A/n: I'm disappointed I haven't got as many reviews as I would like, so I will most likely not continue this story until I get at least 35 reviews. So please, faithful readers, get your friends to read this too! Now, on with chapter 11!
Caity finished hugging the American strangers and turned to an amused bunch of Gryffindors.
"Guys, this is my band, 'Destination Ambition'. Introduce yourselves!"
The blonde girl with the dragon stepped forward. "I'm Sarah, and I play bass." The dragon on her shoulder snorted, and Sarah rolled her eyes. "And this is Felix." The dragon nodded.
The girl in black stepped forward. "I'm Laurie. Play the drums."
The boy in the baseball cap smiled widely and hugged Sarah from behind. "I'm Jimmy, guitar."
The tall dark haired boy put his arm around Caity. "And I'm Ryan, the other singer in 'Destination Ambition.' Not to mention Caity's best friend."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at Kelley. She shrugged. "Eh, he's known her longer."
The boy on the floor coughed, and Caity pulled him up. "This is Sean. He's our groupie. And our roadie. And he carries my stuff."
"Why do you call him Ed?"
"Because he laughs like the hyena from 'The Lion King'." Sean glared at her.
The girls went back up to Caity's room, giggling excitedly. Caity was much more interested in the Open Mic Night. They tossed around ideas for Caity's outfit.
"Leather" was Laurie's suggestion. Sarah suggested something bright and fun. Hermione and Kelley requested something modest, while Ginny pleaded for short and tight.
"How about this?" The girls' faces lit up.
"Perfect!"
The girls walked back downstairs with their cloaks wrapped around them tightly, not wanting them to see the outfits they would be wearing to the club. Ginny knew Ron would make her go up and change, Kelley and Hermione were shy, and Caity wanted it to be a surprise. Sarah and Laurie decided to keep it simple and just wear what they were already wearing. The group walked down to the carriages together, until Caity pulled Ryan away to a separate carriage. Ginny turned toward Kelley, a question on her lips, but Kelley cut her off.
"Let her go. They haven't talked in months. They've had a thing for each other for years, but they've never acted on it. It's best to let it be."
Ron looked slightly crestfallen until Hermione grabbed his hand.
"Stop being a baby and come with me. I need to pick out Caity's birthday present."
Ron went willingly. Kelley and Harry walked away together, as did Sarah and Jimmy. Sean and Laurie walked in separate directions. Ginny stood by herself.
"What the damn?!"
Seamus heard her as he walked by. "'Ey Gin, wanna join me in Hogsmeade?"
Ginny sighed. "Since I've been abandoned by everyone else, why not."
Harry and Kelley walked down the main road together, talking about anything and everything. They talked about growing up in Florida, about not knowing his parents, her siblings… Harry had never felt this comfortable opening up to someone. His attraction to Kelley had started small from the moment he met her, growing more and more each day when he encountered her charming personality and beauty.
They stood together by the Shrieking Shack. Kelley leaned up against the fence, laughing lightly. Her cheeks were tinged pink from the cold, and the sun lit up the skyline behind her. Harry's mouth went dry. She looked like an angel.
"Hey, are you alright Harry? You look like you're in pain."
He snapped out of his trance.
"No, I'm fine. I'd… I just wanna try one thing…"
Kelley moved to touch his hand. He shook his head.
"No, be very still… don't move."
His hand ghosted over her cheek, his thumb brushing her lips. He leaned forward and covered her lips with his own.
Caity and Ryan hid behind a tree, peeking out at Harry and Kelley. Caity started to squeal when she saw Harry kiss Kelley.
A hand shot out from behind her, wrapping its way around her mouth.
"Be quiet!" Ryan's voice hissed in her ear. She nodded and waited for him to remove his hand. When he didn't, she growled and licked his palm.
"Ew!"
"Suck it up."
"Shut up the both of you!"
Caity and Ryan looked up at the tree to have a baseball hat fall on their heads and a twittering dragon dive down after it.
"What the damn?!" Caity muttered.
Jimmy and Sarah glared down at the two, Sarah doing most of the glaring while Jimmy started to gently laugh.
"Are you two spying on someone or something?" asked Jimmy as Felix returned the hat to his head.
"No..." Caity said quietly turning back to watch Harry and Kelley.
"Damn it girl what are you doing down there then?" asked Sarah snuggling closer to Jimmy on the tree branch.
"Nothing! Now shush!"
"Hmph. Jimmy! Caity's being mean again!" Sarah said with mock tears.
"Yes I can see that... but I think it's that Harry kid and Kelley she is more interested in than us," he said leaning towards Sarah more.
"Pfft yeah like I haven't seen you two do it a hundred times," said Caity still watching Kelley and Harry.
"Caity!!!!!" yelled Sarah as she jumped out of the tree and landed mercilessly on top of Caity with Jimmy close behind landing next to the sprawled two. Caity groaned.
"I… am… going… to… cut you… as soon… as… I find… my boobs." She groaned again. "I think you knocked them off."
"That would be quite a feat." Ryan's eyes grew wide.
"Hi Kelley, we weren't spying on you or anything… please don't hurt Caity it was my idea."
"Caity's in enough pain right now. Show a little mercy." Jimmy and Ryan helped Caity up.
"By all means," she muttered, "don't mind me. The four of you can go back to sucking each other's faces off while I remain… oh, what's the word… NORMAL."
Ryan chuckled.
"You could never be normal. You're too much fun." Caity stuck out her tongue at him. "Well, that's mature."
"I never said I was," Caity replied smugly. Kelley shook her head.
"Why are my friends so weird?"
"We learned from the best, love. What are you-" Caity cut off screaming as Kelley ran after her. Harry looked confused as the others broke down laughing.
"Does that happen a lot?" He was met with more laughs. "I'll take that for a 'yes'."
