Hey, I hope you like this new fanfic of mine. It's a Theo x Hermione.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters
Something lands on me this morning and wakes me up. I open my eyes just a crack and see Crookshanks sitting on my stomach licking his paws. He looks at me and meows.
"I can't feed you if you're on my stomach," I moan, my voice full of sleep.
He lightly jumps off and I struggle out of bed into the kitchen of my apartment. As I'm putting the food in his bowl I hear a tap at the window. I nearly run to the window in hopes of it being my Hogwarts letter. I open the window and a great horned owl soars in dropping a letter with the Hogwarts crest on it onto my table. I pat the owl on its head and open my letter while it flies off again.
Dear Miss Granger,
It is my delight to invite you to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the completion of your seventh year.
Yourself and all others returning from your year will be considered "Eighth years".
You will be granted special Hogsmeade privileges as well as a later curfew.
Books and other items of importance are on the list inside the envelope.
Sincerely,
Headmistress McGonnagall
I open the letter and two more pieces of parchment fall out. That's odd because normally there is only one more. I pick up one of them and read.
Congratulations Miss Granger,
For your excellent performance throughout your school years, we have decided to give you the position of Head Girl.
Please come to Hogwarts one day earlier so that you may become better acquainted with the Head Boy.
We will also be going over some more specific details as well that day.
Sincerely,
Headmistress McGonnagall
I drop the letter in disbelief and a shiny silver badge fell out that had previously gone unnoticed. I pick it up and inspect it thoroughly. It is silver with the Hogwarts crest on it. below the Hogwarts crest is carefully printed lettering saying Head Girl. I pull out the list of books and supplies and read through it. After going through the list I begin planning my next trip to Diagon Alley.
3 days later
I make my way through the bustling alley with the list in my hand. Reading off of the list in my hand I make my way to Flourish & Blotts to purchase my books. As I open the door a light tinkling sound greets my ears.
"Good afternoon Miss Granger," The manager says.
I nod and head off into the seemingly never ending aisles of books. Looking at the list in my hand I didn't notice the person coming up in front of me and, apparently they didn't notice me either. We crashed together and the books that they were carrying fell to the floor.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sor-" I start.
"Granger," a male voice asks.
I look up and see none other than Theodore Nott Jr.
"N-N-Nott?" I manage to stutter.
"Fancy seeing you here," He says.
"Well the new school year is coming up and I need to get my books and supplies," I say.
"So do I, which is why I'm here,' He says.
"Great. Let me help you with your books," I say gesturing to the books that are scattered on the floor.
"No, I've got it," He says. With that, he takes out his wand and accios his books.
"That was smart," I say.
"Hey, Granger?" He asks.
"Yea?" I say.
"Sory for everything I've ever done to you," Theodore says.
"You never did anything to us," I say.
"Not publicly, but in the common room I called you guys some pretty nasty things," He says.
"Oh..." I say at a loss for words.
"So I'm sorry for that," He says.
I look into his eyes and see the truth there. He really is sorry.
"It's ok, you never hurt us," I say.
"Good. I was hoping that we could start again," Theodore says.
"Ok," I say and stick my hand out.
He takes it and we shake.
"So can I call you Hermione now?" He asks.
"Yes. May I call you Theodore?" I ask.
"No," he says," you can call me Theo."
"Great," I say.
"Well Hermione it was lovely to see you again but I must be going." He says.
"Ok, I hope to see you soon," I say.
"I'll owl," Theo says.
I nod and he walks to the register to pay for his books.I then begin wandering the aisle in search of my school books. after finding a purchasing them I exit the shop and make my to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor for a midday snack.
I enter the store and see Harry and Ginny.
"Harry," I almost yell. I run up to him and wrap my arms around his neck.
"Hey Hermione," He says hugging me.
"How was your summer?" Ginny asks.
"My summer was ok," I say,"yours?"
"It was great," says Ginny.
"Have you guys heard of anything from Ron?" I ask.
"No," They both say.
Ron disappeared after the war without telling us. We assumed he needed some time to recover from everything he'd seen. I mean even we lay low for a little while. It's been almost 6 months though and nobody's heard anything. I understand that he needs his time but he could have at least contacted us.
A hand waves in front of my face "Hermione," A voice says.
I look up and see Harry and Ginny looking at me with a slightly concerned look on their faces.
"What?" I say.
"You kinda zoned out on us there," Ginny says.
"Sorry, I was just thinking," I say.
'About what?" Asks Harry.
"Things and people," I say.
"Oh," They say their faces growing somber when they catch my meaning.
"Anyway I have a bit of a schedule to stick to so I don't get home tomorrow," I say.
"Well see you at Hogwarts," Ginny says.
"I'll owl," I say.
I then walk to the counter and order half a scoop of vanilla, half a scoop of chocolate, one scoop of butterscotch, and, to top it all off, chocolate sauce and sprinkles. I take my sundae and sit at one of the tables outside. I take out The Daily Prophet from my bag and several textbooks that I have just bought.
After reading for a bit I leave the parlor and continue through my list of supplies.
That evening
After apparating in front of my apartment building I enter and climb up a few flights of stairs to my apartment. I unlock the door to see Crookshanks sitting there.
"Hey boy," I say," you hungry?"
He just tilts his head to one side and flicks his tail in the direction of his food bowl. I decide to take this as a yes and I go and get some food for him. After feeding Crooks I begin to prepare supper for myself.
I open my fridge and find some eggs, left over sausage from yesterday, and some cheddar cheese. Taking these items out of the fridge I put them on the counter. I then find my cast iron pan and put it on the stove to heat up then, after cracking and mixing my eggs, I put them in the pan and add my sausage. When it is nearly done I sprinkled some grated cheese on top.
When it is fully cooked I take it off the stove and put some of it on a large plate. Then, sitting down at my dinner table, I begin eating. just when I am finishing up my dinner an owl that I've never seen before taps on my window. I walk over to the window opening it letting the owl in. It flies in and drops the letter on my table.
I pick the letter up and open it.
Dear Hermione,
It was nice to run into you at Flourish&Blotts. I hope to see you before we got to Hogwarts.
If you would like to please meet me at Florean Fortescues Ice cream Parlor at 1:00 Saturday August 21.
Sincerely,
Theo Nott
After reading the letter I go to my calendar and check the date. Today is Wednesday the 18 meaning that he wants to meet in three days. I look again, as it turns out I am completely free that day. I go sit back down and finish my supper. When I'm finished I put my dishes in the dishwasher and then go sit down to respond to his letter.
Dear Theo,
I would love to meet up with you on the 21st.
- H.G.
I then tied the letter to his owls leg and sent it off into the setting sun. I decide that the best way to spend the evening is to spend it curled up on my couch reading my newly purchased textbooks.
