Kathy's POV

Yesterday night was my first night back in Hogwarts, and despite only being gone for a couple days, with so much that had happened in my absence it felt like weeks. The only two people I've seen since I got back have been Damon and Maya. Maya and I built a bond last night we didn't have before, and that just made me even more grateful that she's in Jay's life and hopefully will continue to be. I slept over at Maya's last night and when I went to my room to change into my uniform, it was empty again, and I didn't really feel like getting breakfast. Right now, I'm standing in the entryway to the Headmistress' office and making sure everything about my appearance is tidy enough to go see her, since she had told my parents she wanted to see me first thing today. Why? I have no clue.

I get along with Headmistress McGonagall, I mean she's 'Minnie' to me, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be presentable.

Finally, everything looked good enough and my nerves had calmed down enough for me to knock on her door, and I took a small step back when the double doors opened.

"Kathy, hi sweetheart." Headmistress McGonagall opened her arms and I met her in a sweet hug.

She used to babysit me some days when I was little. She's the one who taught me how to turn into a cat, so obviously she holds a very special place in my heart.

"Hi Minnie, how are you?"

"Good, dear. Now, onto business. I want you to meet our new student. I know you probably know about Mr. Weasley transferring on Monday." Do I? I recall something along those lines. "And I know it's really late in the year but this student just transferred from Durmstrang, sort of an exchange of some sort: Mr. Joshua Zabini." She stepped out of the way and I found a guy's back to be facing against me, he was sitting in one of the seats in her office. He stood up, turned around, and I was immediately taken aback by his appearance. Wow. His tall figure, muscle toned arms, sharp jawline, and caramel skin made me take a small step back to really take in all of his looks. He even had large tattoos on his arms and biceps visible through the white button down shirt. Wicked.

"Kathy, was it?" He flashed a smile at me and I admired how his bright smile lit up his whole face. Seriously just... wow. He cleared his throat, making me snap out of my trance and see he had stepped a couple steps closer to me and extended his hand to shake mine. The scent of pine and snow filled my senses, reminding me of some sort of comfort that I've always felt with a snowy winter.

I smiled warmly back at him and started to shake his hand when he surprised me by instead of shaking it, he took my hand gently and brought the back of it close to his mouth, placing a light, lingering kiss on it.

"Nice to meet you, Joshua." I tried not to think about the small gesture he had just done in order to keep my cheeks from blushing, especially over how he lingered over and eyed me as he did.

"Trust me, the pleasure's all mine. And just Josh, please." He insisted and I nodded, both of us still eyeing each other carefully.

"Well, now that you two have met." McGonagall seemed to notice and called our attention. "Ms. Granger-Malfoy here will escort you to your classes this week, you two will be in the same year. After this week I trust you'll be able to handle the navigation on your own, right?" McGonagall addressed him.
