Kat hopped out of the car, and walked towards the house. She was so happy that tomorrow she was going to be on the train heading back to Hogwarts. The house looked a bit calmer then the first time she got to the Potter's. James, Remus and Sirius were not running around the house like crazy lunatics, and Lily wasn't singing her heart out. Kat walked over to the door and swung it opened. James, Remus and Sirius then followed her into the kitchen with heavy books in their arms. Lily followed with Mrs. Potter on her heals. They were both carrying a large stack of school robes.

Lily walked over to the chair near the side of the wall and placed the robes down on the chair. She heaved a great sigh then said "How many school robes did we really need to buy? Surly not that many!" she walked over to Kat who was unloading books from the bags and stacking them into piles.

Mrs. Potter looked at Lily questioningly, "well," she said with some satisfaction in her voice "you all grew at least two inches during the summer. James almost grew six!"

Kat ignored this comment, for she already knew how much James grew over the summer. She picked up one book titled The Standard Book of Spells III; placed it in its pile then turned to face the others. "I have placed all of the books into piles. They all have a name on top, so those are your books." She ran to grab her books, and then walked quickly over to the wall. She noticed that James, Sirius, Remus and Lily had run to the books, and frantically searched for their pile.

Lily walked over to Kat after getting her books and pulled on her arm, dragging her out of the kitchen. She stopped dead in front of her trunk. She opened her trunk and laid her books on her neatly folded laundry. "At least we are going to school tomorrow. That's a good thing" she smiled at Kat then closed her trunk.

Kat placed her books on Lily's trunk, then laid them in her own. "I can't wait to go to Hogwarts again"

Lily looked behind her then said "Yeah, me too. But I bet James will pull a joke on us sometime soon, he has been acting funny" she said as they started to walk down the hall towards their room.

Kat caught her eye in a are-you-sure-he-isn't-asking-you-out-again look. "No not like that funny, Kat!" said Lily pulling her into their room. "I mean he has that look! You know the look!"

Kat turned to face Lily then said "Yeah, I do know that look"

Kat, Lily, Sirius, Remus and James walked down the hallway on September first. They were going to Hogwarts. Kat looked around the hallway for the last time until school was out. Kat loved her aunt's house. It was the perfect size, and had a spell on it so it can enlarge from the inside the house, but not from the outside. She looked at Lily and noticed she was looking very weary. Obviously she is tired! We talked all last night about what the boys might be planning to do! She thought.

The steps groaned and moaned as the five of them walked down stairs and reached the kitchen. Mrs. Potter was cooking eggs, bacon, sausages, and biscuits. She looked up at them when they sat at the table patiently waiting for their breakfast. Sirius looked at the feast Mrs. Potter was making them for breakfast and a small smirk slid across his face. That was quickly subsided when Mrs. Potter stared at him sternly and said "I wanted to make sure you all a nice meal to leave on Sirius" she looked at the eggs then continued "but if you don't want a good meal, then you can just wait in the car for the others". Sirius looked down at his plate, thinking about what he had done.

Lily nudged James and whispered "What was all that about?" James ignored her and mumbled something to Remus. They smiled. Lily turned to Kat shrugging her shoulders. "That was really odd, don't you think?" said Lily taking the plate Mrs. Potter had passed out.

Kat nodded. She turned to James and said "If you don't tell me what happened on the train, you'll be in for it" James looked surprised and covered a small laugh. He obviously doesn't know who he is dealing with! She thought. Kat looked at Mrs. Potter who was carrying a large tray of eggs and bacon to the table.

She laid the tray in front of Sirius. He looked up and said "Sorry Mrs. Potter. I was really surprised to see such a large amount of breakfast being made. Normally it is a bit smaller then today's"

She looked down at him and smiled "Its okay Sirius! I was just making sure you had enough to eat. It'll be a long train ride you know!" She walked away slowly and grabbed the warm biscuits' and sausages from the stove. "Here you are now. Eat up!"

James, Sirius, and Remus all dug in. Lily looked at Kat in surprise then grabbed a biscuit from the basket. "Ah!" she screamed looking down at the biscuit. "These are really hot!"

Mrs. Potter turned around and picked up a biscuit saying "They have a warmth replenishing charm on them so when you bring them on the train they will stay warm!"

Kat smiled then said "Remind me to pack one James. They are so good and I always wish that I'd have packed one once we are on the train left with nothing to eat" she took some eggs and started eating them carefully. She didn't want to look like her cousin here! She wanted to be a young lady.

Sirius looked over at Kat and Lily and smirked. He nudged James, and Remus. Immediately, Remus' and James' head turned to face the girls. A mischievous smirk fell upon the boys. Sirius looked over at Kat and said "What are the two young ladies down there, doing today?"

Kat looked up with an evil grin. "Get off it!" her eyes fell to her plate then slowly went over to Lily. They were going to have an interesting breakfast.

Once they had finished their breakfast, Kat and the others loaded their trunks into the car. Kat walked along side with Lily while the boys followed them "So" she said looking straight at Lily "What do you think happened with Sirius, James, and Remus last night?"

Lily opened the trunk of the car and looked behind her, seeing that the boys were coming out to put their trunks in too. "When did James say he would tell you about it?"

Kat looked at James talking to Remus as he walked down the walkway, then threw her trunk in after Lily's. "Well he didn't exactly tell me. I sort of threatened him to tell us on the train. But, I highly doubt that he'll tell me. It was probably something to do with Snape. You know how he likes to terrorize Snape"

Lily looked stern and said "I am so sick of him jinxing Snape like he is some doll"

She picked up her trunk and flung it into the car with such force it was like a brick came down and landed on the car. "I mean why does he have to do it all the time. He could at least give Snape a break!"

Kat was so used to this comment, so she merely continued walking and barely heard anything Lily said. The only thing she was thinking about was Hogwarts; the smell and happiness that go along with it. She desperately wanted to go back. She looked at Lily in realization, for Lily was walking away in anger. "Lily" she said catching up to her friend "You do realize that the only reason they torture Snape is because they are gits?"

Lily wandered over to the closest rock and sat down with a thump. "I know that's why they are doing it" she pulled at some of the grass "But still, they shouldn't be doing it".

Kat pulled Lily to her feet, then replied "It's ok" she smiled. She grabbed Lily by the hand and dragged her over to the car door.

Mrs. Potter came out with a long cloak on. "All of you get into the car. We have to hurry and get to Kings Cross. It is already ten thirty!"

James screamed and flung his trunk into the car. "WE ONLY HAVE THIRTY MINUTES!" he looked at Remus then roared "GET YOUR TRUNK INTO THE CAR NOW!" James calmed down thinking Why in the world did I just yell? then mumbled "Okay, we need to hurry up!"

They reached Kings Cross at ten fifty. James was having a temper tantrum, and Remus was looking a bit pale. Mrs. Potter big them adieu and sent them straight onto the Hogwarts Express. She hugged Kat for what seemed like an hour. "Have a good year dear, and don't do anything stupid. I'll be seeing you during Christmas!"

Kat watched as Mrs. Potter said goodbye to the rest of the gang. She spent extra time with James, Sirius, and Remus, but didn't know why.

Once they were on the train, they started searching for a compartment. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to get here earlier then eleven exactly. Sirius was getting frustrated. "Where is a stupid compartment" he would say. Kat looked in each one but was unlucky.

She opened the last compartment cart and was surprised to see all of the seats open. "Over here! I found one" she said to the gang. They all filed in behind her stacking their trunks on the shelves above.

James looked around and smiled "Great! This is where some of the prefects go for there compartments" he looked around at Remus "Do you think it's okay if we are in here?"

Remus nodded then looked out the window. He turned to the Marauders and said "I can't believe that I wasn't chosen to be a head boy, after all the consequences. . ."

Lily stood up and walked to the door of the compartment. "Come on Remus" she grabbed his hand " you have to go to the prefects station. Tell me how it goes. I wasn't offered the position this year!"

James looked at Remus and felt anger bubbling up to his throat. He wasn't mad a Remus! He just wanted to in Remus' position! James turned his head around and noticed that he was left in the compartment with his cousin, his crush and his best friend. "So Kat" she turned her head away from the window "What did you want to hear about this morning?"

She looked at him suspiciously. This had to be some kind of a trick. Why would he tell me now? I mean, he never wants to tell me things! She thought. "Er" she looked at Sirius then back at James "Lily and I wanted to know what you guys did last night. Aunt Potter was really mad at you guys this morning! What did you do to upset her?"

Sirius burst out laughing. "That's all you want to know?" James joined in. Now it seemed like there was a chorus of laughing people. "Why – didn't – you – want – to know – anything else?" Sirius said between laughs.

Kat stared at them, then turned her head to look at Lily. She didn't understand how boys like them, could laugh over the silliest of things. "Come on just tell us!"

James got up from the floor, then pulled Sirius up too. "You have to help to, you know!" he said to Sirius making sure he knew. Sirius nodded. James turned to Kat then continued "Okay, so last night we decided to stay up all night and play games"

Sirius interrupted by saying "I brought my exploding candy and all that stuff, so we decided to play a game of truth or dare!"

This time is was Kat's and Lily's turn to laugh. "Wait" she dried her eyes from her tears of joy "Are you saying that three almost fifteen year old boys played truth or dare?"

James answered by saying "yes" Kat was still laughing and rolling all over the floor. "Get a grip, or we won't tell you the rest!" said James as she stopped and sat on the bench next to Lily. "So at first it was a pleasant game and we didn't do anything wrong. But then Remus dared Sirius and Me to go down stairs and eat all the ice cream I had. So, of coarse we couldn't break the rules. Sirius was rather excited and ran down to eat. I only shuffled down"

"By the time James had reached me, all the ice cream was gone, and Mrs. Potter was staring at us with an evil glance" said Sirius. "She told us that if we don't clean up this mess we wouldn't get breakfast. As soon as I heard that I began putting things away with my wand. She suddenly turned and made it all go back to where it was. She gave us the orders to put it away, but not with magic."

Kat was a bit confused, but finally understood. "So are you saying she got mad at you because you decided to have a midnight feast?"

James smiled then said "No, she was mad because we didn't clean it up all the way. We left the dishes in the sink for the house elves!"

Kat nodded sarcastically and looked out the window again. They were getting closer to Hogwarts. She wanted to smell the delicious food and feel the warmth from her cozy bed. But that wasn't going to happen for a while, as they were three hours away from it.

The Hogwarts Express came to a complete stop in front of tons of carriages. Remus had returned from his prefect duties hours ago, and Remus told Lily that there was a new seventh year prefect. Lily was upset for the rest of ride, but one they reached Hogwarts her happiness shot up through the air.

Kat followed the group out of the Hogwarts Express and onto a platform. They all ran to the closest carriage to find that is was occupied. They searched down the aisle until Lily beckoned them to come towards her. "I found one! Lets' get in!"

Kat and the others were about to go into the carriage when Malfoy came along with his crew. "What do you want Malfoy?" said Kat turning to head into the carriage.

Malfoy turned his head around as smirked "Well, isn't it the group muggle lovers?" He stared at Lily then at Remus. "And I suppose you" he turned to James "are still in love with the mudblood over here?"

James stepped forward and took out his wand. Lily looked around and saw that they all had done the same thing. "Don't you ever say that about her ever again!" mumbled James so only Malfoy could here. "If you continue to do stuff like that, we'll be forced to do something about it". Sirius and Remus exchanged glances, then nodded.

Malfoy, knowing what the Marauders could do, backed away. He laughed then turned on his heals.

Lily looked stunned. Everyone around her had their wand out pointing it at Malfoy. "Thanks" she said to them all looking around and finally spotting James. He looked up at her and they exchanged a non- verbal conversation. James walked inside the carriage grabbing his trunk and placing it on a shelf. Kat was utterly stunned. What just happened with James and Lily? I know that something good just happened. Lily actually smiled at him, normally she yells at him for doing something really stupid! Thought Kat.

Once they were all in the carriage Kat looked out the window. She looked at the horses carrying the carriage and smiled. They were so beautiful in her mind. That was until she got up closer and noticed they weren't horses, and they had wings! She looked over at Lily and said "Do you know what those things are that carries the carriage?" Lily shook her head in an I-don't-know-what-you-are-talking-about fashion.

There was a sudden silence and everyone was looking at something. James was looking at Lily, while Lily was glancing over at him every once in a while. Remus was looking out side, with his head up to the moon. Sirius looked straight at Kat, while she kept her head to the ground. Lily and Kat looked at each other quickly and both wished they didn't come on this carriage.

Kat looked around at everyone then said, "So" she turned to face Lily "How was your summer away from the Potter's house?"

"Horrible" Sirius mumbled. "My mom made me be a house elf as one of my punishments" Sirius looked at Kat quickly then lowered his head, "Well" he started "she really didn't do that. She tried to though!" He looked up at Remus then at James suddenly realizing something, "Hey! Where is Peter?"

James explained to Sirius that he didn't come to his house for some kind of dinner that his parents were hosting. Sirius nodded, but was still curious about the fact that he wasn't on the Hogwarts Express. "Maybe he missed the platform" said Remus coming out of a trance.

Sirius and James continued talking about this until they reached the castle. Kat ran out of the carriage waiting for the minute that she would take a step into Hogwarts the fifth time as it is time for the feast. She looked over at Lily and grabbed her arm, "Come on, we will be late for the sorting!" Lily sighed and walked even slower. "Come on! I don't want to miss the hats song!"

James, Sirius, and Remus just looked at each other with the same thought in mind. She's gone insane!

They all heaved a great sigh of relief when they noticed Polly Vanburan (a devilish child) was placed in Slytherin. Kat was staring at the ceiling with an expression of complete curiousity. Sirius noticed her peculiar actions and turned to tell James. "Hey" he said looking up at the ceiling "What is up with Kat? Is she obsessed with the ceiling? I mean I know it takes the form of the sky, but why is Kat so obsessed with it?"

James looked towards Kat and followed her gaze. She was staring at the clouds. They had some sort of tint of purple in them. He looked up and saw a familiar face that he could barely see. "See that?" James said pointing up to the cloud "That face?"

Sirius followed his gaze, then frowned. "James. . ." he said tentatively "there is no face there."

James was confused he looked back up and saw the faces apparently smiling at Kat. "Well" he said looking over at Sirius "I think she is feeling lonely. I think she wants to talk to her mother again". Sirius nodded.

The tables were suddenly filled with delicious food. Apparently the sorting had finished and Dumbledore had announced if there were any new teachers. James was still getting acquiring looks from Remus and Sirius, but he decided to ignore them. It was better to not pester Kat then to do so. There is the one fact that they still don't know about Kat. How would they understand her life? I mean, she's half an Elemental and half a Sylph for Pete's sake He thought. James looked back over at Kat and saw that she was talking animatedly with Lily. Kat suddenly turned to look at James and smiled. He smiled back noticing that her smile was a bit dull. Unlike herself Kat seemed sadder and more friendly torward's people around her. She was even nice to the Slytherin's! She turned back to Lily and continued talking.

"So, James" said Sirius bringing James back into reality "How do think we will get our detentions tomorrow?" Remus moaned while James and Sirius looked at him inquiringly. "What Remus? You don't want to be part of the Marauders anymore?"

"Sirius" said Remus "I just wasn't thinking about spending my first weekend at Hogwarts in a detention session!"

James smiled then said "Remus calm down" he looked to Sirius then they both looked back at Remus "We will be the ones getting the detention. Not you."

Remus looked back down at his food with a smile "Good because I'll be doing some other things"

"Like what?" said Sirius. He and James had seen the glimmer in Remus' eye. They both looked back at each other and agreed that they were going to figure what the "other things" were if Remus liked it or not.

"Oh just some things, it's not of great importance" said Remus shoving a fork of potatoes into his mouth.

"Well we think it is of great importance" said Sirius comically "Tell us, mate! You know you can trust us" he said as in talking to a four year old.

They all started to laugh, even Remus who gave Sirius a look. "I know, but I think you'll be annoyed" he said looking back at Dumbledore who stood up to change the meals to dessert. James and Sirius let out a small shriek then started shoving pies into their mouths. Remus stared at them then started to laugh, "You'll be annoyed because it involves reading"

James and Sirius absentmindedly ignored Remus' attempt to get them to listen. They were still grabbing for the pudding, pie and tarts. James was just finishing up a pie, and Sirius was just stuffing a pie into his mouth when Kat saw them and started to laugh. "Do you two ever stop eating?" she said looking at Sirius then at James.

Sirius mumbled something like "It's my favorite part of the feast", while James shouted out "What? We're hungry!"

Lily let out a sigh and started to laugh just as Kat did. "You say you are hungry, just after you finished eating dinner!" Lily said making Remus start laughing too. Lily grabbed a chocolate croissant that was in front of her and started to eat it. By this time James and Sirius realized what they were all laughing about.

Sirius looked up at Lily then said "You say that we are eating a lot, when you yourself are having a croissant?"

Kat turned to him and scowled. "Did you ever notice that you and your gang probably eat half of what is on the Gryffindor table?" she said turning towards Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter, who had just appeared at the table before the feast. "I mean, Lily is eating her first croissant! And you are eating, what is it, your twentieth piece of pie?"

Remus looked at her for a moment then grunted. Kat realized what he was trying to say, and then said "Well at least James and Sirius do that. Probably not Remus and Peter"

But before any of them could argue Dumbledore stood up and hushed the hall. He looked around at them all then started to speak. "I know you are all tired and ready for bed, but I must say a few things before we depart." He walked around the staff table then continued on "Most of you probably know that a certain dark wizard is at large. If any of you do not now this I will explain. His name is Lord Voldemort" all around the hall people shuddered. "He is known to be the darkest wizard of the age. He has killed hundreds of people and is a threat to all." He looked down at them all and spotted Kat. He gave her a kind and supporting look. " Now I know all of you would like to know more about this Lord Voldemort" people stirred while Dumbledore said his name " but the ministry has forbidden me to do so. Now with all that in to account, I must remind you to not go roaming around the castle out of hours. That can put your life at stake." Many people turned their grin upside down, and started to look very somber. "But don't worry my dear children, for this castle is heavily protected with charms and enchantments. So there is ninety nine percent chance that no one will enter this castle and harm you." Dumbledore looked down at Lily and Remus and smiled. "But before I send you off to your dormitories I would like a word with some of you. May I see, Lily Evans and James Potter after the feast? Now I give you the permission to go back to your dorms when you have finished your dessert, but don't eat too much of it!" his eyes lingered on Sirius and James "Good night!"

Suddenly the whole hall started to move. James and Sirius, however, did not take Dumbledore's words seriously. They were still stuffing their faces with food. Kat however asked them to stop once Dumbledore was finished with his speech. James wondered Why does Dumbledore want to talk to James and Lily? Sirius had the same thing in mind by saying "Why does he want to talk to you?" he said pointing at James and Lily.

Lily shrugged her shoulders. She normally doesn't like being asked to be seen by a teacher. Remus on the other hand had something in mind. "Maybe he wants to talk to them to tell them to teach Sirius how to get a grip!" they all laughed "I mean, maybe he wants them to control you from going crazy Sirius?"

They all got out of their seats when Lily grabbed James's arm. "Did you forget already that we need to talk to Dumbledore? Come on, lets go!" she said with apprehension.

Dumbledore was waiting for them at the staff table with two badges in his hand. He looked up as they approached noticing that a couple of students were staying behind waiting for them. "I'm sorry if I got you worried. I think student are afraid of what would happen if I called them up to meet me during the feast" Lily looked at Dumbledore relieved, while James stood there looking tired. "I must inform you that I forgot to put something in your letters to Hogwarts this year" He handed them both a piece of parchment.

Lily looked puzzled. "Would you like us to open it here?" she asked Dumbledore quizzically.

"Yes my dear, it is of great importance that you open it here instead of your dorms" He watched as Lily and James opened the letters they were given. Lily let out a gasp and James mumbled something like "I knew it!" Dumbledore watched their expressions for a while until Lily looked up from the paper. "My dear child, here is your badge, and here" he said giving James his badge "is yours"

James looked up and smiled, "Thank you sir. Does this mean we get to watch the corridors every once in a while?"

Dumbledore looked surprise at this and said "Yes my dear boy. Now considering it is late I must ask you to go back to your dorms and come to me if need be. You will spend your night in your old dorms, but by tomorrow night I ask you to go to the dorm next to the fat lady's portrait. That is where your bedrooms will be. By the way the password is sugar quill" he said in a whisper. And with that he sent them off into their cozy warm beds without another word.

Lily woke up the next morning with a loud yell in her ear. It was Kat. Lily wouldn't tell Kat what Dumbledore wanted to tell her yesterday, so she was determined to get it out of her today. "GET UP YOU LAZY BUMB!" roared Kat shaking Lily. "You have to tell me what he wanted to talk to you about now!" she said in a –you-better-tell-me-or-else- voice.

Lily got up slowly and turned to look at Kat. "Okay. I'll tell you" Kat let out a shriek when Lily sighed "He first brought us up to the table and-"

Kat cut her off by saying "I already know that part. I want to know what he told you and what did he give you?" she looked questioningly. "I saw him give you a letter then, something small. I couldn't get a glimpse of it"

Lily got undressed then put on her school robes, then she started "Well in the letter it told us that he forgot to put something in our Hogwarts letter" Kat sat up and took a brush from her nightstand to brush her hair. "in the letter it told us we were, well, the head girl and boy"

Kat stopped brushing her hair and let out a small scream. "Oh my gosh! You the head girl! And James the head boy?" Lily nodded, while Kat threw her pillow at Lily. "And you didn't tell me this last night? Why?"

Lily screeched as Kat hit her with her pillow. She looked back up at Kat and smiled. "Will you stop hitting me with that?" Kat stopped "Thank you. Now I couldn't tell you last night because Remus, Peter and Sirius were around."

"But you didn't realize that James was going to tell Remus, Sirius and Peter anyway?"

Lily looked surprised. "I guess I forgot that" she said grabbing her shoes and putting them on.

Kat grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her out of their dorm into the common room. "Come on, we'll miss breakfast"

Once they were in the great hall the four Marauders came up behind them and yelled. Lily turned around and slapped James' face. Kat on the other hand started laughing. James turned on Lily and said "What was that for?"

Lily looked at Remus who was laughing. He had his prefect badge on, while James and herself had their heads badge on. "You scared the living daylight out of me!"

Sirius suddenly walked over to Kat and put his arm on her shoulder, "what about you, did we scare you?"

Kat turned her head up to his and kissed his cheek. "Um. . . well I think I liked it how you all screamed like little girls!" She ran over to Lily from under Sirius' arm and hid behind her.

Sirius was curious why she was acting so weird. She was being nice to him. But she was also playing with his emotions. "What is wrong with you Kat? I mean, many people want to be in your shoes right now. You have a handsome man like me, having a major crush on you!"

"Nice try Black" she said sternly turning away to walk with Lily towards the Gryffindor table.

"What did you just do?" asked Remus calmly walking to stand in front of Sirius. "I mean how did you get her to do that?"

"Do what?" asked Sirius and James

Remus looked astonished. He never thought his two friends wouldn't realize the crazy thing Kat just did. "Okay, this is absurd. Neither of you saw what just happened?" the two boys across from Remus had questioning looks. "Well, Kat had a glimmer in her eye after she kissed you. It seems like she actually liked it. I mean, I can't read minds and all but I'm pretty sure that was what she was feeling"

Sirius smiled and turned to James. He had the same expression as Sirius, but there was less of a glimmer in James' eyes. Sirius decided he would have a plan, a plan to sit next to Kat every meal so eventually she would fall for him. He had already told James and Remus about this last night and they thought this was a great idea, well at least James did.

The four Marauders followed the girls down to the Gryffindor table and Sirius immediately sat next to Kat. Kat frowned and kicked Lily from under the table. "Ow- Who-" but she caught off when she caught Kat's eye. Kat tilted her head to the left. Lily smirked then continued eating the eggs in front of her.

Kat turned to James and caught his eye. They have planned something. I just know it. Look! He has that look, the look that he has when they plan something on me! Oh he'll be in trouble she thought

You are so right Kat! He'll be in so much trouble, but not just with you but also me! Thought Lily looking up and catching Kat's eye.

You can hear me think? Come with me! Out of the Great Hall! Now! Thought Kat. Immediately Kat and Lily stood up and left the Great Hall. As they passed four boys who looked at each other and one with messy hair and glasses said "Where do they think they are going?"

Once they were out of the Great Hall Kat grabbed Lily's wrist and dragged her to the end of the corridor. "Why can I hear you when you think?" said Lily.

Kat looked up at her and smiled "Well I have a secret. I mean the only one who knows is me and James. Now that you heard me while I was thinking I have to tell you. I am half an Elemental. Because of my elemental powers there are times where my mind can reach other people and we can communicate. That is what happened with me and you. I don't know that much about my elemental powers, all I know is that I can control the rain"

Lily stood dumbfounded unable to process this information so quickly. "So are you saying you are more then an ordinary witch?"

Kat looked at her as if she didn't understand why Lily didn't understand "Yes! Elementals can be born every two hundred years. I am one of those few. Elementals can live up to two hundred years. The only problem with that is that being am Elemental means I will have to be a guardian when I die. I mean that I will change into some other form. I will be only able to contact by my ghostly form"

This time Lily understood perfectly. Now she just had few questions. "So does that mean if you want snow during the winter all you have to do is cry? And can you talk to me in my mind anytime you want to? You better not do it to me when we are talking a test because I will not answer you."

Kat shook Lily to get her to be quiet. "Yes, Yes and by the way I would never do that to you!" Kat looked at her watch. "Come on! It's getting late and we'll miss Potions if we don't hurry!"

The ran along the corridors until they reached the Dungeon. Sirius, Remus, and James were waiting outside the Potions classroom with cookies in their hands. Sirius and James had two cookies. As the girls approached James and Sirius offered their other cookie to Lily and Kat. Kat accepted but Lily declined. Once they all finished their cookies, the classroom door was opened and they were all aloud in.

They were having a class with the Slytherin's today and it was not going to be pretty. Kat can stand Lucious and Snape, but there are occasions were she would snap. Lucius was sitting with Snape talking to him animatedly. But once Kat walked in he lifted his head and grinned at her.

Kat turned to Lily and frowned. "It is bad enough with Sirius on my back, but now I have Lucius on my back!" she sat down in the farthest seat from Malfoy and took out her cauldron. "Why is it that all of the creepy boys go for me?"

Lily took the seat next to Kat and smiled. "I knew it!" she said taking out her cauldron.

"You know what?" said Kat when Professor Stalin came in.

"I know that you like Sirius. I mean to me it is obvious. I don't know about the boys, but I can tell." As she said this Kat turned to argue but professor Stalin cut her off. "Good morning children! We will be brewing the blah blah blah"

Kat and Lily weren't listening to Stalin any longer. Kat was trying to poke into Lily's brain so they could talk, except it was difficult when Lily didn't want to answer her. Come on Lil! Talk to me! NOW! She yelled in thought to Lily.

Kat get out of my head now! I'm trying to listen to Stalin! Get out! Thought Lily feebly while professor Stalin was saying "Now children this is a very complicated potion. So please turn to page 452 and start brewing"

Immediately the whole class started to gather their ingredients out of their bags. Lily was taking out her ingredients when Kat asked "What potion are we brewing? You better talk back to me!" she said angrily.

"We are brewing the Draft of Living Death page 452" said Lily quietly to Kat. "I'll talk to you once we start the potion. Not right now, okay?" asked Lily

"Fine" said Kat thinking to herself. Was it really that obvious? Does it always look like I like him? I mean I don't like him that way. . . I think thought Kat curiously.

Kat was getting anxious. Half of the class had already passed and she wasn't able to talk to Lily. Every time she tried talking Lily just kicked her out of her head. She always said "Stop Kat! This part is really difficult! I'll talk when I'm done!" But every time she said this, Kat couldn't but think that Lily was trying to hold off the conversation. But apparently that wasn't the case, because right after they had gotten out of Potions Kat questioned Lily.

Kat grabbed Lily's bag and pulled it off her shoulder the minute they got out of the classroom. "What did you do that for?" asked Lily turning around to face Kat.

Kat was surprised. Lily actually made her wait this long for an answer. "You know why I did it! So how long have you noticed I sort of liked him." She asked walking to the common room with Lily at her side.

Lily laughed then said "I noticed this morning when you kissed his cheek. I mean that was crazy!"

Kat walked into a shortcut and said "Hey, that was only to play with his emotions. I didn't like him then!"

"So you admit it! You do like him!" said Lily with a defining screech.

Kat was stuck. Lily knew and she had to admit to it. "Okay fine. I like him a little. But it's not like I have a huge crush on him!"

Lily grabbed Kat's wrist and pulled her out of the passage "So, what is your favorite quality about him? I mean I can't believe that you like him, but still tell me what it is?"

"That is a good question" Kat said looking behind her for four boys were walking behind them. "I don't know, but I think we should finish this conversation later." She tilted her head back and Lily saw the four boys running up behind Kat. One of them with long black hair came made a shushing face to Lily. Lily understood this and continued talking with Kat. "Oh" she said.

Suddenly Kat screamed and shot a spell back at Sirius. "Why you filthy little . . . Why did you do that to me?"

Sirius was against the back wall staring at Kat with a stunned expression. He got up slowly then walked over to James. He whispered something in his ear then walked over to Kat and Lily. "Well I thought you needed a little laugh, anyway it was that or something else."

"Like what?" said Kat turning to face him.

"Something" he said turning to Remus and James who smiled. James nodded in approval, but Remus was a bit more hesitant.

Kat was annoyed, not just at the fact he wouldn't tell her, but because he had just scared her half to death. She looked down at her fingernails. They were black. "Hm. . ." she said getting looks from everyone except from James. He being her cousin knew what her fingers did and was ready for her to attack. "I guess I will disserve it" she said telling Lily to get ready to run. "I mean I know your weakness, and I guess I can play on it."

Sirius turned to James who frowned, but Remus looked down at his prefect badge then smiled. James or Remus could easily put her into a detention if he had to Sirius thought. "So then, I can play on your weaknesses too?" he said walking up to her. James had just grabbed Lily's hand and dragged her off into a different corridor, while Remus followed them smirking.

"I guess so" said Kat noticing Lily being pulled by the arm by James. "Hey where is he taking Lil-"

She was cut off by Sirius. He was walking towards her and got her into the corner. " Tell me" he said warily, with a sneaky grin on his face, "do you like me?"

He was getting closer to her now. She could see all of his eyelashes and his perfect hair was hanging down into his face. She didn't like how he tricked her, but decide to play on it. "Um. . ." she said talking a step to the left away from the corner. " I don't really know" she managed to get past Sirius and force him back into the corner. "But I know you like me" she said getting closer to him now. Her chocolate brown hair dangling from her ears, she got close enough to kiss, but just breathed. Making him go mad was her plan. "I know what you are trying to do" she said barley missing his mouth. "But it won't work" she backed away from him and ran after James and Lily but halted once she saw them.

Lily was in the same position she was just in except she had her wand out. Her wand was right at James' stomach and she was ready to attack, but Kat got there first. She ran over to James and pulled him away from Lily. "JAMES POTTER!" she yelled " You and your friends will never try and do that to us again! Got it?"

James noticing her nails turning a darker shade of black backed up then said to Lily. "Sorry Lils, didn't mean-"

"Yeah right you didn't mean to! You and your friend Sirius here tried to make us fall for you! But guess what! That is never going to happen!" Kat was crying now, she hated being upset with her family and James knew that.

Lily grabbed Kats arm and dragged her into the common room then up to the girls dormitory just as James said "Kat let me talk to you about this!" but Kat didn't care. She didn't want to talk to James, Remus or Sirius.

Lily and Kat made their way up into their room before Kat flung herself onto her bed crying. She hated him for this. "I hate him, I hate him, I hate him!" she roared.

"Hate who?" said Lily walking over to Kat giving her a handkerchief.

"All of them. Especially Sirius!" she said taking the handkerchief away from Lily and blowing her nose. "He is such a foul git! Why did I even like him in the first place?"

Lily understood what she meant. She felt the same way about James except for the fact that she has never liked him. "I know Kat. It's alright" she said.
