"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."305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XBaDE335K

"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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39UejTpNPR

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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw6BpmFBlh

"Hey, Hagrid, want any help?" I asked, sticking my head through the branches.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSZhxJbFo1

"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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11WkXBISWe

"She was provoked, Professor Snape," said Hagrid, sticking his huge hairy face out from behind the tree. "Malfoy was insulting' her,"305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqiuZYvcjF

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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR4HMtwJhS
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB1ijWeTSu

"Phewww...I can't believe he didn't give you detention as well!" Exclaimed Ron. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6ll9tJB0y

"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."305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2hYzuv4T5

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). 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64JErfmkGU

"Professor Flitwick, would you like some help with that?" I offered as I watched Flitwick levitating ornaments onto the trees.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCpnN74u9E

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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpJ4eow5RF

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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILFdugp08M

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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCsU3QiGmD

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEciPx6KAtH
"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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW7S4E8vRe

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Z0PyZizK
"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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59x304WjyQ

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70q5SAva4i
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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFthqR6Bq9r
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXonQxBAdkS
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHzQX097Qi
"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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxLwvwseGw
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGDOqeie6w

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClQLBuaUwe
"But what if they don't want me there, the other houses don't exactly get along with Slytherins..." he hung his head.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoBPECLm2c

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4mfdUjTkW
"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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz99yAqRKR
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ0jQFWvOw
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpzFODGVKC

"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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zlOUONLq3

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHtRFpqqX7
"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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8sxTOp2wb

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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanl35Z0Muz
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw5ivd7de0
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMNZzqqCjW
"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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB162jLSn0
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZG8jJtz90
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArsTZCKq19

For an answer, Ron just glanced up at the ceiling above our heads. Mistletoe.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMLvxAKZyd

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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNgMr7Hs2i

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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmcIjJz7P3
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBvg6yAKwr
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtfypEd1hD
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSWlQYHsYn

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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM99PIDAorV

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...)
