Kay woke up with a start

Kay woke up with a start. Today was just another typical day in the life of Kayla Hatter, but it seemed different, something was going to happen. Kay's birthday had passed in a flash, she was now fifteen-years-old. It seemed weird to most people, a fifteen-year-old girl living by herself in England. It even seemed weird to Kay, and she was that girl. It was now July 20^th and Kay had yet not received a letter from Hogwarts. She quickly got dressed and went to her closet.

"Which color today?" she asked herself while looking at the different colored robes. She decided after five minutes to wear her white robe. As she walked down the stairs she kept feeling that something bad and something good was going to happen. As she sat down to the kitchen table the bad news came, the Daily Prophet had arrived and the shocking news was on the front page: He-who-must-not-be-named Strikes Again.

Kay refused to read it; it brought back to many memories. The good news arrived shortly after, a letter from Hogwarts:

Dear Ms. Hatter,

You have been gladly accepted to Hogwarts. Under your circumstances, the headmaster wishes for you to come a day early. Term starts September first so please be here August the 31^st. Enclosed is a list of all you required school things.

Kay took out the other piece of parchment, the school list.

"I guess that's another trip to Gringrotts." Kay said to herself, "And Diagon Alley. Well, I might as well go today and get it over with."

Kay finished her breakfast and went into the living room. She went over to her dining room table and started to work on what was left of the paperwork. Sighing sometimes wondering what it would be like if she didn't have this paperwork. Her watch went off at 10:30 reminding her she needed to leave for Diagon Alley. Kay grabbed the flowerpot off of the mantle and threw it into the fire.

"Diagon Alley." She shouted before walking into the fire. Kay tucked her arms to her side and closed her eyes; she was spinning to fast for her liking. Kay landed with a plop onto the ground. "Next time, I Apperate." She said to herself.

Kay picked herself up and looked around for Gringrotts. She, of course, found it and started walking across to it. The doors opened and Kay, not noticing what she was doing, slammed straight into someone else.

"Sorry!" she said not looking at the person, but when she did, she noticed he was with seven other people, who of which five had flaming red hair.

"Kayla Hatter. Is that you?" A plump little witch asked.

"M-Mrs. Weasley." she stuttered.

"It is you. You still look like your mother, may she rest in peace."

"T-thank you."

"What brings you here, dear?"

"I'm going to Hogwarts this year, and I moved here at the end of May."

"I thought your father was still in the United States."

"He is. I'm living by myself."

"By yourself, but your only 15!"

"The Ministry gave me a house in Godric's Hollow."

"Well, I see your still playing Quidditch." She said changing the subject.

"Yes, I just got a new broomstick, from my father. After what happened to my –er-other one."

"Oh, well, it's nice to see you dear."

"You too Mrs. Weasley. 'Bye." Kay said while waving and going into the bank.

"She's such a nice girl."

"Mom you know her?" Ron said speechless from the site of Kay.

"Her parents went to Hogwarts with us. They moved to the United States right before she was born, it still surprises me how much she is like her mother."

"Well, Molly. Let's get moving, we don't have all day." Her husband said while ushering them away from the back.

Kay walked out of the bank and onto the sidewalk of Diagon Alley. She looked into the windows of some stores and stopped at Flourish and Blotts. As she walked in she had the feeling something was going to happen. As though right on cue a fight started to occur. Kay looked up dodging a bookcase that was about to fall on her. Two boys were fighting, one was pink skinned and had blonde hair, the other hade very untidy black hair and emerald green eyes. Kay walked out of harms way and over to where the boys were fighting. She went straight up to them and stopped. Kay had pushed the two boys apart and had almost thrown the blonde haired boy against the wall but was stopped by two enormous boys.

"Draco, I'm glad to see your still alive, unfortunately." she said.

"Aww, Kayla's come back to England. What the American's make fun of your Mudblood mother."

"What did you just call my mother?" Kay yelled.

"A Mudblood and are you too proud of your family name to hear it?"

Kay lunged at Draco and was now punching him in the stomach. "Don't…You…Ever…Call…My…Mother…That!" Kay got off of him and stood up. Draco was still gasping for air as she smiled at the Weasley's. "If I had a galleon every time I've faced someone like you, to arrogant to noticed the truth, I would be richer than you could imagine!" she yelled at him. Kay picked up her books that she had bought and left, but before leaving she had said one more thing to him, "Je vous déteste."
