Shattered | Hermione x Draco

Secret Lovers

I don't remember how I got back to the tower, but I was floating. He fucked me right into heaven. That boy is trouble and I like it. For the first time in a week I fall asleep within seconds, my head hits the pillow and I am sucked into a black dreamless sleep.

I wake up late and have to rush to the Great Hall for breakfast. I don't even look where I sit, I just go to my normal place. As I start preparing my toast I look up. Harry is looking between me and Ron. I narrow my eyes at Ron but ignore him, even if the bruises are gone, I still know what he did and what he said. For that, I won't forgive him.

Harry remains silent but keeps watching us during breakfast. I have nothing to say to them so I focus on my toast and preparing my tea. As I look up and take a bite I search for my favourite colored eyes. Sometimes grey, sometimes like liquid silver and now I know how little you see of the color when he comes, his dilated pupil taking over.

I find him already staring at me, a smirk playing on his lips. Is he thinking about last night, just like I am? His body rocking against mine. I gasp at the sensitive tingling between my legs, a physical memory of last night. A smile is trying to break through, but I fight it. Our little secret.

I look around the table. Harry, absolutely a virgin, too shy to do anything. Ron, no question about it, he would be bragging about it. Neville, very sweet, but I have never seen him with a girlfriend, but that doesn't mean anything. Who would have thought him to be a weed grower? The Twins? Oh they have had sex, you just get that feeling when you see them. They are so comfortable and they literally can't stop flirting with every female they meet, sometimes they even flirt with the boys. Ginny is the same, always looking at boys, waggling her eyebrows.

I eat my toast and look over the other tables when I hear Ron's voice.

"She's doing it for attention. I didn't do anything wrong, she is trying to set everyone against me. I was just saying out loud what everyone was thinking," he scoffs.

"I don't know, I don't see her like that. She is nice, she helped me when I got lost in the castle," a younger boy argues.

"It is all a game. She wants you to think she is good, but she is full of shit. She is making everyone believe in her, that she is just a little know it all, obsessed with getting compliments of Professors and reading books. But I know she is plotting something and I am going to find out what it is," he ends with a hiss.

I pretend that I don't hear him and focus on my toast. My appetite is gone and I push my plate away. Harry frowns, I stand and quickly walk out of the Great Hall. Ron is up to something.

I don't look where I am walking and crash into something big, I stumble back and catch the wall to keep myself from falling. I look up into very dark eyes, it is the first time that I see them from so up close. "Sorry, didn't see you there," I begin as I look him up and down. "Professor," I add.

We are in the hallway I note as I look around.

"Miss Granger," he begins in his usual drawling voice. "Why don't you look ahead instead of walking around... Like a chicken without its head."

"Well sorry for having a lot on my mind," I snap without thinking. "I have school, working twice as hard as others to prove myself, Ron is secretly plotting against me, even laid hands on me last night, but people just ignore it. Harry always gets into trouble and I am the one staying up all night to read stupid books about dragons to make sure he doesn't die. Don't you think I wouldn't rather read a nice adventure book? With all due respect, Professor, you could also watch where you walk," I sneer and walk away from him.

"Miss Granger," he calls after me.

I whirl around. "What?"

"Detention this afternoon. Take your potion kit with you, 10 points from Gryffindor" he says and walks away, his robes bellowing behind him.
