"When you didn't show up the time I needed you as afriend." She had said sorry at the feast. But Katie hadn't understood the means of her apologizing.

"We broke up. Fine. Great." He shrugged his shoulders as he put his wand back in his pocket. Pluto could have flown to the moon and he would not have noticed. "And yeah, I was upset. Because you didn't believe me. You thought that I would cheat on you but whatever." He rolled his eyes as this was said. If he wanted to date someone else. He would have broken up with her. Not cheat. It was stupid but he shrugged at this again. "But that's completely different than what I'm getting at. We broke up. Ended our relationship. But we didn't end our friendship. At least we hadn't then. Not until I was in a life and death situation. And you didn't even care enough to sent an owl." Or a note. Or call. Or a single letter. Nothing. "And that's why I don't know you. If I knew you...I wouldn't have expect you to come." She had changed. Or he had. Or something.

"Hope for what?" He asked lamely. He felt oddly better and yet at the same time worse now that he had gotten what he had to say off his chest.
Katie had changed when she hadn't gone to the hospital after his accident. She had stopped being a friend. Her not showing up at the hospital had come up at the feast, but it wasn't until just then she realized the extent of how deeply it had hurt him. Maybe he was right. Maybe she had changed. Guilt surged through her in that moment, her dark eyes moving to focus on anything other than his emerald green ones. The furthest she got was the tree a couple feet away.

Their break up was anything but fine or great, but Katie kept her mouth shut. She knew better than to shatter the thin, already cracked ice they were on. Though she wasn't sure how it could get any worse, since they weren't exactily friends anymore either, it would still be liking kicking a sumo wrestler while he's down. Useless. The next words out of his mouth made her look up to meet his gaze, shaking her curly-haired head at him. No, he was wrong. He was wrong, and she was going to let him know it. Maybe she had changed, maybe they both had, but something he had said still wasn't true. "You're wrong," though the girl felt rather small at the moment, her voice was firm. "I didn't think you would.." Still, Katie couldn't bring herself to use the word he had. How could she explain to him, to make him understand? It didn't matter how, because she had to tell him. Had to try, even though it wouldn't fix things and it was too late. "Legend.. I hate her. You have no idea how much I hate her, and at the time all I could think about was what I'd seen.. she kissed you, and I lost it." Pausing, the Hufflepuff diverted her gaze for a moment, her arms coming up to cross over her middle as she avoided thinking about it too much, reliving it in her head. "Logically, I knew you wouldn't have. I knew you didn't. But I wasn't thinking logically. All I could think about was how much I hate her, and how much.. it hurt, and how I needed to get away from there."

"You picked her first, Legend. Before me, when you had known how I felt.. I know that doesn't matter," Untangling one arm, Katie waved a hand dismissively, the other still wrapped around herself. "but .. I couldn't help how I felt, how it hurt so much to see that, I know you wouldn't have but.." Finding it hard to say anything else, Katie shrugged. She couldn't admit that there was a time (or times) when she had felt second to Hazel, or that the day they had broken up, maybe Legend would have realized Hazel was the better choice after all. "We hadn't been talking since that day, and I didn't hear about your accident right away. When I did find out.. I wanted to go and see you," the girl frowned again, doubting Legend would believe her or care, because she hadn't gone to see him. "But I didn't.. I don't know where we stand, especially then, and I.. at first I didn't think twice, but then I did stop and think. I was scared that if I went.. you wouldn't want me there, or that my being there would bother you more," Katie gave a slight, helpless shrug of her shoulders. "I was wrong, and stupid, if it were any other time.. I would have been there no matter how I'd think you'd feel about it; I wouldn't have cared about that. But I didn't, and I don't have a timeturner to go back and fix that.." Trailing off into silence, Katie didn't know what else to say. "It doesn't fix anything, I know that, but I am sorry."

Hope for what? Katie just shrugged for probably the millionth time, murmuring. "I don't know anymore.."
