"So Remus.. who do you like? Maybe I could set you up with her?" Katy asked after class, as she and the other Marauders headed to Care of Magical Creatures, with Professor Terapin. Remus pretty much choked, while James and Sirius laughed. James throwing an arm over Katy's shoulder. "ooOo and arent you just so big and bad Mr. I-like-but-cant-impress-with-all-my-money Lily Evans" Katy snapped walking off down the hallway to catch up with Alice who was also in their COMC class. "Well she pretty much whored you Prongsie" Sirius said smirking. "Oh Shut Up" James snapped. James caught up with Katy outside and yanked her shoulder stopping her, Sirius and Remus behind her staring at James in shock. "What the fuck is up your ass this year Watson?" James snapped. "Language James" Katy said innocently, "Dont give me that Language shit ever since we got here you've been acting like a prude!" James snapped. "Well Excuse me if I learned something living in an ORPHANAGE ALL SUMMER" Katy said yelling by the end and turned storming off to find Alice, Remus stopping her while James and Sirius went to find their classmates in an area of the forrest. Katy looked to Remus tears streaming down her cheek, Remus reached a hand up wiping them off "Ignore James.. he's a bit of a prick this year.." Remus said. "I've been a bit of a prude though.. I'm just worried about my O.W.L's and what I'll do in two years and whether anyone else I know will die.. and whether I'll see you guys again" Katy said shaking her head slightly. "Of course you'll see us.." Remus muttered, "Hey look at me.." Remus said tilting her chin up and looking into her teary brown eyes "We'll be best friends forever.. all of us.. if James pulls the broomstick from his ass" Remus commented, Katy laughed "I better go apologize to James, thanks for cheering me up Remy" she said hugging him then huried off to find James. Remus sighed looking after her before slowly following "No Problem.. did I mention I did it because I loved you?" he whispered to himself then shook his head and continued on to class.
Katy caught up with James, and looked up at him. James looked down at her, seeing tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry" Katy whispered, James let out an exhale through his nose and smiled pulling Katy to him in a hug. "Dont apologize you goof.. I'm the one who snapped on you and I'm sorry okay?" James said smiling. Katy nodded "Apology accepted only if you accept mine" she said stubbornly, James laughed "Alright.. apology accepted" he said. "Ditto" Katy said hugging him again before they both turned leaning on the fence around an empty pen. "These.. are thestrals" Professor Terapin said. "Can anyone see them?" he asked, slowly Remus raised his hand along with Snape. The only two in the class. "You can only see them if you've seen death before.. these creatures are very morbid and depressing their invisibile to anyone who hasnt seen death before.. some people call them death's advocates" Professor Terapin explained. Katy looked back at Remus who was randomly skimming his toe of his shoe through the dirt staring at it as if it held the answer to life. Katy sighed leaning back on the fence. Remus looked up at her to see her turned around again, he could feel her stare but hadnt returned it, he was ashamed that he and Snape were the only ones who had seen death, but only because he had seen Death but he was the only one who pretty much still had a family they could trust, that was alive.
Katy wove her way through the crowd towards Remus when class ended. Sirius and James trailing behind her. "So we're all cool again?" Remus asked, Katy nodded "Of course" she said smiling then leaned in by his ear "Only thanks to you" she whispered. Remus smiled hugging her gently before they both turned heading up to school, James and Sirius following them smiling knowingly. "So what class do you guys have next?" Katy asked as they entered the class, "Divination" they all responded in unison. Katy shrugged "I dropped it last year.. I have Ancient Runes" she said. "Aww.. dont worry Kates.. we'll make sure to give Trelawney hell for you" Sirius said smirking, "Thanks.. tell her the weather for today is fog.. that is.. if you have crystal balls" she called as she walked off to find Alice and Lily who also had Ancient Runes. Sirius laughed shaking his head as he followed Remus and James up to Divination.
