Neville´s POV

What the hell did I just do? Did she...cry? I sat on my desk and buried my head in my arms. I started to gasp. So she had met my parents. Just the last person I wanted to.

What happened, happened and there ´s nothing I can do to change it.

I got out of my room. I needed some air.

"Oh hello Neville."- Luna greeted me with that dreamy voice of hers.

"Hey, Luna"- I said a little altered.

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, well actually yes. I…."

"Professor Longbottom! Professor Lovegood! How are you two?"- Professor Slughorn shouted form across the hall. I always found him extremely friendly. Especially for a Slytherin. I saw this radical change between him and Snape when it came to treating students.

"Oh hello, we´re fine thank you."- Luna answered kindly.

"You know, something just bothered me."

He was never afraid to make conversation.

"What is it?"- asked Luna.

"You two know Ms Green right? 7th year? My house?"

I just nodded a little scared. Had she told him?

"I happened to bump into her a few moments ago and she had her eyes all red and full of tears. She didn´t tell me what happened to her. And I am worried, she seemed quite upset."

Luna seemed worried as well. She turned to me and asked: "what could´ve happened to her?"

I couldn´t answer. I know, I´m a coward. But, what was I supposed to tell them? She told me she met my parents and I got really mad and shouted obscene things at her?

"I d-d-don´t k-know?"- I managed to answer. She didn´t buy it. She knew I didn´t stammer so much anymore.

"Well, Professor Slughorn if we find anything we´ll let you know."- said Luna.

"I would really appreciate that. Thank you."

And with that he left leaving us two alone. Luna became my best friend at DA. She believed in me and always encouraged me to do better. I knew I could tell her anything.

"So, what is it with Katharine?"

"I don´t know what you are talking about."

"Neville, something tells me you know why she was so upset."- damn Ravenclaws and their intelligence.

"I might have said some things to her."

"What things?"

"that my life was none of her business."

"Why would you say that to her?"

"She decided to go to St Mungo´s for her social service and met my parents. You´re smart Luna, tell me why out of all people it had to be her!"

"Oh, Neville that was it? I mean I would be glad to have someone from Hogwarts going to see them every week. She could give you reports on how they are doing. "

Damn she was so right.

"But I can´t trust her! She an annoying Slytherin brat!"

"I think you shouldn´t judge people because of their house. Did you tell her anything else? Because honestly I don´t believe she would have gotten that bad if you had just told her to stay away from your life."

"I miiight have called her a whore."

"Then I don´t blame her for crying. That was rather mean of you."

"Rather mean? She is evil. Or haven´t you heard about that time when she made out with two guys at the same time at the common room when Slytherin won that Quidditch match?"

"Did you see it?"

"No. "

"Then, how do you know it´s true?"

"Everyone knows it. She´s a whore!"

Kate POV

I had been hidden just around the corner trying my best not to be heard. I was crying like a crazy. He believed the stories. He called me an annoying brat and a whore again. I couldn´t take it. How could he? I never meant to annoy him like that; in fact, I think I fell in love. I´d rather take the Cruciatus curse than having to bear the pain that Neville Longbottom hates me.

I ran to my dorm to avoid getting caught by Filch. I threw myself over my bed and sobbed loudly on my pillow. Rachel and Georgiana ran to both of my sides asking hysterically what had happened. I managed to tell them between sobs how I had spoken to him in his office, his reaction, and the conversation between him and Luna.

"That bastard!"-shouted Rachel.

"How dare he call you like that? And twice!"

"I doesn´t even matter!"- I cried punching my pillow. "He´s impossible."

"I have an idea."- said Georgiana with a smirk.

"What?"

"You cannot expect him to offend you like that and get away with it."- she continued.-"you´re a Slytherin for Merlin´s sake! Get revenge! Don´t be fool!"

"How do I do that?"

"Come with us this weekend to Hogsmade, on Saturday since on Sunday we have social service. I have the perfect plan."

That Saturday I was dying of curiosity. What the hell was their plan? They covered my eyes in the middle of a street and dragged me into a store. When they uncovered them, an immense space full of feminine lingerie was standing before me.

"I don´t get it."

"Kate,"- informed Rachel.-"Today you are becoming a slut."

"Oh no, no, no, no, no, and no. There is no way in hell. "

"Yes! You have to teach the teacher not to mess up with you! I know you love him but keep some pride!"

They were definitely right. I got into the fitting room and went out every time with a different outfit. They gave me either thumbs up, or thumbs down, or moved their right hands from one side to the other. Finally I came out wearing the outfit I liked the most and that I thought fit me the best. It flattered me to find them with their mouths hanging open.

"Honey, if he can resist that…HE´S GAY!"- exclaimed Georgiana and they both started laughing like idiots.

After paying we went to meet the boys at the Leaky Cauldron to have some drinks and a chat.
