By the way, CSG and I have started yet another fic. It's pure humor, pure Pansy bashing and just pure fun! Slashyness included of course. The idea was purely Crystals, I just weaseled my way into writing it with her ^_~. It's called 'A Hogwarts Christmas Carol' so go take a look! We'll love you forever!



In a few precious seconds Star forgot about where she was and what was happening. All she could feel was someone's lips upon her own, warm and soft. Then her mind screamed, telling her the lips belonged to Kaleb and automatically she shoved the other girl away, causing her to stumble, lose her balance and fall.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!?" Star nearly screamed, walking a few steps away from her in self-defense.

"Lying on my ass on this floor, thanks to you." Kaleb pulled herself up and dusted her robes off. Star watched her, both wanting to tackle her to the ground and punch her until she turned black and blue. But something she couldn't quite place held her back.

"No! What the hell was that?"

The Gryffindor raised a surprised eyebrow. "Don't tell me you've never heard of a kiss."

"Stop being a smart ass! What-what was that for?"

Kaleb smiled wickedly. "I'll tell you some other time."

She could almost see the temper in Star rising with every word. "FUCK YOU!"

"Ah maybe later."

With a cry of rage Star lunged at her, tackling her against the solid stonewall in back of her. Kaleb felt her skin bruising in numerous places, but she retained her grin. "My my, feisty aren't you. I like that."

Star raised a closed fist, aiming it at Kaleb's face. "Why are you doing this?"

Kaleb instead, eyed her fist and asked innocently, "Going to hit me Star?"

Star used her free hand to clutch at her shoulder and slam her against the wall again. "Answer me!"

"Go ahead." She whispered enticingly. "Hit me. You know you want to."

Star looked at her with a silent cry of fury. The seconds ticked by and she still hadn't moved.

"Well? I'm ready."

"Arrgg!" She gripped her body and smashed her against the wall once more before fleeing.

"Ouch," Kaleb muttered, sliding to the floor, her grin still intact.

Pulling up the sleeves of her robes she inspected what damage was done. Not much. A few nasty bruises where Star's fingers dug into her shoulders and a bump on her head, but that was it.

"I'll live."

She then closed her eyes, replaying the moment again in her head. Then she *laughed*, long and hard.

Wiping the tears away from her eyes, Kaleb stood up and leaned against the window, gazing at the stars twinkling madly in the dark colored sky. "Ah Star you looked so.. priceless. Torn between how you are and how you want to be, what will you choose?"
