"Katrina, you have a visitor." 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgVCTZW6Ho
I turned my head towards the door as I heard Mrs. Templeton's voice coming up the stairs. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53AcOJbMeT
"Though why anyone in their right mind would want to see you is beyond me." 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuEyKpp9Fn
I simply ignored her words as I focused on the doorway, eager to see who had come to see me. I never get visitors. Ever. I lowered my head and let my wavy brown hair fall down and create a curtain to hide behind. The door slowly creaked open and two pairs of feet entered the room.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOziaVmvpK
"Hello, Katrina dear."465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox09vQYWpw
"Hello" I mumbled with a quick glance to Mrs. Templeton before continuing to stare at the floor.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m1qgSbdl2
"Mrs. Templeton, you can leave now." My head shot up at the sudden icy tone in the stranger's voice.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMpVPhkJ4R
"Wow, I've never heard anyone speak that way to her before!" I exclaimed in surprise. My eyes widened as I took in the strange emerald-green robes the lady was wearing. "Who are you?"465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2FLuvT36x
"My name is Professor McGonagall."465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJaEElmZIR
"Am I in trouble?" I whispered. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCtqiAU0BX
"Of course not, dear! Whatever for?" 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOahRlBf6C
"I accidentally set the stove on fire while cooking everyone dinner the other night." I felt my face redden with embarrassment. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2mIwuKaNO
"Well no, that is certainly not why I am here. Though that will be something we will have to address once you have arrived."465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcGmQqrV4t
"Arrived? Arrived where?" My eyebrows furrowed in confusion.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgRUHpLMne
"Hogwarts of course!"465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaUA8oP3BL
"What's a Hogwarts?" I tilted my head slightly to the left as I continued to observe the strange lady standing before me. None of her words were making any sense. I pinched my arm. Yup, I'm awake I thought to myself.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDx500zmny
"Oh, right, of course. Silly me, I forgot you have no clue what I'm talking about..." I frowned as I noticed her eyes mist over and a distant expression came over her face. I caught the faint words, "no memory..." escape her lips but I wasn't completely sure I'd heard correctly so I pretended not to notice and coughed loudly. She came back with a quick startled shake of the head and stared down at me.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvfik0tfDv
"This letter should help explain." She said curtly as I was handed an envelope.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWTJ1ZEhOJ

I looked up at lady in astonishment. "Is this a joke?" I whispered in fear. I wanted it to be true so badly; it would explain all the weird things that had been going on, but Liza and the other girls here were always finding new ways to play mean tricks on me. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVvgFuTHC6
"No, my dear, it is not." 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtMYMv1DMF
"What happens now then...P-P-Professor?" I stammered.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhqSxR6E4m
"Why we go and collect your new things, of course! Oh, and dear, when it's just us, please feel free to call me Minerva." She said smiling down at me.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvZ7EdTNBY
I furrowed my brows again as a name suddenly popped up out of the foggy depths of my memory. "Can...can I call you Minnie? I don't know why, but it just...just seems...right?" I said hesitantly.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2pMv9OWRd
"Oh, my dear one, I would absolutely love that. It's been years since I last heard that nickname." Once again I saw her eyes mist over and I reached out and squeezed her hand as I smiled comfortingly. "You can call me Kat, in return if you'd like." Her face brightened as she returned my smile.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKl6psR0iP
"So where do we go to get all this stuff mentioned?" I pulled out the list and glanced it over. "My goodness, that's a lot of equipment!" 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXgbiet7N3
"Diagon Alley, of course! But unfortunately, I have to get back to the school so you will be meeting up with Hagrid. He is taking another new student to get his things as well. He was also raised by muggles, so I'm sure you guys can find something in common to talk about."465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qB1Ft8krM
"Muggles?" I said in confusion.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDFfe9yYUY
"Non-magic folk." She said simply. "Now hold onto my hand very tightly, Kat." I gripped her hand harder as she spun us around and I felt a tugging sensation in my stomach. I closed my eyes as I struggled to fight the rising nausea. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3fEokx79J
"You can open your eyes now, Kat." 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtax92avXKf
My eyes widened in shock as I saw that we were no longer standing in my small attic room. Instead, we know faced a corner shop that had a sign danging over the door that read, "The Leaky Cauldron".465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEVKZqauBc
My eyes flew to Minnie's and she grinned down at my shocked expression. "But...how..."465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfZ356nOqV
"Magic, my dear little Kat, magic." She said slyly.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1iLz4tmgi
Before I could think of anything else to say, she glanced behind me a gave a shout.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS0IWnGXHv
"Ah, Hagrid! I see you made it safely. Were there any problems?"465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f7ms06BkH
"Nothin' I couldn't handle, Professor" I heard a booming voice say from over my shoulder. I slowly turned around and gazed up, and up, and up, and up. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t4UC38dOE
"Blimey, your gigantic!" I said without thinking. I clapped my hands over my mouth. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to be rude!" 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxuPbArjrk
"Nothin' t worry bout' my dear, nothin' t worry bout'. You must be Katrina! I'm Hagrid. Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. An' this o'course is Harry." He said with a chuckle as he shoved a scrawny boy my age out from behind him. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjkarz1yIC
"Um...hello, Harry. Nice to meet you." I said nervously as I looked at the boy before me. He looked to be my age and had messy black hair and startling green eyes that peered back at me through round glasses. I noticed a curious lightning shaped scar on his forehead but decided it would be impolite to ask about it so soon.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVDpCLMZel
"Nice to meet you to, Katrina." He said giving me a small smile back. 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Me2jjdQvO
"Well, I really should be getting back to the school. Have fun you two, but remember to behave for Hagrid and not to wander far!" She said giving us a stern look before turning on the spot and disappearing. Harry and I stood staring at the spot where she had been until we heard Hagrid shout for us to come along. I blushed and murmured a quick thank you as Harry rushed to open the door for me then followed behind as I stepped into the Leaky Cauldron.
