Reia took my cursed dream rather well. She now understands how I ended up getting my own room for all those years, and I explained the glowing green pendant than Snape and I both have.
Reia and I were sitting at the dining table the next morning eating breakfast.
"Anything interesting in the Daily Prophet?" I asked Reia from across the table
"Huh? Oh sorry I was reading the comics. Do you want to read it?" She asked me, handing me the paper.
I sighed.
"No thanks..." I said taking a bite out of my toast.
Harry walked in.
"Ohh, uh hey." Harry mumbled.
"Good morning." I said smiling.
"You guys are up early." He said taking a seat at the table.
"My room is like a sauna, it's hard to sleep in there." I commented.
"Oh yeah?" He said grabbing a piece of toast from the table.
"Yeah, Reia managed to score Sirius' room." I said glaring at Reia.
"Hey, don't blame me for being his favourite." She said.
She stuck her tongue out at me.
"I hope you aren't upset that he's also my Godfather..." Harry said nervously.
"Are you kidding? Of course I'm not upset Harry. Why would I be?" I replied.
"Well, I didn't think you wanted to share your dad after finding out that you actually had one." He commented.
"I honestly don't mind sharing him with you Harry, Reia on the other hand..." I said looking over at her.
Reia winked at me and shoved some scrambled eggs in her mouth.
"Did you join the Order?" Harry asked me.
"Ugh, no... Sirius won't allow it. I do want to though. I want to help." I replied back.
"Same here" Harry mumbled.
"Are you kidding, you're like the "boy who lived" just sitting here, you're helping. Me though, I'm a nobody." I said taking a sip of my coffee.
"Kate, you are far from a nobody!" Harry exclaimed.
"Yeah Kate!" Reia agreed.
I thought about the dream I had last night... Was it just a dream? Or was I actually suppose to get he-who-must-not-be-named to fall in love with me?
"I just wish I could do something to help." I added.
An owl flew in threw the dining room table and dropped an envelope in front of me. Neat printing read Ms. Kate Black on the front.
"That's weird, I'm not expecting anything." I said
"Hang on; it might be some Dark Magic or something." Harry exclaimed as he reached for the letter
"Oh what ever," I said grabbing it before he did.
I slowly opened the letter; there was just a letter with a few short words written on it.
"Spinner's End, Last House on the End, 8'o'clock.
- S.S"
I smirked and placed the letter back in the envelope.
"Who is it from?" Harry asked.
"Oh um, it's nothing." I replied.
Reia grabbed the letter from me.
"Hey! No Reia, don't read it!" I yelled.
She pulled it out of the envelope as I tried to grab it. She quickly skimmed threw the letter.
"OH MY GOD!" She exclaimed
"REIA SHUT UP, DON'T SAY ANYTHING!" I demanded.
Reia made this weird shrieking noise
"THAT'S SO CUTE" She squealed.
"REIA I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU SAY ANYTHING!" I said as I grabbed the letter back.
"What! What does it say?" Harry asked.
"Nothing" I snapped.
"Girls are crazy." Harry replied taking a sip of his juice.
"No, just this one." Reia said pointing to me.
"Oh whatever Reia." I replied.
"Are you going to go threw with it?" Reia asked.
"Shut-up!" I hissed.
"I'll leave you girls alone." Harry smirked
He got up from the table.
"No it's okay Harry, you can stay!" I insisted.
"It's okay. I need to start unpacking my things." He replied.
"Well, okay... See you later then." I said.
"See you." He replied as he left the room.
I got up and put my plate in the sink.
"I don't even know how I'm going to be able to go." I said as I slumped down in my chair.
"What? WHY!" Reia asked.
"How am I going to sneak out of here? Members of the Order coming in and out and not to mention Sirius!" I explained.
"Well if you can time it right, I'm sure you can get out of here without any of the Order seeing you." Reia said.
"And Sirius?" I asked.
"Oh, don't worry Katie... You leave Sirius to me." She smirked.
"I'm already not liking this idea..." I replied.
"Do you want too spend some alone time with him or not!" Reia asked.
"Ugh... Okay, but we only have one chance to do this." I said.
"Are you ready?" Reia asked me.
"As ready as I'll ever be I guess." I replied nervously.
She gave me a wink and walked into up the stairs quietly. I hid behind the wall next to the dining area where Sirius, Lupin, the Weasleys' and Tonks sat discussing the current events. I held my high heels in my hand so I wouldn't make any "clicking" sounds when walked out. I heard Reia's shriek and I heard her foot steps running into the dining room.
"Sirius! There's a spider in my room! Can you come kill it for me please!" She pleaded.
I heard Sirius' chair slide from the table.
"Of course Reia! Show me where it is" He replied.
I heard there foot steps walk away from the dining room. I smirked. Reia should have been an actress. I bolted to the door, opened the door and closed it behind me. I felt the evening air refresh my face. I walked bare foot down the front stairs and down the street. I was a safe enough distance from the house before I Disapparated to Spinner's End.
"Whew" I whispered.
I put on my high heels and straightened out my tight black dress. My footsteps echoed as I walked down Spinner's End. There were houses boarded up, broken windows and un-tamed yards. Everything seemed to be dull in color and lack a certain life to it. I was starting to think that the note wasn't from Snape at all, until I reached the house at the end. The mailbox read - S. Snape on it. I stood in front of the two story brick house that was presumed to be Professor Snapes.
I took a deep breath and walked up the walk way and up the front steps. I held up my hand in a fist to knock on the door, but I stalled.
Was this a trick?
My stomach clenched and my heart pounded against my ribs. I closed my eyes and knocked on the door.
