Background Info

Katie is my own character. She is a 16 year old girl. She has no idea who her parents are. She is in the same year as Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Katie is a Gryffindor. She is very quiet and extremely smart, with grades to rival even Hermione's.

And now on with the story…

Katie was jolted awake when a certain ferret face flicked her in the forehead.

"Morning sunshine," Draco said with a hint of malice in his voice "what's the matter, they finally kicked you out of the orphanage cuz' nobody wanted you."

"Fuck you asshole," Katie replied looking into his pale grey eyes "at least I don't have to live with parents who don't want me." She then stood up, gathered her things and strolled away, shoulders back and chin up, leaving a gaping Draco in her wake.

She had decided she wasn't going to take anymore crap from anyone this year. She was tired of being the quite little Gryffindor, who constantly got picked on. She was sick of it. She was so tired of crying herself to sleep at night because of some insult or another. So what if she didn't know who her parents where, or if she was a pureblood, or muggle born, who cares.

Katie boarded the Hogwarts express and looked for a vacant compartment. She failed to notice all the heads she turned while doing so. Katie had filled out over the summer, though she didn't bother to notice. Katie was 5'3 with long blonde hair and a killer body. She had curves in all the right places, not that she cared. She finally found an empty compartment in the back of the train. She tried putting all of her things into the overhead rack, but she couldn't. The severe bruises on her back and ribs hurt to much when she tried to lift her trunk. So she just left everything on the floor and took a seat facing the window. Thenshegrabbedher ipod out of her bag and enchanted it so it would work around all the magic. Then she drifted off to the sweet sounds of her favorite bands.

Halfway through the train ride there was a knock on the compartment door that startled Katie. She got up to open the door. It was Hermione Granger, one of the only people who she ever spoke to. Hermione came in and sat down. She asked Katie how her summer was. Katie replied "Fine," and inquired about Hermione's summer. Then Hermione said to Katie, "The real reason I came here was to tell you that you are going to be head girl. I was offered the position, but with a choice to either stay here and be head girl or enter into a foreign exchange program with the wizard college."

"Oh, Hermione I cant take that position from you, after you've worked so hard all these years." Katie replied.

Hermione said "But Katie, you've worked hard too, and our grades are almost identical, but I really want the opportunity to go to the foreign wizard college, so please accept and be head girl, you deserve it."

Katie seriously doubted her abilities to be head girl I mean she wasn't outgoing and all that other stuff, she was shy and quiet. But then Katie remembered her promise to herself and realized that this would be the greatest opportunity. By being head girl she could show everyone that she wasn't just the quite depressed orphan that everyone thought her to be. "Okay, Hermione. I guess I could give it a try."

"You'll try!" Hermione replied "Katie you are going to be the best damn head girl Hogwarts has ever seen, just don't put yourself down so much." Hermione stood to leave.

"Thanks Hermione." Katie said, full of gratitude.

"Don't worry about it, but you have to be up in the Head's cabin with all of your stuff in a half hour, for a briefing with the House Heads." Hermione told her.

"Okay, thanks again" Katie said as Hermione was walking out the door. She then began to gather all of her stuff, thinking about the year to come. She was so excited. This had to be the best thing that could have happened to her. I wonder who the head boy is. Katie said to herself. Probably some Hufflepuff.

Once all of Katie's stuff was gathered she began the long walk from the back of the train to the head's cabin. Along the way she stopped by Hermione's cabin to say thank you again. Harry and Ron where both in the cabin and congratulated her and wished her luck. Katie couldn't help but blush, she had never really ever been congratulated before, for anything. So with spirits higher than they had ever been in her life, Katie entered the Heads cabin.
