Chapter 34 - The Patronus

Y/Ns POV

"You come into my classroom at this ungodly hour and you ask if you can learn to perform transformation that is impossible for mere 3rd year students?" Mum exclaimed.

"Yes, that's why I came by."

"My answer is no." She said sternly.

"But why not?" I asked.

"Because it is an incredibly dangerous procedure that has disastrous consequences if not performed properly!"

"Please Mum, it could be a nice educational experience, who knows, I may not even want to do it."

That is a lie.

Mum took a few seconds of silence, most likely to think about what she was going to say.

"Fine." She sighed. "But it will be very hard to pull off. But I suppose it could be good for your lessons with Professor Dumbledore."

"Thanks Mum." I hugged her. "Goodnight!"

"Goodnight Y/N." She said. "But please don't let me catch you after hours again."

"Will do, Mum." I said walking out of her classroom.

I made my way back to the Common Room. Being extra careful watching out for Filch, or Peeves for that matter.

I whispered the password and watched the portrait hole fling open to reveal Hermione sleeping on the couch.

She must have been waiting for me to get back.

I went over to the couch and sat down next to her, wrapping my arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer.

"Goodnight Hermione." I whispered while pacing a kiss on her forehead. "Sweet dreams."

I swear I could see a small smile on her face as she cuddled into my chest.

I decided that it was time I got some sleep myself, so with Hermione cuddling into my chest, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Hermione's POV

The next morning, I woke up with my arms wrapped around Y/Ns body. He must have returned to the common room late last night. I gently nudged him as he stirred awake and smiled.

"Good morning Y/N." I said as I hugged myself into him.

"Good morning to you too, Hermione." He said hugging back.

"We should probably get ready for breakfast." I said blushing.

"I suppose you're right."

We separated to go into our respective dorm rooms to get changed, when I came back down the stairs, Y/N was wiggling a mouse toy and playing with Crookshanks and Gracie.

"Shall we go?" I asked petting the cats.

"We shall." He replied while holding out his hand.

I intertwined our hands together and walked with him to the Great Hall for breakfast.

The entire day, we focused on our lessons. However, I did notice Y/N and Harry talking to Professor Lupin after class was over.

They seemed to be taking for a long while, so I decided to head to the library in order to get some much needed work done.

After a few hours, we all met up in the courtyard to go to Hagrids house. The four of us haven't visited him in a while. It was very cold the entire walk down to his cabin. We arrived to find the cabin covered in snow. Ron knocked on the door, but there was no answer.
