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

Chapter 28: Dumbledore's Army

Kayla’s POV

I had done it. I had confessed my feelings for Ron and broken up with Draco. I know I needed to talk to both of them. I was hiding now, in a broom cupboard. I hoped neither of them would fine me. I sat curled up in a ball but I think I was all cried out for this year. I just sat. I heard a knock on the door. I froze.

“Kay I know you’re in here,” Ron’s impatient voice.

“You know nothing!” I shriek. I hear the lock click and the door opens. He stood in the doorway watching me. I sat curled up in a ball. He finally closed the door and sat next to me.

“Kay… I- love you and-“Ron began.

“Stop right there!” I said.

“Look Kay I know you don’t want to break if off with Malfoy-“

“Stop it! Just leave me alone,” I grumble. I wanted to be alone and he didn’t seem to understand that. I jumped up and headed to the door. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him. He held me but I squirmed.

“Just stop it. Stop trying to be my friend. Stop being nice to me, stop… Stop making me love you,” I blurt out angrily. I try to shove him away but he holds my wrist.

“I understand you don’t want to crush Malfoy-“

“I already did.”

“You… You two are no longer…?” Ron asked slowly.

“Yeah,” I sighed. Before I got out another word he grabbed me. He lifted me and kissed me. I felt myself drawn to him just as I had the night of the ball. I gripped a fistful of his hair and lost myself. He pulled away and looked at me.

“So where do we go from here?” Ron asks.

“I- I don’t know. But I do know that my letter was true.”

“Good.” And it was good. We were together. I had a long night of explaining to do. The girls were giddy and way too happy for me. I think I always knew deep down they were rooting for team Rayla (Ron+ Kayla= Rayla <3 LOL I’m weirdJ). The next day I had avoided Draco. He wrote me notes telling me he still loved me. It broke my heart to see him trying so hard. Afterschool I met Harry. He had asked me to meet him in the library. I found him sitting by himself.

“Hey Harry Pothead,” I greet him sitting down.

“Really?” he asks. I nod.

“So what’s this conference all about?” I ask.

“Kayla, we’ve been keeping a secret from you.”

“Care to elaborate?” I ask.

“We’ve had a secret club going on,” Harry whispers.

“What?” I ask.

“All of us. We didn’t tell you because you were Malfoy’s girlfriend.”

“But I’m also your best friend!” I exclaim.

“Please calm down. We were striking against Umbridge. I was teaching everyone spells,” Harry continues, “We’re called Dumbledore’s Army, D.A. for short.”

“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me.”

“Well I’m telling you now. You are now an official member of the D.A.” Harry whispers. He hands me a strange looking gold coin.

“What’s this?” I ask.

“It alerts you when we have a meeting. Tell no one,” Harry nods.

“Who would I tell?” I mumble. We walk back to the common room together. I was still surprised Kiersten had been able to keep such a big secret from me.
