Hello hello hello. i am your beloved, Kathy Caldron. you see, ever since I started Kathy's Return, no one replied, and sadly, I stopped it out of pure sadness. But today, as I finally checked my story for no reason, I saw that a couple people had actually replied. I nearly cried with happiness! So here I am again, reposting my story, and hopefully this time I will learn to keep posting no matter what.

Prologue

'Wake up girl. It's time to start planning.' a voice angrily demanded. The girl got up, and looked around the small room.

'Where am I?' She looked around the room and noticed that she was placed in a rundown bedroom, and the mattress she was laying on was old and greying. A dusty blanket covered her, and she lay on an extremely dusty and old four-poster bed.

'You're in my house, now get ready.' He paced around in the room, and walked over to the fireplace even though there was no fire.

'Why?' she asked, raking her mind for the man's identity, but she found nothing.

'You ask too many questions girl now get ready!' He walked quickly over to her and slapped her roughly across the face. Her neck snapped to the side and a memory flashed through her mind. She remembered who she was, where she was, and who he was. She also remembered when a similar incident happened, about 4 years ago.

'You!' she yelled, getting up quickly. 'You're Peter Pettigrew! But how - How -'

'I brought you back, and now you belong to me.' Peter sneered, taking out a wand. Her wand.

'I don't belong to anyone.' she snarled at him, jumping onto the floor.

'Oh yes you do. With this spell, if you betray me, you die, slowly and painfully.' He smiled cruelly, and muttered a spell. A bright green light shot out of the end of the girl's wand and hit her, causing her to shot back on the bed, her head thumping in pain. She groaned, and just managed to get up long enough to fall back down on the floor, dust collecting on her clothes. 'So, are you going to help me?'

'Yes.' she whispered, gently touching the mark on her face. 'I'll help you.' She let a tear roll down her cheek as she felt herself bow down before her new owner. She felt as if she was a dog, begging for a treat, when she was a girl of 17, begging for her life. She looked up, and spoke.

'Why am I to get ready?'

'Because, we're going to bring back another, and this time, he won't be leaving.' Peter threw back his head and laughed evilly. 'Put on this robe, and brush your hair. We're leaving soon.' He laughed again and walked out. The girl picked up the long robe hanging off of a ladder leading to a small landing just above the bed. She held the material close to her, and recognized it as her old Hogwarts uniform. She cried and fell to the floor, never wanting to get up.

'Hurry!' Peter called from downstairs.

'I'm coming!' The girl shouted, trying to keep her voice straight. 'Oh Kathy,' she sobbed to herself. 'What've you done?' She cried as she changed, and walked with Peter out of the Shrieking Shack, and over to the Ministry of Magic, where their person was last seen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione Granger woke up early that cold December morning. She opened the window in her dormitory and breathed in the air. She smiled, got dressed, and reread the note she had written the night before.

'Dear-'

'Hey Hermione.' Lavender Brown said, stifling a yawn. 'What're you doing up so early?'

Hermione snatched up her watch.

'Oh not again.' she grumbled. It was only 6:30 a.m. This was not the first time she had done this.

Lavender giggled absent mindedly, practicaly still asleep. 'What was that? Oh I would love to go out with you-'

'Lavender!' Hermione whispered. Lavender giggled once more, then fell back down in her bed, fast asleep. Hermione drew her attention back to the note. But before she could put it away, she fell to the floor, asleep as well, clutching the letter to her crush.

blueice · 04-16-2005, 06:38 PM

very cool keep it up i love it!

Kathy Caldron · 04-23-2005, 07:05 PM

Yeah! Another post! This is so brightening up my day! Here's the next para!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Hermione? Hermione?' A distant voice was calling her. She reached out, smiling, waiting for the embrace of a hug. All she got, was a loud roar of laughter. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked around the room, her eye sight a bit foggy. She tried to get up.

'Oh don't try it. You'll just make us laugh more.' Hermione recognized the voice.

'Ron? Harry? How did you get in here?' Hermione asked. Ron Weasley helped her up.

'We've finally found a way.' He grinned, then directed her to the doorway. 'You know how the staircase turns to a slide when boys try to get in here?' Hermione nodded. 'Well, that's where we come in.' They slid down the staircase slide and into the Common Room. 'For centuries, boys have always attempted to enter the girls' dormitory. All have failed. Until now.' Ron said dramatically. Hermione looked at Harry Potter, who rolled his eyes. She giggled. Ron was acting like he had discovered a cure for the common cold.

'Ok I think I've heard enough from you Ron.' Hermione said. He looked disappointed. 'Harry? How did you do it?'

'It was simple really. All we did was conjure up a banister, then we climbed up.'

'Well you make it sound simple when you say it. When actually it took a lot of research and knowledge for that spell.' Ron said, staring into space heroically.

'Oh Ron,' Hermione kissed him on the cheek. 'I never thought you had it in you.'

'Had what?' he asked excitedly.

'Acting. You're really good at it. Maybe you should start a drama club on your spare time.' Hermione said sweetly. Harry laughed and hit Ron on the back.

'Aawww! Burn!' Harry laughed.

'Huh?' Ron asked confused.

'It's a Muggle term.' Harry said simply.

Hermione laughed. She knew it was going to be a good day. What she had not known, was that she had left the letter lying on the floor.

TeganWR · 05-01-2005, 01:10 AM

I loved it, it was cute. I'll be looking for more...pams!

Kathy Caldron · 05-04-2005, 11:17 PM

Thanks. Every reply means the world to me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The trio headed for their last class: Potions. Draco Malfoy was sitting by himself that day, the others as far away from him as possible. They looked at him and sneered angrily.

'Now I know how Potter feels.' Draco grumbled. He pulled out a crumpled up piece of paper, read it over once or twice, then put it back in his bag. 'Oh no.'

Harry, Ron, and Hermione sulked into the dungeon classroom. Harry and Ron took one look at the two empty seats, then at the empty seat next to Draco. They ran for the two seats, leaving Hermione alone.

'Oh you guys!' Hermione whined. She glanced at Draco. She noticed he had been staring at her with a strange look on his face. He caught her glance and looked down at his blank sheet of parchment. He dipped his quill into his ink and started writing furiously. Hermione groaned, and sat down next to him. They were both blushing slightly.

'Everyone settle down, and prepare to make the most difficult potion there is. Now that you all are in your 7th and final year, I believe you finally are all smart enough to make it.' Professor Severus Snape said in a harsh voice. Hermione scowled.

'What are you so angry about?' Draco whispered to her.

'Its - Nothing.' she answered. 'What are you so angry about?' She didn't whisper as harsh as Draco, even though she meant to.

'I'm not angry.' This time Draco didn't even bother to sound mean. He sounded a bit upset, like he had lost someone dear to him.

'What's wrong?' Hermione whispered. She moved closer so she could hear his reply.

'Nothing's wrong now can you move over? People are looking.' Draco tried to push her away.

'C'mon Draco, I know there must be something wrong.' Hermione insisted. Snape, meanwhile, was telling the rest of the class about that day's potion.

'There's nothing wrong and don't call me Draco!' he said, his voice rising. Snape stopped, and faced the two.

'Well well. What do we have here? Malfoy and Granger, an unexpected couple indeed. You haven't been paying attention I can see the confused look on you face Granger. For once. You two will have lots of time to chat about your nicknames in detention. 6:00 to 9:00 tonight. You will be cleaning out the potion jars and cauldrons. Now pay attention. Oh and by the way, 50 points shall be taken from your Houses.' Snape sneered. He continued on with the class as Hermione and Draco grumbled to themselves.

'I guess it turned out to be a bad day after all.' Hermione thought angrily. She looked to Draco. He was holding a crumpled up piece of parchment. The words: 'Dear Hermi -' were showing. Hermione looked up quickly, trying to forget what she saw. She quickly started on her potion.

Kathy Caldron · 05-11-2005, 08:26 PM

Alright then. Replies are stoppibng. Losing confidence. But I will still continue to reply, even the replies top again. So here's the next paragraph.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Hermione and Draco stood in detention that night, Hermione puzzled about the parchment Draco was holding earlier on.

'Um, Mal-' she started.

'Don't talk to me.' he sneered. He rubbed off some old potion ingredients from a jar, and almost broke it as he slammed it down on his desk. He sighed, then faced Hermione. 'I'm sorry.' he muttered. 'But everything’s been so rough for me lately, and now my friends have cast me out, and -' He stopped, and stared her straight in the eye. Hermione saw tears forming in his eyes. He started crying. Hermione slowly moved closer. She wrapped her arms around him, and they embraced in a hug. Hermione felt tears come to her eyes. Then, suddenly, Draco kissed her. She didn't move at first, then she kissed him back. Neither of them noticed Ron enter the room, see them, and leave with a broken heart. Hermione heard footsteps and looked up just in time to see Ron exit the room. She sprung up and greatly regretted what she had done. She ran to her dormitory, not looking back. She never wanted to see anyone again. She never wanted to leave her dormitory. She jumped on her bed, and lay there, crying.

TeganWR · 05-11-2005, 09:54 PM

Aw poor Ron! I loved it, more please!

Kathy Caldron · 05-14-2005, 08:54 PM

Thank you for posting! Every reply counts in my book, and that last one just made my day! Here's more, as requested.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ron couldn't believe what he was seeing. I mean, he knew what he was seeing, but he didn't know how it could've happened. They had always been enemies as soon as they had met, and now -. Ron turned around and left, the image of Hermione and Draco kissing lingering fresh in his mind. He felt someone run past him, and felt the softness of curly brown hair against his face. He stopped as Hermione rounded the corner, running as fast as she could. He raced after her, running past others, bumping into people. He followed her back to the Gryffinder Common Room. Until she ran up her dormitory stairs he stopped, and noticed the banister was gone. He swore under his breath as he tried to remember the spell for it to return. He remembered, said it, and the banister reappeared. Ron grabbed hold, and climbed up the now stone slide with great difficulty. He heard the shuffling of feet, then the squeak of a window open. He climbed faster.

Once he reached the room, Ron burst in, searching for Hermione. There was no sign of her in her bed, or anywhere else in the room. Then the open window caught his attention. A couple strands of Hermione's hair were stuck on the window sill, and a tear from her uniform was stuck in between the hinges. Ron nearly fell to the floor. Hermione had jumped out of the dormitory tower window. Ron sank to Hermione's bed, tears coming to his eyes. He looked around the room for something to prove his theory wrong, but there was no sign of life in that cold room. Nothing, except for a letter lying on the floor. Ron walked over and picked it up. He read it to himself, and felt his heart almost stop.

'Dear Ron,

I know that we always fight, and it would seem that we even hate each other sometime or another, but its not true. I have loved you Ron, ever since our first year here, but I just never had the guts to tell you. So I wrote this letter to you, explaining my feelings. I do hope that you don't think that I'm weird, or even mental as you say I am, and that you love me back. Please tell me how you feel when we're alone, and promise that you'll never leave me.

Love, Hermione.'

Kathy Caldron · 05-19-2005, 11:33 PM

So... Kinda getting lonely over here, but, as I said, I will continue to post no matter what, so here's more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

Hermione worriedly sprang up from her bed and looked at the door. The banister Ron and Harry had used had reappeared out of no where, and she looked for a place to hide. She knew she had passed Ron as she ran here, and she figured it was him trying to enter her dormitory. She ran to the nearest window. She knew what she had to do. She stuck her head out, looked down, and got ready to jump. She heard Ron hurry, he was almost there. Hermione drew back her head quickly, some of her robe catching on the window hinge. As she tried to get uncaught, a couple strands of hair caught as well. She yanked on her robe as hard as she could, and fell back. She saw the piece of material still stuck in the window, and then rubbed her head where she had lost her hair strands.

Ron was nearly there, and Hermione dove under Lavender's bed, trying to hide. Ron entered and ran to the open window. Hermione shivered under the bed. Ron slowly sat down. Tears glittered in his eyes.

'He thinks I actually jumped.' Hermione thought. She watched as Ron sat on Hermione's bed and wept. He searched the room for any sign of his friend, but found nothing. Until he saw the note. Hermione watched in horror as Ron picked up the note and read it in an almost quiet voice. She saw the shock on his face as he read, the sadness as he knew that he would never be able to talk to her again. He crumpled up the note and chucked it.

'Why didn't you just tell me Hermione?' Ron asked suddenly. 'Because I always felt the same way about you.' A tear fell to the floor and he left.

Hermione crawled out from under the bed. She picked up her note and placed it into her trunk. Then she pulled out her wand. She conjured up some snow and placed it over her, to make it look like she had been outside. She waited until the banister vanished again, and that stairs were back to normal before she walked back down. She walked with a fake limp to make it more convincing. She walked by several people, all of them looking at her and whispering. Then she walked up to Ron. He was sitting alone in front of the fire. Tears were streaming down his face.

'Hi.' Hermione mumbled, trying to sound hurt. Ron looked at her in disbelief. Then he hugged her with all his might. Tears fell onto Hermione's snow wet robes. She pulled him closer, never wanting to let go.

'I'm sorry I hurt you Ron.' Hermione said. 'Malfoy was just upset, and I wanted to help him. There's nothing between me and him.'

'You seemed to enjoy it.' Ron said silently.

'It's a first kiss, even it was Malfoy. Girls are like that.' Hermione blushed.

'I uh, read your letter, to me.' Ron muttered after a while.

Hermione turned away, embarrassed.

Ron turned her back to him. 'Don't be ashamed. I uh, started a letter to you too, a while back, but it was stupid. At least yours made sense.' Ron said, trying to sound cheerful.

'I would've managed.' Hermione said with a smile. 'I love you Ron.'

'I love you too.' Ron answered.

They faced each other, and slowly, they kissed.

Kathy Caldron · 05-27-2005, 05:07 PM

Ahem, well, it's, ah, kinda gettin' discouraging. But I promised that I would keep posying no matter what, so here's more, for whoever reads it. <

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

As Draco remained in the Potions classroom alone, he felt a bit guilty. Everyone had known that Hermione and Ron would be a possible couple, especially after Kathy Potter had died, even though they had denied it for quite some time now, and they fought on a regular basis, but Draco could still see they sadness in Hermione's eyes as she had run from the room. He cleaned off another jar and set it on the table. Then he took out the letter he had written earlier.

'Dear Hermione,

I know we've been enemies ever since day one, and that we would do anything to make sure that each other's life was miserable, but now that's all changed. Since the beginning of this year, I finally realized how pretty you looked while you were angry, and how beautiful you looked when you stared at me with those brown eyes of yours. Now you probably know where this is going, but I'll tell you anyway. I love you Hermione, even if it took me 7 years to realize it, I love you. Please don't hate me, which you probably will, and please don't tell anyone about this note, or I will be forced to make sure that you never speak again. You're probably thinking, "Now that's the evil Malfoy I know," right now, but I don't want anyone else to know. My friends know, and you saw the way they were treating me today. Imagine what they'll say when others know as well. I'm just doing this for the sake of your reputation, which is a good one I might add. Please send me back a reply about how you actually feel about me soon.

Draco Malfoy.'

TeganWR · 05-30-2005, 12:30 AM

PAMS! Love it so far, it totally rocks, sorry I haven't posted in awhile...

Kathy Caldron · 06-13-2005, 05:54 PM

Thank you so much for replying! My goodness, I was afriad tha- oh nevermind. lol, let's just say that I worry alot.

Anywho, I posted the next paragragh already, but my computer decided to freeze so I have to post it again as soon as I get home. By the way, I'm at school right now so I can't post. Anyway, thanks again for posting! Every reply means the world to this ff writer!

Kathy Caldron · 06-13-2005, 11:24 PM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione and Ron sat together in front of the fire. Hermione was shivering because of the snow, and was about ready to grab an extra 3 blankets to wrap around herself. Ron, on the other hand, was warm, and was willing to move back to the couches, but he stayed with his new girlfriend. He remembered Kathy Potter, Harry's sister and Ron's late girlfriend. He shifted this way and that, trying to get comfy on the stone floor. Hermione sensed Ron's discomfort, and asked him -

'What's wrong?'

'It's nothing. I was just thinking about -' He trailed off, staring at the fire. 'The fire's the color of her hair.' he whispered.

'You're thinking about Kathy aren’t you?' Hermione asked in an almost silent voice.

'Yeah.' Ron muttered. 'I know I shouldn't be, now that you and I are together, by it's just so hard to forget.' He turned away. Hermione hugged him.

'It's alright Ron. We all miss her.'

'Probably not as much as Harry. First his parents, and now Kathy. Sirius is all he has left, and he's still in hiding now that he's back. ` But what if it's one of us next? What if it's him? What if it's Harry?' Ron asked worriedly.

'Ron don't talk like that. You know Voldemort's dead. And all of his followers have either moved on or are in jail. There’s no way that Voldemort can come back.' Hermione reassured him.

'But he already did it once. He could do it again. Pettigrew's still out there you know.'

'I know.'

Hermione shivered. It had been Peter who had killed Kathy, and the moment still remained glued in Hermione's mind...

'Harry don't leave!' begged Kathy as Harry headed for the door. 'You heard what the Daily Prophet said! Voldemort, Peter, and a Death Eater are hiding somewhere in the Department of Mysteries! Please don't go! I don't want to lose you too!' Tears came to Kathy's eyes.

'And you heard all the lies the Daily Prophet has been saying me for the last couple years! Voldemort and them are not hiding in the Ministry of Magic and I'm going to get Sirius and no one's going to stop me!' Harry mounted his Firebolt and flew off into the quickly darkening night. Kathy ran off to get Ron and Hermione.

'Guys!' Kathy shouted as she burst into the Griffindor Common Room. 'Harry left to get Snuffles!'

'Oh no. We were afraid of that.' Hermione said worriedly.

'Well we have to go get him!' Kathy sobbed.

'We can't.' Ron said sadly.

'Why can't we?' Kathy asked as she breathed in between sobs. 'I need to save my brother! He's the only family I have left now! I can't bear to lose Harry!' Kathy summoned her own Firebolt and ran from the room.

'Kathy! Come back!' Hermione shouted. 'We have to go after her Ron.' she urged. 'If Kathy doesn't make it, then there'll be no Potters left. And I don't think I'll be able to make it without Harry and Kathy.' Tears were forming in Hermione's eyes.

'O.K., we'll go, but they'll be alright.' Ron said seriously.

'Ron, remember last year? No one was alright after we left. I don't think anyone will ever be after that. I know I'm not, and you're not either.' Hermione grabbed Ron's arm and rolled up his sleeve. Several scars were on his arm from the stupid mistake he made.

Ron pulled back his sleeve. 'Acio brooms.' he said in a toneless voice. Hermione smiled as they ran down the corridors and out the door. Until -

'Hey!' someone called behind them. 'Where are you going?'

'Go away Malfoy we have to be somewhere right now.' Ron snarled.

'Like where?' Draco asked with a sneer.

'None of your business now good bye.'

Ron and Hermione mounted their brooms and flew off after Kathy, who was speeding after Harry. Draco took one look at the two, and knew something was wrong. He could see it their eyes. He conjured up his own broom and sped after the others, not knowing what to expect.

Kathy arrived at the Ministry of Magic about two minutes after Harry. She pounded on the phone booth door, which was actually the elevator that led to the Ministry of Magic. Harry looked up after putting on the identification badge, and let his sister in just before the elevator moved down.

'What are you doing here?' Harry asked angrily.

'I'm protecting you. I can't afford to lose the last person in my family. And if you die, I-I'll die with you.' Kathy said, her eyes flickering with fear.

'Kathy, I don't know if you remember, but look at this.' Harry grabbed Kathy's arm and rolled up her sleeve as Hermione had done to Ron just earlier. 'The last time you were here one of the Death Eaters nearly severed off your wrist. You're mortal now; you can't help me if you tried.'

Kathy stared at the scar on her left wrist where the Death Eater Lucius Malfoy had brought done the knife, slicing her wrist. The last thing her powers had done was to barely heal it, keeping her alive for the moment. She had used all of her energy to heal the open wound, but all she could do before she had passed out was to seal it to stop it from letting her bleed to death. She had fainted and had woken up in that dreadful Hospital Wing a week later. That was when she had heard about Sirius falling behind the veil. And not coming out.

'I'm staying. And you're not going to stop me.' Kathy said looking up. Her hair had fallen over her eyes, making her seem a bit evil in the dim light. Her bright eyes seemed to shine, then turn from green to red. Harry shivered, and sensed his sister's determination. He agreed.

Ron and Hermione finally arrived, and noticed that the other two had already went inside.

Then they noticed another figure, soaring towards them.

'Malfoy.' Ron snarled. He stopped next to Ron and Hermione, and looked around.

'Where is everyone?' Draco asked, turning to Hermione, seeing the angry look on Ron's face.

'It's just Harry and Kathy, and they've went into the Department of Mysteries to get Sirius back from behind the veil.' Hermione explained in a stern voice.

'But isn't You-Know-Who and some of his followers hiding out in there?' Draco asked, looking concerned, about Kathy most likely.

'I can't believe you believed that rubbish!' Ron burst out. 'It's all lies! It's always been lies! And you above all people believed that crap?!' Ron turned around and walked away over to a bench. He pulled something out of his pocket and took a long and slender object out of a small box. He put it in his mouth and lit it, staring at the evening sky.

'What is Weasley think he's doing?' Draco asked as Ron took a long drag on the cigarette. 'This is a bad time for him I know, but he doesn’t have to go and smoke!'

Hermione fell to the ground and started crying. 'Everything is so messed up.' she sobbed. 'Ron's smoking, you care, and now I fear that Kathy and Harry might die in there and we can't help at all!' She sniffed. 'I just wish none of this ever happened. None of us ever went into there to get Sirius, even though he was fine the whole time. Now he's gone, and Harry's life has been all misery since then.' Hermione turned to Draco, who felt her sadness flooding over to him. 'Why are you here, anyway?'

'As soon as I saw you I knew something was wrong. And now that I know how evil my father truly is, I feel like I owe Kathy my life. It's my entire fault, really. I told Father you guys were coming, and how powerful Kathy really was, so I warned him. It turned out that Kathy got hurt, and Black died. I blame all this on myself.' Hermione looked at Draco like she was seeing him for the first time. She was about to say something when the elevator came back.

'Let's go.' Ron said, throwing down the cigarette. They stepped into the shaft, dialed the number, received their ident badges, and waited for the shaft to hit floor one.

This is only half of this paragragh. The site is being stupid, so I have to post the other half seperately. So enjoy the first halh, please.

TeganWR · 06-14-2005, 01:44 AM

Awesome, keep it coming!

blueice · 06-17-2005, 08:03 PM

very cool very cool PAMS!!!!!!!!!!

Kathy Caldron · 06-17-2005, 10:14 PM

Heehee, here's the second half! And thanks!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

As they three entered the Ministry of Magic, Harry and Kathy entered the Department of Mysteries.

'Which door was it?' Kathy asked.

'How should I know?' Harry growled. 'Let's just try them all like last time. Do you remember the spell Hermione used to burn X's on the doors?'

'Yes. Now let's start before it's too late.' Kathy said seriously.

'Too late?'

'Yes. I think the others followed me, and they'll make us leave if we don't hurry.' Kathy looked through the first door, which was wrong, because a creature was lying on the floor. It looked up, growled, and pounced, it's eyes glowing from the light protruding from the tip of their wands. Kathy screamed and shut the door, locking it tightly. 'O.K., that's not it.' Kathy panted as she X'd the door.

'No, you think?!' Harry yelled. Then the room started spinning. When it was done, they tried the next door, which, to their great relief, was the right one. Kathy waved her wand and a giant check mark appeared, signaling their victory. They raced inside and Harry immediately threw back the veil.

'I'm going in.' Harry said. 'If I'm not back in 15 minutes, see if you can summon us back. You know how to don't you?'

'Of coarse I do. Now go, and please come back, with Sirius hopefully.' Kathy said with tears in her eyes. Harry kissed his sister on the forehead, and jumped behind the veil. A distant yell of terror echoed then faded as Harry fell, and Kathy waited, hoping and wishing with all her might that Harry would return, alive, and that Sirius would return with him. She sat down on the bottom seats, and didn't notice the black-robed man enter the large room, carrying a wand in his hand, and a gun and a knife in his robe pocket. He slowly stepped towards Kathy, and then hid as Harry and Sirius appeared from behind the veil 5 minutes later.

'You made it! Oh you made it oh Harry I was so worried!' Kathy sobbed happy tears as they all hugged. They turned their attention to the door as they man stood up and pointed his wand at Sirius.

'All the better to get rid of you first Black. After you, the others will fall, making them all the easier to kill.' He said, like he was thinking aloud. He laughed cruelly, and yelled out a spell. 'AVADA KADAV-', but he was cut off as Ron, Hermione, and Draco burst through the doors. Kathy rushed forward, grabbed the man's wand and snapped it in half. He glared angrily at her. He shoved the others aside and grabbed Kathy by the throat.

'I thought I had killed you before, but you are as powerful as my son said. Without his help, I would've never been able to weaken you.' With his free hand he pulled back his hood to reveal -

'Lucius Malfoy.' Kathy gasped for breath as Lucius tightened his grip. Nobody moved, for fear that he would kill her.

'Father.' Draco asked, his voice rising. 'How could you?'

'Draco, you said you wanted her dead, so now I'm going to kill her. Not just for you, but for the Dark Lord's pleasure. When he finds out that you helped kill them all, you'll become a Death Eater as soon as you graduate.' Lucius sneered, and pulled out the knife. 'Take this, and corner them in the veil. I'll put a spell on it so there will be one way in, but no way out. I'll help you as soon as I finish her off.' Before he handed the knife to Draco, he made a small cut on Kathy's throat, and threw her to the floor, leaving her to die. Draco rushed to her side. He glared at his father.

'I only said I wanted her dead because I was angry at the time, and was for quite a while, but now I've forgiven her, forgiven all of them, and I want none of them dead.' Draco snarled at his father. Lucius smiled.

'Wrong answer.' He pulled out the gun and shot Draco. He fell to the floor beside Kathy, bleeding. His blood flowed over to Kathy, who was lying on her stomach. His blood slowly spread to her lips, and she felt the tingling, only not as powerful as before. All of her wounds were healed in a second, but she was still mortal. No spell could heal her, she was mortal forever, and would always be. Her wounds proved that theory. As she slowly got up, Lucius kicked her, making her fall back down, clutching her gut. Nobody moved, except for Sirius, who was holding Harry's wand, and was slowly inching forward.

'Why are you doing this?' Hermione sobbed. She was clinging to Ron to stop herself from falling. 'Why do you want to kill us all? You'd even kill your own son, just to impress Voldemo-'

'Don't you dare say his name! You filthy little Mudblood!' Lucius yelled. He pointed his gun at Hermione and fired. Hermione screamed and fell to the floor. That was when Sirius pounced.

'Avada Kadavra!' Sirius yelled. Just before the spell hit Lucius, he pointed the gun at Kathy and shot. Then he fell to the floor, dead.

Harry ran to Kathy, Draco, and Hermione. Ron was leaning over Hermione. She opened her eyes and smiled.

'He missed.' she whispered. They looked to Draco. He was breathing, and was only shot on the edge of the arm. He got up and clutched his arm.

'He only grazed me, so I landed on my arm so he wouldn't notice.' Draco muttered. Sirius ripped off part of his robe and wrapped it around Draco's wound. He mumbled a grateful 'Thanks'. All of a sudden, two familiar figures appeared in the doorway. Kathy sat up, clutching her wound, blood staining her robes badly.

'Lucius failed.' Lord Voldemort said angrily. 'Kill her! Kill Kathy!' He motioned to the person next to him, and the man slowly raised a wand and yelled out in a wheezy voice.

'Avada Kadavra!' Peter Pettigrew shouted. The spell hit Kathy right in the chest. She screamed out, sounding just like her mother, the night she was murdered. Then she was silent. Harry felt his anger rising quickly. He grabbed back his wand from Sirius and yelled out the two words he had never hoped to say in his life.

'Avada Kadavra!' Harry yelled with all his might, but instead of killing Kathy's murderer, the spell hit Voldemort. He cried out, and lay motionless on the ground. Then as if a breeze was in the room, he turned to dust and blew away, hopefully and truly dead. Peter cursed, and changed into a rat once again, to make his escape. He ran out of the room and disappeared into one of the many rooms in the forever mysterious Department of Mysteries.

Hermione looked around. First at Draco, then Kathy, then what was left of Voldemort, then Lucius. She looked at Ron, who hugged her as she tried to get rid of all these awful pictures out of her mind. She cried, never knowing when she'll feel happy again.

They all turned their attention to Kathy, waiting for her to get up, smile, and hug everyone, explaining that her powers had returned with the help of Draco's blood, and that she had just faked her death. But she didn't get up. And she never did. Harry picked up the blood-drenched Kathy and held her close, knowing that she would never be able to hug anyone back ever again. Kathy was dead. For the first time in her life, Hermione wished she was dead. She cried on Ron's shoulder as Sirius carried Kathy out of the Ministry of Magic. Everyone followed in silence, and no one said a word as they buried Kathy a week later, knowing that that would be the last time they saw Kathy, alive.

Tears formed in Hermione's eyes as she finished off that dreadful scene in her mind. She knew that Kathy had died about a year ago, and that she should forget, but she just couldn't, and she knew she never would be able to forget the day when Harry became the last of the Potters.

Hee hee what a glorious day this has come to be! Ahem, apart from the fact that I nearly had my poor left arm bitten to death. Anyway, here's more! And it gets better!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

As Draco walked down the hall, looking for Hermione, he fell the softness of hair brush against his face.

'What the -' Draco said, spinning to his right. A girl about his age ran by, her long red hair swishing from side to side, bouncing with every step she took. She was tall and thin, and by the color of her hands sticking out from beneath her robe, she was extremely pale. Draco recognized the figure immediately, and felt his voice get stuck in his throat as he called out to her.

'K-Kathy?' he stuttered. The girl stopped, and looked ready to turn around. But she didn't. She kept on going, and didn't stop. Draco ran after her. He knew it was Kathy, he could feel it. In all of his years at Hogwarts he had never seen any other girl that looked like her, and he just had to make sure.

'Kathy! Kathy wait up!' Draco called to her, but she kept on going. She led him straight to the Griffindor portrait hole. The Fat Lady was not there, but that didn't stop the girl. She pulled out her wand, waved in, and her hair was up in a tight bun in seconds. She pulled her hood over her face, and pushed at the portrait. Her hand didn't touch the portrait, but yet it opened. Draco watched in utter amazement as she stepped inside. He pulled his hood over his head and ran forward before the portrait closed, and walked into the Griffindor Common Room.

'Wait a minute.' Draco though. 'I'm in Slytherin. People will notice I don't belong in here.' He looked down at his House crest, and noticed it had magically changed from Slytherin to Griffindor. 'Now I'm freaked out.' he whispered.

He walked nervously towards the girls' dormitory entrance, where the girl had just walked up. Now Draco knew that boys couldn't enter the girls' dormitory, but as he stepped onto the first step, it remained unchanged. He walked upwards, just waiting for the moment when the stairs would change to a slide, but it didn't, until he reached the top. The stairs became as smooth as glass, and he started to fall downwards, until he felt a hand close around his wrist. He looked up, and saw the face of Kathy Potter staring happily down on him.

'Kathy? But - You're supposed to be - How did -' Draco stuttered as Kathy helped him up. He stepped up to her and she faced him with a sparkle in her eye.

'Malfoy.' Kathy whispered, her voice full of mystery, like the place she had ''died.'' 'I have to tell you something. Voldemort's-' Then footsteps were heard, and a pure wooden banister appeared out of no where. Kathy looked at it with great fascination, and fear. 'How did that get there?' she asked worriedly. Draco leaned forward and kissed Kathy. He held her close, never wanting to let go, for fear that she would disappear, leaving them all alone once again, empty inside and cold inside without her warmth and loving to keep them alive.

'Please don't leave.' Draco pleaded. 'Potter, uh, I mean, Harry's a mess without you. He really misses you. They all miss you. Even me.'

'I'm sorry.' Kathy apologized, and stepped towards the window. 'I have to go.' She closed her eyes and a bright flash of light appeared, only this time it was bright green instead of gold. An orange feathered tawny owl stood in her place, flapped it's wings, and flew out of the room. Draco sadly looked down, and noticed his Slytherin crest on his robe.

'How did -', but he never finished his sentence, because someone grabbed him roughly from behind, and spun him around.

'Malfoy?' Ron asked as he stared at Draco. 'How did you get in here?' he asked, his voice rising.

'I-I-' Draco stuttered and stared out the window. A bright green flash, followed by a different wing sound was heard. He saw a pair of clear green wings just barely showing from under the window sill. Kathy's head bobbed up, and she stared at him in fear, like she didn't want Ron to know about her.

'Don't tell him.' she mouthed worriedly to him. He nodded.

'I came up here to see Hermione.' Draco told him, saying the other reason he had come. 'I wanted to tell her something, but when I got here she was gone.'

'Oh really?' Ron asked. 'Did the Fat Lady let you in?'

'I think it was her. How should I know what your stupid portrait looks like?'

Ron sneered. 'So you broke in?' He seemed to be enjoying Draco's discomfort.

'No. The portrait opened for me. In fact, I just walked right in and up the stairs!' He sneered as well, and heard a tiny gasp from the window. He looked.

'Don't tell!' she mouthed urgently.

'I won't!' he thought.

'What are you looking at?' Ron asked. He started to walk to the window.

'It was nothing, now I thought you wanted me out of here?' Draco asked, and grabbed Ron by the shirt to keep him away from the window.

'I do. You don't belong here, but before you go, what did you want to say to Hermione?' Ron seemed to have taken sudden interest in what he was saying.

'I wanted to tell her - that I - uh, had a crush on her since the beginning of the year!' Draco cringed, and noticed the cruel smile Ron had. He seemed to have taken over the evil one of the school for Draco.

'Well you're too late. Hermione's with me now.' Ron snarled cruelly.

'No.' Draco heard Kathy silently say. He looked to the window, and saw the tears slide down her cheeks. He ran to the window, ignoring Ron's shouts.

'Kathy!' Draco yelled as she flew away as fast as she could, sad tears flying behind her. 'Kathy wait!'

'What did you say?' Ron asked as he stepped up beside Draco. 'Did you just say "Kathy"?'

'No!' Draco panicked. 'I didn't say anything!'

'What the hell?' Ron just saw the flying figure of Kathy disappear into the lake with a small splash. 'Was that, who I thought it was?' Ron's eyes grew wide with fear.

'Yes.' Draco mumbled as he stared at the flattening ripples on the lake. 'She's back.'

'But isn't she -'

'Dead. Yes. She was. But she's back. And she mentioned Voldemort.'
