Kat's POV

3 years later...

I ran down the stairs to get the mail, and right as I touched a letter, flashbacks came to me... Harry. I pulled the necklace out of my shirt, the one I never took this off since the day he dropped it on the ground when he was taken away by that giant... literally... I never took it off. A tear fell down my cheek. "Kat... promise me you won't forget me. Promise me that you'll remember me when I'm gone." Harry had said 3 years ago. Now I was full on crying. I traced the necklace gently with my finger, as I calmed down and picked the mail up again. As I went through it, my eyes landed on my name.

Kat Stone

The Girl At The Top of the Stairs

I opened it...

Dear Ms. Stone,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! We are sorry the letter came late. We didn't know you existed. Your parents were NOT wizards/witches. We hope to see you at school this year!

Headmistress McGonagall

Wow! I'm a witch! Awesome! I would tell my mom... But she isn't alive. I have a step mom who is really mean! I have to sneak out! I packed my trunk and everything else and climbed out my window. It said I had to go to the Weasley's at The Burrow. I walked outside and went to the nearest shopping place. I saw a group of gingers and walked over to them. "Um are you the Weasley's?" I asked. The mom, I suppose nodded. "Um I'm supposed to go home with you? I'm Kat Stone. I was sent by Headmaster Dumbledore and McGonagall." I explained. I'll get my supplies later.

"Oh! How good to see you! Yes! Follow me!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed. She led me and the other gingers to a fireplace in one of the shops. She got some powder and called one ginger over. "Ron. Show her how it's done." She said giving Ron a pinch of the powder. He nodded. He stepped in the fireplace.

"THE BURROW!" He shouted clearly. He threw the powder down. He disappeared! The rest of the family went which left me and Mrs. Weasley.

"Go on, Dear." She urged. I did the same as everyone else and shot out of another fireplace. Whoa! I was covered in ashes.

"Let me help you!" Ron said putting his hand out. He pulled me up. He took my trunk and I thanked him. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. A girl named Ginny ran to answer it. I heard her squeal.

"MIONE!" She screamed. I ran to the door.

"Hermione?" I said, starting to grin.

"KAT!" She screamed and ran at me like a bulldozer. I screamed and covered my face. I heard the feet stop and I looked up. Then I was pulled into a GIGANTIC hug!

"Hermione... can't... breath..." I choked out.

"Did I miss something?" I heard Ginny question behind us. I pulled away and giggled.

"Ginny, this is my best friend." Hermione and I said. "From America when Hermione was living there." I explained.

-3 WEEKS LATER-

"SLEEPOVER!" I squealed and Ginny and Mione laughed at me.

"Till the 'other one' gets here!" Hermione said waving her hand. Ginny giggled.

"What other one?" I asked tilting my head.

"Another boy!" Ginny said pretending to gag. I laughed.

"So! Do you guys want to see if we can find.... the other one?" Ginny said voice getting dark at the end. I stared at her. We all burst out laughing. We finally calmed down.

"So... Who's the boy?" I asked sitting down on the couch about to take a drink of water.

"Harry Potter." Hermione said simply. I froze and I set my glass down.

"I'm just... gonna go." I said quietly, looking down, as I started walking towards the door.

"Kat, wait! What's wrong?" Ginny asked turning me around and lifting my head up to look at them.

"I can't talk about it... But I can show you if you guys have some spell to show memories," I said. Hermione nodded. She whispered a spell and I thought of the memory. A tear slipped down my face as we were taken into it.

Flashback---

"Harry?" A little me said to a little Harry. A tear slipped down my face as Harry's face turned. "Thanks for coming!" Kat said.

"No problem!" Harry said smiling. By now I was full on crying.

"Oh! I almost forgot! I got you a present!" Kat announced.

"Me too! Me first!" Harry said in a childish voice. The rest of the memory played out and we got to the giant. Harry pulled a little me behind him protectively. The giant grabbed his wrist.

"LET GO OF HIM!" Kat screamed while pulling Harry. More tears fell down my cheeks. The giant took Harry away. (As little me pulled out the necklace, so did I.)

End---

The memory ended and we were pulled back into reality. Hermione and Ginny gasped. I was still crying. I traced the necklace gently with my finger. "He was taken away. I haven't seen him for 3 years." I said quietly. I heard a knock at the door. Ginny opened it.

"Well apparently your gonna be able to see him now." Hermione whispered in my ear. She lifted my head to a boy... with raven black hair... emerald eyes covered by circular glasses... and a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. I dropped the necklace and it bounced on my chest. A tear fell down my cheek as I just stared at the boy in shock. This couldn't be Harry could it?

"Harry this is Kat. Kat this is Harry." Ginny introduced. I noticed Harry grimace when Ginny said my name. Does he remember?

"I gotta go." I said quietly. He glanced at my necklace and his eyes widened.

"Where did you get that?" He asked pointing at my necklace.

"A-a friend." I stuttered. I ran outside and sat under a willow tree. I hugged my knees to my chest and sat my cheek on my right knee. I felt someone grab my wrist roughly and drag me to The Burrow. I was dragged in the door. "LET GO OF ME!" I screamed jerking my arm trying to get out of the grip the mysterious person had on my wrist. I finally got out of the persons grasp and saw that it was the giant that took Harry. I started shaking and I screamed. I backed up against the wall. Hermione, Ginny, and Harry ran down the stairs. I looked at the giant in horror.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked. I pointed to the giant and stuttered.

"H-he took-k m-my best f-friend!" I grabbed my necklace. "Go ahead take me! But this time it won't be so easy." I growled suddenly feeling brave. I saw memories come to Harry's eyes.

"Kat!" Harry breathed. I nodded. I was attacked in a hug.

"Harry! You know I don't like hugs! Especially from boys!" I joked whining. Ginny and Hermione giggled. I hugged Harry back.

"I missed you so much!"
