THE ALGORITHM
Chapter 72 is up 😍
HAPPY READING ❤️
Suddenly, the heavy door to her office swung open. Instinctively, her hand went to grab her wand, but she wasn't entirely successful because Draco Malfoy strode in, his face a mask of anger. His presence filled the room.
Hermione stiffened, her heart sinking as she sensed his anger before she even looked up. How did he even know she was working late? Then it made sense, Brenda would've mentioned it to Michael in front of the others before they left to grab a beer.
Brenda had retired for the day, so there was no one handling the front of her office to save her, not that she needed saving since she was quite capable of looking after herself, but just in the unlikely event, Malfoy became violent. Again, not that he would ever hurt her.
She was shocked to her core to see him. She had assumed he would be busy or celebrating with the others.
Draco hissed, his voice cold, “Granger.” The rest of the Aurors and Potter had headed out to have a few drinks, but he had chosen to stay back and confront his fiancé. It was pure luck that she was working late. It fit perfectly into his plans.
Hermione forced herself to meet his gaze, her tone cautious, “Malfoy.” She reached for her wand, but a mere flick of the wrist from Draco had it flying across the room.
She was indignant and watched it land safely on the sofa with a mask of disapproval on her face.
Draco's eyes were dark, his jaw clenched as he advanced towards her, his expression unreadable.
He said in a low voice, “You know, I never thought I'd see the day when Hermione Granger, the brightest witch of her age, would stoop to such... cruelty.”
