FORBIDDEN FEELINGS

Chapter 12- Strange Tutor Session with Malfoy

A few weeks pass and now it's the middle of October which means me and Malfoy's tutoring is back on every Tuesday. It's Monday night and I've just sent off my letter to my mom telling her what Halloween costume I want. It's going to be so good. As a friendship group, we've agreed that we're not telling each other what we're wearing as it's going to be a surprise.

We are lying in bed as it's late and Hermione says "Ron's been acting really strange recently"

"In what way?" I ask, curiously.

"He's just always around me and when he speaks to me, he always messes up. Like he's never like this"

"Oooo. Someone has a crush on you" I love teasing her.

"Don't be ridiculous! He's like a brother to me"

"Maybe to you, but to him you're girlfriend material"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Mikey still acts like that and we're 7 months into a relationship"

"Do you miss Mikey?"

"I do. Like a lot. But he's just really clingy. Like I love him. I love him to bits. But sometimes it gets pretty annoying. It's quite nice to have a break from him for a bit"

"Understandable. I've never had a boyfriend before"

"What! No way"

"I haven't even had my first kiss"

"Stop! I don't believe it. Hermione Granger? A kiss virgin?" this causes her to laugh.

"Indeed"

"Oh my God, one day we need to play spin the bottle"

"What's that?"

"You've never played spin the bottle?"

"Never. I have been at Hogwarts since I was 10. That's clearly a Muggle game"

"We literally play it at every party. Basically, everyone sits in a circle and you place an empty beer bottle on its side in the middle. The person who spins it has to kiss whoever it lands on"

"I'm not doing that!"

"No, it's so fun, you don't understand!"

"Doubt that. Anyway, we better get to sleep, you have tutoring tomorrow, remember"

"Brilliant" I say sarcastically.

My eyes start to shut.

The next day is pretty boring. Nothing that exciting really happens. After dinner I head to the tutoring room. I'm pretty nervous for some reason. I'm never really this nervous in any situation.

I get to the classroom, but the door is already open. I walk in and there's multiple lamps in the room and Malfoy is there with the classroom set up. Aw it's kind of cute how he got here early to set it all up. He turns around, noticing I'm here.

"Late once again, Carter. Is this going to be a re-occurring thing? Or are you going to actually start caring about your education?"

I laugh "You sound like my dad"

He scoffs and takes off his jumper so he's standing there in a shirt, "Let's get this over and done with then"

We spend ten minutes recapping potions and he suggests that we move on to actually controlling my powers. He searches his bag and pulls out an apple. He places it on a stool on the other side of the room and tells me to lift the apple whilst saying "Wingardium Leviosa" I did as he asked but the apple just wouldn't move.

He sighs and says "Let me help you"

He walks up behind me and I can feel his warm body against mine. I can also feel his breath tickling the back of my neck. His head leans upon my right shoulder as he places his left hand around my waist to pull me closer to him. Why am I sweating? His right hand slowly strokes up my arm and he grabs my hand which I'm holding the wand with. He whispers "Swish and flick" as he guides my hand and I say "Wingardium Leviosa". The apple starts lifting from the stool which causes me to lean forwards in shock and my ass accidentally touches his groin. I feel something hard brush against my back and the apple suddenly drops causing me to jump.

Malfoy pushes me off him and as I turn around, he's grabbing his bag and jumper whilst leaving the room. Why is he leaving so suddenly? What was that? I hope it was something in his pocket. Please let it be something in his pocket. I stand there in shock, staring at the door. What just happened?
