Chapter 9

I sighed as I walked down to the library to meet Andrew and Jes. They were the least Slythern like that you could get if you wer in Slytherine. We always met in the library right after dinner. I spent as much time as I could with them after my old friends had shut me out. Winter break was a week away and I hadn't talked to Caleb and the others since Alex found out that her name was actually Raven Black and I had only one sister, Hermione, which no one at Hogwarts could find out. She didn't even think I was going to come to Hogwarts because she is under the impresson that she's a muggleborn. I sat down in our usual spot. I heard a chair be pulled out next to me and felt pants brush my bare leg. Why did girls have to wear these unconfortable skirts?

"Hello Andrew. Why isn't Jes here yet?'

"Ummm Cat, I'm not Andrew, I'm Caleb." I looked up aruptly. Sure enough the he was looking right into my eyes with a concerned expresson. I frowned.

"What is it this time? Has Raven changed her name again or has she been failing her tests and needs my help just because I'm the smart one?"

"Erm.... Well actually Raven has no idea that I'm here, and I need to talk to you."

"Well here I am what do you want." Andrew and Jes came in and sat on my other side. Caleb cleared his throat and leaned in so that his lips brushed my ear as he talked.

"I need to talk to you alone." I stood up.

"Sorry guys I need to leave for a moment. I'll try to be back as soon as possable." Andrew waved it off and began to write down notes. Jes frowned and looked back and forth between Caleb and I. Finally she gave up trying to figure out what was going on and began her notes. We left and headed towards the demigod dorms. When we got in it I turned and faced Caleb.

"What do you want.'

"Why have you been talking to Luke almost every night?" I sighed.

" That's my business. How in the world did you know that?"

"I spend almost every second out of class in the practice room fighting. And I have enchanted watch cameras."

"Hey! You don't have to intrude in everyone's private business like that!"

"Anyway that's not what I wanted to talk to you about."

"What else could you ever want to talk to me about."

"Well I was IMing Annabeth last night and-"

"What!?!?! Did something happen at camp?!? Why didnt you tell me this this morning?!?"

"Please don't interupt. Anyway she was wondering why you weren't with me and..... I told her that you had been avoiding us since the first day.... She asked me to tell her every thing that happened that day so I did and...."

"and what."

"She said that you probably felt left out and the Malfoys had probably been treating you better than we had.... And I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry."

"oh..... What about the others? Were they to proud to admit the truth and apologize like you did? Huh!"

" I...... I...... I haven't told them." His face was so assamed. I stepped closser to him and gave him a hug.

"As long as you've apologized it's enough for me."
