Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters or anything to do with Harry Potter. but I'm saving up! ^_^

(A/N: Ok so I haven't written in ages but no one has really replied because I had to move it to Harry Potter. Thanks anyway Selena for you I'll keep writing! What are friends for! Anyway on with the next chapter.)

Katherine slowly opened her eyes. "No Ma! It's too early! Wake me up later!" "Katherine, Katherine can you hear me?" Sissi's voice was distant Kat's eyes slowly focused "Ooh" she moaned "what happened?" "That's what I was hoping you'd tell me!" Sissi said voice worried. "I just felt." Kat searched her brain for the right word but couldn't find it "weird?." She looked around and noticed familiar faces, Katrina, Selena, Erin, Joey, Aliciac, McKensey and Kat's other friends and family then she noticed someone else. "Aunty Arwen?" Kat whispered "Is that you?" Slowly the woman approached and knelt beside Kat's bed. "Yes" she whispered her voice as soft as Kat's "but call me Professor Skysong and act as if we are friends not family no one must find out!" "Why?" Kat asked eyebrows raised Arwen scrolled at Kat "You know better then to ask questions" "But why are you here?" Kat asked "Because I'm the new Defence Against The Dark Arts Teacher" was Arwen's whispered reply. "Oh" was Kat's only reply Just then Madame Pomfrey strolled in, took one look at Kat's large audience and frowned "You can all leave now, Kat will be fine" Madame Pomfrey addressed the large group "in fact she will be out in 5 minutes! Now you may leave and wait outside if you want to talk further, Now shoo!" "Meanie" was Erin's whisper, Selena heard and nudged her "shush!" "Well it's true!" was Erin's remark and they all left.

Inside, Kat sighed and pulled back her covers to get dressed. "Wait a minute" Madame Pomfrey's voice was stern "You must have some Willowbark tea" Kat groaned and Madame Pomfrey tutt-tut-tutted, "I know it tastes horrible but it will make you feel better!" Kat sighed and took the cup, quickly she swallowed and pulled a face at the horrible taste "Yuck!" Madame Pomfrey smiled "But you feel better, right?"

Kat waited a second and knew that she was right

"Yes, you're right, thank you" Madame Pomfrey smiled again "Oh it was my pleasure!" Kat slowly slipped out of the bed and put on her school uniform. With a final thankyou Kat left the room only to be bombarded by questions from her friends. "What happened?" "Are you alright?" "Do you feel sick?" Kat just laughed "Really guys I'm ok!" They all sighed "Alright, we'll take your word from it" Selena said.

Meanwhile in an underground lair

"What is this I hear about the girl, Katherine fainting?" The voice screamed again "She did my lord" Wormtail quivered, "Then why didn't you kill her?" The voice was high and cold, "There were. to many people around my lord" was Wormtail's soft reply "I'm sorry" Something flashed and Wormtail screamed in pain "Next time you won't be so lucky!" was the voices only reply, Knowing he had been dismissed Wormtail quickly mumbled "Yes my lord" and hurried out. Why did he want this girl dead? Wormtail wondered.

Back at Hogwarts

By the time the girls had finished with Kat, they realised it was time for the Sorting Hat Ritual and the Welcoming Feast. The girl's tummies rumbled at the thought of this and slowly made their way down to the Great Hall. Once inside noise and commotion hit their ears "Aah there's nothing like the loud sound of people talking after being in a quiet bed!" Kat whispered those who heard laughed. "Kat over here!" A voice called Kat looked around and her eyes fell on the Slytherin table where Draco Malfoy was waving his hand. Kat smiled and walked over "Hey" She smiled and sat down next to Draco ignoring the glare Pansy gave her. The rest of Kat's friend's seated either across from her or on either side of her and Draco. "So." Kat could just here Draco's voice over the noise, It sounded concerned "I heard you fainted" Kat blushed "Yeah I did." She admitted "But not because of the blood this weird feeling just came over me!" "No need to worry it wasn't anything big" she added quickly noticing Pansy's glare, Slowly she turned to face Pansy and poked out her tongue, then quickly turned back to face Draco again.

Suddenly the room went quiet. Dumbledore had signalled for silence. "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts" He began Slowly the Great Halls doors opened and in came Professor Mcgonagall and her flow of first years, Kat noticed a few familiar faces, Emily, Holly (A/N: hee hee ^^ Erin knows who I'm talking about!) Destiny and Roxy. Kat waved, She knew these people from Hogsmead where they all used to meet up and have the occasional butterbeer. They all waved back, though the eyes kept darting around the room. Professor Mcgonagall had reached the front and now stood before the entire room, Silence fell once again, "Once I call your name please come up and sit on this stool" All eyes fell to the stool,

"You can keep your bowlers black, Your top hats sleek and tall, But I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat and I can cap them all! There's nothing hidden in your head the Sorting Hat can't see, So try me on and I'll tell you were you ought to be!"

"Silverwing, Roxy" Slowly Roxy walked up, Kat was one of the only people that knew Roxy's secret.

Roxy's Mom, Elizabeth Silverwing, had been a witch, Her father, George Silverwing, a muggle, When Roxy was 10 her Mom died of some unknown disease, Her father found out that his wife of 13 years had been a witch, He blamed magic for the reason she was dead and said Roxy was never allowed to study magic, Therefore on her 11th Birthday a note came in the post inviting Roxy to learn to become a witch at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her father said No, Later on in that year her father passed away, She was sent to live with her grandmother, Emily Silverwing, who said when the next term started she may go to Hogwarts. Roxy of course agreed, Since she would be 12 next year and was to old for a first year, Emily spoke to Dumbledore, Dumbledore agreed to let her in and said she may skip first year and move straight to 2nd only if Roxy promised to study hard. She did!

Roxy looked much like her Mom, Shoulder length, Dirty Blonde hair and eye's the colour of Midnight blue, Her complexion was fair, but dazzling Professor Mcgonagall lifted the Sorting Hat while Roxy sat, Slowly she placed the hat on Roxy's head, A few seconds later the hat shouted "SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherin table cheered, Kat the loudest, Roxy made her way to the table, Erin sitting on Kat's other side moved down a seat so Roxy could sit down. Next came Holly, "Rosethorn, Holly" Mcgonagall said Holly stepped forward, Holly had Chestnut coloured hair tied into a high ponytail, her eyes the shade of an Aqua Green. She was made a Slytherin. Then came Emily, Rosethorn, Emily" Mcgonagall said Emily like her sister stepped forward, Emily had the same colour hair as Holly on Emily's hair was shorter and her eyes were turquoise, Like her sister, Emily became a Slytherin Next was Destiny, Destiny had curly fiery red hair and piercing green eyes, She was also made a Slytherin. Next came a boy named Jonathan, He became a Gryffindor, So did 3 girls and another 2 boys, 3 girls and boys became Ravenclaw's and a further 3 girls and boys became Hufflepuff's. At last there was only 1 boy left, Kat leaned forward to get a better look, Her heart stopped A boy with brown hair that swiped away from a widow's peak and gorgeous green eyes stood there. Kat noticed that her looked about her age But why was he with the first years? Kat looked around the hall, noticing that she wasn't the only one that thought he was cute. Bunches of girls every where were pointing, giggling and flicking their hair, Kat rolled her eyes, Why fall for her when he had 100 other pretty girls to choose from, Dumbledore signalled for silence Kat leaned forward again interested in what he was going to say "Welcome to Hogwarts, First years!" Dumbledore's voice was cheerful "Before we start a few reminders." The rest of Dumbledore's speech Kat didn't listen to, Who was this boy? Why was he here?
