"So, do you like it here in Hogwarts?" asked Fred.
"I suppose so," replied Kitty.
"Is it any different than your old school?" questioned Ginny.
"Yes, is it?" Hermione chimed in.
"Why are you all so curious about my old school? It's not that important, is it?" Kitty questioned back at them.
"Just to see what it's like!" replied George and Fred in unison.
"It was my past, and I'll tell you about it when I feel like it, okay? Now please let me spend the rest of the evening the way I feel and don't bother me."
Now, Kitty was trying to hold back some tears. It was disdainfully hurting her to talk about her old school. Remembering everything back there was hurting. She ran all the way to the 5th year Girls' Dormitories. She flopped on her bed and those tears she fought were coming back.

Flashback:
"Really depressing, listening to that old coot talk about the Dark Arts. He can make even something as interesting as THAT sound BORING! Honestly, I'd say we'd need a new Defense Agianst the Dark Arts professor!" came the voice of Cherry.
"I totally agree! He can't teach us a bit!" Piper chimed in.
"How incredibly lame!" voiced Mickey.
Perfect, Kitty, Cherry, and Hyper had just come from the 5th year DADA class. Piper and Mickey had just joined them and now six of them were walking, side-by-side, talking.
Out of nowhere, a handsome looking blonde came from behind. His hair was pulled back with hair spray. His eyes, an ice blue. Fully American. He had the sweet look. Another boy was beside him.
This boy looked of Italian decent, but no one could really tell if he was or not. He had black hair, but not totally jet-black. He was as tall as the first boy, but was probably an inch or two taller if studied by, carefully. His face held a "popular" look upon it. Behind him, was another boy who tried to catch up with the two.
This one, looked a little like the Italian one, only not so much. He was the same height. He was the same age. He had the same hair. The only thing different was his appearance. This one held a quiet air around himself.
The blonde walked straight up, behind Kitty's back. He was walking directly behind her, now. Out of nowhere, he covered both of Kitty's eyes, from behind.
"Guess who!" he asked.
"Hmmm, I wonder?" replied Kitty with a mix of sarcasm and amusement in her tone.
"Take a wild guess!"
"Could it be……my mischievous boyfriend, Tom?"
At that, the hands were taken off Kitty's eyes and she was able to see again. Tom now stood beside her. His features, cute as ever, silver blonde hair glistening in the sun.
"Is it a problem if I'm mischievous?" asked Tom
"Not really, I kinda like that about you." came the reply.
"I thought so!" And there, came the genuine smile of Tom Felton. The one that could always turn the world right side up for Kitty when it wasn't already. But right now, everything was okay.
With that, Tom's mouth enveloped Kitty's in a breath-taking kiss. The temperature was rising. Kitty knew it was. Nothing could be sweeter than this moment, right then and there.
Next to them, Jake and Perfect stood chatting. Jake was the guy who was walking by the side of Tom. Perfect and him had been going out for about three months already. They met at the beginning of the summer and now, it was already September. Perfect gave Jake a quick peck on the cheek. She really didn't like to be seen in public, kissing. Especially not in the Hallways of the school!
"That's all I get?" whimpered Jake. Then, he quickly brushed the lips of Perfect's with his own.
"Aww! How cute!" Kitty had just stopped kissing Tom.
"Shut up," came the embarrassed reply of Perfect.
Next to Perfect and Jake, was Cherry. She was conversating with T.J. at the moment. T.J. was the third guy who was struggling to keep up with Tom and Jake when they had been walking. He had a hint of red on his cheeks.
"Um, Cherry, would you, um……"
"Would I what, T.J.?"
"Gototheschoolopeningballwithme?" he said in a bit of a rush, totally shy and embarrassed.
"Excuse me?"
T.J. extracted a bunch of air, exhaled and started again. "What I meant to say is, Cherry, Wood ya go to da shool opning ball wit m?"
Yet again, he said it in a hurry so it sounded very weird, but at least you could understand it this time!
"T.J. You've asked me every year since the first. You know I like you, but only as a friend. Every year I answer the same. This year is no different. Sorry."
T.J.'s heart was crushed. It's been crushed for 5 years now. But still, he still hadn't given up on Cherry. He loved her. Secretly, Perfect and Kitty had always thought they made a cute couple.
J.J. had just arrived. He was late meeting them at Kitty's locker because he had to go to his own locker first.
"Hey, Hype." He came from behind and gave her a kiss on the cheek. She blushed, it was visible, but not that much.
"Chia!" complained Hyper.
Chia was Hyper's name for her boyfriend. He had a Chia sort of haircut. It was kind of funny. The others always laughed when Hyper teased him about it.
"What?" he answered, sounding surprised.
"Be like that!"
With that, Kitty, Tom, Perfect, Jake, Cherry, T.J., Piper, Diana, and even J.J. laughed.
They all finished with putting their stuff in their lockers. With that task done, they all strolled down the hallways of Terra Witch and Wizardry. They were all headed towards the Dining Hall. As they all walked together, they laughed, joked, giggled, had fun. They were the most biggest and inseparable group of friends in their year. Maybe even the whole school. No matter what, they were best friends for ever.
End: Flashback

God, I miss them. What are they doing now? Probably having fun without me! They aren't really the type to lay on their bed and cry, like I am, now. Tom's probably found another girl. I'm a loner, now. Sigh.
Painful memories sank into Kitty. She had already been laying there, crying for an hour. Just then, Hermione stepped in.
"I know you don't want top talk about that scene that happened before so let's talk about something else, to get your mind off whatever you're thinking to make you seem so depressed."
"Yes, I suppose that would be a good idea. But, what is there to talk about?"
"Hmmm, let's think… oh, I know! What was it that Malfoy was talking to you about in the Great Hall? You know, earlier today?"
"Oh no!"
"What's wrong?"
"Bloody hell! I totally forgot. I must go. I'll see you later. If I don't get lost, that is."
Kitty jumped off her four-poster bed. She ran to the mirror to check out how much damage the crying had done her, fixed her hair and left the room.
She rushed out the crowded Gryffyndor Room. Ron and Harry were there, but she was in such a rush, she hadn't heard their hurried apologies about upsetting her. She practically ran out of the portrait hole.
I hope he's still there…

Where the bloody hell is she? I KNEW she wasn't going to show up! Damn Bitch! Why am I even waiting here so long?
Draco checked his watch. It had already been an hour past the ending of dinner. Out of nowhere, Kitty suddenly appeared. She walked down the step leading to the Great hall and ran towards him.
"Why are you still here?" she asked.
"Well, what took you so long? I've been waiting here forever! You think you'd have totally forgotten about me, haven't you?" he drawled, the words struck Kitty's heart very painfully.
"I'm sorry. I'm not in the mood to be here, okay?" Tears welded up in her eyes. Now, Draco stared at her carefully and saw her puffy, pink eyes.
Oh Merlin, the girl's been crying. I'm such a jerk! And IO just said what I said to her and everything!
You've never started caring about being a jerk before!
Look, I thought I told you to fuck off!
Another conflict was going on inside Draco's mind. This time, he knew exactly which voice to follow, though. It was obvious that this girl had been hurt.
Kitty turned around and was just about to leave. She was wiping tears out of her eyes. Before she could leave, Draco grabbed her arm and turned her around.
Slowly, he raised both his thumbs towards Kitty's face. He wiped off the steady flow of tears. Surprised, Kitty just stood there.
"Kitty, what's wrong?" asked Draco, in what seemed to be his sweetest tone.
"It's nothing, really," as she said this, even more tears came pouring. Kitty turned her head so that her cheek faced Draco, trying to hide the tears.
It was most obvious to Draco, though, that she was still crying. And, he wanted to comfort her.
He took a step towards Kitty. Now they were just centimeters apart. He turned her face around so that it now faced him properly. He placed his placed an index finger at Kitty's lips, telling her to shush her already quiet sobs.
Surprised, Kitty blinked back a few tears. She just stared, curious at what he was about to do.
He closed the gap between them and enveloped her into a hug. She hugged him back, tight. It was as if she were clinging on to life. And they just stood there, in each other's arms.
Oh God! What am I doing? But she's fine now, at least.
