Chapter 3:
As the weeks passed by, Kaitlynn and Padma became very good friends with Harry and Ron. On a Wednesday Padma saw a notice on the notice board. 'We have flying lessons tomorrow. With the other three houses.'
'Oh, is it hard?' Kaitlynn said.
'It looks easy but I've never tried. Are there any tips in Quidditch through the Ages?'
'No, nor in any other books in the library that weren't borrowed.'
'Ah well, I suppose we will have to see for ourselves then.'
'Suppose so.'

Hi,
I'm OK. How are you?
Today I had my first flying lesson. Madam Hooch was our professor. I said 'up' and then a broom jumped into my hand. It was, except for Harry's, the only one that did! Poor Ron, his broom smacked him in the face. It was really funny and Ron said: 'Shut up, Harry' because Harry was laughing. A sign that Ron was OK. After that we had to mount it. On Madam Hooch's whistle we had to kick off hard from the ground. Only the problem was that we didn't get to. Neville started going up and didn't come back down. It was a bit scary, actually. He landed with a crash-landing and had a broken wrist. Madam Hooch brought him inside to the hospital wing. Neville's Remembrall had fallen out of his pocket and a stupid boy called Draco Malfoy picked it up. He started flying because he wanted to put it on the roof, but he got caught by professor McGonagall. Now he has two weeks of detention and Neville has his Remembrall back. Harry wanted to chase Malfoy but I stopped him. I'm glad I did, I shudder to think in how much trouble he would have been if I had let him.
A Remembrall is a ball that turns red when you have forgotten something. Neville always forgets something.
I also got an 'E' for my transfiguration essay! And an 'O' for my charms and Herbology essay's!
I think that's all,
Kaitlynn

Halfway through the Halloween feast professor Quirrell came storming into the Hall. 'Troll in the dungeons! There's a troll in the dungeons!' It created a load of panic. That was until Dumbledore told the prefects to lead their Houses back to the common rooms. As Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tower aren't very far from each other, the four walked back to their towers.
'You know Hermione?' Ron asked. 'I might have insulted her, and Parvati said she was in the girls' bathroom. Shouldn't we go get her?'
'No! I'm sure Hermione will show up. You really shouldn't be getting into trouble!' said Kaitlynn.
With that the matter was solved. Hermione would show up and they wouldn't get in trouble.

Two days later they heard Hermione had been rescued by the professors and that was very good news indeed.

Nothing else happened until Christmas. Kaitlynn woke in her dormitory and saw a pile of presents on her bed. She got a box of chocolate frogs from Ron, a very nice set of quills and ink from Padma, a model of a real flying broomstick from Harry and a 5 wrist bands from home. She put the wrist bands on her ankle, like she always did.
Breakfast was a noisy affair. It didn't help that Ron came storming into the hall screaming: 'Kait, Kait, Pads, come, look what Harry got for Christmas!' Kaitlynn and Padma turned around when McGonagall said: 'Ten points from Gryffindor for shouting like a maniac in the Great Hall.'
'Yes, professor. Sorry, professor,' mumbled Ron. 'Come on you two!'
Kaitlynn and Padma quickly followed Ron out of the Great Hall. Harry was just outside the Gryffindor common room. 'Look, I've got an invisibility cloak!' He wrapped himself in it and indeed, nobody could see him.
'So cool!' Padma said.
'What are we going to do with it?' Kaitlynn asked.
'I don't know,' said Harry. 'But I expect a lot!'

That evening Harry crept out of his dorm and went exploring the castle. He found a mirror in an empty classroom and when he looked into it he saw a forest with dark trees. He saw himself older, lying down on the earth. No, he wasn't lying. He was dead. At this Harry's eyes darted upwards to the top of the mirror. It read: Htaed ru oytub epac esru oynot wohsi. Harry didn't know what it meant, it looked like a very old language. Above that it read Htaed.
The next morning Harry told his friends about the mirror and in their lunch break they all went to the mirror. Ron looked in first and saw himself, years older in a bed with people around him. The people weren't very vivid. Padma saw herself lying on the ground in a very big room. The ground was made of stone. Kaitlynn saw nothing but white, thick mist. She looked in again. Nothing. Even the mist was gone.
'Hey guys, I see nothing. What do you think it shows you three?'
'Isn't it obvious? It shows our death. But why it doesn't work for Kaitlynn is the real mystery,' said Padma.
'Oh, I see! Look, read the text differently. Backwards and change the spacing. You get 'I show not your escape but your death',' Kaitlynn said.
'Merlin's beard, you're right!' said Ron.
Kaitlynn looked shocked. 'I don't die? How does that work?' she half whispered, half screamed in panic.
'I don't know,' said Padma sad.

That night Wormtail slipped away without anyone noticing. It was finally time to find his master and tell him everything.

'I don't believe it,' Ron was looking under his bed.
'What don't you believe Ron?' Seamus enquired.
'Scabbers is gone! He must have crept away! I can't find him anywhere!'
'Come on Ron. He wasn't the best pet ever,' braced Harry.
'Yeah, yeah….'
At breakfast Kaitlynn and Padma cheered Ron up. In the afternoon even Ron forgot that Scabbers was gone.

Wormtail apparated to Albania. To the forest where his master was supposedly hiding. In the afternoon he found the Dark Lord.
'Master, master…, ' he said.
'Wormtail…,' hissed his master. 'You bring newsss I trusst.' Being in Snake-formation meant he hissed a lot. "The letter 's' was always drawn out, stupid snakes," he thought.
'Yes master. I know who it is. The one who could evade death for ever. The daughter of the squibs.'
'Are you sssure, Wormtail.'
'Yes master. It is her.'
'Her name?'
'Kaitlynn Novan, master. She saw nothing in the mirror of Htaed. Only people who don't die can't see anything.'
