Chapter 15: Trouble is always on time.

Only fucking Potter would screw up a brilliant thing so royally. I was happy, he was happy! At least judging from the look on his face and the fact that he could barely stop staring at my chest. But no! He has to go and demolish everything with his utter bullshit! What in Salazar's sac was he going on about? Since when did he give a damn about how I dress!

Fine, perhaps it was not the best look to be parading about in this gear, but it's not like I did it on purpose! And here I thought he understood what was going on between us. That it was a bit of fun, but no! No! It's perfectly fine to feel my ass up and shove your tongue down my throat without being your girlfriend because it pleasures you, but when you mistakenly dress like a slag just once, you're a whore! And Chang! Oh no Chang is a total saint as usual! It's like wherever I turn that damn girl just follows me! UGH!

I turned into the compartment just as Ginny was leaving it.

"Ky!"

Ugh I couldn't deal with Harry right now! Ginny rolled her eyes at the look on my face and side stepped me, heading down the corridor.

"Ky!"

I ignored him and caught up with Ginny, knowing he wouldn't want to get into anything if she was there.

"What are you doing?"

"Avoiding Harry. Proceed."

She raised an eyebrow at me, "So you're just using me?"

"Glad we got that out of the way, now you're doing a very poor job of helping me. Can we walk?"

She sighed but continued down the corridor. Stupid Harry.

A tall boy with dark hair suddenly appeared in front of us, the door to his compartment left open. He smirked at Ginny and smiled at me. I could see a group of boys, all with similar smiles on their faces inside.

"Hello Ky. Hello…"

"Ginny." She said sceptically and I was with her on that.

"It's Thornton."

He laughed, a deep laugh that never touched his eyes. "How cute." He looked to his friends, has if to make sure that they knew that I wasn't being rude, that I was being cute.

I wasn't.

I made to move on, but he grabbed my upper arm, albeit not tightly but in a way that was way too familiar for a stranger. I looked at his hand, and then looked up at him.

"Do you not like your hands?"

He smirked, "Oh I do like my hands. I'm sure you will too… in time." I heard the guffaws of laughter in the background. He traced his finger upwards and then whipped it back as if scalded. He smiled menacingly, my small display of wandless magic obviously not threatening enough.

"It's such a shame that you changed. I so enjoyed your last outfit. Then again, these trousers," He tilted his head to the side and pointedly looked at my butt, not bothering to look up as he spoke, "look amazing on you. Of course, they would look ten times better on the floor…"

I looked at Ginny for confirmation. Was she hearing the same thing I was? Must be, her eyes were popping out of her head. OK, that's it, I took a step forward, "Listen here…boy."

He boomed out a thunderous laugh at that, "How cute, she's pretending not to know my name." He turned back to the boys in the room, and they tittered like monkeys. "Oh, but don't worry, you can't lie later on, when you're screaming it in pleasure."

Before I could make a move though, a spell shot between me and Ginny. It hit the boy in the face, and he shrieked like a little girl. He looked up, amidst the boils that were popping up,

"CORNER! You fucking-"

"Davies, I won't talk so much, it only agitates the boils."

I laughed at the look of realisation that dawned on his face, agitating boils made it burst, burst boils scar. He ran off towards the washrooms, shutting the door to the laughing boys.

I turned around and the thought I had just evaporated. My mouth was hanging open slightly, dry. I knew this boy. I blinked, trying to get rid of the image of brown hair and grey eyes.

"Jack Corner. Of course, I know who you two are. Ginny Weasley and Ky Thornton."

Well, it was true, you'd have to be pretty obtuse not to recognise a Weasley and Ginny was the only girl, and well I was Nonno's granddaughter. Ginny was looking pointedly at me, trying to relay some unspoken message. Oh wait,

"Thank you." I then turned on my heel and walked away from the boy that washisbest friend.

"Why did Jack Corner help you?"

Ginny caught up quickly, an amazed look on her face. I shrugged, "Why is Davies such an ass? If we had to try to dissect the brains of boys, we would be here all day. Trying to shrink a scalpel small enough."

She laughed, seems my distraction worked. "He was a toad, wasn't he? I mean you did open yourself up to it by dressing like a total slag but it's none of his business."

I turned to her, gesturing profusely. "Exactly! What is up with these guys! They just want to wheedle their way into everything! They're worse than girls!"

She smiled, "Well not all of them. That Jack Corner seems pretty nice. Well, I guess it's expected since he's a Puff, but still."

I looked at her sceptically, "You have a crush on him?"

"WHAT! NO!" There it was, over the top denial.

Our conversation got cut yet again, but this time there was no obnoxious egotistic boy.

"GINNY! GODRIC! HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?"

It seems I spoke too soon. A tall girl with a way too short skirt (where was Potter now, huh? Why wasn't he calling her a slag!), and dirty blonde hair with red highlights bounded towards us. A pale girl with black hair and a tall Asian girl followed, but this was obviously the leader. Ginny didn't look excited at all at seeing the girl, she actually took a step back. The girl rounded her light brown eyes on me,

"KY THORNTON!" Why was she screaming? Why? Wait…what the fuck is on her lip. Was it a mole. OK don't look…don't look.

"WHY DON'T YOU GUYS JOIN US!"

"Thanks, Loudelle, but Ky and I actually have some place to be."

"OH, WE CAN COME WITH?"

"No…actually we were just heading back. Bye."

Ginny quickly grabbed my hand and whirled around. I didn't resist, still getting over the fact that the girl's name was actually LOUDelle.

"And I thought I had it bad with Bobby and Parvati! Those are your roommates!"

She shook her head, "You're one to talk. You're not exactly the best roomie. What with the amount of detentions you get, you're always disturbing everyone's sleep. I heard Lavender complaining about it."

"Oh, and you're the perfect roommate, Snorezilla!"

"I do not snore!"

"Oh, you so do! And I am not as bad as Loudey McMolesville over there!"

Ginny's face crumpled from angry to laughing, "You know what the saddest fucking part is. That's a fake mole. Apparently, she overheard Terry Boot saying that he thought he found moles on girls hot and she's been wearing it ever since."

"That's disturbing! Boot looks like such a normal bloke-"

"Oh, I asked him about it. He made a mistake; he meant beauty spots. Too bad Loudelle doesn't know that."

I laughed, when had Ginny stop being such a spoiled little brat? She realised we were both laughing and stopped abruptly when she reached the door. We walked into the compartment, and I went straight for the seat furthest away from Harry, shooting him a glare that warned him not to speak to me. I took a large bite of the Charm choc that he must have left for me on the seat. My glare grew more pronounced – all the Charm choc in the world would not make me forgive him and he was an idiot for trying!

Harry's POV

"This is just like Ky! Ugh!" Hermione grumbled for the tenth time.

"Mione' just calm down. I'm hungry too OK!" Ron sighed and turned to me muttering "girls".

He was preaching to the choir. Hermione turned her sharp eyes on him, "I am not doing this because I am hungry! I am doing this because I am worried!"

"Why are you worried? She's gone to see Dumbledore, isn't it?"

She turned her fire on me, "Well if you didn't notice Dumbledore is here already Harry!"

I looked up at the head table and she was right. Dumbledore was here already, busy listening to a short lady whispering into his ears. The lady looked like she was colour blind, save for the colour pink. She dressed like a five-year-old from the neck up and a maiden aunt from the neck down. She had short mousy brown hair that was curly. She was so short, she was standing as Dumbledore sat, yet she spoke comfortably into his ear. She turned to take a sip from her goblet and recognition hit me. That was the witch from my hearing.

"…it isn't enough that Hagrid isn't here. Ky disappears as well."

"She hasn't disappeared Mione' she's probably changing. You know she didn't carry any clothes. That's why she is taking so long."

"What if something happened? When Ky isn't where she is supposed to be it usually means someone has taken her!"

"It's that Umbridge woman."

"What! Who? Why would she take Ky?"

"What's an Umbridge. Sounds like a bad hair style."

I ignored Ron and looked at Hermione, "From my hearing. She works for Fudge…what is she doing here?"

Hermione turned and stared at the head table, her face flashing from worried to confused to comprehension to worry again.

"Oh No. No…No."

I didn't get to ask her what she was talking about as the great hall doors just opened. We all turned our heads around hoping it was Ky. I wasn't worried initially, but Hermione had me convinced now. She was gone for a while. Like I don't have enough to worry about with Hagrid's absence and Umbridge's appearance…why can't I just have one day of peace at Hogwarts. I watched as the little first years started filing in.

I watched the Sorting Hat, distracted enough by its warning. I didn't know it did that. Well, I guess it did have the minds of the Founders in it. I looked to the door, something I was unconsciously doing for minutes now. The sorting began…OK now I'm officially worried.

Hermione looked like she wanted to jump out and look for Ky. We were just being paranoid though. This is Hogwarts. Dumbledore didn't seem bothered in the least by her absence…but Snape was back. Snape was the one that had called her initially…OK I'll look for her if the sorting finishes and she still doesn't show up.

It finished and it seemed Ron had reached the exact same decision as I did, as we both stood and turned to each other. Nobody noticed though, nobody even glanced at us. This was as all heads of the hall were glued to the entrance, the doors banging open.

The sound of the banging door wasn't what stole the attention though. It was the sight below it, of Kyrianna Thornton hovering over a body….

A/N: Sorry for the boy bashing boys, don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of boys and so is Ky, it's just that she was having an anti-boy moment due to Harry. So hopefully nobody was offended :) And sorry for the cliffhanger! Please review!
