It was a blistery, rainy Friday. Ron, Hermione, and Harry were in their last class, Transfiguration. "Class!" Everyone looked up from trying to transform their rats into cups. They looked up at McGonagall. A young girl with long, dark black hair, and dark, dark blue eyes, was standing right next to her. She held a wand, and some books. Ron whispered to Harry, "Who's that?" Harry shrugged his shoulder, and Hermione shushed them. McGonagall then started to talk, "Class, starting Monday, you will have a new witch." She pointed to the witch next to her. The witch blushed. Ron whispered, rather loudly, "Gosh! She's pretty, huh Harry?" Harry just stared at her. McGonagall noticed and said, "Mr. Weasley!" Ron looked up. She asked, "Maybe you would like to introduce the new 6th year. She will be in many classes with you and Mr. Potter. Do you know her name?" Ron, who was blushing, shook his head. McGonagall smiled and said, "Well if you would let me continue I will tell you." Ron nodded his head, and sunk into his seat. McGonagall continued, "As I was saying, this is Miss Katherine Wendell. She is a new student here at Hogwarts. Miss Katherine, is there anything you would like to tell the class about yourself?" Katherine blushed and looked at her books, shaking her head. McGonagall looked at the clock, turned to Katherine, and said, "Well Miss Wendell you can sit back there. Right by Miss Granger-" Hermione shot her hand up, showing that she was referring to her. "- And by Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley. Do not worry. Those two will not give you any trouble. Miss Granger will keep them in line." Katherine nodded her head, and whispered something in McGonagall's ear. She announced, "Class! Miss Wendell tells me that she would like all of you to call her 'Katie'." As Katie walked down the rows, immersive mutter came about.
As Katie sat between Hermione and Ron, Ron put out his hand and said, "Hi I'm Ron Weasley!" Katie blushed horribly as she shook his hand. Hermione, who was reading a book, put it down, and asked, "So Katie, what house are you in?" She didn't blush, and she said, "Gry-Gryffindor." Ron burst out, as everyone started to leave class, "Really?! That's our house!" Katie again blushed as she stood up. Hermione asked, "Why are you just starting Hogwarts?" As Katie and Hermione started out the door, Harry's scar started to burn. He clutched his head with his hand. Ron, who didn't notice, said, "Gosh she sure is pretty." Harry, whose scar stopped burning, said, "Yeah. Pretty."
As they got back to the common room, Ron saw Katie go to the girl's dormitory. Hermione was sitting by the fire. Ron and Harry sat in two empty chairs. Hermione said nothing. Harry, (Ron was staring at Katie as she was leaving) noticed and asked, "What's wrong Hermione?" Hermione said, "It's Katie." Ron heard her say her name, and asked, "What about her?" Hermione got up and said, "She should tell you." Harry and Ron yelled, "Hermione!" Hermione said, "Ok, ok. The reason why she's here is…" Harry and Ron leaned in. She sighed and finished, "She's living with her grandparents because she lived in America and her father was killed by Lord Voldemort!"
Hope you like this story. Worked really hard on it. Well R&R. but why would Katie move here?
