Two chapters in one day! I have been trying to get to this part for months now and I have a way to get there!


Changes

Kathleena saw the next few weeks go by with no change. Scorpius is still trying to claim that she should go out with him at least once. James keeps on getting worried every time he asks her. Lydia seemed to be fitting in well and making friends. She still talks to Lily, but since they only have Charms together, they spend most of their free time hanging out with one another.

"So have you heard that they are having a Christmas masquerade ball for Fourth years and up?" Evelyn said.

"Really?" Kathleena said sitting up on her bed.

"Yeah, this weekend we should go out and get dresses. I heard too that the masks make you see the person differently so that at the end of the night it's a surprise!"

"That seems like it could cause issues."

"Yeah, I know what you mean, but come on, it will be fun though and that would mean that you could end up with someone you like."

"I don't like anyone," Kathleena said gathering up her things and heading to the library to study.

As she got there and sat her stuff down, she felt sick to her stomach all of a sudden and then the next thing she knew she saw blackness surround her. She was sitting in a white room and saw someone walking towards her.

"Now you think that the game that you are playing will get rid of me. You won't find me in your time. I will only come to full light when you make your realization and go after the Malfoy family and get revenge on them for what they have done to me and this family. You are the chosen one to get rid of them or it will be your life," Elizabeth said.

"Why make their family suffer for something that happened generations ago? And why take the magic out of my family?" Kathleena asked thinking she could use her wand somehow on her.

"Because they need to feel my wrath, and since I saw this future happening as a child, I could tell exactly when to make them suffer even more now that they have been knocked down a peg or two from the Second Wizarding War. And as for the family, I knew that no one else would have the ability to do what you can do. I have made you so powerful because of the magic that runs through you, and as for your sister, she will be powerful too, she kinda snuck up on my radar, but I'll allow her to have some fun too."

"Hurt my sister in this and you will feel the wrath of me personally when I find you."

"Remember that I can control your life right now. I can make you die if you don't do what I want. That's why I strike. You make me angry. Now keep stringing the boys along like nothing is wrong. If you tell a soul about what I am doing, then it will be your sister facing my attack next."

Kathleena woke up in a flash to see that the had only been out for a moment and no one had noticed her. She packed up her things and started running to find a place where she could be alone. When she least expected it, a door appeared. Her eyes stared at it and when she entered, she found a room surrounded by mirrors and sat a piano.

Really this is what I get when I snoop around. I guess I haven't played since I got here. Let's see if this helps. Kathleena thought as she sat down at the piano and started playing. She started off sad and it moved to angry as she kept on playing. When she heard a bell tolling she realized that it was dinnertime and she went down to the Great Hall.

She sat down between Evelyn and James. She was quiet at she ate and kept on thinking about the vision she had earlier. She was supposed to keep them as far from her as possible. Her mind was on getting through to figure out what she meant by 'not in her time'.

By the time the weekend came along, Evelyn and Kathleena were ready to go shopping in Hogsmeade.

"Hey Leena, you wanna meet up with me after you are done shopping?" James asked running his hand through his hair.

"Sorry, I kinda promised that it would be a girl's day. Raincheck?" Kathleena said.

"Sure, see ya around," James said sulking his way to Hogsmeade.

Kathleena caught up with Evelyn and they went into a few shops. While they were trying on dresses, Kathleena said, "So James asked if I wanted to meet up with him after we were done. When I turned him down he got all upset."

"Really? He got the courage to do it?" Evelyn asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"He's been trying to ask you for weeks now. He is afraid of you turning him down."

Kathleena now felt like the worst person in the world now, "You know why I had to do it."

"Yeah, I figured and he figured that too. He was just hoping that you wouldn't think that would ruin your life."

"I just feel so awful now, but at least the ball is Friday. So maybe I have a shot with him later."

"You do like him don't you?"

"We are just really good friends, but I'm not sure sometimes. I don't know!"

They continued to try on dresses till they found ones that they wanted, and by the time that was all done, they headed back to Hogwarts after a long day of shopping. She prayed that her little saying didn't hurt Lydia.

The next few days went by and Kathleena finally figured out how to mention Elizabeth without directly doing it. I guess she was happy with the turn down of James. Tonight was the ball and she was afraid of what was going to happen. She was pinning up her hair, Evelyn was putting on some make up, and the twins were already dressed and ready to go.

"Come on, we wanna get there!" Natalie and Ali said.

"I'm almost ready," Evelyn said slipping into her dress.

"Same here," Kathleena said turning around in her dress.

"You aren't gonna wear any make up?" Ali asked.

"No," Kathleena said sheepishly putting her shoes on.

"Do you know how to put it on?"

Kathleena was quiet for a moment, "No!"

"We can change that!" Natalie and Ali said getting their stuff and starting to apply it.

After she was all done she had to admit she looked great. Her dress was a crimson red with a sweetheart neckline and a beaded sunburst on the left hip. Her hair was curled and framing her face and her make up was simple but you knew she was wearing some. Her red lips stood out on her pale face. Evelyn was in a golden halter dress and her hair was all pinned up and curled.

The four girls started making their way to the Great Hall. When they got their masks they noticed that all of the boys looked different but the girls looked the same. As the night went on, there were more and more people dancing. Kathleena was sitting at her table looking bored when someone came up to her and asked her to dance. As she danced, she never spoke to the person she was with, but her heart was racing and they were going further and further away from the people. Their faces got closer together and Kathleena felt his breath on hers. Before she knew it their lips were together for a quick second. At that moment, the dance was over and everyone took off their masks.

Kathleena took hers off first and as she adjusted her eyes, she didn't have time to notice that the person she kissed had left. She was looking around, but she couldn't find him. She ran out because almost everyone was still in there and she found James sitting on the steps.

"It was you?" Kathleena asked.

"No, it wasn't me. I ran out because of who it was. They passed by a moment ago," James said looking sad.

Kathleena's eyes got big with fear in realization as to who she kissed, "Scorpius?"

"Yeah."

"No, no, no! That can't happen! Some one has to get Lydia!"

"What's going on? What did she do?"

"Elizabeth! She is going to hurt her!"

Not a moment too soon the Headmistress came down to her and said that she needed to come right a way. She found her sister in the infirmary with marks all over her.

"She will be fine, but we want to know who did this," the Headmistress wanted to know.

"Elizabeth Dryers. I can't really explain it, but she somehow did this. She told me she would one day if I talked about her or something happened between me and Malfoy or James," Kathleena said.

"Wait, the same one that you have been having visions about for years."

"Yeah. She threatened to hurt Lydia if something happened and it did. I can't believe that this happened to her."

"You have to face her at some point."

Kathleena stayed by her sister till she got better. Christmas came and went. She acted as if nothing happened that night at all. Evelyn doesn't even bring it up. James and Scorpius haven't really talked to her too much. The last few weeks she focused on her schoolwork and not what was going on. The year ended and they were getting on the train. Lydia was getting on with her friends. Kathleena was happy that she was going on without her and having fun. Kathleena sat down in her carriage when James came in and shut the door.

"Don't say a word. I want to help and I don't care if I get hurt, but I want the Kathleena back that would always laugh and make fun of me for doing something stupid. Please, I am going to help whether you like it or not," James said and before he opened the door again to let other people in he leaned in and kissed her.

"James, I'm scared of what she will do next. I am going to need help somehow doing this and I know you can help," Kathleena said.

Evelyn entered the carriage and they were on their way back home. Kathleena, Lydia, and Evelyn were all going over to James' towards the end of summer to relax with their family and then they were all gonna go to Hogwarts together. Kathleena made up her mind. She wanted James and there was nothing that was going to stop her.


I'm very happy with how this is going and the next chapter is going to be a little fun for me and now I am going to get to the part that I have wanted for the entire fic so far! I should have that up soon if my life doesn't get too out of hand.
