Katherine pulled on the dress that Hagrid had gotten for her and tied her hair up, It had only been a couple of hours since Hagrid had landed in England and away from that Hut, Her clothes along with Harry's had been so soaked that Hagrid had bought them some clothes, It wasn't exactly the prettiest thing in the world but it was clean and not soaked with rain and salt water. She walked out of the small bedroom in some place that was called the Leaky Cauldron a place that Hagrid said was famous when they arrived a strange looking man greeted Harry like some old friend, actually any Witch or Wizard that they had met had seemed to already know who Harry was which Katherine felt to be weird. Harry adjusted his glasses that where taped together thanks to Dudley and his gang.
"You're going to have to get those fixed soon." Katherine said with a smile, Harry turned around and nodded " I know, Maybe there will be a spell that will fix my glasses?"He asked Katherine nodded "Maybe."She said as she looked at the shabby room that they stayed the night in "Hagrid is coming to get us soon for Breakfast."Harry said as he sat down on the bed. Katherine joined him as she brought her legs up to her chest and she let out a sigh, It was still weird to think that there was actual people who could do magic like her and Harry. "Harry do you think we will do good at Hogwarts?"Katherine asked reading the letter for the fifth time since she had woke up, "I hope so or we will have to deal will Dudley again."Harry said his face curling in displeasure at that Idea, Actually Katherine agreed he might be her brother but she couldn't stand him.
A knock made both Katherine and Harry jump "Come in!"Harry called out and Hagrid walked in with a smile "Are ya ready?"He asked Katherine got off of the bed "For what?"Katherine asked "To get your school supplies of course!"Hagrid laughed Katherine and Harry's eyes lit up and the both went to get on there shoes " Where are we going for these supplies?"Harry asked " Well Diagon Alley of course!"Hagrid's voice boomed.
They had never seen so many thing's in one place before, tons of colors and things floating around, Shops offering things like wands or leaning book tower of spell-books that Katherine's fingers where itching to get as her eyes scanned over the titles, Bright colors of different things and then there where somethings that made Katherine and Harry want to grimace, two barrels of Bat-spleens and little jars of Eels eyes. " This is Diagon Alley where every Witch and Wizard gets the things they need like Parchment or potion ingredients."Hagrid explained "We have no money.."Harry told Hagrid who grinned "Yes you do Harry, Its in there Gringotts Wizarding Bank the most safest place to keep your money." He said as he pointed to a very large white building that seemed to take up most of the space "wow." Katherine said as they headed into the bank she paused outside of the door to read what the door said.
"Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there."She whispered "Come along Katherine you don't want to irk any Goblins."Exclaimed Hagrid moving her back up to Harry who was looking around, Katherine frowned as she looked around, Her eyes widened as she saw her first goblin, They didn't look to nice as they sat on there chairs with Quills that where longer than them scratching away at there parchment with a serious expression on there faces, Katherine thought of them to be like Scrooge in the book A Christmas Carol, Maybe he was a goblin.
"Its best not to stare."Hagrid told Harry and her making her instead think of the poem that was on the door, what else could be in the bank then treasure, She had been with her father many times when he would go to a muggle bank but she has to remind herself that it was a magical bank so probably a bunch of spells or creatures. "Mr Potter wishes to make a withdrawal."Hagrid told the Goblin as they reach him, Katherine felt like shrinking as the small creature leaned over and stared at her and Harry with his half-moon glasses "Does Mr. Potter have his key?"The goblin asked Katherine paled as she looked up at Hagrid who patted down his coat "Yes Erm its somewhere... ah here you go."He said pulling out a small golden key. "Also the thing from vault you know which, Dumbledore set me."He said handing the goblin a letter that was immediatly read "Very well" the goblin announced.
"Watch you step" Exclamed a Goblin as he helped Katherine into the trolly "Thank you." Katherine said as the Goblin snorted and sat down at the front "Ya might want to hold on."Hagrid said as he grabbed the handles, Katherine grabbed ahold too and Harry fallowed her actions, Katherine was nervous and found herself trying not to scream as they jolted forward, Twisting and turning and looping deeper into the tunnel, Harry and Katherine closed there eyes and Katherine laid her head on Harrys shoulder to block out the sounds of the metal screeching and the wind whipping around. Suddenly they halted and Katherine had to hold on for dear life as she almost was sent out of the trolly. "Vault 687."Curled the Goblin who waited as Hagrid got out, Katherine squeaked as the trolly tipped back and forth at the large mans weight. Then Harry and finally Katherine who practically jumped out of the trolly and onto safe sturdy ground, Harry helped her up as she landed on her knees.
"A bit rough for ya."Hagrid told Katherine who nodded her stomach still felt like it was going through the loops and jerks, "I don't feel so good."She said softly as Harry pulled out the key and slid it into the hole, Suddenly Katherines and Harrys eyes widened and her sour stomach was all forgotten as they got to look inside of the Vault, Mounds of gold coins, Sliver stacked up in neat columns, and Heaps of little bronze knuts. Hagrid looked at the expressions on the children's faces and let out a hefty laugh "Did you expect your Father and Mother to leave you with nothing Harry, Over there Katherine is for you, Your Aunt thought that you might become a witch and she knew how yur mother was." Hagrid said as Katherine looked up at him "My Aunt saw me?"She asked as Hagrid reached out and started to grab a few gallons and sickles for the school supplies and on the train into two separate velvet bags one red the other gold.
"Maybe, James came by after and went off about yur father insulting his mum, Your Uncle loved his mum."Hagrid said Katherine grinned at Harry who smiled back taking the red bag and Katherine took the gold one with a little apprehensiveness. There was tons of gold coins and the bag had to weight something, Katherine looked relived as she noticed that the bag didn't weight so much. "Next to Vault 713." announced the Goblin as they pilled back in, Katherine let out a gasp as the went for another horrible ride, Katherine closed her eyes again and Harry pulled her close so she wouldn't almost fly out like last time, This made the Goblin sneer how foolish of course there is charms protecting the passengers from falling out of the trolly, Of course until you go into the deeper vaults.
With an even fiercer jerk they stopped in front of a large door, Katherine was helped out this time and her head was spinning but she could still feel the light hum of something in the air "Stand back please."Said the Goblin, Katherine backed up almost falling into the trolly as she saw the Goblin raised one aged finger and slid it down. She could hear the door unlocking and Katherine wondered if Goblins had magic too, She thought to ask Hagrid or... Her eyes moved over to the Goblin who moved out of the way, Katherine has never been the one to back down from finding out something and she always believe that if you wanted information to go to the source, So as Hagrid reached out to grabbed the tightly wrapped parcel Katherine walked up to the Goblin.
"Mr Goblin sir, I was wondering", "Spit it out Witch."Stated the unpleasant Goblin but it didn't stifle Katherine's urge to know "Are goblins, Like yourself, Able to preform magic? Like Witches or Wizards or something else?"She asked curiously, The goblin looked offended "We are able, Ours are diffrent from...Yours."He said as if Wizard magic was disgusting "Thank you."Katherine said as she slid into the Trolly along with Hagrid and Harry.
"Where too next?"Katherine asked Hagrid as they made there way out of Florish and Blotts, Katherine had four extra books and she was eger to get more but she had to get her other suplies "Lunch then off to Olivanders for yer wands."Hagrid told them as they made there way into the Leaky Cauldron, Half way to the table a man wearing a turban stopps Harry. "P..P..Potter."He stammered as he grabbed Harrys hand that was free from his bags "C..Cain't t..nttell you how...p..pleased I am to meet you."he said Katherine along with Harry noticed that he had a thick studder.
"Professor Quirrell!"Annouced Hagrid as he clasped the gentalman on the shoulder in a greeting "He will be yur Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."Hagrid explained, Katherine eyed him but didn't say anything, Shouldn't teachers that teach dangerous classes be a little bit more...braveish? That question held as Harry and her made there way into a table and ordered "Poor man, He has been through it, He went to get some life training for a year and came back with that studder, Hasen't been able to shake whatevers had him." Hagrid explained.
"Sound horrible."agreed Katherine not wanting to offend Hagrid who seemed to like Quirrell, Katherine pulled out a huge thick book with the ellagant script 'Hogwarts a History', She started to read as they waited "Katherine."Alerted Harry and She lifted her gaze to him "Yah?"She asked as she read about the diffrent Hogwarts house's she would read the rest later but she wanted to know about that. "Lunch is here."He said as Katherine noticed that her soup was setting beside her, "Oh.."She said closing the book and placing it back into the bag.
"Hagrid, What are your views on the houses?"Katherine asked her hazel eyes where sharp and alert, "Houses?"Harry asked frowning "School Houses Harry, There's four, Everyone says Hufflepuff are a lot o'duffers, but..", "I bet I am in Hufflepuff."Harry said sadly as he poked his food, Katherine glared at him "Not a chance, It says in the book that Hufflepuffs are Loyal, Just, Patent, and unafraid of toil, Sorry Harry but you arn't patient."Said Katherine as Harry grined, "In my opinion better Hufflepuff than Slytherin,"said Hagrid darkly "Theres not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin."
Harry and Katherine frown there eyes meeting each others in a silent hope, That they didn't go into Slytherins, Hagrid caught the look on Katherines face and smiled "You don' have to worry Katherine, You wouldn't be even thought for Slytherin."He said Katherine smiled up at Hagrid who she had grown fond of and didn't look at him as a threat to Her and Harrys friendship. "I would like Gryffindor."Katherine said with a small smile enjoying the warmth that the Butterbeer was giving her. Hagrid chuckled "Oh course ya would, Lily and James Potter where in Gryffindor."Hagrid said Katherine smiled as Harry seemed to enjoy hearing truthful thing about his parent.
"Harry slow down."Katherine stated as she pushed and pulled though the crowd that had taken up Diagon Alley, Harry was in a excited rush to get his wand so he reached Olivanders before Katherine did, He pushed through the door and the bell chimed, Katherine caught the door just in time and walked in "You could have waited."Katherine whispered to Harry as she looked over the dusty shop, "I have no patients remember?"Joked Harry with a broad smile, Katherine rolled her eyes and looked at everything there was.
It was a small place with Wand boxes stacked to the ceiling, Katherine thought it was the most magical thing besides Diagon alley in it self. "Is anyone here?"Katherine asked as an old man walked from the back."Mr Potter I was wondering when I would see you." Said Mr Olivander, His hair was grey and his blue eyes show with his intelligence, Katherine could feel something inside of her it made her insides tingle and her right hand twitch, Harry looked at Her and we didn't know what to say to that but Olivander didn't let any silence because he started to move boxes "Your mothers wand, Willow, 10 1/4th inches, Swishy. Excellent for charms." He said as he pulled out his wand and waved it a tape measure started to fly around us "Are you here for a wand too.", "Yes sir, My Aunt was Lily."Katherine said She didn't know why but she felt like she should tell Mr Olivander who smiled "I had a feeling, I have only saw one person with that hair." He stated as he looked over the measurements and went into the back.
Katherine looked at Harry and she tried not to move as the tape measure took every measurement even her small nose, "Miss try this."He said handed me a long wand and then looked at Harry "Try this."He said Harry and Katherine looked at each other "Well give it a flick!"Olivander said with a laugh, Katherine flicked the wand and the glass busted and Olivander took the wand from her hands "Not that one."He said and then again as Harry flicked his given wand and a bunch of boxes flew out. Olivander frowned and eyed Katherine and Harry then disappeared. "Here" he said opening the box and pulling out a delicate looking wand, Katherine moved closer to the desk "10 1/4 inches, Hazel, Unyeilding yet delicate. It is one of a kind... Do you wish to know why?"He asked Katherine her eyes moved to Olivanders and she gave a nod "The core is Veela hair, This wand is a one of a kind because I do not like the temperamental nature that comes with a wand with that core. I never knew what possessed me to make this wand but...I do now."He said adding the last part when Katherine grabbed ahold of the wand.
Light pored from the tip and she felt the warm power and wholeness, "10 Gallons, Use that wand carefully."He warned before turning to Harry and blowing the dust off of a box and pulling out the dark wand, Katherine held her wand and moved her hand over it, Harry grabbed the wand and Light poured from the tip just like Katherine He also felt whole "Curious... Very curious."Said Olivander. Katherine looked up and watched Harry place the wand down nervously "Sorry, but what's curious?"He asked Katherine noticed that Mr. Olivander's wide blue eyes looked afraid, "I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter." He looked curious also but he looked grim "It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather resides in your wand gave another feather."He held up his finger "Just one other. It is curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar." Harry paled Katherine almost forgot that Harry even had that scar, It was an odd scar that was for sure but how? "And who owned that wand?"Harry asked Olivander backed up his hand dropping into the counter "We do not speak his name!" He said viciously
"The wand chooses the wizard, Mr Potter. It's not always clear why. But I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you. After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things. Terrible! Yes. But great." Katherine moved to Harry's side and touched his arm as someone knocked on the glass off the store. Katherine and Harry jumped and turned around to face a grinning Hagrid, He was holding on to a cage with a snowy white owl "Happy Birthday 'Arry!"Called out Hagrid as he opened the door and walked in "Is that mine?"He asked with a smile. It seemed Olivanders warning was lost as they fawned over the snowy owl that sat in the cage staring at the both of them with bright golden eyes.
"Here Mr Olivander, Thank you, I know that you didn't like making it but thank you." Was all Katherine could say as she handed Mr Olivander the 10 gallons and paused placing her beautiful wand into the case. "It was my pleasure Miss."He said as Harry handed him the gallons for his wand "Remember what I said."He said with a smile "Have a good day."He moved on to the back of the room, Harry and Hagrid left and Katherine paused looking around one last time before leaving.
"Good evening kids what can I get you?"Asked Tom, Katherine answered for her and Harry and then Hagrid gave his order, "Very good."exclaimed Tom moving from their table, Katherine looked at Harry and then at Hagrid "I read in Hogwarts a History that there is a magical Ceiling it shows off the stars and such."She said trying to fill the silence but with no avail because Harry didn't reply, "I think I am going to go to bed."Said Katherine moving from her spot at the table and left them alone, Harry will tell her later what is bothering him it was only a matter of time.
Katherine walked into there room and pulled out her wand and a inspected it, She smiled and placed it by her bed and pulled out Hogwarts A History and started to read. She walked out of the bathroom in her Pj Her face set in a deep frown she looked up from her feet to see Harry walking in "Hey, I was just getting ready for bed."Katherine said softly as Harry moved across the room to his bed sit down and taking off his shoe "He killed my parents.."Said Harry placing his head in his hands, Katherine moved and sat in front of harry "Who?". "Voldemort, He killed them, He is the one that they don't speak off."Harry said Katherine quickly put two and two together and grabbed the book "I read about him briefly, He was in slytherin and he murder a lot of people Harry...He gave you that scar because you lived through the killing curse." Katherine said softly.
Harry reached up and rubbed his scar, "Tomorrow we are going to Hogwarts, We are away from the Dursleys" Harry said Katherine stood up and kissed Harry on his scar, Her long red braid fell over her shoulder "And I can not wait."Katherine said fiercely.
