Two Sisters, Two Loves

Krista Finds Out

*Krista’s Point of View*
  I wiped away a tear of laughter, “That was the best thing ever!”
  Neville laughed too, “But why me?”
  “Because you’re too easy a target.”
  He fake pouted, “All right, I’ll give you that.”
  The two of us kept wandering the fourth floor. I wanted to find a place for us to be alone with getting caught. I remembered an old classroom that hasn’t been used in years.
  I took Neville’s hand, “Hey, come with me.”
  “Sure,” he grinned, “Where to?”
  I gave him a devious smirk, “‘somewhere.’”
  “Very funny.”
  We took off running through the corridor, laughing. We turned the corner and stopped dead in our tracks. It’s Malfoy, with his filthy hands on my sister, kissing her.
  “Kenzie?!”
  The two looked at us like deer in the headlights. Malfoy immediately let go of her and backed away.
  She gulped, “Uh, oh…”
  I don’t know what to say. I’m utterly baffled at what I had seen. The four of us stood in the most awkward of silences ever, looking between each other.
  I managed to find my voice,” Kenzie… Why?!”
  “Why what?” she asked, “I’m not doing anything wrong.”
  “Yeah, you kind of are,” I said.
  She stared me confused, ‘How?”
  I’m almost speechless, “It’s… It’s just… HIM! There’s several hundred other guys at this school, yet it’s HIM!”
  She sighed, “Krista, please. Don’t tell anyone. It’s supposed to be a secret.”
  “I’m sure. “I have relations with jerk-face,” who wants that to be known?” I asked a bit annoyed.
  Malfoy came up to us and wrapped his arm around her, “Krista, please understand. Your sister and I are really happy together.”
  I looked at him suspiciously, “Together? You mean this isn’t just some fling?”
  They shook their heads.
  “I don’t believe this. You’ve been nothing but horrible to us,” I scolded Malfoy.
  He hung his head shamefully, “It was a cover. We didn’t want people to know about us.”
  “How long?” I sighed.
  They looked at each other lovingly and smiled, “A month.”
  Neville spoke up, “How did you hide it that long?”
  Kenzie shrugged, “Well,” she gave Malfoy a scolding look, “It wasn’t easy.”
  I shook my head, “All right, I won’t say anything.” I pointed at Malfoy, “If I find out you ever do something to hurt her, you’ll be sorry.”
 He nodded, “I understand completely.”
  Kenzie came up and hugged me, “Thanks, sis.”
  I suddenly remembered something, “No problem. Hey, if you want to keep this a secret, I recommend hiding. Like, now.”
  She looked at Malfoy confused then back to Neville and I, “Uh, why?”
  “Seamus is looking for you,” Neville told her.
  “Oh, no.”
  I looked at her, “Do you know why?”
  She nodded, ‘Yes. Draco, we should go.”
  Malfoy took her hand and they headed downstairs.
  I called after them, “Wait, how did you find out?”
  “Harry told me!” She yelled back.
  I glanced at Neville in disbelief, “What the hell is happening?”
  He shrugged, “Life. Come on.”
  We walked further upstairs, until we came to the seventh floor.
  Neville gave me a light kiss, “I know things are weird right now, but maybe we just need a distraction.”
  “What do you have in mind?”
  He grinned, “I’ll show you. First, we need to find a place where we can be alone.”
  I pointed to a small door on the wall, “What’s in there?”
  “I’m not sure.”
  We walked to the door and Neville opened it, revealing a small room similar to a bedroom, but with a couch instead.
  I bit my lip, “Huh. What are the chances of that?”
  Neville shrugged and looked at me.
  I grinned and grabbed his hand, “Let’s go.”
*Draco’s Point of View*
  “Not so tough without your friends are you?” Kenzie yelled.
  I growled, “Like you can talk, you filthy mudblood!”
 “At least muggle-born and half-blood parents aren’t cousins!”
  I looked through the corner of my eye and saw Finnegan staring at us from the end of the hall, “You just wish you were a pure-blood like me.”
 Kenzie scoffed, “You wish, you conceited prat. Get out of here and leave me alone.”
  She turned to walk away and I clutched her wrist, “I’m not finished with you.”
  “Well, she’s finished with you.”
  Out of nowhere, Seamus had come up and shoved me against the wall, his wand aimed at my throat.
  “You all right, Kenzie?” he asked her.
  She seemed just as shocked as I was. Finnegan never stands up for anything. I nodded to her to remind her to answer.
  “Yes. Thanks, Seamus.”
  He didn’t look at her, but an accomplished grin spread across his face. Anger started boiling in the pit of my stomach. He was using this to try and impress her! I tried to slip past him, but the tip of his wand was digging into my neck. Since Longbottom had warned us about Seamus, Kenzie recommended that we pretend to fight if we ran into him. Neither of us expected him to get so violent.
  She looked at me worriedly, “Seamus, let him go.”
  His death glare to me softened as he turned to her, “Not for threatening you.”
  “Please, Seamus. I’m fine, really. Just let him go.”
  Finnegan sighed and turned back to me. I glared back at him, just daring for him to curse me or whatever he was planning to do.
  He reluctantly lowered his wand, “Fine. Next time, Malfoy, you won’t be so lucky.”
  “I’ll be sure to keep my excitement under control,” I snapped.
  I rubbed my neck where his wand was pressed against my skin, watching almost helplessly as Finnegan walked up to Kenzie and set his hand on her shoulder. The rage inside me were burning flames. I wanted to do exactly what he did to me except I wanted to punch him to the ground. The only thing that stopped me was Kenzie. I knew she’d hate me forever if I did that, so all I could do was let the anger devour me.
  He glared at me, “Come on, Kenzie. Let’s get you back to the common room.”
  She looked to me for help, but I knew I couldn’t do anything. Not without being exposed. Finnegan’s hand travelled from her shoulder to her lower back, trying to guide her away from me.
  She eased out of his reach, “That’s okay, Seamus. I’m going to go find Fred and George.”
  I fought back a grin as a look of disappointment plastered Finnegan’s face when Kenzie walked off without him.
  “That’s my girl,” I praised under my breath.
  He turned back towards me, “All right, Malfoy, let me set this straight for you. If I ever catch you harassing my girlfriend again, I’ll make sure you have a one way trip to the hospital wing.”
  I scoffed, “She’s not your girlfriend, Finnegan. She wants nothing to do with you.”
  “Oh, look at that. Now, we found each other.”
  I watched as he stormed off after her. More guilt began washing over me when I thought about what happened earlier. Now, I really understand why Kenzie was so upset. I banged my head against the wall, sighing. What am I going to do?
