Chapter 7:
"I am going to go see if I can set things right with that Kat girl, no sense in making more enemies. Lord knows my brother has made me enough." Drea said to Sirius, slowly getting up from the wooden table.
"If you must. But tonight, meet me in the Astronomy Tower. 10:00 pm sharp." Sirius said, a devlish undertone reflected in the statement.
Drea smiled genuinely for the first time that Sirius could remember, as she answered, "Alright. But mind you, pulling anything you know you shouldn't, will land you right where Kat was. On your back with no where to go, and no voice to call for help."
"Sounds like my kind of fun! Sirius called to her as she left the great hall. He smiled to himself, You're mine now. He popped another sausage into his mouth, then headed over to Remus and James to tell them all about his now close to victorious endeavor.

"Dirty little bugger.." Drea laughed to herself as she headed up the stairs, on her way to the library, where Kat would undoubtedly be.
"Malfoy." a girls voice echoed through the empty 2nd floor corridor.
Drea spun around, wand already in hand, scanning for the owner of the voice. She spotted a tall girl with frizzy, long blonde hair, and glasses, glaring viciously at her.
" Bristow. Brilliant. I was just looking for you, I'm sorry if that rather ticked you off in there. I was just watching out for Remus, you know." Drea said, lowering her wand.
"Keep your apologies, Malfoy. You're just like your brother. Vermin. Pureblood scum." Kat whispered in a rather nasty tone.
"Honestly, I never thought you to stoop so low as to use petty name calling." Drea replied, her wand now raised and ready.
"The only thing petty here is you. You don't belong with Sirius, you filthy wench. Go shag Snape, he's your kind."
"You are treading on dangerous ground, Bristow. I suggest you hold your tongue. No wonder Sirius has never taken a second look at you, too cynical, too weak, and too incompetent for his taste, I bet." Drea said scathingly, readying herself for the inevitable duel that was to come.
Kats eyes flamed with anger, her lower lip quivering with hate. Her knuckles were white from the strong grip she held on her wand. The halls were dimly lit and the torches flickered frequently, there was no one to be seen, they in fact were all alone.
"Furnunculus!" Kat yelled pointing her wand directly at Drea's legs.
No sooner than the spell had hit her, giant and extremely painful boils broke out all over Drea's shins and knees. She yelped in pain, but regained her wits and searched her mind quickly for an appropriate spell.
"Locomotor Mortis!" Drea called out in an attempt at a counter attack.
She watched as the hex hit Kat directly in the legs, locking them together. Kat growled, struggling to keep herself from tipping over. She muttered something drea could not hear, but watched as the girl's wand ignited and send gold jets of light towards her.
"Protego!" Drea yelled in defense. The curse was deflected, barely missing Kat herself.
"Incendio!" Kat shrieked, losing her balance and falling to the ground face first. She drug herself out of the way as Drea dove at the floor and began rolling around, trying to distinguish the fire that had been ignited on her skirt.
"Bloody hell!" Drea exclaimed, examining the large hole now apparent in the front of her skirt.
Kat watched as Drea lifted herself off the ground, her eyes now frighteningly dark.
She pointed her wand directly at Kat and said in a rather menacing tone, "Expelliarmus!"
Kat felt her wand ripped from her hand and realized her heart rate was increasing drastically as Drea caught the weapon in mid air.
A cold laugh echoed through the halls, sounding sinister and chiding. "Do you really think that Sirius Black has even the slightest intention of keeping you around for more than a week?" Drea glared fiercely at the defeated blonde went on. "Don't you know that you are just another great trophy he can add to his very well assorted collection. He doesn't love you, he never will love you. After all, you are a Malfoy. And a disgraceful one at that."
"Stupefy!" drea shouted loudly, with all the might and strength she could. She watched as Kat's body lifted into the air, glowing red.
Kat screamed as she felt her form rush through the air, then her voice was silenced by the deafening crash that resulted in hitting the stone wall behind her.
Drea stood, almost entranced for a moment, watching the unconscious body of her opponent crumple to the floor in a heap. A great feeling of dread overcame Drea, her face drained of all its color.
What if she's right?... Drea thought suddenly. Her spirits sank considerably as she thought of what she might have gotten herself into.
"No.. I wont be another trophy." She said, as she walked quickly away from the site of the duel, and on to the common room. At 10:00 tonight she would test Sirius Black's intentions once and for all.
"I am going to go see if I can set things right with that Kat girl, no sense in making more enemies. Lord knows my brother has made me enough." Drea said to Sirius, slowly getting up from the wooden table.
