(surely)
"Yeah" I said cutting a peice of egg, "I dont think Draco's too keen on the three broomsticks anyway..." Just then Draco sat down. "Speak of the devil." I mumbled and Melina grinned. "The three broomsticks? Why'd anyone want to go into that rutty place?" He said piling food onto his dish. "They wouldnt." I said quickly, cutting my egg a bit more aggressively.

I smirked at Kat, glad to know I wouldn't have to lie to Draco about going there. "So, Draco. You wanna go somewhere with me today? Kat has some...stuff to do." I said. "Sure." My face lit up imediately. "What sorta stuff?" He asked Kat, a mouthful of food. She chuckled at him. "Just some...shopping." "Why doesnt she go with you?" He asked, gesturing to me. "Cause...I dont wanna. I wanted to hang out with you today." I said and he merely shrugged it off before contiuing eating.

"I want to hang out with you ALL alone" I mouthed dramatically mocking her. Melina hit me on the arm and rolled her eyes. I simply laughed. Draco looked up and I smiled at him quickly. He looked back down and stuffed a peice of sausage into his mouth. "So gullable" I mouthed for a second time. She nodded and downed her juice. An hour later we left the great hall and left to go outside. I had brought my homework from history of magic to do in the grass as we waited for Filch to gather everyone up. We passed by Umbridge who smiled her toad like smile at us and I smiled sarcastically. "Mind your manners, or It will be a detention for you, miss katherine." She said in her girly voice. When her back was turned I made a face and kept walking.

I held in a laugh until we were far enough away from her then we both busted up laughing. "Damn, I hate that woman." I said. Kat nodded. "Miss Katherine? Who the hell calls me that?" "Her I guess." I answered and she glared at me. "Yeah, real funny." She said, annoyed.

As it was coming up to nine o'clock. Me, Melina, and Draco (Crabbe and Goyle were still in the Great Hall stuffing their fat faces) made our way to the court yard where filtch was checking off peoples name to go on the trip. We walked up and I just overheard him tell some Ravenclaw girl that she couldnt go because her signature was a forgery. Yet she insisted it wasnt. He sneered and erased her name from the list. "It probably wasnt." I whispered to Melina. She nodded in agreement, and got up to him in line. "Good morning" I said brightly to Filtch. He looked up at me and scowled, placing a check next to my name harshy and yelled, "NEXT!"

I walked after Kat and chuckled. "He knows you too well. And me. He didnt even look up as he checked me off, just did. Is it sad or strange that he knows the two of us would be going on together?" Kat chuckled. "Both." she said, linking arms with me. When we got into town, Kat went one way and me and Draco went the other. "So, Draco? What do you wanna do?"
(get kat into the pub and i'll be ron.)

I walked down the street towards the direction of the three broom sticks. I turned around too see Melina and Draco walking away, I was alone and shivered in my shoes. I stood in front of the pub and took a deep breath. He'd be in there waiting for me....I opened the door to a crowded pub, nothing like the hogs head, and started to look for his red hair. But when I spotted it, a also saw raggy black hair, and bushy brown hair. My heart sank...It wasnt a date! He just wanted to hang out..as friends. Dammit, i've been so stupid. I thought this and decided I didnt want to be here. I turned to leave but stopped as my name was called through the crowd.
--------------------------
"I dont know...what to go to the hogs head?" I suggested not really knowing what to do. It was a bit strange walking around Hogsmeade alone with Melina...but it was--nice.

"Hey Kat!" I called, seeing Kat turn to leave the pub. She stopped and turned back around, walking over slowly. "Hi." She said, quietly and I noticed her glance at Harry and Hermione. Oh bollocks, she didn't know they would be here. I knew I should have said something. Now she's gonna hate me. I thought and stood up. "Hey, I'm gonna...go get the drinks.." I said and Hermione looked at me oddly. "But the waitress.." "I dont care. Kat, come with me." I said and pulled Kat with me to the bar. "You thought this was...something else...didnt you?" I asked, getting straight to the point.
---------------
"Erm...sure. The hogshead...that works." I said, a little uneasy. I knew it would be a bad idea to go with him, alone. It was akward being just the two of us. "Lets go." He said and started walking. I followed slowly and tried to think of something to say.

"What would I think it was?" I asked pretending to be surprised. "You thought this was a da-" The bartender interrupted, "What can I get you?" Ron sighed, "Two butterbeers." He turned back to me," You thought this wa--" "four sickles." The bartender interupted again holding out their hand. Ron grinded his teeth together and stuck his hand in his pocket. His expression quickly turned pale and embarrissed. He searched wildly on his person to find money. I took out four sickles and handed them to the bartender. "Thanks" He muttered not looking at me.
----------------------------------
It was really strange walking down the street with Melina. Maybe when we got into the hogshead it would be better. It wasnt. We sat in silence sipping our drinks. It was nearly 10 minutes before anybody said anything...it was all I could think of. "So, what is Kat going to do." "Dont know." She said simply. I thought hard trying to think of something else. "My father said Umbridge plans to take over Hogwarts" I blurted out mindlessly.

I chuckled. "Draco, are you ok?" I asked. "Y-yes, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" He said, taking a sip of his drink. 'Uhmm...because, your not talking and when you do you blurt out pointless things." He pulled a face and looked into his mug. I rolled my eyes. "Come on, we'll go for a walk." I said, finishing my drink and grabbing his hand to leave. Maybe we could try the Shrieking Shack. He loves hanging out there with Crabbe and Goyle.
----------------
"No problem." I looked up and saw her hiding a smirk. "You thought this was a date didnt you?" I blurted out and watched as her face dropped and went pale. She avoided my gaze. "No. Why would I?" She said. "Kat." I said sternly. "Come on, it's written all over your face."

"I do not." I argued, still not looking at him. "Than why are you turning blue?" He asked quietly picking up the butterbeers. "ok...so maybe i did think it was a type of date. But thats only because you made it sound like one." I said deffencivly. "No I didnt" He handed me a butterbeer. "Well, you didnt say they'd be coming." I said tossing my hand in the direction of Harry and Hermionie. I felt like such an idiot...and now I was getting frustrated about it.
--------------------------------
I noticed Melina walking in the direction of the Shreiking Shack. I also noticed we were still holding hands and we had gone all the way through Hogsmeade like that. I found I was a bit reluctant to let go, but if anybody saw... "Good choice" I said gently pulling my arm away.

I smiled at him, noticing he was just as nervous as I was. We got up to the fence and I stopped, staring up at the shack. "You ever come here?" He asked. "No, never had a reason to. Didn't exactly interest me much." I answered. "Oh, well...first time for everything I guess." He said, standing beside me.
-------------------
"Well, I never said or mentioned..." I sighed. "You're right. I should have said they would be here. Wanna sit somewhere else?" I asked, trying to make her feel comfertable, even if I wasn't. "Uhmm...sure...I guess." She said and walked over to a table in the corner.

We sat down opposite of each other at the table in the corner. I felt like I just wanted to shrink into the shadows and become nothing. We sat in pure, awkward silence for a few minutes, and I would have wanted to be anywhere else but here. I looked over and Harry and Hermionie were giving Ron quetioning looks. He shrugged and I turned away. "You know..." I took a deep breathe. " I think they want you to go back over there. I have to go anyway." I said smiling.
------------------------------
"Yeah, I s'pose there is huh." She said and I smiled at her. I was surprised this wasnt as weird as I thought it would be. We walked into the shreiking shack. She looked a bit, should I say, scared, and I grinned. "Dont worry, its not gonna fall." "Sure?" "Positive. C'mon," I said putting my hand on the small of her back and pushing her in.

I could honestly say I didn't like the shrieking shack. It creaked with every step and every floorboard practically screamed "im gonna fall!" I could even feel a couple crack under my feet. I took a deep breath and continued walking. One of the floorboards creaked and snapped in two when i stepped on it and I gripped Draco's arm tightly before walking again. "Melina, are you....scared by any chance?" Draco asked jokingly and I hit his arm. "Shut up. I dont like old houses. At least...not THIS old." She said, looking around.
-----------------------
"N-No. I said I was gonna hang out with you. Un-Unless you...dont wanna. I understand." I said, looking disappointed at the table. I had hoped to spend time with her and get to know her but I realized that was a bad idea. We were complete opposites and she probably didnt even want to be here. That Melina girl probably talked her into it.

"I know what you said. If I didn't want to come i wouldn't be here. I did. It's just... well- it's not YOU Ron- its--" "--My friends" Ron finished for me. That was the truth and I couldn't lie around it. He knew. "Yeah." I muttered.
----------
"Don't be such a baby, Melina" I teased pushing her deeper into the house, but towards me at the same time. "I am not being a baby" "Then why are you grasping my coat sleeve?" I asked chuckling. But the truth was i didn't mind.
