3rd Person's POV
Harry didn't talk to Y/n for the following few days. He knew that Y/n was partly right but he felt angry since Y/n wasn't understanding his Situation. He spent hours thinking about her. At some point, he thought of apologizing to her but then he remembered that his point is not something that can be ignored.
It was him who was in danger not her. She had her brother and very rich Uncle, who basically is one the of the most powerful wizard he had seen yet. Plus Y/n had the well-known title of 'The First Female Kim' and 'The Beauty of Hogwarts'. So, definitely anyone would think twice before even having a thought of harming her.
He didn't have anyone like that. He sure had money but it wasn't going to help him in any way. He had two smart and powerful witches as his best friend but he unfortunately isn't on the good terms with them. He knew that Ron and himself aren't very bright but what could he do now?
On the other hand, Y/n was not even thinking about this. She was happy that she had completely accepted being the heiress of Kim. She had introduced Hermione and Julyn to each other and three of them were pretty much spending time together. Julyn told Hermione about her being a lesbian and Hermione said that she had always doubted about it and in the end, she was right. It didn't matter much to her. Just like Y/n, Hermione loved Julyn's company.
On the day of next Hogsmeade Visit. All three girls agreed to have a girls' day out there. Hermione wanted to tell Harry not to come since it actually might be dangerous. But Y/n refused.
"Don't even bother, Hermione. Even if you warn him, he's still going to visit. So, don't waste your time on that" Y/n said as they were walking down the stairs to get to the Great Hall.
"But it is--" Hermione got cut off
"Dangerous, I know... but do you really think he would listen after everything we've been through for few months?" Y/n asked signing
"No.. He won't." Hermione replied in a small voice. "But... Its really shocking to see you and Harry argue, I mean... you two are always so--" Hermione said but got cut off
"Nice, Pink and bloomy?" Julyn said from behind making the girls stopped. They waited for the older girl to walk next to them
"I was going to say 'on excellent terms' but that yours works even better" Hermione chuckled as they continued to walk outside.
"That's fine, it happens between friends. And I understand him and I know he's right to doubt too. That's why I'm giving him to understand it himself.." Y/n said
"Yeah, I agree. Both Potter and Weasley need time. Yours boys will be back with you in no time." Julyn said making the younger girl chuckle but then Y/n realized something.
"Wait, what did you mean by me and Harry being Pink and Bloomy?" Y/n asked
"Are you kidding?? You don't know?" Julyn asked being surprised
"She doesn't.. I never told her and others don't too because its not their business" Hermione replied for Y/n.
"Tell me what?" Y/n asked standing in front of Hermione and Julyn.
"Look... You and Potter are.... you know... always happy when you're with each other" Julyn tried to explain
"But, I'm happy most of the time" Y/n replied not understanding a bit
"Wait, that is true" Julyn said instead of explaining "You are always happy. That's the positivity everyone should have!!"
Hermione signed and said "But Harry isn't... there's a different smile on his face when he's with you.. Every since our first year"
"and.. As I said, you two are most of the time together... like unattachable" Julyn continued
"And because of that.. he's very immersed on whatever you two are doing together and sometimes it looks that you two are in your own world... what's scary is that it feels like that even when you two are not talking and just doing your own different work" Hermione explained
"Most of the girls in my house believe that you two might be dating" Julyn said
"WHAT???WHY?" Y/n asked surprised, she sure didn't knew about this
"It looks like it, at some point even I thought that but your brother denied it so I thought it might be false..." Julyn said "And even it is false.. I have a doubt that Potter might fancy you."
"No, I don't think so, we're friends.." Y/n argued
"Um.. Y/n... I also think it might be true... I noticed it for very long... and I think I can say its true" Hermione said
"I still don't agree because I think he starting to 'fancy' Cho Chang!!" Y/n said making her female friend shock
"What?? how?" they asked
"You two seem very observant ... find out yourself" Y/n smirked getting into the carriage that would take them to Hogsmeade.
Both Hermione and Julyn begged Y/n to tell them about Cho Chang but she didn't do it. Other than that, all three of them had a fun girl's day out.
They went to shopping together. They ate and play a few games. Hermione and Y/n did stuff they could never do with Ron and Harry. Julyn was enjoying with the younger girls too. She had friends in her class but she felt more open with Hermione and Y/n.
Hermione and Y/n spotted Ron alone but his lips were moving like he was talking to someone. Both girls knew that it was Harry. Hermione looked at Y/n. She just shrugged at Hermione mouthing 'told you'.
After half an hour, Jake, Fred and George joined them too. When returning, Hermione and Y/n bid goodbye with Julyn and went straight to their dorm. They were unpacking until Haru entered the room with letter in his beak.
"Who sent it?" Hermione asked as Haru reached Y/n.
"He has it in his beak.. must be someone close." Y/n replied and opened the letter. "Uh-oh"
"What happened??" Hermione asked worriedly as Y/n's face saddened a little.
"Hagrid.... He.. wants us to tell something... must be Buckbeak's case" Y/n replied
"Then why are you sad?? He might have won" Hermione said but Y/n didn't say anything
"Let's go get the boys" Hermione said and they left the room. They met the boys entering the common room. They approached them. All four of them looked at each other, confused and awkward.
"Look... I know we haven't been in good terms recently but we need to stop now... Because all of us know its stupid... We're best friends and we're supposed to stick together, so let's do that" Y/n said to them
"Yeah.. we were too...coming to say that ..to you two" Ron replied
"Really?? Thanks" Y/n smiled at him and turned to Harry "We good??"
"Yes.. we're good" Harry replied smiling
Hermione was staring at Ron to say something like Harry but he didn't. "I.... need time.. to say something like that" Ron said
"Its okay, I wasn't expecting much but... there's something important we came to tell you" Hermione said
"What?" The boys asked
"Hagrid wants to meet all of us.... it regarding Buckbeak's case" Y/n told them
"oh yeah.. he told us that you two help him alot.. we're sorry we couldn't be there" Ron apologized
"Its fine, let's go" The girls replied and they walked outside to go to Hagrid.
"We got to agree.. its a beautiful day" Hermione said looking around
"Gorgeous.."Ron replied " unless one's lovely friend has been lost or maybe eat--"
"Okay, Ron, even if we're friends again, I won't think twice before breaking your bones if you continue that sentence" Y/n threatened
"But-" Ron got cut off
"Its true mate.. It is getting really annoying so just.. leave it" Harry said
Ron wanted to argue but didn't. He knew that Y/n was serious about breaking his bones. And half of him wanted all his best friends together, so he left the topic.
The four of them found Hagrid near the lake. He was throwing stones. Hermione and Ron stood together while Harry and Y/n sat on the rock. Despite being Quidditch players, both of them were tired and calming their breaths.
"How did it go, Hagrid?" Hermione asked loudly so Hagrid could hear her "The Hearing?"
"Well" Hagrid begun "first off, the committee members took turns talking about why we were there" He finished throwing a stone in the lake and then continued "Then, I got up and did my piece. Said how Buckbeak was a good hippogriff always cleaned his feathers."
"Eric helped me through out the case, told the people how good Buckbeak is. He showed the committee the letter Jake and You, Y/n wrote to him... After that, there was a good chance of free charges" Hagrid said.
"But then, Lucius Malfoy, got up." Hagrid continued "Well, you can imagine. He said 'Buckbeak was a deadly and dangerous creature who would kill you as soon as look at you'.. He said that The Kims had powers to control these types of creatures unlike normal wizards and Y/n, specifically, is weirder than others"
"how dare he?" Y/n gasped
"That's exactly what your Uncle said, He was ready to jinx Malfoy right there, But Dumbledore stopped him...." Hagrid said
"And then?" Hermione asked
"And, then he asked for the worst, did old Lucius." Hagrid said
"They're not sacking you, are they?" Ron asked angrily
"No, I'm not sacked." Hagrid said and sobbed "Buckbeak's been sentenced to death!!" Hagrid cried
Harry noticed that Y/n signed. She had asked her Uncle to help Hagrid but he failed. Hagrid told Y/n that Eric tried his best to defend Buckbeak but The committee still favored Malfoy.
The next day, The four of them attended all the classes together. Hermione disappeared and appeared like always but nothing very new happened. Their second last class was Divination. Instead of two, All four of them sat together in one table.
"Good day to you" Said Professor Trelawney in her usual misty voice. "I have decided to introduce the crystal ball a little earlier than I had planned since the fate has informed me that your examination in May will concern the orb and I am going to give the sufficient practice"
Hermione snorted not even trying to keep her voice low "..'the fates??' Who sets the exam? She does! That's some prediction"
Y/n chuckled but Trelawney continued "Crystal-gazing is a particularly refined art.. I do not expect any of you to succeed in first try but we'll see until the end of this class"
The students kept their eyes on the white orb. They could hear people yawn from behind. But Parvati and Lavender were for some reason very immersed in it. Y/n exactly didn't knew why they liked this class. Was it because they are not good at other subjects? Or Is it because they were well not good at practical classes?.
"Why do I feel like I'm an idiot while staring at this?" Harry muttered while keeping his head on his arms he used at pillow
"You are an idiot, Harry" Y/n said sitting beside him. Harry looked at her, she just shrugged
"Seen something yet?" Harry asked ignoring Y/n's compliment
"Yes... there's a burn on the table." Ron replied "someone must have spilled their candle"
"This is waste of time" Hermione groaned
"Does anyone want help to interpret the shadowy portents within their orbs?" Trelawney asked
"I don't want help... I know what this means... There's going to be loads of fog tonight" Ron said making Harry, Y/n and Hermione burst into laughter.
The whole class stared at them and Trelawney was looking little upset. To take away attention, Hermione begun
"Do you mind me trying?" Hermione asked
"sure!!!" Trelawney said walking towards their table
Hermione took a glance at the orb and said "The grim... possibly"
Trelawney took both of Hermione's hand and said "My dear...from the first moment you stepped foot in my class, I sensed that you did not possess the proper spirit for the noble art of Divination..No, you see, there. You may be young in years, but your heart is as shriveled as an old maid's, your soul as dry as the pages of the books to which you so desperately cleave"
Hermione snatched her hand away and stood up. She knocked the orb into the ground and left the class with the orb rolling behind her. "Have I said something?" Trelawney asked and Y/n shook her head
"OH!!!" Lavender suddenly screamed "Professor!! in our first class, you said the someone by the end of the term, will leave us... You knew that Hermione would drop this class!!"
Trelawney just smiled not exactly understanding the girl. Lavender and Parvati on the other hand were deeply impressed
"Really?? She said something like that?" Y/n asked Lavender loudly
"Yes!!!" The girl replied
"How come I never heard that?" Y/n said and thought for a moment and continued as she remembered "Oh right!! I was sleeping during the first class!"
The class, except Lavender and Parvati laughed. Both of them were glaring at her. Y/n looked back at them and raised her eye brow at them. Her look slightly scared them, so they looked away from her.
As the class ended. Y/n quickly grabbed her stuff and said "I have an extra class for Muggle studies, I need to hurry, The class is in the other part of the castle"
"What about Astronomy?" Harry asked as they supposed to be there now
"I'll try to get there before the lesson ends" Y/n said as she left the boys. To their surprise, she did arrive the class on time, Since she and Hermione were paired up, they couldn't ask her if she skipped the Muggle Studies Class.
The Easter month arrived, but instead of enjoying it, The third years were spending it by completing their homeworks. Everyone was annoyed at that they so much Homework and spent almost the whole day completing it. But no one had piles of homework like Hermione did. She had dropped Divination but the other subjects she took still increased her work.
All of the students were in The Great Hall, Completing their work with some evening tea. "They call this a holiday!! Why did they give us so much work?" Seamus groaned while still writing. Y/n was sitting between Harry and Jake. Both of them were doing their homework too.
"And I am officially done!!!!" Y/n said happily and everyone in the hall stared at her. "What?"
"Y-you're done?" Harry asked
"You completed everything???" Seamus asked like Y/n just did a wonder.
"But, Don't you have like..... 11 s-subjects?" Ron asked with horrified face
"11 subjects???!!" Seamus asked again with horror as people of other houses sitting near them whispered the same thing.
"How did you complete it?" Dean asked curiously "There's no way someone would actually complete all the work in such short time"
"um... I did" Jake said catching everyone's attention at the table around them. "I completed my work too... I'm just studying for the O.W.L.S"
"I.. don't get it" George stared at the siblings
"Don't you two practice Quidditch with us??? How come you're done when we are no where near halfway complete??" Fred asked looking alternatively between Y/n and Jake.
"Just Family things" Jake and Y/n replied in unison and did a fist bump. Everyone stared at them for few seconds and continued on their work.
Y/n stood up and walked towards Hermione who was sitting slightly away from others, hiding behind a big pile of books. "Hey, Hermione... let me help you"
"What?? why would I want that?" Hermione asked. Y/n saw the eye bags on Hermione's face.
"Because, you need to take care of yourself!! I am already done, let me help you!!" Y/n scolded, Hermione shook her head "Come on!! just one subject!!.. You're doing Arithmancy right now, right? I'll help you with Ancient Runes... I already translated everything, so you don't need to do it again... I'll write it.."
"But--"
"If you let me help you.. I'll tell you how I get to every single class on time" Y/n said and it got Hermione's attention.
She was dying to know how Y/n was doing it. Hermione too wanted to be at classes on time. And she just started with Arithmancy homework and still had two subjects left. Ancient Runes was one of them. "Fine" Hermione replied making Y/n smile
Y/n motioned Hermione to get closer so no one else could hear her. "You know how Divination, Muggle Studies and Ancient Runes are on same time while Care for Magical Creatures and Arithmancy is at same time??" She whispered
"Yes, I know" Hermione whispered back
"So.. whenever we leave elective classes at 10:00 to go and continue the other class" Y/n whispered and Leaned closer since Hermione was in front of her "I sneak away a little and then I use the Time-Turner to go back in time at 8:45.. every ten minutes before people reach the class"
"I don't get it..." Hermione asked in whisper
"For Example, At 8:55 a.m, I reach Divination class with Harry and Ron which starts at 9:00 a.m and I stay there the whole class. But when we leave that class at 10:00 a.m, I use the time turner to go back at 8:45 a.m, so then I can easily sneak away to Ancient Runes without anyone noticing. I reach the Ancient Runes Class at 8:55 a.m. I take that class with you, from 9:00 to 10:00. And like before I use it and go back 8:45 for Muggle Studies class, But it ends at 9:50, so I don't have to use the Time-turner again, I just sneak away from you to reach the Divination and when the 'me' goes back into time, I take her place" Y/n explained.
Hermione got it, but she still was a little confused. "Okay so, I understand about Divination and Muggle Studies. You come back on the place you left but what about the Ancient Runes one?? Who takes place there?"
"Oh, When I reach The Divination class again at last, that 'me' goes there" Y/n explained "In Short, Me, the past 'me' and the future 'me' help each other and it keeps going on.. I use the same technique to complete my work at the same time. When ever I do that. There's a 'me' from future sleeping somewhere so I don't get tired."
"Its a good idea, you managed very well.. Is there any of 'you' somewhere now?" Hermione asked
"No... Every 'me' went back in the morning. We did the home work together all night" Y/n replied
"Together??!!! You were with your future self.. and you didn't panic?" Hermione asked
"No, Hermione, I have a time table I use when I home work or class... Uncle made me practice it... the whole summer... before the summer ball." Y/n replied.
Hermione chuckled and both continued with their work. While this happened, Y/n didn't knew that people were talking about her.
"11 subject, huh??? each and every homework completed.That girl sure is something" A Hufflepuff 5th year said to his friends.
"I agree... She's good at studies too.... and I heard that she always scores first alongside Granger or something.. Both of them tied the first place with equal marks for 2 years" The Hufflepuff boy next to first one said
"Don't forget her Quidditch Skills.... She's great at that... If that Dementor hadn't got her, we would've definitely lost, even with Cedric catching The Snitch" Another Hufflepuff boy said
"I got to say... why is she so perfect?" A boy next to Cedric said
"For your information... what she is and isn't.. has never been your business" Cedric told all of them "Continue with your work and stop talking. you're disturbing others"
Listening to their Prefect, All of the boys kept their mouth close. Cedric's friends grinned while writing.
The Quidditch Final match of Gryffindor VS Slytherin was by the end of the week. Thanks to Y/n, Hermione's homework was done. The day before the match, The Gryffindor Common Room was celebrating since they reached the finals for the first time in years.
The Gryffindor Quidditch team, on the other hand, was nervous. Wood was nervous too, but he didn't show it to anyone. He didn't want his team to lose hope. And it worked for them, His team were feeling better seeing him.
The Next day, Someone was shaking Hermione lightly, trying to get her up. Hermione opened her eyes to Y/n in Quidditch robes.
"What's wrong Y/n??? There's still time, you can sleep a bit more" Hermione said yawning
"I can't sleep though" Y/n replied "I want your help"
"For what?" Hermione asked wide awake now
"for... my hair..." Y/n replied in low tone "I can't seem to.. tie it.... And if I won't do it, It will bother me throughout the match"
Hermione chuckled "I'll help.... Where's the hair accessories box I gave you?"
"Its there.. I'll get it" Y/n said and went towards her trunk under her bed. She pulled out the present Hermione gave her on Christmas. She gave the box back to her friend
Hermione opened and looked through it. She pulled out a Scarlet red ribbon and said "This will match your Quidditch robe... go get your comb" Hermione grinned
Hermione spent almost half an hour and turned Y/n's shoulder length hair into this -
"woah!!!" Y/n gasped as looked herself in mirror "This is gorgeous Hermione!! Thank you!!!"
Hermione laughed. After an hour, Hermione got ready and both of them were about to go downstairs when
"Good luck Y/n" A voice said. It was Lavender.
"Win the game today!!" Parvati smiled
"You're going to be great!! just be yourself!!!" Padma encouraged her
Y/n looked at Hermione with surprise. Her best friend had the same expression. "Thank you" Y/n said walking downstairs. All of the Quidditch team of Gryffindor were here, Ron was there too. They all stared at Y/n.
Jake begun "You look--"
"Beautiful" Harry's voice echoed the room. He said the words out loud. Everyone in the room stared at him. Harry grabbed his Firebolt and walked out being embarrassed. Y/n caught a glimpse of his face, it was red.
Ron followed Harry with a grin on his face. Y/n turned to Hermione who mouthed 'told you'. Y/n signed and walked out with Hermione chuckle light behind her. Jake was confused, he looked like he wanted to say something but words weren't coming out of his mouth. Fred and George just dragged him.
All of them together reached the Great Hall and were welcomed by roar of cheers and applause. Y/n couldn't help but grin widely. Not just Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were clapping too. They walked inside. Unlike others, Slytherin table didn't like the applause Gryffindor team got because they weren't welcomed like that.
Wood told his team to eat while he touched nothing on his plate. When He was making his team eat, Jake and Y/n made him eat. After finishing everything in his plate, he stood up and told his team that they need to go.
As they were about to walk, There was honored by applause once again. Cho told Harry good luck and Harry visibly blushed. His female friends saw that, Y/n turned to Hermione mouthed 'told you'. She then turned to Julyn who too saw that scene. She was surprised too.
"Good luck, Y/n!!!" Julyn yelled making Y/n laughed.
When they begun to walk Y/n's eyes met Cedric's, he wished her a 'good luck'. Y/n smiled and did a small salute gesture while saying thank you. Harry's mood changed a little at that. The team reached their Changing room. They already were in their robes, so they just waited for Wood to start his pep-talk.
"Listen here, you people" Wood said. "I don't have much to say but...We've been practicing and dreaming about this day. And I am confident that all of you, all of us will do a great job today..." Wood continued
"But remember.. everything you do today matters....... And Its not just about me or about us. Its about The Whole Gryffindor House...... Everyone.Single.Gryffindor. So remember, Whatever we do today is going down History. And I KNOW... We can do this" Wood said making his team smile
"Let's go make Gryffindor Proud!!" Wood smiled back to his team.
