Katie looked around. It was three years since the war had started. It was finally winding down with a few battles here and there. All around her was signs of the it. She wearily held her wand as she looked at the charred buildings and smelt the burnt flesh of Muggles. This particular battle was over for now. All the Death Eaters had been killed or taken as captives. Most of the Muggles hadn't made it. She had been called to fight in the small town four days earlier. Now, her and the remaining thirteen members of the Light side looked for survivors of the battle.
Walking past houses slowly and silently, she heard something. It was a tiny cry and a grunt of pain. It came from one of the smaller houses. Readying her wand, Katie walked through the doorway. The door had been blown off the hinges prior to the burning.
"Hello?" She waited for a reply. When none came, she was about to leave. Then she heard a small sob. It came from some rubble that was the remains of what was the second story floor. She levitated the pieces off carefully. She saw a leg.
Quickening her pace of moving the burnt wood, she called out again. "Hello? Who's there?"
Clearing the last bit, she saw a middle aged man lying down face down. Katie saw a tiny hand wiggling from underneath him. She turned the man over and saw a toddler with ash marks on her face but seemed to be unharmed. Katie took the child into her arms. They baby started crying. As she tried to soothe her, Katie looked at the man and checked his pulse. It was there. Faint, but there, and steady. She stood up with the child to get help.
She stopped with a small gasp. She turned back around and looked at the man again. Looking closely at his features, Katie knew it was him. She almost started crying as she yelled for help. Putting the child down, she sank down next to the man.
She heard footsteps run in. Katie glanced behind her and saw Hermione Granger and Hannah Abott. Hannah took the child outside. Hermione went to Katie's side.
She gasped. "Katie! Is that…?"
Katie nodded as the tears fell. "He's hurt, Mione. Please help me."
Hermione and Katie carried him to the Apparition spot to take him to their designated camp. When they arrived, they took him to the medic tent where they saw Hannah with the child. They laid him on one of the mats. Katie sat with his hand in hers as Hermione worked her magic on him.
Two hours later she sat back, wiping the sweat from her brow. "He will wake up in the next ten minutes if he's going to." Hermione stood up and went to help some of the other new patients.
Katie waited impatiently for the minutes to pass by. Exhaustion was threatening to overcome her.
"Kat? Is that really you?"
Katie jumped as she looked into his eyes. The one man she had ever loved, Oliver Wood.
