Harry felt very happy when he got the news that he would be leaving the Dersley's to go To stay with his godfather at the Order of the Phoenix hideout for the last two weeks of Summer. He was also happy because he would be able to see Ron and Hermione who he hadn't Really heard from all summer.
The day he arrived at the Orders hide out he noticed a tall red haired girl her back Turned to him and she was talking to Fred and George. Harry decided that this girl must be Ginny even though she would have had too grown five inches since the last time he'd seen her. "Ginny boy have you grown." The girl at the sound of his voice turned but as Harry got a good Look at her face he realized he'd been mistaken this wasn't Ginny. Fred and George snickered "That isn't our sister." The girl raised a red eyebrow and gave a smile only born to that of a Prankster.
"That is Katharine" came a familiar female voice. Harry turned in the direction of the Voice just as he thought Hermione. "Good to see you Harry I see you meet the new addition to The Weasleys family." Harry was really confused now he looked back at the girl who was now Leaning against the doorframe Hermione was standing by. "Ron never mentioned a sister named Katharine." Hermione was about to make a comment when Katharine stepped forward "that's Because I am not his sister I am his cousin."
Well that explained a lot Harry noticed Lupen Tonks and Moody enter in to the house Carrying his things. "Here you are Harry we need to get on to the meeting being held." Lupen said as he set down Harry's trunk and Hedwigs cage on the ground. "Thanks professor Lupen." Lupen gave him a tired smile "Hermione will show you to your room you will be sharing with Ron." After the three adults left Hermione cleared her throat "lets make proper introductions Shall we."
Katharine's sapphire eyes danced with laughter "yes go on Hermione introduce us Properly." Hermione didn't respond to her sarcastic reply but went on like nothing had been Said. "Harry this is Katharine Ron's cousin Katharine this is Harry Potter the one your cousin told you so much about." Katharine held out a pale hand that was lightly kissed with freckles. "Hello Harry glad to meet a friend of my cousins."
Harry stood there for a moment looking at her hand before he held his out to hers grabbing her hand and shaking it. "Pleasure to meet you Katharine." Fred and George walked over to join them giving Harry hard pats on the back. "Really Harry I cant see how you could have made the mistake of thinking she's our sister she looks nothing like us she has much to pointed of a nose." Katharine elbowed the closest twin in the stomach. "My noise is normal size thank you." Hermione looked at Harry with an expression across her face saying how immature can one be. Katharine saw the look she passed Harry and couldn't help but laugh out right. "Oh Hermione there's nothing wrong in having a little fun even ask Harry I am sure he will agree." Harry looked around at the four gazes locked on him and he decided he shouldn't answer that and he supposed it was up to him to stop a squabble from braking out. "I think I would like to be shown to where my room is now."
"Of course Harry I bet Ron will want to see you as well he was made to stay up in the room you share to clean it." Well that explained it Harry was wondering why Ron hadn't been down to greet him. "I think I will join the both of you Ron doesn't know I am here yet either and from the sounds of what his sister and the twins told me he has been ecstatically waiting for my coming." Hermione nodded in agreement "yes he's been hard to live with for the past few days ever since they got the letter of your coming." Hermione grabbed Headwigs cage while Harry took hold of his trunk. Katharine walked beside them not carrying anything at all she figured they had it handled.
"Mrs. Weasley put you boys up on the top floor across from Fred and Georges room that way the two of you could make as much noise as you wanted and the rest of the house wouldn't have to hear." Kathiren smirked "If that's the case maybe I should pack my things back up and move into Fred and Georges room I am the furthest thing from quiet." Hermione sighed rolling her eyes "dose Mrs. Weasley know how bad you are." Katharine shook her head still smirking "around dear Aunt Molly I am a perfect angle wouldn't want her thinking any other way then of course I am an angle I haven't done anything wrong." Harry looked over at Katharine's face and couldn't help but chuckle.
"So Harry did you come by train to?" Harry shook his head no "I flew on a broom stick here." Katharine noticed Harry struggling with his trunk on a step and she lift the other end to help him pull it up. "Lucky wish my dad would have let me come on broom but he said from Africa too here was too far to fly for a small girl." Harry was grateful for her help but she made him wonder why she was here in the first place. "Here we are ewww what is that disgusting smell?" Hermione asked covering her nose with her hand. "I am not sure Hermione but it's coming from over there which must be the twins room." Katharine dropped her end of Harry's trunk "they have a wise plan I bet you anything they have all there joke shop items in there and the smell is to keep Aunt Molly at bay."
Hermione made a gagging noise "Lets get into your room before my breakfast besides to show its self." Hermione turned the doorknob opening the door quickly and stepping in closely followed by Harry and Katharine. "Hi Harry" Ron's voice sounded muffled because his head was under the bed. "Hi Ron how did you know it was me?" Ron's head came out from under the bed. "Because we where expecting you and mum is in a meeting. Ron turned to face his direction and when his eyes fell upon Katharine they began to sparkle. "Kat you finally arrived." Ron jumped up off his knees and ran to his cousin giving her a hug. "This is grate my best friend and my cousin arriving on the same day." Katharine was beaming from ear to ear as she pulled back from him and fixed her shoulder length curly red hair that he had messed up. "Long time no see dear cousin how I have missed talking to you."
"Same here how are you doing Kat?" Ron looked a bit worried but Katharine just shrugged her shoulders. "I have been better but I don't want to talk about it right now." Ron seemed to understand so he turned his attention to Harry. "So how are you Harry sorry we where not allowed to write as much as we usually do mum said it wasn't safe." Harry left his trunk at the door "Its all right Ron I understand the circumstances." Harry's smile disappeared as he thought back to Voldermorts arising and Cedrics death. the whole reson why there had to be caution now.
"Hey Harry you all right?" Harry visibly shook himself and nodded "yah fine just thinking." Hermione had taken a seat on the closest bed and Headwigs cage set on the bed stand beside it. "Harry you look tired now that I look at you closer it doesn't look as if your sleeping well." Harry plopped down on the bed beside her Katharine remained standing next to Ron. "actually I haven't every time I close my eyes I see Cedrics face and the look that was on it when he died." Hermione wrapped an arm around his shoulders. "Harry it wasn't your fault you didn't know." Harry closed his eyes "but you see I cant help but feel it was my fault he died I should have tried harder to protect him." Harry's eyes opened again the looked like they held unshed tears. "No Harry you couldn't have done anything more." Ron who had been silent as Harry stated how he felt now spoke. "Hermione's right Harry it isn't your fault."
