Katie's POV

Drat. Diagon Alley. Basically A day of your truly being dragged around to get all of my school supplies in as little time as possible. At least I get to see Sylvia throw her tri-hourly tantrums on the subject of me going to school.

Back to Third Person. (A/N- Much easier to write. XD) Hogwarts Sorting Ceremony.

'Bell, Katherine'

The small blonde girl walked quickly to the stool and the sorting hat was placed over her head. (A/N- No, you don't get a song. I'm that lazy.)

"Hmm.. Another Bell. Yet, somehow so different." The hat whispered in her ear, considering her house placement,

"Get this over with and just put me in Ravenclaw." Katie thought, frantically.

"But I see in your heart that isn't where you truly what to be. Hufflepuff, perhaps?"

"I'd never hear the end of it from Sylvia. Ravenclaw..Ravenclaw.."

"Then what about Slytherin?"

"Are you mad? I wouldn't last a day!"

"So it seems you have grown to believe what you have been told by your family. Shame."

"But it's true."

"You'd be surprised at your own power."

"Power? Hah. I grew up thinking I was a squib. Tell me where I belong in this stupid world. Dumb hat."

"Are you sure? Better be.. GRYFFINDOR!"

Katie sat dumb stuck for exactly two seconds before removing the hat and joining her new housemates.

Stephen looked a bit surprised. After all, a vast majority of their family had been Ravenclaws. Sylvia just whispered something to her little 'clique' and they all snickered.

Back to Present Time. (Wow. I am so not creative today.)

"Katie?"

"Bug off." Katie sat on a park bench outside the clinic, waiting for either her Mum or Stephen, one of them was to arrive by Floo to the main office.

"Listen." Justin said timidly. "I didn't think we got off to a good start. I'm Justin Smith."

"Pleasure Justin. I am Katherine Stephanie Marie Lynn Fairweather Bell and I'd much prefer if you'd leave be alone." She said without even looking up.

"Ouch. 'Gess you'll prolly decline my offer to take you to lunch sometime." "Depends, will you leave me alone."

"I'll consider."

If I had a hate list, Katie thought, he'd be on it.

"Fine. But if you DO leave me alone, I'll promise to miss you." She said airily. "The little coffee place outside muggle London at noon sounds great. See you then." He said walking off and dodging every since one of her insults.

'Justin Smith is the most annoying, stubborn person I have ever had the displease of meeting.' Katie thought shaking her head.

Home Again.

I. Hate. Stephen. I just do.

Katie sat up in her room, braiding the fringes of her quilt out of pure random boredom. An unfinished letter to Alicia lay in front of her. Rushing footsteps hurried past her door and two knocks sounded.

Katie blinked, getting out to open the door. Without a moment's hesitation, she yelled. "STEPHEN! YOU ARE DEAD!"

You must know, Stephen is a very unpredictable person. He could go from concerned to no where near serious in seconds.

Momented upon Katie's door was a sigh scrawling in messy print. "Insane Asylum #568734."

She rans back to her bed, and jolted down:

Sorry so short, I'm off to murder Stephen.

Love, Katie

She sped down the stairway and found her parents and Stephen sitting in the kitchen.

Feeling much like Sylvia, Katie whined. "MUM! Look what Stephen put on my door!" she held up the sign, very red in the face.

"Katherine, Stephen has been up in his room packing. He couldn't have." Mrs. Bell said, pretending to became suddenly interested in a letter lain out on the table.

""But Mum!-Wait, packing? Why?"

"I'm moving out next week. A few of my old school friends need another roomate to help pay the rent." He said in triumph.

"S'about time." Katie muttered.

"Oh, while you're down here. Your sister Sylvia is visiting in a few days." Her mother informed her in a unbearably cheerful tone.

"Just Sylvia?" Katie questioned.

"No, actually she's bringing a nice young man she met a few months ago, and your nephew Jimothy." She said in the same, annoying tone. (No typos- *J*imothy)

"Lovely Mum." Katie said, exiting the room as soon as possible, muttering something that sounded like ."Dammit.. dammit.. dammit.. dammit.."



Unknown to Katie, in the kitchen lie Sylvia's letter.

Dearest Mother and Father, I'll be in town in a few days, so I was hoping to drop by. Jimothy and I just moved out of the apartment and into Leonard's house. I told you both all about Leonard in my last letter. He's so charming. I SURE this time he's the one. I can't wait for you to meet him!

Love, Sylvia P.S. I don't want Leonard meeting my dearest sister Katherine just yet. I mean, it is quite embarrassing. What would he think of ME?
