Hogwarts Express... 9 months later.
Katherine entered the train somewhat slowly; she was greeting an old place she hadn't seen in a while - like someone who was looking if anything had changed while they were gone. Curious blue eyes surveyed the inside of the vehicle, she did miss two journeys she normally should have done, after all.
'One single mistake, and you'll never return back to that school, you hear me? Don't. You. Dare.'
She had momentarily forgotten her lovely mother's last words, hissed inside her ear while they were faking a farewell kiss ceremony; but the act of looking for a nonexistant change could distract her for only so long. The words started ringing in her mind again. Her mother's expression was hard to forget too, and her father - hopeless as he had always been. Katherine felt that her cheeks were burning in anger and hatred with fresh tears blurring her sight. She had grown used to this over the last eight months and had only cried once about it, but this was different. Even though she knew she really shouldn't make something her mother would see as a mistake, the fact that it was said out loud by her mother made it real. She either behaved, or she was never returning back to this world.
The thought of Daxton crossed her mind briefly, but she knew how to push that aside. Instead, she entered the first compartment she found (conveniently only the second compartment after the prefects' in case someone annoyed her), and threw her small luggage on the opposite seat, not bothering to put it away; then plopped down herself.
'Don't. You. Dare. You hear me? Don't you...'
She knew her mother was watching her, so she got up, closed the compartment door and got out the book Professor Hirsch had given her, although it was the fourth time she was reading it.
