Five ways Loki makes Hermione angry.
written for the most lovely trickster_loki
1. She wondered if anyone had a proper understanding of her third year at Hogwarts. The headmaster understood to a degree, as he was the one who came up with the idea of giving the young Miss Granger a timeturner. Hermione’s double class schedule kept her quite occupied, but she rather enjoyed her extra history lessons best. She spent the majority of her free time working on a rather extensive paper about her selected deity - Loki. However, she would often notice that she would find a particularly interesting tidbit to include in her essay, the text would be gone when she would look for it again. She deduced, rather quickly, that someone perhaps didn’t like to be written about. She found that quite upsetting and wrote the paper anyway. She received the highest marks, naturally, but she noticed the ink was disappearing off the page the moment it was given back to her. Irksome wasn’t even the word for it.
2. She decided there must be a way to call upon Loki himself. Hermione spent the little bit of free time she could find during her fourth and fifth years at school digging through the resources available in the library. The answer didn’t come to her until she was at home for the summer - one of the few weeks she actually spent in her parents’ home rather than the Burrow. She was determined to find a way to meet this Loki, if he in fact existed, and ask him just why he was playing mean tricks on her when she had a paper to write. She attempted a spell she had read about, and somehow, it worked. He was dashing and delightful, able to charm her off her feet. He left just as quickly as he had appeared and once his charms were gone, she found herself quite upset yet a little infatuated.
3. She wasn’t precisely sure why she felt so inclined to summon the deity, again. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and she did need more information regarding horcruxes, for Harry’s sake. She flipped through her texts for weeks until she found the proper summoning spell, at least the one that had worked last summer. At first, she thought she had done it incorrectly as nothing happened. A few hours later, Loki appeared, as dashing and charming as ever. He said that if there had been Twinkies, then he would have arrived sooner. Hermione tried her best to be polite through gritted teeth.
4. She believed it was a dreadful idea to steal. It was one thing to borrow a few key ingredients from the potions master’s storeroom; it was quite another to make plans to steal You-Know-Who’s snake. Loki had mentioned wanting to steal the snake. He had thought this was an absolutely brilliant plan, while Hermione argued how ridiculous it would be. Stealing that snake would not be wise - especially if she wanted to be around to help Harry. Oh, but in retrospect, she wished she’d helped him and gone along with the plan. It certainly would’ve made things considerably easier in the end, assuming she didn’t get caught and/or killed in the process - which, Loki had assured her wouldn’t happen. But the fact that Loki had been onto something and she disregarded it? Oh, that left her angry beyond measure.
5. She had traveled to Australia and brought her parents back safe and sound. She sent an owl to the headmistress to schedule her N.E.W.T.’s as soon as possible. She kept busy, working on new ideas for S.P.E.W. and a new concept for goblins as well. You-Know-Who - well, now they could safely say Voldemort again, but no one really liked to - was gone, the day had been saved, and Hermione was trying her best to form some sort of life for herself. It had dull moments of nothing but study, and it was during one of those when Loki chose to appear and announce how bored he was of having nothing to do. After the year she’d had, he was bored? Oh, she was furious, to which Loki simply stated how lovely his pet was when angry.
