SIRIUS POV

"Oh, Mr Black, how nice of us to grace us with your presence," Slughorn stuttered.

"And you, yourself Professor," I murmured giving him a devil stare.

"Ah Miss Gordon, how lovely it is to see you again, and Mr Black, how nice of you come along to our little gathering," oh no, Dumbledore's been at the whiskey again. We both tried to stifle a laugh.

"Getting down to business, " McGonagall said also trying to hide her smile "As head's you to set a great example to the student body, also to your peers as well as the other students, you also have responsibility and jobs that you must treat with respect and do so wilfully," oh my god it sounds like a job contract!

"We both fully understand the consequences if we mess up," Kat said "And we both fully know what we are going to have to do,"

"We do, what I'd quite like to know is, what are the advantages of this?" I said laughing.

"It is a very valid question Mr Black, number 1, the prefects bath room and the whole of the 5th floor is reserved for you and 4 other prefects. I believe Miss Evans and Mr Potter are occupying one of the other rooms, and Miss Taya Harding and Mr Michael Cromley are occupying the other one," I could see Kat stiffen.

"Oh, are those the definite arrangements?" Kat said timidly.

"Yes, if that is quite alright with you two?"

"Well..." I started about to object

"No it's fine," Kat said cutting me off.

"Ok then you are dismissed," Slughorn said trying not to look too embarrassed. As we both left the compartment I grabbed Kat's hand.

"Hey, what was that all about? If you don't want her here, all you had to so was say? You know that," I looked at her sympathetically.

"No, It's nothing, really don't worry," I could see the sadness in her eyes, but, as always, I don't quite know why,

KAT POV

If only he knew, if only he has a clue, I would have said something if it wasn't for Megan, if there was no Megan, if there was no one else, I would have said, but with something so big standing in my way, what was the point in me even trying. I stared at him, and he was staring right back, searching, waiting for me to let him in, but how could i? With something so big, and so important to me.

"If you're sure?" he said giving me that doubtful look which was so obviously true.

"I'm sure," I said trying to hide how bad I felt about not telling him the truth.

That was when Taya rounded the corner followed by Luscious Malfoy and Antonius Goyle.

"YOU!" Taya yelled running at me. "There you are, with HIM, how could you! Wait until Megan hears this," she ran and slapped me as hard as she could. This was when I realised how close me and Sirius were, and I was backed up against a wall. So I was completely taken aback when I heard this,

"Step away from her, now," Sirius said, his hand on mine, his other on hers which had quickly drawn out her wand.

"Why should i? What's in it for you huh? Wait till Megan find's out about all this, she's gonna dump you for sure!!!" I said edging up close to him so she was only an inch away, her long pointed nose touching the tip of his chin, her cold blue eyes staring into his, her long blonde hair bouncing on her shoulders.

And that's when she kissed him... just as Megan rounded the corner.
