Leah Riddle: Riddle me This (Book 2)

Chapter 5

 "Number Twelve Grimmauld place?" I asked. This place looked gross. Lupin didn't say anything and he ushered me inside.

 "Where are the others?" I asked stubbornly.

 "They're going over something with Harry," he said. We walked in on some sort of hushed up meeting, and Sirius shot to his feet. He looked less like a prisoner this time, and more like a normal person.

 "Leah, we need information," he said, pulling me to the table.

 "Absolutely not, she just got here! Besides, she hasn't been anywhere near them," Molly insisted, putting her hands on my shoulder.

 "Hello dear," she said, though I could tell these people didn't really trust me.

"Hello," I said with a polite nod.

 "Well, I believe you know everyone," she smiled and I nodded.

 "Are you alright?" she asked, sounding like a concerned mother.

 "Fine," I said quickly and then jumped when someone snorted behind me. Potter walked up with a scowl on his face.

 "She isn't fine; she broke up with Draco," he said and I glared.

 "Thanks," I said.

 "Oh...I'm so sorry," Molly said a bit insincerely. Sirius frowned and shook his head.

 "I wish things were easier between you two," he said, and he was sincere.

 "So do I," I nodded.

 "Well, you two head up stairs, the first door on the left is where you'll be staying," Molly said, trying to get us out of the meeting.

 "Wait, they should stay," Sirius said.

 "Absolutely not, they're just children!" she snapped and then ushered us upstairs. I didn't say a word to Potter as we walked up the steps, and then we walked into the room.

 "Harry!" Granger cried, embracing him and then seeing me.

 "What are you doing here?" she asked cautiously.

 "What else?" I asked.

 "That's right, you stayed with Harry. It's nice to see you," she said, hugging me. I hugged her back and I felt anger creep across the room, but this time it wasn't mine. It was actually Weasley and Potter's.

 "Oh Leah, what's wrong?" Granger asked, pulling me to the bed and sitting me down. She sat down cross legged next to me and watched me intently.

 "Why do people keep asking that?" I asked angrily, running my fingers through my hair in frustration.

 "It's written all over your face," she admitted and Weasley was watching stiffly with his arms crossed tightly.

 "Well ...I uh, broke up with Draco," I said, glaring at the door.

 "Why?" she gasped.

 "He went behind my back and then accused me of not trusting him," I said and Weasley laughed darkly.

 "You think it's funny?" I asked angrily and he glared.

 "Karma's a bitch, isn't it?" he sneered and I went to stand up, but Granger pushed me down.

 "Ronald, leave her alone," she said.

 "How'd he take it?" she asked.

 "He seemed surprised but it isn't like he begged me to stay," I said, biting my lip.
