Staying Up Late { Ronan Finnigan/Spencer}

[Deleted]

Why couldn't everything be normal? No matter what happened nothing would ever be normal. It didn't matter what happened because she would take it all in stride like she always did. Catherine had to grow up fast because of her seer ability. Since a little girl she saw things that no child should see. It wasn't like she was ever going to be able to get rid of her ability so she had to embrace it even if she didn't like it. No one in her family ever had this ability; well the ones who were still alive didn't have it. She had to learn to handle this by herself. She knew her family wanted to be there for her but this was impossible to try to help her through. All she saw were horrific scenes of people dying. Students all the time came up to her and asked her to tell them their future. No matter how many times she said that she couldn't and she couldn't just bring the visions on at her whim they kept asking her, hardly giving her a moment’s peace. She didn't have any friends because she never trusted anyone.


She spent most of her time reading a book just for fun, or she was studying everything she could to learn whatever she could. She loved reading and studying. A lot of people wondered why the shy quiet girl wasn't in Ravenclaw. She wanted to be in Gryffindor like the rest of her family, though she never knew why. She never had been the brave one. No that was her brother. He was always there no matter what. He was the brave one. She always wanted to be like him. She wanted to be fearless and the pride and joy of the family. She only ever felt like the outcast because of her ability. For once she wanted to hang out with some kids her age and not have one of them ask her to see their future or to have her older brother come to her defense because she wouldn't speak up against the ones who always kept hounding her about their future.

Right now Catherine was having trouble sleeping. She had some nightmare/visions again as always. After a while she just got up and left her dorm. As she walked out she grabbed a book she was reading and went downstairs to the common room. No one was down there so she sat down in an arm chair and started to read. She didn't know what time she had went down there or how long she stayed but she was there for hours because she finished her book. She closed it and was just about to go back and get another book, or textbook, to read when she heard a noise, and then footsteps.

In the morning no one would now what had happened. Ronan chuckled on his way back from setting up a prank that would only go off on two different people, one being Sean Owens from Ravenclaw, and James Potter one of his best friends. Those two would be walking around the school dressed as clowns in dresses and high heels. He knew that it was late and that he should be getting back to the common room. Ronan had already skirted past Professors Grey, Stone, and Longbottom. He was sure that Professor Grey had known that he was there, but the man hadn’t said anything to him. And then Stone well he had no clue as to why he had even seen that Professor on the floor that Ronan had set the prank up on. Professor Longbottom had gone past where Gryffindor tower and Ronan could tell that he also knew someone was out of bed. That man never missed anything going on in the tower.

The real reason he was out of bed besides pulling pranks, and possibly having stopped off at the kitchens was all because he couldn’t sleep. It was way past curfew, but that never stopped him before. Once he got to the portrait who was awake, for some reason, let him in. As he walked into the common room Ronan noticed that it was practically empty, all except for one person. His little sister Catherine. Their parents were never sure what to make of her ability, especially their mom. Ronan on the other hand admired his little sister, for being as strong as she was. Always putting up with others asking her what their futures were going to be like. Ronan did what he could to get them to stop because he could tell how much it irritated Catherine. Hell it irritated him and pissed him off as well. Why couldn’t they just let her be and except her as a regular person.

“I guess tonight is the night for the Finnigan’s to up and about. So sis what brings you down to our lovely common room at this time of night?” Ronan asked with a raised eyebrow as he pulled out his wand and conjured another armchair so he could sit across from his sister. Once he had sat down he looked at his sister wondering what the real reason was as to why she was down here. But if he had to guess, she probably had a nightmare or seen something, that had woken her up.
