Disclaimer- JK Rowling has all rights to Harry Potter. I only own the character of Kate, and the plot of this story.
The next morning Kate awoke feeling as if butterflies were fluttering around in her stomach. Today she was going on a date with Seamus! She hoped that Hogsmeade was as nice as everybody claimed that it was.
Last night, in their dormitories, the girls were discussing the remarkable Hogsmeade. Parvati and Lavender were only interested in telling how many boys they had snogged there, but Hermione's tales were funny.
Hermione told about the time when Draco Malfoy was in the middle of teasing Ron, when Harry, who was hidden, started to throw mud at him. Not knowing where the mysterious mud had come from, Draco fled the village, looking as if he were about to wet himself. This story made Kate laugh quite a bit.
Kate thought of this as she dressed herself for her date. Since she was not the girly type, Kate decided to ditch the idea of wearing a skirt, and instead opted for her black corduroy pants. To go along, Kate wore a royal blue shirt with a sweetheart neckline, and her regular Vans skater shoes, since she did not know what they would be doing in Hogsmeade.
After applying her usual smoky eye look, Kate went downstairs to the Great Hall for breakfast. She enjoyed a quick meal of French toast and bacon, Kate went to the large doorway of the Great Hall to wait for Seamus, and was pleased to find that he was already there.
"Hey Kate," Seamus greeted her, wearing another, yet different Sex Pistols shirt, "You ready to go on your first trip to Hogsmeade?"
"Well, I've been hearing an awful lot about this Hogsmeade of yours. You should know that I am really looking forward to this, so you have a lot to live up to," Kate said, in her best imitation of an old fashioned southern belle as they started walking towards the train that would take them into Hogsmeade.
"Don't worry, I have got the day all planned out. I'm thinking that a tour of the village would be nice," Seamus replied as he held the door open for Kate as they boarded the Hogwarts Express, which would shortly be on its way to the all magic village of Hogsmeade.
While Kate and Seamus were walking down to the train, holding hands, Draco Malfoy was sitting in his usual compartment with Blaise Zabini, staring at the couple.
"So you still like the new girl, huh?" Blaise asked, noticing Draco's look of sadness as Kate and Seamus walked by, finding a compartment with Pothead, Weasel- Bee, and the mudblood.
"School's been in session for nearly a month, so technically she's not that new anymore. Anyway, she has a name," Draco muttered, still in a bad mood.
"Fine, so you still like KATE, huh? It sucks that she is with Finnegan. She is actually sort of hot. I wouldn't mind going out with her," Blaise said, carefully watching Draco's reaction.
"Don't be an idiot, Blaise. You don't stand a chance with her! I mean, as if she would ever go out with someone like you," Draco said sharply.
"Oh really? Yet you think that she'll go out with you?" Blaise snorted.
"Shut up," Draco said quietly, a look of hurt on his face that Blaise had never seen before.
"Whoa... sorry, mate. I have never seen you like a girl so much. But I have to ask, why her? I mean, you could have any other girl in the whole school. So, why her?" Blaise asked.
Draco drew a deep breath and said, "Kate is... different. She's not like other girls. Other girls do nothing but flirt with me, and act all sickly sweet, but not Kate. You should have heard her yell at me when I insulted her friends."
Blaise raised an eyebrow skeptically and replied, "So you think that her yelling at you is a turn on?"
"No, its just that it can be a bit annoying when the other girls won't do anything except agree with me, even if they hate it. I swear, there were a few moments when it seemed as if she liked me, but I guess that since she is with Seamus, I just imagined it. Anyway, her yelling at me is better than Pansy Pugface simpering," Draco explained.
Then, as if some cosmic force arranged it, the compartment door opened and none other than Pansy Parkinson, who indeed did resemble a pug, walked in. She was wearing the shortest mini skirt imaginable, and a scoop neck tank top that did not leave much left to the imagination.
"Speak of the slut," Blaise muttered so that only Draco could hear him.
"Drakie! I thought that I might find you here! You left without me, and I was afraid for a minute that w couldn't go to Hogsmeade together. Did you miss me?" Pansy asked in a way that she thought was seductive, but obviously was not. She seemed to have completely forgotten the whole incident in potions when Draco yelled at her.
"Umm... oops! I forgot that I have to spend my day studying. That new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher doesn't cut me much slack. So, we have to go now, bye!" Draco said quickly, and ran out as fast as he could.
As they started to walk the main street of Hogsmeade, Draco muttered to Blaise, "Why did I ever take her to that stupid ball?"
"Maybe because your parents forced you to," Blaise reminded him.
"Yes, well remind me never to make that mistake again," Draco said as they walked into Zonko's Joke shop.
"So what do you think of Hogsmeade?" Seamus asked Kate.
The two of them had just finished touring the quaint little village. Honeyduke's was amazing, and Zonko's was full of strange, but funny, pranks. The Shrieking Shack was spooky enough, and the whole village was adorable, she thought.
"I love it. It is most certainly the cutest little town that I have ever seen," Kate replied cheerfully.
"It's a town, not a puppy!" Seamus laughed.
"Yes, well, it still is cute ," Kate declared as she shivered slightly in the autumn breeze.
"Here," Seamus said as he wrapped his leather trench coat around her.
"Thanks. I also enjoyed being with you," Kate whispered.
Seamus grinned and replied, "I liked being with you too. Maybe we can do this again sometime."
"That sounds great!" Kate said happily as she threw her arms around Seamus in a deep embrace.
"Good. Now that that's settled, let's go for a drink of butterbeer in the Three broom Sticks!" Seamus said as Hogwarts newest couple started down the picturesque lane.
AUTHORS NOTE: HA! Seamus and Kate's first date! I know its DM/HG, but perhaps you'll see that in the future. Right now Draco's jealous! I love drama!
