Tom Felton Finally Responds To Emma Watson Dating Rumors: 'we Are Something'

“I've always had a secret love for Emma, though not perhaps in the way that people might want to hear, ” he wrote, per the Daily Mail. “That isn't to say that there's never been a spark between us. There most definitely has, only at different times.”

While Watson has openly discussed her former crush on Felton, the Draco Malfoy actor has been shutting down gossip about their relationship status since he was 15 years old. “Rumors started to abound that there was more to our relationship than we were letting on. I denied that I liked her in that way, but the truth was different, ” Felton wrote. “My girlfriend at the time knew straightaway that there was something unspoken between us. I remember using the familiar old line ‘I love her like a sister.’ But there was more to it than that.”

He continued, “I don't think I was ever in love with Emma, but I loved and admired her as a person in a way that I could never explain to anybody else…. We were kindred spirits. I know for certain I'll always have Emma's back and she'll always have mine too.”

I’ve lost count of the times people have said to me, ‘You must have drunkenly made out, just once!’ ‘You must have kissed!’ ‘There must be something!’ But what we have is far deeper than that. It’s one of the purest loves I can think of. We’re soulmates, and we’ve always had each other’s backs. I know we always will.”Many fans have shipped the duo ever since they learned of Watson's crush on Felton in the early days of their film franchise, in which she played Hermione Granger and he portrayed Draco Malfoy.

Sometimes it feels hard to live in a world where people are so quick to judge, to doubt, to question intentions. Tom doesn't do that, Watson continued. I know that, even if I've made a mistake, he'll understand that my intention was good. I know that he'll always
