he smiled and nodded, glad that she would be joining him for lunch, feeling only a little upset, but glad that he at least had the guts to tell her how he felt, sighing softly as she touched his face, glad for the soft touch and smiling at her with a small pained smile. “you might think that now...” he murmured softy, setting his hand on hers. “but you will know soon enough I suppose.” he muttered softly, gasping in astonishment at the kiss, gently kissing her back and letting her pull away with a hard swallow, staring after her as she left with Harry, shocked and startled as he nodded. “yeah... see you tomorrow...” tonight, he was going to get very, very drunk. He was so glad he didn't actually have to deal with the students anymore unless they where in trouble, and he got a pay raise too! Not that he really had a need for money.
It was two days of peace before the shit hit the fan again, Blaise rushing into Harry's room with a pale look on his face as he offered her the Paper, the headline being “Harry Potter In The Hands of a Crazy Woman?” written by none other than Rita skeeter. The paper had details of Harry's condition that no one should have had known, so clearly there was a leak of information somewhere. “it gets worse.” Blaise admitted softly pointing to a section of the paper where information of Kat was spread. Hermione was quoted saying “she was in Brightwood, I as able to get her file before they burned it, I can't imagine the mental damage she's suffered, I'm not sure I want her treating Harry...” Draco was claimed to have said. “she's very unstable, she used to stalk me at Hogwarts, she even tied me up for three days before anyone found me! But no one did anything because she was 'special' a load of crap I say, I can't imagine what she's doing to poor harry.” even Blaise. “in all my years working with her, she's scared me a little. I wouldn't have my doubts that she had something to do with all those doctor deaths....” Neville declared. “i will not let rumors dictate how I run my hospital, but I will be looking into the matter. Clearly there is an information leak and I will be running a heavy investigation, on Kat and on the entire hospital to plug this serious breach of protocol.”
Blaise looked at her. “Kat, Draco Hermione and I never even saw a press representative.” he stated simply. “we never said this shit! Someone's trying to frame you and get you fired... and I think we both know who.” he admitted, he himself was thinking it was Charles. “someone's spilling information somehow, but I don't know how anyone could have known about you being in Brightwood AND knowing about Harry's condition so...” he shook his head. “i won't let these lies end your Career Kat... We'll think of something.” he promised setting a hand on her shoulder. “i'm going to be talking to Nev today an i'll inform him that none of us said these things, I promise.”
(poor Kat just can't catch a break XDD)
