SMUT ALERT

Katherine

Meet me in the Gryffindor common room. Now.

I wonder what he wants to talk to me about. I hope it's nothing bad. I hope it's some good news. I crumbled up the piece of paper and put it in my drink, since I wasn't gonna drink anymore.

"Hey, you good?" Blaise asked.

"Yea I'm fine."

"When do we leave? I'm getting bored." Dessa asked.

"Now. We leave now."

"Finally." Cedric, Liv, Blaise, and Dessa said in unison.

"Blaise we should go to Slughorn and say our farewell."

"Ugh." He whined. "Do we have to?"

"Yes. Now come on."

We walked over to Slughorn who was busy talking to other Professors. Blaise and I looked at each other.

"Okay well he's busy so I'm just gonna go."

I pulled Blaise back. "No you're not. Stay here."

"Oh hello Ms. Riddle. Mr. Zabini."

"Hello Professor." We said.

"What can I do for you two?"

"We just wanted to say bye." Blaise said as he turned around to leave.

I pulled him back, again. "What he meant to say was, thank you for inviting us and now we have to take our leave."

"Oh well that's a shame. But alright. Tell me Ms. Riddle, who are you spending Christmas with?"

"Oh uh... My father. Of course."

"Well. Have fun. And Merry Christmas to you both."

"Merry Christmas." We said as we walked away.

Blaise and I turned around to see everyone. But they had already left. We walked out of the party and walked down the halls.

"Why'd you lie to him?" He asked.

"Because..." I paused.

"Well? I'm waiting."

I rolled my eyes. "Because I don't want anyone to know where I'll be spending my Christmas. If the word gets out and it goes to my father, how do you think he'll react?"

"Not good."

"Exactly. We can't let him know. It can be dangerous for me and Delphi. Also Harry too." 

"You care about him, huh?"

"Harry's my friend. So yes I do. And because I feel guilty."

"Guilty? For what? You didn't do anything."

"My father killed his parents."

"Exactly, your father did. Not you. Don't feel guilty about it."

"Yea you're right. I'm good now."

He scoffed. "You're unbelievable."

"Okay well I'm just gonna go to my dorm."

"Wait you're not coming to our common room?"

"No, I'm really tired. And we have to wake up early for the train."

"Right. Its Christmas tomorrow. Well goodnight."

"Goodnight."

We hugged and he left. I walked down the hall to the Gryffindor common room. I said the password and walked in. Everyone was there. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and the twins.
