"Not fair..." Breathlessly, a young girl of fifteen stopped her running as she placed her hands on her knees, eyes closed, and heart racing, she tried to calm herself before she opened her eyes and straightened up, still trying to catch her breath. 'I shouldn't have to run away from my own housemates!' She glared at the ground, but the emotion was false, she couldn't hate them, she knew she was withdrawn and quiet, even by Ravenclaw standards.

"Kagome!"

A laugh from behind drew blue crystallite like eyes. A beautiful girl was walking up to her. She didn't particularly like her, but she didn't dislike her either. She talked with her, well, teased her was more like it, and badly too. Kagome knew better than to run from her, though. She had her friends chase her down, and why? Just so she could throw some hurtful words at her, but that was better than what some of the other Ravenclaw's did. She would prefer being demoralized rather than damaged on a more physical level.

"Cho..." Kagome said carefully. She didn't understand why this girl, who was usually easygoing and friendly, was always causing her problems. It was she who told the others in Ravenclaw to mess with her, and no one would argue with the Ravenclaw Princess. There was a thought; all the houses had their royalty. Though there wasn't enough room really for two in one house. Ravenclaw's Cho Chang, Hufflepuff's Cedric Digory, Gryffindor's Hermione Granger, and Slytherin's Draco Malfoy. Two Princes and two Princesses. Just like the founders. She smiled at her wayward thoughts before the sound of someone clearing her throat pulled her from said thoughts.

"Aren't you going to ask me how my day is?" She smiled brightly.

Wondering if she was, perhaps, in a good mood and not set on tormenting her, Kagome gave a small smile and asked, "How is your day?"

"Wonderful, I got to talk with one of the cutest guys in school, and that makes me happy..."

Kagome looked past Cho and frowned, a few of the other girls had caught up with Cho. Glancing around, she realized there weren't many people that would try to intervene if they decided to mess with her. Would they even spare her a look? The Ravenclaw crests didn't reassure her.

"Tell me, Kagome," Cho continued, "do you have a crush on anyone?"

Kagome frowned, if she thought about it, no, she didn't. Surely that didn't matter, did it?

"Haha, you don't do you! Sorry, I forgot you don't have time to be a girl."

"Such a loser..."

"Complete mishap! She belongs in Hufflepuff!"

"Even they wouldn't want her,"

The three girls behind Cho laughed, but Cho didn't, she smiled. Looking at Kagome, as if daring her to deny the claim.

She wasn't sure what exactly had caused her to speak out. She should have just turned and walked off. She should have just left it as it was; she should have, so why didn't she? "That isn't true!" Her voice carried, louder than she'd meant for it to be, and it drew in some curious looks.

"Oh, then why not prove it?" One of the girls said from behind Cho.

"Yeah, go kiss the guy you're crushing on,"

"Unless you don't have a crush..."

The three girls laughed again, and this time, Cho joined in. It was too much for Kagome, she turned, she took the hand of a guy, or so she hoped it was a guy. Her mind was utterly fogged. Kagome had always believed that she shouldn't let her emotions cloud her thoughts, and she had done just that. She leaned forward, and against her better judgment, she pressed her lips gently but fervently to another's. It lasted a few moments, and then she broke it, turned, and looked at Cho. The girl who had always brought her such trouble had finally come to a loss of words. Staring shocked, gaping at what Kagome had just done.

Kagome turned and left for the Great Hall, thankful that the happenings that had just taken place had done so right outside the large doors. She wasn't even aware of the eyes that were following her, wide with shock and stuck in a daze.

X-x-X

Blaise smirked as he walked beside his best mate, Draco Malfoy. Heading towards the great hall, the two were taking their time since they both had free time after lunch.

"Anything planned during break?" Blaise asked, blue eyes shining with mischief. He liked messing with the Gryffs, usually during his break, but sometimes he did school work or just relaxed. Though messing with the lions was one of his favorite pass times. They were just so easy to rile up.

Draco smirked, " the usual, though we should probably finish Snape's potions essay too. Which shouldn't take too long."

"Draco, my friend," Blaise grinned, putting an arm around his shoulders as they made their way down the last hallway towards the Great Hall, "you know just what to―!" As he'd been about to say more, someone pulled roughly on his hand.

His arm left Draco's shoulder as he turned to see who was pulling his hand, the next thing he felt was soft lips on his own, and long hair gently brushing against his cheek. The kiss didn't last very long, but as the girl pulled back, blue locked on with blue before the girl moved away.

Blaise blinked as he watched the raven-haired girl turn and run away. Slowly turning to Draco, who shared a similar look of surprise on his face, "Hey...Draco...do you know who that was?" There were few people in Hogwarts that Draco didn't know, so asking him was a no brainer. He could always count on Draco when it came to information on someone.

"No,"

"Great―wait, what? You don't?"

Draco shook his head, "I've never noticed her before now." His grey eyes narrowing. He usually kept tabs on those who shared an influential background or those who he enjoyed causing trouble. True, he knew most of the students in some way. However, his reservoir wasn't so randomly compiled of names. "She's no aristocrat, and I can say confidently that her family isn't among those with connections or a history. So, she's most likely a muggle-born or half-blood."

"Did you see that?"

Draco looked to his left, a couple of girls from mixed houses were talking in a group.

"She's brave. Isn't that the guy Cho likes?"

Listening, he let himself pick up anything his ears deemed useful. Storing it away for later as he and a still shocked Blaise walked by the Ravenclaw table to the Slytherin table.

"She's going to get it later for that little stunt."

"If she had a backbone, Cho might not use her as a stress reliever."

"It's sad; really, she's so pathetic. Kagome never does anything right!"

That was it! That was what he was waiting for; bloody hell, it had taken the girls long enough to say something useful! "You know, Chang?"

"Yeah, what about her?"

"She's got a score to settle with the girl who kissed you. The problem is that the girl kissed you at all."

"What the hell does it matter to Chang, it was me who was kissed, not her."

"Kagome, that's the name of the girl who kissed you. She's a Ravenclaw like Chang, who has a thing for you as well."

"Wait, you said you didn't know the girl. How did you figure out her name already?" Blaise, though observant, wasn't the type to listen in on gossip like his friend was. It always baffled him how Draco could know nothing about something one second, and everything about something the next. He grabbed his book bag and pulled out his homework, hoping to get it started before the end of their break; sadly, his eyes were blinded by blue. It was all he could see, those gorgeous blue eyes. He closed his eyes and let his head fall forward, forehead, meet table.

Draco stared at his friend with a short sneer in place as he shook his head and scoffed under his breath, "pull yourself together, Blaise; it was just a girl,"

"Yeah, you're right. It was just a girl, with beautiful electric blue eyes and soft lips, and―I don't even know her!"

Draco laughed, "To answer your earlier question, I know what I do about her because, unlike you, I listen."

Blaise dropped his quill next to his potions assignment, "since when has Chang liked me?"

"Who knows, but what does that matter? She's peeved over this Kagome girl's kiss. What are you going to do about it?" Draco placed the tip of his quill in a jar of 'raven's wing' black ink before he started on his twelve-inch essay on bloodroot for potions.

"What am I...what?"

"You heard me, you imp!" Draco laughed, "You're acting like a bloody Hufflepuff, what are you going to do about it?!"

"What am I supposed to do about it? I'm a Slytherin!"

Draco smirked, "exactly, you're a Slytherin. What is there to do but sit back and watch?"

"What about the girl?"

Draco eyed his friend, "Not that I think you should be placing all your house-elves on a girl whose name you only just learned a few seconds ago, but if it matters so much, then leave it be. She'll be back. If not, well, it's not like she's in a different country; she's in Hogwarts. We're bound to run into her again sooner or later...right?"

Blaise looked curiously at his friend. Nodding his head as he tried to push the thoughts of soft lips and blue eyes from his mind, if only long enough to finish his Potions Essay.
