The Story Keeper (Hermione Granger x Male Reader)

Chapter 36 Just Another Beginning of the Year

Hey guys! Author is back!

It's been a while since I last posted and I'm really sorry for that. Combination of laziness and business has taken over with the my "new chapter in life". I'll try to work on some stories when I can. Been getting requests everywhere. For those of you who are now, thank you for choosing this story. For those of you coming back, sorry I took so long.

Going to be a pretty interesting year because it is actually a lot of mainly Harry we see. So I'll be making up some things along the way.

So anyway, recap.

Last chapter, we got attacked by Dementors then went to the Order's headquarters. Got to see Hermione and Ron before Harry showed up. Then had dinner and put a sleepy Hermione Granger to sleep.

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

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

Your POV...

A few days pass and we are getting on the train headed for Hogwarts. Harry has been acting distant recently, which is concerning. I'm really worried about him. We get ourselves a compartment and Harry just stays against the window. I sit with Hermione on one side and Ron sits next to Harry. We talk for a little while and I keep glancing out the window.

"Say Y/n, where is everyone?" Ron asks.

"What do you mean?" I look at him, perplexed.

"You know. Usually one of the characters from our stories rides with us." He says.

"Oh, yeah. There all off places. Tex is leading the Company in France and the Kid went with him. We can all imagine why." I chuckle. "Captain is off exploring the galaxy in the U.S.S Illinois and Little Bud is off on his own journey. There is a new one, but I think we'll meet him when we get to Hogwarts."

"A new one?" Hermione says. "Was there one you didn't tell me about?"

"Maybe." I smirk. "Maybe it's a surprise."

She rolls her eyes and kisses my cheek. "It better be worth the wait."

"Okay, that's a lot of pressure." I comment with a now nervous smile.

"It's you mate." Ron says. "I'm sure you'll be fine."

"Yeah. There's no need to worry about it." Hermione says, laughing a little. " I was only joking."

I smile and shake my head. "You are going to be the end of me."

She smile back and lightly pushes her nose against my cheek for a second in response. We, eventually, get to the platform and off load. I'm walking with my friends to the carriages as I hear an all to familiar voice.

"Surprised to see you here Potter." I can her one Mouth Off say. "I bet there is a cell in Azkaban with your man written on it."

Harry lashes out at Malfoy and Ron and I hold him back, though I am tempted to let him kick his sorry excuse of an ass.

"See what I mean?" He says to his goons.

"Just stay away from me!" Harry shouts at Malfoy.

Ron and I let go of him after a second.

"It's only Malfoy." Ron says. "What did you expect."

We head for the carriages and see as one of the last ones leave. There is only one left that I saw. Neville walks up to us carrying some kind of plant that he must have gotten over the summer holiday.
