"You can't be serious," Kat said pacing back and forth in front of a fairly amused Cedric, who was lounging on the couch. The pair was in the Hufflepuff common room clad in all its yellow glory. It was well after curfew and everyone else had already gone up to bed.

"And why wouldn't I be?" Cedric replied calmly, crossing his arms. Kat stopped in front of him, opening her mouth as if to say something, but decided against it and began to pace again. Cedric chuckled at her distress. "Kitty, I'm just going to put my name in the cup. That doesn't mean I'm going to be chosen," Kat sat down nest to him, watching him intently.

"What if you do get chosen?" she asked. Cedric just smiled.

"Because I'm so wedded to calamity, right love?" he joked.

"Don't go quoting Shakespeare at me," Kat glared poking him hard in the chest. "Not when I'm trying to explain why you should think about this."

"Kitten, its all to simple," Cedric smiled, rubbing her back, "I'm entering, end of story,"

"No," She protested shrugging his hand off.

"No?" Cedric raised an eyebrow, "and I'm guessing you're going to be the one to stop me?" Kat snorted at his remark.

"Well it all depends, I said no because WE," she emphasized, waving her index finger between them, "As in you and I are going to enter, end of story." Cedrics smiled faded instantly

"Absolutely not," he said sternly.

"And why not Mister Diggory?" Kat asked crossing her arms.

"Its too dangerous, you're not entering."

"Exactly why I don't want you to enter. Wait, are you saying I couldn't do it?

"Of course not! I'm just saying that its too risky."

"Then how come you can enter, but I cant?" Cedric stayed silent looking into the fire. Kat knew she had won the argument.

"Arg," he groaned, "You're so difficult sometimes," he ran his hand through his hair.

"I know," she smiled, giving him a hug, "Well goodnight, Ced" She pulled out of the hug and skipped off to the stairs. Leaving Cedric to sit on the couch with a confused expression on his face.

"Wait!" He exclaimed standing up. Kat stopped on the stairs and turned to look at him, "Are you still going to enter?" Kat just shrugged and continued upstairs.

"Come on, Lucy!" Kat yelled at her little Welsh corgi, "Hagrids waiting, "Lucy barked and ran past Kat, down the trail toward Hagrids Hut. Kat quickly followed suit and took off down the path. The grounds were quiet, it was early morning and there was a light fog. She finally arrived at the door, "Oi, Hagrid!" she yelled knocking as Lucy scratched at the door. The door opened and Lucy ran into the room and immediately sat with Fang on the floor.

"Katherine!" Hagrid exclaimed with a huge smile on his face, "You 'ave perfect timing. Would you like to help me with Madam Maximes horses?"

"That would be great!" Kat smiled with equal enthusiasm. Kats favorite subject had always been Care of Magical Creatures and she often helped Hagrid with his animals.

"Alright, come on then," Hagrid handed her a bucket full of food and another with brushes. They both walked out of the house and walked toward the stables. "So how was your summer Katherine?" Kat shrugged, not wanting to talk about Liam.

"Ive had better," she sighed. Hagrid nodded.

"Ay," he looked at her with sad eyes, "Liam was a great man, great student, and the animals really had a liking for him." He said opening the door to the stable.

"Animals and people alike," she replied, walking inside. She walked up to the closest horse; the horse began to snort at her. She grabbed hold of its snout and stroked it. Hagrid smiled weakly.

"Well," he said changing the subject, "Go fetch that whiskey for me would you?" Kat nodded and stroked the horse behind its ear and proceeded over to the cabinet he was talking about.

"Why aren't you with Diggory?" Hagrid asked placing hay in front of each of the horses. "You, Liam, and Cedric would be inseparable at this time of year."

"He's with Cho," She sighed, bringing the whiskey over to him.

"Chang?" Hagrid asked raising an eyebrow, "the fourth year? What is he doing with her?" She handed him the whiskey.

"He's dating her," she replied. Hagrid looked at her like he was going to say something, but decided not to. There was a comfortable silence as they cared for the horses. "Hagrid?"

"Hmm?" Hagrid hummed.

"Do you think I should enter the tournament?" She began to brush one of the horses.

"You have the talent no doubt, but…" he paused.

"but?"

"But its pretty dangerous don't you think? Besides why do you want to enter? I didn't think you were one for competitions like that." He chuckled, lightly.

"I don't," she mumbled, "But Cedrics entering,"

"Ah," Hagrid nodded, "Makes sense, hes a smart boy, but I don't think id be wise of you to enter for no valid reason."

"I know," she sighed storking the horses snout again, "I know."

Two Weeks later.

Kat sat in the astronomy tower looking through the window at the grounds. She closed her eyes listening to rain hit the glass. She felt completely at ease.

"Kat!!" Two voices yelled, echoing through the room. Her eyes snapped open to see the door wide open and the Weasley twins coming her way.

"Kitty, Kitty, Kitty Kat!" George exclaimed with a huge grin on his face.

"What?" she groaned at their loud voices.

"Come on!" Fred yelled picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder.

"Fred!" She protested, kicking and pinching, "Put me down, now!" the twins just laughed and waltzed out of the room, Fred refusing to put her down. "Can you atleast tell me where we are going?" The boys smiled at each other.

"Were going to go put our names in the cup," George announced.

"Now, shush," Fred instructed. The three flew down the stairs arriving outside the room with the Goblet room. Many students were standing outside of the room waiting for them.

"Did you get it?" A gryffindor boy asked as Fred finally put Kat down. Kat smoothed her robes.

"Get what?" she asked, looking up only to see that everyone had already taken off into the room. Kats heart sank as she looked in the room to see Cedric putting his name into the goblet. The crowd around him praised and cheered for him. He simply smiled back and talked with a few of his fellow Hufflepuffs. His smile faltered when he saw her in the entryway. He quickly excused himself and pushed out of the crowd, jogging over to her.

"Hey," He smiled flipping his wet hair out of his face. "I'd hug you, but I'm kind of, sort of, soaking wet." Kat laughed.

"Yeah, please don't," she smiled, "So I decided that I'm not going to enter. I mean, if I enter than you wont have ANY chance at your eternal glory." Cedric laughed, picking her up and hugging her.

"Yeah," the twins' voices sang, their voices echoing through the room. Cedric and Kat looked over just in time to see Fred and George sent flying from the cup. The pair laughed as they watched the old men versions of the twins roll around fighting on the ground.

"They are so thick sometimes," Kat smiled. Her smile immediately faded as she saw Cho glaring at her and Cedric. Kat groaned mentally slapping herself for yet again forgetting Cedric had a girlfriend. "Ced, put me down," she instructed. He willingly obliged to her request

"Whats wrong?" He asked looking concerned. Kat shook her head.

"I keep forgetting that girlfriends tend to not like it when their boyfriend is very close with another girl," she sighed motioning toward Cho, who was now coming their way.

"Hey Cedric," Cho smiled, hugging him.

"Hey," he kissed the top of her head.

"So what are you two up to?" she asked eyeing Kat.

"Nothing," Kat replied plastering a smile on her face, "Just talking about the tournament." Cedric nodded in agreement.

"Oh," Cho's smile faded, "I don't think you should've entered, Cedric, you might get hurt." She looked at him with worry in her eyes.

"I'll see you later, Ced," Kat interrupted, "Nice seeing you again Cho." Kat turned and walked over to Fred and George. "Oi, was this really what you carried me all the way down here for?" She laughed ruffling Fred's gray hair.

"Aw, piss off Kat," He pouted swatting her hand away.

"Now, that's no way to treat a lady, Weasley," Oliver said arriving behind Kat and putting his arm around her shoulder.

"Oh, excuse my dear," Fred replied sarcastically, kissing Kats hand, " The next time I age a billion years I'll be sure to be more courteous."

"Good," Kat chuckled, "Now would you old geezers and you Mister Wood like to join me in a game of quidditch?" Oliver nodded.

"But its raining," George said. Kat laughed.

"So?" she asked, "I call Oliver!" Kat jumped onto Oliver's back and the pair took off. The twins smiled at each other and followed them the best they could. Leaving Cedric to glare at the four of them as they exited.
