The Story Keeper (Hermione Granger x Male Reader)

Chapter 19 He's Been Sighted

Hey guys! Back again.

So, I'm just gonna yeet myself into this chapter with little to no BS here in the beginning. Besides the recap.

So, quick recap.

We found Harry at the Leaky Cauldron and saw the rest of the gang (Just gonna call them the gang from here on). Then we got to play some flirting games with Hermione and then got on the train and got to Hogwarts.

That about sums it up so, without further adieu, let's get to it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your POV...

I watch as Seamus runs up the stairs to the Fat Lady portrait and says the password. The only problem is, she won't open the door.

"I can't get her to open it." Seamus turns to us.

Harry steps forward and tries.

"Fortuna Major."

"Nonono wait. Watch this." The Fat Lady says.

I roll my eyes and cover my ears, knowing what comes next. I watch and partly hear as the Fat Lady tries to break a glass by singing. She eventually breaks it on the pillar nearby in her painting.

"Amazing, just with my voice." She brags.

"Fortuna Major." Harry repeats.

"Yes, alright." The door opens. "Go in."

I smile and we go in.

"Every time, it's the same." One of the guys say.

We keep chatting as we walk into the common room and start splitting into our dorms. I wave to Hermione before heading into the dorm and go to hang out with the guys. We mess around a good majority of the night but eventually went to sleep.

The next day, we are all sitting in Divination. Well, most of us. Hermione isn't here. I think she has a different class. I'm sitting with Harry and Ron as the teacher starts her introduction.

"I am Professor Trelawney, and together we shall cast ourselves into the future. This term, we will be focusing on the art of reading tea leaves, so trade cups with the person opposite you."

I don't have anyone to trade with so I guess I'll just read my own?

"You see, the truth lies buried like a sentence deep in a book, waiting to be read. But first you must broaden your minds. First you must look beyond."

"What a load of rubbish." I hear from next to me.

I almost jump out of my chair as I see Hermione is now sitting next to me.

"When did you get here?" I ask.

"I've been here the whole time." She says.

"No you weren't. I was sitting here alone a few seconds ago."

"Y/n. I've been sitting here with you since the start of class."

"No. I'm pretty sure I would notice you of all people."

"You're losing your mind."

"No, I'm not." I argue in vain.

"Did you sleep last night?" She looks at me.

"Yes. I did.." I stop and think about. "Didn't I?"

She looks at me with a face that says, 'You must not have.' I shrink a little. I didn't feel tired, but I honestly don't remember sleeping last night. I am about to check my leather book when Professor Trelawney is standing in front of us.
