"Forget it," Kingsley replied. He really had no idea about Rita's escapades, but he certainly had no intentions of being one. Although, at least by macking with Rita, Kingsley would guarantee it wouldn't end up everywhere in the school. Rita at least spared herself in all the gossip, and her minions weren't about to say anything. The only person who actually hated Rita enough to broadcast anything negative was Amelia. Of course, if Harper found out he'd do it just for fun. Better yet, Kingsley just wouldn't kiss Rita.
Kingsley rose a single eyebrow at Rita, but nodded. "If you insist. I am tense, but I'm also a prefect and quidditch captain. I live a stressful and tense life, Rita." Kings hadn't yet considered that Rita knew everything, and for now he was holding out. Eli had been able to calm him down a bit, and Marlene had finished it off decently. Telling Hestia they couldn't see each other anymore was nice as well.
