Chapter 20
Halfway back to the tower Harry ran into Kagato.
"Did you see her Harry?"
"No, Professor Lupin stopped me before I could get there." Harry paused. "Kagato? What exactly did Dumbledore tell you and Alex?"
Kagato shook his head.
"Harry, I don't think I should be the one who..."
"Just tell me. Lupin told me something and I just want to verify it."
Kagato frowned.
"Well, basically that she's some chosen warrior. And a few things about her parents. Pretty much what Cat had showed us in that book of hers. It sounded like a bunch of nonsense if you ask me."
Harry nodded.
"They're not going to let you in to see her. But if you're going to try, I'm coming with you."
Kagato smiled and they both down the hall to the hospital wing.
Cat was pounding on the doors to the hospital.
"Let me in there damn it! I won't let you take her, now let me in! Bloody hell! Open the damn door!"
Dumbledore open the doors and closed them quickly behind him. He stood in Cat's way.
"Cat, I must ask you to go back to Gryffindor. Your being here is not helping matters my dear."
"With all do respect Professor, they are only going to get her killed. I will not stand back and watch it happen." Cat was shaking in anger.
"Please, calm down. Your mistrust of them is misplaced. As is their mistrust of you. There is nothing that you can do right now. Well there is one thing, keep you housemates from trying to come down here. Now please, Cat. I promise, she will not leave this school."
Cat sighed.
"I'm sorry Professor. I'll do as you ask. But if they so much as touch her, I will not be responsible for what I do to them."
Dumbledore nodded and went back inside. Cat started back for Gryffindor when she saw Kagato and Harry. She stopped and crossed her arms.
"Turn around and go back. You can't go in to see her. Dumbledore asked me to keep all Gryffindors away from the hospital."
Harry shook his head and looked from Kagato to Cat.
"Cat, come on. It's us. We have to see her. You know we aren't going to leave until we do."
"Harry, if I couldn't get in to see her, then no one will be able to. Now let's go. Back to the common room." Harry nodded and started back.
Kagato shook his head. Harry turned around and stared at him. Kagato didn't move.
"Not until I see her. Not until I know that she's ok. I'm not going back to the tower Cat."
"Kagato, please don't argue with me. We can't get in there. Come on now, let's go."
Kagato still didn't move.
"I will get in there to see her." Harry grabbed his arm.
"Kagato, come on. If Cat says we can't get in, we can't get in."
He jerked his arm out of Harry's grasp.
"I will see her."
Kagato's eye seem to turn yellow for a split second and he started off to the hospital again. Harry and Cat exchanged looks. Cat pulled out her wand and pointed it at Kagato.
"Kagato I am really sorry about this. Stupefy."
Kagato froze and dropped to the floor. Harry stood there with his mouth open.
"Remind me never to make you angry Cat."
"Never mind that. Help me get him back to the common room Harry."
He nodded as he took one of Kagato's arms while Cat took the other. They dragged him back to Gryffindor.
