''Uncle Vernon! Aunt Petunia! I have made a friend and invited her over. For an hour or two.'' Harry shouts as we step into the abnormally neat house. It's way too neat for my liking.
''What?! Your kind?!'' A sour posh voice came from the kitchen.
''What do you mean by his kind?'' I ask kindly. She walks out and gasps when she sees me.
''Aren't you the child that parents got murdered by that serial killer?''
''Yeah.'' I reply, looking sadly down. They looked like sour muggles. I took it she was Aunt Petunia. She hugged me and invited me into the living room and shouts Dudley. I take a sit and the man, who I take it to be Uncle Vernon, looks over at me from his newspaper. He grunt's hello and reads again. I left all my things outside with a invisible shield over everything. I have my handbag though. Dudley walks in and I nearly burst into giggles when I see him. He has blond hair, which looks like a wig, he's extremely fat, he has watery blue eyes and he grunts hello.
''Hello, I politely say, with only a faint smile on my face and I hold out my hand firmly to be shaken. He ignores it and looks down. I pull my arm to my side.
''I'm Dudley.'' He says.
''What's your full name dear?'' Aunt Petunia asks of me.
''I'm Katrina Lilith Cyrus, but I prefer the nickname Kathy. People call me hurricane, I hate it.'' I say, smiling. She laughs.
''Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans disaster? Yeah I've heard of that.'' She smiles and wonders into the kitchen. Dudley sits where I was sitting.
''I thought that was your seat Dudley?'' Harry asks, pointing to a chair by Uncle Vernon.
''I'm gonna sit here idiot.'' Dudley growls.
''Please may I have my seat back?'' I ask politely.
''She's probably a freak like you Harry? A very idiotic one like you too.''
''Shut up.'' I say. ''Please, what did I or Harry ever do to you?'' I ask. He punches me, I gasp in shock and he trips me up and wonders to the other side of the room. I clutch my broken nose, it bleeds onto my denim shorts and white owl top. My kneazle starts growling at the door and smashes through the window and starts attacking Dudley. I laugh quick and call off Dusk. He has a scratch across his face. A very small one. He starts wailing for his mummy. I snigger and Harry looks entertained.
''What are you smirking at boy?!'' Demands Petunia at Harry as she rushes in. ''Oh my little Duddykins! Who did this?!'' Dudley points at my now invisible animal at my feet.
She looks at me and screams.
''Blood! What happened?!''
''He punched me then tripped me up.'' I say and Petunia looks at me if I'm mad. I think episky and my nose fixes itself. I want the blood to clear up and I whisper ''Cleario.'' Petunia doesn't hear me. There is no sign of me being injured. She gasps. ''I can heal myself.'' I say an she points to the door. Harry hugs me and Petunia looks horrified. I beam at him
''Thank you for inviting me over.'' I say and smile and hug Petunia. She pats my back and I walk out, my kneazle appears again and purrs, hopping into my arms. I open the door and collect up my things. It's nearly dark. I step into a shadow and lean against the wall of the house. I wish I could be in the park where I was before. I think this and open my eyes. I blink and rub my eyes. I look around and gasp and step out a different shadow. I'm in the park that I wished to be in.
I prop my stuff by the swings and I see the same red haired twins on that bench conversing with each over.
''I say we plan a few pranks before we go to Hogwarts. Maybe those fireworks again?''
'' Maybe several pranks involving me?'' I laugh. They look back at me.
''How did you get here? We didn't see you pass or hear the really creaky gate open?'' Shouted the boy who I recognise as George. I tap my nose and jump off the swing. I stay in the air for longer than I should do, so I take the moment to do the splits in the air and land like a cat. They go wide eyed. I approach them.
''I don't actually know. I shadow walked. You are Fred and George Weasley right?'' I ask. They look at me weirdly.
''Oh yeah! You're the girl from yesterday.''
''Yeah, do you know what a muggle is. I need to test something.'' I say.
''Yeah, why? What is your name?''
''My full name or nickname?''
''Both.'' They say in sync. I sit down on the bench beside them, it's quite chilly.
''Here, borrow my jacket.'' I think the twin, who is George says. He takes it off and gives it to me.
''Thanks.'' I say gratefully. I pat my lap and my kneazle appears out of mid air by the swing and starts sniffing the twins, ready to attack.
''Their friends.'' I say. Dusk jumps on my lap and the two red haired boy's look at it with awe in their eyes. I laugh and ruffle dusks fur. ''Anyway I'm Katrina Lilith Cyrus, but please call me Kathy. Most people make fun of me because my name is also a name of a hurricane and I tend to set things on fire and am able to put them out. I can change the weather too.'' I say. They look at me.
''Cool.''
''Do you know what muggles are then. Because I asked you too, please reply and also I really need to urgently need to find out something.''
''Yeah, muggles are- their non-magic people.'' Fred whispered, putting an arm around me in a friendly way. I nod and hug them both.
''You two are wizards right.'' I say. They nod, looking alarmed. ''Didn't you get told, I'm the witch whose coming to live with you.''
''Oh wicked! We're gonna have so much fun! You're in Hogwarts first year right?'' They stand up and Dusk jumps onto my shoulder and curls up.
''Yep!'' I shout, laughing. They grin and take my hand as I stand up. I open up my hand and my bags come zooming to me. They widen their eyes. ''Yeah, I can do wandless magic, I won't have the trace on wandless magic, only when I do have a wand.'' I say. They look amazed.
''Keep still and I can shadow walk to our house.'' I say.
''Please can one of you take this bag?'' I ask. The bag's getting too heavy and I'm pretty strong.
''Yeah,'' I hand them the bag as they nod. George gasps.'' Merlin this bags heavy? Can I see what's in it?!'' He asks. I laugh.
''Nosy! But yeah, if you guys want.'' I say. They open it and their eyes widen.
''Whoa! This is even more money than we have in our vault! You have this much to spend and take out?!''
''Yeah, that's nothing to what's in my vault. I have the second biggest vault in Gringotts and my vault is filled and every time you open it coins cascade out. I need a bigger vault. Do you wanna know my balance?''
''Okay! Whoa!'' They exclaim. I laugh. And take out a strip of paper that magically tells you your balance in your vault in Gringotts.
''My balance is nine hundred and ninety eight thousand galleons, two hundred thousand sickles and seventy million knuts.''
''Whoa! That's a huge amount! I don't think I've ever heard anyone with that amount! You must be the richest witch or wizard in the world!''
I laugh. ''I know I was shocked when I saw my amount of gold. I look at the paper and the numbers are changing to a bigger number. Two hundred galleons in, comes up on the paper. I gasp.
''Someone's got another key to my vault. That must mean a relative.'' I say with tears in my eyes, they hug me. ''Let's shadow walk.'' I weep, smiling now. The tears dry up and I want to be at the Weasley household. I open my eyes and Fred, George and me are all standing outside a crocked, odd looking building, that looked as if it was held up by magic, mind you it probably was and I sighed.
''Sorry it's not much but yeah, this is our house; The Burrow.''
''I think it's awesome.'' I say, grinning from cheek to cheek.
''Wicked.''
''Oh! There you are you three! Hello Katrina dear!'' A kind looking short woman hurried out, hugging me. ''So you've got your supplies!''
''Uh huh.'' I say with a smile. ''Please call me Kathy. I prefer the shorter name.'' I say. She nods and Ginny rushes out.
''So your Katrina! Hey! We met yesterday in the park. I knew you being able to blow up bushes and leaves and stop the fire and watch them regrow wasn't normal!'' She laughs. I chuckle. Closing my eyes, I set some bushes on fire near the house and Mr Weasley comes out the house and shrieks in fear. I put the fire out and everybody applauds as the fire has no harm. My leopard thing jumps onto Ginny. She laughs and I warn dusk to care as she's a friend. An owl comes my way and I catch the letter as the owl turns around. I open it.
''You are to stay with the Weasley's. They do not know your true background. Only one two pureblood families do, The Malfoy's and The Blacks. It will be kept secret. I know you wish to know your origin's but for the time now, to keep you safe, you're a pureblood and not related to any living pureblood relation's. You may be related very distantly from the Slewyn background, this is to be verified. Please do not do anything absurd to look for your true family. It will reveal itself in time.
Albus Dumbledore. '' The letter rip's itself up and bursts into flames. Molly takes me in. I keep a fixed true smile on my face.
''Your room is to be shared with Ginny. Do anything you want to it. I'm not sure if your bed will fit in it.'' She says.
''Don't worry I'll see to it.'' I say, Ginny takes my hand and we run upstairs. I leave my stuff in the cosy kitchen. She opens the door.
''All your stuff is in the living room. It wouldn't fit in here.'' She says.
I wave my hand.
''Incresio!'' I say and Ginny gasps in delight as the room increases to ten times the original size. ''It will look the same on the outside.'' I say, smiling she hug's me. Now the room is huge, about the same size as a mansions Queen-size bedroom. ''Spells just come to me.'' I say.
''Your so going to be in Gryffindor!'' She laughs. I smile.
''I'm not sure, probably Hufflepuff the place for dim wit's.'' I mutter.
''Na, you're really clever. '' She laughs. An owl comes through the window. A speaking letter fly's through the window.
''GUESS WHAT! You'll Never! I never knew we were witches! Isn't it awesome! Turns out The Order Of The Phoenix murdered my evil parents. TOOTP were against the dark lord. My parents were all for him. I was put in an orphanage and Dumbledore made me live with another pureblood family. I get to live in a huge mansion! Dumbledore told me your background and promised me not to tell you! I knew blowing up speakers in the ballet studio wasn't normal! Anyway, I get to live with this family and they have a really gorgeous son. He's an only child as well! He's a real charmer, note the sarcasm. He's just a bully but he is so hot! My room is huge too! See you on Platform nine and three quarters! Love your best friend Shannon!'' The letter laughed and floated onto the floor. I grinned and started dancing around. Ginny looked surprised. I giggled girlishly.
''Oh yes!'' I shouted and slipped into the splits and burst into laughter.
''That looked painful.'' Ginny laughs as I fall. I shake my head.
''Not anymore!'' I laugh and give Ginny a hug. ''I need to go get my stuff.'' I say and run out the room, Ginny tailing me. I grab my bedframe. George Weasley helps and gasps when he sees the size of my room.
''That's huge! How did you do that?!''
''Don't know.'' I say and shrug my shoulders. I put up my bed and run downstairs to get my mattress. I make mine and Ginny's beds Queen-sized. My bed is a high bed. I increase the height of the ceiling. Ginny laughs. I wish for there to be another room attached to this room, and to not affect the house from the outside. That would be the wardrobe. I open my eyes and a door appears. I open it and a small room has hangers and rails and draws. I gasp. I did it! I'm amazing. Ginny smirks and gives me a hug.
''What colour do you want the room to be?'' I ask.
''Can you fade colours?'' She asks. I nod.'' Amazing, Let's paint this room a light blue and a colour of your choice?''
''That's a cool idea Ginny! How about light blue into a lilac colour?''
''Brilliant!''
''Just to warn you, all my furniture is black.''
''Goth.'' She smirks as a joke. I laugh back at her. We fall in heaps of laughter. I walk out the room with Ginny.
''Fred, George?'' I ask, I could hear bangs from inside.
They walk out and close the door behind them.
''Yeah Kathy?''
''Please could you help me and Ginny lift my furniture upstairs?''
''Yeah sure!'' They laugh. We walk down the steep staircase and we haul my stuff upstairs. It takes two hours and I'm terribly tired. Ginny falls asleep as soon as she hits her bed. I put on my pj's and leave my furniture scattered everywhere.
My first conclusion of the day is crap, birds must like me. I'm once again awoken by a pecking on me. I'm in that huge room that I made yesterday. The bird is a gorgeous tawny owl.
I pick up the letter and hurry down and Drag my chair from the other side of the room to my desk. I rummage through my bag's from yesterday and find my own self spelling quill and one out of ten pots of ink. I read the letter. It's from Shannon.
Hey Kat!
Hey! Why haven't you replied? You're probably very busy. I've been told that you're staying in a dump at the Weasley's. Are they pureblood? Anyway what's your room like. Is it absolutely tiny? I have a unicorn hair wand. What type is your wand? I stay in a room next to that bully's. He is really hot though. I'm! rich! I've got like, the eightieth biggest vault in Gringotts and theirs tens of thousands there Please reply and answer all my questions. What type of abilities have you got? I'm really curious about you now. Sorry if I'm appearing really snobbish. I think this family is rubbing off on me! Love you Bestie! See you soon from Shaz! AKA Shannon Amelia Slewyn.
PS: MY OWL IS CALLED HELLO! OSH! BEAT 'DAT! LOLZ GALORE! OSH! OSH! OSH! YEAH!
I reply, holding my quill in my right hand. My writing so neat and posh it's ridiculous!
Hey Shaz!
You're awesome. Love ya too Bestie! Yeah, I've been so busy. The Weasley's are so fun! I haven't had so much fun in my life! Apart from blowing up speakers and scaring all the ballerina's in the studio or seeing Ella run and complain to her best friend Charlene that I'm such a party pooper after I retort to her insults. Yeah, the Weasley's are Pureblood but I don't see why it matters too much. My room was miniature when I got to the Weasley's but then I wished for it to be bigger and it did! I can also do wandless magic. I have the most powerful wand in Olivanders wand shop! Yeah, so I and Ginny share a room, it's like the size of a mansion's Queen sized room. I created a walk in wardrobe! I have all my original furniture and I'm going to make some more! I need a bigger bookcase! Oh and ones just appeared. *Rolls eyes* and smirks cheekily at you. My wand is a triple core of unicorn hair, Dragon Heartstring and Phoenix feather. It's eleven and three quarters and its English Oak, unyielding. I'm rich too! The goblin opened my vault and galleons cascaded out! I have the second biggest vault in Gringotts. Someone mysterious is also putting galleons in my vault. Someone put two hundred in it earlier. My balance is ninety thousand and one hundred and twenty nine galleons, two hundred thousand sickles and seventy million knuts. Told you I'm rich!*Laughs*. I'm absurdly excited! I can shadow walk, do wandless magic and I'm very logical. And of course, as you know, very flexible. As I wrote earlier love you bestie. Friends forever! See you soon Kathy or Kat, AKA Katrina Lilith Cyrus- unknown surname; cover name.
PS: OSH! LOL! See Ya!
Ginny stirs and wakes up. I screw the lid back on my ink and send the letter off with that tawny owl, who my bestie named Hello. I take off my ink and shove it all my might, my desk. I shove it at the end of my bed. It actually went to plan! Ginny smirks at me and I beam back. She laughs. I raise an eyebrow. She raises both. I raise both and widen my eyes, still smiling. Then I blink. She win's. We burst into laughter. I move my furniture around and it looks awesome. I look at Ginny and she claps and climbs out of bed. I make windows appear in random places and it looks even more awesome. There's loads of space for a whole wall of mirrors in an open plan mini ballet studio.
''I can teach you to dance. Also take out your clothes and put them in there.'' I say, pointing to the extra small room, which is a rather large wardrobe. She grins and then laughs and starts taking out her clothes and putting them in the small room. I run downstairs, sliding down the winding banister. Oh that is so much fun! I grab all my five boxes of clothes, too small and fitting and pull them upstairs into my wardrobe. I also wish the walls to turn blue and lilac faded and they look amazing. I rearrange my beanbag, sofa and make up station and hang up my three tutu's and my ballet shoes on a hook by the mini open plan ballet studio, bedroom. I fix up my television and increase its size and it's now a cinema sized screen. Ginny gasps when she sees it. I arrange the cushions on my sofa and we are done! It looks absolutely fabulous!
''I also have some nice clothes that you will love!'' I say. She's stunned. To be honest, I'm stunned myself. I pull out a small stone in my pocket. My wishing stone is amazing. Ginny walks into the wardrobe and laughs
when I wave on a light and wish for a window. The window appears. I smirk. I take out seven t-shirts, three skirts, five dresses, four jumpers and seven pairs of trousers. I also pick up five pairs of shorts. ''All of these are too small, would you like them?'' I ask, looking at her baggy joggy bottoms and her large colour faded t-shirt.
''That would be amazing!'' Cry's Ginny in delight. ''I've never had so many clothes In my life! Thanks!''
''My pleasure!'' I cry and she examines a pale pink floaty spaghetti strap dress, which has thin belt loops and a black belt. She tries it on and although it clashes very slightly with Ginny's vibrant red hair it looks good. She tries on a pair of waist high denim shorts and a yellow part lace crop top. It used to be one of my favourite's and only suits slim people. Ginny looks amazing in it- she looks like she's about twelve or thirteen like I do but oh well. I give her a pair of yellow sunglasses to complete the look. I dress in a pair of black denim high waist shorts and I wear cool no sleeved neon blue top complete the look. I and Ginny also wear some skin coloured tights. She's more tanned than me, I have the lightest shade possible. I also wear my favourite open toe blue wedges. I wear my blue sunglasses. This shape is in muggle trend at the moment and looks awesome. My stomach shoes slightly but I'm very slim so that's cool. We look awesome together. I lend Ginny a pair of yellow open toe wedges. We walked out and I handed Ginny a small pot of mascara. I have such a grown up and sophisticated sense of fashion for my age it's amazing.
''What is it?'' She asks.
''Mascara.'' I say. She smiles.
''Keep your eyes open and let me apply it, but wash it off before you go to bed otherwise you'll have panda eyes.'' I say, she laughs.
''Sounds like one of Fred and George's practical jokes.'' She grins.
''Good point, but honestly. It makes your eyes look bigger and your eye lashes bigger. Your eyes are an amazing chocolate brown.'' I say.
''Thanks, your eyes change, yesterday they were a hazel, they are a bright green today.'' She says. I smile.
''Yeah they change. Don't know why.'' I smirk. She laughs back. Ginny's so awesome. She lets me comb her hair into a high ponytail and I do mine like that too, only I have a side fringe to comb. I brush it and its so puffy today. My fringe stay's in place without having to use hairspray. Although I'm a small height for a muggle my age, I'm quite tall for a witch. I twirl my ponytail subconsciously with my long lean fingers.
''Should we go downstairs Ginny?'' I ask and as we are about to open the door Ron opens it. Followed by Fred, George and Mrs Weasley, Mr Weasley walks upstairs too.
''You two look fabulous! Where did you, Ginny, get that outfit? It looks very expensive!''
''Oh! It used to be Kathy's; it's too small for her. '' Fred and George walk in.
''Whoa! How the Merlin did you make this; we were outside and we saw no difference?'' Fred gasped. George was stunned.
''It was all Kathy's doing. I helped her chose the colour theme but she did the rest.''
''What's that thing on the wall?'' Asked George. The whole family walk in and looks puzzled.
''Oh that! It's a television. You can watch programs on it; usually their about and eighth of the size. I increased the size so that it's like a muggle cinema. Only I forgot the speakers. You can watch pictures move and hear them talk.
''Pictures do move though!'' Shouts Arthur. I smile.
''Really?!'' I cry. ''They're still in the muggle world.'' I say and wish for a ballet poster to appear on the wall. She stay's still, glazed and beautiful. It's off swan-lake. I switch on the television and conjure speakers in all corners of the room. I put on a video of me doing ballet. I pause it.
''Is that what all muggles do?'' Asks Molly, puzzled.
''Oh no, it's only certain people. I've improved since then.'' I say. I quickly do a dance from swan lake. I finish in th split's. Ginny tries and is about one foot off the floor.
''It hurts, for beginners.'' I say and do a range of gymnastics. Ginny can't do any. Molly laughs and everyone claps. Ginny hurries up and hug's me. I hug her back. I switch off the television. ''You can watch anything.'' I say, gaining the family's intent attention.
Shannon's owl comes soaring in and the family look curious as the letter speaks. It reads out our previous letters to each over.
''GUESS WHAT! You'll Never! I never knew we were witches! Isn't it awesome! Turns out The Order Of The Phoenix murdered my evil parents. TOOTP were against the dark lord. My parents were all for him. I was put in an orphanage and Dumbledore made me live with another pureblood family. I get to live in a huge mansion! Dumbledore told me your background and promised me not to tell you!

Hey Hurricane!
I know you don't like that nickname but I've just been teasing that bully who sleeps next door. You are amazing! I found out where I'm staying and living with! I just can't remember the name! They're really awesome! Did I mention that?! You are so powerful! You're vault that's just wow! I found out that the family have the biggest vault in Gringotts but you are easily as rich as them, or us should I say. I love blowing up speakers! You are amazing at magic! Plus you're wand is epic! Did you know that is a very powerful wand wood? I have to laugh. Mr Ollivander told me to stay faithful to the light did he tell you? My wands a dragon heartstring 11 ¾ and its rosewood. Super rare! Yours is rarer though! Come over to my house; Narcissa has allowed you to come over to visit me. She's heard your owl. You have such a loud voice! God Kat! Love you come over at eleven, hope to see you in person from Shannon! Plus meet me in that field that we accidently found ourselves in the other day! ''
The letter floated onto my desk and the owl sat near me. My leopard woke up and jumped near the owl, stretched and lay on my lap. Silence took hold.
''Please can I then? ''I ask. Molly bursts into laughter. Then the whole family.
''We hear your whole conversation and you ask if you can go over?'' Ron chortled.
''She's gonna be a super not innocent pranker! So Gryffindor!'' The twin's smirked and high fived each over.
''Yes certainly dear, of course you can, but I warn you. Tread carefully. Oh yeah and when you go to Hogwarts, please do not be absorbed by their ridiculous pranks!''
''Yes Mrs Weasley. Thank you!'' I say and hug her.
''Feel free to call us Molly and Arthur.'' Molly smiled kindly. ''Oh yes and congratulations on a beautiful piece of magic. So wonderful!''
''Thank you Molly, Arthur. '' I say. They all walk out mine and Ginny's awesome magicked up room. I slip on a black denim jacket with rolled up sleeves. I do the buttons up and I look pretty cool. I put in some blue rose earring's and I take a slice of toast when I get downstairs, which Molly offers me. I blush and smirk as the twin's cat call and wolf whistle. I must be as red as strawberry by now.
''Thank you for making me look like a red tomato!'' I say to them. They laugh.
''You look good.'' Ron comments, I laugh.
''Thanks.'' I say.
''Ginny looks so grown up!'' Molly sighs. ''So do you!'' She laughs gesturing to the only two girls apart from Molly herself, in the house.
''Be back at six.'' Arthur smiles kindly at me.
''I'll be back at six, after all it is only eleven.'' I say. Dusk, my leopard jumps on me from nowhere. I hold her and set off.
''Bye!'' I shout to everyone as I shadow walk to the field in the middle of nowhere than I and Shannon somehow found ourselves in one day when she blew up the speakers in ballet again. Shannon wait's, leaning against a huge oak tree.
''Use this. We're flying.'' She smirks, handing me a nimbus 2001. ''Knew you'd come!''
I laugh. ''I wouldn't miss this for the world. ''She hugs me.
''I've missed you so much! I know so much about you, yet you can't be told! What a cute thing!'' She laughs.
''Right, do you know how to fly?''
''No.'' I say.
''Sit on the end and grip it like this.'' She says.'' I do it a different way to my new family. I'm so forgetful; I can never remember their names! All I can remember is Narcissa and Lucius. My guardians names.''
''Right, correct. Now sit on it and hope for it to go up like so.'' She says. No muggles would be able to see us because of where we are. She rises, wobbling slightly. I want to go up and I rise effortlessly and circle a little bit. ''You're a natural! Let's go! Follow me!'' She shouts and I follow her to a huge white mansion, also in the middle of nowhere, my leopard clings to me for dear life. It's a cool breezy summer's day, and it ruffles Dusk's fur but it's rather chilly, like the usual British weather. We travel very far and an hour later I stumble off the broom, feeling rather dizzy. The huge wooden doors open. I hold onto Dusk.
''Narcissa, Lucius, this is my best friend Katrina Lilith Cyrus, who prefers to be known as Kathy only. But she really doesn't mind being called Katrina in most cases.'' Shannon announces. It's funny because you can immediately tell that Shannon isn't related to the family. They all have white blonde hair and grey eyes. I'm assuming their child does too. Shannon has very long and thick dark brown hair and huge blue eyes. She's very pale too, as is her new family. She used to live in an orphanage so this huge mansion is a bit different to the orphanage she's used to. She's taken to the luxuries though; her skin looks amazing and she looks very refreshed and her clothes are all very expensive brands. They allow us entry.
''friends.'' I whisper to Dusk and she snuffles into me further.
''Welcome to our house; I assume Miss Slewyn has told you about our huge house and our family name?''
''Uh no.'' I smirk, she looks at me with a smirk on her face.
''I remember now.'' She mutters under her breath and I shot her a dirty look and try contain my laugh. Too bad. We burst into laughter, clutching our sides. We stop laughing and Lucius clears his throat.
''We are the Malfoy's. I'm Lucius Malfoy, and my wife Narcissa Malfoy, nee Black.''
''Hello Mr and Mrs Malfoy.'' I smile bowing my head once. I look up at them.
''Shannon dear, you can do what you wish.'' Narcissa smiles warmly. Shannon pulls me up many stairs and I'm used to stairs and I don't get out of breath.
''Oi Malfoy! Fancy a game of Quidditch?! You against me and Kathy!'' She calls, as she opens her door. I gasp and nearly faint. A huge room about the size of I and Ginny's room awaits us.
''Who's Kathy?'' Sneers an irritating arrogant voice.
''Bet you he's gonna say some dirty Mudblood I expect. Or maybe even a squib.'' Shannon whispers.
''My best friend!'' Shannon calls back. Twirling her hair around her fingers.
''Probably a Hufflepuff duffer or a typical Gryffindor. A tragic hero. Actually probably some dirty Mudblood or maybe even a squib.'' He shouts from his room next door. We burst into raucous giggles. She shakes her head.
''Never mind. So are there any wizards in the Weasley house hold?''
''Yep three.''
''Any hot boy's?''
''Go away.'' I state. She laughs.
''Any fancy you, cat calling? Wolf whistling?''
I blush. ''Yeah, from the red haired Weasley twins. They're really kind and hilarious. They're only my friends though.'' I say.
''If they wolf whistle or cat call then they clearly think your pretty. You're much prettier than me.''
''No I'm not!''
''Have you taken a look in the mirror recently? Thin, acrobatic, flexible, really pretty eyes. Long eyelashes, perfect figure and a normal height! Your perfect!''
I laugh. ''Really?! Let's do some dancing, maybe modern?'' I say and the room stretches to reveal a stunning dance floor. I laugh and Shannon passes out a black modern dance leotard with a sparkly top half with long sleeves and a pair of black jazz shoes. I slide them on in her un-suite and she sits on her bed wearing a turquoise version. I suit black.
''You look awesome!'' She exclaims I put my hands up.
''Do I?'' I ask.
''Uh huh!'' She laughs. She looks great too.
''You look cool too!'' I cry.
''What's happening in there?'' A voice shouts. I put some music on. I put the muffilato charm on the room. We start doing our dance routine. Stag leap, flick leap, normal leap, fall into the splits, teddy bear roll Kick up with right leg and splits on over leg. Jump up, pike, box splits lean forward and roll forward. The dance is so cool! I love it. It's to a series of mixes. It then turns into cheerleading. Jumps, then backwards walkover, forwards walkover, crab with straight legs and then the scorpion. Then the needle (That hurt) It then turned to ballet, double pirouettes and then arabesque on demi pointe. I then did a forwards walk over from there and accidently landed in the splits. The muffilato charm hadn't worked properly. I saw a blonde boy with scruffy hair looking through. He slammed the door before I could properly see him.
''Shame you Mudbloods are so pretty. Waste of blood though. You shouldn't exist.'' He says. I have to retort.
''Shame your face is so ugly and your heart so weak, a waste of magical blood.'' I spit back. Shannon high fives me. The next song comes on; how we do. I put the muffilato charm on our corridor. Malfoy can hear the music I smirk and we just randomly dance. Oh yes! He starts complaining and walks in. I laugh as he watches me do a walkover.
''Get the Merlin out.'' I say, trying to be polite. He turns around and slams the door behind him. I phew. I carry on dancing with Shannon. We are on a roll! Oh yeah! And the song ends. Oh. I was enjoying that. I switch the music off and we changed.
''That was so fun!'' I laugh. She agrees I give the leotard back to her. She smiles back at me.
''Quidditch?''
''Yeah, me VS you!'' I laugh.
''How about invite Malfoy to play, he's really good!''
''Yeah but he's a bully. You can't invite him to play anyway; there would be odd numbers.'' I giggle.
''Yeah but so what.''
''Final word Shannon, no.''
''Fine.'' then she giggles, I laugh and she passes me a broom.
''Should we practise the different positions?'' I ask. I stayed up last night reading up on Quidditch.
''Okay! I tags beater first!''
''Okay, then I can practise seeker!'' I laugh. She agrees. ''Yeah! You'd be good for seeker.''
''Thanks!'' I say. We pick up the Quidditch set and our brooms and she opens the window and zooms out, I laugh and follow her. We whiz around to the back of the house. We end up at a small Quidditch pitch and she opens the case. The snitch flutters out and I give it a head start. The Bludgers throw themselves out the case and Shannon grabs a bat. We close the case.
''Three, two, one. Go!'' I shout and look around for the snitch. I can't see anything as it starts to get more windy, Shannon thwacks the Bludgers hard and she's doing her job magnificently. I laugh and glance the snitch. I speed upwards and follow it down and plunge fifty foot. I pull up six foot of the ground and fly higher still chasing the snitch. I reach out and snatch my arm back as one of the two Bludgers nearly gets my arm. I lean forwards and grab the snitch! I would've won the game! I'm so awesome at this. Lol. Something that I'm good at! She Bludgers pelt towards the case and speed towards ground and drop my broom to open the case. They zoom in the snitch is magically replaced. I can actually legally keep this snitch. The end of the day soon comes and I sigh when the time gets to four.
''I better go Shannon.'' I say, looking forward to dinner, I've skipped lunch! Shannon just has an extra-large breakfast. I only had a piece of toast!
''Yeah, you better, Malfoy's gonna be a pain, he's gonna be teasing me all evening about it.''
''It's okay, remember me, think of what I would say and use one of my witting comebacks.'' I snigger. She bursts into laughter. She hugs me.
''See ya.''
''Bye!'' I say and shadow walk back to the Weasley's warm comfortable home. The mansion, that my best friend now lives in, had a strange atmosphere; I really didn't like it. I had a strange feeling that my best friend was going to get into some deep trouble.
