[attr="class","GGcontainer2temp1"][break][break] [attr="class","GGcontenttemp1"] let’s start off with who I am. My name is Kathrine Michelle Bell, but please just call me KATIE. I am a twenty year old former Gryffincor, and now a professional Chaser for the Arrows Quidditch team. I’ll tell you how I got sorted into Gryffindor and all that fun stuff later. First let me tell you about my parents, after all they shaped who I am, I think. My mom is the magical one in my parents relationship. She met my father when she was 21 years old, and by the time she was 23 they were married with me on the way. It took my mom a while to tell my father that she was a witch and at first he didn’t believe her. It took her actually showing him the levitation spell plus a few others till he finally believed it. After that my dad was a little scared of my mom and what she could do. He got over the fact that she was a witch by my 6th birthday. But by that time I was already starting to show signs of magic, by levitating some of my toys and what not. That freaked my dad out again, and this time he couldn’t let the fact go that his daughter was going to be a witch, and left my mom and me to be by ourselves. I wasn’t sure what was going on at that time, but a couple of years later I realized that my father had walked out on me and my mom because we were different than him. [break][break] By the time I was 10 I couldn’t wait to start school. I was literally counting down the days until my 11th birthday, 30 from that point, so that I could get my letter and be one step closer to starting at Hogwarts. The day that my letter came, me and my mom had decided to spend the day just lounging around the house and having a relaxing birthday. I didn’t have a lot of friends to invite over so it was just the two of us. But what surprised me was not the fact that my letter came in the beak of a flying Owl. I had seen this done many times. No what surprised me was the knock on the door, and that my father who I hadn’t seen at that point for 5 years, was there, with a new wife and a step child. He wanted to show off his new family while he wished me a happy birthday and hoped that I would stay out of his hair now that I was going to “that school”. By then I was upset and slammed the door in his face and ran to my room crying. I didn’t understand how my father could just show up like that and act that way. It made no sense to me. Sure I had dreamt of seeing him again but not like that, no never like that. [break][break] From that day I spent every day getting ready for the train ride and the sorting. I already knew what house I wanted to get in. I wanted to be in Gryffindor like my mom. I just hoped that the Sorting Hat put me there. Finally after a long couple of months the day finally arrived. My mom and I left the house early enough to get to the train station with enough time to spare. I knew once I boarded the train things would be different for me. The train ride seemed to last forever and by the time we got to the Hogsmead station it was already dark. I saw quite a few people getting into carriages pulled by some creature, or at least I hoped they were pulled by a creature. I however had to get into the boats that took the first years across the lake and to the castle. After that whole day it finally came to the part I was waiting for. I stood in line next to a couple of girls who I could hear talking to each other about what house they wanted to be places in, and if they thought they would get it. They tried getting me to join the conversation but I was too concentrated on trying to make sure that I didn’t throw up to talk to them. I believe now that it’s a good thing that they call the first year by last name because I don’t think that I could’ve waited as long as some of this people waited. When my name was called I walked up to the sorting hat and sat on the chair anxiously waiting for the house to be called out. The Sorting Hat took some time to figure out what house would fit me best. At first it was Ravenclaw, and then Hufflepuff, and finally the one that was said out loud Gryffindor. I took the hat off and ran as fast as I could over to the Gryffindor table to sit with my new house mates. I swear from that point on the first year went by really fast. I met some really cool people and decided year that I was going to be on the Quidditch team. I also passed all my end of the year exams which were actually kind of hard to do. I decided that year that I wanted to have fun and a good time while I was at school, and work hard to do my best. [break][break] I was a little worried but happy when I found out that I did make Chaser during the Quidditch try-outs. I was so happy that I couldn’t stop talking about it for weeks. It was during Quidditch practices that I met some of my best friends, Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnet. I also became close with the Weasley Twins, and our Captain Oliver Wood. For the next year we tried our best during games but never seemed to find the right combination to win. It wasn’t until my Second year when we got Harry Potter on our team did we start winning. Which was something I was excited about, I mean who wouldn’t be excited about winning. Besides that even as a twelve year old I knew that Quidditch would be in my life forever, and I had a better chance of going somewhere with it if I came from a winning team. [break][break] When I wasn’t on the Quidditch Pitch I was either in the common room hanging out with the crew, or doing my homework, so that I could continue to have the free time that I liked so much. The next few years flew by for me all I remember doing is playing Quidditch games and doing school work while hanging out with my friends. I know that Harry and his friends had to do quite more than me but I didn’t pay that much attention to it at that point in time. Sure I knew that Harry did something important down in the dungeons and that it lead to Quirlle not working at the school anymore, which I was glad because I never enjoyed his presence anyway, and I knew that Harry went and rescued Ginny from the Chamber, and he did something else the year after that. But none of that was really my business at the time, and even afterwards, it never affected me personally. Well not till a couple of years later but I will get to that in due time. [break][break] My fifth year was a little more surprising that the last four years. We were told at school that the tri-wizard tournament was going to happen for the first time in a while, and that we would be having foreign students come and stay for the duration of the year. I wanted to partake in the event just like everyone else but after hearing that I couldn’t I just hopped that the champion would be from Gryffindor house. So I was a little upset when I heard Cedric’s name being called out. However that all changed when I heard Harry’s name also be called. I with just about everyone else was shocked, we didn’t know what was going on and if he should be allowed to compete. But apparently he was able to and while I had to study for my O.W.L.s I wished him luck every day and hopped that he would win it for us and his house. I don’t know what happened inside the maze but I remember being freaked out when I saw Cedric’s body lying on the ground and him not moving, and I was even more freaked out when I heard Harry say that Voldemort is back. I don’t know what he meant but whatever it was I knew that I was going to have a hard next year, and the following years afterwards. While most of everyone’s exams got cancelled that year I still had to take my O.W.L.s something that I wasn’t looking forward to. However I did pretty good. I got one E. and the rest O’s. with that I knew that the next year I could take any class that I wanted to even potions. [break][break] Now you are probably wondering why I haven’t mentioned anything about any boyfriends and what not, and that’s because there weren’t any. Sure I liked a guy here or there but most of my feelings were for someone that during school I couldn’t have, and probably still can’t have now. I had a huge and I mean huge crush on Olive Wood. It was so bad that at times I wasn’t able to do anything besides just stare at him. I know that everyone else knew about my crush and Angie and Alicia would try and get me to go on dates with guys to get my mind off of him but I could never bring myself to do it. I would feel like that I was not only disappointing myself because I knew that I had feelings for someone else, but also that someone else even if I didn’t know that he liked me I hoped. Even now at twenty years old I still don’t date, sure I flirt and make out with guys now, but I keep hoping that one day Oliver will realize that he likes me just as much as I like him, and we will be together. [break][break] My sixth year was just another year at the beginning. We received a new D.A.D.A professor this time it was someone from the ministry, and while her class started out boring we hoped that it would pick up momentum by the end of the first month. However that wasn’t the case and nobody felt like they were prepared enough for whatever was to come. So Harry and his group of friends formed a group called the D.A. it was meant to prepare everyone and teach them the spells that weren’t being taught in class. It was a great group and I learned a lot from it. However during the course of the year Harry, Fred, and George all got suspended from the Quidditch team and we had to find replacements for them. This sucked because we had just gotten our flow down with only having to replace Oliver, but now we had to train three completely new players, and I was not looking forward to that. However we still ended up doing pretty well that season. However I think the best thing that happened that year was when Fred and George, launched their portable swamp and left school. It was a great display and it made me laugh for days. [break][break] My final year. Now a lot of people probably say that oh ‘I did a lot of growing up and maturing and had a life changing event that made me realize what I wanted to do with my life’. Well to be honest I had all three of those at once. It was during our last Hogsmead Trip before Christmas break, and I was there with my friend Leanne. Well I went to use the bathroom and when I came out everyone said I didn’t look right and I was carrying a strange package. Leanne I guess tried to stop me from doing whatever it was that I was doing and in the process of that the package I was carrying ripped open and I touched part of it through a small hole in my glove. Now the rest of what happened I don’t like to talk about so I’m just going to say this, I was in terrible pain, and I couldn’t do anything but scream. And that little touch caused me to sit in St. Mungo’s for six months while I recovered, something that I did not want to do at all. I had a couple of visitors, the Twins, Alica and Angie, but the one person I wanted to see, the one person I wanted to talk to the most never showed up, even though I had written him multiple times to see me. I let it go that he was probably busy training and couldn’t afford to leave his team, and hoped that one day he would come by. [break][break] Even though I spent six months in the hospital I was able to come back to Hogwarts and finish out her Quidditch career with the school. I played in the final game and helped my team win, something that didn’t go unnoticed by the scouts that were in the stands. One of them came down to me and congratulated me on a stunning game, after not having a lot of practice that year, he offred me a starting spot with the Appleby Arrows, saying that if I could take a six month absence and still play that well, then there was no reason to stick me in the reserves. I took the deal and started training with the team shortly after graduation. [break][break] The next year everything changed once again. Harry was on the run, Voldermort was for sure back, and I was playing professional Quidditch. it wasn’t until the second of May did anything bigger than normal happened. That was when I got a summons by the D.A. coin letting me know that there was something big going down at Hogwarts. I made my way to the school, and saw that there was a battle getting ready to start. However while I noticed that the thing or should I say person that I noticed more was Oliver. He had found out about the Battle and had made it to fight alongside us. I never really got the chance to talk to him but I wish that I would have. I would have told him then about my feelings for him and everything that I had dreamt of. But instead of doing that I chose to fight alongside him and my friends, something that I never want to do again, I don’t’ know how many people I injured or worst killed, all I can recall from that night is a scream echoing through the great hall as I looked at my friends, and seeing one of the twins on the floor not moving, and the other crying over his body. I ran out of the room thinking that it couldn’t be, that Fred couldn’t have been dead, if he was dead who else could have died. I couldn’t think about anything other than getting out of the room and finding a place to sit down and breathe. I still think about that day, all the people we lost, the friends the family, even the ones I never knew. I wished that we didn’t have to go through the lost, but I know now that the hurt of the loss never fully goes away it does dissipate to where you can function. [break][break] Now a day I am still playing Quidditch and can’t wait for the season to begin again. I hope that I will get out of my habit of not being able to talk to a certain someone and that I will start to feel more like myself before I was cursed than afterwards, although I don’t think that is going to happen. I still have nightmares from those years and know that no matter what, what happened will always be with me and that those years changed me.
