For @omniluci-estumbra ‘s 30k Celebration! 🎉 Congratulations Jamie and I hope you like this small gift, even though it may be a tad bit too long!

I have a tumblr account now! Yay!

I'm still trying to understand what this is exactly but here's a link to my fanfiction, if you want to read it:

SUMMARY:

The first time was a mistake made under the bouts of a heated argument swiftly influenced by the strange splendor and magic of the night.

The second time was out of denial and the third, as a promise of abandoning the memories of the times before, all in the arithmancy class after dark.

The fourth time was a relapse. And out of curiosity. Both be damned.

The times following after were forbidden, sprinkled with stolen glances, and lingering touches, again with promises of never coming back, only to break them again and again.

After that, it was hateful, bitter, dripping of disgust, anger, resent, and… in some way, heartbreak.

The last time, however, was a way of desperation and anguish. An unvoiced call of help and of an unfair goodbye.

Unbeknownst to the world, Draco Malfoy had kissed Hermione Granger in the hidden corridors and empty classrooms of Hogwarts since their fourth year. Both pretended like it did not happen, that it could not happen. But every time, through some excuses and happenstance they kissed, a strange magic enveloped them, entrapping them with each other. And they refused to put a name to it.
