Chapter 10

Today is September 1, 1964 I am on the train to Hogwarts we are about three quarters of the way there and Lily, Alice, and I have thrown the boys out and are getting dressed. Uhg, I hate what we have to wear it's so ugly, especially the shoes. Since I'm done getting dressed I need a mirror, Alice and Lily don't have one, so I have no choice but to transfigure the glass compartment door. Normally 2nd years could not preform such advanced magic but for some reason I am an exception, me a mudblood, am advanced in magic, normally unheard of. After I had the glass transfigured I looked over my outfit. My shirt fit a little to loosely for my liking and my skirt was a little to long so I altered them with a shrinking spell. My shirt now hugged my slender yet curvy frame, while my skirt now hit the middle part of my thigh instead of being below my knees. The colors looked wrong on me black and grey make me look washed out because of my pale skin; I was as pale as a vampire except with a rosy undertone.
"Katie, how did you do that?" Lilly and Alice asked
"Do what?"
"The mirror thing."
"Oh, I transfigured it."
"How, your not supposed to be able to do complex things yet, we haven't even begun second year yet."
"I'm advanced."
"Obviously" they laughed
When the blokes returned we talked for the remainder of the trip.

After getting off the train James came up with a brilliant plan for seating in the carriages. As you know the carriages only hold six and their are seven of us so James sets in one seat and props his feet up in another, Alice is seated beside him and Peter beside her. On the other side of the carriage is Remus and Sirius. That only left Lily and I, so James sets me in Sirius' lap and Lily in his. The ride to Hogwarts was filled with oop's and sorry's because of accidental touches. It was raining hard when we pulled up to the castle so we ran as fast as we could toward the Great Hall. We got seated and the sorting began. Terrified little first years were swarming in the doors and amazed at what they saw. I remember being sorted, wow that was only a year ago. Dumbledore stood and began his speech, it wasn't long but it was just long enough to make stomachs start growling.

The feast was wonderful as always, but it also always made you sleepy.
The prefects lead everyone to their dormitories and got them settled in after the feast. I needed to get as much sleep as possible for tomorrow. Being back in my bed at school is like being home, I love it here!

The next morning, I woke up and went down to breakfast, Sirius was there by himself, which is odd because he is never by himself.
I sat next to him, he turned and smiled.
"Let me see your classes." he said
I handed him my paper and this year I had every class with him and Remus, except potions which I had with Peter, James, Lily and Alice. I left breakfast very early so I could head to the library and look for books. I knew where the book that I needed was so I took it, normally you are supposed to sign it out but I would need a teachers note for this book and I did not have one. It was a book on animaguses. Becoming an animagus will take a while so I will have to get started right away. I stuck the book into my book bag and headed to class.
I had Defense Against the Dark Arts with the Slytherins first. Lucius Malfoy was in dick mode today, well he was always in dick mode but today he was new teacher Professor Victor was young, about twenty, he had dark green eyes and sandy blond hair. He worked out alot, and you could tell by his muscles. He looked daring and bold. He was hot! Lucius made a comment on how young and inexperienced he would be and he also said that he would be writing his father.
"Today is my first day here so I thought we would get to know each other better. When I will say your name you will stand and answer a few questions. Let's start." He said in a deep voice.
" Remus Lupin, would you please stand."
Remus stood and faced Professor Victor. Victor asked the standard questions like what year are you in? what house are you in? Just standard things like that. It was my turn, I was last and something in his eyes when he looked at me didn't look right. I stood and smirked, teachers aren't supposed to smirk.
"Miss Bond, that's a name I haven't heard in a while. Don't you have anything to say?"
"No professor, because I did not hear a question in your statement." I retorted
He mumbled something to low for me to hear, it sounded like 'smart and beautiful' but I was probably wrong. For the rest of class Professor Victor couldn't keep his eyes of me, and Sirius was in a horrible mood. My next class was with Professor Sprout, she never does anything in the first week of school, that would be a good time to catch up on reading about animaguses.
What I gathered from my book was that this kind of magic was advanced and ever some adult wizards couldn't preform this. I almost backed out but when I remembered that night last year I knew I had to help Remus. Damn, time for Transfig.

So right now I am on my way to the headmasters office. I was told the he wanted to see me and that it was urgent. I wonder if it's about me taking the book from the library. I guess I will just have to find out. Dumbledore welcomed me in and told me to have a seat, he seemed nervous about something.
"Headmaster, what's wrong?"
" It's your parents, they were attacked by deatheaters, they were tortured and killed. I am sorry, there will be arrangements to take you to their funeral." He said in a sad tone
" Is that all?" I asked quietly
"Not quite, I have some information for you. Now you originally wasn't supposed to hear this until you were 17 but there are exceptions to every rule. Do you know why you are so rich, and so powerful?" I shook my head, "your rich because your royalty, and your powerful because of your great grand parents."
"what is so special about them." I asked, I wanted to know but I was hurting because of my loss.
"Your Great grandmother was the queen of a small country, her father died and he had no other heirs so she became the queen at the age of 7. The was a very smart, she ruled just like her father. When she turned 11 she received a Hogwarts acceptance letter. She had no idea that her mother was a witch, she decided to come to school and learn magic because she believed it would help her become a better ruler. Her mother who had abandoned her when she was a little girl heard that she was going to school and tried to forcefully take over the throne when your grandmother was in her 6 year, she had to quit school and destroy her mother. Although she did not get to finish her seventh year here she was already 10 times as powerful as her mother. Years later your grandmother met a man her age, fell in love, and had a daughter. By this time the man she fell in love with was known as she realized what he had become she took her daughter and ran away, back to her country, her home was surrounded by guards and magic was placed around her castle. Voldemort eventually was able to get around these spells and the guards. He wanted their baby girl, to raise her in the ways of evil, when she refused he killed her but little did he know that she had put a spell on her descendants so that no one who didn't have a pure enough heart would never have magical abilities."
" And I am the only one who has a pure enough heart?"
"It appears so."
"Is there anything I am supposed to do, like murder the bastards who killed my parents? Or maybe I can just kill Voldemort."
"When you are old enough you will take the throne and rule your country."
"When will I be old enough?"
"When you complete your school training, now I believe you need to head back to you common room, to sleep."
"Professor, while I'm away at my parents funeral will you tell my friends everything you have told me?"
He nodded and I went back to the common room as tears spilled from my eyes.
