THE GRYFFINDOR GIRL AND THE SLYTHERIN SEEKER

KARRY

"I'm nothing like them am I, Remus," I asked as we sat by the lake. He was rather worn since last night had been a full moon. Damn bloody full moon! And the damn son of a bitch that caused Remus to have to be this way. Anyway, I was wearing jeans today since it was starting to get colder. During the winter holidays we would be spending time at the Burrow. Also, Remus finally said something about the length of my skirts.

Remus turned to me, his blue eyes revealing his confusion. "What do you mean, Karry?" he asked me.

"My mum and dad. Lily and James," I cleared up. I sighed, staring out at the lake. I'm nothing like them, am I?"

Remus sighed and shook his head. "Karry, what on earth would make you think that?"

I looked outward. The day was clear, but the ground was covered in red, gold and brown. Halloween had come and past quite boringly, except with Harry, Ron, Hermione and I trying to figure out how to destroy that bird thing. No luck yet. I tried to get people to celebrate thanksgiving – mostly because I love any holiday that involves laziness and food, but we were bombarded with work.

I knew why I had asked Remus that. The night I found out my adoptive parents wee murdered, I had broken down. I had had no strength, no courage. I had lost everything in that one moment. I had given up my dignity to become nothing but a puddle of tears and misery.

And the person who helped me up was the person I was trying to help….

"I'm not strong and clever like my mum, or brave and powerful like dad. I can't hold myself together." I pulled a blade of grass out and tossed it aside. "There's nothing like them about me."

"Karry," Remus comforted putting his hand on my shoulder. 'You're only human, as were your parents. You can only do and be so much. You've never worried about living to a standard before. Why now?"

"There never was a standard," I answered blankly. "Ruela just went along with what Alan said, and Alan only praised what he noticed. And now that I know my real family, I feel like I have to be what you, and Tonks and Harry expect of me."

"Karry, listen to me. You're fine the way you are. You could follow the rules more often, but I'm proud of you. And I know," he smiled, "you're parents would be too."

I smiled back. Remus had always been all I had. The closest thing to real family. Of course, if I needed girl talk, I went to Tonks, but Remus was…. I knew he wasn't really my father, but with my life seemed to go…he mind as well be.

"Oh, I love you, Remus," I said, hugging him. I had no idea what I would do without him.

"I love you, too," he said, stroking my hair a bit. We pulled away and just stared out into lake.

I hope now you understand why I had to avenge him.

Tonks came up and greeted Remus with a kiss. They chatted about things my ADHD brain wouldn't allow me to pay attention to. Suddenly I heard the bush making a very not bush-like noise.

"Psst!" the bush said insistently. "Psssst!"

I looked around the bush to see some familiar blonde hair. I felt my arm being grabbed and pulled behind the bush.

"What's up, Ferret?" I asked, completely unabashed.

He rolled his eyes and started leading me to a more secluded area. "Don't get any ideas, Karry," he said. "I wanted to ask you this the other day…but I couldn't." I looked around to make sure no one else was in site. "I need your help. Croft says I'm off the team unless I either show some serious improvement or I learn to quit being distracted. Since the latter won't be possible since you like to distract me," I gaped at him, "I need you to teach me the Wronski Feint."

Against my better judgment to maintain self-control, I burst into laughter. "I knew this was a bad idea," he complained, walking off.

"Oh, I didn't mean it like that, Draco," I called after him. I caught hold of his arm. "It's just, I haven't even taught Harry-,"

"Well, teach him to, I don't give a damn what you do!" he said loudly. "Just help me, okay."

"Say the magic word," I said sweetly.

"Which one?" he asked confusingly.

I sighed. "Please."

"What?"

"Say it."

He looked at me reluctantly and forced himself to say, "Please."

I wrapped my arms around his neck and smirked. "Say, 'Karry Potter is the sexiest girl in Hogwarts."

"Karry, quit it-,"

I got very close to him. "Say it."

He gave a frustrated sigh, but I could tell he was for once forcing himself not to smirk. "Karry Potter is the sexiest girl in Hogwarts." That's when I pushed him into the tree behind him, smirking wider.

"Now, say, 'I want her to tie me down and-,"

"KARRY!" he yelled. I giggled. This was so funny. I removed my arms from around his neck, but instead placed my hands in his back pockets.

"No, no, Draco, darling, your not supposed to say my name yet," I purred, looking into his eyes. I glared at me for a second, then took hold of me and turned us around, shoving m into the tree. I just laughed. He kissed my deeply, our tongue finding their way into each others mouths. He entangled his hand in my hair as we just stood their, making-out. When he pulled away, he stared into my eyes, which seemed to make my heart go into a drug-crazed frenzy.

"You gonna help me or not?" he asked. I smiled at him. Of course I was going to help him. I just liked seeing him squirm.

"I am going to help you, okay," I said. "But I need two more things from you."

"And what's that?"

"First, you have to kiss me again," I said coyly.

"That I can do very well," he replied, kissing me again. When we pulled away again, he stared into my eyes. "Now what?"

I took hold of his hand. "Come with me." I said. He smiled and shook his head but kept hold of my hand as I led the way.

To Hagrid's….
