CHAPTER TWO- The Reason Behind the Pain

Kathryn said good-bye to her parents and Apperated to Platform 9 3/4. She sighed as she looked at the Hogwarts Express. She walked up and handed the conductor her ticket.

"Ah, I don't think I have seen you before" he said while looking her up and down "And your a little big to be a first year ... hmmmm ... Are you changing schools?"


She nodded and smiled as he helped her load her trunk onto the train. He waved good-bye to her.


"Have a good year Miss!" he yelled as she walked down the isle to find an unoccupied compartment.


"Thank you Sir" she waved back. "I most certainly will" Kathryn whispered to herself.


She looked in on a compartment that was empty and loaded her things into it. She sat down next to the window and looked out. A tear streaked down her cheek as she tried to forget what had happened.


Her parents had told her two years ago that Harry Potter and his friends in a secret organization under Dumbledore's command had killed many Death Eaters in the Department of Mysteries. Her two best friends among them.


She had never followed Voldemort, she had never planned to. One of her best friends was a half-blood witch and she could care less. Her parents disapproved of course. They said that her destiny was to become a Death Eater like everyone in their family had become. She didn't believe them until that day.


Her sister's words echoed in her ears.


I must go and join Voldemort Kat. Now that I have come of age it is my duty as a Purleaz. 


But why sister? Can you not see that he is not right?


He is right though. And when you are older you will realize that. You will serve him one day as I am. I shall see you soon my sister, my friend.


No you won't! I don't like Death Eaters even if they are my own kin. I hate you for your decision! I never want to see you again.


If only you understood.


I do understand! He is evil and I hate you as much as I hate him!


Those were the last words she had said to her sister before they were killed. Now she regretted them of course, but that day, that horrible day still played in her mind every second. The day that her sister and practically her brother were taken from this world.


Kathryn would never be able to take back those cruel words, but she could avenge their deaths. She still did not follow Voldemort, but he had come up with the way to avenge her friends deaths, and for that she were grateful. She remembered her sister's happy face on the day of her wedding. She shook her head and clenched her fist as more tears came.


Just then a witch opened the compartment door.


"Anything from th ... Dear? Are you okay?" she asked.


Kathryn wiped away the tears from her face. 


"Yes, I'm sorry. I guess I'm just a little homesick" she answered.


"Oh, I'm sorry. But don't worry. You'll feel better once you get to Hogwarts" she still looked concerned, but let it go "Anything from the trolly dear?"


Kathryn nodded and got some Pumpkin Pastries and a butterbeer, then handed her a few silver sickles.


"I hope you feel better dear" she smiled and closed the door.


Just as she sat down there was a knock on the door and she went to open it. It was three people, two boys, and a girl. The girl had extremely bushy brown hair, one of the boys had red hair, freckles, and a long nose. She raised an eyebrow as she looked at the other one. 


He was cute, but she got an odd feeling about him. He had messy black hair and glasses. The glasses did nothing to take away from his looks though. Kathryn looked closer at his forehead. Something was partly hidden by his hair. What is that? Huh? It's a lightning scar! He's the one I have to kill ... he's ..

"Can we join you?" said the girl "Everywhere else is full."


Kathryn looked at her and nodded and walked back to her seat. This is Perfect. She thought. This way I can get close to him. I couldn't have planned it better myself. She smiled inside. They sat down around her, the girl in front of her, the boy with red hair beside the girl, and the other next to Kathryn. She smiled at them.

"I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron Weasley" she said pointing to the boy sitting next to her "and this" she said motioning towards the boy sitting next to Kathryn "is Harry Potter."


"I'm Kathryn, but you can call me Kat" she smiled at them.


Kathryn's heart ached as she looked at Harry. This boy sitting next to her was The-Boy-Who-Lived. The boy who had killed her best friends. He didn't look like he was a murderer. Not at all. In fact she found him quite handsome. What are you thinking? This boy is the reason why your life is messed up! She thought to herself. She looked away from him, opened her butterbeer and took a swig.


"Would you like a Pumpkin Pastry?" she asked them holding them out.

"Sure" they said in unison and reached for one.


"Would you like a Cauldron Cake?" Hermione asked her.


She nodded, took one, and thanked her. For the next hour they all played a rather enjoyable game of Exploding Snap. Kathryn got so absorbed in the game that she almost forgot that these were people that she should loath. For some reason she thought of them as her friends. At least for now.


It was dark outside. Kathryn loved night. She felt so free around this time.


"Kat? Are you okay?"


Kathryn looked over and saw that it was Harry that spoke. He looked worried. He is so kind. How can this be the one that killed my sister? She nodded.


"Sorry, I just love the night. It's so peaceful. Wow! Look! I think I see the castle!"


She pressed her face against the glass and smiled. It was beautiful. They all laughed at her face. Kathryn turned around and smiled at them. God, they are so unaware that the person who's going to kill The-Boy-Who-Lived is in their presence. Perfect.
