Sometimes its good to be right about something, like being right about a question on a test, but in this instance Harry didn't like being right at all. He knew when he got out of the compartment that Malfoy had something to do with this. I mean, name another person who had so much joy in torturing people younger and smaller then themselves. The three if them walked where Alex was directing them to and found Zach hanging by his ankles in mid air with a look of terror on his face. By his side was Malfoy, with his wand out, Crabbe, and Goyle with looks of great accomplishment on their faces.
"Umm…can you please put him down", said Katelyn to the blonde haired boy. With the Ashley and Alex at her side. Harry stayed behind them. He had a feeling that if Malfoy saw him he would just make matters worse.
"What's it to you", said Malfoy looking at her with disgust.
"Well he's my cousin and he's looking a bit peaky with you hanging him upside down like that.", said Katelyn with a chuckle trying to make the best of the situation. Malfoy obviously didn't get it.
"I'm not done yet.", said Malfoy with a smirk on his face and a whimper from Zach above.
"Put him down, Malfoy" said Harry stepping away from the girls. He had a feeling that this was going to go bad with or without him.
"Oh look who it is boys, it our wonderful hero." said Malfoy sarcastically which made Crabbe and Goyle laugh like idiots.
"Look Malfoy, I don't want any trouble just put him down." said Harry. Even though Harry would love for nothing to knock the crap out of Malfoy again, he had Hermione's voice in his head saying, "Don't Harry! He's still a prefect." Aren't you suppose to be at a meeting or something anyway? Thought you'd have some fun on the way, did ya." asked Harry.
"Let me fill you in on something Potter, being that I'm a prefect and your still not, that means that I have the authority to discipline people who I believe are violating the rules." said Malfoy.
"Yeah and what did he do?" asked Harry getting more and more annoyed with Malfoy by the second.
"He bumped into me without saying excuse me." said Malfoy with a smirk of satisfaction.
"Are you kidding me?" asked Katelyn.
"What kind of crap is that?" asked Ashley.
"You know you can't suspend students in the air just because you thought they were rude to you, if that was the case you'd be in Jupiter right now." said Harry.
"Please can you guys just get me down!" shouted Zach. "I feel a bit sick up here."
"Just let him go Malfoy, this is pointless." said Harry with an exasperated tone.
"I'm sure he's sorry, right Zach?" said Katelyn
"Yeah I'm so bloody sorry just put me down will you." shouted Zach.
"No." said Malfoy with a smirk.
"You know you're and ass. Look whatever he did he's sorry about it okay so why don't you just give it up already." said Katelyn.
"What did you call me?" said Malfoy looking directly at Katelyn with a look of anger. He was so angry with what Katelyn said that he stopped paying attention to Zach up in the air that he fell on his head to the ground.
"I called you an ass. Is this how you get your kicks picking on weaker kids?" said Katelyn who was not backing down from Malfoy's intimidating glare.
"Hey, I'm not…"
"Shut it Zach."
"You know missy you should watch yourself around here. You don't want make enemy's with the wrong people. Said Malfoy.
"I'll remember that." said Katelyn sarcastically. She grabbed Zach by his shoulders and steered him to the other direction towards the compartment that the saved, with Ashley and Alex followed behind her. Harry was the only one who stood ground with Malfoy. He was just so sick of Malfoy walking around like he owned the place. You'd would think he might have lost some of this attitude with his father in Azkaban., Harry thought, but it just only made it worse. Finally after what seemed like hours Harry turned around to leave but while he had his back turned Malfoy decided he wasn't finished.
"Nice girlfriend Potter, I'd hate to see anything happen to her." threatened Malfoy. Instead of turning around and fighting the little prat, Harry just kept walking as though it didn't bother him at all. But it did.
Harry knew that the people he cared about would suffer the affects of his past, which made him ache inside. Even though he had only known Katelyn for a few months he didn't want anything to happen to her or her family. They are good people like the Weasley's and Hermione. They shouldn't have to suffer, thought Harry. As Harry got the compartment Katelyn stood by the door waiting for him.
"Are you okay?" asked Katelyn.
"I'm fine, how about Zach." asked Harry.
"He's alright, well physically I mean." said Katelyn
"Let me go see if Hermione is done with her meeting, you need to get that knee checked." said Harry looking down at her injured knee that was covered in dried blood. As he was looking for what compartment the prefects meeting was, a compartment door opened near the front of the train with students coming out of it with prefect badges on their muggle clothing. Harry waited until he recognized bushy brown and red haired figures come towards him.
"Hey mate." said Ron walking up to where Harry was with Hermione and Crookshanks in her hands.
"Hey. Hermione do you know some healing charms, Katelyn skinned her knee pretty bad?" asked Harry.
"Yeah I know a few. Where is she?" asked Hermione.
Harry showed Ron and Hermione where the compartment was, as they walked in they saw people gathered around Katelyn looking at her wound like it was an exhibit at a zoo.
"Will you guys back off for like a second?" said Katelyn. "Its not like their going to chop it off or anything."
"You never know, I mean this place is different then Florida." said Zach with a mouthful of sweets in his mouth; the witch with the cart must have already gone by.
"Geez thanks Zach, without you I would never know where we are." said Katelyn sarcastically.
"No prob." said Zach with a smile.
Clearing his throat, Harry got the rest of the compartments attention.
"Hey sorry for interrupting your conversation and all but Hermione's here and she can help your knee." said Harry pointing to Hermione who waved at the strangers. Harry and Ron sat down and Harry took the next five minutes introducing the Fischer's to Ron while Hermione, who was inspecting Katelyn's knee.
"My sister Brittany also with us but she seemed to meet some new people on the train. I better go check on her, I'll be back." said Ashley who headed for the door. Zach and Alex were huddled together talking about something while Ron and Harry were watching Hermione crouched on the floor talking to Katelyn about her wound.
"Does that hurt?"
"No"
"What about that?"
"No"
"What about th…" Harry couldn't understand the rest of what Hermione was saying because Katelyn had let out a very loud yell that startled everybody around her, including crookshanks who hissed at her. Even some people from other compartment were sticking their heads out their doors to see what the commotion was about.
"HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! WHAT WAS THAT?" yelled Katelyn.
"I'm sorry but I put a spell on it so it wont get infected." said Hermione who looked at Katelyn as though she was afraid for her life.
"You could of warned me." said Katelyn still reeling from the pain. "Sorry I didn't mean to yell its just I have a weak tolerance for pain."
"It's okay, well its healed anyway so you should be fine." said Hermione who got up and sat down next to Ron.
"Thank ya." said Katelyn with a smile.
"Hey where's Ginny?" asked Ron
"She's with friends." answered Harry.
"Friends huh? I bet she's with Dean." said Ron with an annoyed tone. Harry suppressed a laugh as hard as he could. He still didn't get why Ron was still so protective of Ginny. It must be a sibling thing. "I still need to have a word with him."
"Don't Ron. If you embarrass Gin she'll never forgive you." said Hermione
"I'm not going to embarrass her." said Ron, but anybody who knew Ron knew that probably wasn't true.
"So Harry told me that you all are from Florida." said Hermione to Katelyn trying to change the subject.
"Yeah. The sunshine state." said Katelyn.
"I bet its wonderful. My family and I were suppose to go there for summer on year but we ended up not, I wish we did." said Hermione.
"Well its alright. I mean you can only go to the beaches and Disney world so many times." said Katelyn.
"What's Disney World?" asked Ron
"I'll explain later." said Harry.
"Why did you all leave?"
"Well I guess for the whole Order thing." said Katelyn. "At the time I thought just because my grandparents were tired of the hot weather, but when my mom and uncle came to pick us all up at my house that one night, I kinda put two and two together and found out that it just wasn't about the weather."
"Should we be talking about this right now?" said Hermione in a very quite voice so Zach and Alex couldn't hear.
"Oh its okay, they know. My mom told us about the whole thing you guys got called the Order or something. She told me about the family being involved for a long time with this society thing. I guess she's been doing stuff for them for some time now, I guess that's why she's been gone for so long." said Katelyn.
"Did she tell you what she was doing?" asked Harry. He still wasn't getting much information from the Order so any news would be something.
"No, she never tells me what she does when she leaves like this. All I know was that she was in America mostly." said Katelyn
"I wonder what she was doing there?" asked Harry.
"God only knows. She's always traveling to one place to another and its always top secret stuff." said Katelyn.
"Is your mom an Auror or something?" asked Ron
"No…well I don't think so…..actually I have no clue. She never talks about work when she's around me." said Katelyn.
At that time Hermione checked her watch and told everybody that they were almost there and that they all should get there robes on. Ashley came back with Brittany to pick up there robes to change into and the girls shooed the boys out of the compartment so they could change in private. Ten minutes later Harry, Ron, and Zach came back in changed in their uniforms to see that the girls were done as well. Everyone looked excited to be getting of the train, everyone except Katelyn.
"I look like an idiot don't I?" said Katelyn.
"We all have the same thing on, why are you worrying?" said Zach.
"I don't know it just isn't me." said Katelyn looking at herself with disgust.
"Hey why do guys have the lion thing and we don't." asked Brittany.
"Well were in Gryffindor so we get the lion, its our symbol?" said Hermione
"What's Gryffindor?" asked Alex
"You remember Grandpa telling us about it. He said there are four house at this school and we get sorted into whatever house we belong in." said Zach
"How do we know which house we get into?" asked Brittany. After she asked the question the train started to slow down and eventually stopped. Everyone started to get their things together and leave the train.
"I'll explain it to you when we get inside the Great Hall?" said Hermione.
"The what?" asked Ashley.
As they started to get off the train Harry, Ron, and Hermione saw a lot of their classmates from Gryffindor. They saw Neville, Seamus, Dean and Ginny coming out of their compartment. Harry and Hermione gave them a wave, but Ron looked to the ground when he saw Ginny and Dean holding hands together. He obviously didn't like what he saw.
"Hello Harry." said a very dreamy voice behind him. Harry turned and saw Luna Lovegood behind him still looking and acting the way he saw her at the end of last term.
"Hey Luna." said Harry
"Hope I'll see ya later." said Luna then walked away.
"Umm…yeah." said Harry after she left.
"Is that your girlfriend?" asked Katelyn with a smile.
"Huh….no, god no…I'll explain later." said Harry who motioned for Katelyn to head to the door of the train. Once he got outside the cold air touched his face and from a distance he could see the lights of Hogwarts. As he walked with Headwig's cage under my arm he heard a booming voice call out.
"First years over here, First years come on over here." said the voice. Harry recognized it immediately as Hargrids and was relieved that he was here unlike last year.
"Hey should we go with him?" asked Katelyn pointing to Hagrid.
"Yeah I think you guys go with Hagrid." said Hermione.
The Fischer's head toward the half-giant and was obviously asking whether or not they should go with him. Hagrid pointed them to the rest of the first years heading in the direction to the lake and they disappeared.
"I guess they do go with them." said Harry.
"Come on mate we need to get one of these before their all full." said Ron pointing to the carriages Harry, Ron, and Hermione headed to the nearest carriage and got in. Harry sat next to the window and could see the thestrals from the other carriages outside. As the carriage moved closer to the castle Harry had only one thought. Maybe this year will be different.

Author's note:
okay i got a review saying the Fischer family is confusing so i decided to give u a little chart: enjoy
1. Katelyn- she is the oldest and the only child of Julie (who you will see more of) and will be pretty close to the trio in this story and the next one i do. shes going into her sixth year, yeah i know shes 17 but she went to school in america so its different. shes basically a skater chick. think avril except less annoying. lol.
2. Ashley- shes the oldest of Jimmy children (who we wont see that much, think Charlie) she's the prettiest in the bunch and we will see the effects of her beauty effect a certian Gryffindor or Slytherian. hahaha i know the anticipation. shes closest to Katelyn and her sister Brittany. and will be going into 4th year. shes 15
3.Brittany- shes the youngest of Jimmy's kids. shes the most hyper and at times the most annoying, especially if you give her sugar. lol. shes sisters with Ashley and throught out the story their will be hints about her and ashley's mother. she will be goin into her third year. shes 13
4. zach-aaaww i love zach, mostly because hes the only boy in this family of cousins. Hes the oldest of Dana and Mary's children(but you wont see much of them in this story as of now)i like to refer to him as a mix of Ron and a sprinkile of the twins all rolled into one. he hangs out mostly with Brittany, Alex(sister), and Katelyn. he gets in trouble alot as you can tell in this cahpter but he really has a good heart. he is going into third year. hes 13.
5.Alex-the middle child in Dana and Mary's family. she is a combination of Hermione(she loves book and school) and of Katelyn(just wanting to have a good time). she mostly hangs out with Brittany and at times isnt a good thing . she is going into her second year. shes 12.
6.Michelle- she is the youngest of the Fischer family and are Alex and Zach's younger sister. you wont see much of her in this story because shes only eight and doesnt go to hogwarts, but you will see some of her on holidays and in the next story.
okay i hope that gave you a better understanding of the characters. if it just confused you even more, sorry i tried. lol.
