in between the silence – a dramione twilight au
chapter 2/9 | phenomenon
“‘The Secrecy of Knowledge and Power in Frankenstein?’” Draco read the title of her essay, and Hermione pressed her palms flat against the desk to keep from shoving the paper back in her bag. “Is the preservation of knowledge something you frown upon?”
She wasn’t going to dignify him with a response. Not now, not the next day, and certainly not any day after. But then Draco shifted ever so slightly closer, and she could smell a rather autumnal mix of apples and cedar spilling off him in waves. It shouldn’t have made her tilt her head in his direction and raise an eyebrow, inviting further conversation.
“Well?” He nearly forced the word out, his eyes scanning her face as if the slightest micro-expression would tell him everything he needed to know about her.
“It’s not the preservation of knowledge that I frown upon,” she heard herself say. “But I could do without the gatekeeping of information that leads to power for the few while the many are helpless.”
// as you can see, the chapter count has increased to nine!! we *shouldn't* be climbing much higher than that unless i get carried away with myself (which is always possible when it comes to both dramione AND twilight)
mind the tags & enjoy! 🫶🏼
