Harry Potter. Hermione X Male Reader Story

Laying in Bed and A Floating Head

(Y/N)s POV

It was Christmas, I was exhausted, all of us have been trying to research Flamel with no luck, I even tried to use my advanced charms lessons as an excuse to check out the restricted section, I asked Professor Flitwick for permission, but he wasn't happy with my excuse and said no.

Hermione had left Hogwarts for the holiday, I had to stay this year because my father had been ill so I couldn't visit him for the holiday and my mother had been sent out of the country by the Ministry. Not that I minded, Mum said Christmas at Hogwarts was brilliant. I'm just happy I wouldn't be alone, the Weasleys and Harry were staying too.

A few days before Christmas I made sure my gifts were delivered by owl, a book on Puffskeins for mum, a book on wizards for dad that was written for muggles, both wrapped in green as usual. a signed copy of Hogwarts: A History for Hermione, and finally a Magical creature's book for Hagrid, I made sure that one was more pictures then words.

A lot of books I know but to be fair my only options were delivered to me via the school, Mum had tried to check if I used owls to peak at her presents early, so I had to act like I bought them for personal reading so that nobody caught on they were gifts. 

And with the amount of time I had spent in the library I had books on the brain. I couldn't just "pop out to the local corner shop." as dad put it, so I improvised.

I awoke on Christmas day and I was still tired, so I rolled over. Harry and Ron were already up as I had decided to lay in today and relax. Unfortunately, some people weren't as patient as me. "Get-up-you-great-bloody-lump."

Ron was shaking me and pointing at the presents at the end of my bed. I immediately lumbered towards the stack of presents with all the energy I could muster as I held in a yawn. "G'mornin' guys, Merry Christmas" I said sitting down. 

I picked up Bones who had been at my bedside and started stroking her, she loved the attention. Harry returned the sentiment; Ron was too excited and had already started to open his presents. I followed his lead, placing Bones down to open them.

My first present was red. it was neatly wrapped with tape, as I opened it I discovered it was a huge box of chocolate frogs, looking at the colour of the wrapping paper I realised who it was from "FROM DAD, I hope you like them, I'm not sure if they are the ones you told me about."

I was grinning from ear to ear, I had told my father about wizarding sweets during an offhand conversation we had after Mum had taken me to Diagon Alley for the first time.

Next up was a sparkling yellow gift, I opened it to find a copy of a rare charms book from mum. "I guess great minds think alike" I said out loud, I read her note "For my little Auror" I blushed crimson and quickly hid this note in my pocket so nobody would find it. She had a bad habit of calling me by this pet name ever since I got my wand.

Wanting to continue the theme I had going I scanned my presents for a blue box as usual, then I stopped myself "Idiot" I reprimanded myself, in my excitement I had looked for a gift that I would never receive, A gift from my brother.

To get over my own glumness I quickly moved on, I found a small box, wrapped with brown paper very messily. I opened it and found some rock cakes from Hagrid and a scrawl of a note I believed to be a recipe. "Merry Christmas" it had at the bottom. I made a mental note to thank him later.

I moved on to a very lumpy parcel that seemed out of place, as I picked it up Ron explained. "That's from mum, I told her about you in a letter and she insisted" he went pink at the ears. "Awesome!" I said, after a pause I realised "But I didn't get her anything" I panicked.

Ron dismissed me with a wave of his hand, but I had already made another mental note to send her a thank you. I opened it to reveal a sweater, it looked very warm and had the first letter of my name on it, I was very happy with this, at my size I went through clothes very often, so I was chuffed to receive it.
