The first thought that ran through my mind was get off me you perv.
Second was why am I not trying to get a way?
The third thought was the one that scared me the most, Wow, this is amazing… Wait, what?
I pulled him off my lips and stared at him for what seem like forever. He seemed to feel it too. Well this made things complicated.
"Uh… umm… I have to go," What was I thinking? I can't believe I let him kiss me! I can't tell anyone! What are they going to think? Wait, he is my fiancé.
Lucius POV
I can't stand her! Who does she think she is, making me wait for her?
I was not in the mood to deal with her rudeness, but we had a deal and I kept my end of it, technically…
Finally, "Took you long enough," I smirked at her.
"You know girls, we take forever to get ready," she mumbled something under her breath, "So what did you want to talk about?"
I led her around the corner, "I wanted to talk to you about our deal, I kept my end of the deal, now it's time for you to keep yours." I figured she wouldn't like it, but she was going to have to learn to obey me.
"Excuse me! You didn't keep your end of the deal, you were supposed to wait until I told my friends before you went and told the whole school!" She was yelling, but I wasn't going to show her that I cared. She was going to be the perfect fiancé and wife, no matter what she wanted.
I kept my cool, "I only told my friends and it must have leaked out to the school. I had nothing to do with it," I smiled to myself, feeling quite pleased.
"Bullshit, you may not have told the school, but it was your fault they said anything!" She was not like other Slytherin girls. They would never talk to me like this.
I was fighting to keep my composure, but I was not going to stand for this, "Technically speaking, I kept my end of the deal, so you will do what I want!"
"I will not be your Slytherin bimbo! Unlike some of the Slytherin girls I have feelings and a mind, so I don't give in very easily," venom was seething through her words. I knew she was a good dueler and I wasn't sure if I could take her, though I would never admit it.
Then a thought ran through my mind why is it that she resists me? "What is it about me that you hate so much?"
"Let me see… Maybe it's your arrogance, the way you treat women, what you believe in, or maybe it's the fact that you expect me to become your mindless toy!"
No one had ever told me flat out what they hated about me or at least someone that mattered if they like me, I didn't mean to let the sadness show on my face, but I could not help it.
I heard someone coming down the hall and I did the first thing that popped into my head. I pulled her closer to me, put one hand her hips and other on her cheek and kissed her.
I figured she pull away immediately or injure my in the family jewels but she didn't.
At first she seemed like she might pull away, but she settled into the kiss and didn't resist. For probably having her first kiss this summer, she seemed rather experienced. It wasn't a perfect kiss but it was satisfactory. Oh who am I kidding, she was good.
She pulled away and stepped back, "Uh… umm… I have to go," and with that she ran down the hall.
Katie's POV
I ran back to the Gryffindor common room as fast as I could. The world was spinning around me. I didn't even have to say the password for the Fat Lady to let me in, which is good because I couldn't even remember it.
I walked over to the couch, not watching to see if someone was there and flopped on the couch, with my hands still touching my lips.
I should have known that everyone was watching me and that my friends would have been waiting anxiously to hear what happened.
"Katie, are you ok. What did he do to you?" Arianna gasped, such a drama queen.
I was speechless; I was just staring at the ceiling trying to comprehend what just happened.
"Katie!" Lily screamed, "What did he do to you?" she probably thought he used the Cruciatus on me. That would have been a lot less complicated.
"He… he…he," I could barely get it out. I was so mortified.
"Did he hurt you? I swear I'll kill him!" James was pissed; it was times like these that made me really value him as a friend.
As much as I would have liked him to beat the shit out of Lucius, he didn't really have a reason. Except for the fact that he was an absolute git.
"No, he didn't hurt me," everyone stopped their fantasies about killing Lucius and looked at me.
"He didn't?" Alice was so shocked. I would have laughed at her if I wasn't so shocked myself, "He umm… he kissed me," I was still staring at the ceiling, not making eye contact with anyone.
"He what?" Marlene looked skeptical.
"There was someone coming and he kissed me. He was a lot better at it than you would think," Did I just say that out loud?
"HE WHAT?" everyone said it together. I finally looked at them. Some faces were consumed with terror, others jealousy (Arianna), shock was definitely a winner, and disgust (James, Sirius, and Remus).
The whole common room was now watching us, I couldn't help but blush. "Don't you all have things to do?"
"No…" said a sixth year, named Mathilda Hopkirk.
"Well find something!" Lily never raised her voice.
I am so going to get it.
"So he did hurt you?" Peter is such an idiot.
"No, he didn't hurt me. He just kissed me, I mean I guess that could be considered rape, but I wouldn't call it that. More like spontaneous lust," I shrugged, the shock had worn off a little.
"Did you kiss him back?" Arianna looked scared because James, Sirius and Remus all gave her murderous glares.
Aww, they care about me. They are so adorable.
As I was about to avoid the subject, a first year ran into the common room, "He has been… sighted," The boy was panting.
"Who has been sighted?" Mathilda asked the boy.
"Voldemort… he killed three muggles!" everyone gasped and some people started to cry, others screamed in terror, girls clung to their boyfriends, and single people (like myself and friends) ran to their friends for solace.
Voldemort has been threatening to attack for about three years now. His followers are called Death Eaters. Many of the Slytherins, including Lucius, have boasted about being a Death Eater. They think muggle-borns, half-bloods, and Muggles are beneath them. They consist of only Pure-bloods unless a person is extremely insane and wants to follow Voldemort.
"Are you sure?" Remus asked.
"It was in the Daily Prophet, here." The boy showed Remus the paper and his face became even grimmer than before. He passed the paper to me and I saw it was a Muggle family. I mother, father, and young girl, about ten.
Tears filled my eyes, then I heard a deep snarl from someone close, "I hope your happy, it's your fiancé's fault," Sirius was glaring at me. If looks could kill, I would have disintegrated right on the spot.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your fiancé's a Death Eater and they did this!" He was yelling at me for absolutely no reason.
"Will you stop bringing it up for two seconds? Merlin, it's none of your god damn business!" I was on my feet and ready to pounce. What was it about him that made me so angry so easily?
"It is when it involves people I care about, will you listen to yourself? He is such a good kisser, I am in love with Lucius Malfoy," he was trying to imitate my voice. I hated it when he did that; he was like an annoying little brother.
"I never said I was in love with him and what if I did? Would you stop being my friend because I did something you didn't like? That doesn't sound like a friend to me." We were having a glare off.
"Friends tell each other things. Especially important things like if they are engaged!"
"So that's what this is all about? You were mad that I didn't tell you, so you go off and tell the whole school and then practically call me a Death Eater!"
"You marry one, you are one!" I don't know what it was about that that made me want to cry, but it did. I guess a lot of things had been making me sad, so that was the tip of the ice berg.
I walked toward the girls' dormitories and stopped at the stairs and turned to face him, "I thought you of all people would understand, I guess I was wrong."
I ran up stares not waiting to see his reaction. I flopped on my bed and cried. Lily and the rest of the girls came up shortly and stayed with me the rest of the night.
…
I had woken up earlier than everyone else. It was around 5 a.m. and no one would be up for another two hours.
I knew I couldn't fall back asleep, so I decided to do something wonderful I had discovered over the summer, working out. Running specifically, it was kind of like flying except without actually being in the air.
I figured I would run around the perimeter and I would be done by 6:30. I threw on the first thing I saw, a yellow sports bra, and pink tank, with matching yellow shorts. You could spot me from a mile away, but I didn't care, I just wanted to run.
While running, I had time to think about my current situation. This took me a while, since I had a lot to think about. I started with my kiss with Lucius, then my fight with Sirius, and then if my parents would have made me marry Lucius. That is what I thought of most.
I thought back to when they were alive; everything was always fun and cheerful. They were the anti-pure-blood.
I looked a lot like my mother, well now I do. She was beautiful and my father was handsome. My grandparents weren't terrible, I truly loved them, but they weren't my parents.
I remember the day I found out they had been killed…
"Mommy? Daddy?" I yelled as I heard the door open from my room.
"No sweat heart, its Grandma and Grandpa. Come down stairs Katie, we need to talk to you!" my Grandma yelled up to me. Her voice seemed to be shaking, but she was trying to suppress it.
"I'm coming," I could feel something was wrong as soon as I saw the hoard of people in my living room, "What's going on Grandma?" I entered the room cautiously.
"Katie, we need to tell you something," my Grandma looked like she had been crying so my Grandpa was doing the talking, "It is about your parents,"
"What's wrong? Are they not coming back today?" my Grandma burst into tears as if my words had set off a trigger.
My Grandpa was comforting her, so he couldn't talk to me. He seemed to be afraid to look at me, "What's going on? TELL ME!" I screamed. They all looked at me with sadness in their eyes.
A man from the back of the room spoke out, "Your parents are were murdered."
…
Tears were threatening to fall and I would have let them if I hadn't heard the five minute warning bell to get to class.
I looked up in panic, that can't be right, "Accio, watch," a small pocket watch zoomed towards me and I caught it. 7:55.
What! No, no, no, no, no!
It would take me five minutes just to get back to the common room. The second day of school and I was already going to be late for class. To make matters worse, I had Transfiguration and if I was late McGonagall was going to kill me. She didn't like to admit that I was her favorite student. She actually decided to make my life harder.
I had to make a split second decision; either sit through a lecture for not wearing the proper uniform or get detention for being late to class.
I was so going to pay for this. I ran as fast as I could to Transfiguration. I was dogging people left and right, yelling for people to move.
"Katie, where were you to… what the?" Arianna was staring as I ran past her.
"I will explain later! See you in class!" I had two minutes and I was three minutes away.
I am so screwed!
I picked up my pace and I was running so fast everything was a blur. My eyes zeroed in on the door at the end of the hall way.
"I'M HERE!" I yelled as I skidded to a stop right in front of McGonagall.
"Yes you are. Ms. Brown, what are you wearing?" her eyes widened in shock.
I was standing there with sweat glistening across my chest (not an exaggeration) in my neon workout clothes clinging to my body and I had not realized how short my shorts were until I felt a draft.
"Long story, I went running to clear my head and well I lost track of time. I will explain more over coffee," I told you we were friends.
"Take a seat Ms. Brown. Detention, my office tonight," she gestured toward my assigned seat (next to Sirius) oh yay.
"Fine," I took my seat and pretended not to notice all of the stares.
Sirius didn't look at me the whole class, well if he did I didn't know it because I wasn't looking at him either.
I was finally able to go change during lunch, but by that time the damage was already done. I had explained myself to Professor McGonagall, my friends and most of Hogwarts.
"What were you thinking, showing up to class in that?" Oh Marlene, always the sensible one.
"I told you, it was either get detention for being late or get a lecture, in hind sight it probably wasn't that smart, but I barley had anytime."
They all rolled their eyes at me, "You so wanted the attention. I think every guy in the room was drooling," Arianna had to point that out.
"Yes, because that is exactly what I need right now. I have a murderous fiancé and everyone was drooling over me, that equals peace."
"Ok sarcasm queen, still you better be on all of the teachers good sides." Lily was always thinking about school.
"I know, I know, hey have you noticed that Sirius has been acting weird?"
"Yeah, well James kind of went off on him for yelling at you, he should be fine by tonight," Alice was so nonchalant about it.
"James did what? Where is he? I need to talk to him!" I was already searching the Hall for him.
"Ah over there," Alice pointed to James talking to some guys.
I ran straight forward and tackled him, "OI, what's your problem?"
"You are the best friend a person could have you know that?" It was more like I was yelling at him.
"Thanks, did you have to tackle me, though?" he moved uncomfortably under me.
"Well yes," I said as I got off of him, "You really are the best though, don't ever forget that," Smiled at him and gave him a hug.
As I pulled away, I spotted Sirius talking to some girls who were fawning all over him, "Go talk to him, make nice."
"Are you sure?"
Is he the cutest or what?
"Yeah, I will talk to him later." He smiled and walked over to him.
Is it bad that I still like Sirius, even though he is a complete ass? I know, but if you saw him, you would understand. We do have our moments, he can be really sweet. Ugh, Men…
Hello! I hope you all enjoyed the chapter! Please don't hate me for making Sirius such a jerk. It will be explained soon. Lucius and Katie, AHHH! It's their first kiss and I want to know what you think about it. Please review, I will love you all forever!
XOXO Miranda
