"I do feel so sorry," I heard Draco Malfoy say during one of the last potions classes before break, "for all those people who have to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas because they're not wanted at home."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR66zFuge1k

"Shut up daddy's boy!" I growled under my breath. I hated when he made fun of Harry. He looked at me and opened his mouth to say something but then surprisingly, chose to stay silent. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekhV3AWc8D

When we left the dungeons at the end of Potions, we found our way blocked by a large fir tree. Two enormous feet stuck out at the bottom and a loud puffing sound told us that Hagrid was behind it.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7zDsQ9TNn

"Would you mind moving out of the way?" Came Malfoy's cold drawl from behind us. "Are you trying to earn some extra money, princess? Hoping to be gamekeeper yourself when you leave Hogwarts, I suppose? That hut of his must seem like a palace compared to what you're used to." I dived at Malfoy just as Snape came up the stairs.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3bIwD9w9t

"She was provoked, Professor Snape," said Hagrid, sticking his huge hairy face out from behind the tree. "Malfoy was insulting' her,"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYDpcIFRCd

Malfoy's mumbled something inaudible but Snape got the message. "Detention, Malfoy. Tonight at 8'oclock see me in my office...Katrina, just because you are provoked does not give you the right to start fighting and break school rules - got it?" He said sternly. I nodded my head feeling properly shamed as he strode off down the hall.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nbENLvITo
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvNA2zPiZ4

The Great Hall did indeed look spectacular. Decorations had been put up everywhere and 11 large fir trees were stationed around the room (the 12 was being dragged into the hall by Hagrid). 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mOLSdR9fR

"Professor Flitwick, would you like some help with that?" I offered as I watched Flitwick levitating ornaments onto the trees.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw6XRh7sq2

Harry coughed into his hands something that sounded strangely like, "teachers pet," and I gave him a stern look that could rival Minnie's. he hugged me and whispered, "I'm just teasing you, Kat. It's how you know I love ya," he said smirking as I rolled my eyes at him using my own words against me. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooKOIpVrcM

I went back to my room and changed into new clothes after helping Flitwick out, then made my way to the Gryffindor common room to get the boys. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftnakzKAxp

We walked down to the feast arm in arm and sat down at the deserted table. Me, Harry, and the Weasley's had been the only ones to stay. The other three tables looked just as empty; only containing one or two people each. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL4dsJqzqo

"I'll be right back," I murmured to Harry as I got up from the table and made my way over to the 3 Hufflepuff students who had remained for the holidays. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuB7WHzw6W

400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOhQSadLhg
"Yeah! We'd love to! Thanks for asking - to be honest (really wanted to just put tbh😂) we were feeling kind of lonely with everyone gone," one of the girls piped up as they got up and made their way over to our table.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYbKlOt3Vq

I then made my way over to the two Ravenclaws who said they would be delighted to join us. Then I steeled myself and walked over to the single kid at the Slytherin table. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTpc0UEqpt
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DrlnQjPtj
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGSoLRg5FS
"H-hi! Are you really the only Slytherin who stayed?" I said nervously, not sure how he'd react to me talking to him. Slytherin's were not known for their kindness.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCV6HaDu6W
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3wXpRdM6v

400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQyvrc6ROj
"But what if they don't want me there, the other houses don't exactly get along with Slytherins..." he hung his head.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmX6i0wGoD

400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsVv88yxOF
"It's Christmas, no one should be on their own, I'm sure they won't mind if you joined us," I said giving him my biggest smile. He slowly got up and made his way over. I grinned as I saw the others greet him and scootch over to make room for him.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j4Zd5E798

"Well...you see...I was just wondering if you and the other Professors would like to join us at our table? I know it sounds strange but it IS Christmas and there's hardly anyone here..." I broke off feeling my stupid shyness overpower me as I looked down at my hands that were fumbling with my robes.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1pCmw23JF

400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sEbjfr2Mn
"What a wonderful idea, Katrina, dear - and might I add, a great way to start rebuilding school unity." I looked up into Dumbledore's blue eyes and saw them twinkling with a conspiratorial gleam. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGahVW32rL

The feast that night was amazing and my stomach was well and truly stuffed full by the end. I said good night to the other students and teachers as Harry, Ron, and I made our way back to my room.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS2y9v3Ytf
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIGRj2jGbZ
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpXCDN6xPD
"Uh-oh," I heard Ron say as he looked back at us. Harry and I had lagged behind due to the weight of our full stomachs. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOLd6Cv1GA
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYpULRHV9p

For an answer, Ron just glanced up at the ceiling above our heads. Mistletoe.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EWWMMR2N7

My face turned red as I turned to face Harry. Before I could lose the nerve, I leaned forward and kissed his cheek. Next thing I knew, he'd kissed mine back. My face was on fire as we continued down the hall. I slyly looked over at him to see his face was red too.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoMVSE23Lh

I felt my face turn red as Ron pointed up to the mistletoe. I was both excited and nervous. Was I supposed to kiss her? Or would she see that as weird and have expected me to ignore it? Before I could think of what to do, she had leaned over and I felt her lips brush against my cheek. I blushed and quickly returned the action.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1a4IlqAjg

The rest of the walk back to her room was a haze as I dreamily reflected on what had just happened. When I glanced over at Ron it was to see him smirking at me with a knowing look in his eyes.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByjJRiyUWs

We said goodnight to Kat and the two of us walked back to our dormitory. The minute her door closed I felt my lips turn up and my walk lighten. I know I probably looked goofy but I was on cloud nine. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBdBuocyJm

I went to sleep that night with a warm belly and dreams of Kat's soft lips on my cheek. (I'd go further with it but they are only 11 so...)
