"Why are you bothering sending Potter something?" Draco asked as he saw me setting up a parcel for Harry. He had woken up today but they were keeping him another day at the hospital wing just to be safe.

"Because I want to" I replied and handed Whiskers the parcel to take to the hospital wing for me. I would have taken it myself but Madam Pomfrey was refusing to allow any sort of visitors, only having allowed Ron and Hermione on Harry's insistence.

Everyone had done nothing but talk about them and what had happened since they came back. Hermione had given me a quick summary of what had happened and, even though it was only a brief description, it was enough to scare me stiff. The three of them were braver than anyone I had ever met and I was proud to call her my friend even though I thought her actions had been reckless and maybe even stupid. Maybe that's why I didn't belong in Gryffindor; as much as I cared about others, especially when compared to other Slytherin, in the end I always looked after myself. Nonetheless, even though what she told me was all meant to be a secret, everyone in the school knew what had happened before the end-of-year feast even began.

I walked into the Great Hall with Draco and saw the entire place covered in Slytherin green and silver as for our house victory for the seventh year in a row. Draco looked smug, as did a lot of the other Slytherin. We found a seat in the very happy looking Slytherin table. It was strange, I couldn't recall a time where I had seen all of them look so happy at the same time. We all sat around, excited to start the ceremony, when Harry walked in. Everyone got quiet all at once and after two beats they all began to talk really loudly again. Harry went to sit next to Hermione and Ron and looked embarrassed as people went out of their way to get a good look at him

"I still don't see what the big deal is" Draco grumbled next to me. Unfortunately for Pansy he had chosen to sit next to me and Daphne today rather than her and her friends.

"You try doing what he did then" I replied as he made a face. He was about to make a snide comment, I guessed from the look on his face, when Dumbledore took his place at the High Table and began his speech. He looked cheerful like he usual looked and said those weird things he usually said. He began to announce the points and to no one's surprise Slytherin got the highest, winning us the house cup. Everyone in our table cheered loudly and Draco even began banging his goblet on the table.

"Yes, yes, well done Slytherin. However, recent events must be taken into account" Dumbledore said making a lot of the Slytherins' smiles fade a little or for some completely away. "I have a few more points to dish out."

Dumbledore gave a large amount of points to the three brave Gryffindors. Hermione and Ron each got fifty while Harry got sixty. Everyone at my table complained, claiming last minute points weren't fair, but no one dared say that to Dumbledore. We had tied with Gryffindor now and I was okay with that. I cheered for them and was the only one at my table who wasn't enraged by the news. But he wasn't done; Dumbledore raised his hand and everyone fell into silence. What he said surprised everyone but I was happy to hear the words come out of his mouth

"I therefore award ten points to Mr. Neville Longbottom." Neville was white with shock and everyone at his table shouted, cheered, or rushed to hug him. I cheered from my seat at the Slytherin table and received many glares from those around me. Those who were able to do so anyway as a lot of everyone else was too busy being stunned and horrified by our sudden loss to pay any attention to me. One of them was Draco who didn't move for much of the rest of the ceremony.

Before long the exams were scored and it was time to go home once again. I had gotten very good grades and was among one of the highest in my year, not before Hermione of course who was at the top. We all got ready for the train and received notes reminding us not to use magic outside of the school. A few students grumbled when reading them but it was okay, we'd be back at Hogwarts soon enough. Just as I had on the way here I sat with Fred and George on the way home. Hermione would be with Ron and Harry and I knew I would most likely see Draco maybe even Daphne over the break so I wanted to spend some time with Fred and George while I still could.

The trip back to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters went faster than I would've liked and I had to say goodbye to my friends. I said goodbye to Hermione and stayed behind a little to say goodbye to Daphne before she crossed through the ticket barrier. I got a little distracted, looking at the Hogwarts Express, before going with the twins past the ticket barrier myself. Once across I walked with them to where their family was. Ron was already there with a woman and a girl who I assumed where their mother and sister. She greeted her two sons with warm hugs and kisses as their younger sister, Ginevra I think, stared at me.

"Oh, right" Fred said as he realized they didn't know who I was. He and George walked back to where I was standing and rested his elbow on my shoulder. "Everyone, this is Kitty. Kitty, this is our mum. That over there is our sister, Ginny. This here is our younger brother, Ron. Over here is George, or Georgie, if you prefer. And I'm Fred"

"I think she gets it" Ron mumbled at Fred's introduction but I laughed.

"Hello, dear, it's nice to finally meet you. Fred and George have told us so much about you" said their mother with a warm smile. She seemed like a nice lady and I smiled back

"So much. They hardly ever shut up about-" Ginny began to say before Fred covered her mouth. George stood in front of them trying to cover the seen but they were about as sly as I was a muggle.

"Katerina!" I heard a familiar voice call and saw my mother and father standing across from us with Alla beside them. I was surprised to see them but happy at the same time. They on the other hand looked a bit annoyed, noticing who I was talking to most likely having expected to see me with Draco.

"Is that your aunt?"

"No that's Alla" I said looking at where George had been pointing. I had already told them about her which saved me the trouble of having to repeat myself in front of their family. I knew Ron already didn't like me and I didn't want to give the rest of their family a reason too. I gave Fred and George each a hug and said goodbye to their family before making my way towards my own.

"Goodbye mystery girl!" I turned to see Percy had joined the rest of the Weasleys and they were all walking away, as a family. When I reached mine my father gave me a quick kiss on the forehead and my mum gave me one on the cheek. They then began to walk on ahead, expecting me to follow.

"Did you enjoy your time at Hogwarts?" Alla asked taking my cart and Whiskers from me

"Are you kidding? I can't wait to go back!"
