Change of Heart (A Weasley Fan Fiction)

Chapter 7

"We need your help," Ron smiled as I gave him a small hug.

"What am I doing?" I asked nervously, Harry was the teacher-not me.

"You have a patronous, right? We'd like you to show it off," Ron shrugged. I grinned, I loved my patronous and I'd give anything to show her off.

"Of course, Ronniekins," I snickered. 

"Alright everyone, today we're working on patronuses. Kayley, can you come up here?" Harry called to the room at large.

I stepped forward, nerves flooded through me, when was the last time I was nervous? I took a calming breath as I stood beside Hermione. I noticed Zachary Smith smirk before giving me a small wave. 

"Expecto Patronum!" I said clearly, thinking of the happiest memory I had, and soon there was a jackal. I grinned at the beauty before she began strutting around the room with big booming feet alongside Harry's stag. 

"Now, think of the happiest memory you can and speak clearly," Harry instructed as the group stepped away to begin working on their own patronus. 

 "Come on you two! Show me what you got!" I teased the twins as they could only create wisps. "One...two...three!" 

Two creatures emerged from their wands, I stood speachless as I watched the transparent animals begin to fight each other. They both looked at me expectantly as their patronuses disappeared into silver wisps. A hyena, a coyote, and add mine to the mix and what did you get...

You've got to be joking...right? 

"Kayley!" Thank god, Ginny! I turned around, saved from such an awkward situation, I rushed to her side as she beamed. "Look!" She was proud of her patronus, I could just tell in her smile as she grinned. I patted her shoulder and leaned forward. 

"Fred and George just casted theirs and...it's the equivalent to mine." 

"No...you're joking, right?" Ginny's eyes were wide. 

"No, I'm not!"  I tossed my hands into the air. 

"Oh, Kay....what're you going to do?" 

"Hide my face for a bit." 

"You know they'll just badger Harry for their map back so they can find you." 

I stomped my foot, BANG. Did I do that?! I looked around, all chatter had stopped. I noticed the glass mirrors around the room were slightly shaking. Bloody hell. 

"Listen up everyone! We don't have much time but we need to get out, there will be-"

Harry began to walk towards the source of the noise with Nigel when BOOM, the mirrors came crashing down and all was left was a hole. I got a sinking feeling in my stomach as I heard that sickly sweet voice of Umbridge. 

"Bombarda maxima." 

The wall in front of us came crashing down, the twins appeared on either side of me and grabbed my arms. I felt my face flush slightly, it wasn't unusual, but their patronus duel made me feel awkward. 

I shook the thoughts away as I was dragged down the hall by Draco, "I warned you!" he hissed. 

"Oi, like you warned me you knew." 

"I didn't until I saw you enter this room last week. But I did honestly warn you I was patrolling, it was a warning to get out." Draco shoved me roughly, where were we going? 

 Draco dragged me and the others into Umbridge's classroom while Harry was taken away, I shot him a worried look as Draco guided me into a seat and directly put the twins on either side of me. He seemed to be getting enjoyment out of watching me squirm between the two red heads who wouldn't meet my gaze.
