Chapter 2~The Feast~
"Ready?" Fred asked Katie.
"Ready Freddy," Katie smiled.
George snickered behind Fred. Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny all followed Katie, Fred and George to a carriage. Since they were 2 seats short, Katie, Harry, Ron and Hermione crammed into one and Fred, George and Ginny climbed into another.
"So!" Katie started cheerfully as the carriages started moving. "How was your summer?"
"Mine was great! I went to Egypt and I saw Ron's brother and it was amazing! My mum was really scared though because-," Hermione started replying very fast. "Sorry."
"Well, my summer was pretty good too!" Ron said cheerfully. "Fred and George jinxed Percy's bed just last week so that whenever Percy fell asleep his bed would break. It was good fun, but then mum found out and she had a fit! It was only a little harmless fun!"
"Having your bed break is not 'harmless'," Hermione pointed out sternly.
"How 'bout you Harry?" Katie asked.
"Dreadful. The Dursley's have been terrible. Dudley gained a few more pounds and scared people into being his friend so they beat me up. But then I pointed my wand at him"-Hermione gasped-"and he let me be."
"What about you Katie?" Ron asked dreamily.
Harry stepped on his foot and Ron snapped back to reality. Ron blushed, Hermione rolled her eyes, and Katie just smiled.
"Let's just say I'm finally going back home," Katie said, indicating to the giant castle.
"You said it," Harry said, suddenly staring at Katie the exact same way Ron just had. Ron noticed this and angrily stepped on his foot. Hermione rolled her eyes and tsked at them. Katie smiled and pretended not to notice. When the carriages came to an abrupt stop, Hermione hot out first. Katie met up with Fred and George and Lee Jordan and started walking to the great hall.
"I think ickle Harry has a thing for me now," Katie laughed.
"Your quite the young man magnet," Lee teased.
"Can you blame them?" Katie asked doing a little pose.
"Who could resist you?" Fred asked seriously. Katie thought he meant it until he got down on one knee and said: "I've loved you for a long time. I just wish you would me the favor, of taking my hand in marriage."
"Mine too!" George chirped in.
"And young George, "Fred continued in the same mock lovesick voice.
Katie sat down on his knee and pinched his cheeks. "Your so cute at times."
He pretended to blush and Katie helped him up. They kept on walking and sat by each other in the Great Hall. Hermione, Harry, and Ron joined them. Ron sat next to Katie and Harry looked upset. Hermione rolled her eyes yet again and Fred and George snickered. Ginny had been bombarded by people in her own age group.
After only talking for a few seconds the new first years came in. All of them looked nervous. Katie held in a giggle. She remembered how nervous she was, but remembered how the Hat knows best.
"...on you head," Professor McGonagall was saying. Katie reminded herself to pay more attention. "Abiclomb, Maurie!"
A blonde girl with 100 too many freckles cautiously walked to the stage.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat shouted. The Hufflepuff table erupted in applause as Maurie hopped off the stool and took her seat.
"Ache, Maggie!" Professor McGonagall shouted.
"GRYFFINDOR!" The has boomed.
Katie and the others applauded. Soon they were all day dreaming about being back at Hogwarts. They just snapped back to reality when the last person was called.
Dumbeldore made his speech and announced that the feast had begun. Halfway through her meal she felt a foor rub against hers. It wasn't Ron because he was talking to Seamus next to him. Katie looked across the table and made eye contact with Harry. He blushed and the foot stopped. Katie felt disappointed and started rubbing her foot against his. His head shot up and he met her eyes. Katie smiled. Harry looked at Ron. He seemed to think it was OK, because he played footsie back. Fred and George snickered. George's was kind of cruel. Katie looked at them and saw that they could see under the table.
"Go Katie," Fred whispered to Katie.
"But what about Ron?" George asked him.
"Look at them! They make a VERY cute couple," Fred said.
"I can hear you," Katie whispered to him laughing.
Harry looked at them whispering and stopped.
"Maybe we shouldn't," Katie mouthed to him, pointing her head to Ron. Harry looked disappointed but nodded.
"Hey, Katie!" Fred said. "After the feast will you meet me outside the Great Hall?"
"Sure," Katie said nonchalantly, figuring he was just going to play a joke on her. But she was ready for him. After the feast al the students tiredly went to their Common room. Katie walked slowly, making them wait and preparing herself for the joke. When she walked through the doors she saw George with a dungbomb but he then walked away.
'That was weird,' Katie thought to herself.
She walked a few more steps and then a hand grabbed hers and she was dragged into a closet.
"Ready?" Fred asked Katie.
"Ready Freddy," Katie smiled.
George snickered behind Fred. Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny all followed Katie, Fred and George to a carriage. Since they were 2 seats short, Katie, Harry, Ron and Hermione crammed into one and Fred, George and Ginny climbed into another.
