Love at the Ministry (Percy Weasley/ Kelina)

Chapter Ten

Hi! This chapter is just a little bit of a filler, but hopefully the next one will have some nice plot! Enjoy :)

Being brought back from her memory, Kelina was faced with six large eyes looking at her.

"Percy? As in my brother, Percy Weasley?" Ginny was the first to speak after Kelina's statement, to which the girl nodded.

"Bloody hell." Was all Ron could say, leaning back in his chair.

"Always knew he was a right git, but this is a new level." Fred said, trying his best to be positive. George looked over to her, suddenly remembering his involvement with that night. He looked guilty, which made Kelina sad, he didn't cause it, but that's how he felt.

"Kelina, you don't need him anyway." Hermione said.

"Thanks guys, I'm just going to go home. I'm thoroughly embarrassed and trying not to cry." The last part wasn't meant to come out, but the Veritaserum was still in her system.

"No! We can play a different game, don't leave." Ginny stood up to go over to the girl.

"It's okay, Gin, I'll be okay." She reassured the girl. "Now, go back and have fun at your party."

Kelina woke up the next morning with a terrible headache the next morning. While a Weasley party was the best of the best, the mornings after were always the worst. Everyone was bound to wake up with a raging headache from the amount of alcohol they consumed, but Kelina's was worse for a different reason. She was forced to relive one of the worst nights of her life, which she so desperately tried to forget ever happened.

She was past this. She wasn't some scared seventeen year old anymore. She was a fully grown adult, and she knew how to handle things now.

She got out of bed, throwing on her robe to get ready to make a cup of coffee, even if the pounding in her head didn't exist. What she didn't expect was for Hermione and Ginny to be sitting on her couch, waiting for her to get up.

"Merlin, guys! What are you doing here?" Kelina jumped back, surprised by the intrusion. Well, could you really call it an intrusion if Kelina gave them access to her fireplace?

"Well, we all felt really bad about last night, and we just wanted to check up on you." Hermione explained, handing a small vile over to Kelina. It was the same potion she brought last time they suffered from a hangover, and Kelina was immensely grateful.

"I'm fine truly, just something silly that happened a little bit ago." Kelina defended herself, but the two other girls in the room weren't buying it.

"You can talk about it with us, no judgement." Ginny said.

"I don't know what there is to tell. I got stood up by Percy, end of story."

"Is this why you hate him?" Hermione asked, and Kelina sighed.

"No, not exactly, I mean, a part of it, but no." Hermione and Ginny looked at the other girl, confused. "Okay fine."

So, Kelina explained the events of that night to the two other girls, who listened intently, hanging on her every word. By the end, Hermione placed a sympathetic hand on her shoulder, and Ginny looked ready to beat someone up.

"I swear, the next time I see him I'm going to-"

"Gin, no, please. It was a long time ago, and I'm over it." Well, that was sort of true. Kelina had grown up to get over it, but every time she thought about it, her heart hurt just a little bit.

Eventually, Hermione and Ginny had left, and Kelina was alone again, not that she minded. When she was alone, it gave her time to get productive work done. So, she decided that today she was going to clean her apartment. Her apartment wasn't dirty, per say. There were a few things out of place, and she then decided that she would rearrange some things too, just for a new look.

After about three hours of nonstop working, she was finally happy with it. Kelina stood up, wiping sweat from her brow, and going to the kitchen to get a glass of water. This was exactly what she needed, a day away from thinking about Percy. Her mind was just filled with him for the past few days, and she didn't know how to stop it. He would never think of her in that way, and she needed to get that through her head.
