There wasn't anything special about the day, nothing in particular that Kate had to do, nothing out of the ordinary that she wanted to do. That was one of the cool things about having a boyfriend, she'd come to realize. Especially a boyfriend who didn't totally suck. Not having anything to do wasn't a big deal, she could still head over to his place and hang out with him or talk him into going to the beach with her.

Doing nothing was still kind of awesome when she was able to do it with Harry.

That was pretty much her plan for the day when she grabbed her bathing suit and a towel from the hut, then tried to head out the door and leave Chang behind. The fluffy dog was having none of it, no matter how hot it was outside, and he followed her toward Harry's, trotting cheerfully behind her, pausing occasionally to sniff at something or pee on the side of a tree.

"You better not ruin the day," she warned him as she neared the hut Harry shared with Ron and Hermione. "I mean it, if you eat a rabbit or do something gross, I'll be pissed and I'll send you to live with Troy and Abed because I'm not dealing with that shit."

She was still talking to the dog when she reached the hut and knocked on the door. It was possible Harry wouldn't even be home, but she didn't think there was anything else he had to do that day.

"Behave," she told Chang one more time. "That's the main rule. Be good and everything will work out just fine."
