Harry Potter. Hermione X Male Reader Story

Screaming Eggs and Dancers Legs

Hermione's POV

After we got (Y/N) and Harry's scores, him and Ron made up, we all looked around the stadium to find (Y/N), with no luck. But looking around some of the teachers were missing too, Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall. All of them where nowhere to be found, part of me knew it had to be (Y/N). Harry, Ron and I were together, if it wasn't one of us, it was him, as always.

Our search was cut short as Harry was swept up by a crowd of Gryffindors, Ron went with him, but I continued my search, I found Professor McGonagall, she seemed a bit flustered and was making her way to the castle.

She escorted me to the hospital wing and explained the situation, (Y/N) wasn't in any real danger, he just needed rest, luckily the teachers had prepared for this. But still I followed, only to see him being tended by Madam Pomfrey, his eyes were closed, and he looked very sickly, the egg was on a desk next to the bed.

Madam Pomfrey explained that I could visit him, but he might be a little out of it, and couldn't open his eyes, I nodded and sat down as she scurried out of the room. Muttering something about needing some peace to do her job. 

I didn't even know if he could hear me, but I just started talking, quietly, telling him how well he did during the challenge, books I've read, and other trivial things, but still, silence, so I just sat there for a few minutes, until finally his voice cut through it.

"Hey Hermione, did I ever tell you about the time I fought a dragon? Did you know that Norwegian Ridgebacks were venomous? because I sure didn't." he said weakly, giggling to himself, eyes still closed, he must have heard my voice. "Shhh, don't talk" I panicked. "Takes more than a dragon to shut me up" he smirked.

"Don't worry 'Mione, it only hurts when I laugh" he said weakly, laughing to himself and then cringing. "Or breathe" he continued to wheeze, "Can you ever do anything without getting hurt?" I frowned at him. "No, adds dramatic tension."

How can he joke at a time like this?, he looked at me for the first time since he woke up, he smirked at me frowning at him "Ok next time I fight a dragon, I promise I won't get hurt." Then adding, "Jeez its bright in here" and squinting.

"Where'd I place?" he asked, I paused for a moment, deciding how to break the news, but it seems the silence was all he needed "Last, I was the only one to get hurt then I guess?" he enquired, I tried to comfort him.

"No, but you were the only one-" "Who nearly died, gotcha." he sounded disheartened, I continued, "The judges were furious that you used a potion, so they deducted points, that was the only reason, but Crouch refused to disqualify you" He sighed "Damn" he said, rolling his body away from me. I could tell he was upset.

But I got a shock just as I stood up to leave, he groaned, "Great, I'm out another five galleons" he said with his normal cheer, sitting up. He seemed a little disappointed, but as always, he just put it behind him. I've always admired that about him.

"So, what'd I miss while I was out?" he smiled, "How'd Harry do?" I filled him in with everything that happened, when I told him about Ron's change of heart he smiled, "Good he's stopped being a muppet, he's still not getting those pictures though, he's missed his chance" then he gasped as if he had a revelation.

"Is Norberta ok!?" he said panicked, "I didn't hurt her, did I?" he said, sounding worried. I reassured him she was fine, but he seemed concerned Hagrid would be upset, Madam Pomfrey came in and said his burns had been healed and if he was awake there was no point in him being here, he just needed bedrest, and he could get that anywhere.

So, we stood him up on shaky legs, he paused, patting himself down "Where's my wand? I feel naked, wait. I'm not naked am I?" he said in a panicked voice looking down and breathing a sigh of relief as I tried not to laugh and disturb the other patients, I started to escort him, we decided it was best to go to the common room first, hopefully someone had collected it for him.
