(A/n: Like it? Hate it? Review it. Hm, I think I'll also note that I
have some different fics. Harry Potter and the Wish, Dark Angel of Light
(Cate's Revenge), The Heir of Voldemort, and The Brian/Crystal Chronicles
are a different series, not a sequel to this. Those fics I wrote with
Meagan, and we combined our characters, yadda yadda…It's not really a
sequel to this, but this kind of explains Cate's life and her history… But
you can read them too if you have a lot of time on your hands!

The next morning when Harry awoke, the rest of the boys were in a large crowd around Cate, who was asleep. Neville tried peering over Seamus's shoulder to get a better look at her, but he tripped, falling forward on Cate, who gave a yell and stood up abruptly.
"From now on, I will seal my bed with a spell. So I suggest you all keep your distance." She glared at the room of stunned boys, waved her wand, and instantly was changed into her school robes. She grabbed her book bag and hurried down the stairs.
"Well..." said Dean. "She's something."
"Yeah." Seamus agreed with him. Harry agreed, but he wasn't going to say anything...
So they got ready for their first day back to class. Cate seemed to be happy to get out of the boys' dorm, and talk to the girls. So she was surrounded by a bunch of them at breakfast, and a few curious boys.
"Where did you get your robes tailored?" Parvati asked.
"Your hair is so perfect! How..."
Cate didn't answer. The bell rang, and they all hurried off to class. For Gryffindor 5th years the first class was Double Potions...
"Watch out for Snape." Ron warned. "He's awful. Greasy haired ugly git."
"And Malfoy." Harry added.
"Oh, Draco Malfoy. I've me him. On the train. He sat by me. He's awful."
"So that's where Malfoy was..." Hermione said. "He must like you, he didn't even come to bother us."
Cate didn't seem remotely happy about that. Snape and the rest of the Slytherins entered. Snape unlocked the Dungeons door and they all filed in.
Before Cate could take a seat, Snape caught her shoulder. She raised one eyebrow. He look at her closer. Then he took our the class listing. "A new Gryffindor. James. Catherine." He said in his greasy voice. He glared. "Lizzie's girl."
"Yes." Cate said, taking a step away from him.
"Take a seat between Malfoy and Potter."
Cate glared, looked towards Hermione as if to say sorry, and sat down between Harry and Malfoy. The lesson was as un-interesting as ever. Snape let them pair up to make a deep sleep potion. Harry was Ron's partner. Cate quickly escaped Malfoy, who was looking her over closely, and dashed across the room.
"Save me. Hermione? You got a partner?"
"No. "
Snape walked around, breathing down the back of everyone's neck as usual. Suddenly, for no reason at all, Cate dropped her wand and wheeled around to face Snape, who looked stunned. She frowned and narrowed her eyebrows. Snape's jaw dropped, and he glared in return. It was as if they were having a conversation no one else could hear.
"Fifty points from Gryffindor!" he said loudly.
Cate turned around and stayed quiet. The bell finally rang and she grabbed her books hastily.
"What's his business..." she muttered. "Going around..."
"What?" Harry asked, interested.
"Nothing, he's just a terrible teacher. What an awful man!"
"
We told you..." Ron said. "What was that whole episode about anyways?"
"Nothing, nothing... "
Harry couldn't help feeling she was keeping something from them. But he didn't say anything at all.
Cate proved to be more than just pretty. She was extremely smart. She was much nicer after Potions class. McGonagall was rather amazed, when Cate finished her lesson before Hermione did.
"We've just already had this lesson, that's all." Cate explained.
Harry was beginning to wonder how many lessons they had in America. He caught her trying to arrparate down to Care of Magical Creatures class.
"Why doesn't it work?" She asked.
"You can't apparate on grounds." Hermione explained. "It's all in, Hogwarts, a History. "
"Oooh... I see."
Hagrid liked Cate. She was very good with the animals. They were trying to figure out what a Barbarian Fire Dog ate when after a few choices, Cate announced what it ate... and she was right... Somehow Harry felt this was all too easy for her... far too easy.
She didn't know what to make of Divination. That seemed to be about the only subject she had trouble in... She was slightly confused at all the planets, and then, Professor Trelawney predicted two deaths and look in the direction of Harry and Cate.
"Don't worry. She's predicted my death loads of times. Don't believe what she says."
"Oooh... Okay then."
