Slytherin!Armin x Gryffindor!HermioneFirst Year HC’s
Note
Feel free to write any of your own Armin x Black Hermione fics🥺 I’d love to read them!

  • Armin comes from a long line of German pure bloods, but is the first half-blood so he went to Hogwarts instead of Durmstrang
  • Eren was his childhood best friend, because he too is a shunned half blood with a neaveux rich father who used to be married to a high society pure blood, but married a muggle (Eren’s mom) in his second marriage
  • Armin secretly makes friends with Hermione because he doesn’t like to see someone so smart and talented (and so useful) be made fun of
  • She’s skeptical of his offer of friendship but grows to respect his equal prowess in the classroom, so they start studying together in secret
  • Academic rivals... half in fun, half in utter seriousness- almost to death really
  • As they study and hang out, they start to find each other’s company actually appealing, and Armin stops seeing her for her usefulness and Hermione stops keeping a firm respectful line between them
  • Armin has his trio: him, Gryffindor! Eren, and Hufflepuff! Mikasa (who falls for Eren when he stands up to Draco Malfoy for her on the train)...
  • Hermione now has her own trio, Gryffindor! Harry and Gryffindor! Ron
  • Armin’s friends know about their friendship- Hermione’s don’t... yet
  • Hermione let’s Armin in on the philosophers stone, etc. late into the school year
  • Armin ends up telling Eren and Mikasa and somehow both trios are now helping at the end of the year
  • That’s when Harry and Ron learn about Hermione and Armin’s friendship but have to get over it fast to get through the obstacles and by the end, they begrudgingly respect Armin and the Armione friendship
  • Tied for best grades and they are exited about it- inwardly and outwardly- however they both secretly make a promise to themselves to do better than the other next year
  • Write very long, detailed letters to each other over the summer about things they’ve learned and experienced and of course... book recommendations!!!
