Karlie's P.O.V

Being called into see my head of house isn't something that any Gryffindor student wants to happen to them. For me it's completely out of the blue because I don't believe that my grades are suffering. I'm still shocked when Patricia, a seventh year student and also a prefect tells me that Professor McGonagall wants to see me.

Heading to Professor McGonagall's office I look at all the portraits along the way watching them play out their scenarios that they do. As soon as I reach her oak door I breathe in and out in a hurry. Raising my hand I knock and with a call I enter into her office. "Professor McGonagall, good evening..." I state walking in but then I look up and see Taylor Swift standing there with Professor Snape. "Oh I'm sorry, please excuse me." I state turning around and attempting to leave. But I'm stopped by Professor McGonagall standing up and saying, "No, wait a moment Miss Kloss." I turn and look at her as she waves me in. "Miss Swift is here with Professor Snape because he is the head of Slytherin house and Miss Swift is failing my class." I glance at Taylor who has her head bowed down and then I look up at Professor McGonagall and she says, "You are here Miss Kloss because Professor Snape and I agree that with Miss Swift being so gifted with Potions that she needs to be tutored. It has been agreed that as your grades are extending your classmates that you will tutor Miss Swift until the OWL exams have been sat." I feel my mouth drop open as I look at Taylor and then at the Professors, without saying anything I nod and Professor Snape then thanks Professor McGonagall before he escorts Taylor out leaving me alone. "I want to thank you Karlie," I raise my head. "Not many Gryffindor students would agree to tutor another house student. Let alone a Slytherin. So thank you, you're really proving that the sorting hat chose the right house for you." I smile at her. "My pleasure Professor." She nods and I leave and walk back to Gryffindor Tower.

The next six months of school are tough, I meet with Taylor every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights. We study for two hours and then I also gather small assignments from Professor McGonagall for Taylor and I to accomplish while we study. It seems to me that Taylor is progressing amazingly and she's getting way better at turning things into other things. I know that she will for sure pass her Transfiguration OWL with no worries. We're less than a week away and studying on a Friday when we start talking about our families. As we get halfway through the night of study I'm interrupted by Kristine walking past me. She looks me up and down and then eyes up Taylor before she walks on. I know that later on I'm going to wear it from her. I know she's being a protective older sister but as my father said after the meeting between our family and the Swifts in Diagon Alley that we needed to rise above them.

Taylor looks up from her book of Transfiguration and says, "What was that?" I shake my head and return to my Charms homework while Taylor stares me down until I look up at her. "What?" I question and she looks at me. "Well it's not every day that an attractive girl walks past you and stares at you with a look that could kill but you don't know what it's about." Taylor states putting her quill down and staring at me so I am forced to place my quill down too. "That girl that you claim is 'attractive' is my sister and judging from the look I received I'm going to get questioned for talking and being near you Taylor." I state looking at her, she looks at me confused. "Me, what is wrong with me?" she questions.
"Nothing is wrong with you Taylor. But you're a Slytherin and I'm a Gryffindor so let's be honest here Taylor, I've been getting weird looks from people looking at us for the last six months. So excuse me if I don't want to discuss anything other than study. My family wouldn't exactly be thrilled that I'm assisting a Swift." I state looking at her before going back to my Charms.

Taylor's P.O.V

Karlie's announcement that her sister would be speaking to her later just because she's tutoring me but I don't say anything I return to my Transfiguration. I wasn't happy in the beginning to be getting tutored by Karlie. I feared that it would be too close for me to be near her without letting my affection for her come to light. But that's not the case, I've been able to watch her silently and although I've never wanted to admit that I love her I find that it's getting harder and harder to not say anything and therefore I decided last night that once the OWL Transfiguration exam is finished I will declare my love for her as long as I do not chicken out.

The day of the exam I'm nervous about it. I already know that I'm fully prepared and I've caught a glance of Karlie already at breakfast and it only makes me more sure that once the exam is finished that I'm making the best decision about her.

Sitting in the exam as the timer ticks I look down at my paper, writing my name on the top I quickly set to work in completing all the questions as quickly and efficiently as I can. The timer continues to tick on and as two hours tick over and the exam finishes. I watch as Karlie leaves the exam, saying goodbye to her friends on the way. I do the same and follow at a safe distance, I watch as she disappears into the library and I smile at how fitting it is that she goes to the one place that I fell more in love with her. As she disappears into the stacks I follow her, walking up behind her I say, "what are you doing back here?" I question making her jump. She jumps and turns and looks at me, "oh Taylor, I...I uhm, I didn't expect you there." She states as she backs herself into the table behind her. I smile at her, "I knew you'd be here. I watched you leave the exam." I state walking towards her and feeling my heart warm as she moves further back and bumps into the table. Suddenly we're face to face and she has nowhere to go. "W-what are you doing?" she questions her lips quivering and her eyes looking at me intently. "Don't you know," I state moving closer,  "What?" I smile at her as she questions me.
"I think you've always known how I feel about you Karlie Kloss, and I think if you were honest you feel the same way." I state but as she goes to open her mouth to respond to me I don't let her. Instead I close my lips over hers and our lips and teeth clash in a kiss of the ages that leaves us wanting more. Even as we pull apart I see Karlie's green eyes are closed and I know instantly that this is the start of something new and something more.
