Chapter 11

I was walking back to the Gryffindor common room, when Andrew came right out of a classroom and crashed into me. I muttered an apology, and helped him clean up his books. Then he gasped. I looked at him in alarm, only to find that he was staring at me in horror.

"Cathy, your hair is pink. Like it just suddenly turned pink. I swear it was brown a minute ago" I felt my eyes widen as I grabbed a lock of my hair, sure enough, it was a pale pink. I got up and ran to the hospital wing. When I burst in through the large oak doors, Madam Pomfry walked out of her office. She sighed when she saw me. She led me over to one of the beds, and made me sit down.

"Wait here while I go and call Nymphadora." I realized that I was shaking.

"But what's happening to me?!" She smiled at me.

"All will be revealed in time." She went into her office immediately. The air in front of me shimmered, and an IM appeared. Opps, I had forgotten about the demigod world. I saw the council of the gods in front of me. Apollo stood up, and walked towards me.

"Catherine Granger, you, and the other demigods at Hogwarts, will have to come to camp early, I will pick you all up when the time comes. It won't be for awhile, right before your exams at the latest. Do not tell any of them. It has to do with Luke." I felt tears in my eyes when Apollo mentioned Luke.

"My lord, how-" The IM disappeared. I realized that I had gotten up, and sat back down as Madam Pomfry came out of her office.

"Well dear, Nymphadora will be here soon. You will just have to be a little patient." She looked a little flustered. I frowned.

"But what's going on with me? Why did my hair change color? Why does an Aunor have to come? Just tell me what's going on and then fix it! I don't want to be a, a, a freak!" Tears were running down my face as my voice started to rise.

"What is fudging happening to me, what is happening to everyone? All I hear are riddles and mixed up things, nothing makes sense, and nobody will give me a straight answer!" My body was shacking from the sobbing, my hair was sticking to my cheeks, was it a dark red? The doors of the hospital wing opened. A boy who looked like he was my age, entered. He looked a lot like Luke, even the same sandy brown hair. The only difference was the age, and that he was built a little stronger than Luke. Madam Pomfry turned to him. The boy looked awfully upset. Madam Pomfry had the boy sit down, her expression was one of regret.

"I am sincerely sorry Mr. Bell, but your sister has been moved to St. Mungos. You will not be able to visit her until the holidays." Madam Pomfry handed the boy a piece of paper, and walked into her office. The boy smiled at me quickly before turning to the paper that he had received. After a bit of silence, he looked up at me.

"Hey, I'm Kevin Bell. Katie Bell's half-brother. First year Hufflepuff." He got up and walked over to me. "Who are you?" I bit my lip hesitantly.

"I'm Catherine Granger, but call me Cathy. I'm a first year Gryffindor." Kevin sat on the bed next to me.

"What go you landed in the hospital wing?" His mouth was turning into a smirk. I sighed.

"A potion gone wrong in class." I glanced up. He looked a little surprised.

"So you are the one who is the subject of the big fight! The whole school has split themselves up according to friends and houses. Most of the Ravenclaw house thinks that you were really dumb as to not get out of the way. Slytherin is split in two, as is Gryffindor. Hufflepuff house is kinda neutral for now." I jumped up in alarm.

"What? Alex is the one who messed up that easy potion! She should have been being careful! I didn't even know that it had been messed up until Caleb realized. He only got out of the way, cause he had seen it first! And I am pretty sure that Ravenclaw people know that she isn't nearly as good in classes as I am! I thought Ravenclaw valued cleverness and being smart! Apparently they are not what I always admired them for! I can't believe tha-" Kevin stopped me from continuing on. I pushed his hand away and was about to protest, but he beat me to the cut.

"You go on about things really repeatedly. Slow down and take your time. Jez." I glared at him. Kevin burst out laughing. The doors to the hospital wing opened quickly, and a young woman came in. She wore a bewildered expression on her face.

"What in Merlin's name is going on here?" Kevin stopped laughing, and his face turned bright red. The woman tutted.

"How many boys do you have visiting you Catherine? First that Hansen boy, the Malfoy boy, the Higgs boy, now this one. I am sorry young man, but I need to talk to Catherine in private for a minute." Kevin smiled and left the hospital wing. "Oh Catherine, what are we going to do with you?" She grinned. I, on the other hand, had no idea what she meant. Her expression turned serious. "I don't really know how to break it to you nicely, so I'm just going to tell you." I waited as she explained the affects of the potion. When she was done, I was dismissed from the hospital wing. I walked out of the hospital wing. I found Kevin waiting right outside the doors.

"I don't mean to pry, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. But, what did you find out?" His expression was curious. I took a deep breath, and let out the thought that was bouncing around my head.

"I am a Metamorphous. Why is it ALWAYS me?"
