Kris hasn't seen Harry nor Lynn for weeks. She thinks that Lynn is still recovering, and as for Harry, she has no idea. She wants to talk her suspicions out, but Desiree isn't there to do the job. She can write to her! Ninetta can find them, and give her the letter. Or, she can just forget about it and keep the suspicions to herself. Draco has also been wandering the halls after hours, Kris would follow, and see him admiring the same cabinet. It was nothing new, so she stopped investigating in things that don't involve her.
"Is Lynn out of the infirmary yet?" Paul asked as him and his brother jogged towards her.
"No, haven't heard though," she shrugged. "Why?"
"Because Paul here has been noticing that they have been distancing," Max announced.
"Shut the hell up Max," Paul warned.
"Well," Kris rocked back and forth, "I don't know what to tell you, but, be cautious, she is sensitive."
"Okay well, Paul you can go alone. I'm just going to join Kris so I can find Lyndel, and... Talk to her..."
"More like snog her," Kris mumbled under her breath.
Max heard her and gave her a hard nudge in the arm. Kris didn't feel anything, there is nothing to physically feel and emotionally feel, she's been drained since Snape denied being her father. If only she can ask her mother, but she told her to stay away from her. She's so screwed up, she messes everything up.
"Hey I found Lyndel, see you later then?"
"Y-yeah," Kris answered once she noticed he left.
Once Max left to his girlfriend, Kris spotted Harry walking towards Dumbledore's office.
"Harry!" Kris exclaimed as she ran over to him, and jumped onto his back. "It feels like I haven't seen you in forever!"
"H-Hi Love!" Harry smiled sheepishly.
"Are you okay?" She asked as she jumped down. "You seem distressed-"
"I'm fine! I mean- in perfectly stable. Listen, I am really busy..." Harry darted his eyes at Dumbledore's office staircase, and back to Kris.
"But we haven't spoken for weeks, since Lynn was sent to the infirmary."
"I know, and I am sorry-"
"Sorry? You don't have to be sorry, we can hang out right now. You never wait for me in the common room anymore."
"I know, I am just very busy..."
"Harry, is everything alright?"
"Y-yeah... Just go with Draco, he seems to be into your presence."
"W-what?" Kris gasped.
"Yeah, you seem like you love being around him, so why not go now? Is it because I am here, am I holding you back from the boy you fancy?"
"H-Harry," Kris blinked quickly, why is he being so rude all of a sudden?
"Just go Kris, I know I am wasting your time with Malfoy," Harry snapped.
Kris's breath hitched, how can he say that to her? He knows she loves him, and only him, has he lost feelings due to their distancing?
"Goodbye Kris," Harry shook, and trudged up the staircase.
Once he opened the door to Dumbledore's office, his eyes began to water.
"Ah, Harry," Dumbledore welcomed, "what's wrong?"
"I did what you told me, the evidence better be worth my time, Professor."
"I understand, and I am sorry, Harry."
