You mean despite the terribly cheesy title you're going to read this? Fantastic!
This story is going to be a nonlinear collection of drabbles taking place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Main pairing is going to be Klaroline, but other characters will of course be featured and other pairings will be explored! Except everything from Stelena and Delena, bits and pieces of Forwood, Maroline, Beremy, Kennet, Mabekah...literally everything. So if I ever focus on a couple you don't like, never fear! They'll probably be making out with someone else next drabble! After all, hormones are raging.
So, anyway, if you're sticking around for this ridiculousness, please enjoy!

"Caroline, won't you accompany me on patrol this evening?"
She gave an irritated huff, tossing back her hair, and making a point to not make eye contact with the seventh year as she passed him, eyes locked on the dark, empty passage before her. He would lurk in the shadows, waiting for her to pass. Creepy bastard.
He fell into step beside her, as to be expected. He couldn't take a hint, insisted upon prevailing himself upon her at any given opportunity. The determination that marked Slytherin house was especially present in Klaus.
"Shouldn't you be in the dungeons? Or anywhere else far away from me?" Caroline snapped and didn't miss the way his mouth curved up, that ever present smug smile emerging simply to irritate her, it seemed.
"Now, I just want to make sure my subordinate is safe her first night back on duty. As Head Boy, I have to keep an eye on the Prefects. Make sure performance is still up to par," he replied smoothly. Caroline snorted and Klaus looked almost hurt. "Or maybe I just wanted catch up with my favorite Hufflepuff. How was your summer, Caroline?" Klaus bounced back immediately, feigning interest as he was subject to do. Caroline gave him a sideways glance, quirking an eyebrow.
"'Catching up' is something friends do, Klaus. And, sorry, but I don't consider irritating upperclassmen boys who won't leave me alone my friends." She said, rolling her eyes when Klaus continued to smile pleasantly at her. "But if you must know, my summer was fine, thank you. Tyler and I spent almost every day together. He even took me to his family's home in Brighton." She finished proudly, smiling at the memories.
"Ooh, Brighton," Klaus began, voice dripping with sarcasm. "The picture of glamour."
"It's actually a lovely city. I had a wonderful time," Caroline snapped.
"Of course, love," he relented. "I spent most of the summer in Paris. Now that's a city you should see, Caroline. A city worthy of your time. A sight better than Brighton."
"Maybe I'll go," Caroline said shortly, thankful for the darkness masking her pink cheeks. What bothered her the most was the way Klaus spoke so highly of her, as if she was this ethereal being so above life's daily conventions. It was off putting, strange, and, worst of all, almost flattering.
"I'll take you," Klaus replied immediately. "Anywhere you want to go." Caroline stopped, eyes flying to Klaus. He paused a few steps ahead of her, turning back to meet her gaze. He gave her a puzzled look as she gazed at him. "Is that so surprising?"
"I don't need you to take me, Klaus. Tyler is perfectly capable," she snapped, eyes fixing in a glare upon him now. And finally that smirk dropped and he returned the glare.
"Caroline, I have been perfectly pleasant with you. The least you could do is try to be civil," he said coldly.
"That's hilarious, coming from you," she replied just as coolly, crossing her arms across her chest and making it clear she wasn't intimidated.
"I'm afraid I don't understand the implication, love," he said, taking a step toward her.
"Just that you're one to talk about civility. How many times have you threatened Tyler? Stefan? Bonnie? Must I bring up that perfectly nasty play during last year's Quidditch championship that landed Matt in the hospital wing for a week?" She matched Klaus and stepped closer to him, head thrown back to look him in the eye.
"For someone's house marked by tolerance you certainly are being prejudice," Klaus said, seething. He took another step.
"How so?" She hissed. They were now toe to toe, barely an inch between their faces.
"You speak as though I'm the villain, Caroline, but are you truly so blinded by your relationships to deem your friends saints? Lockwood insisted upon starting some sort of rivalry between the two of us, Stefan has crossed me unprovoked many times, and Bonnie has yet to learn to hold her tongue." Klaus paused, taking a breath, before suddenly flashing a smile. "And besides, that play was deemed perfectly legal. It's not my fault Donovan can't keep a good grip on his broom."
"Oh, well, excuse me," Caroline said venomously. "I didn't realize you were such a victim."
"If you're implying weakness…" Klaus began threateningly.
"I'm only implying what you seem to be suggesting," she countered.
The two stood, noses almost touching, locked in a glare for a long moment. Finally, Klaus smirked and took a step away from her, turning around and continuing down the hallway. Caroline heaved a sigh, relieved.
"Bravery becomes you, Caroline. Are you sure you were sorted correctly?" He asked loftily, glancing back to where she still stood.
"I'm not brave, Klaus, just not afraid of you," Caroline replied, turning to walk away in the opposite direction. Her heart was still pounding from the encounter, the closeness. Her prayers were answered when Klaus didn't turn back around to pursue her. Hopefully she would calm down by the time she met with Tyler outside of Gryffindor Tower. She'd hate to explain why she was so flustered.
"That's why I like you," he called after her, that grin still playing at his lips.
She'd keep in mind to be more intimidated next time.

Hope you liked!
So, I haven't placed everyone in a house yet, so I would LOVE any suggestions!
So far, I'm thinking Caroline and Stefan in Hufflepuff, Elena, Jeremy, Damon, Tyler, and Matt in Gryffindor, Bonnie and Elijah in Ravenclaw, and Klaus, Katerina and Kol in Slytherin. I'm open to ideas though and any advice is welcomed and loved!
Thanks for reading, guys, and look forward to more soon! 3
