Letters and Fights
Katie sat in the living room of her apartment reading the Daily Prophet, the wizard newspaper when she heard a tapping at the window. She turned to see a snowy white owl at the window; it was Hedwig, Harry's owl. Quickly Katie stood up and let the owl in; it flew towards her table and deposited a letter there. Katie tore it open and read;
Dear Katie,
Hogwarts is great! I'm in Gryffindor just like you and mum were! I have a new friend called Ron Weasley, his brothers Fred and George are very amusing, Percy however, is real boring.
The lessons are cool as well, although I don't like my potions master. He's called Professor Snape and is real mean. There is one teacher though that confuses me, my DADA teacher. He's called Professor Potter and he looks like me, except without my eyes, seeing as there mums, and I have this suspicious feeling he's my father. Is he?
I'm only writing this to you because I know how upset my Mum gets when I ask her about my father.
If you know anything please tell me.
Lots of Love
Harry
p.s Don't tell Mum about this, she'll just get upset.
Katie stared at the letter, Professor Snape… Professor Potter… she felt anger bubble up inside her, without thinking she stomped towards her closet and pulled out a black travelling cloak, she whipped it round herself before apparating out of her apartment and into Hogsmeade.
Harry was stood in the Entrance Hall waiting for Ron to finish his diner when one of his dorm mates Seamus came skidding in from the grounds, his eyes were bright with excitement.
"There's a fight on the grounds, you have so got to come, Harry!" he cried in his Scottish accent and grabbed Harry's arm pulling him towards the grounds.
"Hey wait for me!" called Ron's voice and he quickly caught them up. All three of them hurried towards the lake where the fight was, a big crowd had gathered and Harry, Ron and Seamus had to squeeze through to get to the front. When they got there Harry's eyes widened in surprise. Katie was stood there, some of her hair had escaped her ponytail and her face was red, her eyes were filled with anger and they were flashing at Professor Snape who was stood opposite her. His hair was hung by his side, his face was red and he was panting.
"So Katie," he spat. "What are you doing here?"
"What does it look like?" Katie hissed and a jet of light burst from her wand, Snape quickly deflected it.
"You always were a poor fighter, Katie." Snape sneered. Harry watched as Katie's eyes narrowed and before anyone had time to react Snape was dangling by his ankles in the air.
"Seem familiar, Severus?" asked Katie with a slight sneer. Students began to laugh as Snape turned red.
"Put me down this instance!" he screamed. "I am a Hogwarts Professor and have no right to be treated this way!"
"Pah!" Katie spat. "And I suppose Lily had every right to be treated the way she was, and what about James! I know he hurt you but Lily did nothing to you, she was your friend and you hurt her!" There was another flash of light and Snape landed on his back.
Harry watched as Katie looked round furious, she obviously hadn't let him go and she was so busy looking round that she didn't notice that Snape had got his wand.
"Katie!" Harry screamed, but it was too late Snape had aimed the curse just as Katie spun round, the spell hit her in the chest and she fell to the floor. In a matter of seconds Harry was buy her side, he shook her but she didn't wake up. Rage filled Harry and he turned round, pulled out his wand and advanced on his Professor. "How dare you!" he shrieked. The crowd was silent; every eye was on Harry who had his wand pointed at Snape's throat. "You had no right to do that. That was a cowardly move, your nothing but a coward!"
"Mr. Evans be silent or I will dock points." Snape snarled. Harry laughed.
"Fine dock points! I don't care; you can't go round hurting people because you feel like it! Especially when there back is turned, a duel is a fair fight and only dark wizards cheat!"
"Ten points from Gryffindor!" Snape roared.
"I don't think so, Snape." The crowd parted to reveal Professor Potter stood there. His face was set and a flash of anger passed through his eyes.
"You had no right to attack that woman. So no points will be taken from Gryffindor. Mr. Evans here is just concerned for the woman you attacked and although yelling at you doesn't seem to be appropriate it's all he can do." He looked straight at Snape and said without taking his eyes of him. "Everyone please return to the castle, all except you Mr. Evans, you stay here. Snape you can leave also."
Harry watched as Snape glowered at his DADA teacher but with a sweep of his cloak he stalked back towards the castle, the students then followed muttering amongst themselves leaving Harry, his Professor and an unconscious Katie behind.
Professor Potter swept over to Katie and examined her over, he nodded and conjured up a stretcher, he then levitated Katie onto it and pointed his wand at her. Harry watched as she blinked groggily, before moving her head to the left and closing her eyes again. Professor Potter looked at Harry and beckoned him to follow him, on either side of the stretcher they stood and in silence they walked back to the castle.
They reached the Hospital Wing still silent and James entered and levitated Katie over to a spare bed just as Madam Pomfrey came bustling out of her office.
"Good Heavens!" she cried concerned. "What happened?" she asked looking at him.
"There was a little bit of an accident." James replied. Madam Pomfrey nodded and hurried over to Katie. James then pointed his wand and a silver stag escaped from it, it cantered out of the Hospital Wing and towards Dumbledore's office.
