Great just great, what a crappy day, after changing about 10 times trying to decide what to wear and taking the portkey to Kings Cross I noticed that I forgot one of my trunks at home. Fantastic. I had to go back, run the 3 flights of stairs that led to my room, grab my trunk all while hearing Tinky's, the house elf, squeals and shouts as she realized the time it was and that I was going to be late to my first day back at Hogwarts. And of course I missed the train. Bloody fantastic, I think I'm the first prefect ever to miss the train.
She was sitting on the Ravenclaw Table at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She had been late for the sorting, Dumbledore's speech, and halfway of the feast. Her entrance at the Great Hall had been embarrassing to say the least.
She had flown to Hogwarts, and when she was trying to land on the ground with her broom she lost control and ended up crashing in a nearby bush. Filch had then taken her to the Great Hall and when she was walking to take her usual seat at the Ravenclaw table where her friend was waiting for her she could feel everyone staring at her, she was not wearing Hogwarts robes and had twigs in her hair. She was so self conscious and nervous that she tripped on her way to the table and fell flat on her face in front of the whole school. Everyone, including the Ravenclaws were laughing, but she got up and sat in her seat acting as if nothing had happened.
''What in Rowena's name happened to you Kat? You look horrible!'' Said her best friend, Claire.
''Long story. What did I miss?''
''Not much really, a few first years making Ravenclaw, Dumbledore talking about being careful and dangerous times and all that and that Slytherin, Regulus Black, looking for you.'' She said while pointing at the Slytherin table in front of us.
Kat looked up and saw Regulus sitting with his Slytherin buddies in his immaculate robes and his usual smirk. Just as she was staring at him he looked up and saw her. Not knowing what to do she gave an awkward wave and continued eating trying not to look at the Slytherin table again.
As she was going to get up from her table and turned to leave she bumped into someone. She turned to look into the grey and blue eyes of Regulus Black. He was the epitome of Slytherin; pitch-black hair, flawless skin and hair, perfect posture, mysterious smirk and amazing eyes.
''Hello''He said awkwardly as he waved a hand in front of my face, that was enough to get me out of my day dream.
Shit I've been staring at him. ''Err.. hello'' she stammered. ''My name is Katherine, Katherine MacDougal.'' She tried to say elegantly as she held out her hand just as her mother had taught her.
''Regulus Black, enchanté '' He said elegantly as he shook her hand, giving a slight bow. ''Just wanted to tell you that you missed the first Prefect meeting and we are partners.''
