Katey Potter: Book 1 (Revised and Edited version)

We're Caught!

May 1-2, 1992 Katey age 11.
"Hey, Ron." Katey greeted her friend and brother tiredly the Friday morning just one day after Ron has been bitten. Katey glanced from one to the other and back again. "What's wrong?" The girl looked slightly more awake as she noticed Harry's worried expression and Ron's panicked one.

"My hand." Ron said. "It's green."

"It's what?" Katey asked. "Let me see it." Ron quickly offered the injured hand to Katey as Hermione joined the group.

"Merlin." Katey groaned. So much for not getting caught. The girl thought to herself.

"Oh, Merlin." Hermione gasped.

"Come on, Ron. Let's get you to Madam Pomphrey." Katey ordered.

"I" Ron started to protest.

"Don't you even think about arguing with me, Ronald Weasley." Katey glared at him. "I mean it. If you so much as argue with me, not only will I drag you there by your ear, I will tell my dad that you where bitten by a dragon."

"She definitely will, Mate." Harry said quietly. "Katey and I will go with you. Right, Kat?"

"Definitely, Harry." The girl nodded at her twin. "Hermione," Kateyturned to her friend. "Harry and I will see you at breakfast, unless you'd like to come with us?"

"Alright, I'll go with you guys." Hermione nodded.

"Great!" Harry said. "Let's go." The four of them hurried to the Hospital wing, and soon had Ron in the safe hands of Madam Pomphrey. "So, how long do you think until Dad corners us?" Harry looked at his twin as the three of them made their way to the Great Hall.

"Well, you'd better hope that Dad doesn't corner us." Katey told her twin. "Because if he does, I will personally kick your backside after Dad is done roasting mine with the hairbrush for risking my neck and lying."

"Be serious."

"Fine! We have until after Potions if he even does."

Harry nodded as Hermione looked confused. "What do you mean, if?"

"There's a good chance that Madam Pomphrey won't buy Ron's excuse." Harry said. "And, if that happens, then she could report it to Grandpa Albus."

"Meaning that the three of us could be summoned to Grandpa Albus' office." Katey said.

"Which means that we will be expelled." Hermione moaned. "Oh, dear sweet-"

"Hermione." Harry said.

"Merlin." Hermione continued as if she hadn't heard Harry.

"Hermione." Harry said again.

"I can't go back home." Hermione panicked.

"Hermione!" Harry exclaimed.

"What?" Hermione asked "Oh, what am I going to do?"

"Hermione." Katey said. "I want you to look at me and take a deep breath." Hermione did so. "Relax." Katey assured her. "Grandpa Albus hasn't expelled a student since Harry and I have known him."

"He hasn't?"

"No, Hermione." Harry said. "So you can relax."

"Katey? What did you make of the forgetfulness potion?" Hermione asked her friend as they left the Potions classroom that afternoon. Snape had spent the first hour having them practice brewing a Cure for Boils potion and then the next hour lecturing them on the properties of the forgetfulness potion, a somewhat complicated potion that they had a three foot essay over due next week.
