you make me laugh, you make me cry

katrina had agreed to meet christopher at the three broomsticks that afternoon, since they had both just had a DADA class and had to write a 1 and a half foot long roll of parchment on something that kat couldn't quite remember... one, being that she was sitting in a very crowded and loud pub that made her want to forget about learning entirely, and she was exhausted. she ran her fingers through her auburn locks and blinked her violet eyes a few times before finally taking a sip of the hot beverage in front of her.

she coughed and leaned back in her chair, which creaked under her weight. she was a slender girl, sixteen and was quite a happy gryffindor for that matter. she was, however, battling something in her mind. she wasn't sure whether or not to believe it, but the words of her mother had been running through her mind a few bagillion times... look out for yourself, kat. he might be coming. and since then, kat had been quite jumpy. and wasn't that a great way to start off the new school year?

kat shook her head, frustrated before she finally closed her eyes, leaned her head back and took calm, soothing breaths.

occ; mom wants me off for a while... :P be on soon though!!

Homework, typically he hated it, but now, he actually didn't mind it, at all, mostly because he passed it on to Katrina, the girl took it without any fuss, listerally. It was an essay or whatever on werewolves and their transformation and such. For once Christopher actually remembered this, mainly because Katrina seemed out of focus lately, like her whole head wasn't quite there. Christopher knew that he didn't have that kind of an impact on a person, though Kat wasn't the quiet, shy, and innocent girl anymore, he took full responsibility for that needless to say.

Heading to the Three Broomsticks Christopher opened the door, he was immediatly greated by noise. Mostly of glasses clicking together and old men telling their heroic stories of when they were young. This made Christopher chuckle, it was always interesting to hear what they made up to think that they were so great. Standing on his toes Christopher tried to look over the other people's heads, cursing his height right now. He only stood five foot eight inches in height, which was short, especially now. Groaning he stuffed his hands in his pockets, wandering around aimlessly looking for that certain girl.

Spotting her about 2 minutes later he saw that she was relaxed, eyes closed, that was just great. A grin spread across Chris's face as he walked over to her, sneaking behind her chair quietly he grabbed ahold of her shoulders and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Yes, this was a usual thing for Chris, no, he wasn't exactly gay but absolutley loved teasing Kat, even if she was going out with somebody.

ooc;; yeah, i have to eat dinner soo also

katrina adjusted her seating in the uncomfortable wooden chair, sometimes cursing the wizarding world to be so outdated. she was so tempted to pull out her wand and just cast some random cushioning spell to make sitting here waiting for her little student to come over to her. she covered her eyes with her hands and felt a little heat coming over her in the crowded room. she heard the witches behind her chatting about the latest issue of witch weekly and laughed softly. she had to admit, listening to them going on about the latest winner of that stupid smile award was beyond her. apparently, the winner was one William Tucker or something. whoever it was, katrina was too cheerful to remember, especially if it was someone important.

it was only when she was sort of drifting into a doze did she feel something soft against her cheek and smiled slightly, imagining her boyfriend coming round to wake her up in the common room. but when she opened her eyes, the noise and chatter of the three broomsticks returned and she groaned, trying to sit up with her cramped neck and saw christopher. she let out a small gasp of shock and quickly blushed scarlet before smirking. "well, at least someone decided to show up." she said sarcastically, smiling slightly. she was used to him being only somewhat late, that was why she came early: so she could have time by herself. "well, then." she said, exhaling and shaking her bangs out of her eyes and opening her book, "i think we were supposed to write the paper on mountain giants..." she said flipping through the book, going back a few pages before shaking her head and moving forward.

When Christopher saw Katrina blushing he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, but then he saw her usual smirk spread across her face "You know I'm never on time for anything, thats why the teachers ignore me so much" he said with a smile, he wouldn't call it special treatment, no, but it was sixth year, the teachers expected it. Though he often caught sneers from students saying that he was such a privlidged boy, when really he was used to it, not having special rights, but...well it was sort of confusing, even for him.

Watching her open her book Christopher pulled a chair beside her and took a seat, shaking his head at her as she said what she thought they were to write about "No, its about the transformation of werewolves and such" he said with a nod, pulling her book towards him and flipping through the pages, and finding where it was, looking to Katrina with a grin plastered on his face, he usually never proved Katrina wrong in anything except for music and quidditch, that was the only two things, course there really wasn't anything else, and Chris was a bit...well stuipid when it came to the muggle world.

"Why did we have to do this here, I mean I've snuck into the common room befor- oh, your boyfriend still pissy?" Christopher asked, worry in hi voice. He didn't know for a fact that Kat's guy was mad, but just figured, people didn't get how they acted around eachother.

kat made a face and wrinkled her nose before shooting him one of those obviously looks that she seemed to be giving him more and more often. "i have a feeling teachers aren't too fond of students who arrive late to almost every lesson." she said with a half eye roll, skimming some of the pages. her eyes darted from side to side on paragraphs that were mildly interesting and then flitted quickly down the page on others. she could loose herself in reading anything. even if it was the most boring biography in the history of biography's, then she'd read it anyway because she knew how to make things interesting in her mind. and there was a reason she was helping christopher with his work, and that was because he somehow got bored during most of their classes.

kat shot him a blank stare before letting him take over with the page turning. "fine, but just so you know, it'd be better if we did mountain giants. especially since i thought we learned about werewolves in our third year." she said, mirroring his grin and placing her elbows on the table and leaned her head in her hands. she scanned the page, just giving herself a quick overview of the topic in question and finally sighed and then glanced up at christopher. "what's the name of the potion that, when taken at the full moon but before the transformation, will keep the drinker sane after they've transformed?" she asked him, arching her brow as she awaited his response.

katrina sighed and glanced down. she didn't like discussing that. not with other people. even paige and chris weren't acceptions with that. she hadn't seen zoltin in a while, but she didn't really mind it all that much. less mood swings, she guessed. "it's not that, really. i'm just not sure at the moment." she said, smiling slightly. truth was, her mind was elsewhere and it hadn't crossed her mind in a while, lately.

Christopher shook his head "No, see I'm one of their perfect students, they say that I have comparable work to Katrina Oh Neil, whoever the fuck that is" A grin spread across his face as he put an arm around her neck and gave her a nugie. Seeing that she was zoned out on the books text for a brief moment he leaned back in his chair, only balancing on two legs.

The boy shook his head, making his brown hair fall slightly into his eyes "Yeah but our teacher doesn't know that, hes a fag" Christopher said with a nod, leaning forward in his chair, which landed in a thump when both legs hit the concrete floor. When Katrina asked a question Christopher let out a slow groan, putting his head on the table trying to think. Immediatly he snapped his fingers "Wolfsbane or whatever right?" he asked, giving Katrina a slight pout, one that really she couldn't escape no matter how hard she tried.

"You've been out of it lately Kat, what is going on?" Christopher asked gulping, usually the girl told him what exactly was happening and such, this time it didn't seem like it.

ooc;; slight block

kat cocked her head at him, giving him one of those looks that made some people wonder who, exactly, was the boss of one or the other. but kat knew it didn't faze him at all. it fazed everyone else but him, actually, which kind of bothered her, but it wasn't like she would say anything about it. "i have no idea who she is. who's ever heard of a katrina oh neil anyway?" she asked him, leaning on her elbows, giving him a pointed look as she brushed away some curls. "sounds like a complete geek to me." she shot him a grin.

kat rolled her eyes. oooof course. most guys resulted to insults instead of facing the facts. whatever it was, kat didn't exactly listen to it that time. she was glancing back at the page of the book, waiting for his answer, still. finally, he said it and kat smirked, "good job!" she said like she was talking to a little boy. "want a butterbeer? they're still good." she said, waving over the landlady. the daughter of a madam rosmerta, who's portrait hung above the bar at the back of the pub, named elizabeth caught kat's eye and began to make her way over. kat smirked at chris, waiting for him to order as she considered the next question.

kat shook her head, "nothing's wrong. i'm fine, actually. honest." she said, clearing her throat.

[christopher montgomery]

Christopher shrugged, a grin spread across his face as he shrugged "I dunno, some chick that hangs with that awesome hufflepuff named Christopher Montgomery" he said with a dreamy sigh at the end, kidding of course. No, he wasn't that concieted with himself, actually on a usual day he hated himself, but hey, it was normal for him, wasn't it normal for everybody. "yeah, sounds like she is" He nodded, replying to the whole 'sounds like a geek to me' think that Katrina had just said. This was all fun and games, actually this was their usual conversation.

"Yes" Christopher said, tossing his hands up in the air enthusiasticly, seeing that Katrina was waving the waitress down. Christopher raised an eyebrow as he saw Kat's smirk "Shit" he said, resting his elbow on the table, and propping his head up with his hand. Thats what he was in when he actually answered one of Katrina's questions right, actually thats what he got for having her as a 'homework doer' or whatever. Katrina always quizzed him, in or out of classes, mainly because she couldn't take his N.E.W.T.S for him, though he wished that she could so badly.

The boy's eyebrow twitched up again "Your not being honest Katrina, I know you" Christopher said with a nod, he couldn't see past Katrina like she could for him, course it was hard to figure out girls, much worse than figuring out guys, though Christopher was a little...lets say different, no, that would be an understatement.

katrina laughed and tucked some hair behind her ear, amused. christopher was actually quite funny, though some people didn't really think so. kat always did. he knew how to list her spirits when she was down and all that. she grinned and shrugged, "strange, i thought you were too good for gryffindors." she said, smirking. kat ran her fingers down one of the pages, still trying to find another question to ask him. at last, she found one, but she was too busy listening to her stupid brain going on and on about how she should just tell someone.

"alright. name one characteristic that defines a werewolf from a regular wolf." kat asked him cheerfully, but not before shooting him a look that told him to try not to interfere with the rest of her personnel life, because she wasn't all that into giving stuff like that away to people. even to paige and tallia and all those people. kat was all for keeping some things secret and some things not so secret. however, this one thing was going to be kept to herself.

"i'm fine. i swear." she said, tossing the subject away and waiting patiently for christopher to answer her question. there were three possible answers, but kat was just going to see if he was going to get one. she had to boost up his confidence, especially since she had refused point blank (a few times) that she wasn't going to write his NEWTS for him.
