Hermione Gaunt [DraMione] {Wattys 2017}

16: Brendan Jonathan Gaunt

~ Hermione Granger / Briella Gaunt ~

Two weeks have passed since my study session with Scarlett. Scarlett and Louis are still dating, a secret still kept from everyone but me. Scarlett is planning on telling everyone before the term ends. I wonder how Margarey will take it, her youngest daughter in a relationship that she's kept secret for months. She'll probably be pissed.

Today I'm supposed to be helping Brendan study for an up coming History of Magic test. History of Magic is Brendan's worst subject. Probably, along with the majority of class, Brendan sleeps during class and copies his notes from someone who didn't sleep. That person is usually Draco or I because we actually care for our studies.

I hope me helping my siblings with their studies won't become a usual thing on the weekends because I have important things to do on my weekends. Like planning my bloody wedding. Which is happening in seven months.

I grab my notes and my History of Magic book. I leave the girls dormitory and walk down to the Slytherin Common Room. Since Brendan and I are both in Slytherin, we can just study and do homework in the Common Room.

Blaise, Brendan, and Draco are all sitting at a table. They already have their books out and they all seem agitated. Brendan and Blaise are looking at their copied notes with matched faces of horror on their faces.I sit down on the chair next to Draco.

"Hey guys" I say as I sit down next to my fiancée.

Draco smiles at me and grabs my hand from under the table. I gently squeeze his hand and smile back at him. Blaise pretends to gag, earning a glare from both Draco and I.

"Chill out you two, I was just joking" Blaise says, rolling his eyes at Draco and I.

"Hey Brie. Let us start this study session" Brendan says.

~~~~~
We spend the majority of the day studying for the History of Magic test and other upcoming tests. Blaise and Draco left an hour or so ago for Quidditch practice. They both play for the Slytherin team; Draco is the keeper and Blaise is a chaser.

"How are things with you and Daph?" I ask her.

Daphne and Pansy aren't studying with is because they're hanging out with other Slytherin girls in our year. Daphne and Brendan are basically inseparable. Draco and I hang out a lot but we don't make our lives fully revolve around one and other.

"Things are going pretty great, Brie. How are things with you and Draco?" Brendan asks, looking happier since I brought up Daphne.

"Great, things are going great" I say with a genuine smile.

"That's good" Brendan says, returning my smile with a genuine one of his own.

"Yeah, it is" I say.

"How did your study session with Scarlett go a few weeks ago?" Brendan asks.

"It went pretty well. She's a very smart girl" I say.

"Yeah, just like her older sister" Brendan says with a chuckle.

"Thanks" I say with a smile.

"She told me you know about Georgina" Brendan says quietly.

Georgina Faith Gaunt was Brendan, Scarlett, and I's older sister. She would've been twenty-two if she hadn't died during the Second Wizarding War. She had sided with Voldemort and his Death Eaters, going directly against Margarey and the Gaunt family values.

"Yeah. Why didn't you or Margarey tell me about her?" I ask in an equally quiet voice.

"Because Margarey disowned Georgina after she decided to align herself with Voldemort and his Death Eaters" Brendan says with a scowl on her face.

"Oh. Why don't I remember her at all?" I ask him.

"Because ever since she was born, she was a troublesome child. When we were born, Mum sent Georgina to live with Dad's parents. She came back to live with us when she was eleven but she was only home during breaks from Hogwarts" Brendan explains.

"So I never got to meet my older sister" I say sadly.

"She talked about you a lot y'know. When you were a first year she was a fourth year and she was also very smart. Georgina was in Ravenclaw, just like Scarlett and Dad" Brendan says with the hint of a smile playing with his lips.

"So I guess being smart does run in the family. And it just happened to skip over you" I say jokingly.

"I'm smart but I'm not a super genius like you and Scarlett" Brendan says with a pretend scowl on his face.

"And Dad and Georgina apparently" I say with a smirk.

"That's Draco's fucking smirk! He's rubbing off on you and I don't like it" Brendan says, slightly narrowing his eyes.

"Well Draco and I are getting married so deal with it" I say, wearing the same smirk.

"I will seriously murder him if he hurts you in anyway" Brendan growls, going into full big brother mode.

And this is what Louis is going to deal with, worse probably since Scarlett is keeping their relationship a secret. He's seriously screwed. Louis will also have to be approved by Margarey.

"He won't, Brendan. No need to get your knickers in a twist" I scowl.

"He is rubbing off on you, Brie! He's a bad influence!" Brendan exclaims.

"He's my future husband and your future brother-in-law" I say quietly, not wanting to draw the attention of the younger Slytherin's.

"I know that, Brie. I was kidding" Brendan replies.

We end up spending the rest of the day hanging out in the Slytherin Common Room.
