Chapter 8: An Unexpected Meeting

"I still can't take out my wand without someone ducking or running away. It's starting to get annoying. To make things worse, Rita Skeeter started following me around the other day asking to talk to me. I don't need her writing things about me and my family."

"Yeah, at least she's not making stuff up." Harry grumbled. "I'm fourteen, not twelve!"

It had been a hard day for everyone, and now the first task was days away. Ron and Harry were still not talking because of their fight the night the names were pulled out of the goblet, and Kati, hadn't spent much time with Ron, who had taken Fred's side after their short breakup. Now, though, she decided to talk to him.

"I'm going to go take a walk, okay? I'll see you later." Kati spotted Ron, walking out of the Great Hall and ran to catch up to him.

"Ron, can we talk?"

Without looking a her, he answered. "What are you doing? Getting ready to break my brother's heart again? Why don't you go back to Harry. You obviously like him more than me."

Kati grabbed his arm. "I know what's going on."

"No, you really don't." He jerked his arm away but she held on tight.

"You're jealous of Harry. You feel as though he is getting all of the attention and he is just so amazing. You feel second best to him and you hate that because you always feel second best to your brothers and now you feel as though you've been cheated." His frame shrunk and she could tell his shoulders were shaking but she continued.

"Harry is your best friend and you will never be second best to him. That's what a best friend is. It's the person you go to when you don't have anyone else to go to. Besides," She laid a hand on his shoulder. "There is no one like you. You're one of a kind."

He turned around, a slight smile on his face. "Thanks, Kati. Do you want to go down to Hogsmeade with me?"

"Sure. I told Fred and George I would meet them there anyway." They headed out the Entrance Hall and down to the village.

"It will be alright. Don't worry. This can't last forever." Kati nudged his arm, making him smile.

"I was going to say the same for you." He said grimly as a group passed them, whispering insults.

"Oi! Shut up you!" He startled them and they ran past, giggling.

" You really don't have to do that. Honestly, as long as you, Fred, George, Harry, and Hermione know the truth, and are still my friends, I really couldn't care less." She smiled.

"Yeah, he flexed his arms out in front of him. "We're still friends. I have to admit my brother was a right wanker doing what he did to you."

Hogsmeade happened to be Kati's favorite place on earth, and walking down the crowded street with Ron made it even better. They headed toward the Three Broomsticks where they met Fred, who greeted Kati with a kiss, George, and Lee Jordan, and the five of them grabbed a booth.

"I'll go get the drinks." Kati walked to the counter "Five butterbeers please."

"Down from Hogwarts?" A man was sitting next to her at the bar. He had grey hair, bright, wide brown eyes, and a thin face. Somehow he seemed familiar.

"Yeah. First one of the year." She waved her wand and floated four of the butterbeers to her friends, who took them, looking back at her with incredulous looks.

"That was quite brave." The stranger commented. "I assume you are underage."

"I'm kind of immune. My last name keeps me from being arrested or anything. It's the curse and the privilege of my family." She took out her last bar of Honeydukes chocolate and started sucking on the end.

"This may seem intrusive, but is your name by chance Katlina Lupin?" He asked, looking at her as if he was seeing a ghost.

She was stunned. "Why do you ask?" Kati looked around the pub suspiciously. Draco Malfoy was sitting by the window alone, sipping his drink while glancing out the window. Hermione was slipping a drink under the table to whom she assumed was Harry under his cloak, avoiding Ron. She wanted to go back to her friends, but this man was intriguing, and she didn't want to be rude by excusing herself.

"Oh, I didn't mean it like that, it's just, the chocolate reminded me of my son as well as the book bag. He never left the house without it. My name, is Lyall Lupin and my son is Remus Lupin."

She almost dropped her chocolate and fell off the chair she was sitting on in shock. It couldn't be. Remus had told her that his parents were dead but the more she looked at him, the more she saw the resemblances in his face and his mannerisms. They had the same brown eyes, the way he presented himself, and she suspected the grey hair had once been a soft brown, just like his son.

"I... You're my grandfather?" She asked dumbfounded.

A bright, wide smile broke out across his face that made him look years younger and every line disappeared from his aged face. That smile, reminded her of days when she was younger, and it was just her and Remus and there weren't the worries of today.

Kate stood from her stool at the bar and gave him a hug, gripping tightly and inhaling the scent of pipe tobacco and old books.

He was an intelligent man, and she felt closer to Remus the more they talked. He told her stories of her father's youth, and some from his Hogwarts days.

"I knew he was in love with Sirius, and his mother and I couldn't have been happier when they had you. It was as though the world was coming together." He sipped his drink. "That wasn't going to last long. I haven't seen you since you were only a few months old. Your mother was a great woman, it's a shame she died in childbirth. I can clearly see though, Remus did an excellent job raising such a bright young lady." He reached for her hand.

"Would you like to meet my boyfriend?" She asked. He smiled and nodded.

"Fred, come here for a moment." He jogged over to where they were.

"Fred Weasley, my grandfather." They shook hands.

"Weasley eh? Arthur Weasley's boy? He's a good man." The hours passed and soon it was time for her to go back to the castle, which she did slowly, taking her time. She had someone else to write to after everything. She also had someone to write when she got back to the tower. A father that had a lot of explaining to do.

On her way up to the school however, she ran into the last person she ever wanted to see. A woman wearing green and her trademark sequined glasses. Rita Skeeter.

"Well, hello Ms. Black, what a coincidence running into you here. Might I ask for a moment of your time?" She asked in that high pitched voice that made Kati want to vomit.

"No, you can't. It's almost curfew and I need to get back to the castle." She started walking back.

"Okay, but be sure to look at the newspaper tomorrow morning. There might be a surprise waiting for you." She said in a singsong voice.

Kati turned around to confront her but she had disappeared.


There was no sleeping that night, only to find the next morning that Harry had discovered the first task to be Dragons and that he had talked to Sirius the night before, and a new article from Rtia Skeeter, as promised.

SIRIUS BLACK'S LEGITIMATE SPAWN SEEN AT HOGWARTS: MINISTER SAID TO TAKE ACTION

"What is this?" Kati demanded. "I did not ask for this to happen!"

"So now the whole world knows." Harry shrugged. "There could be worse things."

"Yeah, not likely. At least there was no mention of Sirius." She slammed the paper onto the table.

"You talked to your grandfather yesterday?" Hermione asked, attempting to change the subject as they sat in the library, trying to find something to help Harry survive the first task.

Grateful for the distraction, she replied. "Yeah, it was great, but I wonder why Remus would keep him from me. I mean, his mother died years ago, but he never contacted his father." Kati took another book down off the shelf and rifled through it.

"Maybe it's because he's a werewolf who deserves nothing but death." A drawling voice echoed from behind them.

Kati clenched her fists. "What would you know about that Draco? Been cozy with Fenrir Greyback? He's not exactly the standard when it comes to the stigma that are werwolves."

"Oh, because a teacher is an appropriate stigma for a werewolf." He stepped closer. Because a teacher who could go wild once a month and kill everyone in the castle. That is just what a werewolf should be known for." He rolled his eyes.

"Shut up Malfoy and leave us alone." Harry snapped so forcefully, people started staring, and Draco left them alone for the time being.

Something hit her head at that moment and she picked it up off of the ground. It was a note written in curly handwriting.

Leave Hogwarts or Else.

Now she was getting death threats? This was insane. It wasn't as though she didn't know these were coming. She simply didn't think they would be in the form of paper notes thrown at her head. She suspected it to come face to face. Then again, this was Hogwarts.

"What is he doing here? Why can't he just keep to his stupid ship?" Victor Krum was sitting a table away, followed by his gang of giggling girls.

"Maybe he's researching for the first task." Kati suggested. "I wouldn't worry about it. If I didn't know better, I would think you actually liked the guy."

Hermione looked horrified. "Of course I don't like him! He's dull as a rock and as smart as one to boot it! I'm not attracted to that!"

"Whatever you say, Hermione." She rolled her eyes.
