you are my secret -a forbidden love story ✔︎

After breakfast/Hermione's POV

"My heart says 'yes', but my brain says 'no'"

I obviously couldn't show my friends Harry's letter because they'd find out about my feelings for Draco this way. That's why I was hiding in Moaning Myrtle's toilet when I carefully opened the envelope and started reading.

Hello Mione,
Auror's training is fun. Sometimes I have to motivate Ron to don't give up, but there's nothing else to complain about. Now to your 'problem'. I'm actually not that surprised, because you had a huge crush on him years ago, you remember? Ron's gonna be mad if he hears about this, but he definitely won't hear this from me. The thing is, I'm not sure how to help you, Hermione. Let me tell you one thing: sometimes you have to decide between what's right and what's easy. That's the only advice I can give. Nevertheless, I keep wondering if you and Ron have talked to each other since your last letter. I hate to say this, but I get the feeling you are drifting apart slowly :/
Have a nice day,
Harry James Potter

(PS: I never farted in DADA. It was Ron. Really.)

Ugh, bloody hell. He isn't helping me at all. Why do I love two guys? I don't want to decide between them. They are both fantastic guys. Wait, Hermione, you don't even have to decide between them. Draco and you are only friends and he's engaged with Astoria anyway. And Ron is such a perfect, handsome, supportive guy. Do deductive reasoning now, the only and best option is Ron. Yes, I'll stay with Ron.

"Hello Hermione, never expected to meet you here again", a familiar voice said. It was Myrtle.

"Good morning, Myrtle", I didn't want to begin a conversation with her. She's just so annoying. I left with saying goodbye to her and started looking around for my friends.

But the only two people I could see in the deserted hall were just the two people I didn't want to see: Draco and this Greengrass girl cuddling. Inexplicably, I felt how my heart was shattering into many small pieces. I just couldn't see them together. It was like all the jealousy in my body started to rise in me. The frustrating thing was that I wasn't even supposed to be jealous. We were never more than friends. That's the thing: we are just friends. However, I couldn't cope with the kisses Astoria gave Draco. I couldn't cope with the looks she gave him. I could cope with her being with Draco.

At the moment I wanted to run away, Draco saw me and stood up. He gave me an almost apologetic look and shouted: "Hermione!"

Instead of answering him, I ran away to the dormitory. Tears were running down from my eyes.  I felt that he was running behind me, but I just couldn't talk to him now. I had no reason to be jealous. Engaged people just behave like this, don't they? In addition to this, I'm still with Ron who is drifting away from me. All I want is to be alone right now and cry. That's it. Why does life have to be so hard? As I stopped sobbing I was already in our common room where everybody was staring at me.

"Sometimes, you have to decide between what's right and what's easy."

But there's one thing I want to point out: Writing is NOT about getting reads and become popular, it's about sharing your passion with others. Don't get me wrong, I'm always happy to see the rankings and reads, it's really amazing. But don't make it the reason you want to write stories. xx
