Why don't you Stay? (Sequel to Kiss me if I'm wrong Fred Weasley Love Story)

Chapter 11 ~ I'm a Warrior!

*Kiara's POV*

I'm just sitting quietly as mum and Emilie talk to Dumbledore and McGonagall.

"Kiara, are you alright?"

Finally Fred says something to me. I close my eyes and breath in deeply to stop myself from breaking down all over again.

"Fred, just, hold me"

Fred moves and sits on the bed next to me and pulls me close. I burry my face into his chest, feeling his warmth on my face, breathing in his natural scent.

He smells like fresh air and dust.

I hear more voices join in the conversation and recognise them as Arthur and Molly Weasley.

I lift my head slightly without moving away from Fred. I sit up and lean on him, listening in to the conversation.

"-so what are we going to do about it, the poor girl must be distort"

"-Molly, there isn't a lot we can do, all we can do is support her-"

Do they not realise I can actually hear them, there's only a curtain between us.

"I'm getting slightly peeved at the fact that people keep talking about me like I'm not here"

Fred laughs a little, putting a smile on both our faces. I think I may have said it a little loud because their conversation stopped and then the curtain gets drawn back, so me, Fred and George are now part of the conversation.

My mum looks like she's about it explode. This can't be good.

"Kiara - May Kinn! What in the name of Merlin were you doing working for the Dark Lord?!!"

"I didn't have a choice-"

I mumble under my breath, not wanting to start an argument with my mum.

"-Had no choice?! How did you get yourself into that situation in the first place?!"

"Fred and George Weasley! I should drag you both home myself for breaking so many school rules!"

No one dare say anything against Molly. Even Arthur.

Fred's whole body tenses underneath me as he furrows under his mothers gaze.

"But, given the circumstances, I'll let you two off, but only once"

Fred relaxes and let's out a sigh of relief, putting a small smile on my face.

But that still doesn't excuse me from my mothers death stare.

"Kiko, please, how did this happen?"

"You really wanna know, well while attending Bouxbatons, there was a new teacher there, by the name of Andrew Hart or in this case Barty Crouch Jr. He took a fancy to me, but I kept my distance, until one day he had me cornered, he tried to force me to do something I didn't want to do, so he gave me an alternative. I joined him and the Dark Lord in their plan. I had no escape plan without getting killed in the process"

Everyone looks at me with sympathy, but little do they know this has been going on for years. And a girl like me learns how to look after herself in time.

You learn from your mistakes and who to trust.

"Kiko, why didn't you say anything there is always a way-"

"-Emilie, please, I know you mean well but seriously, this was something I had to deal with alone"

Before she can put in another word, Dumbledore suggests everyone gather in his office to talk things over and leave me to get some rest.

I beg Fred to stay with me for a little while longer while everyone else goes and talks about me behind my back.

He sits back down on the bed next to me, pulling me close to him and cradling my upper body on top of his.

I close my eyes and take slow deep breaths to steady myself and try not to break down and cry.

"I love you, Kiara"

My eyes shoot open, I'm not sure if I dreamt that or if it was just the wind.

I slowly lift my head and meet Fred's relaxed eyes. He has a slight smug grin on his face, as usual.

"What did you say?"

"I said, I love you, Kiara"

I smile the biggest smile I've warn for a long time, tears filling my eyes the more I play the last few words over and over in my mind.

"I love you too, Fred"

I choke on my words, a horrible lump in my throat stopping me from talking properly. But I don't care. Nothing can bother me now.
