Kate was eight years old, had met Bill, Charlie, and Percy Weasley and loved them as much as she loved her Sevey. "Bill! Wait for me! Are you going to potions next?" Kate spoke making her attempt to catch up to the now eighteen year old. The eldest Weasley smiled at the little girl. She was as old as Ron, who she had met after begging Dumbledore to let her go with Bill, Charlie, and Percy when they went on summer break before Bill's last year. He smiled at the memory.
~Bill's Memory~
Kate sat next to Bill lying her head on his shoulder drifting into a sleep. Charlie was staring out the window, Percy was reading a book and Bill was doing what he usually did when Kate began to fall asleep, he combed through her hair and hummed a song. "Trolley!Anything from the trolley for you lot? Oh... I'm sorry I should be a little quieter," the woman behind the trolley said softly smiling at Kate and Bill who had fallen asleep in a matter of minutes. When they got off the train Kate was still sleeping so Bill had slid her onto his back and began to look for his parents who should be there. When his mother saw him she screamed and ran at him. "Careful Mum I have special luggage today," he said with a smile. That's when Mrs. Weasley noticed the small sleeping girl on her son's back. "Who is that Bill? She can't go to Hogwarts she's to young," she said pondering as she stared at the child. "This is Kate, she lives at Hogwarts. She had never really gone outside that area so she wanted to come with us... and we might have said yes without your permission.," Bill said while Charlie and Percy stood behind him. Suddenly Kate woke up, rubbed her eyes and began to look around. "Bill! Bill! We're here! We're here! We're here! Rider we're here!" the little girl shouted excitedly. Mrs. Weasley looked at the girl strangely but smiled at her again anyway. Then they went to their house and Kate played with Ron and Ginny. The twins enjoyed playing with her as well so that summer was the best they had, had in awhile.
~End of Memory~
He nodded his head at the little girl who was pulling on his hand trying to get him to move faster which wasn't really working. "Urgh... come on or you're going to be late for Sevey's class and you know he'll be angry," Kate said pulling harder even though they were right next to the class. Sitting through Snape's class was difficult for most of the Griffindors because Snape really couldn't stand them, Kate had never understood why though. She thought that all the houses were amazing in their own ways. She was sitting next to Bill listening to Snape lecture on whatever that lesson was. Bill wasn't exactly happy to have this as his last class but he was glad that Kate was there because whoever she sat with Snape wouldn't yell at for the day. Her auburn hair was slightly wavy from having the girls from the Hufflepuff house braid her hair. She also had hazel eyes which suited her quite well. "Class dismissed make sure you have notes for your test tomorrow," Snape said in his monotone voice. Bill shot up and quickly gathered his papers. Kate stood up and stretched and gathered her notes, even though this was a seventh year class she still insisted on at least trying to do the work from the classes that she followed people into. Usually she could do the work and she did exceptional in potions considering that she was almost always with professor Snape at the end of the day before bed.
~Timeskip - Last Day~
Today was Bill's last day and in two years it would be Charlie's last year. Kate looked at him with puppy dog eyes and he knew what she wanted. He stooped down to her level and picked her up throwing her into the air. Her laughs and smile made him want to join in with her. "Hey Bill can I come with you and Charlie and Percy to your home this summer? I really liked everyone the last time and I think they liked me... so do you think I could?" Kate said smiling at him as big as she could. He nodded since the twins would be sorted next year he was sure that she'd be ok without him. After packing all his luggage he went to make sure that Kate coming with him and his brothers was alright with the headmaster. He knocked on the door to the office then he heard yelling. "Kate what will happen if your father finds you? When he left you here he was a different person! He's back and think what'll happen to the Wesaleys if he finds you with them? He'll kill them! You cannot chance going out of the castle anymore unless one of the professors is with you," Snape said as a cry began, "I am truly sorry Kate we just have to make sure your safe," Dumbledore's voice finished. "I... I know... we have to... make sure my.... friends are safe too," she said trying not to cry. Bill quickly jogged down the stairs. 'Who was her father? How would he be able to kill us our parents and me and Charlie know magic. Who is he?' Bill sat there and thought for a minute and didn't notice that Kate was coming down the stairs. "Bill I'm sorry I can't go with you," she said beginning to sob. He held her close and ran his fingers through her hair saying that it was ok. When her sobbing ceased he looked at her and smiled. Kate was passed out sleeping silently. Since he couldn't give her the last words he wanted to say he decided to write a letter and leave it with her.
Dear Kate,
This was my last year at Hogwarts and I know I'll miss you, so I'm sure you will most likely miss me as well. It will all be alright because Fred and George are coming next year so be happy. I will try to visit during the summers if I am aloud. You made my years here fun and enjoyable even in potions though in truth I hated the class. Thank you for being there and for being my friend from the beginning.
Sincerely,
Bill Weasely
