Chapter 10: Lies
"Don't you think, they'll try to make you and Draco pay for what happened?" asked Pansy, while she dried her hands. Katelyn looked in the mirror and readjusted her skirt a bit. "Maybe, but I don't think it will happen so soon. I heard, that Weasley had so sneeze all day." Pansy laughed. "You get, what you deserve. It's his fault if he hangs around with mudblood Granger." Katelyn opened the door of the bathroom and they walked out. "Where did Draco say he wanted to meet us for lunch?" Katelyn shrugged. "Well, I guess then we have to-" Suddenly someone grabbed Pansy from behind and held her arms behind her back. Katelyn wanted to turn around, but was pushed on the ground. "You bloody Slytherins think you can do what you want, without punishment. Don't you?" Oh shit. I know that voice. When she turned on the ground, she saw Ron Weasly and two upper years, who looked a lot like him, standing before her. "Now, I show you what happens if you fuck with me, Black." He pointed his wand at her. "Wingardium Leviosa!" She felt how she lost contact with the ground and was lifted into the air. Then she was smashed against the wall of the girls bathroom and heard a crack coming from her nose. "Hermione taught me how to master this spell. Now, I finally can make some use of it." Katelyn crashed to the ground, when he released the spell. "Don't ever fuck with me again, or next time I won't be so forgiving!" The boy laughed and then turned around and walked away with his two bodyguards. "Kate! Your bleeding!" Katelyn grabbed her nose and saw the blood in her hand. "Im fine." Pansy helped her to stand up. "Lets go to the hospital wing."

"Kate, where the hell were you?" asked Draco when they showed up before the DADA room. "Fucking Ron Weasley and his brothers showed up. They grabbed me and threw Katelyn against the wall with the levitation charm." Draco looked concerned at Katelyn. "Are you hurt?" She shook her head. "He broke my nose. We had to go to Madam Pomfrey." Dracos eyes widened. "This fucking Weasley! I'm going to teach him, that he has to stay away from you!" shouted Draco angry. Katelyn took his hand and looked him into the eyes. Draco immediately calmed. "Please don't, Draco. If you do that, he just tries to do it again." The boy snorted. "Alright, but if he ever does that again, then-" The door of the DADA room opened and professor Quirrell looked at them. "G-Good afternoon. Y-Y-You c-can come in."

"A-And p-p-please don't f-f-f-forget your h-homework." said Quirrell while the students stood up and began to walk out of the room. "Go ahead, Draco. I just want to ask professor Quirrell something." The boy nodded and walked out of the room. Katelyn stood up from her desk and made her way to the front desk, in which Quirrell sat. "M-Ms. Black. H-How c-can I help you?" I wonder if he is the right person for that. "Professor, I wanted to ask for your help to learn a spell." He looked at her curiously. "It's the Disarming Spell." He made a hand movement, to indicate her to sat down. "T-That's s-s-second year m-magic, you know that? W-Why d-do you w-want to l-l-learn it?" Should I really tell him? I have to give him a valid reason.
"I had a bit of a confrontation, with some other students. I just thought it would be very useful to disarm them." Quirrell tilted his head slightly. "It's nothing serious, really. I just want don't want to be so helpless." The professor took out a notebook. "W-Well, I c-could s-s-s-spare some t-time while c-christmas break. A-Are you g-g-going h-home, or d-do y-y-you stay here?" Where the heck should I go? Back to the Dursleys? Surely not. "I stay here." He nodded and flipped through the pages. "T-Then I will t-t-teach you on c-christmas b-b-break. But I w-want you to p-prepare, l-lend the b-b-books from some upper y-y-years a-and read the p-pages about the D-Disarming S-S-Spell." Katelyn nodded. "Thank you, professor." said the girl with a smiled and left the classroom.

"So, this bright red leather ball is the quaffle and gives 10 Points for the team, who throws it through one of the rings. These big black iron balls are the bludgers, they have been enchanted and try to throw the players off their brooms. And finally, there is the golden snitch. The Seeker's team, who manage to catch the Snitch, receives an additional 150 points and ends the game." Katelyn nodded. "Okay, and where is the golden snitch? I only see tree balls." Draco grinned. "That's the catch. The golden snitch is extremely small and fast. That's why it is so hard to become a seeker." Alright, I think I get it down. "Draco...Is every game like that? Because Quidditch, seems a bit...brutal." He grinned. "Yeah, it's part of the game. It can become a bit rough sometimes, but nobody died in years." What the fuck?! People died while playing that game?

Katelyn stood before the doors to Dumbledore's office. Professor McGonagall had told her on her way back to the Slytherin Dungeon, that he wanted to speak to her. She was a bit nervous. Katelyn hope that he finally found a way to turn her back into a guy. The girl knocked on the door. "Come in." said the old man from inside. Katelyn entered and walked to the desk, where the old man like normally sat. "Please take a seat, Katelyn." Katelyn? That's new. She sat down and waited for him to begin. "I have made some...discoveries, regard to your situation." She waited for him to continue, but he didn't. "What discoveries?" The man rubbed his hand against his forehead. "Katelyn...there is an old ritual, which transfers an unborn child to another woman's womb. I think this ritual was performed on you." The girl sighed. That means he hasn't found a way turn me back. I guessed it will take some time.
"But this is not the only thing the ritual does. There is a price, so that the ritual works. The child gets not just transferred, it replaces another." Wait. What? "That means, when Bellatrix performed the ritual, she transferred you from her to Lily Evans and replaced you with Lily's child." Katelyn didn't know what to say. Was she the reason of another child's death? "But that's not everything. When a child gets transferred, it takes over the characteristics of the replaced child." Wait. No. It can't be. "W-What does that mean?" asked the girl slightly afraid of the answer. The old man hesitated. "When the child, who replaced the other unborn, comes in touch with something who is able to absorb magic, then these characteristics will be removed. You never really were a boy, Katelyn. I'm sorry." The girls eyes wided. "W-W-What do you mean by I was never a boy?" stutterd Katelyn. "You still can turn me back, or? You promised!" Dumbledore sighed.
"Katelyn I can't turn you back, because you never really were a boy. You should have been born as a girl, but the magic of the ritual gave you the characteristics of the unborn child of Lily and James. I'm sorry, but there is no way to change that." She couldn't move, she couldn't breath. He has to be wrong. It can't be true. No, I don't believe it! "You're lying." wisped Katelyn. "No Katelyn, I'm not. I wish I did." the girl jumped out of her chair and slammed her hand on the desk. The old man jumped back in his chair, absolutely unprepared for the outburst. "You're lying!" screamed the girl at him. "Why are you lying?! Is this some kind of game for you, old man!" Dumbledore stood up. "Katelyn, I was completely honest with you and I understand how you must feel, but behaving like this is no solution." Tears rolled down on the small girls cheeks. "Please...stop lying." The man walked around the desk and tried placed a hand on the girls shoulder, but she beat the hand away. "Katelyn plea-" The girl looked up at him with hate in her eyes. "You promised me. You promised to turn me back!" shouted the girl and then turned around and stormed out of the office. He will pay for lying to me.
