"You really did it this time James" Sirius said as they walked to Dinner after all their classes ended, they hadnt seen Katy all day and she had every class with them. "I dont care.." James snapped, Remus sighed pinching the bridge of his nose as the three of them sat down at the table. Sirius gaped when the doors opened to the great hall, and in walked Katy only now her hair was shoulder length instead of long, and very plainly cut, she had also put brown highlights in it, even though it was naturally dirty blonde. She wore a light brown eye shadow and lip gloss, wearing a plain brown tee-shirt that happened to fit her well and showed her developing chest and some cleavage in the v-neck, she wore a brown, black and white plaid skirt, white knee high socks, and brown clogged shoes. Sirius gaped at her, James groaned burying his face in his hands. Remus perked a brow as Katy walked over handing Remus a book, "I forgot to give this back.. I borrowed it earlier" she said. Remus nodded, seeing it was his Hamlet book. "Thanks" he said looking to Katy, as she walked off, to sit across from Lily and Alice who were admiring her new look. Thomas Finnigan, walked over sitting down beside her and began flirting with her. It wasnt hard to tell Katy wasnt interested, depending when Thomas ran a hand up and down her arm, she clenched her fists atop the table. Sure enough, five minutes later Thomas rushed out holding his nose. Katy walked down the table past them and dropped five dollars infront of Frank Longbottom, who cracked up laughing and leaned across the table hugging her. She sat down rolling her eyes. James perked a brow, "She's going out with Longbottom?" he asked Sirius who shrugged. The next day, Katy came to breakfast wearing a plain black tee-shirt and her same baggy worn in jeans, with her converses. Her hair pulled back in a top half. She sat down beside Frank Longbottom who was talking to her, as he took her hand atop the table. James clenched his fists, everyone knew he was very protective of Katy and he knew Frank's reputation. James stood up, Sirius trying to pull him back down but it didnt work as James walked down the table to Frank and Katy. Katy glanced up at him confused, "Uh Katy.. can I talk to you?" James asked running a hand through his hair nervously. "Sure James.. Frank tell Alice and Lily I'll see them in first period" Katy said standing up and following James out. "Do you go out with Longbottom?" he asked pointedly once they were in the hallway, "Even if I did.. why do you care?" Katy snapped. "Because your one of my best friends and I dont want to see you hurt" James said simply. "Haha.. I WAS.. was.. past tense.. one your best friends, and James nobody could hurt me the way you did" Katy said matter-of-factly and turned to walk off when James grabbed her arm. "James.. release me" Katy said sharply, "Katy please listen to me.. I'm serious" James said. "Sirius?" Katy asked confused. "No.. ugh.. No I.. I'm sorry alright?" James stuttered, "I'm sorry I said that.. I was angry I didnt mean it.. and I dont like Lily.. alright? well I do.. but I like someone else more.. as a sister.." James specified, Katy laughed shaking her head "Gosh you were always bad with apologies" she said smiling. James shrugged smiling "Hey.. Atleast I try, Sirius wouldnt have at all" he said running a hand through his hair. "I wouldnt what?" Sirius asked walking out. "Apologize.." Katy said smirking. Remus sighed of relief, "Does this mean we're all cool again?" he asked. "You know it.." Katy said simply, "Oh yea.. and I found this awesome idea in a book" she said to James and Sirius who walked on either side of her up the stairs to their first class, Transfiguration. "Yup.. some things never change" Remus said to himself and followed them.
