Chapter 83
Prompt: It's just a kiss
She choked back the bile rising in her throat as unfamiliar rough hands cupped her face and pulled her in for another kiss.
It’s just a kiss, all part of the mission, she repeated to herself as Cormac deepened the kiss, his tongue exploring every corner of her mouth.
Cormac had been rumored to be using the imperius curse to take advantage of muggle women and Hermione had volunteered to polyjuice herself in order to be used as bait. It was a good idea in theory, but in practice, Hermione was struggling not to panic.
So focused on her internal struggle, Hermione missed the glass shatter behind her, but it caused Cormac to pull back a moment. Cormac squinted as he looked over her shoulder. His eyebrows shot up in surprise.
“Malfoy? Is that you? What are you doing in this part of London?”
Hermione spun around to see Draco glowering at them from the other side of the bar, raw magic pouring off of him in waves. His cool silver eyes were fixed on Cormac and his entire body tight with rage.
“I’m going to need you to back away from my wife. Now.”
