Thanks to Jazz my first Reviewer!!
To answer you question Jazz knows me and read the one I wrote on the way to North Carolina.
Jazz:: By now you should know I add things to my stories when I type them up.
Now to my story!!!
----
"Come on!" Elizabeth said shaking me awake. It was noon. "Get up Cat!"
"I'm up! I'm up!" I rolled over and got out of bed.
"We leave in a little while. You need to take a shower and eat something before we leave."
"Alright, alright." I said standing up and walking to the bathroom.
---Two o'clock----
"Catriona get down here! We need to leave!" Elizabeth yelled.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." I said coming down the stairs.
"Finally." Mary said.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed some of the Floo Powder.
"Diagon Alley." I said tossing some in the fire.
I arrived in a place called the Leaky Caldron. I was soon fallowed my step-mother and sister.
She looked at me and said "You want to go alone don't you?"
I nodded and smiled.
"Well here is your money and list. Are you sure you want to go alone?"
"Elizabeth, I have been getting my supplies by my self since I was a second year. That includes one other school. So I think I can." I took the money and headed out the door.
I walk out of the Leaky Caldron and in to the Alley. It reminded me a lot of where I use to get school stuff in Ireland. I sighed and looked at my list and decided I would get my uniform first, and then depending on the time I would pick where to next.
'I must not spend all my money in the Quidditch store.' I thought to myself. I walked down the street knowing sooner or later I would find the uniform store.
I felt a tug on my old school robes. I turned around and saw a little girl about eight.
"Are you Catriona O'Calloghan?" she asked.
I smiled at her and said "Yes I am."
"Can I have your autograph?"
"Sure." I said with a smile.
She handed me a pen and a magazine. I was on the front it was one of the trading card pictures and the headlines read
'Ireland Trades there best player ever to England! Catriona has said nothing to us yet. Hopeful this is just a rumor Ireland fans. But we have to see."
I looked shocked and thought 'What the bloody hell is going on.'
I finished signing it and smiled at her.
"Thank you!" She said with a big smile.
"Your welcome."
She ran off most likely to show everyone.
'I have to find out what is going on. And get out of here.' I thought. I knew what was about to happen. I was too late everyone already knew I was here. I started to hear my name.
I turned around and crows of people were behind me with stuff for me to autograph, things from brooms to pieces of paper. So I singed as many as I could till I looked at my watch. It read 3:00
"Ack!" I said. "I'm sorry everyone I have to go, stuff for school." I turned around ran down the street followed by a group of people. I finally lost them for a short amount of time. I found the store I was looking for and walked in. There was many first years.
I tapped a lady on the shoulder and said "I need to find…"
"You are Catriona O'Callaghan!"
"Shhh! Not so loud." I laughed a little "I just singed enough autographs for one day."
She laughed a little and said "What school?"
"Hogwarts."
She fitted me for my robes and when she was done and handed me my stuff she asked,
"My daughter is a big fan could you sign this for her?" She handed me a magazine and a pen.
"Sure. What's her name?"
"Kate, she wants to be a beeter when she gets in to school."
I handed it to her when I was done.
"Thanks she'll love it."
"Your welcome. Where is the closest Quidditch store?"
"Go down the street a little and you should find it."
"If anyone asks if you have seen Catriona please say 'no'. If they ask if you have seen Cat will you tell them where I went?"
She smiled "Sure will."
I waved good bye and walked out of the shop.
'Now for the Quidditch store. I need a new broom. I think a Firebolt would be good.' I have a Firebolt 2004 but I was told that couldn't be used in school Quidditch.
I walked in and my watch read 3:45. Ron would be here at 4. There were not many people in there.
'Thank god.' I said.
I walked to the guy behind the counter and said "I need a Firebolt."
He pulled one of the displays and turned around and said "That will be… You are Catriona O'Callaghan!"
I smiled "Yea that's me."
"Could you sign my broom?"
"Sure." I signed it and then placed the money on the counter.
"No I can't take this. You beat Romania."
"Thanks! Are you sure?"
"Yup." He wrapped it up. As soon as he handed it to me like, well, magic one of my old friends came running through the door.
"Cat!"
People turned around and looked at her.
"Sorry everyone go back to whatyou where doing." She said very fast. When she got to me she said,"I have been looking every where for you. Iris called me last night and told me you moved to England. I was asking everyone if they had seen you but all they could do was point. Then I came to this lady in the robe store and told me where you were 'cause I called you Cat." She said extremely fast.
"Jess, how many Butter Beers have you had?"
"That doesn't matter."
That meant she didn't know how many she had. She doesn't usually drink Butter Beer.
"I saw a guy; he had red hair and was cute. He has a twin but he is a lot cuter then he is. I remember him from when I was a third year at Hogwarts."
Jess was already out of school and learning how to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I met her when she was in Ireland. We have been best friend ever since then. She loved playing jokes on teachers so she was always at Dumbledore's office.
"And guess what! He was with Charlie."
"The one we helped with the dragons?"
"Right! He was with 5 of his brothers and his sister!"
"Who Charlie?"
"No! The guy I saw. I also saw Victor Krum. He was with the girl I we met in France."
"Who Hermione?"
"Right and the guy who survived he-who-should-not-be-named attacked!"
"You mean Harry Potter?"
"Yea him. There over there." She pointed to the people on the other side of the room. Victor saw me and started walking over.
"Uh oh." Jess said.
"Yea, uh oh. I knew the where here. I didn't feel like talking to Victor. I threw a Quaffle at him! Well really it was a Troy he was going to score but Victor got in the way and I broke his collar bone."
"Well if it isn't O'Calloghan." Victor said.
"Krum what are you doing here?" I looked at Hermione "Hermione is that you? You look so different now."
She laughed a little "Cat how are you? How has Quidditch going?"
"I'm Fine. Quidditch is going fine to. Expect some how I was traded and didn't even know it."
"Ah hmm." Victor interrupted.
"Yes?" I asked looking at him.
"During the World Cup you broke my collar bone. You have been blamed for the reason we didn't win."
"And the World Cup was what? Two years ago? You need to learn not to hold grudges.
"Cat! Cat!" Jess said pointing out the window. "That is him."
They walked in the door and I looked at my watch 4:00.
"Hey Ron." Harry said waving. Ron and the rest of his family walked over to us.
"Hi Ron." I said when he came over.
After them a reporter walked in saying "Catriona a word?"
"Um could I have your autograph?" Ron's brother's and sister asked.
"Cat this is my family. Fred, George, Ginny, Bill and you said you all ready knew Charlie."
"Yes how are you Charlie?"
"Fine."
I looked at his brothers and sister and said "Sure."
"That's him, Fred." Jess whispered.
"Catriona a word?" The reporter repeated.
"You broke my collar bone." Krum said.
'So many people,' I thought to myself. 'I got to get out of here...'
"Shut up!" I yelled. The room went dead silent. "Thank you. Victor get over it. I was doing my job." He hit me smack in the middle of my collar bone. I heard the crack of the bone. I drew a jagged breath and said "Fred met my friend Jess." I held my good arm to her. I almost fell over the pain was so bad. To everyone it seemed that he hit me and nothing happened.
"Hello Harry I am…"
"Catriona O'Callaghan. Can I have your autograph?"
I signed it 'Thank god he hit my left arm.' I was right handed and didn't need any more trouble with that arm. While I was writing my sleeve move so you could see the scar. I quickly finished and put that arm done.
"Everyone it was nice seeing you but I have to find…" Krum knocked my feet out from under me. I fell on my hurt arm. I let out a muffled yelp of pain. I tried to stand up but I saw the pretty small black dots and stumbled.
"Are you ok?" Ginny asked.
"I'm fine."
I got up in time to see Ron push Krum and yell
"What do you think you are doing? What would happen if her head hit something?" He punched him.
I fell down again and hit my head just about the time Elizabeth walked in. That was the last thing I remembered.
-----Jess P.O.V----
I looked over at Cat. She was on the ground unconscious and bleeding.
"Oh my god!" I yelled. I ran over to her and bent down. I tried to figure out what happened.
'She must have tripped and fallen backwards into the display of the Firebolt 2004.' I thought to myself. Broken glass was every where. I then noticed Elizabeth and Mary had walked in and saw Cat on the floor. So I did the one thing I knew I could do. I gave out orders.
"Fred go help Cat's mother before she has a panic attack."
"Who?"
"The women over there." I pointed at them. "Charlie you and Ginny alert the med-wizards. Bill you get me something to press one the wound. George you and Harry go break up that fight before we have another injured person on are hands. Hermione you try to help me wake her up." I looked at Cat and said
"Cat listen to me! You can't leave just yet. Wake up! You still have to beat me in horse back ridding race. You also have to teach me how to play Quidditch. You have to watch me get married and I have to watch you get married."
Hermione was sitting next to me trying to help me wake her up and Harry was trying to break up the fight when Charlie and Ginny came in with the med-wizards. The med-wizards saw Cat and came running over.
I watched Elizabeth came over to them and said "I have to go with you."
"Are you her mother?" one asked.
"Step-mother her real mother died."
"Alright." The other said.
I looked at Elizabeth and said "Mail me tonight and tell me how she is doing."
"Alright. Would you do me a favor and take Mary home and tell her father to meet me at Mungos?"
I nodded.
Then they disappeared. Fred walked over to me and said "What about her sister?"
"I'm taking her home." I said weakly.
"I'll do it. I live next door. Want me to take you home to?"
I nodded.
"Charlie. I'm taking them home I'll be back at six."
"Alright."
