How you meet~ Set in first year

Your P.O.V.

I've been on this train for about an hour and I'm in here by myself. All alone in an empty compartment. Everyone else has a friend or two on here with them, but not me. I kept looking out the window at the passing scenery, trying to keep my mind off of it.

I'd been staring out the window for who knows how long before the compartment door slid open. I thought that it was just the Trolley Lady, but a voice spoke.

"Hello, I was wondering if you've seen a toad, a kid named Neville has lost his," the voice said.

I turned my head to see a girl with bushy brown hair and the same colored eyes. She stood in her school robes and one hand down by her side while the other was on the door.

I shook my head, saying that I hadn't seen a toad anywhere. But we both heard a croak-like sound somewhere.

I looked under the seat and sure enough, there was a toad.

"Found him," I sighed and picked it up and handed it to her. "I find it funny how a toad would rather hang out with me rather than actual people."

"I'm sure there are many people who'd like to meet you, you're a first year, right?" she asked.

"Yeah," I replied and sat back down by the window.

"I am as well. Hermione, Hermione Granger," she stuck out a hand.

"Y/n. Y/n Diggory," I took her hand and shook it.

"I hope to see you again soon, y/n," she smiled.

"Same here," I smiled back as she wandered down the corridor, probably giving back the toad to the kid who lost it.

Who you are related to~

The lovely Hufflepuff Cedric Diggory is your dear older brother.

What year you're in~

You both are in the same year at Hogwarts.

Your house~

Slytherin (Oh, plot twist)

Realizing your feelings for each other~

You:         set in the middle of second year

Your P.O.V.

"Did you hear," Draco started at the table in the Great Hall, "that Granger girl got petrified."

I stopped chewing for a second, but quickly resumed, not wanting to draw any attention. Hermione and I don't talk that often, seeing as we are in opposing houses. We say hi here and there, but we don't really hang out as much as we'd both like.

I mentally decided to go and see her after dinner was dismissed. I slowly and quietly picked apart bite size pieces of bread with my fingers and fed myself.

Once dinner was dismissed I smoothed out my skirt and headed towards the hospital wing. I don't know why I was so nervous, I was just visiting for a few minutes. Sooner than I realized I was standing in front of the hospital wing's doors.

I knocked and Madam Pomfrey opened the door. She smiled at me, already knowing who I am because of my brother. She let me in and I walked over to where Hermione was on the bed.

Her right hand was extended out while she had a strange expression on her face. Soon afterwards Harry and Ron came into the room and stopped at my presence.

"Oi, why is a Slytherin here. Beat it," Ron said harshly. "Who are you anyway?"

I was taken aback by his venomous words. "I'm y/n Diggory." I could feel my face quickly heat up. "And it's really harsh to tell someone to leave just because of their house because I bet if I were a Ravenclaw, Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, you wouldn't have said a single word."

It was his turn to turn red. That seemed to shut him up.

"Wait, are you Cedric's sister?" Harry asked.

I nodded my head and turned back to Hermione and crouched down beside her. "Do either of you know when she'll be back to normal?"

"We have no clue," Harry replied.

I nodded in understanding and stood back up. "I guess I'll be heading out. I'll see either of you later I guess."

I felt sadder that I should have hearing that news. I walked past them and out the door. I made my way back to the Slytherin Common Room quietly and peacefully.

I entered and made my way up to my dorm room without a word to anyone. I flopped on my bed and rolled over onto my back. I felt really bad that Hermione was petrified, even though it wasn't my fault.

Even though we didn't hang out often, she was the first person I met here, so I felt we were supposed to be together. I felt like some force had pulled us together somehow, like we were meant to be together, not just as friends.

I sat up and tried to shake these thoughts out of my head, she doesn't even like me that much anyway, she wouldn't feel the same, would she?

Her~       set in third year

Hermione's P.O.V.

I watched as y/n walked through the corridors, I caught myself stealing glances at her during meals and I got excited whenever I'd seen her in the library. I'd always get even more excited to go to the library to see if she were there.

We never hung out much these last years, but I wish that wasn't true. I truly want to have a relationship of some kind with her.

Harry and Ron have both seen me looking at her, or in her general direction, during Gryffindor and Slytherin classes. They both either nudge me or look at each other with strange looks on her faces.

I always get anxious to see her at any point during the day and I feel disappointed when I don't see her at all.

I would always feel butterflies in my stomach whenever I saw her or had the chance to talk to her. I feel like that first day on the train was a message of some kind. I felt it in my gut.

"Hey Hermione, are you alright? You've been staring at y/n for the past five minutes," Harry nudged my shoulder.

I hadn't realized that I'd been zoning out at all. I blushed and glanced back over to her to see her looking at me as well, but she quickly looked away. I smiled to myself at how cute she could be.

Harry and Ron sniggered beside me and I threw a death glare their way. My face still felt a bit warm as I went back to doing my class work, but I couldn't focus on it at all. All I could think about was y/n.

Nicknames~

yours: Beautiful. She'd go with classic nicknames. She'd usually change them up all the time, but she'd always come back to "beautiful".

hers: Honey bear. You tended to go with the funnier nicknames. Much like her, it changed often, but Honey Bear will always be your guy's favorite one.

Her pick up line~

*form of a note*

"You know what's beautiful? Read the first word."

You just blushed and smiled at the note and sent her one back.

"I'm not a mirror Hermione"

That seemed to make her melt into a little puddle on how cute you can be.

Your pick up line~

"Roses are red, my face is too, that only happens when I'm around you."

She pulls you into a hug and laughs about how adorable you are.

Confessions~     Fourth year

Your P.O.V.

I watched my brother go into the maze for the final task of the Triwizard Tournament. I felt pretty uneasy about the whole thing. I sat with Hermione and ron, who were both cheering on Harry, while I cheered on for both Cedric and Harry.

*time skip cause I think you all know where this is headed*

It has been a while since they entered the maze, but I waited patiently and uneasy until they made it back.

"Y/n look!" Ron pointed towards the maze.

Harry and Cedric made it out of the maze, but something was wrong, I could tell. I stood up to get a better look at what was happening. I saw Harry lay Cedric down on the ground and scream something. I saw our father run out towards him, yelling something as well.

Everyone stepped back from the scene once Dumbledore came and got Harry off of Cedric. My jaw dropped open in disbelief. Hermione stood up beside me once she saw my reaction.

My hands covered my mouth as I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. I ran out of the stands as fast as I could, Hermione and Ron trailed behind me. I ran to the entrance of the arena and stood there. Our father came up to me and pulled me into a tight hug.

I could tell he'd been crying, or was close to it. I trembled in his arms as I cried as well.

"Is he really gone?" I choked out.

My father sadly nodded his head. I turned back to Hermione and Ron and cried to them. They heard the whole conversation between my father and I.

Hermione was quick to pull me into a bear hug and quickly took me away from the whole situation. Ron had stayed behind to talk to Harry when he got the chance.

Hermione took me by the lake and sat us both down. I cried on her shoulder as she took her jacket off and wrapped it around my shoulders, even though it was warmer outside.

"Hermione, I love you, please never leave me," I blurted without realizing what I was saying.

I was quick to realize it and covered my mouth with my hand. She looked shocked at first, but soon became relaxed again. She put her hands around my middle and pulled me in front of her.

"Listen y/n, I like you too. I just didn't know how to tell you, or when, that's why I asked you to the Yule Ball."

I wrapped my arms around her neck and pulled her in for a hug. I put my head on her shoulder and she leaned her head onto mine. We both just sat there hugging each other by the lake, with our secrets out.

What clothes you steal from her~

She would actually steal clothes from you more often that you from her. the most you'd do was a hair tie or two, while she'd somehow take a t-shirt from your closet. you always let it slide, thinking about how cute she looks in your t-shirts.

Who is your BFF~

Surprisingly Draco was pretty close to you. You never remembered how or when you two began talking with each other, it just did.

Her ex/who doesn't like you~

ex: she didn't have a real relationship with someone before you

who doesn't like you: I mean, Ron did like you, he just gets a bit upset when he sees you two together. Other than that, no one really.

Her favorite feature of you~

Physical: She loves your hands and feet. She loves how your hands fit in hers and how you will always have your nails painted one way or another. She loves your feet because when you read something your toes always curl up.

Personality: She loves how family orientated you are. With your family, her's or anyone's, you always make them feel like a family and always help the whole time.

Holding hands and kisses~

(Ignore that the picture is of a guy and a girl, that's the best that I could do)

Holding hands: You both hold your hands in various ways, there's no one way you both hold your hands.

Kisses: One takes the other off guard when they do it. Not all the time, but about 75% of the time this is the case.

Anniversary gifts~

Her: You made her a jar filled with Happy messages and memories for her to read whenever she was feeling sad.

You: She got you a sweatshirt with something funny written on it.

Yule Ball dress~

Your patronus~

Your patronus is a Fennec fox. You are much like your family, but more easy going. You are playful, light hearted and shy, but you have a great sense of humor.

What you do for fun~

you: You like to help out in the library. Whether it's putting away books or helping fellow students stuy, it's just where you like to have fun at.

together: You both just sit with each other. Either talking endlessly about things, or just sitting in silence.

Your hidden talent~

Very persuasive. You always knew how to somehow get something to go your way, or close to going your way. You are very good at negotiating and persuading someone to be on your side.

What you are afraid of~     First year

Your P.O.V.

We all headed outside for our lesson for today. I knew I was going to see Hermione because it was a Slytherin and Gryffindor shared class. But, it was one of my least favorite lessons. Flying. 

I always hate the thought of flying, I just don't like it at all. The thought of being so high in the air and having the possibility of plummeting to your death within a few seconds is frightening, and rightfully so. 

I saw all of the brooms on the ground and quickly took my mind away from the thoughts running through my mind. Everyone, including myself, took position beside a broom. I stood closer to the end of the line, and somehow ended across from Hermione.

We both smiled at each other for a second before the professor started talking. 

"Just put your hand over the broom and say 'up'," the professor instructed.

I everyone did as they were told. I was one of the first few who got the broom to jump into my hand. I was caught off guard for a second, I wasn't expecting it to leap up that fast. 

*time skip, because reasons*

After the class we were dismissed back indoors and I went straight to the library with Hermione following me. This is one of the few times we can actually "hang out", if you'd even call it that. 

Once we both sat down in the library and got our books out onto the table. Hermione kept on looking at me strangely, like she had something to tell me. 

Before I could ask her about it she asked. "Y/n why were you so jumpy at the lesson?"

I swallowed and whispered. "I don't like the thought of flying, on brooms, planes, anything. I just don't find it appealing to do."

She nodded in understanding and didn't question me anymore, seeing that I was uncomfortable talking about it.

Her favorite outfit (house edition)~

Her favorite outfit (non-house)~

Why she likes it: She loves seeing you wear all of the shirts she buys you and always in excited to see what you'll pair it with for the weekends or on simpler dates.

She finds it cute when you~

She finds it cute when you sneeze. Many people do like this, sometimes, with their significant other. When you sneeze it sounds like a little kitten. You may look all tough, but you sneeze like a kitten, and Hermione really likes it.

Who hits on you~

Ginny would flirt with you now and again, but you were too smart to ever fall for it. 

What Disney characters/couple you are compared to~

you: Duchess (The Aristocats). You looked very put together and are respected by those who don't know the real you, but on the inside you know how to have fun, you just have to crack open your shell to new people. 

her: Kim Possible. She's Kim Possible because she can kick butt and also keep up with everyday life. She can stabilize schoolwork, friends/relationships and trying not to kill or get killed at the same time.

couple: Esmeralda and Phoebus. the reason you two are like this Disney couple is that Hermione had the chance to fall in love with a more "main character", but she chose another character, but it ended up being a good decision. (I've only seen the Hunchback of Notre Dame once and it was almost two years ago, so I don't know much about it so this is probably incorrect, sorry)

3 words to describe you~

"Let's see, y/n is delicate, bright and tough, on the outside at least."

The flowers she gets you~     Fourth year

"Hey, y/n, can I talk to you for a second?" Hermione asked, she sounded nervous about something. 

"Sure, Hermione, what do you need?" I smiled.

Hermione's P.O.V.

There's that smile that I adore. It makes doing this 10x harder to accomplish. 

I took a deep breath and spoke. "Would you like to go to the Yule Ball with me, you know, as friends?" I mentally slapped myself for the last part. 

"I'd love to, where do you want to meet up at?" she kept on smiling.

Why do you have to make this so difficult on me y/n? "Let's just meet up at the dance okay, it'd be easier on the both of us." 

She'd kept smiling through the whole conversation. It made my heart melt, but I remembered something.

"Before you go, here," I held out my hand. 

I'd gotten two orange dahlias. I hope she liked them as much as I hope she would.

She gasped and held them carefully in her hands. "Thank you Hermione, here."

She stepped closer to me and put one of the flowers in my hair, just behind my ear. 

"There, now we can both have one," she said as she stuck the remaining one in her hair as well. "I'm sorry, but I must get going if I want to get to class on time. I'll see you around Hermione."

"Yeah, see you around," I was left standing there. 

I can't wait until Yule Ball rolls around.

Valentine's Day~

Her: If you'd ask her, the most memorable Valentine's day was the first one you spent together as a couple. 5th year, she'd gotten the Room of Requirement all to the two of you and she made an indoor picnic for the both of you. 

You: You'd always give her a stuffed animal
