(A/N) Okay, let's see if I can pull this off. I'm still begging for ideas.
And thanks for reminding me that I have Snape and Lupin's classes to use up
for detention. Well, enjoy!

Kittie and Draco had their backs propped up against the wall on the second floor corridor, sitting on the floor next to each other.
Harry, who was becoming increasingly annoyed with Kittie's sudden appearances, hid behind a statue.
Kittie pulled out her wand and a white light appeared out of the tip. Once again music came out of it and Kittie and Draco rocked side to side at the same time. Draco shut his eyes and sang under his breath. Kittie checked her watched and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Draco asked, his eyes snapping open. "It's not a weekday is it?"
"No, but I promised a friend I'd stop by before curfew."
Draco opened his mouth to protest but Kittie was already down the hallway, clasping her cloak around her neck and pulling up her hood. Harry waited for Draco to stand and walk towards the dungons before he tiptoed after Kittie.
As he turned the corner he heard her vioce in a bathroom next to him. Moaning Myrtle's bathroom.
"I swear, Myrtle, I think Potter's stalking me."
Harry slid down the wall and listened harder.
"He can't be. Harry's got better things to do than follow you around." Myrtle's moaning vioce made Harry grin at her words. He silently cheered. "I'm sure it's just coincidence."
"With Potter, nothing is coincidence."
"Why do you hate him anyways? What did he do to you?"
Harry stretched his neck out to hear better.
"Everything! He judges Draco by the way HE sees him! He's annoying, pompous, and evil!"
"Harry defeated the Dark Lord! He's not evil!"
"The Dark Lord? How could I have forgotten he was back?"
"Harry has that kind of effect on girls."
A stunned silence followed Myrtle's words.
"What-What's that supposed to mean? You think I actually like that pitiful brat?!"
"Hidden attraction."
"I think you've been dead too long, Myrtle."
Myrtle let out a wail.
"Don't be sensitive about being dead, Myrtle! It's better than being alive and dealing with Potter."
Harry dug his nails into his palms. Myrtle continued to wail. Kittie sighed.
"I'm sorry, but it's almost curfew! I hope to see you at the match tomarro!"
Myrtle's wails stopped in suprise, and Kittie ran out of the bathroom, not noticing Harry sitting by the door.
~~~~~~~~
Harry walked out unto the field the next day and groaned. The sky was a dark gray, almost black, and defienatly showed signs of raining. He waited for Madame Hooch to blow the whistle.
He could see Cho out of the corner of his eyes waving him over. Only too happy to oblige, he flew over to her.
"Hi Harry.", she said with a toothy smile.
"Er..hi." Harry studied her in shock. She called him over to say "hi"? In the middle of the match?
Harry ducked as Kittie shot next to him. She gave him a look that clearly said,"Stop socializing and catch that snitch.". Alicia threw the quaffle at her and Kittie shot to the goal posts.
Cho coughed. As Harry turned to look at her, she began batting her eyelashes madly. Harry rolled his eyes. He shot to the other side of the pitch searching for the snitch.
Cho followed. Harry turned and was faced with her high-pitched giggles. He opened his mouth to say something,anything to make her stop giggling, but a large drop of water hit him on the nose. Cho shrieked as the rain came down in sheets. Ravenclaw called a time out.
Harry ran to his team as soon as his feet touched the ground. "How are we doing?" he gasped as he reached the twins, already soaked.
"We're up 80 points. We're doing great, Harry, but you need to catch that snitch before the rain impairs our judgment." Angelina took Harry's glasses off.
Blinking in suprise, he saw Kittie take out her wand and tap them. "There. They'll repel water now. Good luck, Potter." Harry didn't have a chance to reply because Madame Hooch's whistle blew.
As the game restarted, Harry spotted the snitch. He dived with Cho. He heard the first bludger shoot past his ear, and soon after, the second shoot towards him.
Harry knew that this one was going to hit and he couldn't take his eyes off the snitch to see where it was. Suddenly, a blur of scarlet dived next to him, in front of the bludger. He reached out further and wrapped his fingers around the golden ball.
He pulled out of the dive and quickly turned to where the blur had prevented the bludger from killing him. Too his suprise, he say Kittie sitting on her broom clutching her stomach in shock.
Harry flew over in time for him to catch her. She took a few raspy breaths, looked up to see who caught her, and her eyes rolled up in her head and she passed out.
~~~~~~~
After Harry carried Kittie to the Hospital Wing, he pulled up a chair and placed his forehead on the bed next to her arm.
He woke up later that night to feel someone poking his head.
"Potter? Potter, wake up."
He opened his eyes and adjusted his glasses. "Kittie."
"Yeah. I'm going back to the tower. Are you going to stay there all night?"
Harry blinked in the candlelight. "What time is it?"
Kittie impatiently crossed her arms and said,"Nearly eleven. Are you or are you not coming?"
"I'm coming. I'm coming."
As they made their way down the dark corridor, Harry took a deep breath and whispered, "Thank you."
Kittie turned to him in suprise. "Oh. Um..I guess we're even. If you hadn't caught me, I probely would have broken my neck along with half my ribs."
Harry nodded and they continued wordlessly.
"Potter?"
"Hmm?"
"What's going on between you and Chang?"
"Why do you care?"
"Just curious. Don't flatter yourself."
Harry cocked an eyebrow and answered, "Nothing. At least not now. What did she say to you when we first got detention?"
Kittie was silent for a few seconds before answering. "She called me an orphaned white trash." Seeing Harry's bewildered expression, she quickly added,"I know it's not a lot to get detention over, but to tell you the truth I was kinda looking for an excuse to curse her into next week."
Harry gave a small laugh. "Pernuctus Kneazle." He told the Fat Lady who sleepily mumbled something about hormones and teenagers before allowing them in.
As Kittie turned left to the girls' dorms, Harry followed.
"Where are you going, Potter?"
"I'm just making sure you don't pass out again on the stairs or something."
As they reached a door labeled "fifth year girls", Kittie turned to Harry.
"Well, good night."
"Yeah, see you in detention tomarrow. You're going to need a good night because it's with Snape."
"Great. That's going to grant me sweet dreams tonight." Kittie gave him a small smile before opening the door and disappearing behind it.
Harry stared at the closed door for a few minutes before going back to his dorm.
That night he sat in bed replaying the match and everything after it in his mind. He suddenly sat up.
"They get to have a *balcony*?!"
