Lie To Me

Part 8

Draco Malfoy
I hated the fact that my father had made me stay at this god forsaken school over Christmas. But apparently it would be best for me to get information now because as summer came it wouldn't matter.
Not that I knew what that meant.

I hated the fact that she had seen me be kind to a younger student. I didn't want to be kind to her. And I don't think I was sweet to her. I just showed her how her inferiors should be treated.

But that's not how King saw it. Now she thought I was some softie. And that I was not. She didn't know me. She didn't know what I was capable of. She had no idea. But she would eventually. I would show her.

But for now I had to somehow make her trust me. And it was proving to be harder than I thought. I couldn't be nice to her. She was infuriating. But I had to bite my tongue and get on with it. I had to get her to trust me. I had to somehow convince her to be in a relationship with me. That's the only way she would know to trust me if I did all I could to be nice to her.

I sighed as she entered the common room, looking rather shaken up. I frowned and watched her slowly ascend to her dormitory.
But I decided to follow.
I knocked on the door and heard her groan, which actually made me smile.
"What."
"You looked shaken up when you walked in and I want to know what's got your knickers in a twist." I said and smirked as her cheeks grew rosy.
"M-my knickers are very much fine." She scoffed.
"Can I come in?"
"Don't you think that's odd?"
"No ones here." I said and strutted into the girls dorm, which was a lot nicer than ours.
"Which ones yours?"
"Gross no your not sitting on my bed." She said and stuck her tongue out.
"I have something to ask you." I said.

I hadn't really planned where I was going with it. But I had to do something to push this acquaintance thing we had going on further.
She raised an eyebrow and her stare was making me uncomfortable so I shoved my hands in my pockets.
"Let me take you to Hogsmead tomorrow." I sighed and she did nothing to react.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard."
Suddenly, King burst out laughing, so hard infact that tears started streaming from her eyes and she had to sit herself down on the window sill. She laughed for a good few minutes while I stood there feeling more than embarrassed. If only she knew I wasn't serious about her.
"I'm serious." I said and her laughter died down.
"Come off it." She giggled.
"Kit. I'm serious." I said and used her first name to show her I was serious.
"Why? What do you get out of it?" She said and folded her arms.
"The pleasure of your company." I grinned.
"You're so full of crap Malfoy. No I don't want to go out with you tomorrow." She said and I growled internally.
"Katerina. Please will you come with me to Hogsmead tomorrow? Please?" I said and walked closer to her in an attempt to intimidate her into it.
"Don't call me that."
"Kit-"
"Yes! Ok fine I'll come with you but it's not a date. It. Is. Not. A. Date." She warned and I grinned.
"You want it to be."
"Don't make me sick. I'll never date an asshole like you." She scoffed and I rolled my eyes at her. Yet as I looked up at her I saw that she had a small smile on her face.
"Before you know it you'll fall in love with me."
"Oh get out." She laughed and I walked towards the door and sent her a small smile before closing the door.

As I walked slowly up to my room I shook my head. I felt funny. Not sick. But not normal. I didn't know what I was going to do with her tomorrow. Ideally she'd change her mind in the morning so I wouldn't have to go. It would be the worst day of my life if I had to go. I wished I hadn't suggested it.
But then I wonder, why did she say yes?
