#don’t you know it already
A Masquerade of Body and Soul
She’s here to escape the reality, to break the rules.
Because all rules have only given her, is false hope.
He’s there for the catch of the night.
And while he finds himself smirking, smiling at the unforeseen turn of event, he wonders if truly Hermione Granger is flirting in a room full of witnesses with none other than himself - the infamous Draco Malfoy.
It’s the red dress and the flowers - a crown of red lotus and peonies atop her head.
It’s a dry martini, a choice he finds himself intrigued by, and the way she twists the stem of the glass around in her small fingers.
She turns her head and her eyes meet his.
Once is a coincidence.
Twice is curiosity.
Three times, it’s an invitation to come over.
Four times shows impatience - the fourth time certifies ending the night in bed together and everybody knows it.
