Kathy woke the next morning feeling disorientated, wondering where she was, before she suddenly recalled that she was at Hogwarts, and not just at Hogwarts, but was at Hogwarts as a student. With a sudden burst of energy Kathy leapt from her bed, only to stubble and fall onto her neighbour's bed, waking both the girl, and the rest of the room.
"Next morning, set an alarm!" snapped one girl. She had mouse brown hair, and an upturned nose. "My father warned me about rooming with a Potter. He was right, no consideration for anyone else" She sneered nastily.
Kathy blushed bright red, clashing with her hair, "I'm sorry, alright. It was an accident."
"Whatever." The girl muttered as she drifted off towards the showers.
Kathy glanced around at her other roommates. "I'm really sorry; I didn't mean to wake anyone."
The blonde girl who had been sorted after Kathy smiled, and whose bed Kathy had landed on, smiled. "No harm done. Can't believe we're really here. I'm Alicia Spinnet by the way."
The other girl, who had short black hair joined them sitting on Alicia's bed. "Angelina Johnson." She said shyly.
"Nice to meet you both." Kathy grinned, "I'm Kathleen Potter, but everyone calls me Kathy."
"Like we could miss the fact we were sharing a room with the famous Kathleen Potter." Alicia teased, before seeing Kathy's face fall. "I'm sorry, what did I say?" she asked worriedly.
"It's nothing." Kathy said, making a move to stand and move away, good mood disappearing fast.
"Look, I'm really sorry. I don't know what I've done; please tell me so I don't repeat my mistake."
Kathy sighed. Alicia had a point. "It's just, everyone says that when we first meet. 'Wow, Kathleen Potter, sister of Harry Potter, famous boy-who-lived' and well it sucks. I'm famous because of three people I barely got a chance to know. My clearest memory of my father was the day he died. I don't know my little brother, and oh, I look so like my mother. Aunty Minnie and Uncle Albus are the only two people, until I met the Weasley's that ever seemed to see me as just Kathy."
Alicia looked aghast at what she had said, upset at the thought of already upsetting one of her dorm mates. 'Good going idiot.' She chastised herself.
Kathy looked up and smiled at the two girls. "I'm sorry." She said, "I didn't mean to get upset. It's just one of those things."
Indeed, Angelina and Alicia would soon learn that it was one of the few things Kathy really hated, one of the few things that would upset her.
"Anyways, shall we get dressed and go to breakfast. You've got to meet Fred George and Leelee!"
Down in the common room Fred and George were waiting, somewhat impatiently, for Lee and Kathy. They had stormed out of their dorm room after listening to the slightly overweight bloke ask them if they thought Kathy would tell him what happened the night her parent's died. They of course knew, but they couldn't believe that someone could be so idiotic. So they left him tied up on his bed.
Noise from the girl's staircase alerted them to the arrival of Kathy.
"FINALLY!" George shouted as he ran up to see Kathy, reading the sixth step before a loud noise rang out and the step melted into a slide below. His arms flew out, trying desperately to grab something, but there was nothing there and he slid back, knocking Fred to the floor in the common room. Before the two boys could pick themselves up, three girls landed on top of them.
Eventually, when they had picked themselves up, berated George for making them slide down the stairs (even though the girls actually enjoyed the slide) and Lee had joined them, Kathy started the introductions.
"Guys this is Alicia and Angelina," She said indicating each girl in term, "and these are Fred, George and Leelee." Again, Kathy introduced the correct brother with the right name, surprising the twins greatly.
"Leelee?" Alicia queried, "That's …um…unusual." Angelina nodded along with her friend shyly.
"It's lee." Lee almost growled, turning to Kathy, "You have to stop this."
"Stop what Leelee?" she asked innocently, "You told me your name was Leelee Jordan."
Lee rolled his eyes, but before he could respond, the twins decided they had been quiet too long. "BREAKFAST!!" they shouted, causing everyone in the common room to jump, and Percy who was nearby to glare in their direction.
A/N - I am so sorry guys for the lack of updates recently - life's gone pretty crazy with exams and I'm moving house and yeah, I've just got stuff happening right now that I really wish wasn't.
Anyways, thankyou to everyone who has reviewed or subscribed to this story. I apologise this chapter is so short, but I needed to cut a chapter down (It was really long!!) so there will be another chapter up in a few days.
I do have one issue I'm undecided on yet, maybe some of you can give me an idea (Review or message me) I want to know how Snape should react to Kathy, I know he know's her, but I doubt that he had ever spent time with her alone or even at close quaters when albus or minerva weren't nearby. Being Kathy is almost the oposite of Harry - Looks very like her mother but has her father's personality, I don't know quite which way to swing the first potions lesson. Any idea's would be wonderful.
Again, thank you for your patience with me...I'll stop rabbiting on now.
Love Becca
