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



Draco and Ron ran outside as fast as they could. They reached the lake, and got ready to jump in. Draco went in first, and he shivered against the cold water.

'Weasley, this is a stupid idea.' Draco grumbled as he waded into the freezing water. 'I'm frozen from the waist down now.' But yet, he dove under and waited for Ron to join him. 'We could’ve at least tried to wear one of those Muggle water suits or something, as long as we're warm and dry.' He swam further. 'Well? Are you coming?'

'Just a minute. I have to put on the Muggle waterproof swim suit.' Ron laughed as he slipped on the navy blue water suit. He pulled the air piece into his mouth and dove in. 'Wow, this thing really works!' He laughed and swam right beside Draco. 'See you at the bottom.' He swam deeper and deeper, the waters growing darker with each kick.

Draco snarled as he climbed on the shore. He was just beginning to pull on the suit and air tank when he heard a voice.

'Malfoy!' Hermione called. Harry was walking beside her. 'Wha- What are you doing?'

'I'm going swimming.' Draco muttered. 'You got a problem with that?'

'Jeez Malfoy, you seem to be acting very strange lately, even for you.' Harry said. Draco did up the zipper and stepped into the ice cold water.

'Bye Harry, Hermione.' With that, Draco put the air piece in his mouth and dove in after Ron.

'Did he just call you Hermione?' Harry asked.

'Did he just call you Harry?' Hermione asked.

As Harry and Hermione puzzled about their strange-acting enemy, Draco and Ron swam deeper and deeper into the Black Lake.

'Hey you can talk with these things.' Ron said suddenly, making Draco nearly jump out of his suit.

'Perfect. All the better to yell at you!' Draco yelled. Then he smiled. 'There she is.' He pointed to a girl, sitting on a rock, her hair flowing around her head.

'Kathy!' Ron called to her. She looked up and swam away, a scaly tail swishing behind her. 'My bad.' Ron said embarrassed.

'No, I think you were right! Kathy! Kathy we know it's you now stop!' Draco yelled. She stopped and turned around to show that it was indeed, her.

'Why are you here?' Kathy asked, swimming up to them. 'And what are you wearing?'

'What we're wearing is not important and nice disguise. You look like a redheaded version of that mermaid picture in the prefects' bathroom.' Ron said, staring at her tail.

'Don't remind me. The merpeople won't let me stay with them because they think I'm mocking them, but I'm not. I'm stuck like this everytime I want to hide. When I left, I felt myself changing, I can't control my change you see, so I dove in, not wanting you to notice, but I can see it's kinda hard to hide it when your looking right at me.' Even in the very dim light, Draco could see Kathy blush. Then she turned serious. 'You can't tell anyone I'm here. If Peter ever found out even you two know I'm back, he'll -' She fell into an unexpected fit of sobs, her shoulders shaking in fear and sadness.

'Wait a minute; did you just say "Peter"? As in "Peter Pettigrew"? He's back?' Ron moved closer.

'Along with Voldemort. Peter brought me back, and my powers magically returned, all of them, and then with my help, we brought Voldemort back.' Kathy seemed to hate herself for doing such a horrible, terrible, hateful deed.

'But why?' Ron asked. He grabbed Kathy by the shoulders. 'Why?'

'Because I had to. When Peter brought me back, I was in his debt. I had to do whatever he said, or else, he'd kill me. He put a curse on me as soon as I was living again, so that if I betrayed him, I would die immediately. So all this time, I've been preparing for that one day. The day that you, Harry, Hermione, the others in the D.A. that were there that day, and the Order will all be killed. The day that Voldemort returns to power, and rules the wizarding world.' She turned away and sobbed, not wanting to be seen. 'I have told you all I know, and that is enough. For now, you must leave, Peter has sent others to watch me, and if he finds out about you, I shall be punished with no mercy. Leave! Quickly! Go now!' Without even saying a goodbye, Kathy changed back to normal with a bright green flash, only with her wings, and swam to the surface, disappearing out of sight, until their next meeting.

thank u so much for the flower. I love it!! and i love the story!! PAMS!!!

Hee hee; Anything for my readers and repliers! lol, here's more. Kinda short though.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

'So he's back.' Draco whispered as he and Ron swam around in the lake. 'He's back, he wants to kill us, and he's forcing Kathy to do his work for him. Great. That's just perfect. Now I know we're doomed.' Draco sat down on a disfigured boulder. 'What are you so quiet about? Haven't said a word since she left. Something wrong? Here, pull up a rock.' Draco moved to the left as Ron sat down.

'I was just wondering, why did you become so nice all of a sudden, after all these years? I mean, one minute you're saying you want us dead, the next you're protecting us from your father. What happened? Why do you care?' Ron glanced at his enemy. Draco looked down, and answered.

'I don't know. After that day, it was like I was opening my eyes for the first time. I saw Kathy, just lying there, on the verge of death, and I saw every bad thing I had done in my life. Then I saw my father, just shooting spells at everyone, everyone I cared about, including you and Harry, and even - Sirius was it? So I tried to stop him. You know where that led to.' He smiled. They both let an out a laugh as they sat together on the boulder, and soon became friends.

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

Hee hee. Was anyone expecting this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~

'So where have you been?' Hermione asked Ron as he stepped inside the Common Room. He was soaking wet, cold, and shivering, no thanks to Draco. They had just finished a game of underwater tag, a game not usually played by sworn enemies, but since they were friends now, they had found how cool the other truly was. Until Draco had ripped Ron's suit. He had swam to the surface as fast as he could, shivering against the cold water as Draco remained at the bottom of the lake, laughing. Until of course he was chased out by the giant squid. They had walked back separately, hoping no one would have seen them.
'Just make sure no one knows we're friends. They might use that as an advantage, especially Harry. No offence. Just promise not to tell anyone about Kathy, or our friendship.' They had shaken on it, and so far so good.

'I was out for a walk, until Malfoy pushed me in the lake.' He pretended to be angry.

'Oh Ron that's terrible!' Hermione said.

'We'll have to teach that little ferret a lesson.' Harry snarled angrily.

'Don't worry.' Ron reassured his friend. 'I already took care of it.'

'What'd you do?'

'I -' Ron paused, and thought about would he would’ve done if the incident had really happened. 'I tossed a spell at him. He's out in the lake now actually, trying to find his wand.' He laughed.

'Wow.'

'I know. But he got what he deserved right?' Ron walked into his dormitory to get changed, laughing to himself the whole way.

'O.K., now I know something's wrong.' Hermione said softly. She led Harry over to the couches as he questioned her thought.

'What do you mean?' he asked, hushing his voice to a whisper.

'Haven't you noticed that Ron and Malfoy have both been acting rather strange lately?'

'I guess so. They were acting strange I can admit that, but why? Ron's our friend. He would tell us if something's up. Wouldn't he?' Harry puzzled.

'They're hiding something from us; well I can understand Malfoy doing that but not Ron. And I think they're in this together. Ron's keeping something from us.' Hermione whispered, almost angrily.

'So? If he's got something he doesn’t want to tell that's called a "secret" Hermione. It's alright to have one.' Harry laughed.

'Ron's keeping something from us.' Hermione said again. 'And I 'm gunna find out what it is.'

'How?'

'I'm going to follow him, and so are you. You're used to this kind of stuff right?'

Harry looked offended.

'Sorry Harry but it's true, and the next time Ron goes out, we're going to follow him.'

'Alright, but Hermione?'

'Yes?' She glanced at him, then at the boys' dormitory door. 'Ron's coming.'

'Hey I just remembered, I forgot something outside, so uh, I'm gunna go get it before the snow storm does. See ya later.' He walked off. Hermione noticed that he was holding a note in his left hand. She smiled and grabbed Harry by the sleeve.

'Grab your Invisibility Cloak and c'mon. Now's our chance.' She raced for the portrait hole. 'Hurry!' Harry ran off and returned with the Cloak. He threw it around them and they raced after Ron.

ooooooo i did not see that coming!!!!! What is the note??!! I muat know! So PAMS!!!!

Hi everybody! I just can't stand it! If someone posts, then I'll reply right away! So here's more! Already! (Expect this if I'm home lol)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

As Ron stepped into his dormitory, he heard a faint tapping noise. He searched the room until he saw the owl. He hurried over to the window and let it in. Draco's eagle owl held out its leg so Ron could untie the small note attached. He read it, and hurried out, after changing first of course.

'Hey I just remembered,' Ron said as he walked past Hermione and Harry who were sitting by the fire. They seemed to be engaged in deep thought and conversation. 'I forgot something outside, so uh, I'm gunna go get it before the snow storm does. See ya later.' He walked out, holding tightly the note in his left hand.

He hurried down the corridors, sometimes hearing footsteps behind him, but turning around to see nothing. He ran onto the grounds and saw Draco. He could see that he was draped in several layers of warm clothing plus a winter cloak, that he had his arms crossed in the cold, and was leaning against a tree trunk. He looked up and Ron saw the worried and frightened look on his face.

'What happened? What is it?' Ron asked as he stepped up to him.

'It's Kathy!' Draco yelled over the upcoming storm. 'Pettigrew found out! And now's he's controlling her.'

'What?!' Ron yelled. He couldn't hear a single word. He shivered greatly and wished that he had brought his cloak as well.

'Here! Read this!' Draco yelled as he handed Ron a letter. He wrapped his cloak around Ron to keep him from freezing. He squinted as large snowflakes whipped past at great speed, and just barely read the scribbled words on the parchment Draco had handed to him.

'I have Kathy, and have found out about your little meeting. She shall be punished, and afterwards, killed, but not immediately. I have placed a spell on her so she is in my command. She will kill you all, and not even have second thoughts. After the Dark Lord has taken over, we shall have no use for the girl, and she shall be killed. Not all at once, but slowly, and painfully, like the first time. Do not try and stop us. It will be like trying to stop an army of trolls. They have joined us now you know. All the easier to destroy Hogwarts.

With all do respect,

Peter Pettigrew

'Well I can see he's as stupid as ever!' Ron shouted. He handed the note back to Draco, who reread it himself.

'Yeah but he's serious. Kathy sent me a letter as well, but it's cut off. She probably only had so much time before it was too late. You wanna read it?' Draco pulled the letter from under his three sweaters. It was crumpled up, and it was either the snow, but it looked tear stained.

'I'll read it later. We have to get inside or we'll freeze!' Ron grabbed the other note and shoved it in his pocket.

'I believe you're right!' They trudged inside, heavily grounded with the knowledge that Voldemort and his followers were going to attack soon, but when? They also dreaded the knowledge that they had put someone they dearly cared about in great danger, and that they were doomed.

As Harry and Hermione watched the two walk back inside the castle, they now understood why Ron had kept it a secret.

'Kathy's back?' Hermione asked, her eyes filling with tears. They froze on her very cheeks as they ran down. 'And he didn't tell us? She didn't tell us? How could they?'

'Because you heard what they said, er yelled. They said she would be punished if Pettigrew found out. And he did, so now she's in trouble. And if you couldn't hear that yell, they said Voldemort was back as well.' Harry stared towards the sky, snowflakes catching on his round glasses.

'But we saw him, uh, blow away.' Hermione squealed. 'It's impossible!'

'I know. Now I know we're doomed. Kathy's with them, Voldemort's back. You might as well enjoy your last hours Hermione, cause this time, we can't escape.' Harry walked back to the castle, leaving Hermione standing out in the snow, crying, and wishing it would all go away.

'And it will soon. It will.' She fell to the snow-covered ground and wept.

OH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Pettigrew found out!!!!! PAMS!!!!! I need to know what happens to Kathy!!!!!!!

Heeheehahahooo! Like I said, as soon as I see a reply, so will I. And you won't believe what happens next! > MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

Kathy sat in her small hut room and cried.

'What've I done?' she sobbed as she wiped her eyes. 'What've I done?'

'I'll tell you what you've done.' came a voice from the door. 'You've helped me conquer the wizarding world, and you shall be rewarded greatly.' Kathy looked up and saw Lord Voldemort enter her room. He had his hood up, and wore a long black robe. As he stepped into the small, almost empty room, Kathy felt a shiver run down her spine. She spoke in a shaking voice.

'W-Why do you come Master?' she stuttered, not wanting to stay any longer.

'I have come to congratulate your acting.' Another chill.

'M-My acting?' Kathy grabbed her thin blanket and wrapped it around her shoulders.

'Yes. You convinced those two boys that you were their friends, and they believed you. That note made it even more convincing. Pretty soon Potter and his friends will be dead, and you and Wormtail shall be second and third in command. See you at the charging line.' Kathy sensed his cruel smile as Voldemort walked off, the chill remaining in the room. She could see her breath as she breathed heavily in and out, and felt the tears freeze on her cheeks as they rolled down.

'I can't believe this is all my doing. All this pain, this suffering, just to live. I should’ve died. I should've died rather than betray my friends.' Kathy stopped, and thought about her chosen words. A voice, an angry voice ran through her head, and she saw Sirius, that one night, so many years ago in the Shrieking Shack. He had said to Pettigrew that he had rather died than sell out his friends to Voldemort, and Kathy felt layer upon layer of guilt fall upon her. 'I'll set this right, and die to do it.' As night fell, Kathy's plan was forming in her head, and she prepared to face her fear, and die again.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO Kathy why did youdo that? PAMS!!!!

She did it because I told her to! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ahem, sry. You-Know-Who got a hold of my computer. The story's almost done! Just to let you know, there are only *checks remaining chapters* wow. There are only 2 left after this one, so hopefully everything turns out all right! Who knows wut cud happen? I do of course! Hope for the best.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

'Hermione? You okay?' Hermione looked up from her pillow and wiped her eyes. 'Is something wrong?' A boy sat down next to her.

'No, nothing.' she said quietly. 'Why would you care? What would it matter? The world practically ends soon.' She sniffed.

'Sorry. Didn't know.'

'Didn't know?! You were one of the first to know! How could you say that?!' Hermione felt ready to fall into a fit of sobs.

'I said I was sorry. Besides, we could fix this. We could gather everyone up, find out where Voldemort and his followers are hiding, save Kathy, and -'

'Stop. You'll just be wasting your breath.' She sighed, and wiped her eyes for about the millionth time. 'Just face it. Voldemort won. It's over.' Hermione threw her arm around the boy's shoulder to help herself up. Then she realized something. 'Hey, how did you get up here? How did you get in here?' The boy smiled as he reached up and stroked Hermione's hair. She smacked his hand.

'Ron let me in.' Draco said. He wrapped a neighboring bed's blanket around his shoulders. The room was cold because of a certain broken window frame. It still had not been fixed.

'Ron let you in? He let you in? Why would he do that? You guys hate each other. Don't you?'

'Not really. We're mates now.' He pulled a small, rectangular box out of his jeans pocket. Hermione puzzled about it for a while before she noticed Draco react a similar act as Ron had done more than a year ago.

'Draco Malfoy!' she squealed. Draco shrugged and took another drag on the cigarette. 'You're another person I'd thought I'd never see do that. Throw that out!' She ripped the cigarette from out of Draco's mouth and threw it out the dormitory window. Draco sprang up.

'What're you doing?!' He raced to the window and stuck his head into the stormy air. 'Can't you live a little?!' He sat back on the bed and grumbled as he threw the empty cigarette box across the room. It landed with a small thud on the floor.

'Live a little? Sometimes I don't understand you.' She sighed and looked the other way.

'When have you ever understood me?'

'Don't think I ever have. I guess we all never really got to know each other well enough to understand one another.' She laughed and hugged Draco. He smiled and hugged her back.

'So it's all good?' he asked.

'It's all good. C'mon, if I'm going to spend my last hours, it'll be with my friends. To try and save my best friend. Let's go save Kathy, and defeat Voldemort and Pettigrew once and for all.' Hermione grabbed Draco's hand and they went downstairs to think up a plan, and save the world.

OOO I just read all of that (it took me awhile) great story! So will Hermione end up with Ron or Draco? Will Ron go back to Kathy? Or will Draco hook up with Kathy? hmmmm. Great story! Cant wait to read what happens next!

Thanks! And welcome to the Kathy club! Although it's not going to last very long because this is the second-to-last paragragh! Will everything turn out all right? Wil the world be saved? Will I ever stop asking questions and get to the story? lol, why don't you guys find out...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

The night had come. Actually it was the same night, but still, it was time. As Harry finished off with the plan to save the Wizarding World once again, Voldemort, Peter, and Kathy approached Hogwarts. Voldemort wore his long black robe, the hood cowering over his face. Peter wore some new black robes, instead of the ugly pinstriped suit he had worn for the last 17 years. Kathy wore a similar black robe, and a Death Eater's mask, so that the others couldn't see her worried look. It used to belong to Lucius Malfoy, and Kathy was reluctant to wear it, but it was the only one left behind.

'My Lord, why must we attack tonight?' Kathy asked, shivering in the thin robe. 'It's Christmas Eve. Mostly everyone will be gone anyway.'

'I know, and with Potter here, and his friends at the safety of their little homes, the easier he will fall. Do you understand girl?' Voldemort questioned, his cloak not even shuddering in the rough wind.

'Yes My Lord, the girl does, and if she doesn't, I shall see to it that she does. But if everyone is at home, then why are they here?' Peter wondered aloud. Kathy drew her attention to the few students who were leaving the castle, and slowly proceeding forward. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco wore their winter cloaks over their uniforms, and, even though it was below zero, Hermione even her black skirt as part of it. They walked together in a horizontal line, wands out, faces stern.

'Those fools.' Peter snarled. 'What do they think they're doing?'

'Hand over Kathy, or -' Harry began. He raised his wand and pointed it at his foes.

'Or what?' Peter sneered. 'If you ask me, I don't even think the girl knows who you are. I have erased her memory, and now I control her. Watch.' He snapped his fingers, and Kathy pulled out her wand, trying to keep up the act. She pointed her wand at Harry, who looked surprised, and tried to keep her pose. 'See?' Peter bragged, sounding like he was showing off a new toy. 'She will destroy you all, and not even utter a single tear.'

'No she won't. I know she remembers us! Kathy! Don't listen to him!' Harry yelled, his arm shaking with fear. He knew the powers his sister possessed, and wondered about the ones the others might have. Apart, they were strong, but together, they were unstoppable. Kathy's arm hurt from being held up for so long, but she kept it up.

'Enough! Attack girl!' Peter yelled out angrily. He snapped his finger once again, and Kathy sprang forward. No one could've braced themselves for the spell she was about to yell out.

'Crucio!' she yelled, but with great difficulty. The spell barely missed Harry as he jumped to the side. He looked up from the large pile of snow he landed in, and Ron and Hermione helped him up. They he raised his wand, and yelled out his own spell. Kathy was so surprised she forgot to duck.

'Crucio!' Harry repeated. The curse hit Kathy, and she fell to the ground, screaming in fake pain

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: I had to shorten the paragragh, so this is only half of it. Another day of waiting for the end. Until tomorrow, my dear readers.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! I must know what happens! I can't wait!! PAMS!!

Al;right. This is it. The end. But not the last chapter. Remember that for tomorrow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

-'It looks like my powers are kicking in.' she thought. Thanks to them, it blocked out all the pain of the spell, but she felt something none the less. She fought the urge to laugh as a faint tickling sensation coursed through her body.

As Harry watched his sister suffer and scream in fake pain, he lowered his wand. The spell canceled out, and Harry fell to the ground.

'So Potter, I see you're becoming weak. All the easier.' Voldemort raised his wand, and yelled out a spell of his own. 'AVADA KADAVRA!'

'NOOOO!' someone yelled. Kathy thought it was herself, but she was to busy running to Harry to know who it really was. Until she saw Hermione jump in front of Harry. The spell hit her instead, and she fell at Harry's knees. He picked up his friend, and held her close. Kathy felt a tear run down her cheek as Harry looked up, fire in his eyes, at Voldemort. The Dark Lord laughed cruelly as Harry handed Hermione to Ron, and stepped forward. Voldemort did the same. They walked until they were 3 steps apart. They lifted their wands in front of their faces, and bowed, Harry's a bit stiff. They straitened themselves, turned, and walked about 20 paces in the opposite direction. They seemed to strike some sort of weird pose, and Kathy hardly had any time to wonder about it, before they both yelled out the same spell. 'AVADA KADAVRA!'

Kathy ran in-between them, and felt the bright green light absorb her, trap her. She felt like a thousand knives were tearing at her skin, and she screamed. The light vanished as quickly as it came, and Kathy landed in a heap in a large snow bank. Yet she was not dead. She looked to her 'master', and tore off the Death Eater's mask.

'Avada Kadavra.' she muttered, and aimed for Voldemort. Coming from her, the spell turned out to be 10 times more powerful, and Voldemort was, once and for all, dead and gone. Then she turned to Peter as the Dark Lord's robes disappeared. 'I don't have to work for you any more.' she whispered with all the might she had. 'You're finished.'

'Stop!' Peter shouted, a flicker of fear to his voice. 'If you kill me, you die.'

'I know. But my friends will be safe, and I'd rather die then betray my friends.' She pointed her wand at Pettigrew, and, before he could change and escape, whispered, 'Avada Kadavra.' The spell reached him at last, and he died. 'Ahh!' Kathy felt a pain in her stomach, and she clutched her gut, sinking to the ground.

'Kathy!' Harry yelled. He ran over, quickly followed by Ron, carrying Hermione, and Draco.

'Give me - Hermione.' Kathy groaned, gritting her teeth in pain. It moved from her stomach to just above her ribs, and she knew she didn't have long. They laid Hermione down in front of her, and she placed her hand on Hermione's heart. A faint glow appeared around their friend, and slowly, she lifted into the air. Hermione suddenly started breathing. Kathy had brought her to life.

'Kathy?' Hermione asked softly as she lowered to the snow-covered ground. 'What happened?'

'I brought you back Hermione.' Kathy whispered. The pain became more intense, and she felt a pinch in her heart. 'You have my powers now. I gave them to you.' She flinched one last time, and fell silent as her head hit the snow.

'Kathy.' Harry gasped. He pulled her onto his lap and held her close as the snowflakes fell onto her pale face, but didn't melt. He cried softly as he held onto his sister, almost for dear life, as she was his. He didn't notice the piece of parchment sticking out of Kathy's robe until Hermione pulled it out and read it aloud.



'Dearest Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, and all my other closest friends,

I have done a terrible thing, and I cannot explain in words enough about how I am ashamed. When Peter brought me back, he put a spell on me so that if I ever betray him in any way I would die, slowly and painfully. In the past day, I have lied to you, Ron and Draco. All this time I have fought without command, and have memorized lines to say. The Dark Lord even entered my room and congratulated my acting. How his words tore me apart. Then I made up my mind. I would have died then to kill you, and now I am dead, and I hope you read this after my death, then before it, or the ending of this letter would sound confusing.

Ron and Draco, I have loved both of you as my friends, and nothing more, even though I want to. Hermione, you have been my best friend, and I wouldn't have picked anyone else to spend my last nights with. Harry, you have been the best brother anyone could ever have, and wish I could spend the rest of my life in a safe world, knowing that I helped save it. Oh how I wish I could be with you all, but I can't be, and it's all because of the three strong words I said the day I returned, "I'll help you." Please forgive me. I was just so afraid to die again, I did the very opposite of what I really wanted. And what I wanted was to be with you all. I bet you're all confused. Well so am I. I'm not very good at writing letters, so I'm just going to end it. I love you all (except for Hermione, I'm not like that), and I know I'm going to miss you all, as you will miss me when I'm gone.

With deepest love and affection,

Kathryn Lily Potter.'



Hermione's voice broke as she finished the letter. She handed it to Harry and tried not to show her tears. Harry reread the letter to himself as the snow thickened as it fell. It almost covered their robes and faces, and Ron finally found the strength to brush the snow from Hermione's face. She looked up at him with her tear flowing eyes. 'Oh Ron.' she said sadly, voice shaking. She threw her arms around his neck and cried. Then she turned to Draco and hugged him tightly.

'It's alright Hermione.' they reassured their friend. She sobbed, hugging them both as Harry read the letter over and over in his mind. Finally, he put it in his robe pocket and hugged his sister.

'Don't worry.' he whispered to her. 'We'll remember you.' He leaned forward and kissed Kathy on her forehead. Ron and Draco both kissed her on her lips, and Hermione hugged her friend. They knew the terror would be over forever, but Kathy was dead. And this time, she wouldn't be coming back.

Epilogue



'Harry dear! C'mon! The party started already!' Hermione called her dear friend as he slipped on a T-shirt or two. He raced down the apartment staircase and into the living room and picked up Hermione with a twirling hug.

'Nice to see you.' he greeted his friends. 'I know it's been 10 years since I last saw you all, and first off, I'm extremely glad to introduce my wife, Diane.' He called to someone on the staircase, and a beautiful blonde-haired women stepped off the bottom step and over to Harry. She was wearing a long, golden, strapless, sparkling gown, made of satin and lace. Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she wore a tiara on her head. You couldn't see her shoes because of the dress covering her feet, but she was wearing high heels, making her an inch taller. She had a bounce to her step, and was as thin as can be. She stepped up to Harry and planted a kiss on his cheek.

'Hi!' she said happily. 'My name is Diane. And you must be Hermione and Ron. I've heard so much about you!' She gave Hermione a hug, and looked at her dress. 'Wow, this is beautiful!' she gushed. Hermione blushed and twirled around for them to see. She was wearing a blue strapless silk dress, blue shoes, and had her hair drawn back into a ponytail. She had grown her hair out over the years, and now it almost reached her waist. She wore white gloves that came past her elbows, and to top it all off, a gold diamond ring on her left hand to show her and Ron's marriage. Ron, on the other hand, wore a T-shirt himself.

'Thank you.' Hermione said. 'You're dress is beautiful too.'

'What about me?' came a voice from the front door. Draco and his wife Pansy walked in, waving. She was wearing an extremely tight and short red dress, and her short black hair had some blonde streaks in it. She was wearing red heels to match. Draco wore a simple T-shirt and pants like every other guy in the room.

'Draco! Pansy!' Hermione squealed. 'I haven't seen you two for so long!' She rushed over for a hug. Draco gave her a quick kiss on the cheek as Ron walked over with a drink in his hand.

'I know eh?' he said, holding out the glass. 'Want a beer?'

'Sure.' Ron handed the drink to him and he drank it down in a gulp. 'So, what've you guys been up to?' He refilled his glass and walked over to the couch and sat down with Ron and Harry.

'Nothin' much.' Harry replied. 'Just got back from California.' He handed a drink to Diane.

'Thanks sweetie.' she smiled. 'Nice place isn't it? Just moved in yesterday. Thank goodness magic speeds things up.' She laughed, and leaned back in the couch.

'Yeah.' Ron said. He walked over to the fireplace, where about 10 pictures were resting. He looked at each one, until his gaze stopped on a particular one. He picked it up and gazed into the moving picture behind the glass where 5 people stood outside Hogwarts, smiling happily, laughing, and waving. Ron chuckled and brought it over to the others. 'Hey guys, remember this?' He handed the picture to Hermione.

'Oh yeah!' She laughed. 'I remember this. Look at our hair! That's when Mr Malfoy over there dumped the picture of water over me and Kathy's head!' She laughed, then became quiet, as did the whole room. Diane looked around at everyone in turn, wondering who this girl was.

'Who's Kathy?' she asked. When no one answered, she got up and walked over to the mantle and examined every picture. They each had a girl, around age 13, laughing and hanging out with Ron, Hermione, Draco, and Harry. Except for one. Sometimes the girl would walk over to Harry and act completely immature by levitating him 10 feet in the air, mess up his hair, or just plain goof off. Sometimes she would hang out with Ron, and kiss him on the cheek now and then. She figured they were going out, but what about Draco and her in the next picture, where it appeared they were going out? And what about Harry? All these questions zoomed through Diane's mind, but everything stopped as she examined the one without the girl. Everyone was dressed in black, and their faces were tear-stained. Every second was filled with misery, and the girl was not there. 'Harry? Who was Kathy?' she asked. Harry expression changed, and he pulled his wife onto his lap. He breathed in, and spoke.

'Kathy was my sister, and we all miss her to this day. We lost her twice, and the days seem longer without her.' He sighed sadly.

'She was my best friend.' Hermione said.

'She was my girlfriend.' Ron said quietly, glancing over at Hermione.

'She almost was my girlfriend, but Weasley got her first.' Draco laughed, putting his arm around Pansy. 'And besides, after her, I started noticing someone else.' He looked to Hermione, who punched him in the shoulder. 'And when I noticed she was taken, I finally noticed Pansy.'

'Finally!' Pansy said happily. 'It took him 7 years! Can you believe that?'

'Yeah yeah we get it!' Draco said, calming her down. Pansy stopped bouncing, but continued smiling as she kissed her husband.

'Uh, just wondering, how did you lose Kathy twice?' Diane asked, placing the picture in her lap as she sat back down next to Harry and Hermione.

'Well, it all started about 12 years ago, when I went off to the Ministry of Magic, to save my godfather Sirius Black...'



The End

Thank you so much for the compliment You are soooooo nice!!! This story was SOOOO GOOD I didn't want it to end!!!! You are such an excellent writer!!! Write another story please!!!!!

I just might. Keep in mind that I have writen two other stories about Kathryn, and the one I'm working on now - the sequal - is like, 123 pages, and I'm still not done! So if anyone wants to read another story about Kathryn and such, with a mix of A Series of Unfortunate Events, then tell me here, and I might just start posting it too. Oh yeah, the Not Yet Named series -That's what they're called, sadly - has violence, romance, mystery, action, confusing moments, and so on. Keep that in mind also.
