Chapter 1: "A New Beginning"
A young woman about 18 sat alone on the Hogwarts Express. Her school robes hung semi-loosely about her sleeping form as to not attract the eyes of those passing by in the train's hallway. Hermione, Harry, and Ron quietly entered the cabin where she slept. The three friends took notice of the small bundle in her arms and it was wrapped in a blanket. The young woman had dark chestnut brown hair down to her waist. Her hair commented her pale complexion. They took a seat as the small bundle let out a cry. The young woman awoke, and begin rocking the small bundle. She smiled at the three people that were also in her train car. The young woman pointed to the bag beside Harry. He handed it to her and she pulled out a bottle, and began feeding the wrapped bundle.
After several minutes, the young woman handed Harry back the bottle. The young woman burped the bundle and rearranged it. She intorduced herself as Katherine Meadows and soon found that the other three were Ron, Harry, and Hermione. They were then introduced to little Samantha, which was her 8 month old daughter. The four continued to chat about Hogwarts and other things. Then it was time to get into their robes, Hermione of course was already in her school robes. She stayed to help Katherine with Samantha while Ron and Harry left to change into their school robes. Soon returned after changing into their robes.
Katherine took her daughter's diaper bag and little Samantha wrapped in a blanket with her. Then she went with the first years, she had yet to be sorted. The boat ride put little Samantha to sleep as they rode to Hogwarts across the lake. Katherine waited with the first years outside the Great Hall to be sorted. A professor greeted them, introduced herself as Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall told Katherine that she was to come in with the first years, but she was to be sorted last because she was the oldest. Professor McGonagall lead them into the Great Hall. Katherine walked into the Great Hall with little Samantha in her arms. The students stared at the group of people coming in. The headmaster Professor Dumbledore smiled at Katherine because he was happy to see that she had made it. Dumbledore knew very well of her situation that she was in and that she had a child.
The other professors smiled at her, except one and it was the potion master, Professor Snape. The first years were sorted and then it was time for Katherine to be sorted. After Professor McGonagall called her name, Katherine walked to the stool where the sorting hat was sitting. She took a seat as Professor McGonagall lifted up the hat and placed it on her head. The sorted spoke inside Katherine's head: "Your past has much to do with the house that I am placing you in. You enemies must be kept closer than your friends for it is your enemies that will understand your past better than your friends. For your bravery I will place you in GRYFFINDOR. The Gryffindor table clapped as Katherine climbed and went to the Gryffindor house table. Katherine took no notice of the look on the potion master's face. It was one that one would give when remembering something terrible, but then he quickly changed to his regular scowl.
Disclaimer:J.K. Rowling owns everything but the plot, Katherine, and little baby Samantha.

Chapter 2
Katherine followed the other Gryffindor students to the tower where she would be staying. She had been given a seperate room due to the fact that she had a baby and required extra room. Little Samantha yawned at stared at her mother with those big blue eyes of hers. A small tear fell from Katherine's cheek. She smiled at her daughter and begin to sing a song to allow her daughter to sleep. These were the words that Katherine sang:
A rainbow in cloudy skies Sunshine in your day Smile even when ur lonely because helps u along the way Sometimes gets deary and cold and u have to stop the way,
don't be afraid to ask someone for help allow ur way.
Heartache may cause u to stumble on your path but get up and start again I'll always be in ur heart guiding you along the way, perious one.
(this poem belongs to me)
Katherine stared down at her sleeping daughter and she placed Samantha in her crib. Then she dressed for bed and went to sleep. She fell alseep as soon as her head touched the pillow. Dream- Katherine was in a house that she knew but couldn't place. There were no lights on in the house and it was after dark. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she wondered through the darkened rooms. She came to a room with a bed in the middle of the room. Katherine tried to stop herself from going in the room but her feet kept moving further and further into the room. Suddenly the door was slammed shut and someone grabbed her from behind. Katherine tried to struggle, but was no use the person behind her was stronger. The person that had grabbed her, pushed her onto the bed and tied her down. Soon she found herself surrounded by several men in hoods. She tried to scream as a man fondled her breasts but a gag prevented her scream. Katherine sobbed as the man thrust into her, breaking her barrier that had proved her innocence only a few moments before. The man emptied his seed into her and stood up. It was as he stood up that she saw her face, the face of her rapist was that of a man that she didn't know.
Katherine awoke with a start in her bed in Hogwarts. She was covered with sweat and her heart pounded from the horror of dream that was a memory that she remembered all too well. It was that night that had produced little Samantha, her darling daughter. Katherine looked at the clock and noticed that it was already time to arise for the day. She showered and got herself and her daughter dressed for the day. Then she got her supplies and went to the hospital wing where Madme Pompfry would watch little Samantha during Katherine's classes.
Katherine walked to her next class of the day, which was Double Potions with Slytherin. She choose a seat in the front of the classroom. A few seconds after the bell rang, the door burst open and the potions master came in the classroom with a scowl on his face. A late student from Gryffindor came through the classroom door. Professor Snape took away 15 pts. from Gryffindor for the student being late. The class continued with lesson dealing with making a potion. Katherine performed the assignment almost flawlessly, that is until Draco charmed her cauldron to overflow. Professor Snape walked over to where Katherine was seating.
"Miss Meadows for allowing your cauldron to overflow that will be 20 pts from Gryffindor. Now clean up your potion and cauldron, then return to your seat," Snape said angried. Katherine cleaned up the mess and then returned to her seat. She was minding her own business as Professor Snape passed by Draco's potion to inspect it. "Miss Gryffindor, over there can't kept her legs shut. That's why she has a kid. Watch out students and professors alike or she'll be forcing herself on you too," Draco said outloud. All the Slytherins laughed and all of the Gryffindors were shocked by Draco's comment. Katherine was beyond anger; she was pissed. Katherine jumped up and walked over where Draco sat. She pulled him up out of his chair and hit him across the face. She was able to hit him in the eye, before Professor Snape raced to Draco's side. "Miss Meadows that display of outrage cost you 50 pts. and a week's worth of detention. Katherine stood speechless staring at her professor. She felt the tears fill her eyes, so she raced to her desk and packed her supplies. Professor Snape stocked over to Katherine's desk. He grabbed her shoulder and told her that if she left she'd get two weeks more of detention. Katherine turned and pushed his hand off her shoulder and slapped her hand across his face, then raced from the classroom. He had seen the tears in her eyes because of the remark Draco had made. Snape ordered the class to return to work and allowed Draco to go to the hospital wing.
