I am so sorry! I had writer's block and I had school. Darn those schools.

Draco and Catastrophe had exited the Muggle Restaurant with Cat munching on the cookies in his hand. He closed it as she glared at him, the dim light illuminating her pretty white-blonde hair. Chuckling, he opened them again and she smiled, taking one and eating it quickly.

Draco was not crazy, he was sure. But he couldn't have swore that he had heard a growl coming from a direction and he whipped around, alert as he took out his wand. Cat stopped too and turned around, her eyes questioning. "Hear something, Draco?" She asked, now clapping her hands together to shake off the crumbles.

"Look, Catastrophe." Cat was about to hit Draco for calling her that but paused as she saw his face- pale, worried, and taut.

"If something happens, take this and go, okay?" He handed her a necklace, which he clasped it around her neck. She went to touch it but he stopped her.

"Not until something happens." He chided and she nodded, her small hand falling into his. She grasped it tightly and he gave a squeeze.

Together, they went down the dark alley passageway, stopping as they heard a sound or even a whoosh of the cold, brisk night wind. Cat was now shivering; her arms out to Draco as he picked her up with ease, then carried on. Wrapping his warm, thick Dragonhide jacket around them both, he carried on, Cat's eyes wide as she tapped his shoulder quickly and urgently. She did not know what to do, as she looked on. Draco turned her around so he could be face-to-face with her and saw her wide, purple eyes.

"Now what's wrong?" He asked, his voice to a low whisper. Cat crouched down, her small mouth near his ear.

"I saw something following us." She confessed, hugging Draco more tightly as she fidgeted nervously. "I'm scared."

"Shh…It's probably a rat…Or a stray. It's okay, no one is following us." He tried to comfort her but her grip did not lessen at all. Giving up, he went on, his ears picking up a noise- an unmistakable sound of someone's foot kicking a can. Putting her down, Cat clung onto his leg, obviously shook up by the sound previously.

"So, Draco…Did your Father think I would just forget about his past?" A cold and brisk voice wafted through the equally cool air, making his spine tingle and Cat to whimper, clutching his leg tighter. Draco let in a short and quick gasp of air, and his fingers twitched to his wand holster, but were stopped abruptly by a red light zooming and almost hitting Catastrophe. She dodged out of the way only slightly, and the light passing her with a hairbreadth left. She let out a sob, and Draco couldn't help but to feel responsible for this situation…Why hadn't he Apparated?

Crouching low, he whispered, "Touch the necklace as soon as I say three, okay?" into her ear, but she shook her head no and clung onto him more desperately, making him more determined to make her leave.

His long, elegant fingers closed upon his wand as the other hand clutched her hand. Putting a kiss on her hair, he whispered, "Portus" and tapped the necklace as it started glowing, redder and redder as she looked down and whimpered, looking back up into his eyes as he kissed her once more. The hand on hers went to the glowing Portkey, and with a little 'pop', she was gone.

"Smart, you are. But not as me." The coldness that he had forgotten whispered in the air.

Pain.
