The next morning, Katherine woke up early for her first day. Pulling on her robes, she made her way out of the dorm, and down the stairs. Making her way through the portrait hole, Katherine ran down the maze of stairs and into the Great Hall.
At seven-thirty, only a few students sat at their tables. A few teachers sat at the front of the Great Hall, watching over them, as they ate. Katherine took a seat at the Gryffindor table, and picked up a piece of toast. As she buttered it, she heard chatter comming into the hall. Seconds later, two people sat down on either side of her.
Katherine jumped, dropping the knife on her skirt. Dropping the toast onto her plate, she quickly picked the knife up and dropped it onto the table. Turning to her left, she glared at the person next to her.
"What is your problem?" she asked, as the boy grabbed a few pieces of toast for himself.
He turned to look at her, "I'm hungry. That's the problem," he said, before shoving the toast into his mouth.
Katherine turned to her right, and let out a shout. For the boy on her right, looked just like the boy on her left. Looking back at forth at the two of them, she suddenly realized that they were the same boys from last night.
"Oi Gred, I think we scare her," the one of the right said, with a smirk.
"I think your mug scares her, Forge," the other said.
"You're Fred and George Weasley," Katherine said, looking back at her plate.
They both looked at each other in shock, before looking back at Katherine.
"How did you know that?" George asked, in awe.
Katherine rolled her eyes, and looked at him. She felt her face flush, when their eyes met. Despite the fact that he was a twin, there was something different about him. There was a twinkle in his eyes, that made him more mysterious, that his brother. And the flutter in her chest, wasn't helping.
"I- I was here last night. You're the only set of twins that attend Hogwarts," she said.
"Are we now?" George asked, with a grin.
Suddenly, three girls and a boy sat down at the table.
"Oi, where were you this morning?" Angelina asked, looking at Katherine.
"She's one of the early birds," Katie said, pouring pumpkin juice into a glass.
Professor McGonagall came by the table, holding a stack of parchments.
"Here are your class schedules. I expect that you will attend all of your classes, on time. Have a good day," she said, after placing the schedules down onto the table. George picked them up and handed them out, before reading his own.
Fred groaned, "Double Transfiguration!"
George looked at Katherine's schedule, and smirked. "Kat here has the same classes as we do," he said.
Katherine looked at him, and he nodded, handing her his schedule. Sure enough, they were in every class together. The girls exchanged their schedules and saw that, they too had the same classes.
"Lee here has the same classes as well," Fred said, as the boy with the dreadlocks smiled.
"So I guess we're stuck together," Alicia said, with a sigh.
"What's so bad about that?" Lee asked, frowning.
The twins laughed, "We could all tryout for Quidditch. I'm sure the lot of us, could take down the other houses," George said.
Katherine cleared her throat, as she picked up her glass of pumpkin juice. After taking a sip, she set it down, and picked up a few pieces of toast. Wrapping them up in a napkin, she stood up.
"We better get going! Don't want to be late on our first day!" she said, picking her bag up.
