A/N: Okay, so, I'm pretty disappointed with the response this story has gotten so far. Does it just suck? Don't get me wrong, I love my two faithful reviewers CptnJack's BountyHunterGal and Koyuki 14 but nobody but them is reviewing and it's just a little discouraging. Anyway, TONS of thanks to:
CptnJack's BountyHunterGal Yes, he likes her VERY much. Lol. 93? That's pretty damn impressive! If you're getting 93, you definitely have the right to slack off a little bit!
Koyuki 14: She's 17, it's no big deal. It's not like she goes around sleeping with random guys! (Well, except for Draco but she actually hasn't slept with him, she's only made out with him.) The only guy she's slept with is Blaise (well, maybe one or two other guys as well). The point being, she's only slept with a few boyfriends and a fiancé, so no worries.
Yes, it's true, they're sluts. But I forgive them because they're really, really sexy! I was reading this story about Blaise today and there was a picture of what the author thinks he looks like and man! He is hot! This author has excellent taste!
Well, I made that name so long ago and I was looking at it and I just thought the "123" was so dorky so I got rid of it. The whole story is on my profile page. I'm terribly sorry that I made you abandon your lazy ways for a moment so that you could find my stories again. Truly shows your dedication!
I did update Burden or Blessing and I hope you enjoyed it. I feel so special that I am the reason you are addicted to my story. You still haven't seen the movie? Goodness, you must see it! Only then can you appreciate Sands' true hotness! You know what else is an awesome movie? The chronicles of Narnia! I saw it the other day and it was wicked!
Chapter uh, hang on, I can't remember what chapter we're on. Oh yes, Chapter 6!
Chapter 6: Another Guy?
Kate awoke the next morning feeling refreshed and quite proud of herself. She now had Draco Malfoy wanting her more than anything and she knew it. After all, she had felt him on her hip. Kate snickered at the thought. Sure, he got her pretty hot too, but the plan was the number one priority here and phase one was coming along nicely.
Kate skipped down to breakfast and took a seat next to her friends. She began eating as if she didn't notice it: the silver gaze boring in to her. She looked up after awhile and caught the heated look in his eyes. She simply smirked and winked before looking away.
A few weeks passed uneventfully. One morning, Kate was eating breakfast with Hermione and Ron when Ginny and Harry both entered the Great Hall, walking a fair distance away from each other. Ginny had a furious look on her face and Harry's looked completely blank. Ginny shot Kate a filthy look before going to sit beside her fellow classmates. Harry sat down in front of Kate and said nothing, despite the questioning glances of his friends.
A few hours later, Kate and Harry had a break in between their classes and were walking around the school grounds. They made their way over to the lake and sat down on the damp grass.
"So are you going to tell me what happened between you and Ginny?" Kate asked quietly.
"We broke up," Harry said after a few moments silence.
"What?" gasped Kate. "Why?"
"She said she didn't want to be with a guy who was so obviously interested in someone else," Harry shrugged.
"Who is she talking about?"
Harry just glanced at her and Kate finally got it.
"Me?" Kate squeaked. "Ginny thinks you're interested in me?" Kate began laughing at the absurdity of the idea, expecting Harry to join in. He never did. She eventually quieted down.
"Harry?" She whispered. "Are you?"
Harry didn't look at her and she knew the answer.
"So what do we do about this?" Kate sighed.
"Do you like me?" asked Harry.
"I-I don't know," Kate said, biting her lip. "I mean you're great and all but I guess I've just been too caught up with the Malfoy thing to think about much else."
Harry looked disgusted at the mention of Malfoy but said nothing. A long silence hung in the air between them before Harry, without warning, turned and kissed Kate. And she let him. It lasted for about ten seconds before the two broke apart.
"It didn't feel right to you either, did it?" Harry said.
"No," Kate said, shaking her head. "I guess we're just meant to be friends, huh?"
"I guess so," Harry said. He smiled. "Maybe it's better that way."
"I think so too," Kate returned the smile and lay her head on Harry's shoulder. They stayed like that for awhile before Kate suddenly stood up and pulled Harry up with her.
"Where are we going?" Harry whined. "I was comfortable."
"We're getting you back together with Ginny," Kate said and Harry knew better than to argue.
In the Gryffindor common room, Ginny was fuming by the fire. How could Harry do this? He was supposed to like her, not a friend of theirs! Suddenly, the two people polluting her thoughts burst in to the common room. Ginny watched with a narrowed gaze as Kate spotted her and rushed up to her.
"Gin, please," Kate exclaimed breathlessly. "Don't be angry at Harry. It's not his fault he likes me. Besides, we talked about it and decided it would be much better if we were just friends."
Ginny's gaze softened. "Really?"
"Really, Gin," Harry said softly. "I love you."
Ginny squealed and ran in to Harry's arms. They hugged and then began making out.
"Ok, I definitely should not be here anymore," Kate laughed and quickly exited the common room. She began wandering through the halls, searching for something to do. Break wasn't over yet so she couldn't go to class and she didn't know where Ron and Hermione were. All of a sudden, she was yanked in to an empty classroom. She knew who it was as soon as she felt the hand on her wrist.
"Draco, what the hell are you doing?" Kate exclaimed as Draco released her and shut the door. She rubbed her wrist as she waited for him to speak.
"What the fuck were you doing with Potter today?" He spat.
Kate's eyes narrowed. "Were you spying on me?"
"That doesn't matter," Draco hissed. "I asked you a question and I expect you to answer it."
"I wasn't doing anything," Kate said. "He told me he liked me and then kissed me. We decided afterwards that it didn't feel right and that we should stay friends."
"So you're not together?" Draco asked, his gaze softening ever so slightly.
"No, we're not together, you prick!" Kate exclaimed. "God, I can't believe you spy on me and don't trust me!"
Draco wrapped his arms around her and kissed her gently.
"I hate it when you do that," Kate said, closing her eyes. "I can never think straight."
Draco chuckled and did it again. "I'm sorry, Katie. I do trust you. It's Potter I don't trust. And spying is such a harsh word. I prefer to call it looking out for you."
Kate laughed. "Ok, so why are you 'looking after me'? I'm not yours to look after. We're not dating."
"We should be," Draco said.
"But we're not," argued Kate. "We're barely even friends."
"Sure we are," said Draco.
"Weird kind of friendship…"
"The best kind," Draco said, kissing her again before pulling away and making his way towards the door. "Stay away from Potter!" He called back as he walked away.
"I'm not going to stay away from him," Katesaid angrilyas she walked after him. "He's my…" Kate trailed off as she walked in to the hall. He was already gone.
A/N: So ends Chapter 6. Hope you enjoyed it! Please, please review!
