New to Hogwarts

By: akirk85029

It seemed that everyone was back home at the Weasley's for the Christmas Holiday. Bill and Fleur were the first to greet everyone when they arrived.

It took about an hour before Harry and Kate finally made it upstairs to her room and started going over the paperwork they had printed off in America. When they finished the paperwork and signed everything, they wondered how they were going to get to the town to be able to mail it off. They had decided to do most of the stuff the muggle way so as to not get caught.

They had just made it downstairs when Arthur announced that he was going into town to meet the Granger's as they were spending Christmas with them again. Harry jumped at the chance given to him and went with Arthur.

Hermoine gave Kate a questioning look and Kate just shrugged her shoulders hoping that Hermoine wouldn't ask too many questions right now. She wanted to tell Hermoine, they wanted to tell everyone but they knew that now was not the right time.

Kate watched as Molly prepared for the dinner feast and knew that her aunt was still missing Percy and she wondered how long it was going to take before he realized the truth.

They had prepared the table and were just barely sitting down when Arthur and Harry came back with the Granger's. Harry winked at Kate letting her know that he was able to mail the paperwork off. Kate smiled back at him. Fred and George not knowing what the wink was for started laying into Harry.

After dinner Harry had to write a letter to his Aunt and Uncle explaining that he was going to have a letter delivered to them. Since he and Kate had to do things the hard way, they were forced to put down the address of Harry's relatives for the Registrar's office to mail the marriage schedule to. Harry tied the note to Hedwig and tried to make her feel better because he knew she wasn't too happy about having to deliver the letter to the Dursley's.

Kate heard Callie meowing early in the morning, so she was up before everyone else as she had to give Callie some food. Crookshanks made his way down soon after.

It didn't take long before everyone was up and exchanging their gifts. When everyone settled down, Bill got up to say something.

"Mum and Dad, Fleur and I have another present for you." Bill said trying to keep the smile off of his face.

Molly and Arthur looked at them trying to figure out what else they could have gotten them.

Fleur stood up next to Bill while he continued, "Well, Fleur and I well, we um, well she's pregnant." Bill finally said.

Molly started crying and hugged both of them. Arthur and everyone else congratulated Bill and Fleur. Ginny asked when she was due and Fleur advised them that the baby was due in June, which would make her three months along now.

Soon everyone who was not a parent or would be parent was outside doing different things, while the ones inside were busy talking about baby stuff. Harry and Ron were soon playing a game of chess while Hermoine and Kate started talking about Arithmacy. Charlie, Fred, and George sat down to play a game of exploding snap.

The holidays seemed to fly by and soon they were back at Hogwarts. Quidditch practice picked right back up and was as grueling as ever, as there was going to be a match on Hogwarts grounds at the end of the month.

Harry was finally starting to get suspicious because it seemed that the Slytherins appeared to back off of starting anything with Harry, but Harry didn't really have that much time to think about it with his classes and the extra quidditch practices.

Classes seemed to be getting really tough now and they had homework practically every night. Harry and Ron were complaining about this when Hermoine reminded them that they would be taking their N.E.W.T.'s at the end of this year.

The team arrived from Argentina the day before the game was to start and they were greeted personally by Dumbledore. They were brought in during dinner and they had ended up deciding to sit with the Hufflepuff table.

There was not one student in the school who was not up in the stands the very next day to watch the game.

The players took the field. Madame Hooch was again refereeing. She threw the quaffle in the air and Hogwarts had the ball. They scored the first goal of the game.

After Hogwarts was up fifty to ten, the Argentineans seemed to almost give up; they just weren't into to the game as they were in the beginning.

Soon Harry had caught the snitch and then everyone cheered.

After the game, they learned that Argentina was now out of the running for the Final Game. This had been their last chance to stay in and they lost heart at the end.

Dumbledore allowed the sixth and seventh years to accompany the Argentineans to the town. Ron and Hermoine were going, but Harry and Kate decided to stay behind. They went up to the owlery and sent Hedwig to visit the Dursley's to see if their letter had arrived.

A couple of days before they were to leave for Italy, Hedwig came back with a letter. Harry opened it and found the sealed envelope containing the marriage schedule they were waiting for along with a note from his uncle telling him that they were not a post office for his private use and that they will not do it again. Harry shrugged, he didn't care. He went and hid the letter at the bottom of his trunk.

They arrived in Italy and were greeted by Gabriela, who insisted everyone call her by her first name only. The school in Italy was about the same size as the school in Spain.

Gabriela was refereeing this match and everyone immediately got into their positions. She threw the quaffle up and Italy grabbed it first. They scored the first goal, but when Kate scored the next three things turned nasty.

Harry was sickened; they were as bad as the Slytherins. They did every rotten trick in the book, including breaking several limbs including Kate's arm. Harry seized the snitch and with great satisfaction held it up to their faces as the Hogwarts team surrounded him cheering.

Kate's arm was mended that night and the next day when they went to the city, Kate and Harry stayed very close to Dumbledore. They weren't exactly sure how sore the team from Italy was about losing that game.

The school seemed to be even more excited if that was even possible. Only one more match to win for them to definitely be in the Final. Hermoine was even starting to get real excited.

Harry and Kate were now starting to get nervous when their match against Scotland started to get closer. They needed to figure out how they were going to sneak away from Dumbledore for a couple of hours. The morning they left for Scotland Harry hid the marriage schedule in the inside pocket of his jacket.

They had been playing most of the day and they were still tied with Scotland, ninety to ninety. Harry was frantically searching for the snitch. He felt too nervous to actually be playing; he heard someone score and quickly looked down to see that his team was the one that had scored. They were ahead now.

Harry finally saw the snitch and caught it pretty easily. Everyone back at Hogwarts seemed to scream and jump with joy, they had made it. Hogwarts was in the Final.

The next day Dumbledore was about to head over to Harry and Kate when one of the Scottish teachers came over and led them away. Dumbledore seemed to want to say something, but he remained polite.

The teacher wanted to take them to see this new place in town, but Harry and Kate went into a busy market place. They soon lost him and went to get on a nearby bus.

They rode on the bus for nearly an hour before they made it to the town they needed to be in and they went and picked up a pair of rings in a local jewelry store. It was a good hour before they finally made it to the registrar's office.

Harry and Kate had all the paperwork they needed and gave them their marriage schedule. They had a civil ceremony and two witnesses were provided for them. Harry promised Kate that next year they would have a real wedding.

They said their vows and were pronounced husband and wife. Harry brought Kate to him and kissed his bride.

They signed the marriage certificate as well as the witnesses and it was filed right then and there with the registrar's office and a filed copy was given to Harry and Kate.

Harry and Kate made it back to town a little over an hour later; they didn't want to be gone too long. They didn't want Dumbledore to get even more worried than he probably already was at the moment.

Harry and Kate were sitting at a small cafe when he approached them and scolded them for running off from their teacher. That was apparently all he thought they had done because he didn't say anything further on the subject and sat down with them.

They arrived back at school and partook in the greatest party ever. The whole school was on a high. They were in the Final. Harry and Kate seemed to have been congratulated by every single student in the school, except for the Slytherins who were exceptionally quite.

Harry didn't like that. There was something going on and he didn't know what. Malfoy almost seemed surprised to see him back.

Harry and Kate thought that they might get a break from quidditch practice for a month seeing as how they didn't have to play anyone for two months, but they were wrong. Madame Hooch just thought that this gave them extra time to practice.

Harry and Kate started to breathe easier by mid April when they were for sure that their little get away hadn't been found out. They had been married for a month on the eleventh of April and they hadn't even been able to do anything to celebrate it.

Now it was the seventeenth and the rest of the school was inside watching the next quidditch match. Harry and Kate brought their food outside and sat down to eat alone under one of the large trees.

They were outside sitting on the lawn talking about Auror training after school was over when Ron and Hermoine came out. Ron told them that Russia had beaten France, who had won every came after losing to Hogwarts, so the next big game would be Russia against America and whoever won that game was who they would be playing against in the Final.

Soon Neville and Ginny joined them and told them that Malfoy and his gang got up during the middle of the game and left.

"Yeah, I wonder what he's up to." Ron said. Everyone just shrugged their shoulders, no one had any clue.

It was a bright and sunny day on the morning of the tenth of May. Everyone slowly came down to breakfast. Soon all the morning mail started arriving and Errol dropped in front of Ron almost knocking over his drink. Ron hastily took the letter from Errol. He opened the letter and when he finished reading he almost had an astonished look on his face.

"What is it?" Kate asked, wondering what could put that look on her cousin's face.

Ron handed the letter to Kate and everyone including Ginny and Neville leaned in.

"Let everyone know that Fleur had her baby early, and she delivered yesterday afternoon. She had a healthy baby boy. Bill and Fleur have named him Nicolas Guillaume Weasley. He has strawberry blond hair, can you believe that? Give everyone my love," Kate read.

"I'm an uncle!" Ron said.

Everyone smiled at him. It was a turning out to be a good morning.

Soon the match between Russia and America approached and Harry and Kate decided to watch this game. It was close to the end of May and the weather was starting to get warm. Everyone watched silently as the game started.

This was the first time Harry and Kate watched the game this way and they found it quite funny. They soon though, were into the game as any other.

The Russians had barely beaten the Americans. The Americans had been up one hundred and forty points, but the Russian seeker had caught the snitch first and won the game. So that was it, they were playing Russia in the Final.

Everyone weren't sure yet how to take the news, they hadn't played Russia before and they had beat America once already. Madame Hooch increased practices until a week before the N.E.W.T. finals were to be given, so the students could study as hard as possible.

The House team had taken their finals early so they were in the dining hall while the other students were taking theirs. The doors opened and everyone looked up to see many families coming in, soon Harry and Kate saw the Weasley clan.

Dumbledore explained to everyone that the families of the house team were going to be here with the other students so they could watch. Fred, George, and Charlie had come. Molly explained that Bill and Fleur had stayed behind, but they understood why. Molly started pulling out pictures of Nicolas.

While they were looking at pictures Professor Truman came in with a strange looking girl and took her to see Professor Dumbledore and then the three of them headed into the back room behind the dining hall. Harry and Kate looked at each other and wondered what was up.

Professor Dumbledore walked into the other room, "So Everett what is so important?"

"Headmaster, I believe this lady has something she needs to tell you." Everett Truman plainly stated.

Dumbledore looked closer at the young lady and then he recognized her. "You're Samantha, Mathilda's daughter aren't you?" Dumbledore asked.

She shook her head yes.

"We all thought you to be dead, what happened?" Dumbledore asked further.

"I was almost killed the night my mother was murdered, but I escaped through a secret passage in our house and I have remained hidden all these years, but I read the paper today and saw two names I remembered in a reading from my mother, the boy who defeated 'He who must not be named' and Kate Davison." Samantha said urgently.

Dumbledore let her continue.

Dumbledore came out of the room with a solemn look on his face, but he promptly gathered all the students from the house team to start their journey to Ireland.

After they left the other students started to come in for dinner. Ron and Ginny were surprised to see their family there. Ron and Hermoine went and sat down with Ron's family and Ginny brought Neville over and introduced him to her parents as her boyfriend.

The House Team arrived in Ireland and they were greeted by the Headmaster there. Even though Ireland was not playing they were happy to be hosting the event. The Irish school, Harry and Kate found out, was even smaller than France and Spain's.

Russia arrived not too long afterwards and the two teams were introduced to each other. They all proceeded to the small dining hall to eat dinner together.

Everyone back at Hogwarts was sitting in the dining hall. The Weasley family was all excited about the game. Soon the 'window' lit up and they were shown the field.

The game started off as usual, Kate scored their first goal. Soon Hogwarts was way ahead but Harry kept his eye out for the snitch and watched the Russian seeker as well, this was how they won the last game. They let the other team get so far ahead that they got cocky and then stole the win out from under them.

Hogwarts was up one hundred ten to forty and Harry and his opponent seemed to spot the snitch at the same time. They both dived for it; everyone else seemed to stop to watch them. The Russian seeker tried to throw him off balance by hitting him but Harry didn't budge, he was determined to get there first.

Harry's fingers slid over the snitch just as the other seeker grabbed for it too. Everyone cheered; the sound from the stands and back at Hogwarts was enough so that people wouldn't be able to hear for a week afterwards. Hogwarts had won the first ever International School Quidditch Competition.

All the attention was focused on Harry. Kate was standing in the background as Harry was hoisted onto people's shoulders. She almost didn't see the person that came up behind her.

Molly seemed to notice this on the screen and tried to yell at the people to help her, but of course the people there couldn't hear her.

They watched as Kate brought her foot down hard on her foe's toes and he released her for a second, he grabbed her arm and she swung around and hit him across the face with the palm of her free hand.

He wiped his platinum blond hair away from his face which was catching in the blood. He grabbed her hand and turned it over and smiled at the sight of her rings. Kate was about to scream for help when he held out his wand and stunned her. She fell to the ground out cold.

Harry looked for Kate and when he saw someone with familiar blond hair carrying her off the field, Harry made a run for it and followed. He made it out of the crowd rather easily and was stunned as he turned around the corner.

Two other death eaters picked him up and they walked off the school grounds and disapparated with them.

Dumbledore who had seen Harry run off the field tried to follow but he was too late, he got there just in time to see the death eaters disapparate with Harry and Kate.

Before Harry had left the field McGonagall has whispered something to the screen and it seemed to follow Harry and Kate as they were deposited into a dungeon room and left there for a while, until they regained consciousness.
