"We have an exchange student here with us this year also. Katrina Crystal
and we will start with her in the sorting, so Katrina, please sit on this
stool, and the hat will do the rest." Dumbledore said, motioning towards
the stool.
She did as she was told. The hat was placed on her head, and jumped, as it spoke. "I see. your half veela, half witch. that's very good combination. a first to prove your strength and bravery. I know where to put you! GRYFFINDOR!!" It said, and she went towards Hermione. She looked at Malfoy, who looked surprised and shocked.
The sorting went great, they got loads of Gryffindor people, and then they ate.
Harry ate fast, eager to talk to Sirius after-words, and to get their schedules. When Harry got his schedule, his eyes lit up, and he went to go get Hermione or Ron. They were in the Gryffindor common room. 'I'm home.' Harry thought. He found Ron was un-packing then showed him their schedule.
"We're in Defense against the Dark Arts everyday! We're with Slytherin!" Harry said. He grinned mischievously. 'This is going to be fun!' both thought slyly
. "Harry, we have Defense against the Dark Arts tomorrow!" Ron said.
"Yes! No more Divinations, too! Aww. We have Arithmancy, though." Harry responded with a smile.
They went back down ½ the stairs when Harry stopped Ron.
Hermione and Katrina were talking. ".and he kissed me!" Hermione said, smiling.
"You and famous Harry Potter are together? You're so lucky!" Katrina said.
"I don't like him because he's famous. I actually love him!" Hermione said, blushing. Harry crept towards the painting opening and with the invisibility cloak over him and Ron, and he heard snickers behind the painting.
"RON!! Get the map! Take this!" Harry said, giving Ron the cloak.
About 10 seconds later, Ron was there with the Marauder's Map that Fred and George gave him their third year. Harry put his wand on it, and said, "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good," and there were three dots right in front of Harry Potter and Ron Weasely.
They read, "Draco Malfoy," "Vincent Crabbe," and "Gregory Goyal." Harry looked at Ron, nodded and they both shoved the painting open, smashing Malfoy and his cronies to the wall.
Harry looked at the smashed bugs, and then said with a lopsided grin, "Sorry, Draco, didn't see you there!"
Ron just laughed at them, and took out his wand.
Draco got up, as he saw Harry go for the dreaded wand that killed his father's 'master', and could hurt him badly. "S-S-Sorry H-Harry.I w-was looking f-for you." He stuttered.
Harry and Ron put their wands back. "Malfoy, you found me. What do you want? Why were you eavesdropping on my girlfriend and her sister, hmm?" Harry said, acting mean.
"You know, it's funny, because getting smashed by paintings makes me forget!" Draco said, running off with Crabbe and Goyal right on his heels.
Harry and Ron burst out laughing. "Did you. see his.face.when we took. out our wands?" Harry said between laughs, getting back in the common room with the password (Bertie Botts Beans)."
"I forgot. what we were. going to do before. Draco." Ron said, before he stopped laughing. Hermione sat her head in Harry's lap when he sat beside her on the couch.
"What are you laughing about, Harry?" she asked, as Ron sat beside Katrina, who had her head on his shoulder, and they didn't even notice their position.
Harry told them the whole thing, and Katrina got up, to go talk to Draco. Harry just sat there, playing with Hermione's hair and thinking. Soon enough, Katrina came in, and sat beside Ron, who just stared up at nothing. Katrina put her head back on his shoulder, and they both fell asleep.
Harry just laughed a little, but Hermione had gone to sleep. Harry got sleepy, picked up Hermione and carried her to her own dorm. Harry went and woke up Ron, picked up Katrina, but Ron went and took her away to bed instead.
Harry woke up in the morning with only 5 minutes till breakfast was over. He got up, got dressed, got his bag ready, ate a hurried breakfast, and dashed up to Defense against the Dark Arts class, 3 minutes too late. He sat in between Hermione and Ron in the front.
"Well, Harry, I thought you'd be here sometime soon! Now, if you'll open your books to page three, we'll talk about the disarming spell." Sirius said, opening his own book. During the lesson, Harry, Hermione and Ron helped the others, by letting them take their wands away from them, and giving pointers.
In the last 5 minutes, Professor Dumbledore came in, asking for Harry, Hermione, and Ron.
"We're in trouble, aren't we?" Harry asked Dumbledore.
"No, No. I wanted to tell you three that you're all prefects for Gryffindor! All three of you are!" Dumbledore said, winking.
They knew they were picked because they could handle almost anything. They thanked him, and walked back in with smiles on their faces.
"Potter, Weasely, and Granger, stay back a little, please. I want to talk to you." Sirius said, with a twinkle in his eyes, but sounded like he knew they were up to something.
After class, they stayed behind. "What are you three up to now?" Sirius asked.
"We're all prefects!" Harry said, smiling.
"Oh, then go on now! See you at lunch!" Sirius said. The next day, Harry was officially Harry Potter Black.
Dumbledore just HAD to announce it to the whole school. "Attention, please!" McGonagall said, and everyone hushed.
"Today, we should recognize that our very own Harry Potter has successfully been adopted by Professor Sirius Black! Now, let the feast begin!" Everyone clapped at this, and both Sirius and Harry blushed at this, and looked at their hands.
After supper, Harry, Hermione and Ron decided to roam the school for people to take points from.
By about 9:30, Slytherin had -15 points, Ravenclaw had -10, Hufflepuff had -5, and Gryffindor had -5 (they decided to lessen the points on their house because it was three first years that were lost.)
The next day, they had gotten through Potions with only 5 points taken away. "Alright! That's a new record for us!" Ron said, sarcastically as they reached the Common Room. Hermione said, "Snuffle Sprouts", which made the Fat Lady swing forward.
Harry and Ron went to go get their school bags for their homework and everything else they needed, and Hermione, already having all she'll need, got a space for them to do their homework.
When they got back, Hermione had a table low enough for them to do homework on the couch. Harry sat down on one corner of the couch, while Ron sat on the other side. Harry had his feet up where his knees were bent, offering a back-rest for Hermione, as she laid her head on his knees, cuddling up close.
About 2 minutes later, Dumbledore and Sirius came up in through the entrance hole, asking for the three to come up in his office.
"Professor, if this is about roaming the halls, we wanted to help make sure everyone was in their dorms! We were doing-" Ron said quickly, but got cut off by Sirius.
"No, it's not that. This is GOOD news, actually. Better news than anything, for Harry, as you two, being his best friends."
"What's better than Voldemort dead? What's better than going to live with you?" Harry said, looking at Sirius and Dumbledore.
Hermione could've sworn she heard Harry say, "And what's better than Hermione's love and Ron's friendship?" When they got to Dumbledore's office, Sirius stood behind Harry as Hermione and Ron sat on either side of him in comfy chairs in front of Dumbledore's desk.
"Harry, we have recently gotten message that you had more than a Mother and Father when you were younger. You had, have, a little sister. She's younger by about eleven minutes. Her name is Katherine Taylor Potter. She was found about a half mile away from your parents; she must have crawled away or something, but didn't figure she was your sister. They took her in as their own." Dumbledore explained, looking straight at Harry.
"Harry, you're going to meet her in abut 1-2 days. Just depending on how fast her train ride to Paris is. She looks so much like your mother." Sirius said, tears in his eyes.
'He must miss mum and dad a lot.' Harry thought, turning around to hug Sirius. Everyone was grinning, but not Harry.
He was crying. "Harry, what's wrong?" Ron asked, as Sirius and Hermione hugged him.
"I'm not an only child! I have a sister! Katherine, Kathy. My sister, wow! I have a sister!" Harry said.
"Harry, I'm not going to be the only girl in this group! Well, Katrina likes Draco, but she's my sister." Hermione said, smiling. "Wonder if she likes reading." She said, thoughtfully, sitting back down.
'Wonder what she's like.' Ron thought, 'Katrina's like another sister, not a girlfriend' the next day and a half Harry spent getting ready for Katherine.
He tried to make his hair go flat, to no avail, and tried to get information from Sirius, but Sirius knew as much as Harry. All he knew was that she looked like Lily, Harry's mother.
Today was Saturday, and Harry was just getting the Snitch at Quidditch practice when he saw Dumbledore come out on the field with a girl that Harry could've mistaken for a walking picture of his mother.
He lost the Snitch and flew down towards them, while the rest of the team followed suit.
"Who's that?" "What's she doing on the field?", and "She's pretty" were some of the remarks Harry heard when he stopped, still on his broom.
"This is Katherine Taylor Potter, Harry's younger twin sister. Please, resume your game, and I'll take Harry." Dumbledore said, smiling.
"Professor, can I play with Harry? I want to fly, please?" Katherine said, meekly.
"She can play seeker with me, just to get the Snitch once. I don't think the others are up to catching it alone." Harry said, getting the idea, "I won't hurt her!"
"Okay, go on." Dumbledore said, smiling and walking off.
"Thanks for bringing her. I was thinking I was the only Potter left." Harry said, hoping Dumbledore heard. He did.
"Katrina, get on behind me, and you can get the Snitch if you want to." Harry said, scooting up on his broom and helping her up.
She held onto his waist when they were going up higher. Hermione saw this, not knowing that this girl was Kathy. She'd never seen a picture of Harry's parents, so she didn't even have a clue.
Hermione, thinking Harry was cheating on her, thought up a spell she'd read about, then decided to try it.
"Accio Firebolt!" yelled Hermione, pointing her wand at Harry and Kathy.
Harry closed his eyes when his broom started going the other way, expecting to fly into something. Right when the broom turned, Katherine got the Snitch.
Harry was baffled when he opened his eyes to see Hermione right in front of him, her eyes were fiery red, and her face was the color of Ron's hair.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? WHO IS SHE!?!?!?!" she yelled. Harry knew what Hermione must be thinking.
She did as she was told. The hat was placed on her head, and jumped, as it spoke. "I see. your half veela, half witch. that's very good combination. a first to prove your strength and bravery. I know where to put you! GRYFFINDOR!!" It said, and she went towards Hermione. She looked at Malfoy, who looked surprised and shocked.
