Chapter 11: The Start of School

After the camping, Kat and Arya were often seen together weather at Hogwarts or Arya's place. If they were at Arya's, they rode horses; if they were at Hogwarts they swim and played with Eragon and Lily. When Arya and Kat were they were called the Royolty of Hogwarts by most of the professors.

The school year was coming on them fast. Kat was happy to know that she would be living with her dad and still be able to ride her horse Eragon. The teachers were hard at work getting ready for the start of term. Kat spent most of her time with Eragon, Lily and Savannah doing things the barn or reading under the trees by the lake with Lily laying at her feet and Eragon lying behind her and Savannah parched on Eragon's head, when not with her best friend. Kat loved life at Hogwarts; were she was the princess. Her animals ruled the castle with her; for she was never seen without Lily of Savannah. Her father could never say no to her and nether could the professors. Of course Kat always stayed humble to the teachers and her father.

Arya would ride the train well Kat got to ride Eragon down to the station with Hagrid and then Arya would ride Hagrid's horse back to the castle with Kat.

Kat saw Arya from Eragon's back and yelled "Arya over here".

Arya saw Eragon and came over to them.

"So this is one of Hagrid's horses?" asked Arya.

"Ya, her name is Halen" Kat replied.

"She is beautiful" said Arya.

"Ya, she is but come on get on Halen so we can get back to the castle" said Kat.

"Alright Kat" sighted Arya.

Arya got on Halen and rode with Kat back to the castle. Leaving many students wondering how Kat was. Kat and Arya got back to the castle in recode rime and left the horses with house-elf to take care of. They walked into the Great Hall and said Hello to the professors.

"Kat, Arya go find your Grandmother Minerva" said Severus, "She should be at the docks waiting for the other first years".

"Ok dad. I love you" said Kat walking out of the Great Hall with Arya.

It did not take long for Kat and Arya to find Minerva. "Hi Grandma" said Kat from behind.

"Hi sweetheart and Arya, come give me a huge" told Professor McGonagall.

Kath gave her a huge.

"What no Lily today?" asked McGonagall.

"No Gram" answered Kat sadly.

"Don't worries, why don't you go get her? We have an hour till the boats get here" said McGonagall.

"Ok, I will be back in 2" said Kat taking off for the SFAPT.

Kat ran for her home and got Lily and then ran back; by the time she got back with Lily, she was out of breath.

"Breath Kat" said Professor McGonagall, "They are almost here".

They saw the boats coming in and the first years getting out of the boats.

"'Irst 'ears Professor" said Hagrid.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. My name is Professor McGonagall and I am the assist Head Mistress. Standing next to me is Kat and her dog Lily" said McGonagall.

"Please follow me now for the sorting is going to start soon".

They walked up into the Great Hall and saw the Sorting Hat.

"When I call your name, please come up and put on the Sorting Hat" said Professor McGonagall.

Abbot, Hannah"

She was sorted into Hufflepuff. Professor McGonagall called out more names.

"Granger, Hermione"

She was put in Gryffindor. More names were called till Arya's name was called. She was sorted into Gryffindor along with her brother Ron. After Ron's name was called Harry Potter's name was call and his sorting took longer than normal but in the end he was placed in Gryffindor.

"Potter-Snape, Katherine"

The Great Hall was quit when her name was called and her sorting likes Harry Potter's sorting took a long time but in the end she too was sorted into Gryffindor. McGonagall give Kat a huge and told her, "You did great, honey".

Kat walked over to her house table and sat next to Arya and Harry.

"OMG! I cannot believe we are in the same house" said Arya.

"I know" answered Kat, "Hi my name is Kat Potter-Snape".

"Hi, I am your brother Harry Potter" said Harry.

"Nice to meet you little brother" said Kat.

"So who is your little friend?" asked Harry.

"This is Lily. I have an owl named Savannah and a horse names Eragon too" replied Kat.

"Are all your animals here at school?" asked the girl named Hermione.

"Yes they are. If you look out past the Quidditch pitch you will see a barn that is where Eragon lives and most of the time Savannah" answered Kat, "plus I live here all year round".

"So how do you know Arya?" asked Harry.

"Well my dad owns a horse farm and Kat's dad Professor Snape brought Eragon from my dad" answered Arya.

"Wow! Where you the girl on the horse at the station?" asked Ron O'Neil.

"Yes it was. Eragon is a beauty is he not?" asked Kat.

"Yes he is" answered Arya.

"So what is up with you and Professor McGonagall?" asked Harry.

"Well….. She kind of took me on as a granddaughter" replied Kat.

"Cool" said Harry and Ron.

"Quit down Students" said Dumbledore, "Welcome to a new year of learning. I have a few annocements before you go off to bed. First, do not go to the three floor corridor on the right. The Forest is Forbidden so don't go into the forest" said Dumbledore, "Now it is time for bed".

All the students left the Great Hall with the Perfects leading the first years.

"Kat where are you going?" asked Harry.

"Well I live with Snape all year round even during the school year since he is my father" answered Kat going down toward the dungeons.

"Ok see you later" said Harry.

Kat and Lily walked into her dad's apartment. He was not around so Kat went into her room and grabbed the book she was reading and went back into the sitting room. Kat read her book curled up on the coach in front of the fireplace with Lily. Severus walked in an hour later to find Kat and Lily in the same spot.

Kat looked up from her book and said "Hi Daddy, Are you ok?"

"Hi Baby girl. I just have a headache" answered Severus.

"Do you need something?"asked Kat.

"No Princess" replied Severus as he sat down in his favorite chair.

Kat came over and sat on his lap with Lily following her but laying down in front of his feet. This was what Severus wonted all day; to curl up with his girls in front of the fire with a book. After a while Kat fall asleep on her father's lap. Soon after Severus fall asleep as well.
