Hating Love Chapter 5 The Arrival

Kat was on her way to Harry's compartment when she ran right into him. "This is starting to become a habit." Kat laughed.

Harry smiled "I was just coming to look for you."

"I'm fine. Drake would never hurt me." Kat rolled her eyes. -'At least not physically-' Kat thought.

Harry and Kat went back to their compartment. "We were worried. What took so long?" Ron said.

"Ron! If she doesn't want to tell us what she was talking about then she doesn't have to. It isn't any of our business why she was there for so long." Hermione told him.

"How long was I there for?" Kat asked.

"You were there for about half an hour." Harry answered.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to worry you guys. I totally lost track of time. I had to explain something to him." Kat said.

"What did you have to explain?" Harry asked.

"How about we just say I explained what needed to be explained. Let's leave it at that." Kat said.

"Looks like we are here." Hermione said.

They all left the train and went on the carriages. Hermione and Ron started to fight about something again. Kat just stayed quiet. Harry wondered what was wrong. Then they got out of their carriages and went into the Great Hall. After everyone entered the Great Hall. Dumbledore stood up to start his speech.

"Well first I would like to say, welcome back for another year at Hogwarts. As you all know the Forbidden Forest is still forbidden. Filch has added twelve more items to his list of items that are not aloud on Hogwarts grounds. I know you have all heard of about an American transfer. Well her name is Katrina Brain. She was sorted into Gryffindor earlier. I expect you all yo treat her kindly. Before we begin the sorting I have one last announcement. For the seventh years there will be a Masquerade Ball in October. There will be more information about it tomorrow at the meeting that we will be having for seventh years. Now let the sorting begin."

After the sorting was over, seventh years started talking about the Masquerade Ball.

"They have never had a Masquerade Ball before." Hermione said.

"What is a Masquerade Ball?" Ron asked.

"It's a ball where everyone is masked." Kat said, "It sounds kind of fun."

"There has got to be a catch. I mean it is a muggle custom to have a Masquerade Ball. There is going to be something different so that it is magic." Harry said.

"But what could they possibly do to a Masquerade Ball to make it unlike the ones muggles have?" Kat asked.

"Well they are going to do something. We'll find out tomorrow at the meeting." Hermione said.
