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

Chapter 22: Catching the Knight Bus

Kayla’s POV

I sat on the bed and forced back my tears. I didn’t like crying, it was a waste of body fluids. I kept blinking every ten seconds to keep from crying. Finally I heard a tap on the window and I pull open the window. Aria flies in the room and nibbles my ear. I take her letter and read it in the dim light. Ron had written it and he must have done so quickly.

Kay,

Sorry everything’s not going how you planned. Do you want to come back to school? Okay if you want to come back get on the Knight Bus. You just get as far away from the Malfoys as you can and then call the Knight Bus. It’ll be summoned to you. Don’t worry I know what I’m talking about. I’ll see you soon

Ron   

I smiled. Ron always had a way of making me smile, no matter what happened. Suddenly I missed my friends so much it hurt. I felt my heart pang. I wanted to see them all now. I wrote Ron a reply telling him I was going back to school. I got up and changed into jeans and a sweater. I pulled on my boots and a scarf. I glance in the mirror and tie back my long hair. I checked around the room to make sure I didn’t leave anything, and then I grabbed my bag and put Aria in her cage. I picked a small piece of parchment and wrote a note to Draco. I sighed as I signed my name and I turned to the window. I hoped I could squeeze through it. I tuck my wand into my pocket and open the window wide. I swing my legs over the window ledge and then I drop to the ground. The fall was rough and I landed on my side. I felt the hard ground underneath me and pushed myself onto my elbows. I got to my feet and started to walk. I looked around every ten seconds. I pull up the hood of my sweatshirt and walk a little faster. The only noises I heard were my breath and the thump of my boots on the street. The cool wind whipped my hair and face. I finally stood on the side of the street and mouthed Knight Bus. I felt weird. How was I supposed to summon a bus? I whisper “Come save me, Knight Bus.” Nothing happened.

“KNIGHT BUS!” I finally yelled. The bus came roaring down the street. I screamed and jumped out of the way. It blew wind around me and I fell on my bum. The doors flew open with a bang and I saw Stan Shunpike looking down at me.

“Need a little help there, girly?” he asked. I got up and climbed on the bus. I looked around but no one else was around.

“You can sit up here with me,” he tells me. I sit in the front seat and a guy takes my bags to the back. I sit down and Stan starts yapping.

“Where you from girl?” he asks.

“America,” I say looking around.

“Do yer go to school around here or something?”

“Yeah I got to Hogwarts,” I say.

“Oh so you go to that fancy wizard school?”

“Yeah I guess,” I tell him. He started talking and asking tons of questions.

“What’s your name?” he asks turning to me.

“Penelope Clearwater,” I say quickly. He nods and starts talking again. I zoned out on what he was saying and leaned against the window. I let my cheek touch the cool glass.

“I’m so sorry Draco,” I mouth.

Draco’s POV

I paced back and forth around my room.

“Kitten they just don’t understand,” I say, “No that doesn’t sound like I mean it.” I thought of a million ways to apologize.

“Kitten you do not understand how much you mean to me. My parents will never change that,” I say. I nod to myself. That sounded like the best approach. I went to Kitten’s room and knocked.
