Chapter 7
At 'Magik Fingers' Spa
"Now this is the life." said Lily leaning back in the mud.
"I will never think anything is useless again." Kat said as they laid more hot stones on her body.
"Ok you guys; let's play a little Truth or Secret." Santana suggested as she was bored cause this was just like a normal day for her.
"What's Truth or Secret?" Jessica asked in a confused manner.
"Well, it's like truth or dare but instead if you pick secret you have to tell one of your deepest, darkest secrets." Santana explained.
"Ok well that works for us. You can start then Santana." Rachel said.
"Okay doky. Jessica: Truth or Secret?" Santana asked turning to Jessica.
Jessica took the cucumbers off her eyes and looked at Santana. "Ummm… I guess secret."
"Okay, hmm, what is one secret you have about… guys you have liked?" asked Santana.
"Well, I um… I, well, I liked Peter Pettigrew and Severus Snape." Jessica said blushing.
Each and every one of the girls burst out laughing and didn't stop for five minutes. (Santana had been told about the two so she was laughing too.)
"You guys, it's not that funny." exclaimed Jessica pouting.
"Oh darling, it is. It really is." Rachel told her.
"Fine, Rachel: Truth or Secret?" Jessica asked glaring at Rachel.
"Truth, duh!" said Rachel.
"Is it true that you were going to break up with Remus because you thought he would hurt you in his werewolf form?" inquired Jessica.
"Yes… it sounds shallow, I know, but I didn't know that much about werewolves at the time and it was just something to think about ya know?" Rachel said bowing her head in shame.
'Whoa…Remus is a werewolf. I'll have to be more careful around him.' thought Santana.
"Rachel, it's ok. You know the only reason I won't go out with Sirius is because I can't…" Kat said before she realized what she was saying.
"In reality, we don't know what your reason/reasons are." Amy told Kat solemnly.
"Never mind, let's just get on with the game." Kat said her face turning beat red.
"Ok." Rachel said smirking. "Kat: Truth or Secret?"
"This is so not fair, but since y'all will keep bugging me. Secret." said Kat sighing.
"Shweet, what is your secret about Sirius?" questioned Rachel.
All the girls turned and looked towards Kat. "Well, because I don't want to be one of his 'flavor of the week' girls. I just can't trust him enough. And I can't see him staying with one girl. So why would I be different?" Kat said looking each one of her friends in the eyes.
The girls just stared at her with their mouth wide open. No one dared to say anything till Kat was ready. Though, they didn't really know what to say. Rachel was the first one to speak up after another couple of minutes.
"Wow Kat. I never thought about it that way. I guess you do have a good reason." she said looking at her best friend.
"Yeah Kat, I mean why don't you just tell him that? I mean maybe then he would leave you alone." Lily suggested shrugging her shoulders.
"Don't you all get it?" Kat asked kind of laughed in disbelief. "I just don't want to go out with him because I know he will hurt me!"
"But you never know he might be different around you." Jessica tried explaining.
"Can you imagine him being any different?" asked Kat honestly.
"Well, um, er, ah, but-" most of the girls started.
"That's exactly what I am talking about." Kat said explained.
"Yah and what we are talking about is that you never know. Have you even noticed how he has been looking at you for these past two days?" Rachel asked slowly, watching Kat's reaction to what she was telling her.
"Sure I have. But I have also seen how he acts around the girls at school. So who's saying that he won't change like 'that,'" she snapped her fingers, "as soon as he boards the train and gets to school?" She asked all of them tiredly.
"All we are saying is the maybe you should give the guy a chance." Santana said reasoning with Kat.
"I just don't wanna be hurt." Kat said sadly, as she turned her head to look at the wall beside her.
"Ummm, okay guys, uh, wanna get back to the game?" Hannah asked hesitantly.
"Sure, so it's your turn Hannah," Kat said with an evil smirk on her face, ": Truth or Secret?"
"Fine," Hannah brightly, "um, I guess truth."
"Okay then," Kat said thinking evil thoughts, "Did you wet the bed when you were little, and if you did, for how long?"
"As a matter oh factually, I did!" Hannah said as cocky as she could. "Till I was about eleven I believe.
"You mean even when you were a first year you did?" Amy asked sniggered.
"No, I stopped just before I came." Hannah said dryly. (A/n: no pun intended I swear! Well maybe…)
"Do you have a problem with that?" Hannah asked boldly, balling her hands into fists.
"Hannah, chill, I was just wondering." Amy said slightly shocked.
"Well… so was I." said Hannah laughing at the look on Amy's face. "Ha, you thought that I would truly hit you? Come on Amy, you know me better than that!"
"He, he, yah I guess so." Amy said still laughing nervously.
"In that case, Amy: Truth or Secret?" Hannah asked with a sly grin across her face.
"Damn it." Amy said out loud. "Um, I think I'll pick secret."
"Okay Amy, what is one secret that you are keeping from your lover, Amos?" Hannah asked deviously.
"I, uh, don't have any secrets that I'm not telling him."
"But you do Amy, you do! Cause you had me do something about this 'secret.'"
"Well, that was a long time ago, like ages and ages."
"So were my bed-wetting days, dearie." Hannah said sweetly.
"Well fine: Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, FINE!" Amy said ready to burst. "I cheated on him kay? Yah, me, loving this guy I got, but I went with some other guys over last summer's break." Amy quickly clasped her hand over her mouth.
"Wait Amy, did you say guys, as in the plural form?" Jessica asked eager to hear more.
Amy said nothing but kept her hand firmly over her mouth and eyes wide with shock.
"Amy: breath." Rachel suggested after nearly two minutes of silence.
Amy only blinked.
"Well at least we know that she is still alive." Lily said trying to lighten the mood.
"So how many guys are we talking here, Amy?" Santana asked cautiously.
Amy held up two shaky fingers.
"Holy shit Amy. Two?" Hannah asked stupidly.
If it was at all possible, Amy's eyes got even wider.
"Nice going dork." Kat said hitting Hannah on the head with one of the rocks. "Okay Amy, work with us now, what exactly went on?"
Amy slowing started moving again. (A/n: she was sitting like really ridged and straight. Idk)
"We, um, well I think we uh, er, well with the first guy, I think we were at a party, and he asked me to dance. So I was like what the hell, why not, right? So we were dancing and what not, and well he kissed me. But only one, and short at that." Amy said with a tear sliding down her face.
"And the second guy you mentioned?" Rachel asked worried about how Amy would take all of this.
"He was a good friend of mine, a muggle, but a friend. Well, we were at a different party, his 16th birthday party I think, and well we both had a little bit of beer that night, and well, we were kinda drunk so I'm not really sure exactly what happened, I only have a vague description from one of my other friends that were there."
"Well?" All the girls asked almost at once.
"She said that we were all over each other."
"Oh." was the group's response.
"Um, Amy, how long ago, roughly was this?" Lily asked slowly.
"The beginning of our summer going into our sixth year, um, right after we started going out I think." Amy said thinking.
"But, well, why?" Hannah asked.
"How was I to know we would last this long? How was I to know I would fall in love?" Amy said is utter seriousness.
"You have a point, but still, if you really liked this guy then, I don't know, maybe I am just thinking from my perspective, but I would never cheat on my boyfriend." Kat said softly.
"You guys are making me feel horrible. Let's just move in." said Amy. "Santana: Truth or Secret."
"Truth." Santana said.
"Hmmm…How many boys have you actually dated? That doesn't include one nighters and people your grandmother paid for." Amy said looking Santana in the eye.
"Well, actually only 1. Everyone else, according to you, doesn't count." Santana said.
"So if you didn't have any rules?" Jessica asked.
"About 45-50." said Santana like it was nothing.
The girls stared at her in shock. Well, all except for one, Hannah Williams.
"No wonder you little slut." Hannah said 'out of the blue.'
"Uhh…Hannah darling are you feeling ok?" asked Kat.
"Sure. Of course I am. I'm just being brutally honest." said Hannah.
"Anyway, Lily: Truth or Secret." Santana asked.
"Secret."
"Ok, how many of your friends boyfriends have you dated?" Santana asked smirking.
"Do I really have to answer that?" Lily questioned.
"Yes Lily. We all said that we would tell the truth." Kat said.
"Ok fine. I went out with Remus for a week, Amos for ten days, and Silas for a month, and Jim for three weeks." said Lily blushing.
"Why was Remus only one week?" asked Rachel clearly offended.
"Because he realized that he was in love with you and he didn't want to hurt me in the end." Lily said, looking at Rachel for redemption.
"What do you mean he 'realized' that he was in love with me? Holy shit did he cheat on me with you?" Rachel asked almost in hysterics.
"No, no, no, dear listen." Lily said trying to calm Rachel down.
Rachel just glared at her.
"We started going out before you all did. It was when he was going out with me; he realized that he really, REALLY liked you. So we broke up so we both could be happy."
"Okay Lily, it's cool. We need to get going anyway. If I relax anymore, I don't think I'll ever leave." Rachel said hugging Lily.
The girls giggled but they had to agree with Rachel. No too much pampering for one day. They paid for the treatments the got up and left.
"Well, I don't want to go back yet. I want to go…SHOPPING!" said Jessica jumping up and down.
"That sounds like a great idea." Lily said.
"Oh, let's go. I need a new set of robes anyway." Rachel said agreeing with her friends.
"Cool. I need a cool pink baby tee any way." said Hannah grinning.
"Sweet. Spending our parents money on clothes." Amy said.
The girls looked at Kat knowing if she didn't agree the crap was going to hit the fan.
"Fine whatever. Let's get this over with." Kat said sighing. She couldn't deny her friends.
They cheered and skipped off toward the shops.
5 hours later and way too much money spent
"You guys, come on. Our parents are going to kill us and besides, the stores are about to close." Kat said noticing the emptiness in her purse.
"Yea and the guys are probably worried about us." Rachel stated.
"I guess you guys are right." said Lily following her friends out of the store.
"Hmm…I wonder what the guys did all day." Amy pondered for a minute.
"They are probably all worrying their asses off about us." said Rachel.
What the guys really did
After the girls left: Sleep for about 3 more hours, then they ate for about an hour, then they just sat around outside on the porch talking about the girls till the girls came back.
The conversation went about something like this:
"I wonder where the girls went." said Silas.
"Yea. They've been gone a long time." Sirius said.
"So?" James said sleepily.
"Do you want to go look for them?" asked Amos.
"No. Do you want to go look for them?" questioned James.
"No. Do you want to go look for them Moony?" Sirius asked.
"Not really. Do you want to Jim?" Remus asked.
This went on till the girls got back.
"Hey guys! Missed us?" Lily asked as they found they guys outside in the garden.
"Of course we did love." James said slowly getting up.
"How about me, did yah miss me?" Rachel asked Remus.
"But of course I missed you!" Remus said hugging Rachel.
Rachel looked up at Remus, and just kinda started at him for a minute.
"What's up babe?" Remus asked, trying to figure out what she was looking for.
"I love you too." Rachel said quietly.
"Wha-" Remus asked, but as he looked over at Lily and understood.
"Aw, this is so cute! It just makes me wanna PUKE!" Kat giggled pretending to stick her finger down her throat.
"Oh shut it Kat! I don't really care, I'm happy." Rachel said truthfully. "Don't worry chica it'll happen for you too." Rachel said looking over at Sirius.
Kat gave her a dirty look then she frowned and walked away.
"What was that about?" Remus asked with his eyebrows raised.
"Nothing, nothing at all, come on lets get reacquainted with everyone else." Rachel laughed.
Everyone else was having a great time talking with their boyfriends and talking about today and then hearing the guys make up lies about what they did all day.
Santana then noticed someone sitting on a bench furthest away from everybody.
"Erm, Kat you okay there?" Santana asked sitting next to her new friend.
"Sure, sure I am." Kat said sniffling.
"Cause I uh, think someone is looking for you." Santana said slyly.
"Who is?" Kat asked completely puzzled.
"Hey love." said a new, male voice from behind them.
"Oh, hey Sirius, what did you need?" Kat asked.
"I, er, I wanted to, um, talk to you uh, alone?" Sirius asked sheepishly.
"Sure. I'm not busy." Kat said smiling.
"I'll just be leaving now." Santana said grinning from ear to ear.
"Ha, what is up with her?" Kat asked completely in the dark.
Sirius sat next to her, and just sat.
"Um, didn't you say that you wanted to talk?" Kat asked.
In one swift motion Sirius leaned in and kissed her.
Kat sat there completely dumbfounded.
When her senses finally returned, she realized what was going on and freaked.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" Kat shrieked in terror.
"Holy shit who's over there?" Kat vaguely heard Hannah asked.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no." Kat mumbled over and over again as she began rocking back and forth.
"Oh my god, is that Kat? Who's that other person?" Kat heard Jessica asked.
Rachel rushed over to her best friend.
"Kat, Kat, hon what's wrong?" Rachel asked worried about her friend's condition.
Kat continued to rock back and forth then out of no where, she jumped off of the bench and ran back into the Leaky Cauldron and up to the rooms.
Rachel looked at Sirius accusingly but turned and ran after Kat.
"Hey, is that Sirius?" James asked squinting into the darkness.
"Hold up, where did Rach and Kat go?" Jessica asked noticing that there was only one person standing over there now.
"Er, Sirius, you okay man? You got that weird look on you face again." Remus asked concerned.
Everyone was so concerned with Sirius; none of them noticed Santana, silently giggling, in the background.
In the girls room
Kat ran into the room crying, but she just wasn't sure why. She threw herself on the bed and just kind of laid there. Till of course Rachel showed up.
"Kat, Kat, calm down hon. Okay now what happened?" Rachel asked in distress.
"He did it again." Kat said gaining her composure.
"'He did it again?' What are you talking about?" Rachel asked.
"He did it again." Was all Kat said again but accenting 'again.'
"Again, again, hmmm so he did it before?" Rachel asked a little slow.
Kat rolled her eyes but nodded sadly.
"Hmmm, he did it before, so he… he, HOLY SHIT!" Rachel screamed when she thought of something.
"DID HE TRY TO JUMP ON YOU AGAIN???" Rachel asked.
Kat couldn't tell if she was being serious or not so she just started at her friend.
"Sorry, I'm kidding, I swear. But did he uh, well, did he k-" Kat cut her friend short.
"Please, please, please don't say it." Kat said hiding her face in her pillow.
"OH MY GOD, no he fucking didn't! Not again?" Rachel sighed.
All Kat could do was nod her head.
"But why, I thought that he understood that you were just being nice to him for the rest of our sakes?" Rachel asked confused.
"Apparently he didn't." Kat's muffled voice came from inside the pillow.
"Aw, I'm so sorry!" Rachel said as she hugged her friend.
"So am I." Kat said sadly.
Just then the door to the room burst open and people began pouring inside. (A/n: Lily, Hannah, Amy, and Jessica)
"Katya, what happened? Sirius is in like total shock! Did you say anything?" came a few questions and comments from the girls.
"Guys, CHILL!" Rachel said.
"No, no, I want to talk to them." Kat said her cheeks flushed with colour.
"Er, okay." Rachel said looking at Kat who was now shaking.
"Did any of you, ever mention, to any of the guys, any of them, about what we talked about in the spa today?" Kat said shaking with anger.
All of the girls looked that Kat in disbelief.
"Wha-what do you mean?" asked Jessica who was about to start crying.
"HE KISSED ME AGAIN!" Kat screamed.
"Oh my god, are you frickin serious?" asked Lily.
"No I'm making the whole fucking thing up just to get a rise outa all of you!" Kat shrieked almost in hysterics.
"Oh well okay-" Amy started.
"UGH!" Kat yelled.
"But she said she was joking." Amy said.
"Amy, do you have any idea what the word sarcasm means?" Hannah asked.
"Yah, that's what you and Rachel and Kat are-" Amy said thinking aloud. "Ooooooooooooh, you were?"
Kat rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Yes, Amy yes, I was being sarcastic."
"Ah, okay, now I get it." Amy said smiling.
Kat took her hand and hit Amy up-side her head.
"What was that for?" Amy asked rubbing her head.
"Anyway, yah, he kissed me again, and wanted to know if any of you told him to kiss me or something to try and change my mind about going out with him." Kat explained.
"I never said anything." Said Jessica.
"Me neither." Amy told Kat truthfully.
"Not me." Hannah said.
"You know I would never do something like that." Lily promised.
"Yah, we'll let you go out with him when you want to. Plus we know how upset you get when weird people kiss you." Said Rachel trying to lighten the mood.
"Urg, then I wonder what came over him." Thought Kat out loud.
"Um, I don't mean to be the barer of bad news but uh, Santana isn't here ya know. I think she's still down stairs with the guys." Hannah said looking around.
"Nah, you don't think Santana did it do you?" asked Rachel.
"Well, we aren't exactly saying that she didn't do it. But, nah, you don't think it could do you?" Lily asked looking around at all the other girls.
"How can we be sure. I mean we haven't known her but a few days." Kat said still looking at all of her friends.
In the garden
"Sirius, darling, what's wrong?" asked Santana trying to act concerned and hiding her grin.
"I thought she liked me, I thought you said-" Sirius started.
"Shh, it's okay, um, er, well what did you do?" Santana asked putting her finger to Sirius' lips.
"I don't know what came over me. I mean all I was going to do was sit and talk to her, maybe see if she really did like me. But then I don't know, I really don't know what I was thinking." Sirius began to ramble.
"Sirius, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?" James asked angrily.
"I kissed her." Sirius mumbled.
"What, I couldn't hear you?" Remus asked.
"I FRICKIN KISSED HER OKAY!" Sirius roared.
"What? What-da-ya mean?" asked Amos a little slow as well that night.
"Amos, come here, okay did your parents ever teach you about 'the birds and the bees?'" Jim asked him.
"No, I mean why did you kiss'er?" Amos tried again.
"I said I didn't know what came over me." Sirius said again.
"Yah, but like what were you thinking?" James asked.
"He obviously wasn't." Remus said sniggering a bit.
"Go ahead and laugh and have you little joke. Thanks for helping guys. Thanks a whole fucking lot." Sirius said as he went inside.
"Um, I'm going to go check on the rest of the girls." Santana said suddenly, turning quickly so the rest of the guys wouldn't see her smile.
In the girls room
The girls heard a knock at the door.
Kat sighed. "Come on in, who ever the hell you are." Kat mumbled that last part under her breath.
"It's only me guys." said Santana walking into the room.
"Oh hey." said Kat quietly.
"Um, hey Santana you didn't mention anything to Sirius any what we all we talking about at the spa today did you?" asked Rachel.
"Of course I didn't! Kat told us all not too and if my friend tells me not to tell a secret like that I would never dream of it!" Santana said a little bit too sincerely but no one really noticed, but Kat gave her a funny look.
"Aw, you poor thing. I can't believe that he would do something like that to you, and then stand down there and brag to everyone about it!" Santana said trying to comfort Kat.
"He was- he was bragging about it?" asked Kat in disbelief.
"Oh yeah, talking to James and Remus and the other guys." Santana continued.
Kat sat there with her mouth wide open, so was Rachel. Kat sat there for another couple of seconds. Then like a flash, something changed in her.
"Rach, I don't care how much you want me to get along with this guy. I just can't do it anymore. I have given him chance after chance after chance and he just never changes. He always goes back to his old ways." Kat told Rachel shaking a bit, with a fire burning in her eyes.
"But-" Rachel started.
Kat wouldn't hear of it. "Hey, I know that you want me to get along with this guy, but it just isn't happening! And I can't take much more of this- this abuse!" said Kat, her voice rising with anger.
Rachel looked slightly hurt but nodded her head all the same.
"So what are we just all not going to friends with each other anymore?" asked Jessica quietly.
"Jessica Nicole, of course we will still be friends, and we always will!" Kat said, with a small smile on her face. "I just refuse to come into any contact with that 'person' ever again." her face darkening again.
Santana just sat there, with a smile on her face taking it all in. 'Wow, this dare I say 'friend' thing is fun…but shit, I like acting like this more!'
Everyone kind of sat there for a little while, wallowing in their own thoughts. That's when they heard a knock on the door.
"Shit, everyone, er, get in your pajamas, and Santana hide some where." Rachel whispered quietly enough so only the girls could hear her.
All the girls quickly slipped into the pajamas and Santana hid in the corner once Rachel turned off the lights.
The person that was outside the door knocked again.
"Hello?" came a voice from outside the door. "Are you all still up?"
Rachel ruffled her hair a bit and walked slowly to the door.
"Ugh, hello?" she said as agitated as she muster.
"Oh, sorry I didn't know that you would be asleep already." said Remus trying to peer inside the door.
"Well, it's now, 10:30, and we have a train to catch tomorrow, so I suggest that you get in bed as well." Rachel said looking at her boyfriend.
"Well, I er, I just wanted to see if Kat was okay."
"Oh yeah, she's just fine and dandy. She's never been better." Rachel said bitterly.
"Really, cause she looked a little upset when she left." Remus said slowly. (A/n: Ha, I know I used that a lot lately, it's a slow kinda day for them all.)
"Ugh!" Rachel just about screamed. "We'll get you up when we are ready to leave okay?" Rachel said as she slammed the door in Remus' face.
"What did I say?" Rachel heard him mutter as he stood there a minute.
Rachel sighed a rolled her eyes as she turned the light back on.
"Well I better be getting to bed as well." Santana said as she got up and brushed herself off. "Good night all."
Santana left the room and the rest of the girls just sat there, still taking in the events of that evening.
'This is going even better than I thought,' Santana said as she walked down the hallway chuckling to herself, "even better."
