"Houses Merged?" Snape asked.
"All fighting as one. We need to make an announcement about the rivalry. It needs to stop or else were screwed," I said.
"You're leaving something out," Leo said walking over.
"I so am not."
Leo raised his eyebrows at me.
"Okay. The only thing I'm leaving out is my feelings on this houses merged thing. I'm fine with it, but if I have to fight next to Malfoy..... let's just say it isn't my fault if he loses a hand."
Leo kept glaring, but then dropped it.
"I'll make the announcement tonight. Kailie, I am going to pull you, Harry, Ron, and Hermione from your classes until after this. I want you two to practice with Leo. Leo I want you and Kailie to step up the fighting skills. Alright?" Dumbledore asked.
"Fine with me," Leo said.
We al started to walk towards the Dining Hall.
"I'm gonna skip dinner," I said.
"You okay?" Leo asked.
"Yeah. I'm gonna take Lightning for a walk then Go to bed. Night," I kissed Leo.
As I walked away I heard Leo say 'Night.'
Would you dance
if I asked you to dance?
Would you run
and never look back?
I walked into my room where Lightning was sleeping with his head on my pillow. I put the blanket on him and he still slept. I walked over to the window and sat.
Would you cry
if you saw me cry?
And would you save my soul, tonight?
Lightning came over and sat. He looked me in the eyes. A tear slipped from mine and he wiped it away with his nose. I laughed a short laugh and laid there with Lightning.
Would you tremble
if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.

"Alright. Today we're stepping things up. You heard what Dumbledore said. You need to make alliances with each other. No arguments. Any bad feelings you have for on another, throw them out, your life may depend on it. Pick someone who is not in your house for practice with," Leo said.
Everyone did. I picked up a sward as Leo did.
"Now watch as she blocks my moves. This is what you're practicing," Leo said.
I slipped on my headphones. I nodded.
Now would you die
for the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.
I blocked Leo's moves. Then the class started. Harry, Leo, and I walked around correcting where it needed to be done.
"Now. We'll call one up at a time to fight Kailie, so we can see where you stand," Leo said.
"What?!" I said along with half of the class.
"Come on Kat. You can beat any of them," Leo said.
"Your better then Dead boy here," Harry said.
I growled.
"Call `em up, but since I'm doing this you have to take out Lightning for a month," I said.
"Week," Leo said.
"Fine."
Leo called Draco up.
"Lightning?" Draco asked.
"Yeah you know the wolf that scared your knickers off," I said.
"I'll count to three then you can start," Leo said.
"Hold it," I said putting my headphones back up.
"3...2..1.."
We started.
I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
This continued till the class ended.
"What are you listening to that has you so concentrated? You are never like this?" Hermione asked.
"Hero," I answered.
"Why Hero?" Leo asked as the next class pilled in.
"A promise a boy gave me long ago," I told him then sat in the back by Lightning.
*****
I sat on my bed writing letters. I looked at Lightning.
"Am I doing the right thing?" I asked.
It may not be the right thing, but if it makes you feel better then it is.
"Thanks," I said then did a double take.
We both looked at each other with wide eyes.
"I heard your thoughts," I said.
You did?
"No I just have a good imagination."
Smart ass.
"Hey!"
This could be really cool. We should tell that Merlin guy.
"Okay want to go now?"
It should be good. Hey since tomorrow is Saturday can you make that beef stew again. Yours this time like you promised?
I stood. "You are a spoiled wolf."
What can I say. You love me.
I laughed. We walked to Dumbledore's office. We were soon stopped by Snape.
This Snapey?
"Yep."
Can I growl at him? Maybe a little nip at his ankles?
"Fine with me."
"Are you talking to a wolf?" Snape asked with his eyebrows raised.
Are you a gothic? God what a peach cake. Hey Peaches like that Angel guy you were telling me about.
"Snape doesn't have a soul and he's not a vampire," I told Lightning. "Well are you going to?"
Lightning started to growl and we walked past Snape and up the stairs into Dumbledore's office.
He almost wet his pants.
"Tell me about it. He was terrified."
"Who was?" Professor Dumbledore asked walking in from behind us.
"Snapey. We, being Lightning and I, need to talk to you."
Actually you need to talk. I will do the howling and growling.
"Now who's the smart ass?" I asked.
Lightning did a little bow. Dumbledore ignored that.
"What did you need to talk to me about?"
"I can hear Light's thoughts. We can talk basically."
Can you say it any more bluntly? Give the old man a heart attack.
"Hey!"
Sorry.
"Indeed you can. Perhaps you can use this to your advantage in the upcoming fight."
Whoa who said anything about me fighting. Leave that to the Chicken here.
"I am not a chicken, fuzz ball."
You're acting like a kid. Wait you are. Never mind. Give me time to come up with another insult.
"God," I said rolling my eyes.
Leo ran in.
Oh great. Here come your lover boy.
"I can kick you just so you know," I told Lightning.
Like you would to a poor innocent me?
I snorted. "Innocent my ass."
"Huh?' Leo asked.
"She can hear the wolf's thoughts," Dumbledore said.
"Oh okay.....Wait huh?" Leo said.
Lightning did a wolf-laugh.
Hey when are you two getting married?
"I am not getting married you mutt."
What ever. You two are going to. You two love each other. Just get it over with.
"At this rate your going straight for sleeping outside tonight."
Shutting up now.
"It's about time."
Lightning nipped my ankle.
"Ouch," I said.
"Well. This is lovely," Leo quipped.
"Shut up," I said as Lightning thought it
