Someone Like You (Hermione Granger X Male Reader)

Chapter 6: returning to Hogwarts

I sat in a compartment next to Hermione.

"Where are those two?" I asked

"I don't know, we can't just get off the train and look for them." She said.

"Im sure they will get here soon, anyways, how was your summer?"

"Good, my parents were really happy with my exam results!"

"They should be. My parents were happy too, I passed everything except for potions so they let me take up boxing classes." I replied with pride.

"That's great y/n!"

During my first year at Hogwarts, I had developed quite the bravado. While most people thought of me as cool and confident there were a few, who would call me cocky and arrogant, but I became the most popular boy in our year, and now that I'm eligible to join the quidditch team for Gryffindor, I couldn't wait to show off my skills as a chaser.

"So, Harry told me you are wanting to join the quidditch team as a chaser." She said

"Yea, the Gryffindor team already has three chasers so I'm going to have to outperform one of them if I'm going to get on." I replied

"Well I'm sure you will be a great cha - is that Harry and Ron?" Hermione asked as she looked out the window.

"What the fuck are they doing?" You laughed as they flew past in a flying car. "Second year is already off to a very interesting start." I laughed.

"Idiots." Hermione mumbled.

When we arrived we took carriages instead of boats, but the carriages had no horses... a bit weird but ok. We got to Hogwarts and my mind was flooded with memories, like when Gryffindor won the house cup, or when me Fred and George ran from Snape, good times.

All the first years had been sorted into their houses, Ginny was put into Gryffindor, no surprise about that, and you all headed back to the common room. As soon as I walked in Dean Thomas, one of my best friends, ran up to me.

"Y/N!"

"Hey Dean, did you watch Evander Holyfield vs Larry Holmes?" I asked. Me and Dean initially became friends because of our shared love of boxing.

"Yeah man, sad to see Holmes lose that way, I was always a big fan. " Dean replied.

"Larry is just passed his prime now, he should probably retire."

As you and Dean continues to talk about boxing and the summer holidays, Harry and Ron entered the common room.

"You guys have completely lost the plot!" I laughed.

"The barrier had been blocked off, we couldnt get through." Harry explained

"And you didn't get into any trouble?" Hermione asked.

"Dumbledore and McGonagall saved us from Snape." Said Ron

"I thought for sure we were going to be expelled."

"I really can't understand how you to are able to avoid trouble like this." Hermione chirped

"Well... It wasn't our fault, the barrier was blocked off, we couldn't get to the platform." Ron explained timidly.

"Why would it be blocked off?" Asked Hermione

"Maybe someone doesn't want you to come to Hogwarts." I said. Everyone stared at me awkwardly.

"Oh c'mon, I'm only joking!" I said loudly. "Well it's getting late, goodnight Hermione." I said

"Goodnight Y/N, goodnight Harry, goodnight Ron." She said as us three ran up to our dormatories and slept.
