Well I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it. Yes you are in for two big surprises but I refuse to give anything at the moment! Muhahahahahahaha! I'm evil I know but it's my nature! So on with the disclaimer: 'I own Harry Potter and all related titles for my name is J.K. Rowling! Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!' Extremely large men in black suits come near holding a stun gun and a straight jacket. (Yes I'm that crazy) I say, 'you'll never take me coppers! Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!' One says,' we're not afraid of hurting you,' in a deep intimidating voice. I say, 'you'll never catch me fools! Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!' and I run off down the street and they take off after me. I run into an alley and they follow. It was a dead end. 'All right I don't own Harry Potter or any related titles!' I cry and begin weeping, 'for my name is not J.K. Rowling!' Hahahahaha! That was funny I like my sense of humor! Well I hope you like the chapter!

Chapter 2

Diagon Alley

Days past and they turned into weeks it was soon July 30th. Everyone was eating breakfast when five owls swooped in through the window. Karin looked at the owls curiously as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny open their letters that the owls were carrying as if nothing was wrong.

The owl in front of her was becoming impatient and nipped her finger to get her attention.

"Ouch!" cried Karin.

"Oh sorry Karin here," said Harry and he took the letter from the owl and it flew off out the window. "Your letter," said Harry after a moment.

"Oh sorry Harry," replied Karin and she took the letter and opened it. It was made of thick parchment with emerald green ink. She read the letter and was surprised.

Miss. K. Arleen

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Term will begin on September 1st. The train will leave at ten o'clock sharp. Your lists of school supplies are enclosed along with your train ticket. We hope to see you at Hogwarts.

Minerva McGonagall

Headmistress

"I got accepted to Hogwarts," said Karin slowly.

"That's great Karin," replied Harry as he finished his letter.

Karin excused herself and went outside onto the porch. Harry followed her and leaned against the railing and stared at the forest for a moment.

"Are you ok Karin?" he asked.

"Yes just homesick is all," she replied.

"I'm sorry if I upset you," sighed Harry.

"You didn't just brought memories back," said Karin," really it's all right. I'm excited to go to Hogwarts with you and your friends."

"I'm glad for that," Harry said looking at her and smiling.

"I am to Harry," she smiled. They looked into each other's eyes and they leaned in. Their lips were centimeters apart when they heard an explosion. Their heads shot up to see where the noise was coming from. They saw smoke coming from the twins' bedroom and Harry shook his head.

"Shall we head inside?" he inquired.

"Yes," said Karin sadly. They went back inside and everyone gave them questioning looks when they saw their sad faces. Harry merely shook his head in response and went up to the attic to train with Karin.

Three hours of training they went back downstairs and they found eight order members there. They saw Harry and Karin and they were startled.

"I like the new look Harry," said Bill laughing.

"Huh?" asked Harry confused.

"The hair dye, and the ears," replied Bill.

"No hair dye Bill and the ears are natural," replied Harry.

"Then you had concealing charms put on you," said Bill.

"Yeah, Karin took them off," sighed Harry.

"Well we better get to Diagon Alley," said Remus smiling at Harry and Karin.

"How are we getting there?" asked Karin politely.

"Floo Powder," replied Remus. Karin gave him a quizzical look and Remus said," we'll show you." Remus went over to the fireplace and took a pinch of the powder; he threw it into the grate and clamored in. He shouted," Diagon Alley!" and he was whisked away in the emerald flames.

"Ah," said Karin. "Easy enough."

"Keep your elbows tucked in and your eyes closed," advised Harry.

"Why," asked Karin as Tonks went through.

"You'll see," replied Harry as Moody ushered him forward. He flashed Karin an encouraging smile and shouted," Diagon Alley!" and was gone.

Karin stepped up to the grate threw some of the glittering powder into the fireplace and stepped in. "Diagon Alley!" she shouted and was whisked away in the flames.

She was spinning uncontrollably and she realized why Harry said what he said and followed his advice. She was just about to be sick when she was thrown out of a grate. Someone caught her and set her upright. She opened her eyes and saw Harry smiling at her.

"Thanks Harry," said Karin quietly.

"No problem," he replied.

Everyone else came through and they went to do their shopping. Karin thought Diagon Alley was amazing and was looking at everything they passed. Though she said the bank was rather small.

"The vaults are underground," answered Bill.

Karin nodded her understanding as they made their way up the steps. They requested to visit the Weasley and Potter vaults. They rode in the carts, which Karin said were to fast and everyone readily agreed.

After they got their money they went to go get their books at Flourish and Blotts. Then they got their robes, their potions replenished, and got some owl treats for their owls. They were getting Karin's wand when Malfoy came up to her.

"What's such a pretty face doing with Mudbloods and blood-traitors? Not to mention a half-blood," he said looking at her up and down.

"Their my friends," she replied coldly glaring at him.

"Feisty are you? Well I can handle that," smirked Malfoy. Harry heard this comment and shoved him up against a wall wand pointed at his throat.

"Say one more thing about her or anyone in our company and you'll wish you were never born Malfoy," said Harry coldly.

"I'm not afraid of you Potter," sneered Malfoy.

Harry released him and put his wand in his pocket. "I can scare you without my wand Malfoy," Harry spat.

"Oh really Potter how would that be? I'm not running," replied Malfoy coolly.

Harry glared at him and his hands were engulfed in pure black flames. Malfoy paled and had a petrified look on his face and he ran.

Harry let the flames go. He sighed and looked at Karin who smiled at him. He smiled back and they continued to the wand shop. The order members decided to let Harry and Karin go into the shop to get her wand. They entered the shop and the bell overhead tinkled.

"Hello Mr. Potter," said a quiet voice from the shadows and both Harry and Karin jumped.

"Hello Mr. Ollivander," replied Harry cautiously.

"And who might you be?" asked Ollivander to Karin.

"Karin Arleen," she replied equally cautious.

"Pleasure to meet you Miss. Arleen," he said as he whipped out a measuring tape. "All Ollivander wands are unique in exception to Mr. Potter's and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." He began pulling boxes off shelves and said a few moments later," enough," and the tape measure fell to the floor lifeless.

"Here beech wood and unicorn hair twelve inches springy try it," said Ollivander. Karin took the wand and gave it a wave only to have it snatched back by Ollivander seconds later. "Holly and dragon-heartstring eleven inches quiet flexible try."

She took the wand and gave it a wave but it to was snatched away by Ollivander he gave her more and more wands to try. None matched her and the more she tried the happier Ollivander seemed to become. Eventually Ollivander handed her a wand.

"Beech wood and phoenix feather ten inches whippy go on," he said. She took the wand and a warm feeling crept through her, a golden light surrounded her, and a wind whipped her robes around. When the light faded she found Harry smiling and Ollivander looking at her curiously. "Strange indeed."

"What's strange?" asked Karin curiously.

"The phoenix that gave the feather in your wand gave two other feather previously," replied Ollivander.

"Let me guess it was Fawkes," said Harry. Ollivander nodded and Harry sighed. "Let's go Karin we better go see if Remus is worried yet."

Karin nodded and paid for her wand and they left the shop. Remus smiled at the sight of them.

"We were about to send in a search party after you," cried Mrs. Weasley as she hugged them. "What took so long?"

"Tricky customer," replied Karin as she examined her wand.

"Oh and the phoenix that gave a feather to my wand and Voldemort's wand gave another feather. It's in Karin's wand!" said Harry.

"That's interesting for Fawkes to do," muttered Remus.

"We better get going everyone term starts in a few weeks and you need everything packed and ready to go," said Mrs. Weasley. They left Diagon Alley and went back to the Burrow and started packing their books and things into their trunks.

The days passed quickly for Harry and Karin. They never got time to talk about what had almost happened between them before Diagon Alley. They were always too busy with their training to talk during that and with all their packing and such it was hard to find time to talk to each other.

They found their opportunity on the Saturday before they went to Kings Cross Station to catch the Hogwarts Express. They were outside near the pond when Karin remembered.

"Harry, I think we need to talk about what we almost did," said Karin softly staring at the water.

"Ok," replied Harry.

"Look I really like you and I think you like me. Am I right?" asked Karin.

"Yeah," said Harry blushing.

"Well I think we should pick up where we left off," said Karin finally looking at him.

"I do to," replied Harry meeting her gaze. They smiled and leaned in slowly. Their lips met and it was like an explosion of emotion for them both. Their kiss slowly deepened. Both their eyes closed long ago and Harry and Karin were both hungry for more.

Harry's tongue ran against her bottom lip begging and pleading for entrance. She slowly let him in as she wrapped her arms around his neck and his snaked around her waist. They finally broke the kiss and were breathing was fast and shallow. They both somehow managed grins and they got up and walked around the Weasley property hand in hand.
