Chapter Four

Hey! Hola! Konichiwa! No clue if I spelled that right! Well, here's chapter four!

Dear Twins,

Letter seven. Why are we numbering our letters now? Sorry it's taken so long for me to reply... I got back from America and saw that I had a letter. And as for your father, fans are for like a hot day and you want to cool yourself off. Second term starts soon so we will be able to see each other soon. As for Quidditch, that's a maybe. I was never a huge Quidditch fan. I only went to the Finals. And as for the both of you, thanks so much! I keep forgetting to say that for my birthday present. We can now all sneak around the school and never be heard. Again, Sorry for the delayed response!

See you soon,

Kady

I put the quill down and gave the letter to Mickey, my new owl. She took off. It was a beautiful sight to see. I smiled and went downstairs in my sound-proof sneakers. I came up behind my mom and whispered in her ear.

"Kady!" my mom yelled in surprise. "God, I was just about to get you. It's time for dinner."

I walked into the kitchen as a reply. I saw my dad. "'ello dad!"

"Blimey, Kady!" he exclaimed. "I can never hear you with those shoes on!"

"Sorry father..." I chuckled and sat down next to him.

"Mom!" I yelled. "It's August 20th! I need to go get my stuff for school."

"Okay, okay," she sighed. "Let's go then."

We got to Diagon Alley mid-day. We needed to get my books, so that was where we went first. I grabbed my Potions book and my Transfiguration book, since they were in the same aisle. I was on my way to the aisle the Herbology book was in, when I saw two familiar red-heads. "Excuse me sirs, can I help you find anything?" I said, trying to sound like someone that would be working there.

They jumped and turned around. "The Herbology... Kady!" They both gave me a hug. "Last minute shopping?"

I nodded and saw another red-head that was almost as tall as the twins but still had that baby face. "Is that Ron?" The younger Weasley nodded. "He looks like a baby version of you guys! He's adorable!"

Fred chuckled. "So are we, right?"

"Yes, most defiantly," I said sarcastically. "But it's totally different."

We found the book and got the rest of the books we needed. We bought it all and said our good-byes. Me and my mother continued down Diagon Alley. I saw the broom shop. "Mom, can I get a broom?" I asked.

"Why? What for?" She groaned, running a hand through her graying hair.

"Uh... Quidditch...?"

She sighed and nodded, "Alright."

I smiled and brought her over to the shop. I got a Thunder 88, a steady but slower broom. I didn't need a fast one since I decided to go out for beater as well. Maya happened to be in the shop. I clenched my fists when we passed her and exited out of the shop with my new broom.

I threw all of my stuff into my suitcase. Scarves, ties, sweaters, and books. I made a mental checklist to see if I had everything. All set for the new year at school. I grabbed the last letter the twins sent me.

Kady,

I'm glad we ran into you. No need to reply to this seeing as the term starts very soon. We heard you got a broom. You'll tell us what position you are going for right? Both beater positions are open last time I checked. Don't forget your scarves and ties. You do not get another pair of them unless you have grown ten inches over the summer.

See you soon,

Fred and George.

I smiled and slipped it in the pile of letters I had gotten from them over the summer. Mickey returned for her joyous flight, so I placed her back into her cage. I was ready for the new year.

Platform nine-and-three-quarters. My old foe. We meet again.

I entered into the wizard world and took a deep breath. It felt better to be around people who were capable of the same things that I was other than those who weren't.

"H-hey Kady," a familiar voice said behind me. "How have you been?"

"Derek!" I smiled and gave him a hug. "Great, you?"

Before he could answer, Fred came over to me, "Hey Kady! ...Derek."

"Fred..."

"Well at least we know each other's names!" I said breaking the tension. "Well, see you around, Derek." I followed Fred over to where George and his family were.

I heard him give a slight growl as I walked away with Fred. We found George and the rest of his family. "Kady, dear, how are you?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"So, this is the legendary Kady," Mr. Weasley inquired.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Weasley," I smiled. "I am doing quite well, actually."

"Kady, you must tell me," Mr. Weasley said, sort of pulling me aside. "What is a telephone used for?"

I laughed and then explained it to him. "That is absolutely fascinating," he replied.

We all said our good-byes and got onto the train.

We rode in the boats along with the first years. One girl, Annabelle Morgan, who sat in our boat, was hydrophobic. For almost the entire ride, she was hyperventilating. She practically hugged the shore when we reached it.

We chuckled as we passed her. We walked towards the castle and met up with the other upperclassmen. Then, we entered the castle and then the Great Hall. We split up into our houses and sat at the corresponding tables.

I sat with Christian Creevey, a second year just like me, because Derek sat with Maya. "What happened to you and Derek?" He asked. "You two were such great friends last year. Did his age become a problem?"

"No, he is only one year older, but it isn't him that is the problem," I said. "It is the witch sitting next to him."

"What did she do?" he asked surprised.

"She was saying all of these terrible things about muggle-borns, like calling them Mudbloods," I recalled. "I happen to be muggle-born."

His eyes widened. "No way!" he exclaimed. "So am I."

I chuckled and turned towards McGonagall, who was leading all of the first years into the room. After everyone was sorted, we kind of took a head count of the first years. There sure were a lot of them. Some were terrified of the more advanced years. The others were stupid and didn't listen.

I looked towards the Gryffindor table to see Fred staring right at me. I smiled and he blushed and looked away, embarrassed. I giggled and took a sip of water. He looked back at me and smiled. "Looks like someone has got a crush on you," Christian sang.

"Yeah," I said, not paying attention. "Wait, what?"

We chuckled and looked back down at his food. Suddenly, a white figure passed. "Hello, Helena," I smiled. "Fancy seeing you here."

"I wanted to see those who are most like my mother," she said, in an impatient tone.

"Well, here they are," I said.

"I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE!" she yelled and went screaming through one of the walls.

"Good job," Christian said.

DONE!:)
