The rest of the day proved to be boring. It was the normal first day of the year for all her classes except potions of course. It was 4:30 and last classes let out, for Katie it was Ancient Runes. She headed up to her room to put her stuff away before dinner and as she was walking, she heard someone call her name and she turned around and saw Jeremiah running through the crowd to catch up with her.
"Hey…sorry…let me catch my breath" Jeremiah said as he bent over and took in a deep breath.
"It's okay, what were you running for I would have waited for you" Katie said as the continued to walk up to their rooms.
"I was just running…no reason really…" he said, Katie could tell he was somewhat embarrassed so she dropped the subject then she heard
"Hey! Bell" someone said in a nasty tone, Katie turned around quickly, and she saw Montague walking with a group of Slytherin boys.
"Oh great…" Katie muttered under her breath and she gripped her wand in her pocket and she saw Jeremiah give her a puzzled look but she just turned to Montague and his little group of people around him, there was about six of them and of course, Malfoy was there.
"Yes?" Katie said in an annoyed tone facing them her arms crossed in front of her chest.
"I just wanted to come and see if you were ready for a good time," he said and the rest of the boys smirked.
Katie laughed aloud and said "Montague, you really think I would go to you for a good time? First of all, you are disgusting, your hair looks as if you have not showered in a week, your teeth are yellow and crooked, and your acne is disgusting. Second, you wouldn't know how to give a good time, from what I have heard you kiss like a slug. And third, I have someone else"
This didn't make him very happy. He was pissed and Katie could tell, and his little friends were pissed as well.
"Now if you are done, why don't you and your little 'buddies' go try someone else" Katie said and did the arm thing to shoo them off then Montague stepped forward and Katie's wand was out at her side now.
"Listen here Miss Kathryn, you have no idea what you are talking about, and you don't know what you are missing out on. And if you continue to run your mouth our little secret may just 'slip' out" He said with a grin and Katie glared at him.
"Well, I do know what I am talking about, now if you don't mind me and Jeremiah are leaving" and Katie looked him in the eye and mouthed 'go with it' and she grabbed his hand and they walked off and Katie turned her head over her shoulder and waved goodbye Montague.
They turned the corner and Katie let go of his hand.
"I'm really sorry about grabbing your hand and stuff, I just wanted him off my back" Katie said apologetically
"Oh…uh…don't worry about it, it's fine…I didn't mind" he said and he was turning slightly red again.
They walked in silence up to the common room and to the picture that blocked off to get to the head girl and boy room and once they were in the hallway and the picture dropped.
"Hey we have a little until dinner, do you want to hang out?" Katie asked to make the awkwardness go away.
"Sure that sounds great," he reasoned and they climbed the stairs and Katie opened her door and stepped in.
"You can just put your books on that chair over there, and have a seat where ever," Katie said and she stepped ahead of him and she watched him put his books on one of the chairs.
"I can't believe Snape has already assigned us an essay on first day" Jeremiah said, as he flopped on the couch.
"Yeah, I know, he is so tough sometimes, but as much as I don't like him, he is a good teacher" Katie said as she walked over to her desk and put her books down next to it.
"Yeah, he is…so I heard that you were made captain this year for Quidditch" Jeremiah said and he raised his eyebrows at her.
"Yeah actually, I was really surprised, I didn't think they would make me captain I was sure it would be Harry" she said as she walked over to the couch.
"Well you are really good, I mean he is too, but the seekers job is just to chase the snitch they really aren't part of the plays. I think it's a better idea to make a person who is more in the plays to be captain and make the calls," he said as he looked at the small fire in the fireplace.
"Oh, thanks, I guess that's true, McGonagall knows what she is doing when it comes to Quidditch, and I know she couldn't stand to see that trophy in someone else's office" she said with a laugh.
"Yeah that's true" then he got quiet then said, "Er…if you don't mind me asking…what's up with Montague?"
"Oh him, well we had a little run-in over the summer and he tried to have a little fun with me, but I got him off and he has been trying to get me ever since, I would never date him or do anything with him he is so gross!" Katie said and made a face and both of them laughed.
"Yeah, I would say so, but listen if he continues to give you problems and you want some help just let me know, I'll back you up" he said.
"Oh thanks, I will let you know, your help may be needed actually" Katie said then she saw the clock "Oh wow its that late already? It's time for dinner, do you want to throw your stuff in your room before we go?"
"Sure" he said and grabbed his stuff, he dropped it off in his room, and they walked down to the great hall and took their seats across from Harry, Hermione, and Ron.
"So how was your first day back?" Katie asked them as she got her food.
"Eh it wasn't that bad, just the normal stuff, pretty boring if you ask me," Harry said and Ron nodded his head in agreement. Then Hermione added in "My day was full of stuff I already have homework"
"Same with Jeremiah and me, Snape assigned an essay due Wednesday about malted worms tongue"
"Sounds…er…interesting" Ron said and they all laughed.
Dinner went by fast and they all headed out.
"Well I am going to get that essay done and out of the way," Katie said to Jeremiah as they got up to their room doors.
"Yeah same here, I'll see you at eight" Jeremiah said and they both walked into their rooms and Katie went over to her desk and pulled out her ink and a roll of parchment and her potions text book and began to write.
