I never thought I loved you (Ron Weasley love story)

Chapter 13: Why him?

Chapter recap

I try not to lose it as I hurry up to my dorm. I slip inside, when suddenly a lamp flicks on. I jump, caught like a deer in head lights.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the pale cone of orange light comes on, it reveals my friends’ pale, tired faces.

“Er… Hello,” I mumble. I tip-toed over to the closet and took of my boots. I hang up my cloak and slip into bed, next to Luna.

“Where were you?” Kiersten asks, in a loud whisper.

“I couldn’t sleep, so I went for a walk,” I surprised myself with that lie. It sounded almost true/

“That’s not true, you hate walking,” Kierst says. She lowers her voice and turns toward me.

“Where were you?” she repeats.

“I told you, I went fo-“I start to say, but Ginny cuts me off.

“Kay, where were you really?” I consider telling the truth. What harm could it do? It would get around eventually that we were together.

“Okay fine, I’ll tell you,” I say.

“Well, go ahead,” Kierst urges me.

“I met Draco.”

 “Where?” Ginny asks. At the same time Hermione says, “Why?”

“He wanted to talk to me,” I answer calmly. I was getting tired and I just want to end this conversation.

“About…” Luna asks.

“What?” I ask.

“What did Malfoy want to talk to you about?” Hermione says patiently.

“He asked me to be his “lover”,” I say. I use air quotes around the word lover.

“Really?” Kierst asks.

“Well not exactly, but he did ask me if I wanted to be his girlfriend.”

“You said no, correct?” Hermione asks.

“Hell no!” I say a little too loudly. I lower my voice,”I said yes. I can’t believe he finally likes me back after five years.”

“Good for you,” Kierst says.

“I just wish you liked anyone but him, but I’m happy for you,” Hermione mumbles.

“Thanks, ‘Mione,” I say.

“Goodnight,” Luna sighs, as she clicks out the lamp. It isn’t long until, I’m fully asleep. Ginny shoves me awake in the morning. I groan loudly. I was exhausted from last night or this morning. I just wanted to sleep. I thought about skipping today.

“Kayla, don’t you want to see your new bow?” Kierst asks. I jump up, quickly and rush into the bathroom. I shower quickly and yank knots out my hair.

“That was fast,” Kiersten says with a smirk. I roll my eyes. She was still eager to see George all the time. I get dressed and put on my favorite pair of suspenders. I like nerdy clothes. I put on my glasses and brush my hair. I slip on my white converse. I just leave my hair out and put on my robes and green and silver stripped tie. We walk down to breakfast together. Okay well I skipped. I skip over to a table and slide in next to Fred, a big smile on my face.

“Well hello Sunshine,” Fred says. I grin even wider as I butter a slice of toast.

“Why are you in such a good mood?” Ron asks.

“Because the world is beautiful, Ron!” I exclaim happily. An owl flutters up to me and I take its message.

“Who keeps sending you owls?” George asks. I ignore him and open up the note.

I’m thinking of you

Love, D

That’s all it says. I grin again.

“Kay? Who’s it from?” Harry asks. I answer his question with another question.

“Do you want to know what I did last night?” I ask. I decide to just tell my friends. I was sure Draco wouldn’t care. Everybody was bound to find out anyway.

“Er… Do we want to know?” Fred asks.

“Yes,” Kiersten and Luna answer, giggling.

“Go on,” Harry says.

“Well yesterday, that letter was from… a person. It asked me to meet them at midnight. So, I did and…” I trail off.

“Well?” Ron asks.

“I got there and saw Draco-“I wanted to continue but Ron interrupted me.

“Why would Malfoy ask you to meet him at midnight?”

“Well if you let me continue, you would know. Anyhow, he asked me to be his girlfriend,” I finish.

“Well you said no, correct?” asks Harry.   

“No! I did not say no,” I exclaim.

“But he was horrible to you,” George says.

“No he wasn’t,” I say, “Well I’m going, can’t be late.” I get up and give all my friends a grin. I fling my bag over my shoulder and grab my letter. I hold the letter to my chest as I rush off to meet my boyfriend.
