Chapter 11
a/n: NO ONE FLAME THIS
STORY! I TRIED TO FIND THE CHAPTER 11 FILE AND IT WON'T OPEN AND NEITHER WILL
CHAPTER 12! SO I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN!!!!
Kay sat contently doing her
homework at one of the table and was partially waiting for Harry to come back.
Ron and Hermione had already gone to bed and Harry was still at Quidditch
practice. I wonder why they're out there still. It's getting kind of dark; I
hope Harry is okay. There I go again. Worrying about Harry. Why do I keep on
doing that?, Kay thought to herself feeling as though someone in the room
could read he mind. No one knew that Kay was a werewolf because Dumbledore had
put a Memory Charm on the whole class. Kay was safe for now, but as always felt
as though someone was going to jump out at her and shoot her with a silver
bullet. Silver…I hate silver, she thought. It was true; Kay didn't own
on thing of silver and was happy about it. To her silver was like a cross to a
vampire, can't go near it and if you touch it, it burns you.
Sometimes thinking of
werewolves brought Professor Lupin into her mind. At least he gets to take
the Wolfsbane Potion every month and I'm only allowed to take it every other
month. Who invented a potion that only adult werewolves can take every
month? I mean Muggle kids get to have that children's Tylenol stuff, why not
children's Wolfsbane Potion? I can't even play Quidditch! Well I guess I could
if I wanted, but I really don't feel like asking. I HATE BEING A WEREWOLF! I
just want to tell Harry, Hermione, and Ron so much, well maybe not Ron. But
defiantly Harry and Hermione!
Kay looked up not noticing
that Harry had come over to her and sat down.
"Hey, Kay. What cha doin'?"
He asked.
"A little torture called
homework."
"Torture? I'd like to call it a daily Christmas
present." He laughed so did Kay.
"I think that's what
Hermione would call it." They laughed even harder.
"You're right."
Now they were staring at
each other. Those eyes are just to die for!, Kay thought. She shook her
head.
"What?"
"Um, nothing Harry. Did you
find a Keeper yet?" she quickly changed the subject.
"No. Well, at least we have
a captain."
"I know! You've been saying
that for two weeks! You should start looking around for a Keeper soon…there may
be one right under your nose." She smiled.
"Do you know anyone?"
"I may."
"Come on tell me."
"I don't know. I don't
think she would want you to know."
"Please, Kay?"
"Let's see. She is in Gryffindor
House. She has brown hair, brown eyes. She owns a Chinese Firebolt, and is in
Fifth Year."
"Hmm. Oh, I know! It's
you."
"Mmhm! Me."
"Why didn't you tell us
before?"
"Because I wasn't sure I
wanted to play. Me being next in line for the American Team, you know, I didn't
feel like I was good enough for the Gryffindor team." She said jokingly but
with a bit of arrogance.
"Really, the American
Team?"
"Maybe."
"Come one Kay you have to
play for us!"
"I don't know. I'm not sure
you would want me to Harry."
"Kay, you have to! IF IT'S
NOT FOR ME, THINK OF YOUR FELLOW GRYFFINDORS!"
"Okay, okay I'll do it!"
"Thank you!" Harry hugged
her.
"Harry… I can't… breathe."
"Oh, sorry."
Harry loosened his grip and
let go.
"Thanks, Harry."
"Well, I'm tired I think I'll
go to bed."
"But its only eight thirty!"
"Early to bed, early to
rise!"
"That's not technically true."
"Good Night, Kay."
"But—"
"Good Night, Kay."
"Good Night, Harry." she
said threw her teeth.
Harry walked up the stairs
and was gone.
Stupid full moon! It
always makes me mad!, Kay said to
her self almost out loud.

"Good morning all! I have a
special announcement to make!" Dumbledore
boomed.
"Good morning, yeah right!"
Kay said.
"Just because your owl woke
you up at four a.m. doesn't mean it's a bad day." Harry said.
"What about your 'Early to
bed, Early to rise' theory?"
"Well, I—"
"See! I told you it would
never work. It's just a metaphor, Harry!"
"As I was saying," Dumbledore
interrupted, looking at Harry and Kay. "This Halloween we have decided to start
a new tradition."
There was a sudden rush of
excitement from everyone.
"We have decided to the
tradition of having a Ball every Halloween," He smiled at Kay and Harry, which
made them wonder why. "But, alas, it is only for third year and above."
There was a slight groan
from mostly first and second years, and loud gossiping from everyone else.
"Wow! Did you here that
Kay. A Ball." Hermione said to her.
"Yeah, another chance to
make a fool of myself." Kay said glumly.
"You know you and Harry
would make a cute couple."
"Whoa! Where did that come
from? Any way, I think he would rather go with Cho Chang." Kay let out a
little laugh.
"What's so funny?" Harry
asked, he hadn't heard their conversation.
Hermione interrupted
"Harr—" as Kay started to say his name.
"I was just telling Kay
about how you two would make an adorable couple."
"What?!"
"It was just an opinion
Harry. Ron what do you think?"
"Wait. Your asking Ron?" Kay
interrupted this time.
"So, you don't care! This
Ball is just 'another chance to make a fool of yourself.' "
"I'd rather not give my
opinion about my best friends love life." Ron said.
"Good choice, Ron. I would
want to either would I Hermione? Hmm?" Kay said looking at her. Hermione's face
went red.
"Why of course not, Kay.
Why would I?"
Kay laughed. "Harry probably
wants to ask Cho Chang to the Ball. Well, anyway I don't want to interfere
with his quote unquote 'love life' "
"Can we just stay clear of
my 'love life'?"
"Fine Harry." Kay spat out
and then laughed.
***
"I would like to introduce
our new Keeper." Harry said as they entered the Quidditch field.
"Who Harry?" Fred asked.
"She should be here any
minute. Last she told me she was trying to find her broom."
"Find her broom?" Angelina Johnson asked.
"Yeah, how can you loose a
broom?" George asked.
"You can when it's a
Chinese Firebolt." Kay said from behind them.
"Oh, hi Kay."
"Hello, Harry."
a/n: Sorry they get a
little mean, but sports can do that to a person. I've seen it happen.
"She's our new
Keeper?" Fred asked again.
"How do we know she's any
good?" Alicia asked.
"There is one way. Anybody
have a Quaffle so I can show you?"
They had found something to
use as a Quaffle and started. "Just try to score on me and well see if I'm any
good."
The three chasers started
and shot, it didn't go in. They tried again and again every time it was about
to go into the hoops, but it didn't because Kay had saved them all, even if she
was all the way on the other side.
"She really can play."
Alicia said.
The team practiced until they
could barely see their own hands. As
they walked up to the common room Harry stopped Kay, "Kay, I have a question."
