The Shifter and The Weasley

Chapter 14

"I'm sorry sir but they need to stay with me, Dumbledores orders" Katherine said loudly, Moody turned to look at her before walking off grumbling about going to speak to Dumbledore. When he was out of sight Katherine turned to the twins, "don't you boys think it weird how Moody always wants to talk to either me or Harry?" but before any of them had the chance to answer a voice sounded behind them.

"Is there any reason you three are lurking in a corridor" McGonagall asked, making Katherine scream and her wings burst out in fright.

"Bloody hell Mins, your going to be the death of me" Katherine stated putting her hand on her heart, fold your wings away Katherine, Katherine jumped again at Athenas voice and pulled he wings back in, not even a full minute later she could hear the familiar clunk of Moody rushing down the corridor.

"I'm sorry Kathy, but when you three are lurking somewhere, trouble and chaos are sure to follow" McGonagall said staring pointedly at the twins.

"What's going on, I heard screaming" Moody voice came.

"Sorry Alastor, I just startled Katherine, that's all, now if you'll excuse me" McGonagall started to walk off but Moody apparently wasn't done.

"Actually Professor McGonagall, I wanted a quiet word with Miss Willow without her bodyguards, but she told me that they have to be with her a all times, is that correct?" Moody asked, Katherine almost scoffed at the lengths he was going to, she caught Minnie's eye and sent her a pleading look.

"That's correct, it's a direct order from Dumbledore" McGonagall replied curtly. Katherine silently thanked her before grabbing the twins and running off in the opposite direction as McGonagall bid goodbye to Moody.

"Yeah Kat, its weird" Fred panted out.

After Rita Skeeters article about Harry hit the daily prophet Katherine had been hexing people daily, for weeks. People were getting really nasty, and it was beginning to grate on her nerves, however what did keep her going was the fact that she was going to speak to Sirius in the common room fire, she still had to kick his arse but Harry needed him right now.

Katherine was sitting with the dragons, she was sat with the Hungarian Horntail just humming quietly to herself when suddenly the dragons started screaming, Katherine jumped up and brought out her wings to hover over the top of he dragon tamers before landing quietly behind them.

"Might I suggest you stop pulling on her chains like she's a feral dog and treat her with the respect she deserves" Katherine said sharply making the tamers jump, she walked passed them and placed a hand on the dragons snout, this one was a Chinese Firebolt, she was such a gentle soul and they were frightening her.

"I think we know what we're doing thanks" One of them said, which earnt a laugh from Charlie who was close by.

"Hmm, I'm sure you do" Katherine hummed before looking back at the dragon and calming her into a sleep, "and that gentleman is how its done" she said smugly before heading back to the Horntail.

"You walked into that one mate" Charlie muttered as he walked passed the two and to Katherine who was sat with the Horntail, and because of Katherine the dragons found Charlies presence tolerable. "What's Hagrid doing here, and who's that woman he's with?" Charlie asked as Katherine snapped her head up.

"Madam Maxime, who is currently breaking the rules, give me a moment" Katherine said taking off into the sky and landing quietly behind Hagrid and Maxime. "Hagrid, Madam Maxime, are you not currently breaking the rules set out by Mr Crouch and Mr Bagman?" Katherine asked politely.

"Why does it matter?" Maxime asked glaring at the small girl in front of her, Katherine laughed at the attempts of intimidation.

"Intimidation does not work on me Madam, and it matters because you were the one who fought for them rules when Harrys name was drawn from the cup. And also your upsetting the dragons". Katherine smiled sweetly before taking off into the sky again and landing back with the Horntail. "I better head back to the school Charlie, George will be getting worried" she spoke, giving Charlie a hug and bidding him goodnight, she flew off to the castle, landing in the courtyard she quickly put her wings away and ran up to Gryffindor Tower.

"Georgie!" She called as she ran through the portrait hole and dived on him.

"Hey KitKat, how are the dragons?" he asked as he wrapped her in his arms.

"Frightened, they have nesting mothers and its distressing" Katherine sighed out as she lay he head on George's shoulder. "I'm tired Georgie, can I stay with you?" she asked.

"Of course, go get into your pyjamas and meet me outside the entrance to the boys dorms" He said, kissing her head and letting her get up. She jumped up and ran off upstairs, returning to the entrance of the boys dorms about 10 minutes later, George picked her up and carried her into his dorm, as soon as her feet hit the floor she went and dived on George's bed, none of the others had come up yet so they had the dorm to themselves. George climbed into bed beside Katherine.

She looked up and placed a small kiss on his neck, which in turn made him growl a little at her.

"Don't start something you wont finish Katherine" George mumbled, his voice coming out a little bit deeper than usual.

"Why not?" Katherine asked with a little smirk.

"You drive me wild Katherine Willow" George said dipping down to kiss her. Which in turn caused Katherine to let out a small whimper.

And that's how George and Katherine spent the rest of their night.
