you are my secret -a forbidden love story ✔︎

𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐞.

At breakfast/Ginny's POV:

"Fake it 'til you make it"

I was on my way to our table when Hermione waved me to a corner of the great hall.

"Gin, don't be mad at me for leaving you alone at the dormitory. I went to the lake because I needed some time for myself. I know this apologize sounds poor, but everything is going to make sense for you soon. I really can't tell you yet, okay?" She looked at me with a puppy-like face, so I obviously couldn't be mad at her.

"Mione, everything is totally okay. My emotional range isn't like Ron's. It's no problem, trust me." I was actually relieved that she talked to me again, that's why I said this.

"Let's go to the Gryffindor table together." I already saw that Neville was staring at us weirdly.

"Yes, that's a brilliant idea. Neville is already staring at us like we stole his breakfast", she agreed with me.

As we sat down, I watched how Hermione and Malfoy were holding particular intense eye contact for maybe a second because Hermione turned around to me quickly. Why did she want to avoid eye contact with him? I mean they are project partners and friends since yesterday.

"Guys, have you already started your projects yet?", she asked with a faked interested undertone.

"Blaise and mines is going to turn out like shit", I answered shortly, because we didn't even talked since we decided to work together.

"Uhm well, Luna and mine is hopefully not", Neville's face turned red as he saw that Luna was entering the hall.

"Oh, you two are a lovely couple!" Hermione was still trying to avoid looking at Malfoy's piercing eyes.

In the next moment, Luna came to our table, gave Neville a soft kiss on his cheek and grinned at Hermione: "Hey Mione! How was your however-you-want-to-call-it with Draco? I was just wondering if you have seen him staring at you. He looks quite interested in you. What do you think about it, Ginny?"

"Ugh, well. I think he's engaged with Astoria anyway and Hermione has Ron", I shrugged. How was I suppose to not tell them about Malfoy's feelings for her?

"You are totally right", Hermione emphasized the word "totally" to make sure everyone understood her correctly.

"Whatever, I'll return to our house's table. See you later, my friends." Luna left with giving Neville a tight hug.

We started eating some toast and drank some pumpkin juice. Then an owl flew to Hermione, bringing a letter to her and to me. They were from Harry. Hermione put her letter away quickly while I was reading mine:

Hey Gin,
We haven't talked in a while, have we? I miss you so much that words could never describe. Auror training is very hard, but better than going to school and listening to some annoying teachers and hearing Moaning Myrtle cry from the bathroom. I miss hugging you. I miss having deep talks with you. I miss seeing you every day. Will you stay at the Burrow for Christmas? I know we only have October, but if, I want to already look forward to it because I miss you soooooo much!

Yours,
Harry James Potter xx
(PS: Are Neville and Luna finally together? I hope so!)

I couldn't help blushing. Why does he have to be so cute? I miss him too though he could really have put himself together and come back to Hogwarts. I love this idiot. Okay, back to Hermione. What was she hiding? And why was she hiding it?

Hello people!
This is chapter nine. I hope you didn't mind having some hinny action at the end. I just felt like wanting to have some too. What do you think will happen next? What was Hermione hiding?
Stay tuned and you'll find out soon :)
