Kati has the family she always wanted. Will it last? For things aren't always as they appear.


Chapter 1: Fight

Kati was sitting at the overcrowded Weasley breakfast table, snarfing down eggs, bacon, and sausage, thinking about how lucky she was.

Yeah, and she was very lucky.

Last year she had found out her biological father, Sirius Black, who had been in Azkaban for twelve years, was innocent. She had attended Hogwarts while her guardian, Remus, taught Defense Against the Dark Arts. For the first time in her life, she had friends. She even had a boyfriend.

Kati was spending the summer with the Weasley family who had graciously taken her in and treated her like family. Mrs. Weasley had become a mother figure for her and her red head children were like siblings. Hermoine completed the picture by arriving two weeks ago.

She had spent the past month taking turns between playing Quidditch in the back pasture and going into town with Fred and George for joke supplies. She was in heaven. The only downside to this wonderful summer, was she hadn't heard from Remus. not even a letter. That was unusual, even for him. She was starting to get worried. She had heard from Sirius though. A couple of letters assuring her he was indeed all right was enough for her.

She finished eating and headed upstairs to Fred and George's room, knocked, and slipped inside. Over the past weeks, she had been helping them develop supplies for their joke shop even after Mrs. Weasley had found out. Kati had just recovered from being sick from one of the Puking Pastels. It was her first day back to business.

"So, do you guys have more products to test today? Which one shall we start with?" She asked, sitting on the bottom bunk bed.

"You aren't starting anything, Kati. George and I are." Fred said, not looking up from the potion he was brewing.

She blinked. "I don't understand."

"I said, you aren't going to test anything. It's been decided." He said, his voice firm.

"Because I got sick?" She asked. Her voice a little louder.

"Yes."

"What? That was one time! Fred. You can't be serious! You guys test this stuff on yourselves all the time! You once got a back eye that took a week to remove, and yet I get sick once, and I can't do it anymore?"

"It's not the same. We know the risks." He wasn't meeting her eyes.

"I know them too. I've accepted the risks. I knew there was a chance I could get sick if I took them." Kati thought that was obvious.

"No. You don't understand. I can't see you like that again. No. You aren't going to test anything anymore."

"Fine. Maybe I should just not help you anymore. Maybe I should just leave. That way I don't get tempted to help you again. Oh wait, I can't. I have no where to go and I don't even know where Remus is. You do know I'm only doing this because I know it's your dream, and I want to help you achieve it. I guess you don't want me to." She walked out of the room, up to the bedroom she shared with Ginny, grabbed her broom, and took off out the window.

She flew to the next set of hills to cool off. She wasn't really mad at Fred, but she had said something she really regretted, and she wanted to get out of the house before she said anything else. Of course she would have to apologize later. For now, she just needed some time to herself. Laying down in the tall grass, she closed her eyes, and the sound of the wind acted as a lullaby, singing her to sleep.

When she woke up, it was dark. She panicked for a moment, forgetting why she was here, and the argument between her and Fred entered her mind. Such a stupid fight, and she could see where he was coming from, but she had known the risks when she volunteered to help them. He should know that. Then she had to apologize for her comment about not helping them.

She flew back and opened the front door to find Fred, asleep, his head resting on his arms, which were folded on the table. She sat next to him and noticed his eyes were red. He had been crying. She brushed his hair out of his eyes with her fingertips and he stirred.

"Hey."

He opened his bright blue eyes, even brighter from crying, "You came back."

"Of course I came back. I-I just needed to cool off. I had no intention on leaving for good. I'm sorry."

"No. I'm sorry." Fred said, a tear slipping from his eye.

"Don't cry. I'm not mad. Not anymore." She brushed at the tears that were falling from his eyes.

"I'm so sorry I didn't think about it. I just hated seeing you sick like that. I kicked myself thinking about how it was my fault for allowing you to test it in the first place."

"You should know... I've been through much worse. Living with Remus can be.." she paused. "unpredictable." She pulled up the sleeve of her short sleeve shirt to reveal a gash about four inches across her arm.

"What happened?" He asked.

"I was home alone one day and went to the roof. Slipped right off. Ended up having a broken arm and a couple broken ribs." She shrugged. "I'm pretty tough."

He chuckled. "Yeah, I know." He leaned forward resting his forehead against her own. "That's why I love you so much."

"I love you too." She closed the gap and kissed him. Kati loved kissing Fred. It was intoxicating, and sent warmth shooting through her body.

They were out of breath when they broke apart. "Let's get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a big day. The tournament and everything. Did Harry get here?" Kati asked, playfully running her fingers through his hair.

"Yeah. He's here. He's in Ron's room." They stood up, grasping hands, and walked to his and George's room. George of course was asleep, and they just quietly crawled into bed, Kati's head on her boyfriend's chest, hearing his heartbeat Tomorrow would be a fantastic day indeed.
