Chapter 7
Kitty turned to Ron.
"Oh, hold on sweetie," she said to him. "I promised someone I'd meet them for a brief goodbye. Promise I'll be right down," she assured Ron as she kissed his cheek.
"Ok, I have to get something ready anyways," he replied.
With a wave, Kitty turned and walked toward the stairs that led up to the 3rd floor corridor. She wasn't worried about curfew, because it was only 2:07. She passed up a few paintings that lightened her mood, not that she had been upset or anything. There were a few knights having a party, but the party was over and the red knight was staggering around laughing hysterically while the green knight lay passed out by a tree.
She climbed the last step and turned left toward a coat of armor that stood there, sleeping. She made her way down the corridor and saw Draco at the end of it standing by the picture with a vase of roses. He smiled at her as she approached him.
"I'm so glad you came," he said when she was within hearing range.
"I wouldn't leave you waiting all night, would I?" she joked. "I can't stay long, though. Ron's waiting for me by the lake and he said it was something important."
"This won't take long," Draco said. "I just wanted to talk to you about something."
"Ok, shoot."
"Come in here," Draco motioned toward an empty classroom with a couple of desks and chairs.
They entered the room and Kitty sat down. Draco chose to pace back and forth beside a desk.
"What's bothering you?" Kitty asked, concerned.
"Well, don't take this offensively, but..." Draco trailed off.
"But what?" Kitty asked apprehensively.
"But what's going to happen between us?" Draco rushed.
"What do you mean?" Kitty asked, a little confused.
"I mean, tomorrow is graduation. After that, we go on and live our own lives. I want to know where I stand on your list of priorities."
Kitty thought for a moment, taken aback. She hadn't expected this, but she was not angry with Draco.
"You-you're a great friend, and I love you, but..." this time she trailed off. "But I don't think I have as special a connection with you as I do with Ron." She looked at him, hoping he wouldn't hate her. Draco was deep in thought.
"Yeah, I know what you mean," he started slowly. "It's just...well can you give this some more thought and tell me your final decision tomorrow?"
"Sure," Kitty replied. She was relieved that she had until tomorrow to think about this. She was halfway through with the important things. Now all she had to do was find out what Ron had wanted her for.
"Is that all Draco?" Kitty asked.
"Basically," he answered.
"Well..." Kitty hesitated.
"Wait, I have something for you," Draco reached into his pocket and pulled out a black velvet box. He smiled shyly. "I thought I'd get this for you. It's so that you'll never forget me when we don't see each other anymore."
"Aww," Kitty sighed as she reached out for the box. She opened it to reveal a necklace with a ruby shaped like a rose. Kitty gasped. "Oh Draco! It's beautiful! You're so sweet!" She ran up to him and gave him a huge hug, followed by a sweet kiss. He pulled away uncertainly.
"Listen, I know you have to go and meet Ron, but I just wanted to say that I know things have changed between us, and we're not the people we used to be, but I just want you to know that I will always be there for you no matter what. I'll always be your friend, Kitty."
"Thanks Draco, I'll always be your friend too." She gave him a final hug and turned to head down toward the lake. "I'll see you tomorrow, Draco!" she called out, and with that, was gone out of his sight. He looked longingly after her.
"Kitty Jameson," he said out loud. "Do you have any idea how much you mean to me? I would do anything for you."
After a few moments when he was sure that Kitty was gone, Draco followed suit. He was going to go down to the lake and hear what Ron had to say to her. Draco had to see how Kitty acted with Ron to figure out which course of action to take. He needed to know...

There's chapter 7. I'm sorry it's short, but I had no idea what else I wanted Kitty and Draco to talk about. The next chapter is longer, I promise. It's also super sweet, just like the last chapter of the whole story (chapter 9; I have it ALL planned out). Check back sometime next week! Oh, and I guess I'll thank DracoGirl even though she only reviewed 2 times, but she's my "sis" and I don't want her stupid lil shun wall up on me, so there, Amanda, are you happy?
