Like a speeding bullet, a million thoughts rushed to Kat and Draco's heads all at once. Should they be doing this??????
Draco slightly pushed Kat forward. Kat's heart leaped as she suddenly realized the war of passion going on in her mouth. Kat flicked her eyes open quickly to see Draco's eyes were closed, and involuntarily slid her own shut. His tongue felt like a snake, darting in and out and all around.
Kat felt something soft hit the back of her knees and suddenly she was on her back, pressed against the fluffy bed. Draco's hands held hers up above her head, both of them breathing heavily. A small knock at the door made them both jump slightly.
"Leave." Draco yelled simply, and he studied Kat's face slightly before dipping his lips back down to hers. The fire of passion swept through Kat once again. She felt Draco's hand smoothly try to slide up the side of her shirt.....
"Boy, what do you think your doing?" A voice hissed behind them. Draco rolled off Kat and they both sprung up looking extremely guilty. They both realized how close they were and scooted away.
They lifted their heads up to meet the glaring eyes of Lucius Malfoy. Lucius looked Kat up and down with a disgusted sneer spread across his pale, sharp face. Lucius grabbed Draco's shoulder in a death grip and dragged him outside of the room. Kat heard them begin to fight with one another. She tiptoed quickly over to the door and peeked out.
"So, I come to congratulate you on a job well done and what do I find?" Lucius snapped. He began to circle around Draco.
"I think for once you have good idea, to keep the girl around to torture her a little longer, and now I see your real intentions. And with a traitor of the Deatheaters, with someone like her!" Lucius stopped and glared at him. Quicker than Kat's mind could register Lucius's fist smashed into Draco's cheek. Draco's head snapped to the side and simply stared back up at his father.
"Sorry, father." But Lucius was already half-way down the hall. Draco spun around, casting a quick glance at Kat. Kat gasped. Draco's eyes...they...they were..
Full of Pain?
Kat looked at him again and the icey, stoney gaze was back again. Kat breathed in quickly and walked after him.
"Draco, I should have known, I should have stopped." Kat pleaded. Draco just walked faster. Kat sighed and walked up to him again.
"I-I'm-I'm Sorry." Kat apologized. She mentally slapped herself, she shouldn't have to say sorry, he started it. But she knew deep inside she was sorry.
Draco stopped and looked at her, surprised. He watched her carefully, an uncomfortable silence dripping in the air.
Finally he said, "You shouldn't be here, Come on." He grabbed her hand and pushed Kat.
Kat put her arms up in front of her head in defense as she fell. She flew unceremoniously into the mud. She grunted and got up, the brown soaking into her robes.
Wait a second. She fell into the mud?
Kat looked around amazed. She was-outside! She had gotten out, she could go back to Hogwarts! She had the sinking feeling the Deatheaters would come after her again, but continued to bathe in her happiness for a few seconds more. Evne more unbelievable...Draco was the one who helped her escape.
He must have known where the fake walls were, which didn't surprise Kat in the slightest. They walked through a tree to get here, a tree! Who was to say there wasn't spots you could walk through in the castle? Obviously, there was.
Kat's heart felt an icy grip around it. What about Draco? What was he going to do? Kat knew he could handle himself, yet, she still knew that his father couldn't possibly figure that he was the one who helped her escape, could he?
Kat shook off the thought, and cautiously trekked into the Dark Forest. Scary thing was..this time she was alone. Kat's feet made only the slightest sound as they pressed into the black earth beneath her sneakers. She stopped every so often and hid behind a tree, to make sure there were no surprise ghosts or ghouls waiting for her.
Kat sighed in relief as she saw the slight glimmer of sunshine peeking through the shadowy trees. She began to jog slightly. Oops, put down her guard to soon.
She heard an unbelievably loud, shrieking cry coming from within the forest, but it soon got louder and closer. From within the darkness, two glistening white eyes shown through, peering right through Kat. Kat took a couple shaky breaths and steps towards the exit of the forest. The exit was about thirty feet away now, but Kat's legs buckled with fear as a terrifying creature with leathery, holed wings stepped into the dim light.
It let out another ear-piercing cry, as it revealed it's skeletal horse-like body. The creature turned its head a moment, seemingly sniffing the air. The creature's nose followed her scent and pointed its head directly at her, and began to gallop straight at her.
Go. Adrenaline. Run.
Kat shot off towards the forest exit like a jackrabbit. The cold autumn wind stung at her ears as it whooshed past her. She felt her feet land on the plush, green grass of the Hogwarts schoolyard, but that didn't stop her, she just kept running.
That was until she felt something hit her feet, and she fell for the second time to the ground.
Kat sprang back up, her bruised legs arguing with her, and looked behind her. The creature was hungrily tearing apart the thing she had tripped over. It looked to be a dead animal of some type. She looked down at her dirty shoes with disgust, but shrugged it off, thankful she wasn't inhaling her last breath right about now.
"Oy, Kat! What in the blazes do you think yur doin'?" A deep voice boomed from behind her. She sighed in relief to see one of her teachers, Hagrid, waddling ove rto her.
"Were' do ya think yave been all this time? Ministry an Dumbledore been worried sick bout' ya! Not te mention yur friends!" Hagrid said with concern. Kat's eyes searched the ground for an answer, but didn't find one. What was she going to say? Oh, Well I left to become a Deatheater because my father is Lord Voldemort, but I left. Not likely.
Hagrid placed a large hand on her back, slightly pushing her forward, "Ah, well. We better get ya to the hospital wing, ya look pretty scratched up there." Kat sighed in relief.
"What was that thing back there?" Kat said, pointing to the great horse far behind them. She winced as she heard the sickening sound of it tearing the guts out of the dead animal carcass.
"Oh, tha'? Well that there's a thestral. Hogwarts has got a whole lot of em'. Course there trained and all." Hagrid said with pride, pointing to himself. Kat faked a smile. Yeah, trained.
Kat felt a huge burden being lifted from her shoulders as she walked through the doors of Hogwarts again. Hagrid smiled and waved at her as he departed.
Kat traveled down the hallways to the Health Facility. From what she could tell, everyone had class. Nice welcome back party. Kat walked drearily into the Health Room, and the school nurse rushed up to her.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry about what happened to you!" Kat's eyes widened in confusion, but the nurse just blabbed on, "How that terrible Ogre came and kidnapped you, then left you inside of his hut all cold with no food! It must have been awful!" The Nurse said with compassion.
"W-w-what?" Kat stuttered. "I was never kidnapped, where did you hear all this?" Kat said loudly.
The nurse patted her on the shoulder, "Oh dear, you're in denial. I can understand. But you know, these things get around, honey." The Nurse informed her. Kat looked at her in disbelief.
She hit the Nurse's hand off of her shoulder, "I'm not in denial! I got back two minutes ago, and people are already spreading rumors???"
"Oh, well aren't we snippy. You had better get some rest." The Nurse fluffed up a pillow.
Kat was about to protest, but instead huffed in frustration and slammed her self into bed. She let out her breath and closed her eyes. After a few minutes, Kat surrendered herself to sleep.
Kat's eyes lazily glided open and she stretched openly, her wounds feeling a little better. She sat up carefully as she heard the pitter- patter of the annoying gossip nurse scuttling over.
"Come on, dear. Up up up! Your housemates are waiting for you in your Commons. We all want to know what happened. But of course, you can tell me first."
Kat rolled her eyes and swiftly left the Health Room.
As Kat walked down the halls to her common room, she noticed some familiar faces, some shocked faces, and some people didn't even look at her at all. Same old, Same old.
She whispered the password and the door slid open to reveal her blue and silver Common. Everyone was sitting inside of the common, Professor Flitwick included. Most people just smiled at her, or looked at her blankly. She wasn't very popular among the Ravenclaws or the Slytherins besides Cho Chang. Mostly because she was friends with people in other houses, or maybe they just didn't like her. She didn't care.
"Well, Ms. Darrigan, We were informed of your return a few minutes ago, and I have gathered the students for a short Welcome Back. We are all eager to see hear what happened." She said in a monotone voice.
Kat shuffled her feet nerviously, "Well-I-I was um.kidnapped? Yes, kidnapped by...."
"Vampires?"
"No, it was Werewolves, I heard!"
"Nu-uh, Centaurs!"
"Spit it out Darrigan!!!"
Over the outburst of voices, Kat shouted, "Yes! Vampires! I was kidnapped by Vampires." Kat smiled at her lie quickly, before replacing her face with fake despair once again. It was followed by another outburst.
"Vampires?"
"Oh my goodness!!!! It must have been awful!!"
"Eww...Don't Vampires Suck Blood?"
"Obviously!"
"What if the Vampires come to get us???"
"We'll be inside, dummy!"
"Students! You will return to your classes immediately. I'm sure Ms. Darrigan has had enough excitement for one day, but I expect her to be in class today??" Flitwick questioned, looking at Kat.
Kat nodded her head carefully. Flitwick clapped his hands and the students rushed off in a huddle of whispering and laughing.
As Kat a few feet ahead of the gossiping group, small, bony fingers gripped her bruised shoulders tightly and spun her around. Kat huffed and looked at the pug-faced Pansy Parkinson behind her.
"You didn't see Drakie? Have you?? He didn't get eaten by those Vampires did he? If he did.no he couldn't have...they would have the sense to eat you first!" Pansy rambled on.
"Wait, how did you know about the Vampires? I only told my house." Kat asked.
"Oh, well I was listening, but that's not the point, where is Drakie?"
Kat looked at Pansy grumpily.
"Shut the bloody hell up, Parkinson." And with that, she walked off to class.
Keep the style, and the kids checkin for it
But one question
How could you ignore it?
And drop right back in the cut
Over Basement tracks
Like rewind that
Were just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes
Stylist Division
With these non-stop
Lyrics are life-living
Not to be forgotten
But still unforgiven
But in the mean time
There are those
Who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose
That it comes to a point
Where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people
Spreading the dirt
Tried to give you warning
But everyone ignores me
Told you everything
Loud and clear
But nobodys listening
Called to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
Told you everything
Loud and Clear
But Nobody's Listening
