"You're pulling my hair, Kittie!" Ginny whined. It was the beginning of December and,once again, Kittie, Ginny, and Hermione were sitting,alone, in the common room. Ok, not so alone, because Harry decided he might as well sneak out again under his nifty cloak.
"No pain, no gain."
"That's not funny."
"Girls!"
Everyone froze and looked towards the portrait hole. "Yes, Professor?"
McGonagall was standing in the doorway, hands on hips, and her lips thin. "Why aren't you in the library? Two of you have O.W.L.'s this year and I thought you would try to set a better example for the other years!"
Hermione and Ginny looked at Kittie. She put on the most charming smile Harry had ever seen.
"Professor," She started. "We were just discussing the thousands of ways to transfigure a rock into a hedgehog. We were going to silently study in the library, but it's so much more peaceful in here, and besides, I heard that there were hardly any seats in there at all."
Harry gaped. Kittie was as good at the charm game as he was!
McGonagall nodded, thoughtfully. "Yes, I do see your point. And as you and Ms. Granger are the top of your year, I'll let you continue your conversation. Have any of you seen Mr. Malfoy?"
Ginny stared. "You thought Dra-I mean-Mr. Malfoy would be *here*?" McGonagall sighed. "No, Ms.Weasley, I just assumed you three would know where he went. Never mind."
As soon as McGonagall left, Ginny shook her head, causing Kittie to pull it again.
"You know," she growled after hitting Kittie's foot in retailiation,"Draco has been acting strange lately."
Hermione agreed but Kittie stared into the fire. "Kittie? Do you know- "
"Yes."
"Well?"
Kittie blinked and tore her eyes away from the dancing flames. "Draco has to spend Christmas vacation at home."
Ginny's jaw dropped, but Hermione looked slow on the up take. "Is that bad?"
Kittie scoffed. "It's bad."
Ginny nodded. "We'll be lucky if he comes back in one piece, now that Lucius knows about Kittie."
Hermione gasped. "Lucius doesn't...does he?"
Kittie's eyes traveled back to the fire. "Remember when I said Draco and I had a lot in common?"
Hermione sat in stunned silence. Ginny changed the subject. "He caught the snitch about ten minutes into the match against Ravenclaw, didn't he?"
Kittie laughed. "You could of sworn it was Chang who had banshee in her blood for the way she screamed."
All three of the girls laughed and Harry quietly sat on the lest squishy arm chair he could find.
"So," Ginny said. "Is Draco going to be here for the masque?"
Kittie nodded. "The Masque is going to take place before the Hogwarts Express leaves."
"What are you going as?"
"I'm not telling you."
Ginny looked hurt. "Why?"
"It's a surprise."
Hermione scoffed.
"What about you two?"
Ginny grinned. "I'm going as a goddess."
Hermione blushed. "I'm going as a princess."
"Who are you two going with?"
Hermione jumped up. "Did you guys hear who asked Ron to the ball?"
Ginny's ears perked, but Kittie held up a hand. "Gossip, gossip." After a split second of silence, she asked, eagerly,"Who?"
Hermione grinned. "Parkinson."
Kittie gagged. "What did he say?"
"No, of course!"
"You're going with him aren't you?"
Hermione blushed and said something about the library. She ran out leaving Ginny covering her ears behind her.
"Who's Draco going with?"
Kittie cocked her eyebrows at Ginny as she twisted her hair up. "No one. Why?"
"Just curious!"
"Uh huh. What would Ron say,Ginny?"
"Something along the lines of 'hell no' and 'I'm going to kill him'?"
Kittie giggled.
~~~~~~~~~
A week before the Masque, Harry decided to go as a dementor. Just to stick Draco's foot in his mouth. Kittie refused to tell him what she was going as and who she planned to go with. But,as far as Harry could tell, no one.
He was sitting around a table with Ron, the twins, Kittie, Ginny, and Hermione.
"So Harry, who are *you* going with?" Hermione looked up at him from a fan of cards. She, Kittie, Ginny, and Ron were playing an *innocent* game of go fish since Ginny didn't know how to play poker.
Ginny grumbled as she was forced to take off her shoes. "Are you four playing strip *go fish*?"
Ron sneered at Harry. "Stop changing the subject, Potter. Who are you going with?" Kittie snapped at him as she angrily pulled off her socks.
He shrugged. "I dunno, I thought of asking Cho....". Kittie bit back an insult. Ginny gaped at him.
"Harry, you have only a week! She could be taken by now!"
Harry opened his mouth to defend himself, but Kittie was on her bare feet and shoving him out of the portrait hole. "Ask her. And don't come back until you have!"
She shut the portrait with a snap leaving Harry standing shocked in the middle of the corridor. "What just happened?" He asked himself aloud.
~~~~~~~~~~
Harry walked into the library and flopped on one the chairs. Just then, Cho waltzed in, with her rather large group of friends, as usual. Harry took a deep breath.
He walked over and pulled her by the arm behind a shelf of books, leaving the girls giggling behind them.
"Cho," he started, letting her arm go. "I was wondering. Will you go to the Ba-er- Masque, with me?"
Cho grinned broadly and nodded. Harry let out a relieved sigh. She giggled.
"What are you going as?"
Harry watched as she blushed. "A mermaid. You?"
"A dementor."
She crinkled her nose in disgust and opened her mouth, perhaps to tell him he couldn't, but he gave her a quick peck on the cheek, thanked her, and ran out of the library.
~~~~~~~~~~
"So?" Kittie asked, thankful to change the subject that she just lost her shirt. "What did she say?"
Harry did a double-take at her cross-bones bra and avioded her eyes, blushing. "Yes."
She crossed her arms, causing one of the twins to wolf whistle. She quickly unfolded them, put her cards flat on the table, and mumbled,"I'm folding. Good night."
Ron looked at her in suprise, down to his pants. "You can't fold in go fish!"
But Kittie had already grabbed her shirt, and disappeared up the stairs.
"And what does she mean, 'Good night'? It's seven o' clock!"
Hermione stood up,took up her socks and shoes, and muttured she was going to make sure she wasn't sick. Ginny followed, pulling on her robes over her uniform.
Ron slammed his cards on the table, and folded his arms.
"Girls." he growled.
