After many more hours of dancing and socializing, the ball ended. Kat had still not been able to talk to Draco for whenever she got close he would turn and talk with whoever was next to him. So, like always, she spent most of the time dancing and conversing with Blaise. It was about two o'clock in the morning before Kat and Blaise retired. Blaise sat in his pajama pants reading a random book he found. His attention however was not on the book. Oh Contraire, it was on his two best friends and what Lucius had said to him before Kat insisted they went upstairs.
"I got in contact with your father, Blaise," he said, tiredly, "He agrees that in the state of things you may want to talk to Katherine about your arrangement."
"I agree sir," Blaise replied politely, "But you know Katherine as well as I and she won't want to get married simply because Draco and Pansy are." Lucius nodded, knowing full well that there was truth behind Blaises words.
"I know she won't consider the idea at the moment, but you can persuade her," Lucius said. Blaise knew that he had a very small chance at winning this argument, "Narcissa has mentioned this situation to Kat and we both wish for the two of you to talk."
"I will speak with her," Blaise said, "Please excuse me sir, for it is late and both Katherine and I have to get some rest."
"Of course," Lucius said curtly, "Blaise, Draco cannot afford distractions. I hope you know that." Blaise nodded and turned around. Kat awaited him at the foot of the stairs.
"Come on, Kat," he sighed. She gave him a concerned look, but continued to follow him up the steps.
Blaise sat in his dark room staring at the wall across from him. He knew Kat wouldn't take the news about Pansy and Draco well. She had always hated and still hates Pansy with a passion and being as possessive as she was he knew she wouldn't – and doesn't- want to share Draco. This complicated things.
A small knock snapped Blaise out of his thoughts. He squinted at the big clock on the wall. 4 AM. Kat didn't wait for any consent or acknowledgement and walked in quietly.
"Kat?" he asked, unable to see through the darkness. Kat carried a small candle that gave off little light. For all Blaise knew it could be Harry Potter walking into the room.
"The one and only," she said unenthusiastically. She was glad that the dark kept him from seeing the frown on her face.
"Kitty, you should be asleep," he replied. Kat sighed and approached his bed, placing the candle on his nightstand.
"Blaise," Kat said ignoring his comment, "Why was Dragon acting like an asshole tonight?" Blaise knew this question was coming. Kat sat next to him and leaned against the headboard.
"Love, he's always acts like that," Kat looked at Blaise, she was unable to read the expression on his face.
"Not with me," Kat protested.
"Until now," said Blaise, "Unlike you, I'm used to Draco being like this and now that Pansy is permanently stuck in the picture, I think you're going to have to get used to it too."
"I don't understand," Kat replied.
"Pansy is jealous of yours and Dracos relationship. She always has been and now that she has Draco, she probably told him that he needs to stop being so friendly with you," Blaise explained. Kats brow furrowed.
"Draco wouldn't listen to her," Kat paused, "would he?" Blaise couldn't help but notice how scared she sounded. He shifted slightly and put an arm around her shoulders.
"Kitty," he said softly, "she's going to be his wife."
"I was half expecting you to say 'Of course not, Love'," she sighed.
"I wish I could say that, Love," he replied.
"I know," she said quietly, "This is all so unfair." She leaned her head on his chest.
"He'll come around," Blaise reassured. The pair went silent. Kat listened to Blaises steady heartbeat. After a few minutes his breathing slowed, Kat could've sworn he fell asleep.
"Blaise?" she mumbled.
"Hmm?" he grunted back.
"What did Lucius talk to you about?" she asked. Blaise stayed silent, a billion thoughts shot through his mind. She poked him in the stomach, "Blaise."
"Sorry, What did you ask?" he said, actually focusing on her this time.
"What did Lucius want?" she asked again, more eager than before.
"Nothing," he lied, "he asked if I was coming for Easter," he shifted again, to get comfortable, then closed his eyes.
"Oh," Kat mumbled, "I cant believe Narcissa is letting Lucius set Draco and Pansy up. Its completely ridiculous. It should be Dracos choice. Don't you think so?" her question received no answer, "Blaise?" Kat went silent for a minute and listened to Blaises slow breathing. Assuming he was asleep she slipped out of his embrace and pulled a blanket over him. He shifted again, to the point where he was fully laying down. Kat kissed the top of his head and grabbed her candle off the nightstand. The big clock read 5:08. Kat blew out the candle and quickly exited the room.
Walking down quickly and quietly down the corridors, she swiftly grabbed a jacket, and made her way outside. She entered the broom cupboard and took out her broom. Making sure to make as little noise as possible, she straddled the broom, and shot into the skies. She smiled as she felt the cold wind hit her face. She continued to ascend until the Malfoy Manor was nothing more than a spec.
"Completely ridiculous," she repeated to herself as she watched the sun slowly rise over the horizon.
