Chapter Six: Confession
Kae growled to herself and waved around her quill uneasily. She was sitting over an empty piece of parchment titled "Giants". She looked around and saw other Slytherin's scratching around on their parchments, occasionally looking up to think.
She noticed someone sitting next to her and then lowered her eyes back to the piece of paper.
"Are you pissed off with me because of the fairy thing?" Malfoy asked. Kae looked up into his eyes and then back down at her paper.
"Not really" she mumbled.
"Ah?" Malfoy opened his inkbottle. "What did I do then?"
"Nothing."
"Er… okay. So why are you being – avoiding me?" he said and titled his piece of paper "Giants" too. Kae glanced over to his piece of paper and then grabbed her quill.
"I'm not" she said, not too loud. Malfoy had bent over his paper and was now writing. Kae dipped her quill into her inkbottle and copied what he was writing, occasionally changing words.
"You are too. You've been ignoring me for the last few days" he told her. Kae stopped as he dipped his quill into his inkbottle. "It's kind of strange since you were walking around with me in the first few. Till the fairy thing that is." Kae blushed but then shook her head.
"It's because – because." She stopped. "Why do you care? Aren't you supposed to be unpleasant, mean and cold to anyone but yourself?" This time Malfoy blushed and lowered his head to continue writing. Somehow both of them were talking in hushed voices, though his was no need as everyone else was talking with raised voices.
"Er…" Malfoy said and finished a sentence. Kae finished the same sentence. "Yeah…" he said slowly. "Have you done any of the other homework?" he asked changing the subject. Kae grinned to herself.
"Yeah" she said and pushed over two pieces of parchment. "Potions and Transfiguration."
"Since they're the only two subjects you can do" Malfoy said smirking. Kae elbowed him. But it was true.
Only yesterday she had put, when building a special terrarium in Herbology, put two plants together that obviously did not fit together. The day before she had been trying to copy down history dates and mixed them up, so that in 1704 the Ministry of Magic began using computers and 1980 Gringotts Bank had been established. In all of the other lessons, Kae seemed to making a fool of herself and her superior attitude was sinking.
"Wolfsberg was so different" Kae mumbled.
"Yeah, yeah. We know. Wolfsberg was so much better" Malfoy said waving around his quill. Kae quickly copied what he had written. Malfoy looked at her and then pushed over his essay on giants. She to avenge herself moved her Potions essay across.
"That wasn't what I was going to say, but think that, and all is fine" she mumbled.
"What?" Malfoy crouched back over his essay and began copying her explanation on how and when to properly use a Happiness Potion.
"Nothing."
"Tell me" Malfoy said. Kae put her quill down, not wanting to write anymore. She stood up and packed her stuff away.
"I'd rather not talk about it" she said. "You can keep the essay until your finished" she added and then left to her room. Malfoy watched her leave. What had she wanted to say? What was so different about Wolfsberg? Except that it had stainless steal knives that could cut bones and that the walls were built perfectly.
Kae threw her stuff into her trunk, as always not to concerned about anything breaking or dog-ears in her books.
"Idiot!" she growled and fell back onto her bed. It was true. Wolfsberg had been different. She had always successfully been able to do her homework and lessons by using other students, but here… She couldn't her thoughts were always somewhere else and she didn't really understand why.
Why was Malfoy always interrupting her thoughts? She tried so hard not to disappoint him with what she was doing and she ended up messing it all up. She had wanted to seem strong, brave and superior but it had been all for the dogs because every time she did something he crossed her mind. It was always Malfoy here, Malfoy there in her mind.
Maybe she should run away again and then she might be able to go to Beauxbaton. She could speak French. In Wolfsberg the History of Magic teacher spoke French with them. And so did the Care of Magical Creatures teacher, well half the time.
And she'd always wanted to live in France, even though she didn't really like eating snails and frogs legs.
She sat up and let the thought about running away cross her mind again. Yes, she'd run away and be thrown out. Then she'd tell her parents to send her to Beauxbaton where she could catch up her superior attitude and hopefully forget Malfoy.
"Je deteste l'idea, mais je dois le essayer" she said testing her French. Sounded terrifying but it was okay to start with. She sighed. "And now for the planning. She looked at her watch. "After Quidditch practice." She smiled. And she knew someone in Beauxbaton who could compete with her in Quidditch, someone like Harry. She cringed her nose and then jumped out of bed to look for her Quidditch robes.
What a baaaad girl… Liking Malfoy *whistles* and running away? Oh nuu…
It's less than last time, sorry but I couldn't think of anything else to write… but you got two chapters, take that ^^
I hope my criticizists (if that even is a word) if they are reading this, find it better now. But since three chapters make you know everything about someone…
Hell we didn't know that she like Malfoy till now… well I did ^^
