.Chapter Seven.
Kelly stumbled out of her dorm, rubbing the black bags under her eyes from not sleeping. Her usually sleek blonde hair was ruffled, and her eyes were still tearstained and depressed. She looked in the mirror, and did a simple charm, fixing her once sleepy appearance and ruffled hair. She flopped into a black armchair, missing the wakeup call from Draco she usually received.
He hadn't turned up.
She looked at the class schedule she had for that day.
Friday
9 o' clock- Third Year Potions
Half past Ten- Sixth Year Double Herbology
12 o' clock-LUNCH
1 o' clock- Third Year Charms
Half past 2- Sixth Year DADA
Kelly shuddered. Potions first. That meant Draco. Then Herbology. That meant Mati poking into what he was bound to have noticed by second lesson and trying to make Katie laugh as well. Katie would be with her in Herbology though…not that she'd necessarily be talking or anything. She hadn't seen Katie this upset since her cat was killed. Then after that was Charm, Draco again, then Mati again.
"I can't put up with that…" Kelly sighed, resting her head on her hand as she curled up in her armchair.
Her sister dawdled out of her room, her usually silky ebony hair was tangled and strewn everywhere, and her eyes were strangely dilated and fuzzy.
"…Katie…what have you done to yourself?!?" Kelly asked, looking up at her sister more carefully, her head snapping up.
"Ouch! Flippin' hell!" Kelly shrieked, her hair caught on the bracelet from Tyler. The sudden shock of pain made her wince and she continued swearing as she untangled her bracelet from the small knot in her hair.
Her sister sat down across from her and stared straight ahead dizzily, not seeming to hear Kelly.
Kelly stood and walked over to her sister, shaking her gently.
"Katie?" she asked carefully. Something about her appearance and the atmosphere around her sister wasn't quite right.
Still no answer from Katie.
"Oh heck…not again…"
Kelly jumped up and ran into Katie's room, finding the small black bottle she knew she'd find.
"Nearly empty…bloody hell…"
She surveyed her sister's room carefully, before picking up the necklace her sister never parted with. Taking both with her, she stormed back into their Common Room.
"What are these?!?" She snapped, holding both in front of her sister's face.
No reply. Katie continued staring straight ahead, looking half drunk, half very very sick. She was shaking slightly, her hands especially, and her eyes were getting cloudier by the minute.
"Jeez Katie, don't make me have to deal with you as well…first Draco and now you…" Kelly sighed.
"Mati would be upset if he found out you've taken this off." Kelly continued, dangling the necklace in front of Katie' face, hoping to get her to talk before she could scold her about the contents of the black bottle.
Katie's eyes momentarily fixed themselves on the necklace, before she looked up at her sister wearily, as if she knew what was coming.
Kelly sat herself on the arm rest of Katie's chair, dropping her necklace into her hands, and, while Katie fumbled with it, trying to pick it up, Kelly opened the bottle and sniffled it slightly, thoughtful for a second as Katie tried her hardest to get control over her movements again.
"What have I said about this Katie?" Kelly asked in a dangerously low voice. Katie looked up at Kelly, before looking at the bottle.
"That's mine…Kelly…you shouldn't have that…bad for you…" Katie garbled.
"It's bad for you too!!!" Kelly snapped, and threw the bottle against the wall, making it shatter and the black gooey substance inside ran down the wall, before disappearing right in front of their eyes.
"That cost a lot Kelly…you ruined it…I need it…" Katie stuttered, her hands reaching out towards it desperately.
"Katharine Darikka it's bad for you! How could you do this to yourself?!?" Kelly yelled, making Katie look her in the eyes. She whimpered and pulled away, hiding her face under the black robe she had dragged out of her room with her, and stayed hidden under the robe, crying softly.
"Oh bloody hell…" Kelly snapped. "That's right, leave me with my problems and yours as well…real nice sister." Kelly pulled herself away from her sister's chair and walked back in her room, throwing her things around before she found her uniform. She changed into it, and contemplated the thought of just going down for breakfast and not bothering about classes.
'But the teachers would probably see me at breakfast and wonder why I'm not at classes…I guess both of us can't skip school…'
"Damn you Katie!" Kelly glared. She'd have to go to her classes because her stupid sister had to go get totally drunk or whatever that stuff did to you.
She stormed out of her room again, now in her uniform with her bag.
"I'll consider bringing you some breakfast." Kelly considered allowed, and after receiving no response at all from Katie, walked out of their room.
Kelly made her way down to the Great Hall, her ankle boots clicking all the way.
After a quick breakfast at the opposite end of the Slytherin table, far away from Draco and Mati, making sure they didn't see her, she took a few pieces of toast and a glass of orange juice, and, after casting a warming charm on the toast and a chilling charm on the orange juice, took them back up to her sister. Katie hadn't moved from where she was when she'd left her, so she left them on the table in front of her and pulled off the robe.
"Pull yourself together yeh? I brought you food, so eat." Kelly said, frustrated. She was used to Katie always being the one who pulled though, not caring what happened to them, only caring about getting them both into the future.
"Whatever…" Katie mumbled.
Kelly smiled. It was progress. Maybe by second lesson her head would be clear once again.
Kelly took a deep breath, and went off to potions…
Katie pulled herself up to stand after Kelly left. She stumbled over to a window, and stared out. The Quidditch pitch was just in sight, well, a small tip of it anyway.
Katie drew a shuddering breath and stumbled through a small doorway, into the small bathroom that the prefects used.
She splashed water on her face, and shook her head to clear it.
"Bloody 'ell…" she muttered to herself, before awkwardly walking back to her chair, and sank into it again, taking a sip of her juice before falling into a doze once more.
Kelly walked silently into her potions class, her silvery blue eyes scanning the class, before she took a seat in the corner, on the opposite side to where Draco and she usually sat.
The rest of the class filled in, and Draco gave her a careful, almost wishful look, before taking his seat silently.
"Well class. Today I will test your truth serums, and then……Miss Williams. Is there any reason why you're not in your allocated seat?" Professor Snape asked, fixing her with a greasy stare as he walked towards her.
"I was wondering if I could sit here today sir…" Kelly answered, avoiding Draco's gaze.
"Of course you may wonder it…but the answer will still be no, and you will still have to take your place beside Mr Malfoy, like you always do." Snape turned and walked back to the front of the class.
Kelly didn't move.
"Is there, by any chance, something wrong with your legs Miss Williams?" Snape asked, as some in the class snickered.
"No Professor Snape…" Kelly answered, and, sighing, moved to sit next to Draco.
If Potions class had been bad, then Charms was like pulling teeth. Professor Flitwick, believing that his class was coming along quickly with their charming of objects, decided to move them along with a Truth Charm. Funny, how, when Kelly wanted to fib the most, she was going to be under a truth spell…with the one person she wanted to fib to.
"Do you want to go under the charm first or should I?" Draco asked quietly, his eyes glued on her face, though she refused to meet his gaze.
"I don't care," She said curtly, pretending that she was talking to an annoying Gryff instead of the only person, besides her sister, that she loved.
"Fine! I'll put the charm on you," He said, taking out his wand and pointing it at her. She closed her eyes, trying to ignore the anxiety growing in her gut. What if he asked if she loved him???
She heard him mutter the charm and her body suddenly felt light, as though a huge burden had been lifted. It felt unnatural and peaceful at the same time.
She opened her eyes and saw Draco looking over the parchment Professor Flitwick had given them. It was a list of possible questions to see if the charm had worked. He looked up, holding her gaze as she tried not to cry. She could see pain in those silver eyes that she had caused.
"Alright, it says I'm supposed to ask you questions you would normally lie about."
"Ok, then ask," She said quickly, making sure her voice was void of emotion.
"Have you ever been in love?"
"WHAT??"
"You heard me. Now answer the question."
"Yes," She said quietly, averting her gaze.
"With who?" She had been expecting the question but it still made her loss her breath.
"That's none of your business."
"You're supposed to be answering the question truthfully."
"I am! It's none of your business who I love!"
Draco forced her to meet his gaze, "It is if it's me."
She opened her mouth to protest but was cut off by Professor Flitwick. It was for the best anyway. She couldn't have lied and told him it wasn't true.
"Alright, class, I want you to use the counter-acting charm to stop the spell and then repeat the charm on your partner."
Sighing, Kelly used to charm to rid her of the effects and then pointed her want at Draco. He wore a smug smirk on his face that made her blood boil. It took all her willpower not to use a charm to make his face disappear.
"Kelly! Wait the bloody hell up!!"
Sighing, she spun on her heel, coming face to face with Mati. Another sigh rose to her lips, this time one of relief. She was glad it wasn't Draco.
"Sorry," She mumbled as Mati fell into step with her. She ignored the fact that his brow was furrowed.
"What's going on, Kelly?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" She said slowly, surprised that Mati was concerned. He had always been her friend, but he and Katie were the close ones.
"You and Draco…what's going on?"
"Nothing…it's nothing."
"Kelly, don't lie to me. I saw you sit at the other end of the table at breakfast. You're avoiding him," Mati stopped her, looking down to meet her gaze.
"Mati, it's nothing. Please believe me," She hated the fact that she sounded desperate. Showing desperation and weakness never suited Kelly Williams.
"Fine. Now, I want to go flying."
"Have fun."
Mati laughed, "You're coming with me."
"What?!?!"
"Kelly, I'm not going to let you go up to your dorm room and mope until dinner. I'm going to take you flying."
"No!!" She practically screamed, crossing her arms. She was determined not to go flying.
Kelly sighed, one leg over either side of a close-to-brand-new broomstick. So much for being determined not to fly.
Mati stood on the opposite side of her, looking expectantly at her.
"Are you going to kick off the ground or are we going to stand here?" He asked, the corners of his eyes wrinkling from laughter.
"I haven't flown in a while."
"How long, pray tell, is a while in the land of Kelly Williams??"
"Three years," She mumbled, ignoring the look of shock on Mati's face.
"Three years! You haven't flown a broomstick in three bloody years??"
"Well, what do you expect? Once you make a kid fall off a broomstick, headmasters usually don't trust you unless you have both feet on the ground."
"Do you remember how to fly??"
She glared at Mati before kicking off the ground and zooming upward, marveling in the cool rush of wind through her hair. Mati soon reached her side throwing a club at her.
"I'm not going to smash your skull in, no matter how much you want me to," Kelly said as she eyed the club uncertainly.
Mati grinned as he pulled a medium sized black ball out of his pocket, and said ball seemed to be fighting him as he did so.
"You've got to be kidding me. I'm not playing with a bludger!!"
"Yeah you are. We're playing Quidditch," Mati let the bludger go and it started flying around the pitch, swooping and diving rapidly.
"We can't! Besides, you can't play with only two people," She grinned smugly, knowing she had won.
"I know that, which is why I invited a third person. Still unfair, but it makes the game more exciting."
"A third person?? Mati, I swear, I'll kill you if it's…"
You guys starting without me??" Came a voice from the ground. She snapped her head down and glared at the sight of Draco. She was going to kill Mati!!!!
"Kelly was just telling me how happy she was to get the chance to play with us," Mati yelled down towards Draco, who was mounting his broomstick. Her eyes narrowed and she was about to scream at the boy next to her, but a sound invaded her ears that resembled a gremlin. She turned quickly and saw the bludger coming right at her. Instinctively, she swung the club and sighed in relief when the bludger went sailing in the opposite direction of her head.
"Have you done this before, Kelly??"
She turned again, this time seeing Draco's face up close instead of from forty feet below her.
"It doesn't take that much skill," She said through gritted teeth before urging her broomstick forward. She stopped when both Mati and Draco appeared as little specks in the distance.
She closed her eyes, trying to ignore the fact that she was forty feet off the ground. She had never liked flying, but after what happened with Dennis Warmings, she had steered clear of them. They had always made her feel uneasy and extremely unsafe.
Her thoughts her interrupted when she heard the sound of two brooms stopping short.
"Why'd you zoom off??" Mati asked innocently, but she saw through it. She knew he knew she wanted to be far, far away from Draco.
"Oh, no reason. Just felt like flying."
Mati nodded.
"Ok, Mati, Draco, why don't you two go to the other side of the field and hit the bludger my way…just for fun," Kelly said, fighting the urge to smile as both boys turned and flew to the opposite side of the pitch. Suddenly the bludger came soaring towards her and she hit it as hard as she could. She laughed as Draco was forced to duck as the black ball nearly decapitated him.
"You three get down here!"
The voice had been carried from the ground and she looked down. In doing so, she saw a guy with the worst teeth she had ever seen. He looked like a bloody beaver.
Seeing that both boys were flying towards the ground, Kelly allowed herself to follow suit. She landed before either of them, thoroughly creeped out by the arrogant stare the beaver was giving her.
"What do you want Flint?" Draco asked icily. She almost laughed; glad she wasn't the only one not to like this guy.
"We need someone to stand in for our beater who was injured last game. I want her," He pointed at her as though she was a dog or something.
"Excuse me! I'm not playing Quidditch!" She said loudly, glaring at the beaver named Flint.
"Yes you are. Practice tomorrow morning. If you aren't on the pitch, you'll regret it," Flint said, his voice lacking emotion. After he had left the pitch, Mati patted her shoulder.
"Hey, I think he likes you. That's the nicest I've heard him speak to anyone all year," Mati said, a smile hinting his face.
"Welcome to the team," Draco said.
'·.·.·.·.·' '·.·.·.·.·' '·.·.·.·.·' '·.·.·.·.·' '·.·.·.·.·' '·.·.·.·.·' '·.·.·.·.·' '·.·.·.·.·' '·.·.·.·.·' '·.·.·.·.·' '·.·.·.·.·' '·.·.·.·.·'
What's Katie done to herself? All over a Gryffindor?!?!?
And Kelly, couldn't avoid Quidditch...or Draco...will she get back together with him? Let's hope so...
So whatcha think so far? Flame are welcome, and Reviews we beg you for!!!
