~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Mrs. Weasley waited impatiently at Number 12, she strolled around in the kitchen trying to concentrate on making a "midnight snack" for the members of the Order. But she found herself staring into space every two minutes thinking about things that could be happening to her children and their friends right now. At last, she felt that she could not stand it any longer. She sat down and drank deeply into her mug, but when she settled it back down and stared into it, she couldn't take her mind off everybody at the Ministry right now.
" SNAP OUT OF IT MOLLY!!" she told herself. "They would be starving when they come back, yes, that's right.starving...and alive." she shivered. She knew she shouldn't be imagining things but visions of bright green lights kept finding their way into her mind. Suddenly she heard a sweeping sound, she jerked her head up and turned around. Kreacher was dragging himself into the room, muttering, " Master gone, Kreacher free to take care of Kreacher's mistress.Master gone forever." Mrs. Weasley stared at Kreacher. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, KREACHER????" she demanded. Kreacher jumped, like he didn't even know she was in the same room. " Madam, Kreacher didn't see you, terribly sorry, but what is Madam doing up so late?" " That is none of your business, Kreacher, but I need to ask you something." Kreacher looked terrified all of a sudden and started mumbling to himself again, " Couldn' t leave Kreacher alone, had to "ask" Kreacher something. Just like the crackpot old man, Dumbledore, he was called.yes.yes.ask Kreacher something."
"KREACHER!" Mrs. Weasley could barely hear what he was muttering but she caught Dumbledore's name. "What did Dumbledore say to you? Why are you saying Sirius is gone.forever? How did you know where he went? Kreacher?" "Madam.Kreacher do not know." " DON'T LIE TO ME KREACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She knew that Kreacher could lie to her, and judging on Kreacher's personality, she knew he was lying. "Kreacher!!! I am asking you to tell me.how much do you know?" Kreacher looked up at her, she could see the corner of his lips slowly curving upwards. "....." Kreacher's mistress, Narcissa had warned him about this. "Kreacher! I will be forced use Legilimens on you!!!!" She knew very well that she didn't know how to, but Kreacher didn't. "...Just like that old fool ..Kreacher can lie to anyone he likes.and Kreacher will never lie to master and mistress but this dumpy woman is so nosy...." Once again Kreacher ignored her presence. "Kreacher, I'm warning you .." "Madam.alright.if Madam insists." He sat down on the floor. "Kreacher knows that Master has headed for the Ministry of Magic, intending to save the Famous Boy and all his friends.The Dark Lord gave Kreacher an important task and Kreacher has succeeded!!" as though please with himself, Kreacher let out a high-pitched laugh.
" What sort of task?" She felt cold sweat sliding down her neck, this isn't going to be good news. "Ahhhhhhh.Madam.the task to lure the Dark Lord's enemy into the Ministry so the Dark Lord can take what he wants and finish him off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Again, he laughed.
Mrs. Weasley thought she would faint.... no, not faint. She felt she could rip Kreacher's head off. How dare him! Betraying his own master, and to think that everything had happened just because a house-elf lied!! Mrs. Weasley knew Harry and she knew that Harry would do anything to save his godfather. She couldn't do anything now, she couldn't help Arthur or Harry or Ron or Sirius...she has never felt so helpless in her life.
A thought slipped dangerously into her mind; she could contact Percy! He would know what to do. Charlie and Bill are both so very busy with the Order...only Percy could help her out now. She charmed a parchment and a quill so that a letter was forming "Dear Percy, I know this is going to sound..." Then she suddenly "woke-up"...yes, woke up, just like in a dream. How could she even THINK that she could write to him, he would just to the Minister and everything about the Order will not be a secret any longer. How could she be SOOOO selfish, yet as she was thinking about this, she also thought about her children out there, struggling to stay alive. It would be okay, she thought to herself. She got up from the kitchen table and walked into the dark living room, she and Kreacher has started to just ignore each other. She didn't even hear Kreacher bursting into high-pitched laughter as she dragged herself from the place. She sat down on the sofa and tried to take a nap without freaking herself out with nightmares. As time passed, she slowly felt her eyelids drop until she was fast asleep...
