Chapter 1:The Beginning

Kathie was a regular 18 year old with regular parents and regular friends. There was about only one thing different about her that separates really regular 18 year olds. They are not witches, but Kathie was.

She has been going to a not so regular school with some not so regular people, and let me tell you that this is were my story begins…

Kathie had only two weeks till the summer holidays were over till school would start again and she had a reason to want to go and reason not to go. She wanted to because she enjoyed Hogwarts so much that it was hard not to want to go back. The thing was that this was Kathie's last year going there and she didn't really want her life as a student to end.

She plumped back onto her bed feeling proud of herself that this time she got everything she needed to be packed so there wouldn't be any insanity on the 1st of September.

She used to have another brother, Chris who also went there but he finished school and had gotten married two years ago and even had a baby boy. She missed her brother a lot but she saw him on the summer holiday all the time which she thoroughly enjoyed.

Making sure her suitcase was closed properly she skipped down the stairs into the kitchen to go tell her mother were she was going.

"Mum! I'm going to Addy's house!"

Mrs. Neeter looked back and said "Fine but come home for dinner since we don't get to have dinner with you much during the year okay?" she said smiling. It was hard, she new to keep her daughter from Addy's house since Addy was like a sister to her. They have been best friends since their second year at Hogwarts. She remembered when Kathie and Addy used to be enemies in their first year after Chad made up between them. Chad was Kathie's other best friend since her first year. They even new each other since they were babies.

Kathie apparated right into Addy's room. "Well it's about time you came!" she said jumping. "I was getting bored, I can't wait till school starts!" she exclaimed.

"Well I have no ideas of what to do. I mean the holiday is just to get a rest and especially for us because we are going to need it."

"Why?" Addy asked.

"NEWTS." I said. The most annoying and pressuring thing in the seventh year at school must have been those tests because that's all the teachers have been talking about last year as preparation.

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Addy said. "There is nothing more depressing in the last year when teachers are supposed to give us all a big break."

Well every morning of September 1st is hard and hectic no matter how much you try to do two weeks before. As Kathie was pushing her owl (Flubber was his name) into his cage, and Mr. Neeter pushing the trunk into the back of the car (which he didn't really like since he was so used to apparating) everything went smoothly besides the screaming from the kitchen. Mrs. Neeter was trying to bewitch a loaf of bred into a pile of sandwiches since she new that making a few sandwiches would not be enough since Chad eats so much. All this was happening but after a few minutes of each one fighting with their problems they all hopped into the car and drove off to Kings Cross station.

After a fifteen minute drive they put the trunk and cage on an cart and quickly without any Muggles seeing they went right through the barrier to platform 9 ¾.

On the platform were plenty of wizards and witches saying goodbye to their children and helping them get onto the scarlet train. Kathie swiftly hugged and kissed her parents nicely goodbye knowing she would miss them and carrying her trunk and cage onto a compartment was just happened to be sitting her two best friends Addy and Chad.

"Hey!" Chad said grinning at her. "Ready to go for the last ride going to Hogwarts?"

"You bet!" I said sitting next to Addy when the compartment door opened again and in came Eric, Jessica, Sammy and Michel.

"Hey!" Eric said sitting down. "Can we sit here?"

"Well we don't have much of a choice do we?" Addy said. She could not stand Eric since her was an annoying boy who we all still loved. To tell you the truth all of the kids in out grade (at least in Gryffindor) we very together all the time.

"Don't worry I'll make sure he behaves." Michel his best friend said sitting down next to him. Jessica sat down next to Kathie and the ride began…

After many hours of eating from the food cart, playing exploding snap and joking around it was time for them to change (which took a while since the boys had to get out and after that the girls did too.) they got there.

They heard the familiar sound of "fis't yeas over here!" with Hagrid's booming voice as the claimed onto the carriages.

They stepped out after the short ride and into the great hall with the gleaming golden plates and goblets with the sealing clear with stars and floating candles. It was good to be home.

As they all went into bed after an excellent meal they each went into their separate dormitory and slipped into bed feeling full and sleepy with great feelings in their hearts.
