I'd reward myself for the perfect pranks I pulled by writing this. Sorry it
took a little longer than I thought it would, but TADA!! Anywayz, stop
reading this and ENJOY!!
Disclaimers:I don't own this. Just the plot. All from the twisted mind of FireGoddess.MWAHAHAHAHA!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry felt as though time stopped again as the talk suddenly died and became deathly quiet. He swallowed and Kittie squeezed his hand. Reassured, he threw out his chin and took a step forward.
As if it was the sign the world had been waiting for, a clang rang through out the Hall as the students all dropped their forks, spoons, and cups. The clatter seemed jerk everyone out of their suprise and everyone stood up, talking quickly.
Hermione and Ginny both burst into tears and tackled Kittie to the ground. Ginny laughed and sniffed as Hermione blubbered something unlegible. Kittie giggled and helped them up
Harry felt someone clamp his shoulder and turned, stunned to see who he saw. Draco laughed and took his hand off his shoulder, sweeping Kittie up in a hug so big, that he lifted her clear off the ground.
The small first year that Kittie tutored ran up and jumped into her arms. She planted a small kiss on her cheek and wailed. Kittie shook her head in disbelief and put the girl down as Ron and Harry exchanged high- fives.
Dumbledore shot a few scarlet sparks into the air and the Great Hall quieted again. Pansy and Kittie exchanged glares as Harry pulled her to the door Dumbledore was waving them through.
Harry recognized the room he went into when he was announced the fourth champian. He flopped comfortably on the couch and wrapped his arm around Kittie's shoulders.
Dumbledore cocked his eyebrows at Kittie and asked, "So, Kittie. Have a interesting week?"
Kittie grinned. "Better believe it."
Dumbledore sat in a chair in front of the fireplace and leaned forward. "So. What happened?"
Kittie took a deep breath and began her story, stopping at when Lupin saved them from the possessed chains. She purposely left out whatever Voldemort said to her before Harry got there. It didn't pass Harry or Dumbledore. But before he could ask, the headmaster cleared his throat.
"That was quite an episode you went through, Kittie. I think I have something that just might cure you of it."
"Please, proffessor. Don't put a memory charm on me."
Dumbledore chuckled and shook his head. "No. I had something better in mind. But I think I am correct to think that you two are quite tired?"
As if on cue, both Harry and Kittie broke into large yawns.
He chuckled again. "I thought so. I shall wait until the both of you have refreshed your batteries. Good ni-er-morning."
Kittie laughed and stood up. She shoved Harry out of the back door.
"What? We're not going out through the Great Hall?"
Kittie stared at him in disbelief for a second. Then, deciding that the question wasn't worth answering, continued to walk up the stairs leading to the tower.
Harry laughed and jogged up to her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ron was reading in a chair next to him as Harry woke up. Harry blinked twice, but the book was still there.
Ron looked up. "Are you feeling alright?" He asked, closing the large book.
"I could ask you the same. Are you reading?! Where are the cameras when you need them?"
He scowled as Harry stood and grabbed a towel.
"Fine. Take a shower. I can be patient." Ron crossed his arms.
"Good."
"Harry!"
He shut the bathroom door and held back a laugh. Sure enough, as he opened the door afterwards, Ron was bouncing impatientle on the bed. He jumped off and pushed Harry into a chair in front of the mirror.
"Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!" He sat on the drawers in front of the chair and shot back up. He threw the brush on Harry's bed and sat back down again.
"Do I have to?" Harry assumed that he deserved a little fun after a long night.
Ron made a puppy face and Harry laughed. "That never works, Ron. But alright."
So he told him everything. The cave of gold, Aragog, the small castle, Kittie, the spiders, the nymphs, and the chains.
As he finished telling him about Lupin, the door flew open and Hermione wrapped her arms around Harry's neck. Ginny bounced on her toes behind her, waiting for her turn.
"We're so sorry we didn't greet you when you came back this morning, Harry." Hermione said as Ginny hugged him. "But with Kittie back and all..."
Harry laughed again. "It's alright. I kinda understand."
Ginny stood next to Hermione and smiled. "Yeah, I suppose you would."
He flushed and Colin Creevey burst in. "Oh. Hi everyone."
Harry cocked his eyebrows. "Yes?"
"McGonagall just announced that the fifth years are taking O.W.L's on schedule tomarrow. Ten'o clock."
Hermione screamed, making Harry and Ron plug their ears. Ginny paled. "What about exams?!"
"Tomarrow, 9 o'clock."
Ginny screamed and ran after Hermione as she flew out of the dorm, knocking Colin on the way.
Harry helped Colin up and shook his head. "She can't do that!"
Colin brushed himself off. "She just did." He sniffed and ran out to his own dorm to study.
~~~~~~~~~
Harry ran his hand through his hair for what felt like the thirtieth time. The O.W.L's proved to live up to it's reputation. Ron groaned lightly and erased his answer. Hermione uncrossed her legs and re-crossed them again, nervously. Kittie began to hum again.
"Ms. Silcia!" McGonagall snapped. "Do be quiet!"
Kittie looked up from her parchment and rubbed the back of her neck.
Four hours later, Harry flopped next to Kittie on the hill in front of Hagrid's hut. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny followed suit.
"I still have my Potions exam tomar-" Ginny began to complian, but Kittie shushed her. "What?"
Harry understood Kittie's want for silence. The exams were certainly exhasting, but somehow refreshing. He didn't have to go through anything like that until the following year.
After about a hour of silence, Ginny whimpered, begging to talk. Kittie laughed. "Alright Ginny.......Now."
And Ginny's complaints, worries, and thoughts began to flood out and Harry fought the urge to laugh. It was great while it lasted.
Finally Ginny sighed and sat up. "Let's go inside. It's too hot."
Kittie sat up and stretched. "Alright. We should be getting our scores back soon anyways."
They trudged slowly towards the school and someone called out. Draco ran towards them, his hair sticking up from running his fingers in it. He gave Ginny a peck before Ron began to growl.
"You know, Ron. Growling only sexy when it's coming from a girl." Kittie said as Draco sneered. Ron looked at her in suprise. Hermione giggled and took his arm. "Only one girl's opinion."
Draco plugged his ears as Ron gaped at her. Harry cleared his throat. "Lunch, anyone?"
Kittie's stomach growled. "I'm game."
~~~~~~~~~
Pansy sneered at Kittie. She didn't notice the large piece of lettece sticking out of her teeth and Harry snorted into his pumpkin juice.
Kittie fought the smile twitching her features. "Too bad you had to cut your vacation short, Silcia!"
A pink tinge grew on Kittie's cheeks and she picked up a pasty. Pansy's sneer disappeared as the pasty splatter on her forehead. She wiped the crumbs from her eyes and threw a plate at her, like a frissbee (A/N. not sure if I spelled that right, my spell check is gone. I hate computers. Or maybe it's just mine...sorry! read on!). Kittie ducked and the plate hit Cho in the forehead. Her eyes crossed, and she clutched her forehead. As the dazed look in her eyes disappeared, she picked up a spoonful of sweet potatoes.
"That's not the first time you hit me in the forehead with something, Parkinson. Fill your mouth with something sweet for once! But guessing from the tummy, I could be wrong!"
Pansy's outraged expression disappeared as the pasty's crumbs were replaced with sweet potatoe. Kittie and Cho exchanged high-fives and they both ducked as she threw a tomato their direction.
It hit Ron, who stood on the table, with a large bowl of pudding in his hands. Pouring the chocolate over Draco's silvery hair, he yelled, "FOOD FIGHT!"
Ginny retailiated as Draco wiped the chocolate from his hair. She threw a meatball at Ron, who ducked. It hit George, who stood and began plummeting her with carrots. Kittie grabbed Harry's hand and ran out.
They shut the large door behind them, as war broke out. Kittie leaned against the door, panting.
"I know I'll regret that but..."
"Ms. Silcia! Mr. Potter! What are you two doing?!"
McGonagall sailed down the stairs and stopped in front of Kittie, who was too stunned to speak. "I-er-we-it's just-well-"
The headmistress held up a hand. She gave them both envolopes. "These are your scores. Hope you did well. Now, Ms. Silcia, if you'd please move.."
"But Professor-"
"Now, Ms.Silcia!"
Kittie slowly walked away from the door and stood next to Harry. McGonagall reached for the two handles.
"Professor! I wouldn't do that if I were y-!" Too late. McGonagall threw open the door and a pasty hit her face. Kittie took Harry's hand again and they ran to the Griffindor Tower as McGonagall began to yell herself hoarse.
They flopped onto the couch in front of the fireplace, ripping open their scores.
Harry stared blankly at the parchment.
Potions- 1
Charms- 3
Transfiguration- 1.5
Defense Against the Dark Arts- 4.5
Cares of Magical Creatures- 1
Total: 11 O.W.L's. Congratulations.
Harry's jaw flapped wordlessly. They didn't get tested on things they didn't need like Divination, for which he was grateful. Eleven O.W.L's?!
Kittie smiled and folded her parchment again, but Harry took from her reading it.
Potions- 2.5
Charms- 3
Transfiguration- 2.5
Defense Against the Dark Arts- 5.5
Cares of Magical Creatures- 2.5
Total: 16 O.W.L's. Congratulations.
"16 O.W.L'S?!" Harry yelled. "HOLY-"
"Harry! Kittie!" Hermione ran into the common room and swept Kittie up into a hug, covered in food. She shoved a parchment into Kittie's hands. She cocked her eyebrows.
"18 O.W.L's! Way to go, Hermione!" She returned the hug and Hermione grabbed the parchment, running out of the room to show Ron.
Harry looked at Kittie. "You did that on purpose didn't you? Screwed the exams over so that Hermione got more than you. You didn't even put effort into 16 O.W.L's!"
Kittie picked up her bag and flung it over her shoulder. "Very good, Harry."
She began to walk to her room. "Wait!" She spun around.
"Where are you going?!"
"I'm going to write Remus. I promised I would once I got the scores back."
"Why the long face?"
She sighed. "Do you know how depressing it is not to try in a exam and get more than the people who did study all year? It makes me something I'm not. That's why I didn't try. Hermione deserves the place better than I do."
Harry couldn't find the words as she continued to her room, locking herself in.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The next chappie will be the last. And from the reviews, yes there will be a sequel. But I'm going to make a small ficlet about what happens when Hermione and Kittie stay over the Weasley's for a weekend. Pure humor ficlet. Title will be "Girl's Night Out." But they never really leave the house. Sorry for the GOF spoiler in the begginning of the chap. Anywayz, review!
