Chapter Four: Wait Til Ron and 'Moine Hear...
Shell t the breakfast table, trying not to stare at Dudley. Dudley was sagging over his chair less then usual, his diet taking effect. The only bad thing was, now he had mounds of loose skin. Petunia was proud all the same. Dudley, on the other hand, was livid.
"Mum! I hate this stupid diet! It's making me look like a deflated volley-ball!" Dudley fake whined.
"Well...maybe we could send you to the gym. It would turn it to muscle and maybe," Uncle Vernon sighed," make you look normal again."
Petunia looked at Dudley thoughtfully and nodded. Dudley felt even worse.
"THE GYM! BUT MUUUMMM!" He cried, knocking his bran cereal to the floor. "I DON'T WANT TO GO!"
"But Duddy-kins! You want to have muscle don't you!" Petunia urged.
"Whatever...but make Harry come too!"
Harry glared. He didn't even have to worry about it though...he was leaving!
"Fine, I'll do it. Doesn't matter anyway." Harry replied, taking his plate to the sink .

Harry patted Hedgwig, gathering his posessions and stuffing them into his trunk. He hadn't been bothered for a while, still waiting for Dumbledore to pick him up. Last night, he recieved an owl from him, telling him he'd be there at lunch and that he'd Apparate in the living room.
"Well, Hedgwig...we're all ready to leave. I can't believe I'm saying this ,but...I'm leaving for good!" Harry exclaimed, laying on the bed.
He glanced at the alarm clock he'd repaired, it was 11:42. Almost time! He jumped up, grabbed his trunk and rushed downstairs, dragging it along. All of the Dursleys were gone, they had went to get Dudley a membership at the local gym. Harry lay on the couch, setting down Hedgwig's cage. He heard a loud 'pop' and fell off the couch, startled as Dumbledore appeared.
"Why, hello Harry. Are you ready?"

Harry heaved his trunk onto his bed at Hogwarts. He was there, waiting for his escort to take him to pick up his cousin. It felt odd for him to have a relative, one he didn't know about. In a way, he was frightened of meeting this Katherine girl.
"Hey, Harry! I'm supposed ter take ya ter get yer cousin." Hagrid said, stooping down to enter into the door.
"Wow," Harry said, his face lighting up. "Where is this orphanage exactly?"
"It's in Hogsmeade, right bout near Honeyduke's." Hagrid replied, "C'mon, we need ter hurry up!"
Harry jumped up and walked out with Hagrid. They both walked down the stairs, talking about nothing in particular. As they rounded down the Charms cooridor, Harry thought of something he'd forgotten.
"Today's her birthday, right?"
"Ya, I think so," Hagrid said, walking with Harry down the entrance hall.
"I don't even have her a present..."

A/N: Back to Kit, she felt neglected...*Kit holds up a sign saying I'm With Stupid, pointing it at the author*

"WHAT?!" Kit exclaimed, staring at Madam Link angrily.
"I have a living, breathing relative and I'm just now leaving here?!"
"Katherine, calm down! He is only just learning of you also." Madam Link replied, putting a few of Kit's things in her suitcase. They were in her room, packing.
"I still can't believe that you waited til just now to tell me!" Kit said huffily, folding her arms across her chest. "I will not leave."
Madam link stared at her stony faced. She set down the shirt she was folding.
"Why is that? One minute you're raving mad that I didn't tell you sooner, now you refuse to leave?"
"Well, I'd have to leave Derek, and Kylie! They are about the only thing close to a brother and sister I have ever had!" Kit exclaimed, picking up the shirt and throwing it to the floor. "I refuse to leave with someone whom I have never even met in my entire existence!"
"Stop being so stubborn! I can see how you feel, most of the orphans here have immediate family that want nothing to do with them!" Madam Link shouted, bending over and grabbing the shirt.
"Can I at least say goodbye to them? I haven't even told anyone!"
"I'll go get them. Is there anyone else you'd like to say goodbye to?" Madam Link asked calmly.
"Yes..."
"Who might that be?"
"Everyone! I'll miss them all...It's not the least bit fair that I have to leave the only home I've ever known!" Kit said, sitting down on her bed and snapping closed the suitcase.
"I'll just have evryone meet you in the entrance hall. Now get ready quickly! He'll be arriving shortly." Madam Link turned on her heels and left.

"We're here!" Hagrid announced as he led Harry up a small set of steps.
Harry stepped up to the door nervously and knocked hard. He looked at Hagrid warily, recieving an encouraging smile back. The door opened quickly, revealing a tall, skinny old witch with long black hair in a tight french-braid.
"I am Madam Portente. Mr. Potter, I presume?" She asked.
"Yes, that would be me...Harry, Mr. Potter." Harry said nervously.
"I'll get Katherine, she's just saying goodbye to her friends." The witch turned, leaving the door open, and walked off to where the girl was.
Harry watched a huddle of people move towards the door. A girl stepped into view.
"Hello, I'm Katherine Clivelle, but my friends call me Kit." The girl held out her hand for him to shake.
Harry took it, stunned. She was a little shorter than he, with long, luxurious purple ringletted hair. Her eyes were a bright gold and she had porcelain white skin. She wore a short-sleeved black shirt over a long-sleeved, collared white shirt, and a short red plaid skirt over black panty hoes. She smiled at him, revealing pearly white teeth.
"Hi, I'm Harry, Harry Potter. Are these your friends?" Harry asked, pointing to the group of people.
"Oh! Sorry, this is Kylie and Derek." Kit pointed to two kids.
Kylie had short red hair and chrome colored eyes. She was short and curvy, wearing a white tank top and khaki flares. Derek stood next to her, towering. He had spiky blonde hair and flaming orange eyes, wearing a blue polo shirt and baggy black jeans.
"Hello!" Kylie said friendly, nudging a scowling Derek.
"Hey," Derek replied flatly.
"These are Alexia and Sean, and this is Kyle." Kit said, pointing to three people.
Kyle nodded, very tall compared to the others. He was wearing a polo shirt and blue baggy shorts. Sean, wearing the same as Derek, waved. Alexia, a very short giddy-looking girl, smiled. She was wearing a yellow sundress.
"Oh, this is Hagrid." Harry said, gesturing towards his older companion.
Kit smiled and took his hand, shaking it gently. She turned as Derek and Kylie came up, hugging her tightly. Kit gasped as Derek kissed her on the cheek. She blushed a deep red.
"Sorry about that, caught up in the moment..." Derek said, turning crimson.
"Kit..." Kyle said, shifting a little on his feet.
"Yes?" Kit asked, walking in front of him.
"I'll miss you a lot." Kyle smiled and pulled her into a gentle hug. "Godbye..."
Kit blushed and walked back up to the door by a smiling Harry. She summoned her suitcase and grabbed it mid-air. Harry's eyes went wide.
"H-h-how...did you-?"
"I'm sure you'll find out soon enough..."
