~Chapter Four- Decline~

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Jocelyn were walking down the hallway later on in the day, discussing the current events.

"The thing is, she was such an ass to me, but all the more, I still like her." Harry said, rubbing his casted arm.

"Well, you should talk to her and hear her out. I'm pretty sure her apology was completely sincere." Hermione said, dodging people down the corridor.

"Yeah, right. I mean, all those times I screwed up were accidental." Harry replied.

"Well, remember Harry, you got her completely soaked to where her clothes stuck right to her and to where it kinda, well, showed through." Hermione said "You just have to keep in mind that that can be the most embarrassing thing for a girl. I mean, all the guys can kinda see if you know what i mean."

Harry shrugged. Jocelyn still had the same giddy little look on her face, but, meanwhile people whre laughing histerically at Jocelyn.

"Ronnie," Jocelyn said, edging up close to him "they're scaring me. Why are they all laughing at me?"

"Well, honey" he began "There is a big large imprint on you head from the hospital bowl."

Harry and Hermione started laughing.

"I was only trying to be Darth Vador." she said childishly as she folded her arms.

"I'd like to see that impression." said Draco behind them.

Draco, like everyone else, fancied Jocelyn's beauty, but not her intelligence. Draco made sure that today, he had on his best suit and his best winning smile to impress Jocelyn.

"Can I help you Malfoy?" Ron said sternly, stepping in front of Jocelyn.

"Why yes, actually you can. I need someone to clean my mantle." he began "Because I have a feeling that a shiny new trophy will be on my mantle soon." Malfoy said, eyeing Jocelyn.

Ron gave Draco a look of warning, then rolled up his sleeves.

"Malfoy, you best go find your own girl." Ron said, his face turining red.

"Let that be Jocelyn's decison." he said "Would you like to go get some coffee?" Draco said, kissing Jocelyn's hand.

"Sure!" she said. But, when she was walking over to him she tripped over Ron's foot.

"Jocelyn!" Ron said. "Why are you going with him?"

Jocelyn didn't say anything she just got up.

"Gee what pretty colors." she said as she randomly walked down the hall.

"Its just coffee." Malfoy said, taking a few steps backwards. "She just wants a nice latte that you couldn't ever afford for her."

Ron looked like her was about to burst with anger. Hermione put her hand on his shoulder signaling for him to calm down. Suddenly, they saw Jocelyn run into a column in the middle of the hallway. Malfoy ran after her.

"Come on Ron lets just walk it off." Harry said.

~^*^~

It seemed that the Hogwarts corridors were getting colder every day to Harry and the rest of his friends. He hadn't talked to Katherine Ann for a week or two. Ron was still going out with Jocelyn, although she sometimes left him for Draco.

Harry sat in the Gryffindor Common Room by the fire reading a book. He turned his thoughts away long enough from his book to sense that someone was standing in front of him. He put down his book and to his surprise he saw Katherine Ann. He immediatly started reading the book.

"Look, I tried to tell you that day on the field that I was sorry." she said as Harry paid completly no attention to her. "And I am eternally grateful to you for saving me."

Harry turned the page "Your welcome."

Katherine Ann was silent for a moment or two. She then nervously but neatly folded her arms, brushed back her curly hair and said, "Look, I cannot tell you how sorry I am. I just have had a few things on my mind that I can't tell."

"Why the heck not? I mean I kinda deserve to know. I was only trying to be nice, welcoming, and trying to help when I messed things up in the first place." Harry said, a little perturbed with Katherine Ann.

"They're very personal otherwise I would tell you." Katherine Ann said, tears forming in her eyes.

"Well I guess I can understand that. I mean, I have that kinda thing too. Apology accepted." he said, a slight smile forming on his face.

There was a gap of silence for awhile but Harry felt better knowing that things that things were somewhat patched up between Katherine Ann and himself.

"So the 6th year Halloween Ball is coming up. Do you have a date?" she asked.

Harry cocked his eyebrow and said, "No, not yet anyway."

"Well, would you like to go with me?" she asked.

To Harry's surprise Katherine Ann was as cool as a cucumber. Harry never had that when someone asked him to a dance before. Harry had a really hard time making that decison.

A few moments past and he said, "Katherine Ann, look, I mean, your nice now I guess, and well to be honset I kinda fancy your looks, but I believe I'm going to have to decline."

Harry saw hurt in Katherine Ann's eyes. Katherine Ann got up and pulled the curly brown hair from her face.

"Okay, I'll just leave then." Katherine Ann said as she got up form the chair and left.

"Wait, don't be upset." he called after her.

Harry bent over and hung his head in his hands.

"Shit." he quietly murmurmed

"Yeah I'd say so." said a voice from behind

"What now Oliver?" Harry said, reconizing the voice.

"Well, see now since you said no, I'm going to be the hero and save the dame." he said as he walked at a fast pace towards the direction Katherine Ann walked in.

~*~

That night as Harry layed in his bunk with Ron overhead. All he could think about was Katherine Ann and Oliver. He knew from when he said it that he had made the wrong decision.

"How could I have said that?" he said quietly out loud.

"Beats me, I mean you have only been talking about her for the past three weeks." Ron said form above.

"Ron your up?!" Harry said surprisingly "Usually you are the first one to fall asleep."

"Why did you say no, Harry?" Ron asked.

Harry paused, "I guess I didn't want to take the chance of getting hurt again. No matter how many times she had glanced at me in a sinister way in the hall, I still liked her. No matter how many days she didn't talk to me, I still liked her. No matter how many times I saw her with Oliver, I still liked her. So I wanted to say yes, even if her approach was definetly early in our friendship. I just couldn't get the words yes out of my mouth."

"Yeah I know what you mean. Jocelyn and Malfoy have been going on dates here and there. And like I feel the same way as you do, but I never say anything about it to her. No matter how many times she cheats on me, I still like her. A bunch." Ron whispered.

"Well, no offense, but I don't even think she knows. Her intellect is smaller than a grain of sand." Harry said with a slight chuckle in his voice.

"Shut-up Harry!" Ron said throwing a pillow at him.

"Goodnight Ron." Harry said as he threw the pillow back to him

"Night Harry."
