Damnation in the Blood

Chapter One: Hiding from the Hidden

Disclaimer: These characters don't belong to me. Only Kaitlyn and Julie. This situation also belongs to J.K Rowling. This is only my interpretation of it with my original characters added!

"I find it would wiser if I were your secret keeper."
"Nothing against you Albus, but I think that Sirius will do just fine."
Kaitlyn heard the authority in James' voice. She knew she shouldn't be listening, this was none of her business. But she couldn't, she wouldn't walk away. Bot with her best friends on the line. If she left now, she would never know anything.
"Very well. I will contact you soon." The aging wizard Disapperated to only he knew where.
Kaitlyn scurried to the kitchen to see what Lily was doing.
"Need any help? The Goddess of Cooking is here!" She threw her arms over her head and stood in a super model pose. Her efforts to make Lily smile worked.
"I thought you were the Resident Goddess of Gryfinndor." James had walked into the room.
"That too. I better be on my way though. Catch you later." Kaitlyn winked at the grim-faced Lily.
"How about you come back on Monday. I'll make dinner. With the help of the Cooking Goddess of course." Lily forced a weak smile. Kaitlyn returned it, equally weak.
She decided that she would walk instead of Apperating. Despite Lily's warnings, she walked to Peter and Julie Pettigrew's house. By the time she got there, it was pouring down rain. She banged on the small oak door. Peter Pettigrew let her in.
"Thank God it's you. We thought something awful had happened to you."
"Nah. I was at the Potters. They're hanging in there. I wish I could've stayed longer." Kaitlyn sipped the tea that her best friend Julie Pettigrew had given her.
"It's a relief that they're OK. How are you? Always running around between houses. You might be in more danger than them." Julie looked worried.
"I doubt that. Anyway, I'm here for moral support. I just give out smiles to anyone who needs them." Kaitlyn hoped Julie and Peter wouldn't detect the falsehood in her words.
"Spoken to Remus lately?" Peter asked her.
"No. Next week's a full moon anyway. I don't think he's talking to any of us."
"I can understand that. But you're his fiancé. You would think that he would talk to you."
"That's what I thought. I've sent him owls and even popped in his fire one evening. He wasn't there." Kaitlyn frowned.
"But you're still going to get married, right?" Julie looked horrified.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he called the whole thing off. I haven't spoken to him in months." Her words were filled with sadness the minute they left her lips. The three chatted for a little while longer.
"I've got to get going home. I'll check back soon though."
Kaitlyn was now the one that wore the grim face.
"Take care of yourself. I still say you should try harder to talk to Moony. He's alone." Julie hugged her friend and watched her leave.
Kaitlyn ignored the last remark, and stepped out into the bitter air. It had stopped raining, but the wind was blowing hard. She grimaced as she walked passed 12 Grimmauld Place and walked faster. She wove her way through once bustling streets, and alleyways, until she came to her house. It was more of a hut, but Kaitlyn was comfortable calling it home for the time being. She dreamed about getting married and living in a decent house with Remus Lupin, her fiancé of 8 months.
She muttered something under her breath, and her hut was soon invisible. Once inside, she plopped down on her cot and started reading her favorite book, Animagus Through The Years. She soon fell into a dreamless sleep.
