Each step that I took intensified the feelings inside me. I was mainly really angry with myself because I let this happen. Draco had to get the Remembral and Harry had to go fetch it. My head fell.
"Are you sure you're okay, Katie?" Harry asks. Ron was not allowed to come with us.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I reply, not really wanting to talk.
"Do you know where Dumbledore's office is?" Harry asks. I forgot that he didn't know where it was. He was really just following me.
"Yeah, but it takes a password to get in, so I'll need you to leave and go back to Ron." I say as we turn the corner. We see the entrance and I turn to Harry. "Now, you must go. I will see you later, I promise. Oh, and you have to tell me what their punishment was."
Harry smiles and then quickly frowns. "Okay." He hesitates and then quickly kisses my cheek before he turns around and leaves.
I let out a sigh. It's not that I wanted him to go, it's just that I didn't want for him to hear what we were talking about. "Balaur." I speak quietly. The door opens and I quickly climb the steps.
"Why, hello Katie." I hear a cheery voice say. "I wasn't expecting you. Please, take a seat."
"Professor," was all I was able to say before I broke out in tears.
"Katie? What's wrong dear?" Dumbledore asks.
"I messed up the-the story!" I sob. He hands me a handkerchief and I blow my nose into it.
"How did you mess it up?" He asks.
"Harry was supposed to be seeker but I ruined that chance for him!"
"I'm sure Harry was not supposed to be seeker; first years are not allowed on the Quidditch team."
"NO!" I yell. Now I am furious. I cannot believe that Dumbledore, of all people, would not see this as a huge problem. Harry needs to be able to catch small flying objects while on a broom! He needs to do that in the room with all the keys! I growl.
"Now, I am sure if you talked to Professor McGonagall about it, she might understand. I've never been a huge fan of Quidditch team myself." I smile at his words.
"Neither have I professor." I say before I race down the stairs to find the Head of the Gryffindor House.
…
I find Professor McGonagall in her office in her classroom. I knock at the threshold and then enter.
She looks up at me. "Katie, can I help you?"
"I don't know really." I reply. "I just talked to the Headmaster and he said to come talk to you."
"What did he say to talk to me about?"
"The seeker for Quidditch." I say. When I see her face I add, "You don't have one do you? I think Harry would make a good Quidditch player, after all, his father was the seeker and captain of the team."
"We-we cannot judge people by their parentage." She stumbles
"But Harry would make a good seeker! Just give him a chance; watch him when he plays. Please Professor, we might actually win this year."
She hesitates and stands still for a good few minutes. "Fine. I'll watch him during flying lessons. I'll see to Madame Hooch doing dives and flying around campus. Then we'll see."
"Oh, thank you Professor." I run to her and place my arms around her. She stiffens and gives me a small pat on the back before sending me off.
HARRY'S PERSPECTIVE!
"Why does she need to talk to Dumbledore?" Ron asks right when I get back.
"I don't know." I reply.
"You guys are truly idiots." Ron and I turn around to see Hermione.
"Can people ever get privacy!" Yells Ron.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"She went to confess about Malfoy." She replies. "She is telling him that she started it."
"Now why would she do that?" Ron asks forcefully.
"Because guilt obviously rules her life. I mean, she can't take a single step without feeling guilty for the stepping on the ground."
"That's not true!" I yell. Ron is the only thing holding me back from attacking her.
"Well, it is. So get it into your head." She says as she walks away.
I slump to the ground. "Harry? Harry!" The world goes black.
KATIE'S PERSPECTIVE!
On the way to the common room, people all around me are whispering. I see Seamus Finnigan and pull him over to ask what's going on.
"Seamus?" I ask quietly. "Did something happen when I went to Dumbledore?"
He looked at me in shock. "Potter passed out as soon as he got back from walking you there."
"Where is he now?" I ask. My voice is filled with concern.
"In the hospital wing. He hasn't woken up yet, but when he does, I think he might want to see you."
"Why do you say that?" I ask. I'm not quite sure whether I should be offended.
"Because… Just go see him!" He says forcefully and I get the message.
I turn around and run straight to the hospital wing to find Harry.
Readers! Hehehe! I give you one cliff hanger in one chapter, get that one taken care of in the next, and in that same chapter give you another cliff hanger! Hehehe! You may call me pure evil. Before I forget, just because McGonagall is watching him, doesn't mean he's on the team. FYI. I just have one question…
Why do you think Harry passed out? And, is he really passed out?
