The light of the sun shining through the window on that August morning woke Katherine. The girl had always been a bit of an early riser, as opposed to her two friends, who were still very much asleep (Loxley was drooling onto her pillow and Angelica was snoring softly). Katherine rubbed her eyes and grabbed her glasses off of the bedside table, rolling out of the bed and making sure not to step on her Himalayan cat, Darwin.
The Leakey Cauldron wasn't exactly an ideal place to be living in for the summer, but it their predicament wasn't ideal either and their options were quite limited. They had all gotten through their O.W.L.s and were now officially expelled from Ilvermorny. Annie had followed up on her word and they were to be attending Hogwarts this September. On the bright side, the Leaky Cauldron was right between the wizarding world and the No-Maj world, so the three girls could easily switch between regular British sight-seeing and learning about magic. And anyways, it's not like any of them could afford any better, even if they had disowned her after this whole debacle. Well, Loxley probably could, coming from a rich, pure-blood obsessed family, but she refused to be separated from her friends, who were both too stubborn and prideful to let her pay their ways. Katherine was used to not having much, what with having no parents and only one of her three siblings working, they never had much to go on. And Angelica had already been excommunicated from her Jewish family, who already hated her for being both a witch and gay. But unlike Loxley, she didn't know her family's vault number.
Katherine quickly threw on some jeans and a bra on, keeping on the same comfy shirt she slept in on (it smelled good enough). She washed her face and her teeth and ran a brush through her short, blonde hair before walking downstairs and getting some coffee and a small breakfast. She read through the morning paper called The Daily Prophet and saw that the Quidditch World Cup was today – as if she didn't already know. She had been the Seeker and Quidditch captain for the Horned Serpents and fancied herself as a major Quidditch enthusiast. She had already gotten a radio to listen to the match commentary with.
After finishing her rather large cup of coffee and clearing her plate, she ran back upstairs to wake up her two friends.
"Get up losers!"
Loxley groaned and buried her face into the pillow and Angelica didn't even stir. She'd always been a deep sleeper.
"Up and at 'em, soldiers! We have a whole day of school shopping ahead of us and we need to get a head start so we can be back in time to listen to the World Cup!"
Loxley mumbled into her pillow what Katherine believed was a "Five more minutes." Angelica sat up on the bed pushing her unruly curls out of her freckly face, though she had a vacant expression that suggested she wasn't completely aware of what she was doing.
Katherine walked over to Loxley's bed and sat on the girl causing her to lift her head from the pillow just to tell Katherine to leave her alone. The blonde proceeded to stand up and pull the covers from Loxley's bed.
