Katie found Lucy's story adorable. It was so cute and she could picture little Lucy following the other girl around. "What did she look like? Wait, was it Penelope Clearwater?" she wondered, unsure who the 7th year girl's prefect was that long ago!
"It is kind of silly," Katie said, a little unsure how she should admit to who it was. She had a tiny bit of fear that Lucy might get jealous since she had dated her and it had gone...terribly. Though, that wasn't until much later. "Alicia," she confessed. "I convinced myself third year that it wasn't a crush but...it was."
"To my country," she toasted. Throwing the shot back, she slammed the glass down on the table. She cheered along with Lucy, two beats behind, before standing up.
Katie wobbled but managed to keep her feet. "Ready?" she asked with a dopey grin as she held out her arm to Lucy. She had planned to be sweet to her but she wondered if she might need it for support!
