I still wasnt listening. I was too busy giving umbridge warts. Melina suddenly jabbed me in the ribs. I rolled my eyes. I wasnt a wonderful student, but i always swear i try...hard. "What are we doing?" "Racoons to lamps." "Great!" I said rubbing my hands together. She grinned. "You didnt pay attention during that chapter last year did you." "Not at all." I said my hands dropping to my lap. It was the beginning of the year; only about two weeks in, so we were still reviewing last years material.

I snickered and rolled my eyes. "Just do this..." I said and showed her how. "Next time, pay attention." She grinned. "But it's so boring." "I dont care. Im not always gonna be able to show you."

"Yes you will." I said batting my eyes and grinning widely. "Just do yer lamp." I spent the rest of the class turning my raccoon into a lamp then back to a raccoon then back to a lamp, then maybe a piece of chicken to torment Crabbe, then back to a raccoon and make it scurry away just when he was about to take a bite. Finally class was over and we headed for lunch. Ate. Yumm...
(how many classes do they have a day, four i think?)

(i dont remember. we can just SAY it's four a day. they gots a confusing schedule...) After we ate, we walked slowly outside to start our class with Hagrid, the half giant. (i forgot the name of the class...) I sighed, noticing Kat looking over at Ron. "Just go talk to him." I said, shoving her with my elbow. "No, I don't know what I'd-" "What are you two fighting about?" Draco asked and we shrugged. "Nothing." I answered and he looked at me funny. "Ermm...oookkay..." He said, not believing us.

(im pretty sure its "care of magical creatures" im going to write the schedule down so we dont mix up all the classes that would be stupid. i think this works, if you wanna stick with it. we'll just come back here for referance. its a diff. color so it stands out) day 1: potions - snape (with gryfindor) transfiguration - McGonagall (without gryfindor) lunch care of magical creatures - hagrid (with gryfindor) charms - flitwick (without gryfindor) Day 2: history of magic - binns (without gryfindor) defence against the dark arts - umbridge (with gryfindor) lunch divination - trelawney (with gryfindor) herbology - sprout (without gryfindor)

Hagrid stood facing the class describing what we would be doing today, but all I could think about was anything other than school. Mainly my morning in potions with Ron. It had been running through my mind all day. Class was almost over and I had said nothing to Ron or Harry... or anybody the whole time. I was beginning to think nothing would ever happen between me and Ron, when suddenly as we all walked back up to the castle after class, I heard i felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around to see Ron looking timid, "Can I talk to you?" He asked eyeing everyone around us. "Alone." He added. I felt my stomach drop and turn like I had been flying for far too long. I nodded and followed him over to the side.

(ok. just remember pg. 3.) I watched as Kat and Ron walked a little ways away from the group. I looked at my pocket watch then turned to them. "I'll meet you in charms kat!" I yelled to her. She looked back and nodded. I could see the nervousness that covered her face and I gave her a small comferting smile. "What's that all about?" Draco questioned. "Oh, nothing. Let's go." I said and pulled him by the arm to our next class.

I watched Melina and Draco leave, and stared for a while. "Kat?" Ron asked suddenly. I snapped out of it and turned back to him, twirling my thumbs together. "So... first trip to Hogsmede is this weekend." He said as if this were a normal thing we did. I nodded smiling awkwardly. What was he saying?...........OH! "I was wondering if you wanted to maybe meet up somewhere? Maybe get a butterbeer or something?" He asked and I had to hold back a grin. My heart leaped. He just asked me on a date??!! I looked down at my pocket watch..the bell was about to ring. "S-sure." I said quickly. "Ill meet you at the hogshead?" I asked. "How bout the three broomsticks?" I nodded smiling. "Yeah. Well I have to go.. all the way to charms." I said and trotted away, wearing a wide grin on my face.

"What he say?" I asked quietly as Kat snuck in, two minutes late. "He asked me out! On a date!" She said in a hushed voice. My eyes went wide. "NO!" I said, shocked. I got a good portion of attention from the class for that. "Sorry..." I mummbled.

There was no way I was paying attention in charms. I couldn't wait for this weekend! Luckily it was already thurseday. After the most boring class and longest class of my life, Melina and I headed back the the dungens to put our books away and relax a bit before dinner. I sat on my four post best stroking my cat, Thatcher, and talking to Melina. "So, how are things going between you and Draco?" I asked her. She shrugged. "Nothing. Did you expect something?" "Yeah!" I said grinning, "I cant be the only one with boy drama, here." She shrugged again. "Oh stop that. Im gonna make somethin happen or you will." I paused. "Ill be with Ron this weekend at Hogsmede, so you and Draco will be alone... maybe something will happen?" I said trying to enlighten the situation for her.

I sighed. "Kat, I seriously doubt it. Me and Draco...never gonna happen." I said and got out a little snack for her cat. "But...why?" "Because....He doesn't know I like him and I don't plan on telling him." I explained. "If you don't...I will." She said, using my threat. "And, If you do, I will be severely mad at you and you won't hear from me for at least a week...maybe longer." I said, crossing my arms stubbornly and trying not to smile. "Yeah, as if you can stop talking to ME. You'd crack." I sighed. "You're right...I would." We both started laughing and went down to eat. (well, technically up to eat since we're in the dungens.)

On our way down we met up with Draco as always who was being followed by his worthless minions, Crabbe and Goyle, as always. We headed down and took a seat. I looked up at the staff table and snickered at Umbridge remembering my doodle of her. God, i hated that woman. She looked over in our direction making eye contact with me and i sneered sarcastically. Draco on the other hand drew himself up to full height and grinned in her direction. Melina and i exchanged looks. "Why do you suck up to her so much?" I asked making a face. Melina chuckled. Draco grinded his teeth together. "You know how much power she has... father always taught me to be the right hand of power." "Yeah and what about Dumbldore?" I didnt fancy him too much either, but the truth of the matter was, he was headmaster and he had more power. "You havnt noticed she gets more powerful the longer shes here?" He explained. "Look, you two would be smart to stick with my ideas."

I rolled my eyes. "Sorry, I will NEVER suck up to that woman or give her the satisfaction of knowing that she has gotten me to fear her and her power." I said and began eating. Draco gave me a look and I smiled at him. "Fine. But I'm gonna laugh when you two get expelled." He said. "No you won't. You're gonna cry 'cause that means you lost your two best "girl" friends." I said grinned and his face dropped. He looked away and started eating as well. "Nice..." Kat said with a grin.

We spent the rest of the time chatting, gossiping, and whatnot for the rest of dinner. Well , mosltly me and Melina; Draco was till a bit sour for the joke we pulled. Get over it. After tomorrow would be our first years trip to Hosmeade. I didnt like The Three Broomsticks much, but i'd go, for a date with Ron...the thought made my skin crawl with excitement and fear. After dinner we headed back up to our commonroom and I whispered to Melina, "You wanna help me pick out something to wear for sat?" I asked. Something i normally wouldnt do, since im not all into fashion and really caring what i look like too much. She gave me a look that said "WTF" than reconsidered and nodded. I smiled in thanks and we entered the common room. Draco wouldnt talk to us. I rolled my eyes and jerked my head in his direction, "He's more emotional than both of us put together."

"Aye he is. I'll talk to him later." I said and went upstairs with Kat. We practically tore her and my luggage apart trying to find something for her. Thankfully, we finally picked something that looked good and fit her perfectly. "What do you think?" I asked, making her stand in front of the full length mirror. She grinned. "Looks great." She said, turning a bit to get a good look of the whole thing. She hugged me. "Thanks Melina." She said and I shrugged. "Tis what I'm here for."

"Not just that, you feed my cat when I forget too." She rolled her eyes and smiled. "Tis true" I smoothed out my tight black and blue shirt to get some of the wrinkles out when the dormatry door suddenly opened. Pansy walked in carrying a book and parchment. I stared into the mirror at her confused expression. I pulled at the side of my shirt. Her expression turned into a smirk. "What- are- you- doing?" she asked trying to supress a laugh. I suddenly didnt feel so good.
