Disclaimer: Harry Potter isn't mine.
This is a request from cookyc. I've never heard of a fem!Harry x Goyle before, but I decided to give it a shot. It's a little silly, but I hope you like it!
Chapter 2 First Kiss
December 22nd 1994
"I think Greg fancies Potter," Blaise muttered in the library while he and Draco were working on their Arithmancy homework. At his words, Draco almost tripped and dropped his books. Madame Pince sent him an evil look. Somehow, she always knew when her precious books were in danger.
"Oh?" Draco said once he collected himself. "I didn't know he liked boys."
Blaise rolled his eyes and set his books on one of the tables. "He spends History staring at her tits."
"Perhaps he's wondering why a boy is wearing a tissue stuffed bra," Draco drawled. "Shouldn't he be here? I thought we were tutoring him."
"And when he isn't staring," Blaise went on as if he hadn't spoken. "He's laughing at the jokes she whispers to Weasley. And he looked a little flushed when she went to hand in her test, and her skirt brushed against his desk."
Draco frowned and felt the rest of his face scrunch up in revulsion. "That's disgusting."
Blaise gave him a rare, almost nonexistent smile. "I know. I think we should teach him a lesson."
For a split second, Draco almost said no, that they were going to ignore Greg's unnatural feelings until they disappeared. But then Colin Creevey bustled into the library with his mudblood brother. He was planning to ask Potter to the Yule Ball. It was so obvious by how much he slobbered all over her. No other boy in school could tolerate her as much as him. Draco hated him.
He smiled evilly at Blaise. "I have an idea."
Neville, Seamus, Dean, Fred, George, everyone had a date to the Yule Ball besides her! Even stick up the arse Percy! Kat was getting ready to pay someone. Ron was refusing to go because of the state of his robes. Or so she thought.
"Look," he muttered as they headed to Potions. "If you need a date that bad, I'll go with you."
"Thanks?" Kat looked over her shoulder to see Lavender Brown look at her, giggle, and then hurry off with her friends. "Is there something on my face? Goyle smiled at me over breakfast. I almost threw up."
"But…" Ron looked confused while Kat heard yet another giggle. "Kat, it's all over school."
Kat stopped in front of the dungeons. The Slytherins were either laughing at her or glaring. Nothing new there… "What? Is it Katherine's An Idiot Day? I don't think I saw any of the flyers."
Ron frowned, but before he had the chance to fill her in, Hermione, who had skipped breakfast to go the library, ran over to them and started talking a mile a minute. "Is it true? You can't seriously be going with Goyle to the Yule Ball, Kat!"
This was a joke. Kat laughed in disbelief, but the laughter immediately died when Crabbe, Goyle, and Malfoy walked by. Goyle gave her another creepy, blood curdling smile. If this was a joke, he certainly didn't think so. Oh no…
Draco thought Potter would spend the day hiding, that it would take a little longer for her to embarrass herself. He almost felt bad for Greg, but the look on Potter's face was absolutely priceless. The red was a nice contrast to her bright green eyes.
Severus was just about to start his lecture when Potter walked up to them. Her lips became a thin line like she was trying not to scream or burst into tears. She stopped right in front of Greg, who was still clueless to his and Blaise's joke. They gave him a fake love letter from Potter this morning and then spread the rumor that she had asked him to the Yule Ball around school.
"I'm sorry," she said through clenched teeth. Her hands were balled into shaking fists. "But I am not going to the Yule Ball with you."
"I am sorry Potter, but believe it or not, people do go to Hogwarts to learn about subjects that have nothing to do with you," Severus snapped a split second after the bell rang. Potter tensed and robotically walked to her seat. "You've wasted nearly a minute of class time, so I think your detention will be for an hour."
Greg was quiet for the rest of class, but that was no different from how he usually was. Draco figured he'd get over it and forget about what happened by lunch. He wasn't intelligent enough to fancy someone more than food.
Kat felt terrible and not because the whole school was saying she was the one who pulled the cruel prank on Goyle. Now people whispered and pointed at her instead of openly laughing, but what she noticed more was that Goyle barely touched his food at lunch, and looked at his feet as he walked to his next class. But what could she do?
"Don't feel bad," Hermione muttered as she fastened an earring. The Ball was in two hours, and Kat wanted to hide under her bed. "You didn't do anything. You can't go to the Yule Ball with a troll because of what someone else did."
Kat sighed, feeling too guilty to bother with makeup or her green dress or anything. "I didn't think he'd look that upset."
Hermione snorted. "He probably just has a stomach ache. Have you ever even said anything to Goyle? Ever heard him say anything besides grunt in agreement to whatever Malfoy said? Trust me. I'm sure he's over it by now."
"I guess." But Kat still pouted. Ron was forcing himself to go with her. It wasn't like she had a date or a boyfriend. The Yule Ball was going to suck anyway.
With a shake of her head, Hermione turned away from the mirror and put her hands on her hips. "Goyle's head is as empty as it seems, Kat. You're just filling in empty space because you don't know what he's thinking. Would you have felt bad if it was Malfoy?"
"Fuck no!"
Hermione laughed and grabbed a brush to try to tame Kat's hair. "That's my girl."
The Yule Ball was finally over. Well, Kat decided it was over when she got tired of eating with Ron and watching Goyle sit by himself out of the corner of her eye. She and Ron danced once, stepped on each other's feet, and both felt sweet relief when the song was over. After that, they just did what they did best: sat around and ate.
Just as she was leaving, Goyle started to leave to. Kat almost groaned and ran the second she saw him behind her, heading for the dungeons. She should have stayed behind and continued to stuff her face with Ron.
"Wait!" Kat yelled before she could stop herself. Goyle stopped but then kept walking, so she had to run over to him in what Ginny called her "hideous puke green heels." "Hey!"
Goyle turned around and stared at her blankly. Maybe Hermione was right. There was nothing going on in there. "I thought you were nice."
Never mind then. If it was anyone she was even remotely familiar with, Kat would have laughed and asked him what idiot told him that. But she didn't know him. She just embarrassed him in front of their whole class.
"I'm sorry." She looked down at her dress, which Ginny dubbed "half dead leaves sown together." She had a terrible fashion sense, apparently. "I didn't write that letter everyone's talking about, so I was… surprised to hear about it the other day."
"Okay." She wasn't used to Goyle's voice, so she didn't know if he really was okay or if he wanted to flee as much as she did.
"Erhm, well…" She didn't get this far without taking risks. Kat leaned forward, telling herself it didn't matter. It was just a kiss. Her first kiss, but still, just a kiss.
"Snape won't mind if we sneak off for a little while," Pansy whispered seductively, her crimson red nails curling around his arm as she spoke. Draco smiled, and when they thought no one was looking, they slipped out of the Great Hall.
They were going to find a dark place in the Dungeons to fool around in, but they didn't get that far. A horrible sight stopped in them in their tracks.
"Oh my…" Draco gaped like a stupid Weasley, and Pansy didn't look much better. Potter was kissing Greg! They walked into the scene just as she was leaning in to do it.
The kiss didn't last very long though because Greg reached over and grabbed Potter's arse. She didn't expect it either and jumped back so far she almost fell.
"You-you…!" The barbaric Potter couldn't seem to form words, and like the caveman that she was, she settled for shoving Greg so hard he stumbled backwards before running away.
"What did we just see?" Pansy asked as Greg stood up and started heading for the Dungeons with a goofy smile on his face.
"Something that should be illegal," Draco said flatly. What did they just see?
