"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."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunB1HO7FuK

"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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G7OCXBbYY

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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BRsnI1gom

"Hey, Hagrid, want any help?" I asked, sticking my head through the branches.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldq1tsPiML

"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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX6tVsp4Jt

"She was provoked, Professor Snape," said Hagrid, sticking his huge hairy face out from behind the tree. "Malfoy was insulting' her,"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXjLBJDw5s
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxfpRuzQlC
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk8gkBm0jJ
"Is this true, Malfoy," Snape hissed under his breath as his eyes narrowed.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzRrbHgKej

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaluF7FucW
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7vBx1ewzT
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Til5OrDE
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLOthiBzAL
"Phewww...I can't believe he didn't give you detention as well!" Exclaimed Ron. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaGV0JBk7x

"Shut up, Harry! And don't call me that! I don't want that to become my new nickname!" I groaned as I rubbed my temples in frustration.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxLwNyPi5I
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWYEr1OKJS

"Come on, cheer up, Kat! It's nearly Christmas," said Hagrid. "Tell yeh what, come with me an' see the Great Hall, looks a treat."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDbIR6hlnh

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmX9PRDRWl
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). 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yFmm8SQ6p

"Professor Flitwick, would you like some help with that?" I offered as I watched Flitwick levitating ornaments onto the trees.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2oSgA18Fa
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWC31pQwl6
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM5B29F0tn

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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkJDoeuKgJ

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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwxMcMNLcR

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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4nigxVPw1

"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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyq605fwlI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wt36sVg8A

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvDc9cRaOq
"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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6bRjaFv1i

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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijcLHr4se4
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjbhPGVH07
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq1HTi9rdC
"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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnzzPF9uL6
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVoUHORPZt

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjS6U71fka
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7yBlGrlFP
"But what if they don't want me there, the other houses don't exactly get along with Slytherins..." he hung his head.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVRG3uBqQH

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ19UPJ2YV
"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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp0prcmbKA
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO2DO27DE9

"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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrENG9UhiG
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJFVaipbEN
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2gdJCN0US
"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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9Z8yPILmE

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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4XiFQoieR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kInccuiwW
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMV3Ue6NZJ
"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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyX9COrbYf
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaAGeLGyJv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg01XmWlMei

For an answer, Ron just glanced up at the ceiling above our heads. Mistletoe.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciFD9aOiuM

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBQiOzcsGX
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuDOhCOGfS

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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjjU7UiUVf
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzJ0RPRn2B
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lrYwOUmmT
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs9RSntIzK

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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R5idLYgNg

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...)
