Tuesday was a long day for Y/N. He had woken up sore and tired following the events of the previous afternoon. Hermione had snuck back to her dorm and he had woken the boys up at half 7 before heading down to breakfast. After breakfast Y/N and Hermione had Arithmancy and Divination, they set out early and sat through an enjoyable Arithmancy lesson before time turning and being the first to arrive at Divination.

Hermione scowled as they sat at a table, grumbling to herself about the ridiculousness of the cauldrons on the desks that had fog seeping from them, no doubt to add to the 'mysterious' atmosphere Trelawney wanted to create. Y/N smiled at his girlfriend:

"I know you hate it babe, and so do I frankly, but just look at it as an intellectual challenge. People think they use these methods to divine the future, maybe try to examine it rigourously? At least until we get to Crystal Balls next term and hopefully she can actually help me develop my visions?" Y/N pleaded to Hermione as took their seats.

Hermione agreed, she knew it was important for Y/N to learn how to better control his Seer abilities. She would bite her tongue and endure for him. It didn't make the class any easier, though. Y/N was just trying to hold out until they got to Crystal Balls in second term. After this they had relatively easy lessons in Transfiguration and Charms before Y/N had to go to History of Magic to catch up the day before.

"Just wait out here ten minutes guys and we will go the library ok?" Y/N had smiled at his three friends and girlfriend. They smiled but Hermione kissed him, she knew what he was doing.

Ron made a comment about not going to war and Lavender giggled at it before Y/N walked in. He exited about five minutes later but looked exhausted.

"Rough five minutes Y/N?" Harry joked as Ron laughed. Y/N nodded and chuckled but Hermione took hold of his hand- he and Rowan had just gone through a two hour Magical Theory and another two hour Ancient Studies lesson before Y/N used the time turner. Given the Arithmancy/Divination lesson it was now 9:00pm for him and he had been up for 16 hours. He spoke directly to Hermione's mind:

Time travel's a bitch

Hermione giggled at her boyfriend as they went to the library.

Wednesday was slightly easier with just two 'doubles' in the afternoon with the four electives but having Hermione with him definitely made it easier.

Thursday was the same with the exception being Care for Magical Creatures. Hagrid was still upset about the previous week and they were studying Flubberworms, watching the creatures hop up and down on the spot.

Y/N had an easier Thursday night session with Charlie. She just asked how he felt about Monday and wrote down his answers. She made him promise to talk about the boggart the following week but she let it go this week as Y/N was exhausted.

Friday was a tough day. The morning consisted of double Potions and therefore double Alchemy for Y/N. Ron had cottoned on slightly:

"Every lesson he takes you into his office, Y/N, and you come out a couple of minutes later looking tired."

Y/N laughed at the red head. "Well spotted. It's just about Alchemy, Ron. He gives me the week's reading and what work I have to do."

In reality Y/N had just had an hour lecture before attempting to turn base matter into other substances. It was a difficult and very advanced subject but Y/N enjoyed the challenge. This was followed by lunch and then a rather simple Defence Against the Dark Arts double lesson. It was another practical but they were learning Cave Inimicum.

Y/N had successfully cast this over the summer to protect Hermione's house and she had learnt it from the books Y/N had her read while he was incarcerated. Both successfully demonstrated the spell at the start of the double so Lupin allowed them to go to the library and work on other assignments while the rest of the class learnt the protective spell.

Y/N and Hermione appreciated this, Hermione had a massive workload and even she shuddered at the pile of texts Y/N was reading through, just for his first Magical Theory assignment.

They had stayed in the library from 1:15 when they arrived until 5:00 when they went for dinner in the great hall. Following this they had a three hour Muggle Studies class and a three hour Astronomy class.

They had decided to sleep together in the room of requirement and went there straight after Astronomy, falling into bed at 11:05pm. There was no fooling around tonight. They had a quick kiss and cuddled and both were soon asleep.

Saturday was somewhat more relaxing. After a morning workout and then sharing breakfast together Hermione headed to the library with Lavender while Y/N went to his meeting time with Snape.

"So what changed your mind about these sessions, Sev?" Y/N asked him. He had requested the Potions Master tutor him in dark spells that Severus had created, but the potions master had previously refused.

"I refused because I felt you were under enough pressure with your workload. However, if others are so keen to throw you into harms way, then I want you to be as well equipped as possible. I will be teaching you a curse today Y/N. A very dark curse of my own creation which if inflicted on a person will cause them to painfully bleed out if the counter curse isn't administered. They are Sectumsempra and Vulnera Sanentur. You must teach no one this and promise me to only use it when it is necessary."

"I promise Sev" Y/N smiled.

Y/N and Hermione met up again at lunch. After this Hermione demanded no more work for the day, they were to have couple only time. Y/N didn't argue. They went alone to the Black Lake where they sat for hours, going back and forth between making out, cuddling and just talking, enjoying each other's company. After dinner they had returned to the common room and just sat and talked with their friends before finally retiring to bed. Although they both could have got more work done they enjoyed having a day off to unwind and recharge their batteries.
