Chapter 4: Butterbeer and Gringotts.
Kitty laughed, "You're telling me you have not heard of coca cola?"
The woman nodded her head innocently, "No miss, what is it?"
"Well Coke is definitely one of the world's most popular drinks, it's a soda."
"Hmm well we should definitely look into getting some for the trip back home, but no Miss we don't have any at the moment. Just Pumpkin juice and nice cold Butterbeer."
"Butterbeer sounds good," said Kitty
"They are really good. You won't regret it." Said the half forgotten boy still standing in the doorway.
"I'll try some, thanks, we'll have two. I guess we'll have some chocolate frogs too. Thanks."
The lady started down the hallway, and suddenly Kitty remembered that she had forgotten to pay the woman.
"Hold up a second!" she said after the woman. "I forgot to pay for it!"
She showed the woman her ten-dollar bill. The woman took it from her and held it up to the ceiling light.
"We'll isn't that interesting...Hmmm...I've never seen one of these before. Do you think they can exchange this at Gringotts?"
"Gringotts?" asked Kitty, confused.
"Yes...honey Gringotts Bank."
"Well I suppose any Bank would exchange that for any currency you want." replied Kitty.
"Honey are you okay?" asked the woman, "Did that evil Malfoy boy do something to you too?"
"Ummm I don't think so..." replied Kitty, "Why would you ask that?"
"Your memory seems to be a bit off." Said the woman. "Here you know what I'll give you this for free, and take an extra box of chocolate frogs just so you feel better soon. Mr. Potter," she said turning to the observer, "Would you mind looking after these two for me? I'll send and owl to Professor McGonagall informing her of the happens on this train."
"Yes Madam," responded the boy, "Here come in welcome to our compartment," said the boy turning to Kitty and her bewildered boyfriend, "There's is not much room but I think we will fit fine."
Kitty and Jack entered the room to find a bushy haired brunette "This is my friend Hermione Granger." Said the boy, "Ronald Weasley" he pointed to a boy with bright red hair, "and-."
"Neville! Good to see you again!" said Kitty recognizing the boy immediately.
"Hey Kitty how are you doing?" responded Neville.
"You two know each other?" said the boy with the glasses.
"Yup we just met outside not too long ago." Said Kitty. "Oh and by the way this is Jack Levenski, and I am Katherine Cummings although my friends call me either Kitty or Kat, pick your choice. I have a lot of names."
There was a moment of confusion as there was some moving to allow Jack and Kitty to sit. It was kind of awkward, as they had to move Hermione's cat by the name of Crookshanks, the two owl cages, and a fairly large pile of sweets not familiar to Kitty but all of them looking delicious. Finally they all sat down comfortably on the chairs. Jack looked at the boy who they had first met out in the hall.
"Sorry," he said "But I don't think I caught your name."
"You're telling me you don't know who he is?" said Ron.
"Nope" said Jack.
"You're serious!" said Ron, "Bloody brilliant Harry! And I thought there was no one in the world that didn't know you."
"Shut Up Ron!" said Harry, "I'm Harry, Harry Potter."
"Nice to meet you!" said Jack.
This is really refreshing for a change thought Harry shaking Jack's hand and in turn Kitty's, I'm glad not everyone knows about my existence.
"You really don't know who he is don't you?" said Neville receiving a warning glance from Harry, "He's the reason You-Know-Who hasn't been around for thirteen years. That scar on his head-." "Stop it Neville." Said Harry warningly, but Neville had Kitty hooked.
"What do you mean 'You-Know-Who'?" said Kitty.
"You-Know-Who? He's only the worst wizard this world has seen!" said Ron. Hermione who was lost in a book untitled Standard Book of Spells Year 6 until now looked up from her reading with a confused look on her face.
"You have to know about him!" said Hermione, "The worst wizard ever to be in the wizarding world."
"Wizard?" inquired Kitty "Those aren't real are they?" she looked at Jack.
"Oh boy!" said Hermione, "I think that spell hit them harder than Malfoy meant it too."
Kitty laughed, "You're telling me you have not heard of coca cola?"
