" So where is your dashing lad this fine night?" George asked as him, Fred and Kai walked down the corridors of the castle.
" Training with Snape. Trying to protect his mind in case Voldemort decides he wants to play with it." Kai told them.
" Is it working?" Fred asked.
" Not nearly as much or as fast as I would hope. Trust me it's no fun to have someone play with your brain." Kai shook her head.

" Well we're happy you got to come along with us to our monthly Honeydukes outing." Fred said.
" You know what we did is basically a felony. Breaking and entering and theft." Kai told them but still took a bite out of her chocolate frog.
" I'm positive they'll recover from three chocolate frogs." Fred said.
" They always do." George nodded.
Kai chuckled and shook her head.

They heard crying and sniffling down the corridor and looked at each other concerned. They walked towards the noise and saw a little Gryffindor boy cradling is hand and crying. Immediately they all rushed to him.
" Hey, hey there sweetie. Are you okay?" Kai asked.
" Umbridge-she-she made me cut my hand." He cried.
" What's your name?" George asked.
" Micheal." He sniffed.
" Well, Micheal we got those too. And see it's already fading." Fred told him showing him his hand.

" Yeah and the pain stops after awhile." George told him.
" You are so brave Micheal. I wouldn't have been as brave as you if it was just me and Umbridge one on one." Kai told him.
" Really?" Micheal asked.
" Oh yeah, I would shaking in my boots." Kai said with a smile.
Micheal laughed a little, before sniffling again.

" I told you Mister Potter naughty children must be punished." Umbridge told him.
That when Kai and the twins realized both Harry and Umbridge had arrived. She giggled before walking away.
" You know George, I've always felt our futures lay outside the world of academic achievement." Fred said standing.
" Fred, I've been thinking exactly the same thing." George told him standing as well.

Kai looked at Harry and noticed the look he always wore when there was something on his mind.
" Do you mind taking him back to the common room?" Kai asked the twins looking over at Micheal.
" Yeah we got it. Are you alright?" Fred asked.
" Yeah I'm good, I just have to do something." Kai nodded.
" See you later Kai." George said.
" Bye guys." Kai gave them a grateful smile before walking towards Harry.

He looked up at her and gave her a small smile.
" Shall we take a walk my love?" Kai asked extended her hand to him.
" Sure." Harry said taking her hand in his.
They began walking down the corridors.
" So how was your lesson with Snape?" Kai asked.
" Um it was my last one." Harry told her.
" You finally mastered closing off your mind?" Kai asked impressed.
" Uh no actually Snape quit on me." Harry told her.

" What? He can't do that, we have to tell Dumbledore." Kai said.
" I ended up looking into Snape's mind and seeing one of his memories, that I shouldn't have seen." Harry explained.
" What was it?" Kai asked.
" It was him being teased by my dad and Padfoot." Harry told her.
Kai couldn't help but laugh.
" Sorry. But that's hilarious." Kai chuckled.

" No, it's not. What if-what if my dad was a bad person Kai? I've idolize him for so long, and what if it turns out I was admiring someone who was cruel." Harry asked.
" I seriously doubt your dad was a bad person Harry. Besides, just because he teased Snape back in their Hogwarts days doesn't mean his whole personality was just being a jerk. Just think of all the things Remus and Sirius told you about him. And think about your mom. She wouldn't have fell in love with him, if he was just a jerk." Kai told him.

" I don't know how you do it Kai. You have to constantly hear about your dad being a deatheater. Snape calls my dad lazy once, and I go and mess up my entire lesson." Harry sighed.
" Well obviously you've seen me lose my temper about that. But I just have to remember that they didn't really know him. And it's been getting easier ever since I started reading his diary. And I know you don't have anything like that, but you still have Moony and Padfoot. They knew your dad inside and out." Kai told him.

" Was there anyone in your dads life that knew him like that?" Harry asked.
" Yeah. But two of them are dead and the other one I never want to speak to again because he killed my family and put me in the Red Room." Kai said.
" Do you wish you could meet them?" Harry asked.
" Sometimes. But it's hard to really miss something I've never known and it's even harder to miss something that would have prevented me from being with Nat and Clint." Kai explained.

" I understand, well kinda." Harry chuckled.
" Do you wanna head up to bed? You look exhausted." Kai asked.
" Yeah, that sounds good." Harry nodded.
Kai smiled and started leading him towards the Gryffindor Common Room.

Kai walked happily to her O.W.L's exam knowing exactly what was going to happen.
" Psst! Kai...psst!" A voice whispered shouted.
Kai looked around and saw Fred behind a pillar. She chuckled and walked over to him, he grabbed her arm and pulled her behind the pillar as well.

" What's going on?" Kai asked.
" I have to tell you something, because I don't know if I'll ever see you again." Fred told her.
" Why all the dramatics. You're living Hogwarts not fleeing the country." Kai said.
" It's just I probably won't see you all summer and Christmas break. And if I do it's going to be in a huge group of people and-I just need to tell you, now." Fred explained.
" Okay, okay. What's going on Freddie?" Kai asked.

" Kai...I like you. I have since I first met you, but you were obviously in love with Harry, and that's completely fine. And I thought that I would just get over my little crush on you. Um turns out I didn't, and it grew from a little crush to having real feelings for you. And I know, you don't feel the same for me and that's okay. I just-I had to tell you, because I know if I didn't I'd regret it for the rest of my life." Fred told her.

Kai stood there completely still not knowing what to say.
" Please say something." Fred said.
" I love you Fred Weasley. You know that, and I'm glad you shared your feelings with me. And I hope that it won't be awkward when we see each other again, cause I know we will see each other again, and life wouldn't be half as fun without you in it." Kai told him.
" No, it won't be awkward. I promise." Fred assured.
" Okay, good. Didn't want to have to kick your ass." Kai teased.
Fred chuckled and hugged her. Kai hugged him back tightly.

" Okay, uh see you in a few." Fred pulled away.
" Yeah see ya, Fred." Kai nodded before walking away.

Kai sat behind Ron in her exam. Umbridge sat at the front of the room watching over them. They heard a boom and everyone looked back at the closed doors. Then another, this time Umbridge got up and started walking towards the doors another boom happening. She opened the doors a looked to see nothing. Another distant boom. Kai smiled to herself. Then suddenly the twins flew on on brooms tossing fireworks into the air and throwing up all the exams.

Everyone started cheering and looking at the fireworks in awe. Umbridge and Flich walked back into the room unsure what to do. Kai looked up and saw Fred who was already looking at her. He smiled then pointed at her before throwing up the last firework. It turned into a dragon and started after Umbridge. She started running but as soon as she stepped foot outside it snapped her. It then disbanded and broke all of the rules hanging in the walls. Then they fell all around Umbridge.

The twins flew out and they were followed by all the students running after them. They ran out to the courtyard and watched them fly away. Before they did they threw one last firework that made a big W in the sky. Kai and Ron stood next to each other clapping and whooping.

Kai turned to looked at Harry and Hermione but when see did she saw Harry on the ground. She rushed to him and kneeled down next to him.
" What's wrong?" Kai asked.
" Sirius." Harry told her.
