More Than Magic (Hermione x Male reader)

Year 6 - Yeah Sorry

As we went through the book I saw that these instructions were wrong I remember hearing my dad go over the way to make one of these once but the book was off. I felt like I had an unfair advantage over the others that was until Harry realized the trick to the first part of this task so I decided to see how much he knew.

"How did you two do that?" Hermione asked.

"Crush it, don't cut it," I said.

"No, the instructions specifically say to cut," Hermione said.

"No, really," Harry said as Hermione examined the book.

As the rest of the class continued to mess things up each in different ways one after another me and Harry were the only ones not struggling.

"Merlin's beard! It is perfect! So perfect I'd just say one drop would kill us all!" Slughorn said after assessing our potions.

"Both of them," I said.

"Yes," Slughorn said.

"Then who won," I said.

Slughorn disappeared into his office for a few moments before returning a moment later with a second vial of Felix Felicis.

"Here we are then, as promised. One vial of Felix Felicis. One each. Congratulations. Use it well," Slughorn said as we were given out vials and the class clapped.

A few days later and I was watching the Quidditch tryouts with Hermione as Ron was hoping for a spot on the team.

"Okay, so this morning, I'm gonna be putting you all for a few drills just to assess your strength. Quiet, please!" Harry said as all the kids all but Ron ignored him.

"Shut it!" Ginny yelled and they all did.

"Thanks. Alright, um, now then, remember, just because you made the team last year does not guarantee you a spot this year. Is that clear? Good," Harry said their silence being a decent answer.

"You think he'll make it," Hermione said.

"He has put in all the work he can he can differently play well enough but he might not," I said.

"Why not," Hermione said.

"See that guy over there that is Cormac Mclaggen he is quick enough on the ground but in the air, his accuracy might rival Harry's," I said.

"Huh," Hermione said with an odd look on her face.

During the tryouts, Ron and Cormac were both saving all the balls that were thrown but Cormac was just being a showoff. It was when it got the final ball to see who would be the keeper the ball was thrown at Cormac and then Hermione said confundus under her breath.

"Really you hate him that much," I said.

"Oh be quiet," Hermione said.

"I have to admit I thought I was going to miss that last one. I hope Cormac's not taking it too hard. He's got a bit of a thing for you, Hermione... Cormac," Ron said as he sat on the sofa across from me and Hermione.

"He's vile," Hermione said.

"Have you ever heard of the spell, Sectumsempra?" Harry said showing the book to me and Hermione.

"No, I haven't. If you had a shred of self-respect, you'd hand that book in," Hermione said.

"Not bloody likely like Y/N. He's top of the class," Ron said.

"Slughorn thinks he's a genius, whereas I'm just naturally gifted," I said as I remember what Slughorn said as I left the class.

"I'd like to know who's that book was. Let's have a look, shall we?" Hermione said getting up.

"No," Harry said a little defence.

"Why not?" Hermine said as I stood.

"The binding is fragile," Harry said.

"The binding is fragile?" Hermione said.

"Yeah," Harry said before I wiped the book out of his hand from behind him.

"Who's the Half-Blood Prince?" I said opening the book.

"Who?" Hermione said.

"That's what it says right here. This book is property of the Half-Blood Prince," I said tossing her the book.

It was a few days later we are all on a trip to Hogsmead village and Hermione was once again ranting at Harry about the book.

"For weeks, you carry around this book. Practically, sleep with it, and yet you have no desire to find out who the Half-Blood Prince is," Hermione said as we walked hand in hand close for warmth as it was snowing.

"I didn't say I wasn't curious and I don't sleep with it," Harry said.

"Yeah you do," I said.

"Well, I got a nice chat before I go to bed. And all you do is that bloody book. It's like being with Hermione," Ron said as I shoved him.

"Well, I was curious So I--" Hermione began but we cut her off.

"Went to the library?" We all said.

"And?" I said getting her to continue.

"And nothing I couldn't find a reference anywhere to the Half-Blood Prince," Hermione said.

"There we go. That settles it, then," Harry said.

"Settles what we still don't know anything," I said.

"Ah hoping to find you in the Three Broomsticks," I see Slughorn say to Flitwick.

"Uh no, emergency choir practice from the freight house," Said Flitwick.

"Does anyone fancy a butterbeer?" Harry said.

"Here," I said finding a table.

"Ron, sit aside me," Harry said.

"Okay," Ron said confused.

"Something to drink?" A waiter said.

"Four butterbeers and some ginger in mine, please," Hermione said.

"Oh, bloody hell," Ron said seeing Ginny and Dean.

"Ron, see they're only holding hands. And snogging," I said string to stifle a snigger.

"I'd like to leave," Ron said

"What?" Hermione said.

"You can't be serious," I said.

"That happens to be my sister," Ron said.

"So? What if she looked at me and saw you snogging me? Would you expect her to get up and leave?" Hermione said.

"I doubt Y/N would let me anywhere near you if snogging was my intention," Ron said.

"He's not wrong," I said.

"I was just giving an example to show Ron is being an idiot," Hermione said.

"We know he's an idiot and I'm sure he does every now and then I don't think he needs a constant reminder," I said.

"Yeah sorry," Hermione said.

"Of course you side with your boyfriend," Ron said.

"You'll understand when you have a girl of your own," I said.
