The Traitor's Child

𝑆𝑖𝑥

narrator's p.o.v.

it was now the next morning and everyone was down in the kitchen eating breakfast.

all but harry.

he was up in his room, lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling in deep thought. in all honesty, he was still trying to process everything from the previous night.

ron decided to go upstairs to check on the boy, as everyone was about to finish eating and wanted to make sure harry ate something.

the youngest weasley son didn't even think about knocking on the door so he just barged into his best friend's room, making him jump.

the boy turned to look at who had just burst in his room, and the two's eyes met.

"blimey, ron. you nearly gave me a heart attack!" harry exclaimed, while propping himself up on his elbows.

"sorry mate. i just wanted to come check on you. everyone's almost through with breakfast. you need to eat. you barely even touched your food at dinner last night. want me to bring you a plate?" ron replied calmly.

"i'm not hungry." harry told him harshly.

ron walked over and sat at the foot of harry's bed.

ron spoke up while brushing invisible dust off of the comforter on the bed trying to ignore the awkwardness, "are you okay harry? i can't imagine things are easy for you right now-"

"i'm fine, ron. okay?" he told him bitterly.

"bloody hell man. there's no reason to be rude. i'm only trying to help." ron told harry as he stood up and walked to the door.

"you really should give her a chance you know. maybe quit thinking about yourself for once."

harry didn't answer him, and ron sighed. "i'll bring you up a plate."

"i'm terribly sorry about harry, sweetheart. oh, that stubborn boy." mrs. weasley told kindred.

"it's okay, mrs. weasley. i understand where he's coming from." kindred replied with a saddened expression.

"if you'll excuse me for a moment, i need to use the restroom." she announced, pushing her chair away from the table. as she exited the room, she could feel the burning stare of two pairs of eyes on her.

"those boys." she mumbled under her breath.

she walked up the stairs to her bathroom, as she didn't want to use the one downstairs because she was sure the twins would follow her.

she was running her finger along the grove in the wall as she strolled down the hall, not paying attention to where she was going.

"ow, shit." she spoke as she ran into a tall, brawny figure and stumbled backwards.

"sor- oh harry." she said when their eyes met, "i'm um, i'm really sorry." the girl backed up.

"watch where you're going, pettigrew." he spat, taking a step forward and closing the space between them.

the pair were in such a close proximity they could feel one another's warm breath on their skin. it wasn't intimate, it was supposed to be more of an intimidation tactic.

"watch where other people are walking next time, potter." she bit back.

she could've sworn she saw his the corner of his lip curl every so slightly, as if he was going to smile, but then she also thought she saw his eyes flash red from anger.

whichever it was didn't matter.

kindred bit her lip and started walking again to the bathroom when she heard footsteps behind her.

"kindred," they sighed,

"wait."
