             he sighed,  trying not to come off as annoyed,  but it just wasn’t that simple.  ❛ maybe that’s how it works in gryffindor.  but every other slytherin is in the same boat i am right now.  all of us are just waiting for the day when our parents disappear for good.  we rebel,  and we’re signing the death warrants for our families.  even i can’t do that. ❜   for as difficult as it was to live under nott sr,  theodore couldn’t turn his back on his own blood so easily.  he’d tried.  he’d tried to stay away from draco,  since the malfoys were in even deeper.   ( he found draco to be sometimes irritating,  too,  but that was another story. )    he’d tried to keep his head down.  it was never enough.   ❛ i can’t join you,  katie.  he knows everything we do.  i shouldn’t even be talking to you. ❜

    “Is that all you ever want to be, Theo? A slytherin?” She understood that this was difficult for him, even when she would never be in the same situation as him, never would experience what he was going through. “This is more than about school, we can’t just defy ourselves by our houses for the rest of our lives even if we did make friends there who basically became our family. Yes, it matters, but it’s not all.” Katie took a step closer, feeling desperate, as she couldn’t control the situation and that frustrated her. “I’m sure we can find a way to protect your family. We have spies, I’m not asking you to risk your life like that, but it’s a possibility...” The blonde pushes her hair behind her ear. “Yet you are and that makes me believe you actually do want my help.”

   She opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it again, just to open it again a few seconds later. Repeating the whole thing over and over again. “So... let me recap this... What you’re all telling me is that you’re Harry’s godfather? And you never tried to kill him? And you didn’t actually kill your ex best friend, but he was Ron’s rat the whole time?! Is that what you are saying?” Katie just recently joined the Order of Phoenix slowly learning the truth about some things... and meeting Sirius for the first time. “I think I’m developing a headache.”

     “Oh Neville, don’t tell me you forgot the password again?” She would have suggested for him to write it down, but they both knew how that ended last time. Even though this time there wasn’t a murderer on the run, one shouldn’t tempt fate, right? Though sometimes Katie wasn’t sure if Professor Umbridge isn’t worse as Sirius Black. “Good thing we are in the same club.” Katie winked at him - Dumbledore’s Army was a secret that they shared. The blonde turned towards the portait of the Fat Lady. “Hello Lizzie, how is your evening?” In her first year at Hogwarts she grew tired of calling the portrait simple the Fat Lady, especially since it didn’t seem nice, so every now and then she tried out new names for her seeing which one she liked the most. She never let her tell her real name, hoping that one day she would figure it out on her own.

I want some threads in Katie’s fourth year at Hogwarts (takes time during the 3rd book), just so I can use my tag. Because honestly v: sirius black stole my homework is like one of my best works as far as tags go.

        theodore chewed his lower lip,  visibly frustrated.  not just at her,  but everything around him  ー  his father,  the dark lord,  this stupid looming war that would only decimate both sides.  and for what?  one little sliver on a map of the world?  what a goddamn waste of life this was going to be.  ❛ you don’t.  you really don’t,  katie.  your parents love you.  your parents don’t see you as breeding stock for the next generation of pureblood wizardry. ❜   he couldn’t keep the sarcasm from his voice.  muggleborn,  halfblood,  pureblood  ー  what difference did it make?  he’d probably never even meet a muggle,  and wizardkind was wizardkind.  he didn’t care.  ❛ if i stay…  and if the dark lord wins…   that’s what i’ve got to look forward to.  and i have it good. ❜    

    Who would have thought that the day would come when she would desperately try to convince Theodore of his own worth and that he could forge his own path, write his own story. “No, you’re right about that. I grew up in a very different family than you did. But you forget that you have two other families. One of them being your fellow Slytherins and the other, which is even more important, are your friends. Your father? He is the family you have been born into. Slytherin is the family that chose you and your friends are the family you chose. So you might not grew up with loving parents, but you can have a family who supports you.” Katie shuddered at the thought of the Dark Lord winning, she didn’t even want to entertain the thought what that would mean for her. Or for anyone she cared about. “How about we make sure that doesn’t happen then?”

       couldn’t even make his eyes look over at the food she’d brought.  deep down,  he felt a surge of hot anger at the hollowness inside his chest that deafened every other impulse and and need that his body tried to communicate.  there was no thirst,  no hunger,  barely a need for sleep.  just this sickening,  black hole feeling like he was on mute in the center of a whirlpool and even if he screamed it wouldn’t matter.  he knew katie was trying to help.  he knew she’d warmed up something for him to eat.  he knew she was hurting too.  but it was hard enough to keep pulling air into his lungs and making them expel the remnants.        ❛ i’m not hungry. ❜   

   Honestly she didn’t really expect anything else. She knew the pain she felt, she saw it all around her. They won the war, but at what cost? The loss of their friends and family was lingering around, putting a heavy weight on all of them. Katie had been struggling ever since her encounter with the cursed necklace, but this situation didn’t help either. The girl found herself in the bathroom several time bent over the sink crying. While she was aware that she could show her feelings openly, she wanted to seem strong, for all of those who needed her support. Like George. “I know, but you need to eat. Not because you’re hungry, but because you need it. Just take a few bites.” He was hurting and she was ready to give him the time and anything else he needed, but she was not going to stand by and watch him destroy himself. “I can brew a potion if you want me to...” Just a few hours of peaceful sleep might be a good start towards healing.

Will I ever be not upset that they made Katie a brunette in later movies? Highly doubt it.

[courageousbell]

I realised Katie only has verses for her Hogwarts years and past that. But like... I should probs add other verses too. Perhaps a Marauders era one and certainly a modern AU. One more thing to think about.

On another note, my book came today. Harry Potter Page to Screen. It’s so heavy, but I am so excited.

          katie spoke but george didn’t give a shit to answer.  the castle was in shambles,  his face burned from open cuts and scratches and his muscles were tired and aching from running and battle and fire,  but none of that seemed to matter at all in the shadow cast by coming home alone to the burrow.  were you still a twin if you went from two to one?  did the passage of days matter if your brother was dead?  fred had laughed.  george couldn’t remember how. 

    It was exactly the reaction - or more the lack of it - that she expected, yet it hit her hard. Knowing quiet well that even if he would answer, it would be unsatisfactory, she stepped closer to put down a plate in front of him. “Look, you don’t have to say anything, it’s okay. But do me a favour and eat something. Please.” There was a gaping hole in her heart with all the losses and she was hurting. So badly. There was no way for her to comprehend how much pain George was in. Somewhat hesitantly she laid a hand on his shoulder and squeezed gently.

          ❛ you don’t know what it’s like. ❜   the odd friendship he’d struck up with the pretty blonde gryffindor chaser,  of all things,  would probably never cease to bewilder theodore.  and yet here they were.  ❛ it’s this or i let my father have his way. ❜

    “No, I don’t, but I have a damn good understanding of the situation. That should count for something.” Katie crosses her arms in front of her chest and gives him a stern look - rather unusual for her. “You really believe there is no other solution? It’s like seeing the world in black and white. That’s not how it is and you should really know that by now.”

           katie’s remark hung in the air for a moment before george finally released the scoff he’d held behind his teeth.  he wanted to hex draco for the damn necklace and only the fact that he was needed more here held him back for the moment. no doubt he and fred would find a way to get back at that spoiled little brat later on  ;  they had reason enough anyway.  for now he leaned forward thoughtfully,  elbows resting on his knees.  ❛ no one is,  kates.  i’m sorry.  hey,  want to see me eat a canary cream?  i’ll grow feathers. ❜

    Her whole body hurt and at this point she wondered if it would ever stop hurting. They gave her potions that helped with the pain and while it was better... she could still feel it. It also didn’t help that they gave her less and less with each day and when she asked why, they told her it was to slowly ease her off - they didn’t want her to get addicted. Something she could only roll her eyes at. So, whenever she had visits from friends, she always welcomed the distraction.  Especially when that distraction came from her favourite set of twins. She furrowed her eyebrows, holding back a laugh. “I’m honestly surprised you are not trying to feed me one. You’re a changed man, George Weasley.”
