Catherine Burkes stood on the edge of the water, staring at the people who were sitting in the shade of the trees. There was no doubt that it was Harry Potter and his two friends, but Catherine still felt apprehensive about just walking up and talking to him, after the funeral they both had just sat through.

But enough was enough, and Cat walked over, her black heels slightly sinking into the wet grass.

Harry, Ron and Hermione stopped talking when Cat showed up. "Hi." She said shakily.

"Who are you?" Ron asked.

Hermione slapped his arm. "Be a little ruder, why don't you?" she said to him. Ron frowned. "And obviously you are from Beauxbatons, right?"

Cat nodded. "I'm Catherine. I'll be going into my seventh year, if I do go back at all."

Ron looked confused. "How'd you know she was from-"

"Its on her jacket," Hermione said. Cat looked down on her black skirt suit.

"I remember you." Harry said. "Were you at the Triwizard Tournament?"

"Yes, Madame wanted me to come along, as a special treat." Cat answered.

An award pause came. Harry cleared his throat. "So, uh, why are you here?"

" Voldemort tried to kill me too. He had already gotten to my parents and then he just went for me. He couldn't kill me, I don't know why, but he just stopped trying, and left me. With this of course." Cat said.

Harry, Hermione and Ron didn't quite know to make of this information.

"I just thought we could tell each other out stories, and then we could put an end to everything."

"What?" Harry said.

"I'm here to help you defeat Voldemort." Cat said.

"I'm lost here." Ron said.

"Yeah, right there with you." Harry said.

Even Hermione looked slightly confused.

Catherine took a deep breath and began to start her story. "So, when I was eleven I was taken to Beauxbatons and-"

"Wait, you have a perfect English accent, though." Hermione said.

"I was born here." Cat said, "And I grew up here. But then my parents died, and I was shipped of to France. I entered Beauxbatons, and strange things happened. When I was to be sorted into a house, the book could not choose which one for me. At Beauxbatons, there are five houses, Earth, Fire, Light, Air and Water. It chose Earth in the end, and the book made a green ribbon appear. It said, that I was destined for great things.

"That's the same thing that happened to me." Harry said.

So even though I had no idea what that meant, I just kept going. Things kept on happening. Our headmistress, Madame Vincent, seemed to be scared of me. She said one, to another teacher, that she though she saw Voldemort behind my eyes."

Harry nodded.

"And she was also scared of me, because I had so much power. I can produce a Patronus too, Harry. Madame Vincent was no help to me, none at all. I remembered Dumbledore, and Hogwarts, and I thought that maybe this would be more help to me. After all, my mom went here, and my dad came her for his N.E.W.T's. But, I guess I came late, since he has been killed." Cat's eyes began to water, because she came so close to understanding what she was.

"How could your teacher see Voldemort behind your eyes?" Ron said.

"Because, he marked me as equal too." Catherine said. She tucked her brown hair be hind her ears, and there was a scar of a lightning bolt right in front of her ear.
