you are my secret -a forbidden love story ✔︎

𝐟𝗼𝐮𝐫.

Hermione's POV:

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end"

Okay, there is going to be a project to round up our grades. Of course, I'll join it. But I need to look for a fitting partner. I could ask Zabini, Ginny told me he was quite friendly.

"Hey Guys, shall I ask Zabini to be my partner?", I asked my friends at the table.

But Ginny said: "Oh I planned to work with Zabini too, you know."

Okay, this means I can't ask Zabini anymore. But who can I ask then? I barely hang out with anyone than the Gryffindors...

After the feast
So, as I see, almost everyone has a partner already. Who shall I ask now? I was deeply sunk in my thoughts when somebody prods my shoulder. When I turned around, I was shocked.
It was Malfoy who stand in front of me, his face was horrifyingly near to mine, and asked me:
"Uhm...I reckon we are the ones that don't have a partner yet? Well, I could use some help from the brightest witch of our age anyway and you could enjoy some beautiful hours with me, which means we both could profit from each other.", Ugh, he wears this cocky smile again. "Trust me, Granger. You won't regret working with me."

Ugh, bloody hell, now I have to choose between don't do school work and working with my enemy. I can't don't do this school work, so I'll work with him.

"Okay, I'll work with you. But we'll have rules:

1) don't disturb me during working on the project

2) don't piss me off or I'll throw a hex on you

3) you'll have to work on the project too, I won't let you make me do all the work.", I said.

"These rules won't be hard to follow, Granger. I won't break any of these rules, pinky promise"
Did he really come up with a pinky promise?

"Ugh okay, pinky promise."

He smirked and held eye contact with me for an incredible long feeling amount of time. If I wouldn't be happy with Ron, I would totally fall for him. Wait, why do I even think about this?

Before I could say anything else, he went away and said: "I'm already looking forward to working with you. You won't regret this. See you soon."

"Yeah, see you soon, I guess."

After this weird conversation, I went back to our dormitory and laid on my bed for a long time. Why is he so polite to me? Did he take a potion by accident or what the bloody hell was going on with him? Whatever my thoughts were interrupted by me noticing I haven't written a letter to Ron and Harry yet. So I took my new quill and a piece of parchment paper and started writing:

Dear Ron, dear Harry,
How are you doing? How was your day? I already miss you both so much! You can't believe what happened today: we are able to work on a project to round our grades up! This means I'll have a bigger chance to get an O in every subject! I'm so happy right now! I also wanted to ask you again why you don't want to return to Hogwarts again. I have a strong feeling that this year will be amazing!

Yours sincerely,
Hermione Jean Granger

I decided to not tell them about Malfoy because I don't want to make Ron angry or anything else. But it's really weird. Why would he be so nice to me? And why is he so charming?

So, that's chapter four already! You are probably waiting for all the dramione action, but I promise you: your waiting will be paid out :))
