Until the End of Time (Harry Potter x Reader)

"No, I mean, everyone says that they're horrible but no one else faints when they're near. I just feel sick and embarrassed every time I think of them," said Harry.

"Kinda sounds like the Dursleys when they think of you," said Y/N, stifling her laughter.

"I'm being serious, Y/N," Harry said, slightly pushing her shoulder, the both of them trying not to laugh.

"Alright, alright," she said. "Anything else you want to get off your chest?"

Harry thought for a moment. "Whenever the Dementors are near, I hear a voice. A woman's voice, screaming. I- I think..." He trailed off on his last sentence.

Y/N knew it wasn't the time to joke.

"You think what?" she asked with a genuine and soft tone.

"It doesn't matter. It's stupid anyways."

"It does matter, and it's not going to be stupid."

"I think it was my mum," he said quietly before trying to deny what he just said. "It's stupid, I know!"

"It's not stupid," said Y/N.

"Yes it is! Nobody else hears their dying mother scream inside their head!" said Harry.

There was a small moment of silence before Harry spoke again, a lot more quieter this time, "Hey, can we talk about this later?"

"Sure," said Y/N. "So, how's that essay on werewolves going?"

"Snape can fuck off if he wants me to do that."

"If Snape's taking Defence Against the Dark Arts again, I'm going off sick," said Ron, as they walked towards Lupin's classroom. "Check who's in there, Hermione."

Hermione peered around the classroom door. "It's ok!"

Professor Lupin was back. He looked as though he had been sick but nevertheless, he smiled as the class took their seats, but once they did, there were very loud complaints to be heard about Snape.

"We don't know anything about werewolves-"

"-two rolls of parchment!"

"Did you tell Professor Snape we haven't covered them yet?" asked Lupin.

The complaints became even louder if that was even possible.

"Yes, but he said we were really behind-"

"-he wouldn't listen-"

"-two rolls of parchment!"

"Don't worry. I'll speak to Professor Snape. You don't have to do the essay," said Lupin.

"Oh no," said Hermione, looking very disappointed. "I've already finished it!"

They had a very enjoyable lesson. The class learned about Hinkypunks, little one-legged creatures who looked like they were made from smoke.

When the bell rang, everyone gathered up their things and left the classroom, but Harry was called back by Lupin.

Y/N, Ron and Hermione waited outside for him. After a few minutes, Harry stepped outside of the classroom.
