The gasp that escaped my lips echoed in the silence. "Liam! You can't say that!" I scolded.
I was both horrified and disappointed. How could Liam say someone– a person, a teacher in his school deserved to die cruelly like that?
"No matter how bad Mr. Fenrir might have been, he was still a person." I firmly supplied.
Kylo narrowed his eyes and looked at me and then back at Liam. "What do you mean, 'bad'?"
Liam fidgeted in his seat, avoiding Kylo's gaze. "He… he was trying to bully Ms.Isleen— I mean, Mum. Even harass her a little bit, if I wasn't there."
Liam just called me 'Mum'. That just melted my heart regardless of how mad at him I was. My heart had just softened.
However, Kylo's jaw clenched tight, and I could practically see the anger radiating off him. "Why didn't you tell me about this, Isleen?" he demanded.
"It was nothing, Kylo," I mumbled, feeling a wave of guilt wash over me.
