"I got a detention!" Katie was going crazy, stupid potions, stupid Snape. Why didn't she just listen!

"Why?" Hermione asked.

"Added an incorrect ingredient to my potion, blew up the dungeons. I have to clean it!" Katie said

"Oh..." Hermione giggled at the thought of Snape's reaction. "Maybe someone else got a detention too, so you won't be alone down there!"

Alicia came into the common room, howling with laughter. "Guess...what!" she said between giggles. "Flint...got...a...de..tention!"

Katie's jaw dropped, holy crap. "Wh..what?"

"Flint got a detention because he was caught skipping class!" Alicia managed to say before she went into a fit of giggles again.

"Holy Crap!" Hermione shouted "A Gryffindor and a Slytherin trapped down in those dungeons for a whole detention isn't going to be good!"

"What do you mean?" Alicia stopped laughing

"I got a detention, have to clean the dungeons with whoever else got one today!" Katie said

"Yea, you and Flint'll have a dandy time down there!" Fred said, he turned around to look at Katie, "Potion bottles left everywhere!"

"And the fact that he likes you!" Angelina looked up from her book, giggling.

"He what?" Katie shouted

"Flint likes you sweetie," Angelina got weird looks from everyone.

"Flint likes Katie?" George's eyes widened as he entered the common room with Lee.

"Well, why else would he have stopped to find out why she was crying and not laugh and then offer to use a spell to get rid of her tear-stains..." Alicia recalled this morning.

"He offered to help you get rid of tear-stains?" George grinned at Fred

"How sweet! Flint and Bell sitting in the dungeons...K-I-" Fred sung

Katie bounded over and started to strangle Fred, but Angelina was just as fast. She grabbed Katie's wrists and pulled them off poor Fred's neck.

"Aw poor Fred!" Alicia said "Need your girlfriend to look after you!"

"Yes he does!" Angelina kissed Fred's cheek and then stuck her nose in the air.

~*~Later That Evening~*~

"Ah... Marcus Flint, Katie Bell." Flich smiled "You'll be cleaning these dungeons tonight. I will be taking the younger students to do theirs so I expect as fourth and seventh years you will set good example and stay on task!" Flich turned with three younger students following.

Flint grinned "You do know what Snape leaves behind don't you?"

Katie grinned back "According to the Weasley twins, some of the best stuff!!"

"Yea, he's got this potion that you splash everywhere and it turns the room into a mirage.."

"I wish I was at the beach..." Katie exclaimed, Flint started to rumage though some old bottles and pulled out a murky blue potion.

"Here," He said "Splash it around, should make you think your somewhere else."

Katie took the bottle and pulled out the cork. She splashed it everywhere and suddenly her and Flint were standing at the beach under the stars.

"Oh my god!" She whispered looking up "It's so beautiful."

"Hard to belive we aren't acctually here, isn't it?" Flint smiled, taking her hand in his.

There was an uneasy silence for a while untill Flint leaned over and kissed Katie's lips.

'oh my god!' Katie thought to herself 'a Slytherin is kissing me... and not just any Slytherin... he's the Quidditch captain for Slytherin! I'm supposed to be like aganist this right?'

Katie broke the kiss after a little while, realising how long they'd been down there. "Um, Flint... shouldn't we sorta turn off the mirage thingy?" she whispered.

"Uh... um... yea... that's an idea..." Flint grinned "and uh my name's Marcus..."

"Marcus, then do you know how to get us back?" Katie giggled nervously

"What's wrong?" Flint asked, changing the subject "Your mood's had a sudden change..."

"Just thinking..." Katie replied

"About..."

"How much Wood is going to bloody well kill me when he finds out about tonight... he keeps telling me not to trust any of the other captains especially you but I'm a big girl, I can look after myself."

"I don't trust him either but I can see where he's coming from... I'm like that with my team." Flint smiled as he flicked his wand and they found themselves back in the dungeons with less than an hour left.

Rushing around Katie stacked the potion bottles while Flint sweeped everything under loose tiles and anything else that might hide the dust.

After they finnished, Flint kissed Katie again, as they broke the kiss she whispered, "So does this mean we're a couple?"

Flint grinned "I guess so..." he replied as Flich came down to look at their job. He gave it a quick look.

"Alright off to bed the both of you!" Flich said hurrying the two off.

Katie and Flint walked hand in hand back to the Fat Lady, where Katie stood on her toes to give Flint a goodnight kiss.

"Love you..." she whispered afterwards.

"Love you too..." Flint whispered back as he tip-toed off back to the Slytherin Common room.

"A Gryffindor and a Slytherin eh?" The Fat Lady asked, "Never in my whole four-hundred painted life have I seen a Gryffindor dating a Slytherin... and what were you doing out of bed anyway?"

"Detention" Katie hissed as so not to be heard "Cornish Pixie" she yawned and the Fat Lady swung open and let Katie into the common room.

She tried to slip upstairs without being heard but Wood was up studying. "Heard about your evil detention with Flint, how'd it go?" he asked

"Fine thanks," she said, trying to get awat before he asked any more questions

"You seem akward about it, anything you wanna talk about?" he asked,

"Nah, it went fine, don't worry he didn't harm me..." She grinned

"Ok then, night Kit-Kat!" Wood went back to his studies

"Night Ollie" she giggled quietly and raced upstair to bed.
