Chapter 9. Cathryn
Previously
"I like you more than she." She said confidently.
"Prove it." Sirius said.
Cassandra leaned in and planted a deep kiss on his lips. He pulled away and smiled, Cassandra looked triumphant.
"I bet Cathryn's better." He said, "That was terrible." He began to walk away.
"She may be, but her time's running out." Cassandra said with a smirk. Sirius glanced toward the castle and saw Cathryn lying passed out before the doors.
"You are a bitch." Sirius said grabbing her arm and running to Cathryn's side, pulling Cassandra right along with her. She was in a cold sweat and her body was overcome with tremors.
James, Peter, and Remus burst out of the castle under the invisibility cloak Sirius had forgotten.
"We saw you on the map, and checked out the window." James explained quickly, taking custody of Cassandra.
"Let me go, you brute!" She yelled.
"Shut up!" Sirius responded picking Cathryn up. He handed her to Remus, "Get her to the hospital wing as fast as bloody possible. We have to see the headmaster." Sirius said. Remus nodded and conjured a stretcher; he and Peter ran her to the Hospital wing.
Sirius and James walked Cassandra to the headmaster's office. There he conjured up three, identical armchairs for them to sit in.
"Gumdrop?" He offered sweetly holding the jar out to them.
"Yeah! Thanks…" James began.
"Prongs!" Sirius scolded. James dropped his enthusiasm.
"Headmaster, this girl, Cassandra, has been doing some pretty nasty things. Why don't you explain Cassandra, while Cathryn's life hangs between life and death." Sirius said rashly.
"Yes, why don't you, Cassandra." Dumbledor said with a smile. Sirius could see the worry in the headmaster's eyes grow and grow as both Cassandra and Sirius told the true story.
"I spent months planning for this, observing. I would get her out of the balance, and take Sirius. Its how she found out your friend is a rat." Cassandra spat, "All wasted energy."
"I wouldn't date you, if you paid me!" Sirius said, "You're a liar, and not pleasant to be around. Your personality changes around certain people."
"Go to hell!" Cassandra yelled.
"No thank you, but that's exactly where I'll take you if Cathryn dies." Sirius shouted.
"Oh oh, temper, Sirius." Dumbledor advised. Sirius nodded, standing,
"I'm going to go see her." He declared.
"Sounds like a plan, let's all go." Dumbledor agreed.
"Wait." Sirius said turning to Cassandra, "You'll apologize!"
"I can't." She said turning away.
"You can." Sirius said.
"I won't!" Cassandra announced loudly in defiance.
"You will!" Sirius shouted in her face. Cassandra nodded, intimidated. They walked down to the hospital wing to check on Cathryn…
TBC.
AN: Yes I know, a very short one. But I only anticipate it being a few chapters more, probably no more than three. Feedback is generally appreciated. (3 reviews and 84 hits does not bode well, friends…reviews are what make the story continue…)
