A/N: New chappie, yay me.
Cody, one of her old friends from daycare, was picking up pots and pans.
He gave them an apologetic smile. Then he saw Krissie and began to remember her.
"Hey!"
"Wow…you're taller." She said, grinning.
"And you're…not much taller." He replied. He obviously remembered how Krissie hated being the shortest kid her age.
"Ha ha. Very funny."
She hugged him tightly and didn't let go until he made a fake choking sound.
"You two know each other?" Fred asked.
"Yeah, we were friends in daycare."
Krissie had always been rather shy. Her brother and sister had a lot of friends, but she really only had Cody.
Later she met Harry Potter, and some mudblood named Hermione.
She had heard about Harry Potter before. But…she thought he had been dead. Her father hated him. From what Krissie had heard, he was a terrible person.
"Nice to meet you." He said to her. He started to shake her hand and she jerked away. She looked at Fred.
"I don't want to talk to him."
"Kristen, be nice." Angelina said to her. Krissie shook her head. She walked over to the other side of the room. She knew that he was Cody's father. But Cody was adopted. So she had nothing against him. It wasn't his fault.
"Sorry, Harry." Fred said.
"That's okay. I know who she was raised by. I just thought that at least Ginny would-"
"No," Krissie cut him off, "my mother barely had any thing to do with my upbringing. She took care of tommy and Andy though. Would you rather have them?"
"I'm guessing you spent most of your time with Tom then, right?" the mudblood asked.
"Yes."
"He must have chosen her as his heir." Harry whispered.
"Um…hello? I can hear you! And yes, he did." Krissie said proudly. They all stared at her. She wondered what she'd said that had freaked them out.
"Has he taught you any magic?"
"Oh, yeah. Loads. Wanna see?"
They told her to wait there with Cody, and they went to another room to talk.
"Hold on." She whispered. She got up and pressed her ear against the door.
"Well…we can't let her go back. He's already got her brainwashed." Someone said.
"She'll grow up to be just like him. I don't think the child is evil…but she'll turn out that way eventually."
Kristen gasped angrily.
"Sorry, Cody, I gotta go."
"Why?"
"They don't even trust me! They all lied to me! I hate them. I'm really sorry."
"What if you get hurt. Maybe I should go with you."
"No, that would be bad. Your place is here." Then she suddenly thought of what might happen if her father discovered this place, "Or maybe you should leave but don't come with me. It's not safe."
She got up and went to the door. After saying goodbye to Cody again, she left.
She walked for two solid hours, completely lost. Maybe this had been a bad idea. She wished she had never met any of those people. She wished Malfoy hadn't tried to kidnap her. She wished a lot of things.
She didn't want to go home though.
A/N: yeah this is short but I didn't have much time. And I'm gonna be gone for a whole week, see ya. Please review.
