Kaitlin watched the sky growing darker. She knew they were moving him tonight, but that was nothing to do with her. Darren had told her, he was an Auror, or at least he used to be. But Kaitlin didn't want to think about that, besides, she hardly knew him. In the line of business she was in there wasn't time to make friends, she was always on the move. You see, Kaitlin was a Snatcher.
'Katy!' She heard her name being called from across the park. She sighed and turned to look into the distance. Liam was jogging across the grass towards her. They'd been friends for years, nothing ever went past that, but Katy didn't mind, it would be strange if they were more than friends. Liam slid across the grass and sat down beside her, shaking his shaggy hair off his face.
'He's moving tonight, right?' Liam asked, staring up at the sky as if he expected Harry Potter to fly across before his eyes.
'Yep.' Katy answered.
'Awesome,' Liam muttered, not really interested. 'are we working tomorrow night?'
Katy nodded. 'Far as I know, yeah. We've got to catch up with Grimwell , and then pick up Trent. Shouldn't be too taxing.'
'They can't seem to keep a hold on Trent, can they?' Liam commented casually.
'Nah, but then again, he is pretty quick.'
'Yeah,' Liam nodded. 'but you're quicker.' He winked at her. She smirked and turned back to the sky again. Liam was always like that, she'd got used it.
'Why are you so eager for a night off anyway? It's not as if you've got more of a social life than the rest of us.' She asked him. When you're moving locations at least once a week, it can be quite difficult to maintain any sort of relationship with people. Especially when more often than not, you can't tell people where you are or when you'll return.
Liam smiled to himself. 'Might have a date.' He told her, his eyes glittering slightly.
'Nice one there, Liam,' Katy said slightly sarcastically. 'who is she?'
'Well, she's just someone I met,' Liam shrugged. 'not really sure who she is. Her name's Julie.'
'Well done. Glad you had a proper conversation with her before you asked her out.'
'Actually,' Liam straightened his t-shirt collar. 'She asked me.'
Katy rolled her eyes. 'Really? Was it out of sympathy?'
'Oh ye of little faith,' Liam grinned at her. 'you'll see, when everything goes perfectly.'
Katy laughed. 'Yeah, right.'
She expected a witty remark back from Liam, but he was staring at the sky again. A flash of green flared in the distant sky. Katy's jaw dropped.
'Do you think that was…?' She started to say. Liam swallowed hard and stared back at the sky. A faint yell of Expelliarmus! Issued from somewhere far away.
'That's him alright.' Liam replied slowly.
'Wow…' Katy couldn't stop herself saying that. She'd always found Harry Potter very intriguing. When she was at school, she was in his year, but he never noticed her. They'd never spoken to each other before, but she just found him really interesting. His whole story fascinated her. But of course, she could never express this given what she did for a living. She'd be killed for sure.
'Okay, he's not that cool.' Liam remarked, leaning back and regaining his confidence. Katy simply looked at him. She'd known Liam since they started school, they'd always been friends, he knew almost everything about her.
'But he is!'
'He's a jerk,' Liam told her. 'he once told me that if I didn't get out of his way that he was going to hex me so bad that I wouldn't wake up for a week! Does that sound like a cool guy to you?'
'You sure that was Harry? I can't imagine him saying that.'
'Yeah, well… I'm pretty sure it was him. He looks like a lot of people really. Got a common kinda face, you know?' Liam explained.
'No he hasn't. He's got the most recognisable face in the world, you idiot.' Katy corrected him, a warm smile on her face, though.
'I guess,' Liam shrugged, glancing at his watch. 'Damn it, we'd better get a move on.'
'Where are we tonight, again?'
'Up at the Manor,' he told her. Katy sighed. 'aw, come it, it's not that bad. Draco's a sound guy.'
'He keeps hitting on me.'
Liam laughed and smiled at her. 'Well, if you're gonna go around running all the time, like Baywatch style, what d'you expect?'
She smiled, slightly confused. 'What's Baywatch?'
'Never mind.' Liam sighed. He'd grown up very accustom to Muggles, he knew their TV schedule inside out.
