A/N: You are very lucky….I don't have to update so quickly- however I actually have time so don't get used to it.
Disclaimer: Yeah read chapter one. :P
Catie glanced over at Remus- he looked just as upset as she was.
"Cate, would you like to come with me this weekend to Hogsmead?" Justin asked suddenly behind her. She turned in her seat.
"Hey Justin, sure I'd love to go with you," Catie answered grinning.
He grinned too. "Great! I'll see you then?"
Catie nodded. "Yeah."
"Great," he said, walking away at a slow pace.
James slid down the open space to Catie. "Did he just ask you out?" Catie stared at him.
"Yeah." James' face scrunched up.
"Did you say yes?" he asked. Catie nodded. James slammed his fist on the table.
"But I've been asking Evans out for weeks! She never says yes! What did he do differently- woah!" he rambled suddenly jumping as he saw Catie's wand pointed between his eyes.
"Who are you and what have you done with my brother?" she demanded. He threw his hands up in surrender.
"It's me I swear! Right, Padfoot?" At the sound of his nickname said person leaned forward- mouth full.
"Tha's 'im all righ," he said through food. Catie shook her head with disgust and lowered her wand, returning it to her boot.
"You lot are disgusting," she said standing up and swinging one leg at a time over the bench. "See you."
James slid back to Sirius, Remus, and Peter. "We aren't disgusting, we're merely talented!" he said firmly, resuming eating. Remus his smile with his book and finished eating.
"I got Ancient Runes, see you lot later for Charms. Enjoy Divination!" he called strolling out of the hall.
Catie scribbled the last sentence for her Potions essay as they walked to the dungeons.
"I hope I don't get paired with Davies again…That pompous prat," Alice whined.
"Please save our ears and suck it up," Lily said flipping the page on her book. Catie grinned at her friends.
"I have to put up with Snape! Don't you dare complain to me," Alice retorted. "I should only have to put up with one idiot at a time." Lily glanced woefully at Catie, who shrugged.
"Ah, my dears. I was hoping to catch you before class began. I'm having a little get together in my office Friday, would the two of you like to come?" Slughorn asked as they approached him.
Catie faked a smile. "I do believe I have Quidditch practice that night."
He shook his large head. "No, no, I checked with your Captain to be sure you could come." Catie's smile fell.
"Great," she said walking on into the classroom.
"Your brother's invited too, Miss Potter!" Slughorn called after her. Catie rolled her eyes and sat down at an empty desk.
"Catie, please don't go to Hogsmead with Connors. I thought you promised to come with us!" Sirius said slinging an arm around her shoulders. Catie rolled her eyes and looked at Remus, his eyes were on his feet.
"I never promised that," she said.
"Yes you did," Peter said grabbing her arm. Catie tore the boys off her and took several steps forwards and then turned around to face them.
"I'm going with Justin, end of story. Maybe next time," Catie said. She turned and skipped off, unwilling to stay with them.
Catie ran to the library to meet up with Lily, Alice, and Severus when she saw something heartbreaking.
Justin was making out with a fifth year just outside the library.
"J-Justin?" Justin and the girl broke apart and he stared at her.
"Catie? Catie wait!" Catie turned and bolted ignoring his protests.
She ran, as fast as her legs would allow her, into the courtyard, down to the Whomping Willow.
"Immobilus!" she cried pointing her wand at the tree. Then she slowed down and threw her bag at the trunk, transforming into a cat. Catie jumped up and hit the knot, before slinking into the passage. When she finally reached the Shrieking Shack she collapsed onto the floor, transforming again.
Remus looked out the window and saw a girl transform into a cat. He looked back to his book as realization hit him. He jerked his head back to the window and saw her hit the knot and go inside. Remus scrambled to his feet and without a word to the others went down to the Willow.
"Where d'you think he's going?" Sirius asked as James made a move.
James shrugged. "Go see Catie. Doesn't he always? Knight to A-6, checkmate."
Sirius sighed. "Rematch?"
James grinned and pushed his glasses up. "Yeah."
A/N: Cliffie! :P Poor Catie, Justin's been cheating on her. Review or I won't update! This is a threat. xD
