Author Note: The only things that I own is the Character Kat and the story line to this story as well as some of the names I used from people that I know in really life.
Chapter 9: Welcome home Eragon
The next morning, Kat woke to Lily licking her face.
"Lily stop licking my face, I am up" Kat ordered Lily.
Lily did as she was told and stopped licking Kat's face.
"Thank you girl" Kat told Lily as she was trying to get out of bed, but once her feet touched the cold floor all Kat wanted to do was jump right back into to bed. Thanks to Lily, Kat had to get moving so she jumped on to the rug next to her closet to find an outfit to wear that day.
As Kat was finding her outfit for the day, she though 'Thank Merlin I took dance classes for five years. Hmmm what should I wear today…. Maybe my dark jean shorts? No, I want to go riding today so long jeans would be best and the weather today is going to be warm so light washed jeans would be best… ok so my light washed boot cut jeans…. Now what shirt should I wear? Oh I know my hot pink tank top. Hmmm what pair of boots? Cowgirl boots would be best but what color?... The pink and brown ones of course with the matching hat'
Kat walked out of her closet with her outfit for the day and went into her bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the day. After a nice hot shower, she dressed in her outfit but leaving her hat and boots off for right now; thinking ' hmm how should I wear my long hair today? Hmmm I know low pig tails would be good for today but maybe two braids would be better for today. Hmmm ask dad' so Kat walked out of her bathroom and her room in to the living room to see if Severus was sitting reading the paper in his chair which was where he was.
"Good morning Daddy" Kat said sweetly, " Should I wear my hair in pig tails or in two braids today?"
"Good Morning Honey" replied Severus, " I think braids would look good today."
"Thank you Daddy. I will be ready in 10 minutes to go to breakfast" said Kat heading back into her bedroom.
Kat braided her hair into two braids quickly and put on her hat and boots before leaving her bedroom with Lily fallowing behind her.
" I am ready, dad" said Kat as she walked into the living room.
"Come Kat and Lily" ordered Severus, "Lets get breakfast."
The family walked up and into the Great Hall for breakfast where the other Hogwarts' stuff members were already sitting having breakfast.
" Good Morning" said Kat to the whole table as she fallowed Severus to their sits at the stuff's table.
"Good Morning Katherine" replied the Headmaster, "How are you and your love animals today?"
"I am fine, sir; so is Lily but I have not checked on Eragon or Savannah yet" answered Kat, "but I plan on checking on them after I finish my breakfast."
"Very good, you are much like your mother was when she was your age" said McGonagall, "always responsible for your animals."
"Thank you Grandma M" answered Kat with a smile.
"Your welcome sweetheart" said McGonagall with a smile.
The teachers and Kat ate their breakfast well talking of the up and coming school year and all the classes being planned out.
"I am done father, may I go out to Eragon?" asked Kat.
"Yes Sweetheart" answered Severus.
"Have nice days Professors" said Kat as she got up from her sit to go out to the barn.
Kat walked out to the barn with Lily fallowing like always behind her. Once at the barn she was greeted by Eragon and her father's horse Potion as well as her owl Savannah how took a liking to the horses.
"Good morning boys" Kat said to the two horses as she petted each one.
Kat walked into the tack room and got feed for both horses and feed both after which both horses got groomed and then let out into the field to graze for a bit, while Kat cleaned both of their stales and Lily laid close by the doors to the barn. Suddenly out of the blue Lily starts to bark.
"Lily, what is wrong girl?" asked Kat without turning around from her task of cleaning out Eragon's stale. Lily would not stop barking so Kat turned around to see what was wrong. Kat only found her new friend Arya and Mr. O'Neil along with her father.
"Hello Arya, what are you doing here?" asked Kat.
"Hello Kat, I thought I would come hangout with you as well as help with Eragon and Potion and maybe teach you some secrets to riding" answered Arya.
"Well come on into the barn" said Kat with a smile, "Lily stop barking at Arya."
"Girls, we are going up to the Castle" said both Severus and Mr. O'Neil, "Come in for lunch at noon and have fun."
"We will dad" answered Kat.
"We will father" said Arya.
Both fathers left the barn and went up to the castle while the girls got to work. The girls talked about their lives and their love of horses as they worked in the barn cleaning all the stales and putting down fresh bedding for the horses. They finished cleaning the stales and went to get the horses out of the pastier so that they could go riding go riding. Arya rode Potion and Kat rode Eragon side by side talking about school and what they would like to do before school started.
"Hmm, what would you say to go camping?" asked Kat.
"That sounds so much fun but we cannot have our dads come with us" said Arya, "is there any professors that we ask?"
"We could ask McGonagall and Sprout to go camping with us but we still need to ask out fathers if we can go camping" answered Kat.
