Chapter 26.2 A fragmentary Passage~: Complicated Feelings

Hermione Granger POV

After Yozora left I decided to go to my bedroom to recuperate some mental energy after my mother's unstoppable teasing and my father's stiff face every time either she or Mr. Lee teased us. I know that while my father has a favorable impression of Yozora even though he is…peculiar to say the least, I think that he acts that way because he doesn't want that a "punk" steals his baby daughter from him.

I started to change into more comfortable clothes to stay at home, while I must admit that I never really care about fashion or what other of my female classmates would call "girlish" or "cute" this time though I wanted to look more…appealing to the eye, but this kind of clothes felt stiffer than I more use to.

While changing my clothes I couldn't help but smile looking at the necklace that Yozora gave me or Wayfinder like Yozora gave me before leaving Hogwarts. Purple has been always my favorite I think that I mention it to him once or twice, but it made me happy that he remembers it...

My face started to feel hotter after realizing something. "How could I be so stupid!" I buried my hands in my face. "Now he would think that I am a weirdo."

I went to my bed and lay on it while steering at the ceiling.

When I first meet him if I must be honest, I thought that he was immature and …. Eccentric, well I still think that he is eccentric but not in a bad way. After I got to know him better, I realized how many things we had in common, especially our love for books, he is the first one I have met in my age group that shared the same love for them, and with that shared interest we quickly became friends…my first male friend. But different from me he didn't have problems socializing with other people, hence he doesn't really get close to every person that he talks with, he at the very least he is on good terms with most of the students besides most of the students of his house, except for Blaise, Tracey, and Daphne, it also helped that most of the female students think that he is…appealing to the eye.

Thinking about his physical appearance made me remember his almond-shaped eyes with long black eyelashes that remarked his deep purple amethyst like-eyes. His healthy white skin which makes contrasts with his obsidian-colored hair. He is very tall if I remember correctly, he was the tallest of the boys in our year when I was at Hogwarts and according to Harry and Neville, he is very fit behind his clothes. Harry said that looked like some action movie stars that he had seen when his…family wasn't in the house and Neville said that he didn't know that there were that many muscles in the body.

// A/N: Just to be clear, Yozora's current physique is not overly muscular because of his age, and he uses Akisame's way to train muscles, so he is more on the compact side. If I must give a comparison, it would be similar to Killua's physique but with a little more muscle. And for the dead God of DXD's sake he would not have a "swimmers' body", nothing against that kind of body or any if I have to be honest, but I don't know about you guys, but I am kind of bored of that description with MC in most of out there. //

I couldn't help but blush once more imagining how he looked without a shirt. But also, I couldn't help but feel complicated about these kinds of thoughts. I knew that this was just a biological reaction because of my hormonal changes because I am going through puberty. But the thing is that I just get this sort of feeling when I think about him, even if in Hogwarts were handsome people like that Third year Hufflepuff student Cedric Digory and in Beauxbatons there was a fair share amount of good-looking students, while I can appreciate that they are good looking is just not the same.

At first, I thought that it was because I feel closer to him. After all, he is my first male friend, so it was normal to feel that way, but after getting along with more boys I realized that was not the case. Even more when I saw him being close with his other female friends, especially with Daphne, she may be the most expressionless person I ever met but it wasn't a secret to anyone that she is interested in Yozora and from what Harry has told me even Ron noticed this, so it was pretty evident which made me more confused in why she was "rooting" for me. I don't know if that is the case with Tracey since she is very friendly with everyone.

Every time I saw them being that close to him, I feel a light pinch in my heart, and I feel awful about it since I consider both of them my friends. But I can't help but feel insecure as I am not as pretty and thoughtful as Daphne nor cheerful and confident as Tracey.

I don't know how to feel about this, since I don't want to risk losing my best friend expressing how I feel or losing my friendship with Daphne and Tracey.

But…

I hold the Wayfinder while remembering him.

How silly he is when he quotes things that nobody but him understands.

The smile on his face when he sees the expression of people enjoying his food.

How he looks while reading a book that he finds interesting.

The sight of him defending me from the troll.

When he got angry at Dumbledore's actions on my behalf.

How thoughtful he is.

The feeling of him hugging me before I left Hogwarts.

A sigh leaves my mouth after all these thoughts. "Feelings are complicated, aren't they?" I said to no one since I was alone.

I look at my nightstand where there was the book that Daphne gifted me on my last day at Hogwarts. Admittedly as much as I wanted to read this book, I didn't have much time to read it since after my transfer to Beauxbatons I didn't have much free time, as I needed to practice my French since I was a little bit out of practice along with getting used to a different country and with all the homework and studying I just had a little bit of free time to read it.

I decided to read to distract myself from my current thoughts. This book described most of the customs that wizards and witches from all castes practice and it also includes many of the ones that Noble families practice. While I find interesting the cultural difference between the magical community and the "muggle". I didn't understand why she wanted me to read this book, not that I wouldn't if I must be honest since this knowledge is very useful for me since I still don't know much of what is "normal" in the magical society.

As I keep reading the book, I got into a chapter that explained marriage in their society and how it was common practice between nobles to have arranged marriages something that I personally didn't like and think that is an awful practice., but I decided to continue in the chapter until I found a part that was underlined and as I read it for the 10th time of the day my face became as red as how the philosopher stone was described.

"I don't know if I should be surprised or scared of how far Daphne was thinking in the future," I said in a low voice just in case, so my parents won't hear me.

Hence this would explain the last words she said to me in Hogwarts. This part of the chapter described the case that there was a sole survivor of the family, he or she has the right to marry more than one person to… ensure the survival of the bloodline.

"So, this means that in the future we could be all toge- no, no, no, this is highly immoral my parents would never allow this kind of relationship…. What I am saying! I'm too young to be thinking in marriage!"

Unknowingly to Hermione, a certain god was laughing his ass off while watching her having an existential crisis.

............…

Hello niece and nephew I hope you enjoyed this special chapter.

So, as you may have noticed there are a lot of references to Kingdom Hearts in this FF so it was kind of obvious that I was going to make a .2 or .5 chapter hahaha.

So I decided that from time to time I will make this .2 to complement the story from the perspective of another character, mainly waifus or potential waifus I am not going to lie so I can complement the little bit the chapters without compromising the structure of the whole chapter. And maybe in the future make the .5 to use it as a kind of interlude but we'll see that in the future.

Something I wanted to talk about with you in this "chapter" is Hermione's perspective on his relationship with the MC. For starters, we all can agree that Hermione for starts is a complete newbie when it comes to social interaction right? So she is having a hard time sort of her feeling for Yozora and the fact that she for the most of her life was ostracized by the boys and girls of her age before Hogwarts doesn't help too much. And most importantly she is a girl who is starting her teenage years, so don't be hard on the poor girl. And why Daphne is taking this in a more "serious" perspective, remember that she is also an heir of an old house so she was raised in the "Nobility" and other reason that will be explained in the future but she really likes Yozora.

By the way, what kind of voice do you imagine Yozora? I mean I don't know about you guys but whenever I read a book, manga, ff, etc I kinda have a mental voice for each character. For example, if he was already 16 I would use the voice of Dylan Sprouse like in KH3 and for Japanese I would use the voice of Mamoru Miyano, the voice actor of Light Yagami, who also is the voice of Riku in the Japanese version of KH hahaha.

So, with anything else to say, thanks for reading this chapter, if you like this ff so far please leave a review, it will help me a lot, so more people start reading it. Also, leave a comment with your thoughts on this chapter and the ff in general, and maybe drop a stone or two hahaha (I promise that I will not smoke them…this time.)

See you again in the next chapter.
