"Come on Katy, wake up!" yelled Lily.
Katy threw her covers aside and stood up, "What time is it?"
"Late enough that we are going to miss the carriages if you don't hurry!" Emma squealed grabbing her trunk and running down the steps.
Katy magically changed into her muggle clothes and grabbed her trunk. With Lily following her she ran down the steps after Emma. When they finally reached the spot where the carriages normally stood no carriages were left. They could see carriages riding off in the distance. They chased after the carriages and arrived at the destination of the Hogwarts Express. They quickly hopped on and went to the only not full compartment. The marauder compartment. "What do you want?" James asked looking up and seeing the girls.
"This is the only compartment that isn't full we need to share," Emma explained.
"And why are you so late?" Sirius asked as the girls sat down.
"Katy slept in!" Lily whined.
Katy smiled sheepishly, "About that, my alarm clock was supposed to go off."
"It did! You turned it off and threw it into your trunk!" Emma exclaimed.
"Oh, sorry," Katy said smiling sheepishly once again.
Lily glared and said, "Did you even look at your outfit?"
"No," Katy said looking down.
She was wearing a purple shirt with jeans. The shirt said, "Loser." She was wearing one purple sock and one yellow. She grinned, "It's not that bad."
Emma pointed her wand at Katy's shirt and changed Loser to Mad Woman. She then used a spell to change the purple sock to yellow. Katy smiled, "Thanks for the socks and I guess the shirt too."
"No problem," Emma said grinning, "Lily are you sure you don't want to come over my house for the summer, Katy is?"
Lily shook her head, "I'll be fine, Aunt Daisy will keep me company."
"Alright, if your sure," Emma said.
"I'm sure," Lily said confidently.
The trolley came to their compartment and James bought ten of everything. He shared with the whole compartment. By the end of the train ride Katy was telling everyone there wouldn't be any room for breakfast. "You're telling me," Emma had answered rubbing her stomach.
"Don't rub your stomach it makes you seem like you're pregnant or something," James told her.
Emma smacked James' arm. The train came to a halt and everyone grabbed their trunks. Walking out into King's Cross station Emma pointed out her mum to Katy. Lily went over to her Aunt Daisy. Sirius and James found Mrs. Potter talking to Mrs. Prewitt. "Oh, you'll just have to come to our ball again this year," Mrs. Potter was saying to Mrs. Prewitt.
Remus left to find his mum and Peter scurried off to find his family. "We're here mum," Emma said to Mrs. Prewitt.
"Oh, hello, Emma dear," Mrs. Prewitt said, "Oh and Katy it's nice to see you girls again."
"Hello girls," Mrs. Potter said smiling, "I'm afraid I've never met you miss?" She asked Katy questioningly.
"Oh, it's Katy Riddleson," Katy said smiling.
"Oh, hello Katy," Mrs. Potter said smiling warmly, "Oh there my boys are. James, Sirius!"
James and Sirius walked over to the little crowd of people. "Mum," James and Sirius greeted.
"Well, we best be going," Mrs. Prewitt said, "Girls you passed your apparation tests am I right?"
"Yes," they answered.
With three pops Mrs. Prewitt, Katy, and Emma had apparated to the Prewitt Mansion. Once they arrived their Emma, startled, asked her mom, "Where's Ryan? We forgot to meet up with him!"
Mrs. Prewitt chuckled softly, "No he saw me earlier he's already here."
Emma breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come on Katy, let's go to our rooms."
"Oh, and the Weasleys are coming to dinner tonight!" Mrs. Prewitt called.
"Ok, mum!" Emma called.
Katy and Emma found their rooms and dumped their trunks into their rooms. Emma and Katy had a joint type room. Emma's room was huge. It contained a really soft huge bed. The sheets were blue-green. The walls were painted light blue. She had a window seat that was just above a roof. She often climbed out onto the roof and sat among the clouds, that's how high up the house is. Her room was also had a bathroom. Then there was a door that always was open. It opened into Katy's room. Katy's room was an exact replica of Emma's. With the window seat just above the roof, the bed, and the bathroom. The only difference was her bed sheets were midnight blue and her walls and ceilings were enchanted so it looked like she was in space. The stars and constellations mimicked the real night sky. "So what should we do until dinner time?" Katy asked.
"How about we go swimming?" Emma suggested.
"Alright sounds good," Katy said.
They changed into their bathing suits and headed out to the pool. Emma jumped onto a raft that was floating in the pool. Katy jumped onto the end of that same raft. When Katy landed the raft plunged underwater and the girls fell off. "Katy," Emma whined.
"Oh, quit whining I would have pushed you in anyway," Katy said spitting water out of her mouth.
Emma splashed water at Katy, who in return splashed back. "This is so pointless!" Katy declared.
"Yeah, we are splashing water at each other and it doesn't matter because we are wet without the waters help!" Emma said.
They giggled for a few minutes and then decided to do a few laps. "Girls!" Mrs. Prewitt called.
"Yes, mum?" Emma asked.
"Get showered and don't wear anything nice, no jewelry," Mrs. Prewitt called.
Katy looked at Emma curiously and Emma said, "The Weasleys are poor."
"Well that's nice of you," Katy said as they walked to their rooms.
"No, I am serious they are the poorest pureblood wizards," Emma said, "And the nicest."
Katy nodded, "Okay, so a skirt and a polo?"
"Yup," Emma said.
They both showered before heading down to the less fancy dinning room. "Okay let's see," Mrs. Prewitt was saying to Molly discussing wedding plans, "It's a lucky thing the bride's family always pays."
Katy and Emma giggled. "Mother!" Molly scolded and then added, "I hope to borrow some money from you for our honeymoon to France."
"Of course dear," Mrs. Prewitt said, "But, you made a pact with Arthur that you can't borrow any money after the wedding and honeymoon so I bought you a house/burrow in the middle of nowhere. It's tall and should fit the large family you wanted."
"Also, mother seeing how I already have three children Charlie, Bill, and Percy do you think I could keep them in your house?" Molly asked.
"Oh, sure darling," Mrs. Prewitt said, "I still think you should have had the wedding before those kids!" she scolded.
"Well, Arthur wasn't sure we should have one since I didn't know I was pregnant till a month in and I didn't want to raise a one year old while I had my wedding! Plus we are married we eloped when we had Bill. But then I decided I wanted a real wedding but the babies got in the way!" Molly cried out.
"How old are they again?" Mrs. Prewitt asked.
"Mother!" Molly yelled.
"What?" Mrs. Prewitt asked, "It's a simple question really."
"Well, I really don't mind being pregnant and getting married, I'd still look fine, plus I know a spell to make me skinny while I am pregnant for a day!" Molly said.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Mrs. Prewitt asked.
"Well, I have a feeling by the wedding I'll be pregnant again," Molly explained, "Plus I just had Percy didn't I? I think I deserve a re-marriage I am 27! I turn 28 in July! And I had my first baby at 20!"
"No, I don't believe that!" Mrs. Prewitt said, "Fabian and Gideon are only 22!"
"Yes, that's right," Molly said, "I had bill at 20, Charlie at 22, and Percy at 26! I won't be surprised if I am pregnant by then!"
"If that's true how old are they?" Mrs. Prewitt asked.
Katy and Emma looked at each other and giggled. This conversation was quite amusing. "Bill is 8, Charlie is 6, and Percy is," Molly said.
"Oh, well I guess you are right then," Mrs. Prewitt said giving in.
"Oh, girls, I didn't spot you there!" Mrs. Prewitt said in surprise.
"Er, yea. Are the Weasleys here yet?" Emma asked.
"Oh, not yet they must be running late," Mrs. Prewitt answered.
Right on cue the house-elf came in with the Weasleys in tow. "The weasels have arrived," Maria the house-elf said.
Bill said angrily, "It's Weasley not weasel!"
"I is sorry," the house-elf said.
"That's alright," Molly said, "Bill is just too defensive!"
Charlie stuck his tongue out a Bill for no apparent reason and Bill said, "Hey, Charlie that's for little kids!"
Percy started wailing and Arthur handed him to Molly, "I'm sorry for being late Molly dearest, my mother and father are on their way in."
Just then Mr. and Mrs. Weasley arrived, "Oh, Molly it's good to see you again," Mrs. Weasley exclaimed
"You too," Molly said hugging Mrs. Weasley with her unoccupied arm.
Once everyone was seated Emma said, "So Arthur, what do you do for a living?"
Arthur turned to Emma, "Oh, I am in muggle relations for the Ministry and I do some side work on dealing with you-know-who," Arthur said.
"Oh, that sounds interesting," Emma said enthusiastically.
Arthur beamed, "It is. Do you have any muggle born friends maybe I could interview them?"
"Oh, yea, I do. Lily Evans," Emma said.
"What do you girls want to be?" Arthur asked them.
"Oh, I want to be an Auror," Emma answered.
"Me too," Katy said.
"That's a really hard and high paying job!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed.
"Oh, yes," Mrs. Prewitt said, "Emma excels in Defense against the Dark Arts, and Katy does very well in Potions, both required subjects."
"Oh, what smart girls you have," Mrs. Weasley exclaimed.
"Oh, no, Katy isn't mine. Although we do keep watch over her during the summer and holidays," Mrs. Prewitt said.
"Oh," Mrs. Weasley said, "Who is her real family?"
"She only has a father, Mr. Riddleson," Mrs. Prewitt said.
The Weasleys faces darkened at the name. Arthur said, "He's in league with you-know-who he is."
"Yes, he is," Katy said, "He was always away working for him."
"Oh, you poor dear," Mrs. Weasley said sympathetically.
"Oh, it's not that bad, now that I stay with the Prewitts," Katy said waving the subject aside.
The rest of the dinner passed uneventfully. As soon as the Weasleys left Mrs. Prewitt made the girls go to bed. Molly and her new family would be staying. Bill and Charlie would share a room on the second floor. Percy, Molly, and Arthur would share a room on the third floor. "Well night Katy," Emma said climbing into bed.
From the other room Katy called, "Night, Em!"
They shut out the lights eager to baby-sit Charlie and Bill the next day. Molly and Arthur asked them to tell Bill and Charlie as much as they could about magic. They had left it up to the girls to tell Bill and Charlie about Hogwarts.
