Amortentia | Draco Malfoy

12. the truth

"I expect you'll bring Malfoy"

『••✎••』

the truth wasn't easy for Hermione to know

she felt like she couldn't talk about it with anyone

Ron was not an option, he would panic and wouldn't get anything out of it anyways

Harry wasn't an option either, that school year has already been chaotic enough between the two of you

she didn't know how Malfoy had you under his control but it was an easy guess

it must have been a love potion

suddenly you were in love with him as if you didn't hate him till two minutes before

she also could guess that if it was a task from Lord Voldemort himself he didn't use a love potion that you could buy at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes

it must have been something more powerful

Hermione kept looking through the pages of the book on her lap

<good morning>

Harry said as he sat next to her

the boy looked at his friend as she didn't answer then down at the book on her thighs

<Slughorn is already satisfied enough with you, you know?>

the boy brought a cup of juice up to his lips

Hermione looked up at him

<good morning>

she just said before focusing on the pages again

Harry sighed and focused on eating his breakfast

on the other side of the Great Hall, you had just put your hand on Draco's knee bringing him back to reality

<you got lost in your thoughts again>

you chuckled and caressed his knee from over the fabric of his pants with your thumb

<yeah, were you saying something?>

Draco asked snapping back to reality, you looked over at the entrance of the hall as you heard Seamus Finnigan say

<I'm counting on you, Ron. I have two Galleons on Gryffindor, yeah?>

many people in the room paid attention to Ron's entrance, you also heard Goyle comment

<loser. what's he wearing?>

you directed him a death glare before getting up from your seat and going to the Gryffindor table

as you approached you heard Ron asking Hermione how was the party at Slughorn's

you decided to get in between the conversation before the other girl could answer
