Thanks to all! HPMystery(Really!? We're touched ;) Star(I think the title
answers your question :) -*Midnight Reader*-(Thanks!) Rainshadow(Hard-to-
get is the understatement of the millennium ^_^) Ambrosius(Evil we can do!
^_~) ~*Jessica Lynn*~(Thank you very much! I dunno bout Crystal but I love
writing with her. And our characters thank you ^_~ Woohoo!) ClarKeRaVen(I
think you can decide after reading this. And yes she did. It was probably
the worst and best things she had ever done in her life. Well.. as of *yet*
^_~ And yes, she did make Star smile. But now she's asking herself why
can't she do it again.) Prongs(Oh do hope you feel better! :) Nutting(The
law of nature? Actually I have. The title represents everything our society
frowns upon [Well except Holland, where it is legal to have gay and lesbian
marriages], a.k.a. boy/boy and male/male relationships.)
"What're you--"
The door closed, and Kaleb was gone.
"--talking about?" Draco finished lamely.
Harry chuckled, "What did I tell you? Kaleb can handle Star."
"So you did," Draco grinned at him. "*I* on the other hand, can handle *you*."
"Is that so?"
Instead of answering, Draco grinned evilly and pulled the covers over their heads.

Kaleb ran back down the hall and through Hogwarts, ignoring the burning in her lungs from lack of air and the cramping in her legs. She hoped that Star was where she thought the other girl would be; in the one place she would get peace from the other students and teachers.
Kaleb paused at the foot of the staircase, leaning her hand against the wall as she tried to catch her breath. When her breathing had finally become normal again, the Gryffindor headed up the stairs.
Star was indeed up there, lying on her side on the floor, her eyes closed in sleep. Kaleb pushed the door open slowly, tiptoeing inside the room. She knelt down beside the other girl, reaching out a hand and stroking Star's silvery-blonde hair. Kaleb watched as the Slytherin's gray eyes slowly opened, then sleepily focused on her.
Star sat up in alarm, sliding away from Kaleb. "Why're you following me?"
"I was worried about you," Kaleb told her, staying where she was.
"Why?" Star looked at her with suspicion, her eyes narrowed. "It's not like we're friends."
"No. We're not friends." Kaleb sighed. "But that doesn't mean that I don't care about you. Star, when we worked together to make Harry and Draco a couple, I for once felt as though I had a true friend. But now, you act like we've never talked civilly before in all our time at Hogwarts. And not only that, but even Draco's concerned about you. We know something's wrong, and I think I figured out what it is."
Star didn't say anything, crossing her arms over her chest in defiance.
Kaleb inched towards her as she spoke, "Draco's always been there with you, like your counterpart almost. And now that he has Harry, you feel jealous."
"Jealous?!" Star bristled. "Why would I be *jealous*?? I helped get them together! I couldn't be happier for Draco!"
Kaleb raised her hands in defense, stopping right in front of the other girl, "I never said you weren't happy for him. All I'm saying is that on some level, you want to know why you can't be happy like him."
"Oh really," Star said, sounding like she thought Kaleb was insane. "And just *what* can you do about it?"
Kaleb leaned in, smiling at the other girl, "This."
And she kissed her.
AN: *chuckles* I know you're probably fuming right now because we stopped this chapter here ^_^ Bwahha Cliffhanger! Eep! *runs away before various objects can be flung in her general direction*
