Where two mischievous 6th year Gryffindors come to plan havoc, chaos and other troublesome activities. They discovered this tunnel in their second year while running from Flitch (will this guy ever die?). It seems even the Marauders didn't know about it.

James walked through the tunnel, and out into the semi fresh air of the forest, looking around to see if Kate was already there. He and Kate had been friends since they started at Hogwarts, before even, because their parents were friends, but he was sure their friendship was changing. They were closer than they'd ever been. People think James was indifferent to others, only using females for the fun her got from them. If they really looked, they'd notice he had girlfriends. Not just random hook-ups. His friendship with Kate had always been a problem in those relationships. That's when he realised that their relationship was changing. He sort of hoped she could feel it too. He shrugged, then saw her. A smile lit up his face and he walked over to her. "Hey Kate," he said, his voice sounding oddly flat, however happy he meant it. This was one of those times he wished he'd taken after his mum. Harry was such an idiot when it came to this.

"James! I thought you'd never come, you're only..." she pretended to check an imaginary clock. "... an hour and a half late. I don't know why I sat here all that time James Potter." she finished with a Nows your time to grovel look.

James sighed. He caught the look and nodded, looking down, in mock shame. He reached out and pulled her into a hug, just like he had a million times, but, as his arms closed around her, jolts went through his body. Jeez! What's going on?! He didn't want to let go, so he kept her there. "I'm sorry Kate, I really am. I'm really getting sick of being held up. I'm really, really sorry, Kate," he said, hoping it sounded grovelly enough for her. He still didn't let her go.

Kate rolled her eyes and returned the hug. "Come on James Potter, have I ever not forgiven you?" she asked. She was a little surprised when he didn't release her automatically, but she found she rather enjoyed it. Awkward. "You had detention?" she guessed, trying to distract herself.

James was almost reluctant to let her go. But he did. Got to keep face. Until he told her what he needed to. He nodded. "Yep. Professor o Raghallaigh again. It's not my fault she keeps catching me at the wrong times!" he whined dramatically. "Umm, Kate, I - uh - I need to talk to you about something," he muttered.

"If I hear one more messed up detail about Amber Jones..." she sighed trailing off. If she was up to date, that was a 5th year Ravenclaw he had liked. Or at least mentioned her name once or twice. Why did she suddenly not like him talking about girls? She had always respected that he was a guy, and that most guys liked girls. But now something tugged on her heart a bit to think of that. She stopped those thoughts before they got dangerous. Even if no one but herself could hear them she didn't want to let herself think about that.

"It's got nothing to do with Amber Jones," James replied, noting the way she trailed off. Maybe this wasn't going to be a loss after all. "It's definately got nothing to do with Amber Jones," he muttered. He looked back up to her, and took a few deep breaths. Yep, definately wished he'd taken after his mum. "Kate - we've been friends forever, right. But, umm, recently, I - uh - I - umm - bugger," he swore. This wasn't going too well. "I was - uh - wondering, if - uh - you'd noticed any - umm - change in our friendship?"

"Change?" Kate smirked. She was being stubborn, hiding her confusion like that. It was somewhere in her genes. Probably got it from her mom, with her d**n flirtatious habits. "Are you trying to tell me you're gay?" she asked, joking, trying to avoid anything serious. Oh Merlin, not now, she thought, I thought I had life worked out, kind of. Oh to hell with it. She wished she could take that back. My James was (attempting to be) serious this once.

Definately not!" he replied. He knew she'd been joking, but he was determined to get his point across. He took another deep breath. "Kate. I like you. A lot."

Kate sucked in her breath. She almost replied with something like "Of course you do, everyone luvs me!" but then she realized what he had said, how badly wanted to hear those words and how much courage it would have taken James to say that. She sure couldn't. C'mon Katie, reply d**n you! her mind prompted. "Um... oh... er... wow...?" her tongue twisted up the words so she did the only other thing she could think of. She kissed him.

James watched Kate with bated breath. He was sure, now, that she was going to turn him down. When she began to stammer, he sighed, defeated. But, his eyes widened in shoke, as she kissed him. He responded almost immediately, and fervently. His arms wrapped around her. He'd waited for this. Thought about it. And it was better than he could have imagined. Electric shocks were shooting through his body from their joined lips.

Kate hadn't expected a response like this, but admittedly she rather enjoyed it. Her hands found themselves wrapped around his neck so she could kiss him better. James was several inches taller then her. She had a few qualms about kissing her best friend, but it was just a kiss, no matter how special it felt... right? Plus, he was a good kisser. Sure she had kissed other guys, but this was going on and on. She felt a little lightheaded...

Sure she had kissed other guys, but this was going on and on. She felt a little lightheaded... James was finding it hard to keep his hands in one spot, and his tongue in his own mouth. He felt her arms around his neck. This felt so right. But, what if she didn't feel the same... He pulled away, just enough to look at her. "Umm - I - uh -" he stammered awkwardly. Now he'd done it.

Kate pouted when James pulled away. "What's up Potter, lose your nerve?" she teased gently. She didn't let go of his neck. Kate ran her hands softly down his arms and took his hands in hers. "Now, you have 10 seconds to kiss me, or I'll have to take drastic measures. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...9 1/2..."
