?What?

Harry stopped. They'd been on the search for the Horcruxes for nearly a year and there was one main thing he'd learned in that time. How it happened he didn't know but Ron seemed to get a stitch every 10 minutes when they walked. He turned round and sure enough Ron and Hermione were standing next to each other, Ron holding his side, on the long, beaten, dust covered track. Smirking, he remembered the last time Ron had gotten a stitch.

After destroying Hufflepuff's cup, the last but the snake and the locket, which they assumed was still out there, Ron had got a stitch and had stopped so suddenly that Hermione had walked right into him and they'd both fallen in the mud. The smile slid of his face like paint. The day after, he'd heard news of Ginny's new boyfriend. Not that he could complain as he'd been the one to break up their relationship.

A startling crack drew his attention away from the thoughts that gave him an overwhelming desire to punch something. He, at the same time as Hermione and Ron, drew his wand and pointed at the origin of the noise he had correctly considered an Apparation. His jaw dropped when he realised what he was seeing.

There stood a gorgeous woman. Her long black hair fell easily to her waist in enveloping waves, passing her tanned shoulder with a tattoo of a crescent moon. Her tall as a model figure was very shapely and the curves were helped by her deep red tight floral top, black, hip-hugger jean with sparkles at the bottom and black, high-heeled leather boots. She had a silver chain round her neck but the pendant was hidden by a thin silk maroon scarf. Her large silver hoops jangled as they mixed with her hair as the wind blew it. Her slate grey eyes shimmered with laughter and mischief, and her smirking lips were a sparkly red. Thick mascara and eyeliner made her beautiful eyes so much more prominent and the glittery eye-shadow shimmered in the light. A small red handbag hung by her side, clasped in her deep-red finger nailed hands.

Ron looked at her with the same look he gave his potions home work when Hermione refused to help him. Suddenly he looked shocked. "Cat?" He suggested tentatively. When she nodded he ran over and gave her a hug, Hermione looking on jealously. Harry wondered once again why his friends hadn't got together. As soon as Ron let Cat go she started talking, and boy did she talk.

"Well it's about time someone recognised me. Your git of a brother Bill thought I was some girl he'd had a one night stand with and gave me this very awkward apology, Ginny tried to kill me thinking I was Bellatrix fucking Lestrange and the twins thought I was a model interested in an advertising job. Least Charlie recognised me. Went with him to get his tattoo actually, just don't tell your mum, she thinks the whole lot of you (and me come to think of it) were and will be virgins till you marry. Now I know you lot are, but the twins aren't, Bill certainly wasn't, Percy wasn't, me and Charlie lost ours at school and Ginny is, but doesn't plan on keeping it till marriage. She thinks it's too old-fashioned. Anyhow, she'd flip if she found out he had a tattoo. Mind you, she finds out about it and I'll tell the twins the story of your first kiss Ickle Ronniekins and they'll never let it rest. Now come on introduce me to your friend and your girlfriend."

Ron and Hermione both blushed and Ron started," Well you see, I and Hermione are…"

"Just friends, right." She finished sarcasm evident in her voice. "I would have thought you'd have got together by now. I mean, you've both fancied each other since third year. Well according to Ginny anyway and she's generally right about these things. And by the way Harry, she says her and Todd say Hi and how was the slut in Albania. So, you haven't introduced me yet."

She had overridden Harry asking what she was on about. What slut in Albania? Sure, they'd been to Albania, but he hadn't dated anyone there, or anywhere for that matter. Ron and Hermione were both a colour of red he didn't realise it was possible to turn and Ron had just opened his mouth to make introductions.

"Well this is Harry and this is Hermione. Guys this is Cat. Cat, do you have any way to prove who you are, besides describing snogging Charlie in a broom closet cause I really don't think I could physically listen to that again without vomiting." Ron obviously wanted evidence so Harry was surprised at the mischievious glint in her eyes that had suddenly caused Ron to go even redder. He looked like his whole head was on fire.

"Well OK ickle Ronniekins, if that's what you want. Well, this is the story of Ron's first kiss."
