Chapter Three: Slytherin VS Gryffindor, still!

~~~

Kally rolled out of bed the next morning, tired as hell. Lydia, Issy, Kristen-Lee and Faith had made her stay up until she spilled the goss on what had happened before they had walked in last night.

Kally had kept telling them nothing, but naturally, they knew better.

Kally brushed her hair, changed into her robes and grabbed her book bag, which she'd packed the night before, with her school materials.

She slumped out of the dormitory, down the stairs and into the common room. Jared was sitting in an armchair, looking out the window.

Kally walked over to him. "Let's go," She mumbled, pushing her curls out of her face.

Jared stood and smiled. "Morning sunshine."

"Shuddup," came Kally's reply. "You are in big trouble."

Jared pretended to look innocent, but Kally could see through him. "What did I do?"

Kally glared at him and punched him in the arm. "I am going to get you back, you do know that, right?"

Jared laughed loudly. "Yeah, right."

Kally scowled at him again and walked out of the common room and nearly knocked Liam over.

"Morning," He said, smiling cheerfully.

Kally made a grunting noise and walked passed him.

Liam caught up to her laughing. "What did Jared do now?"

Kally mumbled something under her breath that sounded like 'none of your business.'

Liam grabbed her arm to stop her. She turned to him and raised an eyebrow.

Liam was smiling down at her. "You look beautiful in the mornings," He told her, brushing a hand over her cheek.

"Glad you think so, I sure don't feel like it."

Liam laughed again and took her hand in his. "Come on Princess, I'll take you to breakfast."

Kally didn't really have a choice as Liam began to steer her towards their destination.

~~~

By the next day everyone knew about Liam and Kally, alothough they weren't an offical couple yet. Kally and Jared were sitting at the Ravenclaw table for breakfast when Liam walked in and sat next to Kally, putting a hand around her waist.

"Hey," Kally said, kissing him softly on the lips, when Liam didn't respond she looked up into his face. It was not the look she expected to see on his usually happy face. "What's wrong?"

Liam sighed and handed a letter to her.

She opened it and began to read:

Liam,

It has come to the attention of your mother and I that you happen to be seeing a Wood. Son, are you not aware that you are Malfoy. Malfoy's do not date Gryffindor offspring, even if that Gryffindor offspring is sorted into Ravenclaw.

You will end this relationship immediately before I have to take it into my own hands. I will not have my son dating the daughter of Oliver Wood.

Do you not know where your loyalties lie?

I am coming for a Council Meeting at Hogwarts this afternoon, I shall be seeing you then, do not let your mother and I down again,

Your father,

Draco Malfoy.

Kally's eyes widened as she read. "L-Liam...?" She stuttered turned to the boy who had his arms around her waist. "He can't be serious?"

She looked into his eyes and knew that Draco was. He didn't want them to date, and Draco Malfoy always got what he wanted, one way or another.

That's how he became a millionaire.

"I won't let him do it," Liam told her, pulling her closer to him.

"Liam, he's your father... What if my parents know?" Kally asked, hoping hse hadn't jinxed herself.

As if hearing her words an owl landed in front of her, a letter tied to it's leg. "Oh Merlin," She muttered, blinking at the owl. "It can't be...."

Jared sensed that she wasn't about to open the letter and took it from the owl. He opened the envelope and passed it to Kally. She took it in shaking hands. She unfolded it and began to read, Liam was reading over her shoulder.

To our dearest Kalicia,

What in Merlin's name are you think? A Malfoy, you know their type. Even if the boy isn't a Slytherin, he's Slytherin blood.

Do you know what this is doing to your mother? She is thinking of forfeiting her next Quidditch Match, she doesn't know id she can play in her present spirits.

I have heard you've even kissed this boy. You should watch yourself young lady, imagine the headlines. This will go beyond just what you think you want, this is just a crush, we've discussed this with you before.

You're too young to be doing things like that with a boy, I have to go, your mother has started crying again.

Your loving Parents,

Oliver and Katie.

Ps: We love you, and be good.

Kally dropped the note on the table as if it were poisoned. "They thing they know me so well," She shot at the letter more than Jared and Liam.

She leant into Liam's chest. "This is awful, neither of them want us to be together."

Liam nodded. "But that's not going to stop us, right?"

Kally noticed the note in his voice was hopeful more than demanding.

"Of course it's not," Kally said, turning her body so she could face him. "I love you, they can't stop that."

Liam smiled. "I love you too."

They were about to kiss when Jared snorted. "Guys, look, I'm eating breakfast, please, stop. You've been doing it everyday."

Kally glared at him and punched him in the shoulder. "Shut up, Jared!"

~~~

Kally, Liam, Issy, Lyd, Jared, Faith, Kristen-lee and the rest of fifth- year had a Study period right before lunch, which was when the Council Meeting was scheduled, Liam had found out, when he was checking for his next Prefect round.

Most of the fifth-years spent their study periods in the library, as McGonagall instructed them to, Liam and Kally were always among them.

Kally was slowly scribbling on her 4-foot-long Astronomy essay as Liam softly kissed her neck. Every now and then Liam would lick the spot where he'd just kissed, and Kally would elbow him in the stomach.

Madam Killen, the 25 year old librarian, passed them on Kally's tenth-elbow and giggled, but quickly covered it as the students looked at her.

Kally smiled at her, she liked Madam Killen, she was always so sweet to her.

Liam ran his hand over the top of her thigh, Kally turned to him. Liam grinned toothily.

"You are a bad boy," kally told him, kissing him softly on the lips. Liam made to kiss her again, but Kally pulled away. Liam mock-pouted, making a puppy-face at her.

Kally giggled and put her hand over his face, Liam took it in his own and kissed it. Kally tried to think of something to distact him from her.

"Shouldn't you be doing your work?" She asked him, as she gently pried her hand free.

Liam nodded, "But how can I concentrate with something so beautiful sitting next to me?"

Kally blushed, but answered coolly, "Would you like me to move then?"

Liam pretended to be shocked and pulled her closer to him.

"Liam!" Kally exclaimed, freeing herself, only to be re-captured.

"Guys, we're trying to work here," Lydia told them, but she was smiling as she did so.

Kally poked her tongue at her. Lydia poked hers back.

"Beef," Kally said, joking in their usual routine.

"Pork," Lydia replied.

"Chicken," came the call of Issy from the three tables away.

The three girls giggled loudly before a man with bleach-blonde hair strided into the library. Kally and Liam turned to see who it was and froze.

It was Liam's father.
