AN: LOL Sorry about how I ended it, I know it was a little devious but I couldn't help it. Enjoy.
New Revelations
Draco merely smirked while Katy stared in utter shock, her mouth hanging open. He barely managed to stop her jumping out the car to go over to them. When she turned to glare at him he merely shrugged his shoulders. "You guys never noticed his habits? I mean come on, why do you think we stopped fighting for a while?" He laughed, watching her staring at him.
She was looking between Draco and Harry now, in shock. She shuddered, closing her eyes. "That is so not right." She got out of the car slowly, a little calmer now. She had her arms crossed over her chest. She had changed before they left from the last gas stop into a pair of tight blue jeans with a matching green and silver top much like Draco's. When she stopped beside them she gave Sam a smile before glaring at Harry and clearing her throat. "Why hello Potter. What have we here?"
It took him a moment to realize the voice speaking to him belonged to Snape's daughter and not Snape himself. Harry blushed a deep red as he let go of the guy he'd met in a bar a few nights ago with Sam. He smiled at him before the guy left and he turned his attention to Katy who looked very displeased with him. It was rather shocking to all watching when her hand appeared, slapping his face hard.
She didn't know why she had slapped him. She had just snapped and in that moment all three Winchesters seemed to ignore their awkward reunion as they watched in the same stunned silence as Draco. "I thought you had gone off to kill yourself or get yourself killed! You bloody prat!" She practically screamed the words before taking a deep breath and calming herself. "We were all in that war Harry, we were all at that last battle. We saw what happened and while we didn't go through exactly what you did, we do understand you're hurting. Everyone lost someone that night, friends, family, classmates. None of those deaths are your fault and you need to get that through your thick head!" That all said she deflated some, shooting forward as her arms wrapped around his shoulders. She buried her head in his neck and sobbed quietly. "We thought you were dead…."
He didn't know what to think as she kept talking. Yes he blamed himself for the deaths when he knew he hadn't started the war but it felt like his fault. He hadn't thought anyone would find him, that anyone had cared enough to look. Well this showed him how wrong he was as he slowly slipped his arms around his now sobbing friend. He slowly rubbed her back, his eyes looking to Draco.
He stepped up, his voice quiet so it didn't wander past the six of them. "She just had to take in Pansy to be kissed. She got injured somehow, shot by your friends dad as far as I've been able to get out of her. She's been worried about you Harry, we all have since you just up and left us." He grinned. "You also missed the great event." He chuckled as he watched Harry try to figure out what he was talking about before his eyes widened in remembrance. "Hermione had twins, Jean and Rose Weasley. Fred and George already plan to teach them all they know."
Harry laughed along with Draco and even Katy at that. "Like that family needs any more pranksters. You've seen how the twins act when they're in the same room with the last two living Marauders. It's like they're worshiping gods or something."
She nodded, pulling away. "Well when you meet two of the four people who managed to map Hogwarts in such a way as to warn the map holder where a teacher, enemy, friend or target is, well that's something incredible. My father still can't figure out how it was done and Remus and Sirius won't say." Her eyes widened and she smiled, bouncing on her feet as she began humming and searching through her pockets for something.
Even Draco looked mildly disturbed by her actions, tossing a look at Dean like it was all his fault. Sam suppressed a laugh as Dean raised his hands in a 'don't look at me' way. Harry stared at her, waiting for her to say something, to explain what exactly she was doing or looking for. Meanwhile, the Winchesters stepped aside, speaking quietly as they tried to put their differences aside and figure out what was going on. A few minutes later everyone turned back to Katy.
"Aha! Here it is." She smiled, pulling out a paper. She held it out to Harry with a smile. "We found Peter. Sirius is a free man, cleared of all charges. I've kept that copy of his trial with me so when I found you, you would actually believe me." She giggled, shaking her head. "Since he's been free he's been flirting and I think one witch may have caught his eye and possibly his heart. Last I heard her brother in law was trying to arrange a marriage between her and Sirius."
He shook his head as he listened to her, thinking of Sirius. He looked down at the parchment, reading through it as quickly as he could. He smiled, laughing when he saw who had given the Veritaserum and questioned Peter. He looked up at Draco who was smirking like he had some great secret. "Spit it out Malfoy."
Draco's smirk turned into a wide grin. "I saw Katy kissing Dean." His eyes brightened. "And that isn't all they were doing either. You should have seen the position they were in, and the sounds they were making when I undid her spells." He burst into laughter at the blush on her face before there was no laughter at all.
Her voice came out in an angry hiss. "Puer Migale!" A second later her wand was hidden again in its holster and where Draco once stood was a white ferret looking around and blinking. She smirked, before turning innocent eyes on the other. "What? I can change him back when I stop being mad I swear!"
Harry looked from Draco to Katy before he burst into laughter, shaking his head. "I can't believe that spell worked. Ferret Boy? Did you just make that up?"
She giggled as well, nodding. "I couldn't remember the transfiguration spell so I thought I'd try his nickname." She looked down, grinning mischievously. "He never was good with remembering Latin so he never got the insult. … Harry, do you think it would be too odd if a ferret started bouncing through the halls of a building here?"
"Kathleen Rose Snape! Don't you dare think about it." Harry faced her, hands on his hips. He nodded triumphantly when she huffed and mumbled 'fine, I'll leave him alone.' He turned to look for Draco only to hear Katy shriek a moment later. Draco wasn't on the ground where he was before, instead he had moved to get payback of his own. Harry turned to Katy, slapping a hand over his mouth to hold in his laughter as she fought to get the ferret out of her shirt where he had ferreted his way in.
When she finally got the little ferret out of her shirt and back on the ground without tossing him, she sighed and pulled out her wand. She pointed it at Draco, grinning when he looked terrified. "Finite Incatatem." She smiled smugly when Draco glared at her, crossing his arms over his now human chest. Her smiled faded a moment later along with all color from her face as he spoke.
"I am definitely telling your father you had sex with a muggle. I can only guess how glad he'll be to know his little girl isn't so innocent anymore."
"Now wait a minute. I know what she did was wrong." Dean shot Katy a look before turning his attention back to Draco. "But that is no reason to go tattling about what happened between her and me ok? Now, is there somewhere we can go to talk about this? Someplace a little more private?"
Harry nodded, glancing at Sam. "Yeah, we don't have class till later so we can all go back to our apartment. Draco, why don't you go get their cars and catch up with us. And before you can protest what he'll do won't actually harm the vehicles or anything inside them I promise. They'll be restored to the state they're in now." He put an arm around Katy, leading them back to his and Sam's place. "Katy, you know you shouldn't piss Draco off. Don't worry about his threat though, I'll have a chat with him." He stole a glance at Dean, looking back at Katy. "So, how was he?"
She gasped, pushing him away with an indignant pout. "You will never get me to answer that. Don't even try asking again. Bloody prat."
Draco laughed as he caught up, noticing all three Winchesters fallowing and staring in fascination. "Oh I'd say he was very good judging from the sounds I heard coming from her when the silence ward dropped." He put his arm around her shoulders, giving her half a hug. "Don't worry, you're like a sister to me. I won't tell your dad but… well you'll have to eventually or he'll slip Veritaserum into something you're eating or drinking. Oh and whatever you do, make sure he knows I do not want to marry you. That would just be ew."
She laughed at the last part, shaking her head. "Yeah, ew alright. Can't imagine who would want to marry a Malfoy anyway. Money aside you're annoying as hell. Oh and I am sorry about the whole ferret thing, wasn't exactly on purpose. I didn't really think through the anger at what you were saying." She shrugged, moving away as they stopped in front of the building. "How much of this do you own Harry?"
He opened the door, shrugging. "The whole building actually. How'd you know?"
"Call it a guess. Anyway, let's get inside so we can talk."
Several hours of talk later and everyone had a room. As a joke, Harry had given Dean and Katy an apartment within the building to share. Draco was currently out with John getting groceries for the three apartments, having already transfigured a few appliances. This left Katy and Dean alone in their apartment.
Katy looked over at Dean as he sat at the kitchen table, cleaning his guns. She'd Taken some things from Harry's apartment and was currently putting together some dessert while a stew simmered on the stove. She was slicing some apples for the Pies she was making, sighing. "Dean, I'm sorry about this. I don't know why he put us in the same room. I'll sleep on the couch or transfigure another bed or something if you want."
He glanced up from the gun he was cleaning. "It isn't a problem, just not something I've really done before. What are you making?"
She smiled over at him. "Apple pies for dessert. Everyone is going to come over for dinner and dessert. I also have some rolls rising to go with the stew."
"Mmmmm. Pie."
She laughed at his response, shaking her head at him. She saw him grin back before he focused on his task again. "You ever think about settling down? The whole home and family thing?"
He didn't even look up, just kept his eyes focused on his task. "Why do you want to know? Think the other night and some pie will put me under some kind need to marry you?"
His question startled and angered her to the point her hand shifted and slipped, the knife she was cutting apples with slicing into her hand. She cursed quietly, reaching for a dish towel. She wrapped it around her bleeding hand, ignoring the shaking and red soaking through the white. "I was just trying to make conversation. As for the pies it's something I like to do before going off to die. I helped Molly bake a lot of pies during the war because no one knew what tomorrow would bring."
He stilled at her words, his head down so she couldn't see his reaction. He kept his voice as neutral as he could. "Why would you be needing to bake a pie now? You said yourself the war was over. No more battles."
She laughed, shaking her head as she put more pressure on the wound. "I got my next assignment when they took Pansy away. It's part of the reason I took up your offer of a drink and you know how that ended."
"What makes you think you're going to your death?"
"The Lestrange brothers. They've finally resurfaced since the last battle of the war." She laughed. "They're at least as dangerous as Bellatrix was and that's separate. I get to go up against both of them at the same time. Maybe I'll get lucky and they won't torture me first."
They hadn't heard any of the others return. Sam and Harry had just gotten back from class, helping John and Draco bring up the groceries. They had only Katy and Deans left to drop off. They had been listening for a while, but when Draco and Harry heard who she'd been sent after both dropped their bags loudly to the floor in shock. Katy looked over, smiling. The look in her eyes was hollow, accepting of her fate. "Katy…" Harry didn't know what to say and Draco couldn't speak at all.
"Oh it gets better. If I manage to live I get to go after the Carrow's next."
"They can't do this to you! Your father would never allow it Katy, no one would expect a single witch to go up against those four alone. It's suicide!" Draco had found his voice and anger rang through.
She smiled sadly, tossing the blood soaked dish towel into the sink. "They think being Snape's daughter will get them to go easy. The ministry can be rather stupid. Oh, Harry is there a first aid kit around her? The knife slipped and I think it went pretty deep."
Harry and Draco exchanged looks, neither liking the way she was speaking. Harry nodded, heading to get a kit from the bathroom as Draco made his way over to Katy to look at her hand. Sam and John, they were standing in the doorway staring at Dean. What the hell had gotten into the man? They hadn't seen him act that way towards someone before. Shaking themselves from their thoughts they set about quietly putting away the groceries. It wasn't long before Harry was back, him and Draco using the kit and magic to tend to Katy's hand as fast as they could. Harry soon took over cooking, sending Katy off to the bedroom to rest while Draco went to have a Floo chat in Harry's apartment.
After a good talk from both his father and brother, Dean made his way to the bedroom. He had felt trapped when she'd asked that question, but he hadn't meant to upset her like that. When he walked into the room he stopped, worried by what he saw. Katy was curled up on the bed, pillow held tightly as she cried into it. From the way she made no sound before the door was opened he assumed she'd put up a silencing spell. He walked in slowly, shutting and locking the door behind him. Moving towards the bed slowly, the shame building, he sat down slowly. Dean pulled her up into his arms, holding her as she let out her fears, doing his best to comfort her. He wouldn't let her go, wouldn't let her die no matter what he had to do. A slight smile crossed his face as he realized the other four men in the apartment wouldn't let her die either, not if any of them could stop it.
AN: Sorry for ending it here, but it seemed a good place. Sorry there hasn't been much Sammy/John dialogue but that's for the future. What might Dean do to keep her safe? Why does he think his father and brother will keep her safe too? Guess we'll wait and see. Expect time jump in the next chapter mostly likely, unless anyone has some suggestions?
Note: As I go along I will be moving the spell index to the end of the story.
