~CHAPTER 2~
Harry lay awake thinking about the girl on the bed next to him. It was still quite early and even Hedwig had gone for a flight leaving him alone with his thoughts.
"I wonder if she is his niece or something. At least she has not said anything about this stupid scar" thought Harry as he rubbed his scar vigorously. Looking over at the bed beside him he thought he saw Kathryn's eyes open. Taking his glasses off he rubbed his eyes.
"Must be seeing things" Harry muttered to him self.
"You know it's not a good sign when people talk to themselves" said Kathryn is a small voice.
Harry almost jumped out of his bed. "Bloody Hell! Don't scare me like that. God I think that had to be the second scariest thing in my like. You could have said you were awake," gasped Harry.
Laughing, Kathryn got out of her bed and walked towards the windowsill. "What fun would that have been. Anyway what's the scariest thing you have seen," Asked Kathryn curiously.
Shuddering Harry muttered something incoherent. "What was that?" Kathryn asked again.
"Seeing Professor Snape when he was a teenager" Harry said trying not to think about it.
Kathryn nodded and turned around, and looked at Harry.
"So when are we leaving for Diagon Alley? I wanted to meet someone at the Leaky Cauldron. You don't have to go with me if you don't want to," said Kathryn walking around Harry, like she was inspecting him.
"What are you doing?" asked Harry starting to become very nervous as he felt like he was someone's dinner.
"Nothing, well it's just I was looking at you for a reason. All the people that I have met always talk about you being a great hero," said Kathryn, coming around to face him "personally I think you are the opposite. You never want to be the big hero and some how you do."
Harry, shocked that this girl had just explained his feelings that his best friends could never figure out, sat down on his bed. Taking the seat next to him Kathryn took his palm.
"What are you doing?" asked Harry. Still staring at the hand she replied "Palm reading"
Groaning, Harry took his hand away. Looking up angrily, Kathryn got up. " What? I was just seeing how you were dealing with your latest adventure. I don't know everything but I want to" she finished.
"Maybe I don't want you to know, or anyone else for that matter what happened to me a couple of weeks ago. That is none of your business," yelled Harry looking down at Kathryn who was now standing with her mouth open for being yelled at. Crystal tears started to border her silver-blue eyes. She stood up and looked at Harry with a glare that could only be compared with the basilisk he had fought in his second year.
"How dare you speak to me like that! All I was trying to do is understand how you felt when your godfather died and all you do is go and yell at me. You think no one understands how you feel? Well your wrong. I lost somebody when I was younger and I saw it happen, so there. Do you want to know what happened?" she asked, staring out the window.
Harry, surprised that someone had yelled back at him, nodded and sat down on his bed. Kathryn started her story,
"When I was twelve, my family went on a trip for the ministry of magic because my mother was an Auror. We were gone two weeks, when we came back we found our house in ruins. Everything had been destroyed. We found out that terrible rumours had been spread about my mother being a death eater. My mother had to go to trial and guess what? Almost every member of the jury was a real death eater except two. The two people in the jury were friends of my mother and father but that didn't help at all. My mother was found guilty and guess what her sentence was? She had to walk through that veil."
"I watched as my mother walked up to the veil. She turned and looked at me and said ' It's not your fault'. She ran into the veil and never came back. When I went to what was left of my home, no one was there to say 'it will be alright' or 'it's okay'. My father had disappeared and now I was on my own. I had no family, so I was sent to the nearest magical boarding school, which is not Hogwarts, but a small school called Maple Ridge Academy. I made no friends there because of who I was. That went on for three years. Last year I received a letter from an unknown person saying that Lord Voldemort had risen and I was to help defeat him. Think, a fifteen year old helping to defeat the world's second most powerful wizard. I just threw the letter out and went on with my life. Then last summer, I found out that I had a Godmother and I went to stay with her. That only lasted a couple of weeks, but it was a blast. My Godmother enrolled me into Hogwarts and I could only attend this year because it took a year to be accepted. That's why I am here standing in front of you" she finished.
Harry did not know what to say. Some one other than him had a loss that was not so great. Harry got up and walked over to Kathryn. He sat down beside her and gave her a hug. She looked up and nodded.
"So when are we going to Diagon Alley? And I am sorry that I tried to see what happened to you the past year. I should have asked," Kathryn told Harry looking at her feet that had become interesting.
"We can leave in about an hour. That's okay; a lot of people have asked what happened at the ministry. I will probably tell everyone later when I figure out what happened at the ministry," He laughed.
"An Hour! Get out and let me get ready. It's only going to take you five minutes. Me it's going to take like 30 minutes. Get out already" she said in a panicked voice. And with that slammed the door in Harry's face.
"Okay that was weird" Harry muttered under his breath.
"I heard that Harry Potter" came a shout through the door.
Harry only laughed and took the clothes he had in his arm and went to change in the bathroom.
True to her words, Kathryn came out of Harry's bedroom 30 minutes later. Harry was waiting across the hallway, leaning against the wall.
"Ready to go?" she asked. Harry nodded. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a black turtle neck sweater. Kathryn was wearing a pair of black jeans with silver stars and a red turtle neck sweater.
They left the privet drive at 11:30. They walked in complete silence until they reached the leaky cauldron at 12:20.
"So who are you going to meet here?" asked Harry as he noticed Kathryn starting to head to the back of the shop.
"Someone I know. You don't have to stay with me unless you want to. Oh, there they are. Come on Harry, you have to meet him. I hope you like him" she said as she grabbed his arm and started tugging at his arm.
Harry was pulled along until they came to the table at the very back of the shop, where a person dressed in a dark cloak with the hood pulled over was sitting with a butter beer in front of themselves. The person stood up and hugged Kathryn. Sitting down, the person conjured up another chair for Harry to sit in.
"Hello Kathryn. How have you been? I see you brought Harry with you. Hello Harry, pleasure to see you again," said the person in the hood.
"Pleasure to meet you, even though I don't know you," said Harry. The person only laughed and looked at Kathryn.
"You haven't told him yet," laughed the hooded person. Kathryn shook her head as a deep blush crossed her cheeks.
"Harry, I would like you to meet my dad, Remus Lupin" said Kathryn pointing to Lupin, who was now taking his hood off.
"I see my daughter needs to remember her manners. So nice to see you again Harry. I hope my daughter has not been to big of a pain to you" Remus laughed. Harry just nodded in shock. He had thought that Lupin was just a name; he didn't think that his favourite teacher had a daughter.
"So what are you two going to be doing today?" questioned Lupin.
"Nothing really, right Harry? Were probably just going to go get our school supplies and visit the new joke shop" Kathryn answered her father. Harry nodded and got up to leave.
They started to walk out together when Lupin spoke "Be careful you two and stay out of trouble"
Harry only laughed. "So where do you want to go to first" he asked.
"How about the we get our books first. I really want to get the new 'Defending Against the Dark Arts' book that just came in. How about you?" answered Kathryn, as the entered Flourish and Blotts.
"I don't really want to get of any of my books, because that means that as I read, I have homework to do" laughed Harry. Giggling, Kathryn and Harry went up to the front desk and waited to be helped. A certain bushy haired girl came walking out from the back of the store carrying a stack of books. A voice came from behind the books, "How may I help you?"
"Hermione, what are you doing here?" asked Harry grabbing half of the books from Hermione so she could see over them.
"Oh, hello Harry. I was bored so my parents told me to go get a job and I did. I really like working here. It's fun because I get to read all these books," said Hermione as she started to shelf the new books.
Sitting down on the counter, Kathryn spoke up "Could you give us a hand looking for the books we need, please?"
Harry, forgetting she was even here, jumped a little. He was a little weary around Kathryn because of who she was; knowing whom her father was now. As if reading his mind she looked at Harry as if wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Hermione.
"Oh are you going to Hogwarts? Aren't you a little old for being a first year? How do you know Harry? Harry who is this? If you're going to Hogwarts you really need to change your appearance a little. You do kind of stand out in those muggle clothing," said Hermione as she spoke to Kathryn.
Taking in Hermione's appearance Harry realized that she had changed something about herself.
"Hermione did you do something different with your hair" asked Harry out of the blue.
"Yeah I had it cut. Next week I have to go back and change the length again. At least you noticed my hair. That bloody git of a boyfriend of mine didn't and now he doesn't know why I am mad at him," Hermione answered.
"Excuse me, can we please get our books" asked an angry Kathryn.
"I will help you after you answer my questions I asked you five minuets ago" Hermione said with a bit of harshness in her voice.
"Fine. Yes I am going to Hogwarts. Why the HELL do you think I am a first year? That was so rude. I know Harry because I am staying with him you DOLT! Harry knows who I am and that's all that matter. I know I have to go get my robes later. HOW DARE YOU SAY I STAND OUT IN MY CLOTHES? AT LEAST I DON'T LOOK LIKE A KNOW IT ALL. MAYBE I WANT TO STAND OUT" shouted Kathryn.
Harry, not wanting to see a fight happen stepped in between the two girls.
"Harry, WHO is she?" again asked Hermione mad for being called a know it all.
Glaring at Hermione, Kathryn walked towards the staircase and walked up it to the second level. Walking towards the nearest shelf of books she picked it up and read 'Defence Against the Dark Arts: Year 6'. Picking up two of them, one for her and the other for Harry, she walked to the back of the store and opened the book and started to read it.
"Harry who is SHE?" asked Hermione angrily.
"Why Hermione, if I didn't know that you were going out with Ron, I'd say that you were jealous of my new friend" teased Harry.
Blushing Hermione retorted "Very funny Potter. Just tell me who she is. Harry you know you have to be careful with who you associate with"
Scowling, Harry sat on the staircase and glared at Hermione, " Herm, she's not a bad person. I have met her dad and trust me, she is probably the most serene and loyal person we will me this year."
Coming to understand, Hermione nodded, "So who is she?"
Grinning Harry spoke "I am not going to tell you until you help me get the books for her and I. How about that?"
Giving in to Harry, Hermione nodded, "What books do you need?"
A voice from upstairs came, "Everything except D.A.D.A." (A.N. Defence against dark arts)
Laughing Harry yelled up the stairs "Having fun up there?"
"Yup, I am reading the new D.A.D.A book, it's really cool. Tell your friend she needs to not know everything now but later"
Looking at Hermione, who stood there with her mouth agape, laughed. "Are you coming down here anytime soon" Harry continued.
"No need to yell, I am right here. Hermione, can you do a big favour get our books for us? We still have to go to all the other shops. If you do, I will tell you my name" said Kathryn coming down the stairs and heading towards the door.
Hermione nodded, " okay, be back here in two hours"
Jogging after the blonde girl, Harry shouted over his shoulder "Thanks 'mione."
Harry caught up to Kathryn in Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Walking into the store, the door chimed with a small bell.
"Kathryn are you in here?" asked Harry.
"Year Harry. I'm looking for a couple dress robes and the black robes we need for class. Can you help me look for a dress robe?" asked Kathryn looking through a rack of dress robes.
"Harry Potter! I haven't seen you since last year! Where have you been? You haven't written or anything" came a voice from behind him.
Before Harry could turn around, a very hyper Tonks swept him into a hug. "Hello Tonks, nice to see you again" he gasped out.
Before Harry could turn a deeper purple than he already was, Tonks released him, "Sorry Harry"
"It's alright Tonks. How have you been?" asked Harry.
"Pretty good. You?"
"Good. I meet Remus today in the leaky cauldron"
"Oh yeah, he said he was going to go meet somebody there, I just can't remember who it was"
If either of them had been paying attention to the door, they would have noticed a pale blonde boy come into the shop.
Heading to the back of the shop, Draco Malfoy spotted Kathryn looking through the wrack of robes.
Draco, thinking to himself, 'I wonder who that is. She's looking for a Hogwarts robe. Maybe I can help her'
(A.N. Yes Draco will be a little out of character)
Kathryn, too busy looking for a dress robe. didn't hear the footsteps coming behind her. She jumped when she heard a low voice,
"Hello, do you need any help searching for a dress robe"
Turning around to see where that voice came from she came face to face, or to her face to chest with a pale blonde boy.
"Hello. Actually I do need help finding a dress robe" she smiled.
"Cool. By the way, my name is Draco Malfoy. And you are?" he asked looking down at her.
Blushing, she responded "I'm Kathryn. What do you think of this one" pulling out a green dress robe.
"No. I like that silver one right there. You should try it on. I think that would look really good on you" Draco suggested
"Ummm. Okay" pulling out the robe, she immediately fell in love with it. It was a light silver with baby blue sparkles that shimmered lightly every 20 seconds.
"You have a great taste in dress robes Draco. I think this is the one I am going to get this one. So what school do you go to?" She asked.
"I go to Hogwarts. I am the prefect in Slytherin. Are you going to Hogwarts? If you are what year are you going to be in? I hope you aren't in first year that would be disappointing. What house are you going to be? Hopefully you will be in my house. Than I can show you around." Draco asked smiling at her.
"Really. I am going to Hogwarts this year. We can so hang out. I am going to be in sixth year. I don't know what house I am going to be in but if I am in your house at least I will know three people than" she said smiling back at him. By the time she was done picking out her robes with the help of Draco it was almost time to go pick up the books from Hermione.
"Draco I have to get going. My friend and me have to finish picking up our school supplies. I will see you at Hogwarts okay? Bye" with that she paid for her purchases and walked up to a couple that were talking.
"So, how has the Phoenix been?" asked Harry not wanting to give what it was away.
"Oh good, it's really lonely at the house now. OH Harry I'm sorry. Really I am. That was stupid of me" Tonks kept on apologizing to Harry for bringing up the subject on his godfather.
"NO, it's quite alright. I am starting to get over it. Anyway there's my friend. We have to go see Hermione. Kathryn, over here," Harry shouted.
A tall girl with shoulder length blonde hair walked over to Tonks.
"Hey Harry, who is this. Your girlfriend" teased Kathryn, who was smirking.
"No. This is Tonks. She's a friend of your dads," retorted Harry, looking at the bag in Kathryn's hand.
"Oh, hey. If you know my dad then it's all right. Harry we have to go and meet Hermione. Bye Tonks" called Kathryn as she grabbed Harry's hand and walked out the door.
Tonks, thinking to herself 'Who's her dad'
"So what color is your dress robe?" asked Harry taking the bag from Kathryn and carrying it for her.
"For your info, it's silver. Are you going to carry it?" asked Kathryn as they walked passed the owl shop.
Nodding, Harry turned into Flourish and Blotts. Kathryn came in after him and walked up to the front desk where Hermione was sitting.
"Hey Hermione. Did you get all those books for us ready" asked an eagerly Kathryn.
"Yes, and now you have to tell me who you are" said Hermione who was sitting in suspense to learn who this mystery girl was.
Handing the half the books to Harry and the other half to Kathryn, Hermione waited for her answer.
"Well my name is Kathryn and I am going to Hogwarts this year. Bye Hermione" was all that Kathryn said and walked out the door of Flourish and Blotts.
"Is that all the information I get? What a rip off. Harry who is she?" yelled Hermione as Harry bolted for the door. Laughing Harry shook his head.
By the time they had got their book, robes and potions stuff they only had 20 minutes before the stores closed. Running to the Weasley twins joke shop, Harry walked up to the counter pulling Kathryn behind him.
"Fred, George where are you? I have someone for you guys to meet," yelled Harry to the back of the shop.
Coming out from the back of the shop, the twins wearing aprons with green ooze on it.
"Harry, long time, no see" said George, hanging his apron up on a hook.
"Who did you say we had to meet?" asked Fred looking for the mystery person.
Harry looking behind him was startled to see that Kathryn had disappeared. "She was here a minute ago. Could you guys help me look for her?" asked Harry starting to look around the shop.
"Harry, there is no need to look for me. I was just looking around. Hello," said Kathryn popping up from behind Harry and waving to the twins.
Jumping a little bit, Harry shook his head and pulled her out from behind him.
"Fred, George, this is Kathryn. She's staying with me until school starts," Harry told the twins.
"Hello, as you can see we are the owners and makers of all the pranks in this shop. Harry, you should of told us earlier you were bringing someone. We would have made tea," laughed George, who was trying to impersonate an old lady.
Laughing along with the twins, Harry only shook his head. When the twins stopped laughing, their expression changed from laughter to seriousness.
"Hey Harry, did you ever get your broom back?" George asked Harry. Fred had gone to show Kathryn around the joke shop.
"Yeah, I got it back about three days. It needs to be polished, but other than that it is perfectly fine. Did Ron tell you that we won the Quidditch cup last year" Harry told him. (A.N. Let's say he got his broom back and can play Quidditch again)
Laughter could be heard from Fred and Kathryn as sparks appeared above one of the shelves. " Yeah, Ron told us all about it. How many new team members do you need this year" asked George as he dusted the pranks in the glass cabinet off.
"I think about 4 new players" Harry replied. A shriek came from the back and was followed be a "Fred Weasley! You get back here. You change my hair back"
A running Fred came zooming past Harry and George, as a pissed off Kathryn came running behind him.
Harry started laughing hysterically at Kathryn. Fred had changed her sandy blonde hair to pink and purple hair with blue highlights. George brought his wand out and undid the spell.
"Reverseo"
"Thanks George. Anyway, Harry it's getting late and we need to be going home soon" she said.
Harry, nodding in agreement Harry said his goodbyes. "Bye George, Fred. Tell Ron and Ginny and your mum I said hi"
Walking out of the shop into the almost now dissertated Diagon Alley, Harry and Kathryn walked home with all their purchases.
Coming home an hour later, they walked into the door to see a very flustered Aunt Petunia. "Where have you two been? It's almost dinner. Go put your things away and wash up."
Walking up the stairs, and into the bedroom they put their things away. After they ate dinner they went to bed.
"Good night Harry" Kathryn said as she went to sleep. Harry was already asleep.

Picking up two of them, one for her and the other for Harry, she walked to the back of the store and opened the book and started to read it.
"Harry who is SHE?" asked Hermione angrily.
"Why Hermione, if I didn't know that you were going out with Ron, I'd say that you were jealous of my new friend" teased Harry.
Blushing Hermione retorted "Very funny Potter. Just tell me who she is. Harry you know you have to be careful with who you associate with"
Scowling, Harry sat on the staircase and glared at Hermione, " Herm, she's not a bad person. I have met her dad and trust me, she is probably the most serene and loyal person we will me this year."
Coming to understand, Hermione nodded, "So who is she?"
Grinning Harry spoke "I am not going to tell you until you help me get the books for her and I. How about that?"
Giving in to Harry, Hermione nodded, "What books do you need?"
A voice from upstairs came, "Everything except D.A.D.A." (A.N. Defence against dark arts)
Laughing Harry yelled up the stairs "Having fun up there?"
"Yup, I am reading the new D.A.D.A book, it's really cool. Tell your friend she needs to not know everything now but later"
Looking at Hermione, who stood there with her mouth agape, laughed. "Are you coming down here anytime soon" Harry continued.
"No need to yell, I am right here. Hermione, can you do a big favour get our books for us? We still have to go to all the other shops. If you do, I will tell you my name" said Kathryn coming down the stairs and heading towards the door.
Hermione nodded, " okay, be back here in two hours"
Jogging after the blonde girl, Harry shouted over his shoulder "Thanks 'mione."
Harry caught up to Kathryn in Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Walking into the store, the door chimed with a small bell.
"Kathryn are you in here?" asked Harry.
"Year Harry. I'm looking for a couple dress robes and the black robes we need for class. Can you help me look for a dress robe?" asked Kathryn looking through a rack of dress robes.
"Harry Potter! I haven't seen you since last year! Where have you been? You haven't written or anything" came a voice from behind him.
Before Harry could turn around, a very hyper Tonks swept him into a hug. "Hello Tonks, nice to see you again" he gasped out.
Before Harry could turn a deeper purple than he already was, Tonks released him, "Sorry Harry"
"It's alright Tonks. How have you been?" asked Harry.
"Pretty good. You?"
"Good. I meet Remus today in the leaky cauldron"
"Oh yeah, he said he was going to go meet somebody there, I just can't remember who it was"
If either of them had been paying attention to the door, they would have noticed a pale blonde boy come into the shop.
Heading to the back of the shop, Draco Malfoy spotted Kathryn looking through the wrack of robes.
Draco, thinking to himself, 'I wonder who that is. She's looking for a Hogwarts robe. Maybe I can help her'
(A.N. Yes Draco will be a little out of character)
Kathryn, too busy looking for a dress robe. didn't hear the footsteps coming behind her. She jumped when she heard a low voice,
"Hello, do you need any help searching for a dress robe"
Turning around to see where that voice came from she came face to face, or to her face to chest with a pale blonde boy.
"Hello. Actually I do need help finding a dress robe" she smiled.
"Cool. By the way, my name is Draco Malfoy. And you are?" he asked looking down at her.
Blushing, she responded "I'm Kathryn. What do you think of this one" pulling out a green dress robe.
"No. I like that silver one right there. You should try it on. I think that would look really good on you" Draco suggested
"Ummm. Okay" pulling out the robe, she immediately fell in love with it. It was a light silver with baby blue sparkles that shimmered lightly every 20 seconds.
"You have a great taste in dress robes Draco. I think this is the one I am going to get this one. So what school do you go to?" She asked.
"I go to Hogwarts. I am the prefect in Slytherin. Are you going to Hogwarts? If you are what year are you going to be in? I hope you aren't in first year that would be disappointing. What house are you going to be? Hopefully you will be in my house. Than I can show you around." Draco asked smiling at her.
"Really. I am going to Hogwarts this year. We can so hang out. I am going to be in sixth year. I don't know what house I am going to be in but if I am in your house at least I will know three people than" she said smiling back at him. By the time she was done picking out her robes with the help of Draco it was almost time to go pick up the books from Hermione.
"Draco I have to get going. My friend and me have to finish picking up our school supplies. I will see you at Hogwarts okay? Bye" with that she paid for her purchases and walked up to a couple that were talking.
"So, how has the Phoenix been?" asked Harry not wanting to give what it was away.
"Oh good, it's really lonely at the house now. OH Harry I'm sorry. Really I am. That was stupid of me" Tonks kept on apologizing to Harry for bringing up the subject on his godfather.
"NO, it's quite alright. I am starting to get over it. Anyway there's my friend. We have to go see Hermione. Kathryn, over here," Harry shouted.
A tall girl with shoulder length blonde hair walked over to Tonks.
"Hey Harry, who is this. Your girlfriend" teased Kathryn, who was smirking.
"No. This is Tonks. She's a friend of your dads," retorted Harry, looking at the bag in Kathryn's hand.
"Oh, hey. If you know my dad then it's all right. Harry we have to go and meet Hermione. Bye Tonks" called Kathryn as she grabbed Harry's hand and walked out the door.
Tonks, thinking to herself 'Who's her dad'
"So what color is your dress robe?" asked Harry taking the bag from Kathryn and carrying it for her.
"For your info, it's silver. Are you going to carry it?" asked Kathryn as they walked passed the owl shop.
Nodding, Harry turned into Flourish and Blotts. Kathryn came in after him and walked up to the front desk where Hermione was sitting.
"Hey Hermione. Did you get all those books for us ready" asked an eagerly Kathryn.
"Yes, and now you have to tell me who you are" said Hermione who was sitting in suspense to learn who this mystery girl was.
Handing the half the books to Harry and the other half to Kathryn, Hermione waited for her answer.
"Well my name is Kathryn and I am going to Hogwarts this year. Bye Hermione" was all that Kathryn said and walked out the door of Flourish and Blotts.
"Is that all the information I get? What a rip off. Harry who is she?" yelled Hermione as Harry bolted for the door. Laughing Harry shook his head.
By the time they had got their book, robes and potions stuff they only had 20 minutes before the stores closed. Running to the Weasley twins joke shop, Harry walked up to the counter pulling Kathryn behind him.
"Fred, George where are you? I have someone for you guys to meet," yelled Harry to the back of the shop.
Coming out from the back of the shop, the twins wearing aprons with green ooze on it.
"Harry, long time, no see" said George, hanging his apron up on a hook.
"Who did you say we had to meet?" asked Fred looking for the mystery person.
Harry looking behind him was startled to see that Kathryn had disappeared. "She was here a minute ago. Could you guys help me look for her?" asked Harry starting to look around the shop.
"Harry, there is no need to look for me. I was just looking around. Hello," said Kathryn popping up from behind Harry and waving to the twins.
Jumping a little bit, Harry shook his head and pulled her out from behind him.
"Fred, George, this is Kathryn. She's staying with me until school starts," Harry told the twins.
"Hello, as you can see we are the owners and makers of all the pranks in this shop. Harry, you should of told us earlier you were bringing someone. We would have made tea," laughed George, who was trying to impersonate an old lady.
Laughing along with the twins, Harry only shook his head. When the twins stopped laughing, their expression changed from laughter to seriousness.
"Hey Harry, did you ever get your broom back?" George asked Harry. Fred had gone to show Kathryn around the joke shop.
"Yeah, I got it back about three days. It needs to be polished, but other than that it is perfectly fine. Did Ron tell you that we won the Quidditch cup last year" Harry told him. (A.N. Let's say he got his broom back and can play Quidditch again)
Laughter could be heard from Fred and Kathryn as sparks appeared above one of the shelves. " Yeah, Ron told us all about it. How many new team members do you need this year" asked George as he dusted the pranks in the glass cabinet off.
"I think about 4 new players" Harry replied. A shriek came from the back and was followed be a "Fred Weasley! You get back here. You change my hair back"
A running Fred came zooming past Harry and George, as a pissed off Kathryn came running behind him.
Harry started laughing hysterically at Kathryn. Fred had changed her sandy blonde hair to pink and purple hair with blue highlights. George brought his wand out and undid the spell.
"Reverseo"
"Thanks George. Anyway, Harry it's getting late and we need to be going home soon" she said.
Harry, nodding in agreement Harry said his goodbyes. "Bye George, Fred. Tell Ron and Ginny and your mum I said hi"
Walking out of the shop into the almost now dissertated Diagon Alley, Harry and Kathryn walked home with all their purchases.
Coming home an hour later, they walked into the door to see a very flustered Aunt Petunia. "Where have you two been? It's almost dinner. Go put your things away and wash up."
Walking up the stairs, and into the bedroom they put their things away. After they ate dinner they went to bed.
"Good night Harry" Kathryn said as she went to sleep. Harry was already asleep.

How was that? Review and tell me how the voting should go. This took me like three days to write. I am so bored. If I get two reviews the next chapter should be up soon.
