Author's Notes: While wandering about this vast "new" world I've decided to join (LJ), I stumbled across the title of a post and was greatly inspired by the headline. This is to be my first fic post on the site as well as my first offical K/M fic! How exciting! I'm not sure exactly how I felt about the characterization, so let me know what you guys think of them, if you'd like :)
I had a time deciding where this would fit into canon and I figured it was probably around Katie's third year and Marcus' sixth. I'm not sure how things work in English school systems but where I'm from they have a cut off date for accepting students each school year and if you miss the cut off because of your birthday (how they tell when to cut you off, my date was was October 2nd and I was born November 8th), then you're placed in the grade/year below you. I applied this to Katie so she is slightly older than the average third year.
Edit: Okay wow, I have easily spent close to an hour continuously reformatting this bc it refuses to post right. If it looks weird when you read it, I apologize and can only say I tried...
