I grinned to the boy, James Potter in front of me and made a small and weird reference making him burst out laughing, I pouted

"Forgive me of not knowing how royalty greets strangers" I told him, amusement hiding behind my purse eyes. He looked up smiling in amusement

"Royalty? Come on, you don't even believe that" He said teasingly, i narrowed my eyes opening my mouth for a comeback but unfortunately nothing came, i closed my mouth shrugging

"Nop, I don't. But I wanted to say that" I said uninterested, blinking once. He blinked back and we both stared at each other for a few seconds before he smiled widely

"I like you" I raised an eyebrow tilting my head aside waiting to see if he realized what he said, he didn't "Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked mocking my expression. I gasped mocking offense placing a hand on my heart

"Are you mocking me?" I asked. I shrugged after a moment "My brother's better at that"

He nodded sighing in disappointment and we stayed quiet for a few seconds

"No, but seriously. I like you. If you were someone else you'll be staring at me like if I'm crazy" he grinned making me chuckle

"It's because you are crazy" I shrugged smirking

"It takes one to know one" James smirked back

"Touché" I smirked. He's right, I do like him. We can be friends after this, right? He's cool.

I heard a explosion and I snapped my head towards the noise, James doing the same and I glanced at him. We nodded once and we headed to the place

There was an adult woman on the floor with red ice cream on her head, a younger kid next to her laughing in the floor.

I clicked my tongue shaking my head

"I can do better" I said and widened my eyes when I heard James saying the same. I turned to face him wide eyed "So you like pranks?!" We asked at the same time and gasped pointing at each other grinning "I love them!"

I smiled widely "Brother! Where have you been my entire life?!" I exclaimed exactly at the same time than James "Sister! Where have you been my entire life?!"

I grinned and opened my mouth to say something when I hear mom's voice

"Kate!? Where are you!?"

I looked around and when I spotted her i waved at her changing my hair to a bright blue so she could easily find me. She sighed in relief once she saw me and made her way towards me. I turned to James smiling. He stared at my hair smiling

"You are a metamorphmagus?" He asked me in excitement, he had seen me before in the alley so that's why he wasn't surprised.

"Yeah, I am" I grinned.

"James, where are you, young man?!" I looked behind James to see a woman looking around.

I smirked when I hear James' name. I leaned to him whispering "Two galleons she's your mom"

He narrowed his eyes, I grinned as my hair turned purple. My eyes turning Hazel. My favorite combination

"Not fair" he pouted. He smirked raising an eyebrow "Two galleons that the woman who yelled your name earlier is your mom"

I pouted once I realized I lost but I chuckled after realizing something two seconds later

"Aw, not fair. I didn't win anything" I said pouting

James laughed holding up his hand smugly "You didn't. But I did so pay up"

I shook my head, now feeling smug "I won't pay you anything"

"Sore loser. Pay up. I won" He told me frowning. I smirked tilting my head aside

"But I won first" I singsonged raising my eyebrows smugly. He gaped at me before smiling

"Yep. I was right. You and I are gonna be best friends" He told me clapping excitedly

I looked at him weirdly. "You didn't say anything" i pointed out. He shrugged

"I didn't say it out loud"

"Touché" I said smiling

I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up behind me seeing my mom. I smiled at her and looked at James, my head tilted aside "You were right"

He nodded. I smiled slightly seeing a woman behind him about to place her hand on his shoulder. I grinned nodding behind him and I turned to my mom

"There you are Katie, I've been looking for you. Did you get your wand?" She asked me sweetly, I nodded showing her my wand. She smiled but furrowed her eyebrows noticing my hair. "Okay, what did you do?" She asked placing her hands in her hips. I blinked at her smiling innocently

"Me? I haven't done anything" a scoff behind me made my mom raise an eyebrow and I frowned looking behind me at James who whistled looking innocent upwards. I glared at him just like the woman next to him. The woman sensing my gaze looked up and smiled softly at me. I smiled back but turned my gaze to James glaring at him "What are you laughing at?" I asked crossing my arms but finding amusing the situation.

"Me? Nothing" James said innocently pointing at himself pretending not knowing me. I scoffed and looked back at mom who tilted her head aside expectantly

"Seriously Kate, what did you do?" She asked again. I pouted innocently

"I didn't do anything mom" I said sweetly. She narrowed her eyes and nodded her head at James

"And why did he laugh when I asked you?"

I shrugged raising my hand to my head and making the 'He's crazy' sign with it. "He doesn't know where he has his head, poor little guy" I said sadly shaking my head "He doesn't know what he is saying or doing"

Someone laughed lightly behind me and I turned around seeing the woman next to James, (probably his mom) laughing in amusement. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion but couldn't help amusement shown in my eyes. James next to her scowled crossing his arms. I grinned at him making him glare at me playfully.

"Oh, I guess I know the problem" She said gently once she stopped laughing. She looked at me with a pointed look "What do we have in here? Another troublemaker, I guess?" She asked in amusement. Mom sighed and I shook my head at her opening my mouth in disbelief.

"You have no idea" mom murmured in amusement, I looked at her in mock offense placing a hand on my heart

"I'm not a troublemaker, mom" I told her narrowing my eyes and looked at James' mom, "I'm not" I said innocently

"Of course not, you don't have the mischievous glint in your eyes every time to make a prank as James, do you?" She asked me kindly, I frowned pouting. I looked at James, who was smirking at me, I clicked my tongue shaking my head opening my mouth to answer his mom but she cut me off "Of course you do! I'm already seeing you as James' best friend" she nodding her head at him, I exchanged a grin with James. She stepped forward holding her hand "I'm Dorea Potter, I'm James mom" I shook her hand, she shook mom's too

"I'm Claire Marshall, nice to meet you" mom told her kindly and then sighed "I guess I'm not the only one with a child who loves trouble" she looked at me in amusement, Mrs Potter laughed shaking her head

"No, I guess you're not. He's been a troublemaker since he learned to walk" she said amused, mom laughed shaking her head

"Yes, she's been a troublemaker since she started walking and more when she discovered her hair and eyes could change its color" Mom told Mrs Potter and then looked at me frowning "What did the Professor called you, Kate? It's a weird name"

"Metamorphmagus, mom" I grinned, she nodded in remembrance. Mrs Potter frowned at us

"You are a muggle-born, sweetie?" She asked me. She looked at mom "You are muggle, dear?"

"Yes we are. Is there a problem?" I snapped. I couldn't help it. After I bought my wand I had heard other wizards saying bad things about muggles and muggle-borns like myself and mom and I didn't take it lightly they were insult us. More at mom.

Mrs Potter frowned slightly surprised for my outburst. Her eyes softened and she looked down at me softly

"No, honey, there isn't a problem. It's nice, actually" she told me softly, my eyes softened and I looked down biting my lip ashamed for acting that way and I grabbed my mom's hand. She smiled a small concerned smile.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you" I told her, my hair changing to a mix of blue and pink "It's just... I heard other people saying bad things about muggle and muggle-borns and I thought you would too, I'm sorry" They looked at me with understanding

"We're not like that, Ms I-think-there-are-weird-fighting-stances-in-a-magic-duel" James told me chuckling

I laughed remembering our conversation we had earlier when I saw his wand.

Our moms furrowed their eyebrows in confusion but then shrugged

"James is right Kate, we are different from those wizards. We don't care if you are a muggle-born" Mrs Potter told me. I smiled, my hair changing to a bright blonde, "Aw, are you excited?" She asked, I nodded. She smiled "Metamorphmagus are like open books. You can easily know what they're feeling depending on what color their eyes and hair change"

"We know, Dumby told us" I said smiling, mom smacked my arm scolding me

"Kate!"

I smiled sheepishly "Sorry, Professor Dumbledore told us" I laughed nervously looking up at them, James laughed shaking his head.

"Yep. We are going to get along pretty well" he told me smiling, I smiled back.

Mom smiled happily seeing I was making friend. She sighed tiredly

"Well, sweetheart. We must go now if you want to pack and not do it at the last minute"

I nodded and looked back at my new friend and his mom

"Like my dear mother just said. We must go because we must muggle-walk to home"

They laughed shaking their heads. Ms Potter smiled at me

"There isn't such a thing as muggle-walk, dear. But it was nice to meet you, Kate. I hope to see you soon" She told me and gave me a hug. I smiled startled but hugged back. She pulled away and hugged my mom.

I looked at James grinning

"See you at King Cross, my new friend" He told me waving at me. I waved back and mom and I left Diagon Alley happy for making a friend who likes to do the same as I do.

His mom is right. I do see myself as James Potter's best friend
