~ Chaptor 3: Merlin, I love her ~

The next day came and it was time for your first day as a 6th year. You were waken up to the sound of a voice.

"Y/n! Y/n! Wake up we are going to be late on the first day!"

You groan, shifting in bed to face the girl who was speaking to you, rubbing your eyes.

"Whyyyyy..." you mumble, sitting up and facing the girl, turning out to be Hermione, your dorm buddy, not surprising.

"Class starts at 8:35! It's 8:27! Get up!" Your eyes widen at her statement, throwing the covers off you and stepping out of bed, nearly falling over.

Hermione moves out of the way as you hurriedly walk to your suit case and start changing.

Hermione walks over to your nightstand and starts packing your backpack for you, putting your books, journals, and paper work in there.

You had already threw on a white button up with black slacks and your Grifindore robe. You quickly put socks on with your shoes.

Wait.. breakfast starts at 8.. that means she left breakfast early to make sure I had enough time to get ready. You smile. Merlin, I love her.

You run to the bathroom and do your routine quickly. You run out of the bathroom and your backpack was thrown into your arms, you catch it sloppily.

"Cmon!" Hermione calls, starting towards the door. You follow. She stops and you bump into her, causing an 'oof' sound to escape your lips.

She turns around. "You forgot your tie!" She says, running to your trunk and taking out your Gryffindor tie.

She runs back over to you and wraps it around your neck, starting to tie it as you smile at her.

You too have been close for a while now, I mean over 5 years of friendship. She's always been there for you. Sometimes you feel as though she acts like a worried sick mother for you. You remember the first time you two got closer.

It was in the middle of the night.

You were shaking, shifting and sweating terribly while you were asleep due to a horrific dream.

You were a 3rd year.

Ever since yours and Harry's mishap with Professor Quirrell and The Sorcerers Stone, you were having these strange dreams.

In your dreams, you would see flashing, moving images and a voice that sounded inhumanly.

You mostly saw a huge snake looking creature moving towards you and baring it's teeth.

Another flashing image would be Mrs Norris, Filches cat, handing from a hook, completely petrified, a near by torch lighting up her red, terrified eyes.

One that really bothered you was blood dripping from the stone walls of the Hogwarts hallways. The blood would drip in a form of letters but never a word.

It all deeply scared you.

What could this mean? Are people in danger? Are you in danger?

You woke up in a cold sweat, sitting up quickly and breathing heavily.

What was that?! You rub your eyes and look around the room. Same surroundings you saw before you went to sleep.

"Y/n?" You quickly turn your head to the sound of your name. "Y/n are you alright?"

It was Hermione. She woke up as well, probably due to your breathing.

"Oh yeah I'm okay.. just- the nightmares again."

"Ah." She said, frowning a little. Usually she says goodnight and goes back to bed but this time, she climbed on the bed with me and slipped under the covers.

You raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing?" You asked with a small chuckle.

"I'm going to hold you until you fall asleep."

You scoffed, "I'm not a baby-"

"Just shut up and lay down."

From that night on, she comforted you and you ask her to hold you when the nightmares are especially bad.

Hermione smiles at you one last time before taking your arm and dragging you to your first period, Defense Against the Dark Arts.
