Dis: No..I do not own Harry Potter...unfortunately, I am not that a good writer yet..sigh
What happened last time?
Silence filled the table again, each professor analyzing their different thoughts, and each assassin thinking about multiple things. No one was prepared to break the awkward silence on the table yet, especially not if the headmaster currently have a subtle frown on his face. The only sounds could be heard was the sound of silverware bumping against plates and bowls, and soon, Sara finished her dinner. Shooting a look at Harry and Kate, she walked out of the hall, intending to head out to the CoS.
Harry and Kate finished their dinner at a more steady pace, knowing that too many questions will be asked if they both follow after Sara in unison. Instead, Harry turned and chatted to Snape about some inane potion or other, whilst Kate began a conversation with Flitwick, finding that she actually enjoyed chatting with the hyper little professor. By some unspoken agreement, Harry finished his dinner and dismissed himself first, leaving Kate to stay behind and keep everything 'normal'. Kate barely spared Harry or Sara a glance as they walked out the door, although she didn't miss the fact that Minerva and Dumbledore's eyes followed Sara's and Harry's every move. It wasn't such a big surprise, as Sara is the leader of the trio, and Harry is the 'boy-who-lived', and she is just the unknown blonde assassin
"So Filius, how good are you at dueling?" she asked, ignoring Dumbledore and McGonagall, knowing that Minerva for now would still be Dumbledore's man, or in this case, woman.
Filius hasn't missed out on anything that happened, and knew perfectly well that Kate was only staying there because it'll be suspicious if both she and Harry rushed out together, just when Sara had recently returned. Instead, he just replied, "Oh, good enough, I was a master dueller in my days."
Kate wasn't surprised, she already knew this, but raised an eyebrow anyway. "That's cool, what are you favourite spells?" she asked.
"Oh, I personally love 'avis' and 'reducto'."
"Sweet, maybe we should duel together sometime?" she suggested, feeling an instant connection with the small professor.
Filius smiled and nodded his head in agreement; he was extremely tempted to throw a potato at the headmaster's head for he had still yet to tear his eyes away from the door where Sara, and then Harry had existed from.
Kate, talks done, give you an update when you come back, flirt with McGonagall, Snape or Flitwick. Kate hearing that in her mind from Sara nearly choked on her mouthful of carrot, but assassin training forbids the littlest bits of emotion and she managed to hold onto her impassive mask. Are they mad? She wondered, but followed Sara's order.
"So Minerva, what's wrong with calling you Min?" she asked, well aware that the temperature had dropped about two degrees and Filius and Severus discreetly keeping their hands on their wands.
Minerva glared at Kate, "Because it's inappropriate?" she suggested.
Kate smiled cheekily back, "But its so cute." She replied, cleaning her mouth with a napkin.
Minerva glared, "I assure you Ms Glade, I am hardly what one would call cute." She replied, stiffly, staring straight ahead, ignoring the quiet sniggering coming from Snape and Albus.
Kate stood up and walked behind Minerva's chair, she leaned down and whispered into her ear, mentally smiling when Minerva shivered, "Maybe not, but for someone your age, you still are pretty." She smiled, allowing her hands to discreetly brush against Minerva's legs, and then she left, without a backward glance.
Minerva was left sitting there, resembling a goldfish, a very red goldfish, whilst her colleagues sent her curious looks. Albus, finally as the headmaster of the school took the plunge, "Minerva? What did she say?" he asked, resisting the urge to use leglimency on his long time friend.
Minerva stared resolutely at her plate concentrating on eating, "That is none of your business." She snapped.
Albus backed off, knowing that he'll loose Minerva if he pushed harder, "Alright." He replied, setting down to finish his delicious dinner.
Meanwhile in the CoS
Kate walked at a leisurely pace to the girls' bathroom, and the entrance to the chamber of secrets. Hissing out, she enjoyed the wide drop to the entrance. "Was it really necessary to order me to flirt with those three?" she asked out loud, ignoring Harry's cursing as she had just interrupted his telepathic conversation with his assassin girlfriend.
"Yes it was." Sara said, leaving no room for arguments. She sat down cross legged and leaned against the leg of a chair. Kate lay down and laid her head in Sara's lap, enjoying the feel of Sara's hands gently massaging her scalp.
"So, what happened?" she asked, as Harry joined them, using her arm as a headrest.
Sara kept her gentle massaging of Kate's scalp as she replied, "Lucius Malfoy is dead, Nacrissa was the one who paid us." In such a short sentence, a lot of people's world would have fallen apart, which means it was a good thing that no one was there to hear that revelation.
"Oh my God! Cissy actually went through with it?!" Kate exclaimed.
"Yes."
Kate looked up under lowered lashes, "I love you Sara, and you're bloody amazing."
Sara leaned down, it wasn't unusual to find the two best friends locking lips around Karala, and Harry had by then gotten used to those two kissing ever once in a while. "I know I am." She whispered, landing a gentle kiss on Kate's lips, and soon a battle of tongues began, that lasted for quite a while until Harry discreetly coughed. They broke apart, "Anyway, as I was saying, Cissy will be staying with us, out of sight and out of range from now on." She waited for Kate to jump up with joy as she will be reunited with her fair headed lover once again.
Kate jumped up with joy and let out a shout in ecstasy. "YES! When is she coming?" she asked, quieting down and facing Sara, ignoring Harry's muttered threats, as she in her excitement, had allowed Harry's head to bump 'painfully' against the ground.
"She is coming tomorrow afternoon; I need you and Sara to distract everyone from my disappearance. I should be back before dinner." Harry replied, standing up and stretching.
Kate didn't need to ask why Harry was going, as if it was she or Sara; they could more easily get distracted. It wasn't that they were distracted easily, but both Sara and she had previous relations with Nacrissa. "Alright then, now if you don't mind, I'll go to bed." She said, yawning. She wasn't extremely tired, but she still would enjoy any rest she could get.
Harry's eyes followed Kate out, and he then after a nod at Sara, retreated to the training room and started his training, retreating to bed at around 1 am. Sara took her book off the bookshelf, curled up on the sofa and continued reading, until sometime in the early morning at 2.
She made her way to her own bed and sank comfortably into it. Using her own magic, she gently sensed the school, finding out that Albus was sound asleep in his room, Severus brewing a potion, Minerva curled up in her animagus form on the couch asleep, Filius reading up on some inane hex, the rest of the staff all asleep and the ghosts wondering around…some drifting off into dreamland.
Sara sighed and stretched like the cheetah she was, she turned and drifted off into a mediative state, appearing to the unknown eye as sound asleep.
