Katy caught up with Lily outside, by Hagrid. "Oh Hey" Lily said smiling. "Howdy" Katy said waving fakely. Lily laughed, "Well we should find a boat" she said. Katy nodded, as she walked over to one with a boy in it. "Mind if we share the boat with you?" Katy asked. The boy looked up at her then Lily, "not at all.." he said as they climbed in, sitting down on the bench behind him. "Frank Longbottom by the way" he said extending a hand, Katy shook it "Katy Watson.. this is Lily Evans" she said nodding to Lily, who shook Frank's other hand laughing. Frank smiled, "So what house do you guys want to be in?" he asked, Katy smirked "Gryffindor definitely" she said simply. Lily stared between them confused, "Okay I'll explain.. theres four houses.. Slytherin, the evil pureblood people house.. they hate muggleborns.. lets hope your not in there.. hmm Hufflepuff for the nice people, Ravenclaw for the smart, and Gryffindor for the brave at heart.. and intelligent" Katy said nodding. "Gryffindor then.." Lily said smiling and nodded. "Same here" Frank responded not taking his eyes off Lily, Katy rolled her eyes thinking "Do guys develop Hormones this early in life?", Lily looked to her "what do you mean?" she asked as Frank blushed. Katy's eyes widened and she slapped a hand over her mouth realizing she'd asked her question aloud. Lily laughed at her, "If you mean him staring then yes" Lily said smirking to Frank who sighed, "Girls.. are impossible" he said, as another one hopped in the boat with them just as the boats took off. It was a girl in their year with long blonde hair, She let out a sigh of relief. "Just in time huh?" Katy asked, the girl nodded. "Katy Watson.. Lily Evans.. Frank Longbottom" Katy said simply, the girl laughed brushing her hair out of her face "Alice Lansden" she said simply. "Nice to meet you" Lily and Katy said in unison, Frank nodded simply. When the boats landed, Katy was about to get out when a hand reached out grabbing hers and pulling her out. She was about to get very angry when she saw it was James, a worried expression on his face. "Whats wrong?" she asked nervously. "Sirius.. fell into the lake.. and his arm is pretty tore up from the giant squid" James said pointing over to where Hagrid was tending to a wet Sirius who lay on the grass. Katy gaped holding a hand over her mouth as she and James huried over to Sirius still clasping hands. "Sirius are you alright?" Katy asked kneeling beside him finally dropping James hand. Hagrid looked up at her, "He'll be fine, Lass.. his arms just scrapped.." he said smiling widely. Katy nodded, then looked back to Sirius who was wet and shivering a sling of bandages on his arm. Katy took off her robe, slinging it over Sirius' shoulders "Here.." she said simply standing up as James helped Sirius up using Sirius' good hand. "You really gave her a scare you know" James said watching Katy walk off in her muggle clothes to catch up with Lily, and her two friends from the boat. Sirius nodded not talking and pulled the robe tighter around him with his good hand. James noticed Hagrid leading the kids through the crowd, towards the castle. They were about to move when they heard a familiar voice behind them, "So.. what house do you two want to be in?" they both turned to see Katy standing there a big grin on her face. James laughed, "We just saw you.." he said pointing to the doors of the castle. Katy rolled her eyes "You saw me Tell Lily I was hanging with you guys and then slinked back behind Hagrid.. to.. well here?" she said looking around simply. Sirius shrugged "she has a point mate" he said to James then looked to Katy, "and Gryffindor.. just to piss my mum and brother off" he said grinning. "I figured you would say as such.." Katy responded then looked to James, who laughed "Ditto" he said. Katy perked a brow, "Why are you laughing?" she asked nervously. Sirius shook his head, "He was worried on the other shore that you wouldnt be with us during the sorting but your friends" he said and walked off through the crowd, James and Katy following. "with my friends.." Katy began blinking slightly, "You guys ARE my friends" she said pointedly. "You know what I meant" Sirius said rolling his eyes. "Actually.. I dont.. if you mean Lily and them.. yes their my friends but so are you.. and James" Katy said glaring at him then turning and pushing through the crowd to go stand with Lily and them, tears threatening to spill. Sirius looked after her and let out a swear word, James sighed "that went well" he muttered. "Yea I always manage to fuck up around her dont I?" Sirius hissed rubbing his sore arm with his good one. "Thats cus you guys are best friends and too much alike.. your personalities clash" James explained. No sooner had James said that but the shorter girl pushed her way through the crowd back to them hugging Sirius, who winced at his arm but patted her back with his good arm. James smirked knowingly as the crowd began to move through the great hall doors. Sirius took Katy's hand in his good one then noticed she was crying. "Whats wrong?" he whispered as Katy got her hand free wiping her eyes then shook her head. "Nothing.." Katy whispered walking through the doors with James and Sirius following Mcgonagall to the front to stand with the other first years. "Okay when I call your name please step forward and I'll place the sorting hat on your head.." Mcgonagall instructed, "Sirius Black" she called, Sirius rolled his eyes stepping forward and sitting down on the stool which after two minutes it yelled "GRYFFINDOR!" everyone at the Gryffindor table clapping. James took Katy's hand reassuringly, she smiled to him.
By the end, Narcissa Black, Bellatrix Black, Rudolphus Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, Severus Snape, Avery Nott, Christopher Crabbe, and Martin Goyle were sorted in Slytherin. Sirius Black, Lily Evans, Alice Lansden, Frank Longbottom, James Potter, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Kathyrn Watson, Jennifer and Jessica Patil, Thomas Finnigan, Lisa Brown, Zelda Samson and Amanda Vance were sorted into Gryffindor. and a few other random students in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Katy was busy laughing with Lily, Frank, Alice and their new friend Thomas. James looked down the table at her then back to Sirius. "She's avoiding us now" James snapped. "Oh yea.. thanks James seeing as I didnt notice" Sirius said rolling his eyes. James shrugged, "Just letting you know" he said innocently.
