Sorry guys! I haven't updated for a while because I was on holiday! This chapter is a bit short, but I hope you enjoy it! I plan to write more regularly now!

She looked around to see if anyone was coming, then mumbled,

“I’m not going to tell Draco.”

I was surprised.

“What? Why?”

She shook her head,
