A/n- I like the way this is going. Im not like, planning any of this. I just plop myself in front of my crap computer and type whatever comes to mind. Hopefully it works like this, though. I call it the "Boom Effect".
Chapter 10: The Invitation and the Letter of Responce
Kiara, Snape, and Malfoy arrived a few seconds before the owl hooted.
"Thank you so much....." Kiara mumbled, smiling at Snape. He game a crooked smirk back. Well, thats a smile enough. Malfoy glanced at her. He turned and walked out, as she did the same. They both had too many things going through their minds to talk to each other about it. She ran up to the common room, where Hermione, Harry, and Ron were waiting.
"Hi, Harry, has erm...Sirius sent a reply back?" Kiara asked as soon as the portrait door opened. She made sure no one else was in there.
"No...what happened?" Harry asked. Kiara explained every single detail. From the vision, what Snape said.
"My Dad was one of your Mum's best friends?" Harry exclaimed.
"And my Dad liked your Mum?" Ron asked.
"Yes, the way it is with me and you. Like I said, my Mum made all four of them, and Snape and Dumbledore, promise they would watch over me!" Kiara said.
"Well, of course my Dad wouldnt beable to. Snape already said he was..." Harry began.
"And did you ever see Prof. Lupin or Sirius in your first or second year?" Hermione asked.
"....oh my goodness! I forgot until now! It was really stormy one night, and I looked out my window here, and I saw a massive dog in the yards outside! Wasnt Sirius a dog?" Kiara asked. They nodded.
"So..obviously he watched you ...well, maybe..."Harry said.
"What did Prof. Lupin look like?" Kiara asked. They explained him.
"Did you ever see a man like that?" Ron asked.
"Actually....I think so. I had different classes most the time, I took the harder ones first, and I am now taking the advanced ones as well, but with your class year...I remember a guy by that detail walking up to me in the hall of my first year, and he said something like, 'how are you getting along? doing fine this holiday, I hope'. Thats all he said. It could have been anyone." Kiara said.
"Odd....well,...my Dad never watched over you, I dont think..." Ron mumbled.
"Yes he did Ron. At least, last year he did. He was here for the final battle in the Triwizard Tournament. Im sure he caught sight of her." Hermione said.
"But that was after Christmas." Harry pointed out.
"Maybe he forgot, or was too ashamed to tell my Mum he vowed to the girl he used to love to protect her daughter." Ron suggested.
"Actually...no." A voice said. They spun around to see Fred and George walking over.
"How much did you hear?!" Ron asked, bewildered.
"Most of it." Fred said. They sat down as well.
"What do you mean, no?" Hermione asked.
"Dad told us all about it. He said he wouldnt beable to watch over her the whole time, so since Percy was so stuck up on work, he asked us, to be mature enough to watch her." George said.
"I thought you knew hardly anything of the curse?" Ron asked.
"We lied. We have sworn to dad, to make sure she didnt find out too much, and maybe it wouldnt happen to her. He really really liked her Mum....there was day about 13 years ago Dad was crying over something huge, but he refused to tell any of us...." Fred said.
"Ugh, I was 2...how would I remember. You two were 5, and Percy was 6. Bill and Charlie MIGHT remember..." Ron mumbled.
"Well, of course you wont remember, but it was because he found out Mrs. Draten died. He knew it would happen SOME day, he just prayed it didnt. Along with liking her, she probably was his best friend." Fred said.
"Did Dad tell you EVERYTHING?" Ron asked, scowling.
"Most of it. He said he would tell you sometime at Hogwarts, once we graduated. Besides, she already has four people including us watching over her." George said. That concluded the conversation for the night. It was getting really late.
**
The next morning was the weekend. It was currently December 18th. 7 days till her death.(Maybe) The Yule Ball was in 2 days, after the weekend was over. Everyone around the school seemed fidgety, most of them nervous of the ball, but...there was a certain 4 teenagers that had other things on their mind. Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Kiara all sat in the common room. They were silent, pondering upon the curse subject.
"We arent getting anything done here, lets go to the library." Hermione said.
"Lets calm down. We know everything we could possibly know. All we can do now is wait. Anyway, Harry is really expectant for Sirius to reply, and until then, we cant do anything." Ron said. They all agreed upon that. But still...
"I am going to go walk around." Kiara said.
"We will go with you." Harry said.
"No, I just want to take a walk. I will be back soon." Kiara said. With that, she left.
"Where are you going?" The fat lady asked.
"Anywhere...I just need out." Kiara mumbled. She ran off. She needed to go somewhere. She couldnt stand the curse. Everyone just kept talking about it. Ron was right, she knew enough. She didnt want to know anymore. Much less, talk of it.
She ran down the spiral staircase, and right into somebody.
"Im so sorry!" She exclaimed. Then he turned around.
"Kiara!" Malfoy exclaimed.
"Hi Draco." She said. Crabbe and Goyle were with him.
"You are on first name basis with each other?" Goyle questioned. Which was probably the first time she ever heard him question Malfoy. Actually, it was the first time she ever heard him speak.
"Yes, and I hope there is no problem with that?" He asked, glaring at Goyle.
"Not at all." Goyle said, gulping.
"Then I assume it is not a problem you two leave immediatly, for we wish to be alone?" Malfoy asked them.
"That wouldnt be a problem either." Crabbe said. That was the first time she ever heard HIM speak. With that, they ran up the spiral staircase.
"Sorry about them. Their mouths are more trouble than themselves." He said, looking at her.
"Oh. It wasnt a problem." She mumbled quietly. She felt very awkward in front of him now. Before, only she knew about them meant to be. But now, he knew...and it just felt wierd. He seemed the same way, for a long uncomfortable silence followed afterwards.
"...Erm....can you explain the curse to me a little? I know most of it, but Im pretty confused with the bits I dont know." He finally said. She sighed. She didnt want to talk about it, true, but they both needed to talk about it...with each other. And so she began. They decided to walk around the school and discuss it. About an hour later, their legs were tired, her voice grew slightly hoarse, and she was done explaining it. They also were trapped. They had ended up walking up the changing stairs, and they swung up to the entrance to the third floor corridor. And Malfoy knew what was up there, from hearing the story from Snape. Kiara knew, from Harry. So they had sat down on the stairs.
"And...thats pretty much it." She said, ending it.
"So...why doesnt Dumbledore just give us the antidote now?" Draco asked.
"I dont know..." Kiara mumbled. She wondered why she never thought of that. Or why Dumbledore hasnt given them it. Obviously he has made it before, so he should know the ingredients......
Another silence followed. Then Draco moved down a stair, so they were sitting on the same one. He glanced at her.
"........Are you busy on Monday?" He asked finally.
"Well...lets see....we have school....oh. Thats the day of the ball." Kiara mumbled, looking at him with wide eyes.
"Yes." Malfoy said.
"Oh. You knew that. Thats....why you asked...." Kiara mumbled. She felt her face go red, and her heart beat quicken. And she got all tingly all over.
"If you want, and er...I mean, if you arent going already...with anyone...I...er,....it would be nice...if....erm....." Draco trailed on. His normally pale face also had a tinted redness to it. Kiara couldnt help but giggle. He was trying so hard to get it out.
"Oh. Your laughing.....I understand.....I wouldnt want to go with me either..." Draco said, frowning.
"No! I was laughing because you looked....erm....cute.....when you were trying to get it out. But....I DO want to go with you." Kiara said.
"Really?!" He asked, actually SMILING.
"Yeah! I.....erm.....like you...I would have asked if you didnt..." Kiara mumbled.
"Thats really really good news." Draco said, smiling widely now. He too, was very red in the face by now. He grabbed her hand, and put his arm around her. She leaned onto his shoulder with her head.
"Things seem calmer when were together." Kiara said, sighing, with a smile. Then she frowned with a thought. She was wondering if Draco really liked her....or if it was just the curse. Little did she know, he was wondering the same thing. Eventually, the stairs moved back to normal, so they stood, and walked down them. Then it was time to split up, and go through the seperate halls.
"Well....see you at the ball.....bye..." He said. He leaned in, and kissed her on the cheek. She hugged him, and they split apart. They kept poking their heads over their shoulders to see each other walking away.
**
She held her cheek as she entered the Gryffindor common room. But she took her hand off, and acted as if nothing happened.
"What took you so long?" Harry asked, while Ron and Hermione looked as worried as him.
"Oh...I erm...got stuck on the changing stairs. So I waited." Kiara mumbled.
"Oh. Well, we were scared you fainted somewhere, or something." Hermione said. Kiara took a seat on the couches with them. Then there was a short silence.
"Hi!" Ginny cried happily, breaking the silence.
"Hello Ginny." Ron grumbled. The rest of them said hello as well.
"I just got asked to the Ball by Seamus Finnegan!" She cried.
"Are you serious?" Ron asked, laughing hysterically.
"What did you say?" Hermione asked.
"I told him yes!" Ginny said. Ron stopped laughing.
"Why? Go with someone your own age!" Ron said, glaring.
"Well excuse me! But I do believe you liked Kiara a while ago! And she is not your age! So I can go with who ever I want!" Ginny said, grinning.
"Well..that was a while ago. Anyway, I asked Padma and she said yes." Ron said.
"Oh! Thats great Ron!" Kiara said, smiling.
"What about the rest of you?" Ginny asked.
"Well, Harry asked me awhile ago..." Hermione said, blushing.
"Oh. Kiara? Anyone ask you?" Ginny asked.
'Dang them. Dang all the nosy people in the World.' Kiara thought, as she turned a dark shade of red. She could lie. But no. She couldnt stop the blushing which gave it away.
"Tell us who asked you!" Hermione said, laughing.
"I cant!" Kiara exclaimed.
"Oh come on! Its okay! We wont be mean about it!" Ron said.
"Yeah, we all told who we were going with!" Harry said. She gulped. She knew they WOULD be mean though.
"......malfoyaskedmeearlierandIsaidyes." She said quickly and quietly.
"Okay....slow down. And talk louder." Ginny said, laughing.
"I said.....Malfoy asked me earlier...and I said yes" She said, wincing.
There was no expressions. No screams. No smiles. Nothing. Well, except the fact all their jaws were dropped.
"Malfoy? DRACO Malfoy?" was all that Ginny could say. She shook her head disapproovingly, and walked back to her room.
"Come on you guys. Say something." Kiara said.
"Well, sorry, I just didnt expect him to ask you. But....you two ARE meant to be...so it makes sense." Hermione said. Harry nodded.
"Ron.....please respond to this.." Kiara said. He was glaring at the floor now.
"Dont take it out on the floor." Kiara said, attempting to get his attention again.
"Why Malfoy?" He asked through clenched teeth.
"We are meant to be, no matter what we do! Besides, I like him! And he said he liked me!" Kiara said, glaring now. He wasnt being fair. She had a right to like who ever she pleased.
"You only like him because the curse is making you. And he only likes you because the curse is making him. Its not like you two REALLY ever had feelings for each other. And its not like you ever will." He said. That was enough. She already was worried about that...she didnt need to hear that. It was too harsh.
"There are real feelings! I wont believe there isnt! Something major is happening on Christmas! My death, or the loss of the love! Either way, there are real feelings that cause that to be!" Kiara said, crying. She ran up the stairs to her room.
"Ron. That was really harsh. She probably is already worried about that." Hermione said.
"Bugger off Hermione, I dont need your preaching right now." Ron said. Hermione sighed, and ran up to calm Kiara down.
"I suppose you hate me as well?" Ron asked Harry.
"No. That was harsh, I admit that." Harry said.
"Im sorry I said it, but I liked her so much, and to know I couldnt be with her because of MALFOY....its just too overwhelming." Ron said.
"I think it would be too. But its probably very overwhelming for her and him though, with all they know." Harry said.
"Wait, Harry, arent you worried...because you are supposed to die too?" Ron asked. Everyone seemed to have forgotten it.
"A little. I havent thought of it much. If they take the antidote though, he wont come. He knows Im here, and he is just hoping to finish me off while he is here, killing them." Harry said.
"What if they dont take the antidote?" Ron asked.
"I would think they would. I know I would rather live. But if they dont for some odd reason, then I can tell Dumbledore. I think he is going to be in the common room overnight anyway, just to make sure everthing is okay." Harry said.
"Lets hope so." Ron said.
"Yeah." Harry said.
"Do you think I should go apologize?" Ron asked. Harry nodded. They stood up, when they heard tapping on the glass of the window. They glanced over and saw Hedwig.
"Hedwig!" Harry said, letting her in. He grabbed the note from her, and pet her a bit.
It read,
Harry-
I hope you all are well. I will come tonight. Bring with you your friends, and the Draten girl. I will meet you in the common room at 1 AM. Make sure there is no one else except you four. See you then.
-Sirius
Harry read it to Ron afterwards.
"Okay, tonight." Ron said. Right then, Kiara rushed down the stairs with Hermione. She looked calmed down.
"Oh Harry! Hedwig came!" Hermione said, seeing the owl.
"Yeah." Harry said. He read the letter to them.
"I need to talk to him about him being friends with my Mum. I wish he would have said something before." Kiara said.
"Im sorry Kiara. I believe the feelings are real." Ron said after that.
"Its okay. But I dont believe they are. I am so worried about that right now. I know I like him. But....he might not truely like me." Kiara said. Then Ron told her and Hermione about his and Harry's discussion about his death.
"Well, Harry is protected, no matter what happens, even though we WILL take the antidote." Kiara said, "Oh yeah! Earlier, I was with Draco, thats why it took so long, we talked about it, but he brought to my attention why we just dont have the antidote now, before its too close to Christmas."
"Yeah, I wonder why Professor Dumbledore hasnt given it to you." Hermione said. Obviously they all hadnt thought of that.
A/n- Yeah. This chapter was mainly explaining things. Do you think when Im done with this fic, if I should make one with Makenzie? Like make the story of how her and Lucius fell in love, and how Arthur Weasley loved her, and so on? I appreaciate the reviews, but still, I could use a whole bundle more. There isnt that many for this many chapters. Im not sure how many till its over. But its a week till Christmas, in this fic. So Im not sure if that means 7 more chapters or what.
A/n- I like the way this is going. Im not like, planning any of this. I just plop myself in front of my crap computer and type whatever comes to mind. Hopefully it works like this, though. I call it the "Boom Effect".
