Chapter 12: To Hogwarts,To Hogwarts
"Katie come on we have 20 minutes."
"I am,do you know how much stuff you packed?"
"Only the neccesitys."
"What!How many robes,books,and caulrens do you need?"
"Well here I will carry yours,that way we will both know they are the same weight"
"ya right." He could be smug without even trying.I didn't believe him,hence my 'Ya Right'.
He grabbed his first,leaving me with a considerably lighter load.
"Mine is not heavy at all."
"IS TO!" Next he grabbed mine,letting his fall to the ground.I saw the dawning surprise on his face.
'It is lighter,though I musn't let Katie know that.' I had figured out a way to 'hear' his thoughts without him knowing. I nearly burst out laughing at his pride.
"They are the same weight! I was right."
"No you are always." He looked confused,so to enlighten him I pointed to my head.
''Katie!Don't." He hardly ever used the whiny voice,but he usally got his way when he did.
"Do not blame your father,I am just making good use of his newest spying tool."
"Oh Katie how do you do it?" He was teasing me. We teased each other all the time. I think it is how Draco shows he cares.
"Oh just a little magic here,and a lot of common sense there." We both started laughing. We both laughed because we all knew that I truly had a lot of common sense.I was also very mature,only because of the situation I had been thrown same went for Draco.
"So modest." Draco struggled to say through laughing.
"What are you?Five years old? Draco go outside,Katherine collect the trunks." Did I ever mention that Master Lucius demands obedience,and respect,among other things.
"Yes sir." I didn't want to lose the position that fed my the incedent in Flourish and Blott's,I had tred carefully around Master Lucius.
I grabbed the trunks and headed took me a good five minutes to bring the trunks,but I managed.
It was raining.
'Great just great!'
My unruly curly/wavy hair stuck to my face as we waited for . Master Lucius and Draco had big,heavy cloaks,but my thin brown coat was soon soaked through. After another five minutes my drab grey dress was just a wet piece of cloth hanging off my thin frame.
Out of nowhere Master Lucius produced a unbrella,but I knew better then to get my hopes might give it to Draco,but never me. He didn't give it to either of us.
'Are you cold?'
'No I am just shivering for no reason!' I was cold,freezing even,tired,and should have left over ten minutes ago. Where was ?
Thankfully came out just then.
"Katie,you look cold!,Draco you to."
'Shocker!' I was sarcastic a lot.
"Well let's hurry to King's Cross." How can she be so cheerful? I know I am going to catch a bloody cold!
I was still wet half an hour later when we were on the train.I still sat in the same compartment as Draco,but everyone gave me a wide berth.
I started sneezing.
'Why don't you go ahead and change into your robes?'
'Why? We have at least two hours probably more,till we get there.'
'Why?You need to get out of your cold wet clothes.'
I headed to the robes felt warm and dry against my wet was almost sinful how good it felt. I did my best to dry my dress,but it looked as though I would just have to put it over the fire when I got to school.
'Better?'
'Ya a lot!'
'Good now stop sneezing.' I tried but couldn't.
'Katie we can take you to Madam Pomfry when we get to school,try to get some rest before that though.' I listened to Draco and curled up in my took all of a minute before I was was a very warm sleep. I felt like a blanket had covered me. I was asleep for a long time.
''Oh my,is she going to me alright?''
",she will be fine!Now you have the feast to go to."
"Yes Madam Pomfry."
I heard footsteps leave my bed.I opened my felt heavy and it was hard to breath.
"Madam Pomfry?" I guessed I was in the hospital wing.
"Oh,dear,how are you feeling?"
"I feel,I feel." I was the talking hurt my chest.
"Tired?Yes you would,now lay down and sleep somemore,when you next wake up we will give you some medication."
"Thank-" I fell back into a deep sleep.
"Madam Pomfry,what happend?I thought it was just a cold." The familar drawling voice crept into my after five years I knew he meant well.
"Well it's seems that she,well she,she has pneumonia."
"What's that?"
"A muggle illness,she will recover,all she needs is warmth and rest,and a special potion I am brewing."
