OMG this can't be happening. I've worked so hard to ignore them, and now… I stood up and put on a fake smile giving them all a small hug. I sat back down with Oliver on one side and Angelina on the other side of me. The rest of the interview was full of me trying not to touch Ang or Oliver and lots of short answers. When light that told us we we're on air went off I jumped up from the couch, grabbed my bag and coat that was sitting backstage before walking briskly to the exit to catch a cab.
"Katie!"
"Kat!"
I could hear them behind me but I just kept going, what do I say to them. I ran away from them and all of my troubles. I jumped in the first cab that stopped, mumbled the address to the driver as I closed my door.
A few minutes later, we pulled up in front of the Leaky Cauldron, I paid he driver and ran up to my room. When I got to my room, lieing on my bed was a copy of witch weekly. On the cover was a picture of me from earlier today. Right above my head was a the headline " Top 10 Hottest Female Quidditch Players this Year". I flipped to the page where the article was and there I was a picture of me from this afternoon. I was first which was completely astounding. I wasn't at all shocked to see Angelina second, she had always been pretty.
I dropped the magazine, flopped back on to my bed and slowly drifted off too sleep.
I woke up at 5:30 to someone knocking at my door. I stumbled over to the door while rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. I opened the door sleepily and immediately regretted it. I tried to close the door but two feet stopped me.
"Kitty-Kat you can't get away from us that easily," George said as they pried open the door. I walked away from the door and sat back down on my bed. George sat down on one side of me and Ron on the other.
"Katie you know we really missed you don't leave again we were worried about you." Ron said. And that's when I lost it sobs racked my body I brought my knees to my chest and just let the tears flow. I didn't know how long I had been crying for only that Ron and George were holding me the whole time . eventually I dried my eyes, they looked at her expectantly. She gave them each a hug before standing up.
"How about I take you both out to dinner I'll explain what's been going on." They nodded and then followed me out the door. We sat at a secluded table and ordered our food. I started explaining from the beginning.
I start with my brother Simon, and moved on to everything that happened at Hogwarts. The Battle and seeing everyone fighting and dieing. How I fled to Canada, how I found the team and how they are starting to help me. I finally finished by telling them about the last few days. When I was done I looked at them. They sat there stunned.
"Katie why didn't you say anything we could have helped you?", George said grabbing my hand.
"I know I was just scared I didn't think you guys would treat me the same I thought that you guys we think I was fragile." Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.
"If anything we would have thought the opposite that you were stronger than any of us could ever have imagined" Ron whispered.
"What are you going to do about everyone else you can't run form them forever?"
I shook my head, "I don't know. What will they think? That I've been lieing to them that I'm not the person they know. I don't think I can"
"You can they won't think of you any different. I'm throwing an engagement party for Harry and Ginny why don't you stop by and see everyone. I know they really want to see you." Ron announced.
"Who will be there?" I asked curiously.
"Everyone" George answered, "And I've decided you're coming so you're coming." They rose from the table, dropped 3 galleons on the table. Just before they walked out George told me to arrive at the Burrow at 6 o'clock and not a second later and then they were gone. I slowly climbed the stairs back up to my room. Tomorrow was going to be a long day, first a match against Bulgaria and then the party. I don't know which one I'm more nervous for.
