AN- Yet another Sean and Katy story. It's going to be short, but chaptered,
and I hope if you read it, you enjoy it. Anything you recognize as JK's is
more than likely definitely not mine. Get the hint?

Sean staggered into the common room early in the morning, supported by the much shorter Katy, who managed to gently drop him into a chair.
"Goda sleep, idiot," she told him tiredly. "'m gonna bed.." She slowly dragged her feet up the stairs, collapsing on her bed without a single word to Elizabeth, even though her friend was dead curious about what had transpired.
But Elizabeth had learned the hard way that prying only made Katy more stubborn on not revealing her secrets. She rolled over and fell back asleep within minutes, curiosity nagging her.
*~*
The next night, as the moon began to wane again, Sean and Katy made their way into the common room. Sean wordlessly collapsed onto a nearby chair, and Katy squeezed his shoulder.
As she pulled herself around the bend in the stairs, she heard him murmur, almost beyond hearing, "Once, just once I wish I could see the moon not as a monster."
Katy felt her heart clench as she pulled her covers over her head.
*~*
Elizabeth shook Katy awake the next morning. "C'mon! You're going to be late for class. I brought you toast, now come ON!" Elizabeth grabbed Katy's wrists and drug her down the stairs, through the common room and outside into the already warm air in her pajamas.
*~*
By the time Elizabeth had dragged her into Transfiguration, Katy was actually somewhat awake, though still in pajamas.
"What was going on last night? You didn't get in until this morning," Elizabeth whispered.
"I couldn't sleep," Katy lied. "So Sean and I played chess for ages. We were finishing our game before I went to bed."
"I find it odd that every time you can't sleep and play chess, it just happens to be the full moon," Elizabeth whispered back. "And just where do you two play?"
Katy gulped nervously. "Ehehehehehe. The light keeps me awake?"
