They had offered her a room above the shop, which she was extremely grateful for. It saved her a ton of trouble. She had arranged the small apartment in a boring/nothing-in-this-room-or-the-next kind of fashion.

Her bed, which was an old pull out sofa, lay in the middle of the biggest room. On top of the pull-out bed, was a moderately happy, Katie Potter.

She had bought new clothes with her first days wages, and had hurriedly changed and burned her other clothes. When the night shift had ended at 8:30 pm, the twins had already been home for two hours. Katie had locked up the store, did a spell to re-stock the store, then gone upstairs to her new home. She slept very little. She knew she should have slept, but she had a lot on her mind. And, who could blame her?

She rolled off the bed, and walked to the miniscule kitchen. She opened her Muggle fridge, and thanked Merlin for the Weasley's kindness. The two boys really didn't do anything most of the day, and had brought her dinner, and filled her fridge. Though, why there was a Muggle item in the wizard shop, she didn't know.

She grabbed one of the butterbeers, and gulped it down before hearing a tap on the window.

"Hello there darlin." She opened the window and let the owl in. It was a large tawny owl, with bright green eyes. It had a large envelope in its mouth. Katie took it, and petted the owl's head. She gave it a piece of bread off of the table, and sent it back on its way.

The envelope was plain, with 'Katlyn' written on the front in hen scratch. She opened the envelope and pulled out a letter.

Dear Katie,

This may seem odd, to be writing when was could obviously apparate over, but we were wondering if you would like to join us for Sunday luncheon at our parent's house?

Fred & George

P.S. The owl's name is Marko, and Fred says Hi!

She laughed, and looked at the window. Marko was still there. She opened the window again. "Back so soon?" She scrawled a small response on the envelope saying she'd like to, but can't attend the luncheon, and sent him on his way again.

Sundays and Thursdays were her days off. Not only did she want to savor her first days off, but she knew there was a great chance Sirius and Remus would be there.

"Good try Weasleys."

She took a quick shower and went back to bed.
