Kagome was skipping.
Yes, not good, but who could blame her. The next class for her was Professor Binn's History class, which was deader than dead, no pun intended. Her ghost teacher knew his subject better than any other teacher in school knew their subject, but then, he'd lived through most of it, and as interesting as History is, she never cared for the past. Kagome had always lived for the here and now, and she refused to look to the past. This was how her father had raised her, and she was happy for that.
Walking to the library, Kagome was practically beaming at her smart and brilliant idea. Skipping class and hiding out in the library, who would hide in the library when not in class? NO ONE! Well...not true...
Kagome stopped at the door and frowned as she peered inside, walking past the busy library, she made her way outside and opted for walking around the school. Taking in the scenery, she smiled as she let herself be engulfed by the beauty around her. Not even a week, and already she missed always being outside, playing with the dragons, and...she looked to the field where Quidditch practice and games were held...she missed flying. In Romania, she had no age restrictions when it came to flying on broomsticks. Such silly nonsense like that was unheard of there.
Sighing, she made her way out behind one of the large spectator sights. She saw a foreboding forest far off in the distance, and curiously, she made her way closer towards it. A glimmer of white shot between a few trees and before she knew what she was doing, she was chasing after it.
-x-x-x-
Draco was walking out of Hogwarts in his newly acquired Quidditch robes. He would be meeting up with the rest of the Slytherin team in a few minutes, but for now, he wanted to clear his mind of the Gryffindor that seemed to constantly be running through his mind.
Oddly enough, he found himself watching a trail of black hair vanish behind a tree. Now, curiosity would cause him to follow, but his cowardice kept him where he was, wondering why she'd travel into the dark and haunted depths of the Forbidden Forest. He had already been inside the forest; he didn't like it then, he wouldn't like it now, thus...he did not follow.
"Draco!"
He turned to see Flint and Blaise walking towards him. Now, Blaise wasn't apart of the Slytherin team, but he was his best friend, so it was no real surprise that he was there.
"Blaise..."
"What's up?"
Draco glanced back at the Forbidden Forest before turning to his friend and walking towards him.
"You aren't thinking of taking an afternoon walk through the Forbidden Forest, are you?"
"Not a bloody chance in hell!" He responded, "The Dragon girl decided to though."
Blaise's eyes lit up at the thought of the girl. He had actually enjoyed her company in their compartment. "You won't follow?"
"No!"
"Haha," Blaise smiled, his eyes sparkling in mischief, "That's right; you had a rather nasty experience with a hooded shadow that wanted to drink your blood,"
Draco glared, "Unicorn's blood; not mine!"
"Right, right...I'm sure you saw the grim reaper, and I'm also sure it'll stalk your fantasy Gryffindor in there."
Draco's cheeks flushed brightly. "Shut it!"
Flint scoffed, "What are you bloke's talkin' about?"
Blaise shook his head, "Nothin'," He turned back to Draco, "I came out to tell you that you boy's may want to hurry to the pitch. I heard the Gryffindor team was going to practice today."
Flint practically growled, "Let's go! Professor Snape has already given us a note signed to train you."
Blaise held his hands up, "I'll let the two of you head off on your way," He grinned, "I saw this cute girl throwing a tantrum in the hall on my way here."
Draco rolled his eyes before following after the team captain.

Kagome smiled, petting the soft creature in her lap. It was gorgeous, a feline, obviously, but she wasn't sure if it was a cat or a magical creature of the feline variety.
She had long, pure white fur that just barely skimmed the ground, and gorgeous baby blue eyes that seemed to look deep within her soul and completely through her.
"You can come back to Hogwarts with me, if you want."
The feline nuzzled it's head against her stomach, a small laugh escaped Kagome as she stood and retraced her footsteps, her wand held out with a lit tip as she held the catlike creature in her other arm. So happy to be out of the dark forest, she called out, "Nox~" and watched the light fade and disappear from the tip before she pocketed her wand. She caught sight of a familiar red head and made way towards the group, smiling as she ran over to a large group of students.
George was the first to notice her, pulling her behind him and Fred, which didn't go unnoticed by anyone there.
Draco sneered, for some reason, seeing the interaction between them had upset him greatly. "Protecting your girlfriend, Weasley?"
Kagome frowned, answering before George could comment, "First off, I'm not his girlfriend, secondly, what reason would he have to protect me from a friend?"
It didn't even take a minute for the entire group of Slytherin's to break out laughing. In fact, Draco and Kagome were the only one's not laughing. Kagome looked to Draco, who was looking more and more uncomfortable by the second.
"Draco?"
"Don't call me by my name..." He muttered, trying to keep his voice down and hidden beneath the laughter of his housemates.
Kagome caught onto the quickly. She was a very bright girl, and prided herself on her perceptiveness. "Draco, if you don't want me here, tell me." She spoke clearly so that everyone could hear her. "However, I want to hear it from you, not your lackey's, or your teammates, not Blaise or anyone else, you. Can you make decision's for yourself, Draco?"
Draco felt the eyes of his team on him, the eyes of Gryffindor's on him, and felt the pressure of his family name suddenly drown out his own thoughts. "Why would I want to be friends with a bloody Gryffindor?"
Kagome looked at Draco for a moment, stepping away from George so that he couldn't pull her back, she walked up to Draco. Everyone watched her place her hand on the red and gold tie around her neck. "Because I wear red and gold, you will not be my friend? Because of the house I am in, you think I am not worth the time?"
Draco hid his nervousness, and threw his head back and gave a short laugh, "Obviously!"
With sad eyes, she looked to his own tie and then...she smiled. Pulling her tie loose, she removed it from around her neck, then, in a bold move, she walked forward a little closer, and Draco stood frozen as she placed it around his neck. "What is your name?" She asked, her voice calm as she questioned the boy.
"...what?"
"Name! What is your name!"
"Draco Malfoy, you know my name!"
Kagome smiled, "Are you called Slytherin?"
"No...not unless your Gryffindor friends throw insults at me."
"Well, that is them, I however am Kagome Higurashi, niece of Ginny, Ronald, Fred, George, Percy and Bill Weasley..., grand-daughter of Molly and Arthur Weasley and daughter of Charlie Weasley and Rai Higurashi...I have never been Gryffindor, and nor have I been associated with the colors Gold and Red, until I came to Hogwarts!" She stepped closer until her nose just barely touched his, "So Draco Malfoy, you listen closely to me. I will not let you judge me by my house, as I have chosen not to judge you by your house. If you hadn't known, I do like the colors silver and green, they are in fact my favorite two colors, right up there with blue and white! I love snakes, since they are so close in stature to dragon's, all except for size really, and then of course, I actually have a teddy bear from when I was little, NAMED SALAZAR, after the founder Salazar Slytherin, for the reason, it's GREEN! I am not some Gryffindor girl that can be scrutinized and then grouped together with all the other Gryffindor's...I am just...Kagome." Stepping back, she turned and stomped off to the changing rooms.
No one moved, no one breathed, well, there was breathing, but it was light, quiet, and almost nonexistent.
-x-x-x-
So maybe she was being childish, she didn't need to stomp into the Slytherin changing room and steal his tie, nor did she need to put it around her neck, and tighten it neatly around the collar of her shirt before heading off to her next class.
She wasn't surprised to find Professor Snape more than a little peeved when she entered his class late again.
"Miss. Higurashi, if you are to make tardiness a habit, than please, do me a favor, and don't bother showing up at all."
Kagome completely ignored him, still trying to fathom the fact that she'd stolen a tie. Ginny had clearly discovered the tie, and was now eyeing the fabric with the utmost curiosity.
Snape too had taken notice of the change in neckwear, but had continued his lesson, only calling on her to stay after class. She knew why, she had detention again, and also...he probably wanted to know of the tie and why it was around her neck instead of one of his house's student's.
'He'll know soon enough; I don't plan on leaving this room till I've told him everything that just happened!' She decided, staring with a new resolve practically glowing in her eyes.
