(GUYSSS IM BACK AFTER SO LONGGGG I MISSED THIS 🤭🤭)

Charlotte decided she was finally going to the great hall to eat. She just wouldn't sit with them. She knew it would be hurting her brother the second she decides to not sit with them, but it hurt her that they have been hiding a huge secret from her and hadn't even decided to tell her soon. She had to find out by herself.

Astoria has been talking to Adrian though, and she had been telling her that he was okay just sad. Also that he had told her that they just had a big "argument". Thank goodness she doesn't know the truth. Charlotte had told her that because of the argument was the reason she didn't want to come out of her dorm.

Letting out a breath, she opened the doors to the great hall, already knowing they were sat where they usually were. She could feel them looking at her, her smiling at Astoria as she walked towards her, sitting at the far corner of the table. She didn't even trust that they weren't listening to them talk right now.

"I'm exhausted." Astoria said, letting out a groan. "I really need my own private dorm. My roommate is getting super annoying." Charlotte chuckled.

"Maybe we could talk to the head office so they could change us to the same dorm", Astoria nodded excitedly at her words, "like that I don't have to be in the same one fucking Parkinson is in."

"Yes! But how will we even convince them to do that." She knew the others were listening, so she took out her wand under the table, casting a muffliato spell around the both of them.

She knew that would make them think she's telling Astoria what they are, but of course she wouldn't.

"I'll just go in his office and ask him nicely. The worst that can happen is him saying no and I just know he won't." Astoria smiled, sighing.

"Oh my god that would be such a relief! I wouldn't have nights of restless sleep." She nodded, seeing them all stare in slight panic from the corner of her eye.

Draco wasn't though. He looked calm, not letting anyone know what he was actually feeling. He had still been hanging out with them, no one knowing that him and Charlotte are more than just enemies and feed into their desires. After this, he just knows she'll never even want to get close to him. He secretly hopes he's wrong.

Removing the spell from around them, both Charlotte and Astoria stood up, making their way out of the great hall. They had to pass by them to leave, her acting as if they weren't there and just walking out.

They were freaking out. There was no way she actually told Astoria. They all knew Astoria wouldn't even be freaked out only astonished. Which meant she could know their secret right now and they don't even know it.

"Im sorry for not going it's just", Charlotte sighed, explaining to Cedric why she couldn't go out with him the other day.

"I was so tired I accidentally fell asleep for a while and the time moved too fast. I'm sorry." Even though she wasn't interested in him, she knew she owed him an explanation. But clearly she couldn't tell him that she was riding Draco's thigh so she just made up a lie.

Cedric hummed, eyeing her. "You just lost yourself a date and many more that were going to come." He said, Charlotte holding back a roll of her eyes. She hated how he acted as if he was the best person out there.

"Mhm." She said, just moving past him and leaving making him stop talking. Going to the library, she thought about how the hell she was going to convince Dumbledore to let her and Astoria share a dorm room.

Looking around the shelves, she grabbed one called 'Warcross' reading the back of it and getting interested. She turned around, bumping into someone.

She was about to apologize until she noticed who it was. "Stalking me now, Malfoy?" He didn't respond, his face serious as she rolled her eyes trying to pass by him. She didn't know why she wasn't scared, maybe it was because he actually showed her he would never hurt her. And she believed it.

He grazed her waist, putting an arm around it and pushing her back so she was facing him.

"Did you tell Astoria what we were?" She scoffed, crossing her arms as she looked up at him. "Why? Did Adrian send you here to ask me if she's scared of him now?" She looked him up and down. She was now more mad than scared that if she wouldn't have found out herself, she would've never even been told the truth.

"Didn't really take you as a little bitch who does whatever he asks you to." He had to hold himself back from silencing her with his lips. He missed her touch too fucking much for his liking.

"Maybe if you would've answered nicely I would've made Dumbledore let you and Astoria be dorm mates." He shrugged. "But I guess not."

"How do you even know that?" His eyes darkened, watching her eyebrows furrow.

"I know you. More than you'll ever think." It was true. One peek of her mind, or anyones really, and he could see every single thought he wanted to. She stayed quiet, groaning as she watched him back up and leave, knowing Dumbledore wouldn't even try to fight back or disagree if Draco would compel him.

"Wait!" She whisper shouted, knowing she was in a library and he would've either way heard her if she whispered it lowly. He stopped, her getting closer to him.

"I need you to tell Dumbledore to change us. You know- compel him or whatever." He rose a brow. "That's not a nice way to ask for something." She clenched her jaw, sighing.

"Please?" He tried to hold back a grin but failed, bending down slightly so their faces were inches apart. She tried to move back but she couldn't, her body not wanting to.

"And what do I get out of this, hm?" She gulped, his words ringing in her ears. "What do you want?"

"For you not to be afraid of me." She looked down at his lips for a split second, looking back up into his eyes before scoffing and moving back.

"Fine I won't." She shrugged. "I mean I know you're desperate as fuck for me to talk to you again so I'll give that to you." She bumped her shoulder into him as she passed by, leaving him standing there.

Now there was no way he wasn't going to do what she wanted.
