Until Death Do Us Part
Chapter Two: Kaitlyn or Star?
Disclaimer: I'm getting tired of writing these things! But either way, I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters except Kaitlyn. Everything else belongs to the amazing J.K. Rowling.
This story is dedicated to Britty,(check out her stories) but this chapter is dedicated to OceanRain! Thanks for all of your helpful reviews!
She had been out all day, but noone seemed to pity her. Perhaps she hadn't whimpered or whined enough. Her pantry was almost empty. The food that was left was being eaten by a strange creature that Kaitlyn had no intention of killing. This meant that Kaitlyn would have to go back to Hogsmeade to get more food. She decided to try Diagon Alley instead of Hogsmeade for a change. She had thought about going to a Muggle town, she had even tried it. Muggles didn't seem to care about "helpless" creatures very much.
So, the next morning she set out once more.
"I should be gone until dusk; or maybe tomorrow." Kaitlyn told Kreacher. A huge smile spread across his dirty face.
She stepped outside and transformed into a big black dog again. She remembered when she used to do this with her friends. More tears misted her view, but she blinked them away. It wasn't until mid-afternoon when she arrived at Diagon Alley. She made her way through the mass of wizards. Perfect. School must be starting soon. The young students and their parents were there to buy school supplies.
Kaitlyn targeted Ollivanders first. The soft, sensitive first years would be coming in and out after purchasing their wands. Hopefully they all had good hearts and would provide her with food.
The turnout wasn't as big as she had expected, but still she ate ravenously. After her stomach was full, she decided to stay and watch everyone bustle around. A flood of memories rushed back, as she watched three kids argue about their animals. She tried to push those memories aside.
She had to cock her head to get a better look. A red-head boy was yelling at a brown-haired girl because her cat had attempted to eat his rat. She chuckled to herself as the cat clawed its way up the boys shirt, looking for the rat. Another boy with black hair and glasses tried to rip the cat off. It took her only a couple moments to realize who the boy was. It was none other than Harry Potter.
Her tail began to wag furiously as she thought about what to do. This boy was her godson that she wasn't allowed to se or talk to. She wasn't just going to let this chance slip away.
Kaitlyn walked up to him and brushed up against his leg.
"Now there's a bloody dog in the mix. Scabbers will be dead before I know it." The read-haired boy whose name was Ron said.
Harry abandoned his attempt to pull the cat off Ron's chest. He bent down and stroked her head.
"Nice dog." He said. He scratched behind her ears.
"Too bad dogs aren't allowed at Hogwarts." The girl reminded him.
"I know, but aren't pets allowed in the Leaky Cauldron?" Harry asked the girl, who was Hermione. Kaitlyn's spirts rose instantly.
"I suppose so." Hermione said thoughtfully.
"Harry, I'm sure Dumbledore wouldn't mind if you had a dog at school. I mean, with everything that you've told us." Ron glanced at Hermione.
"I'll write to him when I go back to the Leaky Cauldron. I still have to buy some stuff." Harry stood up and started walking to wherever he was going.
Kaitlyn followed. Now she could protect Harry. And she'd get to see Hogwarts again.
~~~~~~~~~Back at the Leaky Cauldron some hours later~~~~~~~~~
"Are you staying here too then? Harry asked his two friends.
"Mum says we are. Hermione's staying with us." Ron informed Harry and Kaitlyn.
"So, Tom said you could keep her? Harry nodded. What are you going to name her?" Hermione inquired.
"Star. Look at that star above her eye. It's a perfect fit." Harry smiled at his own intelligence.
Kaitlyn smiled to herself. Star. Not too bad at all. She gave a happy bark as she thought about how happy Kreacher would be when she didn't return home.
Kaitlyn was awoken by the sound of tapping on the window. It must be Dumbledore;s reply. Harry had written yo him last night. He had read the note aloud to Ron and Hermione. Dumbledore couldn't say no.
She couldn't wait until Harry woke up, so she started to lick his face. The headmaster had to allow him to bring a dog to school with him.
"Wha- What is it Star?" Harry rubbed his eyes and looked around. When he realized that his owl was tapping on his window, he jumped out of bed, tripping over her tail. Harry opened the window. By now Ron had woken up and was staring wildly at Harry and his owl, Hedwig.
"Sorry, I didn't caatch that last bit. Was it, I'll wake you in the morning, or I'll wake you when my damn owl taps on the bloody window" Ron said.
"Sorry. I'm sure that it's Dumbledore." Ron was not catching on. "His answer Ron. About Star."
"Oh righto then." Ron seemed more cheerful now.
He reminded Kaitlyn of Sirius. And James really. Never quite catching onto the conversation. Yet, they were extremely intelligent. Her thoughts were interrupted by Harry's voice. He began to read the letter.
"Hello Harry! Glad to hear you're doing all right. I've thought about your request, and Professor McGonagall agrees that- He stopped. Ron had spoken.
"If McGongall agrees it must be a no." Ron said grimly. Harry continued anyway. "- agrees that it would be in your best interest if this dog accompanies you at Hogwarts this year."
Harry did not read the rest. His smile was not letting any words escape his mouth.
"Wonderful. You can tell Hermione tomorrow. She wouldn't be too happy if you woke her up now. I should know."
~A/N~ A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY REVIEWERS! *hugs you all around the neck and ends up choking everyone.* Oops luckily someone grabbed me before I ended up killing you! I like this chapter a lot! I didn't know what I was going to do with the story, but thankfully I got bored in Study Hall (again) and had an inspiration to write again. So I started writing and got "reinspired" to continue!
I would like to apologize to everyone for this update taking about 3 or 4 weeks! I had two 3 day weekends and then 2 snow days in a row. I just got lazy and did other things on the computer! Believe me, I didn't forget about you or my story. It's funny I had sooooooo many dreams about this story! The next update shouldn't take too long! PLEASE REVIEW THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
