Harry Potter. Hermione X Male Reader Story

Wands Away and A Bad First Day

(Y/N)'s POV

I had to get up super early thanks to my new morning ritual, I returned to see Seamus dress at top speed and leave the dormitory. I could tell Harry was upset too, he always gets quiet and grumpy when he's upset.

I went down to join him for breakfast, finding Hermione and Ron already up. "G,mornin" I said. They smiled at me, then looked over at a grumpy Harry. "What's up, Harry?" Hermione asked as we walked down a flight of stairs "You look really angry about something."

"Seamus reckons Harry's lying about You-Know-Who," said Ron, she sighed. "Yes, Lavender thinks so too," she said gloomily. "Been having a nice little chat with her about whether or not I'm a lying, attention-seeking prat, have you?" Harry said loudly.

"No," said Hermione calmly, "I told her to keep her big fat mouth shut about you, actually. And it would be quite nice if you stopped jumping down our throats, Harry, because if you haven't noticed, we're on your side."

I nodded, glad she had brought it up, "Yeah, Besides, I'm the only attention seeking prat around here thanks." There was a short pause. "Sorry," said Harry in a low voice. We assured him it was fine.

Hermione shook her head. "Don't you remember what Dumbledore said at the end-of-term feast last year?" "About You-Know-Who." He asked, 'His gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust —' "

"How do you remember stuff like that?" asked Ron. "I listen, Ron," said Hermione with a touch of asperity. "So do I, but I still couldn't tell you exactly what —" "The point," Hermione pressed on loudly, "is that this sort of thing is exactly what Dumbledore was talking about."

"You-Know-Who's only been back two months, and we've started fighting among ourselves. And the Sorting Hat's warning was the same — stand together, be united —" "and sing Kumbaya" I added "if that means we're supposed to get matey with the Slytherins, fat chance." retorted Ron. I nodded in agreement.

As Professor McGonagall was handing out schedules, she paused beside me. "(L/N) a word? In my office before classes please, your teachers have been informed" I was confused by this but assured her I'd be there.

"What did you do?" said Ron, "Nothing...yet" Hermione frowned at me "we are prefects you know, you aren't meant to tell us when you're going to-" I stopped her "You two won't tell me off, you love me too much" I winked, making my way from the hall and to McGonagall's office.

I was in her office for less than ten seconds before she was shouting at me and pacing. "Two! Two detentions before you left the train...You might set the record" she said. "I know, that's what I said!" I smiled; it was the wrong time.

She sternly glared at me "Explain!" I explained to her that Draco Malfoy was simply being a git, not in those words but she got the gist. She sighed and said that she could forget them this once because I wasn't on school grounds. I thanked her, but I had something to ask her.

"Professor, while I have you, I was going to ask a few favours" she raised an eyebrow. "Professor, Hypothetically, if one were to somehow manage to stumble upon some mandrake leaves in a hospital where they sat quietly for a month and-"

She held up a finger, "I'm stopping you there (L/N), because if you are inquiring about what I think you are, let it be known it is not something to be taken lightly" "Of course not professor but-"

"The decision to become an Animagi is not something that should be done on a whim" "It's not a whim, I need to do this, I need to be as ready as I can be" she turned suddenly, "For what?" she said, her eyes staring into my soul. "Anything"
