His robes caught fire as Fred quickly put his wand in his pocket so he wouldn't look too guilty. Snape took a few steps before he noticed. He swiftly grabbed a pitcher of water to put out the flames, but no before shooting a glare at Fred and Kat.

The table roared with laughter. "Fred! That was bloody brilliant! Why didn't we do it sooner?" George shouted down the table.

"Mmm…fire…" came Stephanie. Chandi gave her a weird look.

"Fi-yah!" Brad started singing.

Fred and Harry high-fived.

"Fred! If he can prove that you did it, you'll get detention for a month!" Hermione spoke."

"Ah, Hermione. Don't ruin all the fun!" Ron whined.

Kat started cracking up. "I'm friends with a bunch of freaks!" The whole group went silent. They stared at her as her face turned bright red. "It's an American expression." She dropped her English accent. "I've only lived here a few years…"

Fred laughed. "I didn't know you grew up in America." A bell rang somewhere and students got up to go to class. "Kattykins, dahling, I have to go grab a book from the library, I'll meet you up in the Common Room."

"Alright." They walked out of the Great Hall and separated. Kat was eager to see the Gryffindor Common Room and hurried as fast as she could. She then proceeded to run right into someone. "I'm soooo sorry! Are you all…" She took a look at the person she'd run into and snarled. "Malfoy."

"Well well…if it isn't Miss Look-At-Me-I-Glow herself?" He dropped his voice. "You'd better watch your back. Not many parents will appreciate You-Know-Who's daughter going to school with their child."

Kat laughed. "And you think I care because…?" She walked off, leaving Draco speechless.

She ran through hallways and corridors until ending up at the portrait of the Fat Lady. She almost burst. "Polyjuice Potion!"

"Well now, calm down. I've seen you've changed from a Slytherin. Such new fangled ideas these days." Said the painting before swinging open.

Kat practically flew up the flight of stairs into her Common Room. Kat gasped and thought that something was wrong with her eyes. She had gotten so used to a dark and dreary Common Room, that she wasn't prepared for this. The walls had red and gold wallpaper on them, along with dozens of pictures. All the couches and chairs were a deep scarlet. They were arranged around the fireplace, which had a roaring fire going. She walked up the stairs to a door that said 'third year girls' on it. She opened the door and walked in.

There were five beds total. Three of them had personal touches to them. Another had absolutely nothing on or around it. The last had her trunk at the foot and an envelope on her bed. She glanced at the envelope. On the front it said, "Miss Katarin Riddle". She shrugged and shoved it into her pocket, assuming that it was from one of the teachers. She threw her trunk open and started searching for her books. She pulled a few out and went down stairs.

She set her books on a couch and sat next to them. She pulled out her copy of 212 Simple Potions and Magic Brews and started studying.

A few minutes later, Fred walked in, empty-handed. "They were out of all the copies of Hogwarts, A History. Do you have a copy I could borrow?"

Kat nodded, not taking her eyes off her book, and gestured to the pile next to her. "It's there, somewhere."

Fred walked over and looked through the books. His eyes fell on the blue and white composition book; Kat's diary. She had accidentally brought it down with her. 'Hmm…what's this?' Thought Fred. He thumbed through it and stopped on a page dated yesterday and began to read.

"Did you find it?" When Fred didn't answer, Kat glanced up. She saw her diary and her eyes went wide. "What are you doing!"

"I…erm…" Fred stammered and blushed.

"Why are you reading that!"

"Well…I was looking for the book, and it just kind of…fell open." He tried to say it innocently, but the guilt was written all over his face.

"Freddy! It says 'Katarin Tykins' right on the front. The pages are dated. Why did you read it?" She searched through the books next to her.

"I'm-I'm sorry. I guess I was just curious." Fred closed her diary and held it out. Kat found Hogwarts, A History and shoved it at him after taking her diary.

She grabbed her potions book and went to go sit in a fluffy armchair across the room. "Apology not accepted, Frederick Weasley." She curled up and began to read.

Fred sighed and sat down on the couch where Kat had been earlier. He flipped through the pages of his book, unable to concentrate. 'I think I just messed up big time,' he thought. 'This is way worse than breaking Katie Bell's favorite quill, or dropping Alicia Spinnet's essay in a puddle of water.'

Kat was having trouble focusing. She needed to get this reading done so that she could work on her essay, but there was something nagging her in the back of her head. 'I was a bit harsh on him,' she thought. 'It's obvious that he's sorry about it. And at least he didn't start reading it out loud.' She stifled a laugh.

"And what exactly is so funny over there, Miss Riddle?" Fred asked in a fake-strict tone.

Kat shut up and tried to look serious. "Erm, nothing…Freddy?" She looked at him. "I'm sorry I was so harsh on you about reading my diary."

"Blmey, Fred! You read her diary? And people think I'm the stupid twin!"
