Chapter 2
(From now on, we're going to be switching between Katrina's POV and James' POV.)
(Katrina's POV)
"Kitty Kat, where are you going on this fine Saturday morning?"
'Ah shit, I've been spotted.' I thought as I froze. James Potter, esteemed dirtbag, would not leave me alone. Ever since 3rd year, he constantly bothered me, whether at Quidditch practice or in the common room. In that moment, I was trying to sneak down to the Great Lake with Lily. Of course, he saw us.
"Hello, Potter." I sighed, turning around to look him in the eye.
"Hello Love. Where are you going? To our wedding perhaps, I'll make a wonderful husband." He replied, smirking at me. There was no denying he was handsome. But, usually, that was disguised by his unrelenting pigheadedness.
The feeling of an egg being cracked over my head happened. I knew my hair was purple.
"The day I get married to you is the day Xenophilius Lovegood finds a crumple-horned Snorkack." I retorted, climbing out of the portrait hole. Lily was standing with her arms crossed.
"Potter?" She asked.
"Do I even need to answer that question?" I replied, running a hand through my now brown hair. Brown meant I was frustrated.
We reached the lake without a further disruption. I pulled off my socks and shoes. It was early October and it had yet to get cold. Actually, it was a scorching 30 degrees Celsius. "I don't want this weather to go away..." I sighed, feeling the sun on my skin. I love the summer. It's the only time of year that makes me happy.
"Lils, let's go swimming." I said, sitting up. After a minute of struggling with my jeans, I stood in my favorite swimsuit. It was dusty purple. Dusty purple was the color my hair turned when I was drunk, but I still loved it. I started wading into the water.
All the sudden, something pushed me into the water completely. This water was cold. I surfaced, sputtering. It was a spell, cast by none other than Sirius Black. He stood by a tree with his wand in his hand, crying from laughing so hard. I was pissed. "Lils, wand me!" Lily threw my wand to me
"Expelliarmus!" I shouted, Black's wand was knocked from his hand. "Alarte Ascendare!" I drew an arc with my wand. The next thing that happened was glorious. Sirius Black, flew through the air, like a bird, before landing, SMACK, in the water. It was our turn to laugh. "Hey, Kat, ya ever see such an ugly bird?" Lily asked, recovering for a second. "No, I don't believe I have Lily, maybe it was a dodo bird!" We broke into another fit of giggles. Black, meanwhile, was making his way out of the water, his clothes soaking. "Have a nice swim, Black?" I asked, grinning like a cat.
He sneered. "Brilliant, ya know my mom's gonna kill me right? This was a new shirt."
I snickered, "Now, that doesn't seem like my problem. Lily, let's go. I have to practice for tomorrow's match." I was a beater on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. People say I'm one of the best in years, I don't disagree. The only downside to this team was one James Potter. He was a Chaser, and a damn good one at that. He could score from 5 yards away without breaking a sweat, and I had to protect him while he did so.
That night, Lily, our friend Alice Prewett, and I sat by the fire doing a report for Charms. The common room was quiet, no one else was there. It was peaceful, just for a little while...
