As we turn around the corner I lean my head in the window and let some tears slide down my cheek. As the city lights of London flashed by I replayed all my fondest memories on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, winning the Quidditch cup, Celebrating all night after, winning it again with Ginny and getting welcomed back on the team for the last game even though I just got out of St .Mungo's. When we pull up at the Leaky Cauldron, I quickly thank the driver and walk in side. As I walk inside I order a hot chocolate and a piece of cake. They promise to bring it up to my room so I walk up the stairs and down the hall to my room. It's eerie quite because everyone is at the Ball. I took off my dress and put on my roots sweatpants and my Gryffindor shirt . I curl up on my bed and turn on the muggle TV. 2 minutes later there was a knock on my door.
"It's open" I yell.
Tom walks in carrying a tray and he puts it on the bedside table before leaving. I take a sip of ht ehot chocolate and I am hit by a memory.
It was her fourth year after they had lost to Hufflepuff. She had gone to visit Harry in the hospital wing but left shortly after they found out he would be ok. She walked through the rain with her broom in her hand. She got to the Quidditch pitch and mounted her broom. She kicked off into the rainy night. She just sat in the air by the hoops. It was all her fault if she had just looked out for Harry she should of done something. It was just like her brother, Simon, If she had just stopped him from playing Quidditch that one day then maybe he would still be here today. Tears started slipping down her cheeks Harry reminded her so much of Simone He was the only real family she had left. When she saw Harry in the hospital wing it was so hard not to remember Simon. No one at school knew about Simon. She sat there thinking about Simon while the rain soaked threw her Quidditch robes. She summond a quaffle and started throwing threw the hoops. After a while the rain came down to hard for her to see she flew around cautiously until she found the hoops. She carefully guided herself to the ground. She walked through the field. She walked round for 5 minutes before she found the exit. She walked up to the castle dripping wet. As soon as she opened the doors she was greeted by a frantic Oliver.
"Katie where have you been! We've been looking all over for you! I… I mean we have been so nervous." He said giving me a hug but pulling away almost immediately. "Katie your soaked aren't you freezing!?"
She only gave a small nod before Oliver wrapped an arm around her shoulder and escorted her to the Kitchens. Once in the Kitchens the House Elves brought her a change of warm clothes and made her a hot chocolate. Once she was changed Oliver wrapped a protective arm around her shoulder as the y walked to the Common Room. They sat in front of the fire for hours just talking and she couldn't help but notice that he kept his arm round her the whole time.
Tears had started sliding down her cheeks again. She quickly wiped them away. She went and sat in the window seat to finish her hot chocolate and nibble on her cake. The rain was still coming down heavily. It wasn't that late yet so she decided to take a walk around Diagon Alley. She stepped out into the cool night air at the entrance to Diagon Alley. She watched as the stones began to move and form an archway. I walked along until I found Rosa Lee Teabag. I sat down with a cup of tea and a biscuit and just watched people walk past the shop. I've always loved this shop every time I was in Hogsmeade or in Diagon Alley I always stopped in for a visit.
At about 11:30 they had to close the shop so I said goodbye. I put my hood up so I could take my time walking back. I walked past Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, I saw Angelina and George in the window talking to Oliver and Lee. They seemed to be talking about something important because they were using their hands a lot. Oliver looked very frustrated and Lee was very frantic. Angelina was biting her nails and leaning into George who had a protective arm wrapped her waist. Alicia walked into the room a second later and gave Lee a kiss on the cheek. I kept walking until I reached the arch. I see the shole team sitting at a table talking rather loudly.
"Where is she?"
"What if she's hurt?"
"Guys relax I'm fine" I say walking up to the table.
"Are you sure?" Matthew said standing up.
"Yes I'm fine I just needed some time alone, I didn't expect to see them there. "I said trying not to let my voice crack. " I'm just gonna go to bed now so I'll see you guys in the morning."I said with a wave.
"Don't forget we have a game at 10am" George said as I made my way up the stairs.
I changed into some pink shorts and a black tank top before brushing my teeth. I stared at myself in the mirror. I've changed so much I bleached the tips of my hair lost some wait and I grew up. I've changed a lot since Hogwarts. The war has left so many scars on my life and the curse isn't completely gone it will never be completely gone either. Some days I can't go to practice because the curse makes it hurt to do everything. The only one who knows is George and I don't think I'm ready for anyone else to know yet maybe never.
