New boy (male reader x Hermione)

Part 7-page 394

"Alright students the school has been fully searched and is safe" I hear Dumbledore shout as I slowly open my eyes and look around and see others do the same "mmh" someone mumbles in my ear and I quickly realise that Hermione was still leaning against my shoulder, I must've fallen asleep like this. I gently nudge my shoulder and her eyes stir awake "good morning sleeping beauty" I smile and let out a laugh when her eyes widen and she jumps back like she had an electric shock "I'm so sorry, I didn't even realise I had fell asleep" she says as her face starts to turn redder and redder. "Oh look Harry the lovebirds are awake" Ron walks over with Harry in tow "ha ha yes very funny Ron" I get up giving him a punch on the arm as I do making him wince and the others laugh, we make our way back to the common room to start the day.

After a quick breakfast we head to DADA we all sit down and wait but to my surprise Professor Snape struts through the door flicking his wand to close all the window shutters and pulls down the projector screen "turn to page 394" he bluntly states as everyone looks around confused but do as instructed "excuse me sir, where's Professor Lupin?" Harry asks as Snape walks by "that's not really your concern is it Potter? Suffice it to say your Professor finds himself incapable of teaching at the present time" he says and starts to put the projector on at the back of the class. I see Ron at the table next to me slowly turning his textbook pages when I hear a whoosh of a wand and Snape puts it to the correct page "werewolves?" He asks clueless "But sir, we just learned about red caps and hinkypunks we're not meant to start nocturnal beasts for weeks" Hermione says from beside me but I could've sworn she wasn't here a minute ago and I wasn't the only one who noticed "did you see her come in?" Ron questions me but I just shrug as this seems to be a theme with the bookworm lately.

"Now which one of you can tell me the different between an animagus and a werewolf?" Snape asks the class and Hermiones hand shoots straight up but Snape ignores her "no one? How disappointing" he sighs as slides move on the projector screen "Please sir, an animagus is a wizard who elects to turn into an animal, a werewolf has no choice. With each full moon when he transforms he no longer remembers who he is, he'd kill his best friend if they crossed paths. Furthermore the werewolf only responds to calls of its own kind" Hermione finishes, Malfoy lets out a fake howl "Thank you Mr Malfoy, that's the second time you have spoken out of turn Miss Granger. Are you incapable of restraining yourself or do you take pride in being an insufferable know it all?" He rudely states "He's got a point you know" Ron whispers over "Shut it Ron" I whisper/shout back at him, I can see Hermione is visibly upset after Snapes words "Sir she flawlessly answered your question, you should be rewarding her for her incredible knowledge" I say without thinking "If that's how you feel Mr Lupin, 5 points from Gryffindor" He glared at me but I hold his gaze "And as an antidote to your ignorance, two rolls of parchment on the werewolf with emphasis on recognising it, on my desk Monday morning" Everyone groans "Bit sir it's quidditch tomorrow" Harry tries to reason with him "Then I suggest you take extra care Mr Potter, loss of limb will not excuse you" Snape shuts him down "Page 394."

We walk out of that horrible lesson with dampened moods but before I can join the guys to complain about it I get pulled around the corner away from my classmates and get pulled into a hug, I stand rigid for a moment until the scent of flowers and parchment hit my nose "Thank you for standing up for me" Hermiones words get muffled into my chest, I wrap my arms securely around her smaller frame "of course he had no right to treat you that way, I reckon he's just jealous you're smarter than him" I say making her let out a shakey laugh. I pull her back and fully take in her exhausted state "you're overworking yourself love" I rub my hands up and down her arms to soothe her "It's just with all my classes and the Sirius Black situation and with Harry being in danger never mind what's going to happen to Hagrid after the hippogriff incident" She rants and I wrap my arm around her shoulder and lead her back to the common room.

"Here we have 20 minutes till our next class and you need some rest so here" I sit down on the sofa and pat my shoulder "oh no I couldn't I might need to refresh my mind in case there's any material I missed or-" she starts to ramble "Hermione" I glare until she sighs and sits next to me with a blush on her cheeks "I'll wake you up when it's time to go" I lean her head on my shoulder and she tenses but after a minute I feel her body relax into mine and I smile to myself but that doesn't last too long as I think about why my dad wasn't teaching today usually he'd tell me if he's not feeling well maybe I should ask Professor Mcgonagall later.

The 20 minutes pass all too soon and I wake the sleepy head "hmm I really needed that" she stretches "I'm happy to be of service, I hate seeing you drained like that" i say as I get up and wrap her any my own school bag around my shoulders "shall we?" I jokingly stick my arm out to her which she gently takes with a giggle and I walk her to her next class in comfortable silence and drop her at the door I notice she seems hesitant to let go of my arm "thank you for that Andrew I really appreciate it" she says as she walks into the classroom "Anytime your majesty" I give her a bow and smugly head to my next class which I may have been late for but I won't tell her that if she'd have my head.
