Harry Potter. Hermione X Male Reader Story

Toppling Towers and Invisibility Powers

(Y/N)'s POV

After my disaster in potions I was sure Care of Magical Creatures would cheer me up, Hagrid was always a calming influence to be around, I was excited to say the least, but as I walked down the path to Hagrid's I noticed I my walk down was very lonesome.

Nobody else was here. I checked my watch against my new timetable and it was definitely time for Care of Magical Creatures but looking down the path not a single person was in sight.

Finding this rather odd I knocked on Hagrid's door with two sharp raps of my knuckles to check if he was sick or something.

He opened it forcefully and beamed at me "(Y/N), I 'new ye'd come!" He pulled me into such a tight hug I was afraid I'd cough up my lungs.

He looked outside the door and his expression faltered. "You wer' the only one to come I s'pose" I shrugged, "Dunno, should we give it a few minutes?" he turned back to me and nodded hopefully as I scratched Fang behind the ears.

After a few minutes of waiting he sighed heavily, "I think yer the only one comin' (Y/N)" he said sadly, I was a little disappointed but tried not to show it. It was even wore when I had to break the news to him that the others hadn't gone on to N.E.W.T. level with this class.

He held back something that sounded like a sob and said "Yeh want some tea?" I nodded but said, "Well, yeah but I'd also like my Care of Magical Creatures teacher" "Oh, righ'...you sure?" he said, I looked at him strangely. "Why wouldn't I?"

"Well, its just the two of us so there's no point in you stayin' an' wasting yer time" I chortled, "Well, I would quite like my Care of Magical Creatures N.E.W.T. I wouldn't call that a waste."

He went to argue again but I stopped him "I'm staying, plus, you and Fang are excellent company" I said as Fang drooled all over my legs.

Hagrid smiled and went to get ready, disappearing into the forest. He arrived back in about ten minutes calling out to see if I was ready. "Well, let's get to it then!" I said enthusiastically, the lesson started off with a bang.

"HAGRID WHERE THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU GET AN ERUMPENT!" I found myself yelling several times, specifically as we all scattered into the forest.

I watched in horror as a dead weasel that Hagrid had used for bait exploded into many pieces. It was kinda cool in a way, but still horrifying. It took us twenty minutes to contain the creature.

After that was sorted, Hagrid promised me this was just and overenthusiastic taster of the year to come and next lesson we would move on to Fwoopers.

I nodded, "Looking forward to going insane with you Hagrid" He beamed at me and we spent the rest of our 'lesson' eating rock cakes and chatting.

An hour later we all met up again for the Defence Against the Dark Arts. Hermione was already queuing outside, carrying an armful of heavy books and looking put-upon, I sighed and did my duty, lightening her burden and adding to my own.

"We got so much homework for Runes," she said anxiously when we joined her. "A fifteen-inch essay, two translations, and I've got to read these by Wednesday!"

"Shame," yawned Ron. "You wait," she said resentfully. "I bet Snape gives us loads." he groaned, "Speak of the devil" I murmured, Snape stepped into the corridor, silence fell over the queue immediately.

"Inside," he said. Nobody spoke as we settled down, looking around at the shadowy, gruesome pictures. "I have not asked you to take out your books," said Snape, closing the door and moving to face the class from behind his desk.

Hermione hastily dropped her copy of Confronting the Faceless back into her bag and stowed it under her chair. Snape cleared his throat "I wish to speak to you, and I want your fullest attention." He scowled in my direction.
