It was a dark and humid august night. All of the streets were filled with the sound of trees rustling. A girl was standing in her room, looking out the window. She was tall and lean. Her hair was as brown as dark chocolate, and had beautiful crystal blue eyes. Katini Flame looked down at the street, curious about the rain. When am I getting out of here? She thought I've been here all summer with this wicked old witch. When is James coming to take me to his house?
Katini looked around her room. She found her trunk lying open, half-way packed. She had packed all of her clothes and some of her old school books. I wonder what would happen if James came now and asked me to go with him. Katini walked over to her window and looked down at the street. To her surprise she saw no one, none the less, but James. Why is he here? Isn't he coming to get me next week.. "James?" she said
James turned around and took out his wand. "Who's there?" he whispered. James turned quickly and cautiously looked around. The wind started to blow, and James's hair blew into his eyes. He furiously shook his head, and repeated "Who's there".
Katini looked down at James and smiled. "Hm . . ." she said. "Maybe". She turned around to look at the wall. "Just maybe" she said acting sneaky. Katini grabbed her coat and ran out of her room. She walked slowly down the hallway and onto the steps. The steps creaked slightly as she walked down them. She looked at the mirrors and pictures along the wall. She made a bitter sweet smile when she saw the picture of herself with her mother and father. She missed them so. She didn't understand why her parents would give their life for her. And why Voldemort wanted her for a bride, or a prisoner.
As she continued down the hall, her aunt stopped her and said "Kat! Where on earth are you going? At this time of night too!" Kat continued to walk past her aunt, until she yelled out "Kat! I'm not going to ask you again! Where are you going?"
Kat turned on the spot with a small smile on her face. "I'm going outside to see my cousin. I think you know him. His name is James?" Kat looked at her aunt with a light expression. "I have to go now" she said walking out the door before her aunt could have another word.
James was standing in the middle of the court looking up and down the street. Kat closed the door behind her as it squeaked. James turned his head in her direction, but she was hidden by the tree. She looked down at her hand and saw that her fingernails had turned orange. "I'm feeling sneaky" she mumbled under her breath.
James suddenly turned on his heal and ran straight towards the tree Kat was hiding behind. There was a small short take of breath from Kat and James froze. He has to know I'm standing here She thought. He turned around and walked slowly away from the tree. Kat slowly went up behind him and screamed "BOO!"
James took out his wand and sent a spell straight at Kat. She repelled it with her wand and laughed. "I knew that would get you" she said.
James stared at her. "Kat, I swear, the next time you do something like that to me, I'll kill you". He walked towards her and followed whiled she led him into the house.
"Come on" she said walking pasted her aunt and dragging him up to her room. "I still have to finish packing. So hold on a minute. Okay?"
James looked at Kat in surprise. He looked as if he had never been in a muggle house before. He looked at the walls and saw a poster with the Black Eyed Peas on it . "So you like muggle bands? I can see you especially like the Black Eyed Peas" He picked up one of Kats school books and placed it in her trunk.
Kat picked up several of her school items and jammed them into her trunk. Then, she walked around her bed and set it straight with one lazy flip of her wand. "Never mind that. They aren't really my favorite band, there my aunts favorites. She put that poster up".
James closed her trunk and started down the hall. Kat grabbed her cloak, wand, and her school bag and headed out the door. Following James she said "So . . . Where are we going now? Your house?"
James started to slow down and added "Well . . . considering I'm 17 and I haven't finished school like yourself, I have to live with my parents" he slowed down even more as he exited the house and waited for Kat to say goodbye to her aunt. When she came out from her Aunts grip, James said " I have to tell you something. I completely forgot to write it to you."
Kat turned her head to James and said "What are you taking about. In your letters, you said that you knew what we would do at your house. And you promised that Sirius and Remus weren't going to be there"
James looked frightfully at her. "Well, that's the thing. Sirius and Remus are going to be there. My mother and father just invited them to stay at our home. I told them you wouldn't-"
"Your mother and father invited them to stay over!" Kat cut off James and stopped him from moving anywhere. "So" she said with anger in her voice. "Do you mean tell me that two friends of yours that absolutely like me" she broke off then added "I mean the two boys that love me are going to be there?"
James pushed Kat out of the way and continued to walk. "Yes" he said quietly. "I told them not to annoy you. But, you know that won't always happen. Most likely, Sirius will go crazy when you walk in the door, but I have no idea what Remus will do."
James stopped walking and said, "My dad is going to be here in a minute. He's going to apparate us back to my house" James walked over to a lamp pole and leaned up against it. He looked awful. Obviously he had a rough day.
Kat walked over to him and crouched down. "So" she said softly. "Why are you so tired? It seemed like you had a very rough day".
James looked up and smiled. "Remus made me study for an hour, then I went out with Sirius. We spent the whole day outside wrestling. Remus tried to stop us a couple of times, but he never managed it".
There was a loud crack and Mr. Potter arrived out of thin air. He looked older then the last time Kat had seen him. He was wearing muggle clothing and smiled at them. "Hello Kat. How are you my dear?"
Kat went over to her uncle and hugged him. "Hello Uncle!" Kat released Mr. Potter and walked over to her trunk. She pulled it out of James's grip and brought it over to her uncle. "Okay" she said linking her arm in James's "Let's get going"
Mr. Potter grabbed Kats arm and looked at James with a satisfied expression. "Hold on" he said taking in a very deep breath.
There was a loud rush of winds and Kat felt as if she, James and Mr. Potter were being sucked into a tube. She felt like all the breath had been let out of her. She now understood why Mr. Potter took a deep breath before they apparated. Kat felt as if she was going to die and go to heaven, but before she did oxygen filled her lungs.
Kat looked around and saw a nice little neighborhood with a small playground. "Mr. Potter" she said "I completely forgot which house is yours. Is that it?" she pointed at a yellow house with a large lawn. There was a small pond in the front and a garden around it. The house was the perfect muggle home.
Mr. Potter walked up to the door and knocked. "Yes Kat. This is my house" The door flung open and Mrs. Potter stood in the doorway.
She ran out to meet Kat, James and Mr. Potter. She hugged James briefly, then moved on to Mr. Potter. She was wearing a long floral dress with a pink bow in the back. It was a V-neck dress, but was covered up by a long white cardigan. But before Kat could get a real good look at her, she was smothered by a pink giant that hugged her in a tight embrace. "Kat" Mrs. Potter said releasing her and letting her go so she could stand next to James. "I hoped we could have come sooner to get you"
Kat, James and Mr. Potter followed Mrs. Potter on their way into the house. Once they were inside Kat replied "That's really okay, Auntie. I really didn't know when I was going to be picked up. Thank you for sending James to get me"
James pulled on Kat's sleeve but she was caught in conversation with his mum. He signaled to her to come in to his room. She shrugged her shoulders in agreement and was dragged away from the crowd.
James walked up two flights of stairs. He started down the hallway when he heard two people talking about cheese. Why in the world are they talking about cheese? He thought. He walked slowly up to his bedroom door and listened closely.
Sirius and Remus were obviously talking about cheese.
"Sirius, We need to figure out what type of cheese we will be needing for tonight" said Remus
"I don't give a -" said Sirius but Remus cut him off.
"All I'm saying is that making pizza or a macaroni will be a good thing to make when James comes back" said Remus.
"Remus! Do you really think James would like to come back here and start making a dinner?"
James flung the door open and replied "Why wouldn't I like to do that, Sirius?" James walked over to his best friend and hugged him. "Why are you too bickering? Shouldn't we just be getting along?"
Sirius smiled walking over to his bed and falling on top of it. "James! Thank God you're here. Remus was about to go crazy if you didn't get here soon enough".
Remus gave Sirius a deathly glare. "I was not going crazy" he said walking over to
James and shaking his hand.
James dropped Kats trunk in the middle of the floor with a loud bang, and started to pace the room. "Kat is still furious. She blames me for not telling her you were going to be here" James ruffled up his hair and continued on "I think she is starting to feel the loss of her parents again. After all it is almost Christmas".
Sirius with his long black hair in his eyes looked closely at James. "Do you think she'll?" he said cautiously.
James looked over at Remus and then Sirius. "I'm not exactly sure, but lets hope not" He walked over to the window and opened it. "How could you breathe in such a stuffy place?"
The door to the bedroom flung open and a brown hair child came rushing through the door. She looked as if she had been forced to except twenty of Mrs. Potter's old dresses. She was carrying a stack of clothing in her arms that looked heavy. All the dresses looked faded and or disgusting.
Remus gave James a Why-does-she-have-to-be-here look. Sirius messed with his hair, trying to impress Kat, and James didn't pay any attention to her. "Hello Kat." said Sirius. He walked over to her and put his arm around her shoulder.
Kat looked at him in disgust. "Get off, Black" she said with a weary voice. " I was just attacked by my poor auntie, and I don't need to be attacked by you already" she pushed Siruis off her and said to James "James, seriously, is there anywhere in this house that I can have peace and quiet?"
James walked over to his cousin and picked up her trunk. "Here you go" he said in a cheerful voice. "Why don't you run along and go meet up with Evans"
Kat looked up and hugged James. "You actually listened to me. You invited her to
stay with me. Thank you so much!" she walked past James and grabbed her cloak and school bag.
Sirius looked at her knowingly and said "I told him to do it, you know"
Kat looked at him amusingly. "Ya right, you git." She said exiting the room.
Kat started out the hall and up a few flights of stairs. I love this house! She thought. It's the perfect home to live in. And, it has spells on it so that when muggles look in all they see is a muggle home. Kat turned the corner and started to here music. It was obviously Lily playing her music so loud. She could be playing it to keep James out of the way, but she could just be because she loves music.
Kat placed her hand on the door, and it swung open. There was a dancing red hair girl in the middle of the room. She looked as if she was having a very good day. Lily was wearing a pear of jeans and a pink tee shirt. She looked absolutely stunning. Lily had sparkling emerald eyes and copper red hair. "Lily?" said Kat in the door way. "LILY!" she roared walking over to the CD player and turning it off. "I'm here" she said.
Lily came running at Kat and gave her a large hug. "I didn't know you were going to be here today!" Lily released Kat and Kat was able to breathe again. "Did you just get here? How was the evil aunt? Nice, or just plain rude?"
Kat dropped her trunk at the end of her bed, and turned to face Lily. "To answer your first question, I did just get here. I was attacked by Mrs. Potter, then I went to James's room. He just told me that you were here and I screamed for joy." Kat stopped and looked slightly at the ground. "To answer your other question, my dear old Auntie" she said with a growling voice, "was very rude to me. She didn't even give me anything to eat. I had to go downstairs myself and make meals. Then after I was done with that, she would scold me for what I did"
Lily was staring at Kat in disbelief. "She didn't make you meals?" she took the bundle of clothing out of Kats arms and laying them on her bed. "She is such a prat! She doesn't even care about you one little bit, when she is your aunt. Doesn't she want you to be alive?"
Kat went over to the dresser and started to unload her clothing. "Honestly" said Kat seriously "I believe she doesn't care about my life at all. For all I know, she could think I don't exist." Kat stopped and looked at Lily. "But there were those special occasions when she did actually buy me things without me asking for them"
Lily walked over to Kat and started to unload all of her undergarments. "So" said Lily questioningly "Have you seen James, Sirius and Remus yet?"
Kat laughed and said "You seriously think I haven't seen them" she got up from the floor and led Lily over to the door. "First off, James came to pick me up. Second of all, I went straight to James' room when I got here. I had no idea you were here yet. Guess who I met in there? Sirius and Remus"
Lily stared at Kat in confusion. "So" she said pointing at the door. "Why are we over here near the door-"
Kat cut her off and shushed her to be quiet. " Because" she said pulling Lily to the side of the wall "I bet right now they are outside the door, trying to listen to our conversation. Sirius will want to know what I am into now and James will do the same to you" she whispered
Lily walked over to the door and put her ear up to it. She could here at least two people outside; they were obviously listening to their conversation. Lily smiled and looked directly at Kat then the door. Kat nodded in agreement. She flung the door open and smiled at the boys standing there. James, Sirius and Remus looked petrified. They didn't expect this to happen. James just smiled at Lily and Remus hid behind his hands. Sirius on the other hand walked straight into Lily and Kat's room and sat on the bed. "So this is what your room looks like"
James walked over to Kat. "Sorry about this, it was Sirius's idea." Kat just smiled and looked in Lily's direction. "Should we let them in?
Lily looked at the three boys standing in the room and laughed. "I guess we can, if they promise to behave."
James looked up and saw that the guest bedroom had changed quite a bit. It was more elegant. It was made to look like a girl's room, definitely a girl's room. There were two bright pink canopy beds and flowers on the pillows. The walls were a periwinkle with baby blue stripes on them. He looked over at Remus, and he looked astonished.
Remus walked over to Kat's bed and said "I really need to get downstairs and start making dinner. So I'll just-"
Sirius stopped him before he could go anywhere. "Oh no you don't" he said pulling on Remus's arm. "You aren't going anywhere now that we have gotten into this room, and haven't been punished".
Kat and Lily looked at each other then remembered. "We did do something to you" said Kat making Remus jump. Sirius looked at Kat with a worried expression. "Yeah we did do something to you"
Lily but in saying "Something really funny, on our part" Lily ran over to the bed and grabbed a pillow right before James hit her with his hand. He obviously wanted to know what they did to him. "STOP IT POTTER!" she roared after he stopped trying to hit the pillow and resulted in tickling her.
James looked over at Kat and smiled. "I had to do it you know. It was the perfect time to."
Kat walked over to him with her wand out and said "But, you know James. Now Lily and I have to do something else to you"
"Oh yeah?" he said taking out his wand and walking towards Kat. "Like what?"
Lily looked over at James then Kat "Will you please stop. We shouldn't prank the boys, I mean all they wanted to do was talk to us for a few minutes" she obviously go tout of her playful mood.
James walked over to Lily and put his arm on her shoulder. She pushed him off her, while he said "Trying to defend the boys are you?"
Kat looked at James and said " Why don't you leave her alone for a change. I think she is right in not attacking you now. Anyway, I just heard Mrs. Potter calling us down for dinner"
Sirius looked at Remus and laughed. "I guess you aren't going to make macaroni or pizza!"
Remus turned and scowled "Oh! Shut your mouth".
Kat sat next to Lily and Sirius at dinner. They were having roasted chicken with mashed potatoes. There were little loaves of bread at the other end of the table, along with delicious carrots, and peas. Lily kept looking at Kat as if she was going crazy because after Kat had her first piece of chicken, she felt sleepy and sick. "Mr. Potter" said Lily in concern for her friend. "Did you put a sleeping draft in the chicken?"
Mr. Potter looked at his wife and chuckled. "As a matter of fact I did. I thought you and your friends would like a head start on sleep, because we are going to Diagon ally tomorrow!"
Kat looked at Lily as if she was about to fall asleep. "We are?" she said in amazement right before she her head fell into her carrots.
Mrs. Potter looked around the table and saw the two girls had eaten a piece of the chicken and fallen asleep. "Honey" she said to Mr. Potter "Will you tell Remus, Sirius and James to take those poor girls upstairs to bed"
"I heard you mum" said James walking over to Lily and putting her over his shoulder. "Sirius will take Kat up and I'll deal with Evans".
Mrs. Potter gave James a scornful look. "Don't call her that. Call her by her first name, not her last".
"Alright mum" he said as Remus, and Sirius got up to leave with Kat and Lily on their shoulders. James brought Lily straight to her room thinking if he didn't she would surly kill him. But Sirius took Kat into his room and splashed water on her face to wake her up.
Remus looked at him in surprise. "You are seriously going to dump water on her face? You know that normally never works on girls"
Sirius apparently didn't hear Remus, because right as he said this, Sirius dumped water on Kat. She looked at him in astonishment then stood up walking over to the fireplace and lighting it. "Hello" she said. She walked over to where Sirius was sitting and pulled him to the bed. "Do you mind me sleeping in this bed? I defiantly won't be able to make it all the way upstairs"
Sirius looked at her in surprise and said "Sure, just as long as you don't mind me sleeping next to you.
Kat had already pulled down the covers and slid her body into the warm blankets. "I don't mind. I really just want a place to- " she said falling asleep before she could finish talking.
There was a laugh from the door and James walked into the room. "Is Kat ok with you sleeping next to her?"
Sirius took of his shirt and put on a pair of pajamas. "She told me it was ok, so if tomorrow I wake up to see I have green hair, I'll scream"
James and Remus followed Sirius's lead by getting dressed for bed. Sirius slipped into his bed and felt the heat flow off of Kat's body onto his. She turned away from him, and laid her arms out in front of her. Sirius put his arms around her shoulders to keep her warm and smiled. "Boys look at this" he whispered. "I finally get to touch Kat"
Remus and James chuckled then got into bed. James turned off the light with his wand and put his glasses aside. Right now, all he wanted was a camera to get a picture of Sirius and Kat sleeping next to each other.
Kat woke up the next morning and felt arms around hers. She liked how they felt on her back. She felt safe and protected. How many times will she feel this safe and protected in her life time? She felt around the bed and felt for the night stand. She opened her eyes and looked at the time. The clock read nine thirty. Mrs. Potter is going to get us up soon. She sat up in bed and whipped her eyes. Now whose bed am I in? She looked over at the person next to her and sprang out of the bed. I'm next to Sirius? She thought. Okay. Calm down Kat. Remember? You asked him if you could stay in his bed. She lifted the blanket back over Sirius and walked out the door heading up to her room. But I didn't expect him to sleep in the same bed as me! Wouldn't have James told Sirius not to do it?
Kat continued to argue with herself all the way up to her room, where she saw Lily wide awake looking out the window.
As the door creaked closed Lily looked in Kats direction. "Where in the world have you been all night?" she said closing the window and turning around. "Did Sirius bring you to his room and let you stay there?"
Kat walked over to her bed and laid down on it. "Well" she said getting underneath the covers and turning to face Lily. "Sirius did take me to his room. He laid me on his bed, and then dumped a glass of water on me. I seriously didn't care, because I just wanted to get to sleep. I don't remember telling him it was ok for him to sleep in the bed with me but he did. I woke up this morning with his hands laying on me. I was so freaked out. I completely forgot everything that happened after I took my first piece of chicken." Kat got up out of the bed and shook her head.
Lily went over to her dresser and grabbed a pair of her clothes. She looked over at Kat and smiled. "So Sirius finally got his night with you?"
Kat changed into the clothes she had set out the night before and responded "I guess he did. All I know is that nothing happened" She stopped then glanced over at Lily who had already gotten changed "Thank God nothing happened".
Lily walked over to the window and saw that the car was running and it was now ten o'clock. There were footsteps coming from the stairs and Mrs. Potter yelled "Lily and Kat! We are about to go to Diagon Ally!" there was a nock on the door and Mrs. Potter came rushing in. "Good" she said walking over to Kat who was fixing her hair into a ponytail. "You're up" Mrs. Potter expression changed to a stern look. "Now, both of you go down stairs and get breakfast. The boys will be there in a minute, so hurry up and grab your food. You know how the boys eat. Like tigers they are."
Mrs. Potter left them standing alone in amazement. Out of the three of the boys, none of them had actually gotten up before eleven during the summer. "How do you think she got them up?" said Lily walking over to the desk and grabbing her cloak.
"I have no idea!" said Kat doing the same. They both walked out of the door when Kat said "Maybe she dumped a glass of water on them."
Kat followed Lily down the stairs and into the kitchen. Sirius, Remus and James were grabbing everything off the table and filling it onto their plates. James's plate was starting to overflow. When Remus saw Kat and Lily in the doorway, he grabbed his last piece of meat and ran to the table. It was as if he thought to leave them some food.
Kat and Lily filed in behind the boys and grabbed a small plate of food. Kat sat right next to Sirius and smiled. It was awkward sitting next to the boy who had had his hands around you only a couple of hours ago. Sirius ruffled his hair and started to scarf down his eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, and waffles. "Thanks Sirius for letting me stay in your bed last night. It was quite comfortable actually."
Sirius looked up at her in surprise with bacon and eggs sticking out of his mouth. "Really?" he said with his mouth full
Mrs. Potter butted in by taking their plates off the table. "Sorry guys, but it is time to go get your school books. If you are still hungry, grab a muffin for the road." She left the table and Lily got up grabbing a muffin. She only had one bite of her egg, so it was natural for her to take the muffin.
James walked over to Lily and whispered "A little muffin for my honey bee?"
Lily was so offended by this she dropped her muffin. She turned to him saying "get off it Potter".
James walked behind her and laid an arm on her shoulder. "What's wrong Evans? Did I make you scared?"
A slap went straight across James's face as Kat stepped in front of him. "How dare you talk to my friend like that? You should never address a girl so informally! Especially when you like her so much that you would die for her!" Kat walked away from him grabbing Lily in the process. "Come on" she said. "You don't want to be around that malicious boy anymore".
Kat led Lily over to the car, and Lily hopped in. Kat was caught off guard by James who dragged her to the closest tree. Turning around to face her he said "I'm just making sure that you understand that I didn't try to offend Evans today. I was just trying to play around with her" he said looking Kat straight in the eye.
Kat tried to storm off, but James caught her around the waste. "Let me go James" she said walking towards him with her wand out.
James stood his ground. Taking out his own wand he said. Are you really going to fight me now?" he looked back at the car, and laughed. "Evans still in the car. You wouldn't dare to hit me with a curse"
Kat pointed the wand a few feet away from James's nose and said "Oh yeah?" She dug the tip of her wand into the side of James's face. James knocked her wand to the ground. Kat was out of weapons. The only thing left she could do was hit him. She picked up her fist and saw that her fingernails had changed to black. She didn't like how this happened. She turned from James and stomped on the ground a couple of times, getting her anger out. She turned to face him and asked "Okay. So what was your problem this morning? Did you just forget that you were talking to a girl that you will be trying to get all year? Or was it just you came to your common sense?"
James walked around him self as if he was thinking. "I think I realized the only way I might even get to know Evans is by getting your approval. And, I thought later we could fly around on our brooms"
Kat started back to the car and James followed. "I guess, you made the right choice. Lily will be surprised hat you actually came around and thought about something for once" she opened the door to the car and crammed herself in. I guess we could fly around later, if it is okay with everyone else" she looked at Sirius, Remus, and Lily who all nodded in agreement. Lily was a bit hesitant before she nodded. She still thought that James was rude and inconsiderate, but she knew if Kat was talking to him again, it would be safe.
Kat, Lily, Sirius, James, and Remus all got out of the car and walked into the Leaky Cauldron. Mrs. Potter was leading the way, and Mr. Potter was taking up the rear. The Leaky Cauldron was quite quiet. All the tables were empty except for one, that was occupied by a frail looking witch who had a small bunch of butter beers on the table. The register was empty and the glasses behind it were quite dusty. Mrs. Potter looked around and mumbled "This place is definitely gone to the dogs. Look at the dust everywhere" She walked through the pub and into a door on the side. "This is it" she said rushing the others to get inside "This is the way to Diagon Ally" Mrs. Potter took out her wand and tapped a couple of bricks on the wall. The bricks at the top moved slightly, then opened slowly with the rest of the bricks following. Mrs. Potter walked straight out onto the coble stone road. She turned around saying "Kat" she looked directly in Kat's way then lifted her head saying "Welcome back to Diagon Ally.
Kat followed the rest of the group with Lily at her side. They walked past a couple stores. Kat suddenly smelt the familiar aroma of the Hogwarts feast. It smelled like a bubbly, warm, pumpkin spice, hot cocoa dinner. She turned her head and saw that she was standing right out side Flourish and Blotts. Kat turned around in confusion and found a man standing on the street with a cup full of something that looked like candy.
The man was wearing a long purple wizard robe. He obviously was trying to sell the cups of candy materials because he asked Kat "My dear child. Would you like a cup of this delicious happy potion? I can put it in a test tube if you would like."
Kat walked over to the man with Lily in her wake. "Um" she said. "What does it do besides make you happy? I mean are there any malfunctions?" The man shook his head and smiled handing it out to her. She took it, washed it around in the test tube and pocketed it. "How much is it?"
The man stood there for a minute thinking. He probably didn't think that anyone would buy his potion. "Um" he took out a sheet off paper in his coat pocket then said. "Ah ha! It is four galleons and six sickles"
Kat took out the money requested and handed it to the man. "Here you go" the man took the money and ran off into the distance. "I think I'll be needing this for a later use, probably sometime during school" Kat walked over to the rest of the groups who had already entered Flourish and Blotts and smiled. They were all crowed around one register that looked overwhelmed by books.
Kat walked back over to Mrs. Potter when Lily said "I think I'll go to Olivander's today. I'll be needing a new wand soon"
The others soon joined in saying "Yes, I need to go to Madam Malkin's Robes" or
"The Cauldron shop is where I aught to go". Kat just smiled at these comments, and looked down at her hands. Her fingernails had turned yellow. Aren't I happy, she thought. Katini Flame felt as proud as anyone can be, because she was going back to Hogwarts for her final year.
