Leah Riddle: Riddle me This (Book 2)

Chapter 4

Alex and I realized we had to get back soon, but not before I spoke to Draco. We walked out of the Dining Room and found Draco lounging on the stairs.

 "Listen Leah, I'm sorry," he started to apologize, but I raised my hand to silence him.

 "Ariana said that you had helped her, is this true?" I asked abruptly and he looked taken back.

 "She said she wouldn't tell you!" he blurted out. My heart dropped into my stomach and I stepped back in surprise.

 "How could you help her? She's the enemy! You didn't even tell me about it, or say anything at all! You've brought her to our headquarters where she can get very valuable information!" I yelled and he looked paler. However, when he spoke, his voice was strong.

 "I did what I had to do for the benefit of our side. She's useful," he said.

 "She is a spy, and not for our side! This won't benefit us, it'll hurt us!" I yelled, advancing on him.

 "Leah," he said wearily.

 "Draco, I don't understand how you could endanger my family like that," I said lowly, and he glared.

 "I don't understand how you could not trust me," he retorted. We looked at each other coldly for a while.

 "Then I guess this won't work out," I said eventually, and though I felt like I could die, I sounded confident and cold.

 "I guess your right," he said, looking slightly taken back. I gave him a stiff nod and then turned.

 "Come on Alex," I said, and as we walked away, I saw Bellatrix and my father watching in surprise.

Alex and I apparated back to the Dursley's house where everyone was seated anxiously in the living room, Dudley looking incredibly pale and deathly; Potter looked terrified.

 "Big D, man," Alex said, getting back into character.

 "Leah?" Potter asked, and I saw that my eyes had betrayed me. They were the deepest blue I'd even seen, yet bright and barely filled with unshed tears.

 "What?" I asked bluntly.

 "What happened?" he asked gently.

 "Some guy," Alex snorted, but Potter knew what he meant.

 "He isn't worth it," Potter rolled his eyes, and I blinked back tears.

 "Give Dudley chocolate and he'll be fine," I said and Alex looked at me.
