Lie To Me

Part 9

Kit King
Why did I say yes?
Now I had to go out with Malfoy.
If Dad ever found out about this he'd definitely lock me in my bedroom and never let me out. Then again Im sure Malfoys parents would be too happy about it either. So why he even asked in the first place was more than confusing. I wasn't concerned that he had something evil planned that would embarrass me.
Never the less I got dressed into a pair of black jeans, and a green roll neck jumper. I decided to put on a bit more than my usual makeup and pulled my hair up into a ponytail. I shrugged on my white winter coat and headed down to the common room.

Malfoy was already stood there in a short black jacket, black trousers and his Slytherin scarf. I paused and sighed for a moment before clearing my throat.
"Right. Well. Let's go." He said and I rolled my eyes at him.
"You were the one who wanted me to do this." I said and he shrugged.
"It'll be interesting."

We walked to Hogsmead, only sharing the occasional word. It was going to be a long day if this is all that was going to happen. He seemed unbothered by the situation and it made me wonder why he even asked me in the first place.
I had never been here before so I was curious. I stopped to look at all the shops and didn't pass a store without going in.
Malfoy trailed behind me, occasionally sighing and rolling his eyes if I asked him a question about a certain item.
But it was only when we were sat in the back corner of a small pub that I finally confronted him.
"Why did you ask me here today?" I said and he moved his eyes from the window to mine.
"I told you, I thought it would be interesting. But now I can see why you've never had a boyfriend." He scoffed.
"Why are you such an asshole? I try and be nice to you. I try and be interested in today because you invited me. And now you just offend me. You make no sense Malfoy and Im tired of it!" I said and I felt the temper rise in my throat. "Y-you don't know what I've been through. So don't pretend that you do."

I didn't need to hear his response.
But I was sick and tired of him treating me like I was nothing. Like I was just something that he could mess around.
I was disappointed in myself for always walking away from him and not putting up a fight. But I couldn't stay with him when I could feel my temper rising. Nothing good ever came of my temper showing itself.
I didn't allow myself to cry over what he said. I had heard worse and he didn't matter. But it doesn't mean it didn't hurt.

As soon as I got back into my dorm room I changed into my comfy clothes and sat reading on my bed. I tried to take my mind off of Malfoy but no matter what I did my thoughts always drifted back to him. I wanted to like him especially after seeing him with Delilah, but he made it too hard to like him.

I was staring out the window when a knock at the door. I didn't respond but the door opened anyways.
Malfoy walked in the room and shut the door behind him. But my eyes were drawn to the bottles of the familiar Firewhisky. That stuff was powerful and it was hard to get. So how he got it I don't know.
"Come to offend me more?" I said turning my head back to the window.
"King Ive got an idea. I want to know you. I want to know all of you. So, I bought these and I thought that we could get to know each other and each secret we share, the other drinks." He said and I sighed.
"No. I don't want you to know me. I don't want to give you more ammunition to hurt me with"
"If you share with me, I promise I will not use anything you tell me against you."
He seemed genuine.
But there was a part of me that knew that what he was doing was going to lead me into a trap. After all, it was always me that got hurt.
