Lie To Me

Part 46

Draco Malfoy
"What will you do?"
"I don't know."
"Where will you go?"
"I don't know that either."

Kit and I were sat by the lake. We sat side by side and I gently held her hand in mine.
The task had been completed.
But now it meant that none of us were safe.
Voldemort would take over Hogwarts.

I was worried about Kit.
She had no where to go and nothing to do.
My parents wouldn't let her in.
They thought she was a traitor after she wanted to help Dumbledore, so there was no way she could come with me.
They might hurt her.
And I would never forgive myself if that happened.

"I might see if the Weasleys will let me stay." She sighed and I felt a tug on my heart at the thought that she'd be around Fred if she stayed there.
"We will."
Both of us turned and Potter, Granger and Weasley were all stood in a line behind us.
I turned back to Kit and she stood up but didn't go towards them.
Her beautiful shining eyes flickered between the three.
I stood up and stood next to her, feeling awkward staying on the floor.
"What?" Kit said blankly.
"I said, we'd let you stay."
"But-"
"Harry told us that you tried to protect Dumbledore. We know you're not with them Kit." Granger piped up and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "As for you-"
"He didn't do it." Potter said and I frowned.
"But I thought-"
"No. Snape did."

I was surprised.
Potter would never defend me.
Ever.
He hated me within an inch of my life.
And now I was a death eater I would have thought he  would despise me even more.
Now here he was defending me.

I looked between the trio and then back to Kit who stood looking at the floor with her arms folded infront of her.
"Can we talk with Kit alone?" Potter said and I looked to Kit who's eyes shot up immediately.
"She's just been through-"
"Go. I'm fine." She said and placed a small kiss to my cheek.
"I'll be waiting for you in the common room ok?" I said and she nodded again before I held her face lightly, pressing a much needed kiss to her lips.
"I'll be there soon." She whispered before walking away from me with the trio.

Kit King
I never thought I'd ever want to talk to them again. Especially not Ron.
Yet here I am talking to them.
"What do you want?" I asked, trying to stay calm.
"What happened up there Kit?" Harry asked and I could immediately feel the tears stinging my eyes.
"I-I I helped Draco fix the cabinet that let them in. It was my fault that they were even here in the first place. As soon as I saw Draco threaten Dumbledore I knew what was going to happen and I felt guilty. He didn't deserve to die." I sniffled.
"None of this was your fault. Besides, you protected Dumbledore." Harry said, putting an awkward hand on my shoulder.
"And disowned my own parents and have nowhere to go." I sighed, running a hand through my hair.
"I told you Kit, you can come and stay with us for as long as you need to." Ron said and I sighed.
"Are you sure Ron?"
"Mum and Dad will let you. Well tell them what happened tonight. Please Kit just stay with us."
"Ok."
"Could I talk to Kit alone for a second?" Ron said and my palms got sweaty as I knew he was going to want to talk about Fred.

The two others walked away and I sighed as I folded my arms over my chest.
I couldn't look at Ron, but I was aware that he was staring me.
"Kit would you look at me?"
"No. Because I know you're going to talk about what happened with Fred." I sighed.
"Because I have to apologise Kit. It was wrong of me to tell Fred that you and Draco had been getting close and that you had something to do with our house burning. I know you didn't." He sighed.
"Then why tell him that?"
"Because, in all honesty, I didn't like you two dating. I was stupid enough to think that someone as independent and well, scary, as you could truly like Fred. After all you're polar opposites." He shrugged and I couldn't stop the smile on my face as he said that i was scary.
"I'm not scary."
"I used to think you were. Anyways I'm truly sorry and I promise I'll talk to Fred."
"You will?"
"Of course I will. It's the right thing to do. So, come and live with us?" He asked and I pushed out a half smile.
"Thanks Ron."
"Anytime."

Draco Malfoy
I hated the fact that Kit was going to stay with the Weasleys.
I knew it was secretly where she would rather be, but I couldn't trust her and Fred being together. Who knows what would happen.
I just hoped that she liked me more.

"So, I'll write to you." Kit said as she held my hands.
"And I might respond."
"Draco." She warned and I couldn't help but grin at her tone.
"Ok fine I'll write back. I promise. As long as Fred keeps his hands off you."
"Jealous much?" She scoffed and I rolled my eyes.
"I am." I shrugged.
"Kit! We're leaving!"
"Bye Draco." She sighed and gave my cheek a final kiss before letting go of my hands.
"Kit! No Fred."
"I'm not your girlfriend Draco." She giggled before winking and walking away to Weasley.

I felt my cheeks and ears burn up as I realised that she wasn't my girlfriend.
I had never asked her.
But she would be.
Very soon.
