It all started in Paris… We, being myself, Neville and Luna, were there trying to track down a couple of death-eaters that slipped away after Dumbledore's death. At the time, Voldemort was back in his nearly full power and fourteen death-eaters again escaped from Azkaban including Barty Crouch Jr. and Lucius Malfoy. His son, Draco had disappeared after the assassination. His mother was in anguish grieving for Draco and scorning Lucius.
Neville had recently discovered a hideout for several death eaters. We were finally going to go in and storm the death-eaters. We all marched up the dark alley side by side just passed Notre Dame. I was remembering what Uncle Remus has said, " Katherine, if not everything goes as planned don't worry just stay calm. Never let the enemy see you afraid." His words would echo through my journey.
But seeing how you don't even know me. I should introduce myself. My name is Katherine Amora. I came to Hogwarts the same year as the famous Harry Potter started, in fact I knew him, but not well. I tended to be closer to Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood. The reason miss Rowling didn't add my character was because I was shy and was also a friend to a not so Gryffindoorian character. The true reason that kept me away from Harry was that I was good friend to Slytherin student, Draco Malfoy. I was in Gryffindor, which might surprise some of you, but I was a pure blood by most standings. I met Draco in my second year, and we slowly became friends. We didn't always agree, but we cared and trusted each other. I knew he was proud and a bit rude at times, but he had a heart.
My father was John Amora, an auror, but sadly he had died after my first year. My mother was Cornelia Lupin, Remus's half sister. She died at the beginning of my fourth year at the hands of Pettigrew, while trying to hide the spell book that would allow Voldemort to rise again. So after she died I grew closer to Neville, Luna, and especially Draco. In fact on Holidays I would occasionally stay with the Malfoys. Narcissa Malfoy was always kind and tender to me. Her having no daughter and myself having no mother, naturally we grew to that adoptive fashion, but Draco's father was hardly ever present. In fact I had only met him three times in the past four years I had visited, most of the time he had hardly talk at all. This absence made Draco uneasy, angry, and in a way heartbreaking. The first time I came, he was inquisitive and curious about my father, but the more I came the less he talked and approved of the visits it would seem.
Anyways it was to soon be my seventh- year. The year of the war, that summer we were in Paris. Luna and Neville were obviously in love. I tried to avoid getting in the way. They were more talented and important to this war I knew that. I also knew my friendship had damaged my assistance in the fight. One night we were in the hotel rooms over looking the Seine. Neville and Luna were watching a romantic old film, and I needed a walk. So I walked near the Seine, passed Notre Dame and ended up on the Lover's bridge with all the locks hanging with names of lovers, couples, and sweethearts. I looked at some of the names, and I found an odd one that said D+K Forever Gryffindor and Slytherin love. It was strange because in the moment I read it. I had thought for sure I had noticed someone watching me, but by the time I turned round no one was there. "Oh well" I sighed and returned back to Neville and Luna. The Next day we stormed the Death-Eaters hid-out. Little did we know which death-eaters were hiding as we stormed the abandoned home of Rex Slytherin.
When we entered, it seemed quiet at first but soon an evil laugh followed the unnerving silence….
Neville was on my left and Luna on my right. It was dark, but we saw quick movement and followed after it. We entered a sitting room and saw them running toward the kitchen. Bellatrix had tried to hex us, but Neville deflected it. Narcissa seemed to nervous, scared to throw any curses other than Stupilfy. The three of us raced after the sister death-eaters. When we all reached the back alley, we were caught. They stood there in the way out, wands raised and fully ready to curse. Luna had been injured by one of Bellatrix's curses as we had followed them. They had cast away Neville, Luna, and my wands. The alley blocked, nowhere to go. We had one option, to apparate. Luna had the power ready, but it wouldn't do for us to be killed before reaching a destination. One of us would have to be left behind.
"Are u going to give up now?" laughed Bellatrix. I turned to Neville and Luna. " Good Luck." I whispered and nodded. In a flash, they were gone and I was a prisoner of war.
