A/N: I own nothing

Kate spent the rest of the day playing Quidditch with her dad and brother and couldn't wait to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow to get her school books. Later that evening Kate went upstairs and laid out her clothes for the following day, she wanted to look good going to Diagon Alley for the first time as a student. She decided on her favorite pair of jeans and her black beater tank and her black cloak.

"Hey Birthday Girl its time for dinner," yelled her brother, Michael, from downstairs

"Be down in a sec,"

She went down stairs and met her family in the dinning room, her father however was not present.

"Hey, where's dad?"

"Your father had a meeting at the ministry to go to" said her mother

"But he never misses my birthday"

"It was very important"

Lestat was head of Level 5 Department of International Magical Cooperations Incorporating the International Magical Trading Standards Body, the International Magical Offices of Law and the International Confederation of Wizards, British seats. He was often called away on business in other countries and was an asset to the ministry as well as one of Fudge's advisors. He being called away on business at this hour was suspicious, since he told her the day before that he had taken a day of and instructed the ministry not to bother him even if it was important. She was disappointed of course, but shrugged it off he did play Quidditch with her all day and besides all he was missing was cake! The remaining members of the Morgan family ate a late dinner and one by one went off to bed. Although Kate was in bed, she couldn't sleep. She kept tossing and turning and thinking about what Hogwarts would be like and why her father still wasn't home yet. She eventually drifted off to sleep.

The next day Kate woke up relatively early by her standers and dragged her self into the bathroom to take a shower, she towel dried her hair and glopped some gel into it to control the waves. She then went into her room and changed into the outfit she picked out the night before and found the necklace that her father had given her for her birthday, a green and silver ribbon on it, was a pure silver snake with real emerald eyes. It was the most beautiful thing ever. She went to go find her mother so that they could go to Diagon Alley for her books. She was no where to be found.
"Mom! Mom! Annabelle Morgan where are you!"

"I'm in the library Kate"

Kate went to the library it was a large room the walls covered in shelves and enough books to last anyone a life time.

"Can we go get my stuff now?"

"Sure dear just let me finish this page."

"Ok" Her mother finished the page rather quickly, grabbed her cloak and purse, and apparated the 2 of them to right outside Olivanders.

"Alright now we need to hit the book store, the robe shop and of course brooms N' things store."

"Yes, Kate why don't you go to the Robe shop and get fitted ill meet you in there to pay for them I just need to go run a quick errand."

"Ok whatever you say mom."

Kate wandered down the crowded street to find the nearest robe shop. When she walked in she was greeted by a small round woman wearing Magenta robes.

"Welcome Miss! What can I do for you today?"

" Well," said Kate nervously, "I'm starting Hogwarts this year and I need some robes for school."

"Starting this year? My, that's amazing, they usually won't accept anyone past their second year! Guess even Dumbledore has to make exceptions sometimes!"

"Yes, well I was wondering if you could take my measurements now, and I could come back later with my mother to get them fitted and paid for?"

"Oh of course that's what most people do."

"Ok great because I have a huge list to get"

"Well then let's get started"

The woman had Kate stand on a platform in front of a tri mirror while she took her measurements. When she was finished Kate left the woman with her name and got a paper receipt for when she picked up her robes.

"Well Miss. Morgan I have to say you have one of the best figures at Hogwarts and trust me I've measured them all!"

"Thank you," replied Kate she wasn't sure she had the best but she liked it and that's all that mattered to her. She left the robe shop and went down a little further to Brooms and Things to pick out a new broom. She arrived and the rather large shop to find that they had a relatively new broom out called the Firebolt and it was just calling her name she decided to go in and check it out before brining her mother back to by it.

Harry and Ron were in Brooms and Things picking up some broom polish and Ron was picking out a new one for his 'reward' for becoming a prefect.

The broom polish was right by the door and behind the front window displaying the Firebolt.

"I can't find the one I want" complained Harry

"Its ok mate just get the Wonder Broom brand that's what I use and it works fine."

"Alright but I'll have to come back when it's closer to sc…" Harry just stopped talking and his mouth hung open he thought he had just died and gone to heaven.

She was walking over to look at the Firebolt display.

"Is your friend ok," she asked Ron

"Yea I think sooo…. Wow" Ron had just discovered the reason that Harry had been unable to finish his sentence. There standing in front of them was the most beautiful girl either of them had ever seen.

"Um.. Ok Hi, my names Kate and why are you 2 staring at me like I have 6 heads?"

"They can't help it their boys" said a female voice from behind her. There stood Hermione.

"Well yes I think that's obvious," replied Kate as she turned around to face Hermione

"Hi, I'm Kate Morgan"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Hermione Granger and these two idiots with their moths hanging open are Ronald Weasley, Ron for short and Harry Potter."

"Oh wow very nice to meet you both, what year are you all going into at Hogwarts?" asked Kate

"We'll be going into our fifth year what about you?" replied Harry.

"Same."

"Really? Because I've never seen you around, and I really doubt that I would forget someone like you." said Ron sounding like a babbling idiot.

"Oh, my mother got permission from the ministry to teach me at home she didn't want me going to Hogwarts originally but she wants me to take my OWLS and My NEWTS so my parents are letting me finish out my education at Hogwarts."

"Great," said Hermione. "Can't wait to see you there it's too bad we have to wait a whole nother month to go back."

"What are you talking about Herms?" said Ron, "Haven't you enjoyed your summer like a normal person?"

"Of course I have Ronald, I just would like to go back earlier so that we could get out in May instead of June," Hermione lied

" Brilliant!" shouted Ron, "you do realize Herms that that is the single most brilliant thing you've said all day?"

Kate laughed, "Ron you're an absolute riot!"

He blushed and looked down at his shoes, "Thanks"

"Well, I have to go I still have to get my books for this year so I can catch up to everyone," said Kate, "I can't wait to see you all in a month! Bye" Kate walked out the door and started for the book store. They were really nice Kate thought to herself I hope I'm in their house, they seem fun.

Kate met up with her mother outside the bookstore and told her that she already picked out a broom and her robes were getting made as they speak.

"Great," said her mother, "Tell me the name of the broom and I'll go get it for you. Then ill meet you in Flourish and Blots to pay for your books, say 20 min?"

"Sounds, good Mom and thanks!"

They parted ways and Kate went to go find her books.
