I Welcoooooooooooooooooommmmme eeeeeeeeeee all of you to this Story! I'm back and sorry for the very short wait… Prongs. I had a few ways I could go with this like… maybe a bit of this and that, but I decided to go the way that I am going with the chapter that you shall read. Note, they are twelve… even though they sound sixteen.

I don't own Harry Potter, I don't own Alan Rickman (I wish… Katie just puked), I do however (not) own Benedict Hump-Her-Back…

It was just like any other day, the sun was blazing, the wind blowing a gentle breeze through the trees. A perfect day it would seem, but all was not perfect in the home of Zackary Pieper. "You know what Byron get out of my house!"

"This is my house! You get the hell out!" it had been like this for the past few hours. A few twelve year old boy's and girl's were playing in the attic just above the fighting. "Do you have any fives?" Zack asked Katie Rogers. She shook her head, "Go fish."

"Why don't you just take the kids and get out!?"

"Jess do you have any Kings?" Sierra tapped her foot on the wall. Biting her lip from cursing she handed her two kings.

"Zack! Tell your friends we're going!" his mother was scary when she was mad. "Okay, pack it up. I'll see you guys later I guess." They all crawled down the ladder and took a very awkward walk through the foyer and out the door. Zack, Casey, and Zack's mum took the car and left to Diagon Alley. The three girls left decided to walk to the nearest bus stop. "I wonder what they were fighting about this time." Sierra said as they waited for the bus. Jess shrugged and shook her head as a smaller bus stopped in front of them. Once they were all seated in the back Jess gestured them to come closer, "Rumor goes that Mr. Pieper might be going to Azkaban. They found out he supported You-Know-Who." Katie's eyes were wide while Sierra made a 'who cares face'. "We knew that already though. Is the ministry just dense?"

"They are afraid, after the Quirell thing they don't want anymore scares."

"Well, if Hogwarts would do background checks then they wouldn't need any scares!" Sierra stood up when the bus stopped, "I'll see you guys later." she then got off and the bus continued its path. "I thought her mum was meeting us at Diagon Alley." Katie watched Sierra walk until the bus turned a corner. "No, just ours. My mum said something about a famous wizard book signing. I bet it will be like… James Patterson or something." Katie gave Jess a puzzling look but didn't say anything. Finally the silence was eating them away, "See any good shows lately?" Jess asked. Katie then blew up like a firework, "I saw this amazing show called Sherlock. It is the best…" What have I done? "…Show in the world! I found out it's filmed in America but British people are the actors in it! It's based on Sherlock Holmes…" I'm going to kill you with my mind Katie, stop this nonsense. Die…DIE! "Hey look our stop!" Katie stood up, pulled Jess, and stopped in front of the Leaky Cauldron. Their mums were standing just outside the grubby place, "Come along girls. We have much to do before the signing."

"Okay girls, we will meet back here at 12:30." Katie's mum said before leaving with Jess's mum to get their potions supplies. "First stop is… Robe fittings." Katie read off her long list of things they needed. "Oh goodie. Another witch to tell me I'm to fat for my current robes." They walked into the shop and jumped up on the pedestals. "Oh my, Ms. Vance you've grown." Katie started to giggle as the she was measured. Jess glared at the back of Madam Malkin's head. Just say fatter you bitch. Katie kept giggling as if she heard Jess's thoughts. Now Jess was being measured. Katie was sitting in a chair next to the door smiling like an idiot. "Once size longer then your last. And a size smaller." Okay, first you call me fat. Now you call me slimmer… MAKE UP YOUR MIND!

Once they had gotten their robes done and all their things collected them stopped for ice cream. Katie had been quiet since the robes and most of the summer, "Are you okay?" Jess asked as she licked her cone. Katie shrugged as she drank her drink, "I'm just… you know."

"I don't know… Have you talked to George lately?" Katie looked down at her lap and a tear fell from her nose. "Oh gods… Um, I'll take that as a no… Don't cry!" Jess jumped up and put her arms around Katie's shoulders. "I haven't talked to him all summer and… I don't know, I'm just a bit sad." she was hiccuping and her breathing was jagged. Now, Katie was a strong, high spirited, needs no man woman, but George was a very nice young man and he treated Katie right. "Katie, if there is faith and love in the world. He will come to you soon."

"KATIE! KATIE ROGERS!" Jess looked over her shoulder with Katie to see Fred and George running towards them. "Damn… And now Snape will blow up and I'll get Alan Rickman… I thought so!" Katie jumped up, wiped her tears, and ran over to them. It was like one of those perfect slow motion running's. Without the flowers and pretty music though. And Fred was ruining the moment by running with George, "Oh… that is just weird…" Jess whispered as she left a tip on the table and walked over to them. "Come on you love birds. It's 12:30 and I need my books." She dragged Katie to Flourish and Blotts where a large sign had been put up. "Gilderoy Lockhart will be signing copies of his Autobiography. Magical Me! Today at 12:30 to 4:00... This is what are mothers are so excited for… Oh gods no!"

"Jessica, Katie, hurry along girls. We need to get your books signed before a line forms…" It was way to late. But they saw a spot next to Mrs. Weasley and got with them. "Hello Molly. Fancy seeing you here." Jess's mum said. But before Molly could answer the lights dimmed and out stepped from behind a purple curtain, Gilderoy Lockhart. Old ladies in the room screamed at the top of their lungs.

YAY! So, Katie is nothing like this in real life. ALWAYS!
