Kate looked through the window in very good mood. The summer was over finally and she was coming back on her fifth year to Hogwarts. Something she was waiting for two whole month in her home.
The train was still standing on the platform 9 and ¾ and she was watching other students beading goodbyes to their families. There was lot of hugs and kisses, some of the mothers even shared few tears.
'Every family should be like this.' Kate thought, her smile leaving her face for a moment.
Before other thoughts could came into her mind, she quickly shook her head, getting rid of them. Now wasn't the time to get depressed. Soon she would see her friends again and had splendid time in Hogwarts. And that was all that mattered. Nothing else.
She scanned the platform again from her window in hope to see the very well known blond head for head, but she was nowhere to be seen. Kate furrowed her brows. Well, it was nothing strange for Cole or Alex to be late, but still…
It was almost at the time when the train was leaving, when the door to her compartment opened and two girls, one with blond and one with black hair step inside, big smiles on their faces and trunks behind them.
"Where were you?" Kate shouted, jumping from her sit and giving both of them big hugs.
"Chill out, kido." Alex laughed, patting her on the head when it was her turn to receive a hug. "We aren't late so what's the problem?"
"You know her." Cole answered her, putting her trunk above their sits. "I'm sure she was crying in her pillow without us."
"No, I was just afraid that I would be made to listen your crying if you missed the train." Kate rolled her eyes, taking her seat back.
"Sure you were." Alex plopped down next to her, resting comfortably. "So, how was your summer?"
Kate knew that both of them were now watching her with worry. Well, they both knew that every visit at home was slightly depressing for her, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Kate shrugged her shoulder, giving them smile. There was no reason for her to put them down.
"Everything was fine. You know, I spent almost all of my time in home, being bored." She laughed and looked on them with her blue-green eyes. "And how was yours?" she changed subject, not wanting longer investigation.
Alex and Cole sighed but didn't pushed. They knew better.
It was an hour later when Kate was left alone in the compartment, while Alex run to look for her boyfriend and Cole was out to the toilet. She rested her head on the window, looking through it, thinking about something.
When the door opened, she looked in that direction, sure to see Cole's blond hairs.
Well, what she saw was blond, but male.
She groaned inside, looking in to blue eyes of Gregory McKin. Sixth year Slytherin had found interest in her shortly before previous year ended. Kate hoped that until now, he would get over it, but seeing his smile she knew that she was wrong.
"Hello there, Kate." He said, walking into compartment as if it was his.
"What do you want, McKin?" she asked, not playing in etiquette. She had enough of him before summer, she didn't need him now.
"Well, you know what I want." He answered with smirk, using seductive voice.
Maybe on other girls it worked, but Kate wanted to vomit when she heard it. Where the hell was Cole?
"I have no idea what you are talking about." She answered coldly, turning her head to window again, in hope that he would go away.
How wrong she was.
Before she could blink, she was suddenly trapped between her sit and the tall body.
"Then I have to remind you." McKin whispered close to her ear, making her shiver from disgust. "What do you think about it?" he leaned even closer.
"I think that if you don't take your hands of me I will castrate you." She answered, finally turning her eyes on him. "very painfully."
She could see that something change in his eyes before he pulled away with this cheeky smile. Bastard.
"You will change your mind." He said, walking to doors. "Very soon. See you, Kitty."
Kate groaned on the nickname and felt the urge to hit something. Or someone.
"What did McKin wanted here?" she heard Cole's voice and turned to newly arrived friend.
"Guess." She answered, rolling her eyes.
"Trying to make a move again?" Cole took her place in front of her with frown on her face.
"And we have a winner!" Kate exclaimed in a voice of presenter.
Cole shook her head on her.
"You should be more careful." She said, looking on her. "You never know what he can do."
"Oi, that wasn't my fault." Kate shouted, defending herself. "I didn't order him to fall for me!"
"I know. But it didn't change the fact that he is Slytherin, you never know what can be expected from them." Cole said.
"See, Moony! I'm not the only one who don't like Slytherins!"
Both girls jumped surprised when the voice run from the direction of corridor. Two boys stood there, obviously hearing their conversation by the open doors which Cole left. Of course both of the girls knew them. Two of four marauders, famous pranksters. Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. The prospect of peaceful ride suddenly vanished.
"I'm just saying that you shouldn't categorize people, Padfoot." Remus sighed tiredly, rubbing his forehead.
"You know that you shouldn't eavesdrop conversation, do you?" Kate snapped slightly irritated. She just wasn't in good mood anymore.
Three pairs of eyes blinked on her. Cole kicked her in the shin slightly.
"Oh, hi, Stride, didn't recognize you." Black smiled on her, walking in to compartment with Remus behind him.
Kate was part of Gryffindor Quidditch team since her second year, so she knew Sirius from trainings. She was seeker, and if believing McGonagall, one of the best the professor had seen.
"Hello Black." She answered, looking on him.
She had to admit that he was very handsome, but she was never part of his fanclub. Not that she would be ever be part of any fanclub in her life. That was just too low for her.
"Aw, you could show more enthusiasm at seeing me." Sirius whined taking a sit opposite her.
Kate thought for a second.
"You mean something like that: 'Oh my gosh, Sirius Black, I missed you so much, I wouldn't survive this holidays without thinking about you?" during the talking, she shoot up from her seat, looking on him with her big eyes, doing sweet face.
Sirius considered it for a moment, before nodding his head with wide smirk.
"Yeah, definitely something like that."
"In your dream." Kate deadpanned before taking her seat again, with smirk on her own when his face dropped.
"I think she doesn't like me." He whined to Cole jokingly.
"Nah, she's just playing hard to get." Cole, her best friend, waved her hand and smiled slightly.
"You think so?" Sirius brightened visibly than laughed. "After all, no one would deny my charm."
Kate only rolled my eyes. His ego was sometimes too big for her to understand him.
"Oh, there you are!" third person appeared in compartment. "I looked for you two everywhere."
Two other members of Marauders gang showed themselves in girls' compartment. James Potter smiled broadly when he saw his two best mates and took the closest free seat, which happened to be next to Kate, while Peter Pettigrew sat next to Remus and almost immediately asked him about some charm.
"Feel free to join, there is a lot of free space." Kate muttered under her breath, earning a look from boy next to her.
"Stride, didn't see you there." James said, not hearing or deciding to ignore the sarcasm in her voice. "Are you trying to the team this year?" he asked, captain mode on.
"There is nothing better I could do with my free time." She answered, shrugging her shoulders.
"Good, we wouldn't want to lost best seeker in Hogwarts." He said, smiling. "And I thought about this new move during holidays, there will be a lot of training. I'm sure that we will win!"
Sirius and Kate groaned. When it came to Quidditch, James was changing into some kind of monster.
"If you kill your team during training there won't be anything to win." Cole said from her place and Kate wanted to kiss her at the moment.
"But training is the most important thing!"
Before Cole would answer on that, yellow bright light suddenly struck both Kate and James, followed by 'Not like that, Wormtail!' from Remus.
Kate blinked few times to get her sight back, putting left hand over her eyes. Whatever it was, it almost blinded her.
"Kate, you ok?" she felt someone kneeling in front of her and when she opened her eyes she saw worried face of Cole.
"I think that I'm alive." She answered, moving her head around.
"What the hell was that?" James shouted from his place, standing up to and moving to Peter, who was watching terrified everything.
And then, something happened.
Kate was suddenly pulled out from her seat. Not expecting that, she lost her balance, and landed on the floor. The landing wasn't very graceful. But when the added weight suddenly landed on her, she could only groan in pain. There was definitely some bruise forming. She could hear Sirius' amused snore from somewhere.
She looked up to see what was the reason of her pain and starred straight into confused hazel eyes.
"Why did you pull me?" James asked, looking down on her.
It was her turn to be confused.
"I did not. You pulled me from my seat." She answered, blinking.
"What? Of course I didn't do that!" he straightened to finally get up from her, for what she was grateful.
When he raised his left hand to hoisted himself on the seat, her right hand suddenly shot up in the air with his.
James looked on her again.
"What are you doing?" he asked her, amusement clearly written in his voice.
"I'm not doing that!" she snapped angrily, wandering what the hell was wrong with her hands.
She tried to put her hand down only to meet some problems. She furrowed her brows and jerked it harder.
Her hand went down.
Together with James who lost his balance again not expecting the sudden pull.
Four people in compartment were watching everything with slightly opened mouth
She groaned again, her patience running low.
"This is freaking sexual harassment!" she shouted. The ground really was uncomfortable.
"What? I would never do that!" James sat up, looking on her slightly angry.
"You are the one lying on me!"
"Not by my choice!"
"And by mine?"
"Maybe!"
He tried to stood up, but again, Kate was pulled together with him.
"Wait." Remus said suddenly, moving closer to them.
Hazel and teal eyes glared on him slightly when he grabbed their hands, Kate's right and James's left. He tried to move them away, but they didn't even budge.
"I see." He said, small smirk playing in the corner of his lips.
"You see what?" Sirius asked curiously, looking from behind Kate.
Remus looked worriedly at James, before answering the question.
"I tried to learn Peter how to use sticking charm, but he slightly misspell it." He started, feeling bad for the smaller boy. James would not be very happy about it. "It looks like whatever hit you two, make your hands stick together."
"What do you mean 'stick together'?" Kate asked, furrowing her brows.
"Try to move your right hand." Remus ordered her and after some thought she pulled her right hand.
James' left followed.
Cole and Sirius stiffened their laughter when both of their friends glared on them.
"That's not fair!" Kate shouted, fighting with the urge to stood her leg on the ground. That day was getting worse and worse.
He didn't listen to her.
"Because of Stride I lost my freedom at the age of sixteen!" he whined, looking on Sirius desperately.
Kate felt her patience disappeared at the moment.
"You are talking as if we were bloody married!" suddenly she turned her eyes on her friend "Cole, I'm only fifteen, I want my hand back!"
The blond girl found it in some way hilarious but tried not to laugh.
"Well, well, I left you for few minute and you already get into trouble."
Kate moved her eyes on Alex, who appeared in the compartment and shoved her right hand in front of her nose.
"Fix this!"
Alex blinked surprised on two hands sticking in front of her face.
"Pardon?" she turned her eyes on Cole, asking for explanation, but the blond was not in state to give her one.
"You are the best at charms in our class! Unstuck our hands!" Kate continued, hope in her eyes.
Alex rubbed her forehead.
"Kate, you are the best, you should do it yourself."
"But I don't know how!" the brown haired girl answered and took her seat, making James do the same.
Kate sighed tiredly, ignoring everyone around her. This year didn't start very good…
