A/N: DARN IT ALL! Romance warning! Mushy-Gushy! The thought things have been changed to ( * ) instead of the former! It's much easier this way!
Chapter Nineteen: Don't Make Me Glomp You!
(Okay...I can do this! I can sit here and not pay attention to him! I can survive Potions today...I will not tip you...I will not tip you!) Kit thought wildly, sitting down beside Draco as they were paired up. Harry had Nina Snape, Hermione and Blaise Zabini, and Ron was with Pansy Parkinson. Draco smiled as Kit pulled out her wand, scooting her chair a good two inches away from his, even though they were already four inches apart.
(This is going to be interesting) Kit heard Draco think as he watched Snape putting the instructions on the board. He turned to Kit.
"Haven't forgotten our arrangement, have you?" He asked, grabbing the pomegranate juice and adding three drops to their potion. They were making a Projector Draught, which was supposed to project your worst memory to four people of it's choice.
"How could I?" Kit hissed, dropping her salamnder tail into the mixture, "I really don't have much of a choice, do I?"
"No, you really don't..." Draco sighed fakely, "Well, I guess we have to let it simmer for--"
"Ten minutes," Kit finished and tapped her watch with her wand, "I'll tell when time is ready..."
(She doesn't know what I was thinking about when I summoned my Patronus... she'd probably faint from shock...) Draco thought as he stared at her, his pale lips curling into a smirk. (It's too...mushy-gushy and sappy for me to ever think that...)
Kit's eyes widened as he started to visualize her, her face illuminated by the sunlight, her curly hair shining as she smiled at him. She watched as herself said something, but she couldn't read it...maybe he was blocking that unconciously. Then she gasped as he smiled back, blushing.
"Whoa," Kit breathed, looking at him with a look of pure astonishment.
"What?" He asked, looking around then turning back to her, "What's wrong?"
"What happened to you?! I didn't think you'd be capable of doing that to me...that night I mean. You were so...rough and demanding!"
Draco looked at her with complete relief, "I thought you'd never ask..."
"What do you mean?!" Kit asked, whispering.
"I was angry...Pansy was trying to get me to go out with her instead of tutoring, so I just lost it...I'm desperately sorry. I didn't mean to do that to you...I just got this weird feeling, then I thought you were...Pansy herself."
Kit looked at him with disbelief, "You're joshing with me! You can't be serious!"
"I am! I'll prove it to you! When we test the potion, I'll try to get that memory from my point of view and you'll see! I'll show you what happened before I came to teach you!" Draco said wildly.
"Time to stir!" Kit said, recieving a slight jolt from her wrist, "Four clock-wise, then go through the middle and stir twice counter-clockwise."
*§~~§*&~*§*~&*§~~§**§~~§*&~*§*~&*§~~§**§~~§*&~*§*~&*§~~§*
Kit never did find out what his memories would've held, because the bell had rang and they had corked their flask and turned it in. Professor Snape told them that they were not to test it, but he would grade them accordingly. After Potions, Kit had her Divination class, and boy was she going to have a time.
As they entered the classroom, Kit breathed in the sickeningly-sweet perfume involuntarily, coughig as she was overcome by it. Kit was a Seer, not particularily a good one, but still more so than Trelawney. She had her first Divination a few weeks ago, but still hated it as much as her cousin! She hated it for other reasons though...
"Today we will be continuing our work on the Orb! I have foreseen that one of you will have a shocking vision, one that will terrify your very heart and soul..." Trelawney said in a suspenseful whispers, causing Parvati to clap her hands to her mouth and Lavender to gasp. "Well, we will use the class Orb, so that we may all see what this vision will be!"
After a few moments, Trelwaney came out, rolling a large shrouded table with purple drapings and a shawled glowing Orb in the middle. She placed it on the center table of the room, beckoning the class with long fingers. Parvati and Lavender, who had made up after the first Patrona-Drama meeting, rushed to her side, looking at the Orb anxiously, the rest of the class filing around it nonchalantly.
"Now, class...I wish for you all to gaze into the Orb and look within it's very depths to see what awaits you!" Trelawney said dramatically, waving her hands over the giant crystal ball. Kit let out a yawn, tapping the Orb with her finger.
"Ooooooooh!" Lavender and Parvati trilled, "Professor! I see something! We see a person!"
Sure enough, the class gathered closer as a draped and shawled figure rose from the mist of the ball, looking up at her surroundings with wide proturbent eyes, magnified by large round glasses. Professor Trelawney was the figure in the orb, but she wasn't alone...
"Professor SNAPE?!" Ron and Seamus chorused, looking at the Orb with their noses pressed to the glass.
Snape turned towards Trelawney, and they ran to each other...then---
"UGH! MY EYES!"
"That's SICK! SIIIICK!"
Kit was working hard not to burst into giggles as she watched the two teachers, wrapped in each other's arms. Both Ron and Seamus had fallen backwards, slipping on the carpet and landing on their backsides. Lavender was covering her face, peering through two split fingers. Parvati was looking from the orb, to Trelawney, the orb, to Trelawney...
"I-I....augh!" Trelawney put her hand to her forehead, then fell to the floor dramatically. Lavender had already screamed, "She's FAINTED! She's FAAAAINTED!"
Ron and Harry were looking at Kit, who had finally burst into gales of laughter. They looked to the orb, then joined her, both clutching their stomachs from the belly laughs they were issuing so heartily.
*§~~§*&~*§*~&*§~~§**§~~§*&~*§*~&*§~~§**§~~§*&~*§*~&*§~~§*
"That was GENIUS!" Ron exclaimed, laying his head against the couch as he let out a quiet laugh. He, Harry, and Kit were in the commonroom, accounting the story to Hermione and Ginny.
"What if you get caught!" She trilled, looking at Kit sternly, "Trelawney and the whole staff know that you're a Bewitcher! They could find out!"
"Well, if you think that I'm the only one capable of doing something so obvious, then maybe Trealwney will too!" Kit huffed, glaring at her, "Look, I'm not going to get caught. Anyone in that classroom could've done it, and besides, knowing that fraud...she probably thinks that was a real prediction."
Hermione stood up, glaring at the other four as they laughed, "I'm going to bed! You can brag about this all night! Egg her on for all I care!"
Hermione stormed to the girl's stairs, followed by Ginny who looked all but joyful to join her. Harry turned to the other two, "Look, I need to go and write to Snuffles, I'll see you at breakfast, shall I?"
Kit gave him a hug goodnight and looked at Ron, expecting him to follow, but to her surprise, he looked back at her, grinning sheepishly, "Er---can I ask you s-something?"
"Yes?" Kit asked as he sat down on the hearth rug beside her, the fire dying out behind them.
"Remember when you busted my lip?" His ears were turning red, but he was heartened as she nodded, blushing herself, "Well, do you think that...well, do you, do you like me?"
Kit blushed deeper, looking down at the rug and examining it's intricate designs. After a moment, she nodded, looking up at him as he smiled out of relief.
"D'you...well..." Ron coughed, "Will you gaoutwiffme?"
His face turned crimson, this time he looked down at the rug, Kit smiled at him, "What do you think?! Yes! I'd be crazy not to!"
He smiled at her, Kit grinning right back.
