The Chamber of Secrets (Hermione x Male Reader)

Onwards to Hogwarts

For the last week, Hagrid and Y/N stayed at the Leaky Cauldron. It was unexpectedly a nice place to stay, with the rooms neat and tidy and the place was much more comforting during the day when not a lot of people were around yet.

He spent most of his days reading the books. He decided to spend more time reading the books from the first-year, considering how most of the books in the second-year were all about someone named 'Gilderoy Lockhart'. He could immediately tell that guy was full of himself.

But then, the day came for them to finally depart. Hagrid led him over to King's Cross station, which was a bit of a walk from Charing's Cross where the Leaky Cauldron was.

"So is there a tube that goes directly to Hogwarts, or something?" Y/N asked Hagrid as he followed him through the bustling station, pushing his cart that had all his luggage and Loki.

"You could say tha'," Hagrid told him, handing him his ticket. "Now, don' you lose tha' ticket, you hear?"

Y/N nodded, gazing down at his ticket as he continued to follow Hagrid.

"Platform 9 3/4?" He read, his brows furrowing in confusion. He opened his mouth to question Hagrid, but with everything that happened so far, he thought it best to just let things play out.

"Here we are," Hagrid said, stopping suddenly. "I'm afraid this is where we par' ways, Y/N."

"Oh..." Y/N sadly muttered. He had gotten used to the half-giant. He gave Y/N a feeling of comfort whenever he was around him, and even made the boy laugh sometimes during their stay at the Leaky Cauldron.

He looked around, seeing that they were in the middle of platforms 9 and 10. "And what now?"

Hagrid kneeled down to him. "Now... wha' I want you to do now is run straigh' into tha' wall." Hagrid gestured towards the pillar in front of them.

Y/N looked at him like he was crazy, "What?! Are you crazy?! Besides, even if something were to happen what about all these people here? Won't they see me?!"

"You trust me, don' you?" Y/N gave him a conflicted look. He took a deep breath, looking straight ahead at the pillar in front of him. He kicked off his feet, pushing his cart in front of him, gaining speed. He closed his eyes as he neared the brick wall.

The sound of a train whistle made him open his eyes back again. He looked around at his surroundings, finding that he was no longer in King's Cross Station. The one thing that made that obviously clear, was the steam engine train with the words 'Hogwarts Express' on it.

"Bloody brilliant..." Y/N murmured, a smile forming on his lips.

He shuffled through the large crowd of people. Loki's constant screeching was drowned out by the all the voices and the other animal's that were screeching. He boarded the train, and began to search for compartment to sit down at.

He walked for minutes, peering into every compartment to see that it was full. Finally, he reached a compartment that had one empty seat. "Excuse me?" He spoke up, sliding the door open and gaining the attention of the three occupiers. "Can I have a seat?"

"Who do you think you are?" One of them, the blonde one, harshly said. "You honestly think I'd let you sit with me? Get out of here."

The other two sneered at him and he quickly shut the door, mood soured. "What a prick..."

He continued to walk, seeing a bunch of bizarre things happening in different compartments. In one, he saw a pair of twins seemingly setting of tiny explosions from their wands which deterred came from asking to sit with them. Another, a boy seemed to be constant pictures of the people in the room with him.
