A/N: This is my first Harry Potter story, so please let me know what you think. Also, Hermione's nickname, Ony, is pronounced awe-knee
"Why didn't you tell me that you were coming?" Hermione asked as they walked up to the Griffyndor common room.
"Never got a chance to. Fearchar arrived three days ago with Professor Dumbledore's letter."
"What's it like in the U.S.?"
"Not much different than here Ron, different accents, different styles."
"If your from the states, how come you don't have their accent, sounds more like you have a Scottish or Irish accent to me." Ginny asked.
"I wasn't born in the states, I just went to school there, my mother's family is from the states."
"So where did you live before the states?" Harry asked
"Until I was five I lived in Scotland, then I moved here to England until I was ten. Then I moved to the states."
"Bloody hell, you've been everywhere."
Kat laughed, "Not quite Ron."
"Hello."
Everyone paused and turned around to see Fred and George behind them.
"Hey, I'd like you to meet my cousin Kat, Kat this is Fred and George Weasly."
"Hello." Kat said softly.
"Hello."
"Have we met before?"
I don't think so." Kat replied.
"Yeah George, I think I'd remember meeting her."
"I don't know Fred, you don't remember very much anyway."
"Shut up George." Fred replied and the two started arguing. The others quickly made their way around them and continued down the hallway.
"So, did they tell you the password?" Harry asked as they came up to the picture of the fat lady.
"Yes, it's." Kat began before the fat lady interrupted her.
"Well I'll be, look who's back. Haven't seen you in quite some time."
"What?" Ron asked confused looking at the lady in the picture.
"I stopped by earlier, that's how she knows me." Kat said softly.
"Oh, that makes sense." Ron replied.
"Of course it does, what else could it possibly mean?" Hermione asked indignantly.
"Sorry Herm, I didn't mean anything by it really." He said quickly as they walked through the opening into the common room.
Hermione snorted, before Kat replied with a soft smile. "It's ok Ron, I understand."
"So, what room are you going to be in?" Ginny asked as they sat down.
"Actually, I have my own room. The sixth years room is full as you know, so they opened a room at the top of the staircase for me."
"There's a room at the top of the staircase?" Harry asked surprised.
"Its not used very often, only once every hundred years or so. It's the room Cedric Griffyndor used when they first opened the school."
Fred whistled, then replied, "No wonder we never heard of it."
"Yeah, well, I hate to be a party pooper, but I'm exhausted." Kat said softly.
"No problem, we all should probably get some sleep." Hermione replied standing up. Everyone agreed, then made their way up to their rooms.
