I hope you like how is going :)

Chapter 61

The snatchers kept pulling the group trough grass and plants, making them walk and it was already night. Harry was in the lead and you could tell the jinx Hermione did was wearing off, but you could still confused him. Hermione and Kat were being pulled behind him, and behind them were Fred, George and Ron. None of them were happy watching how the snatchers treated 'their girls'. Half way Hermione tripped and the snatcher holding her kicked her. Kat jumped to the snatcher for doing that, but the one that was holding her crucio her. That made three irritating gingers furious. They entered a path that had walls made of plants and the path was cold. Only a big fence stood in front of them and a figured walked to it from the other side. Scabior pulled Harry to the fence and showed his face to Bellatrix, whose eyes opened wide and whispered something the girls couldn't quiet get, just something about Draco, and they thought they heard wrong until they went inside of the house, more like a mansion, and found Draco and his parents, along with Peter Pettigrew. Bellatrix pulled Harry to Draco who stood surprised and trembled when he saw all of his fellow students there.

"Draco", Bellatrix hissed, "is it him, dear?"

Draco stood a few feet from Harry, looking at his eyes. He was confused on what to answer as Harry looked back at him.

"Um…", he said hesitating, "I'm not sure."

There was a silence of tension as Lucius walked to his son and whispered.

"You need to do this Draco…if we give him to the Dark Lord, our lives will go back to how they were-better!"

"Don't forget who actually caught him", Scabior said, mad, reclaiming his credit

"How dare you? In my own house!", Lucius snapped

"Shut it!", Bellatrix yelled as she got Harry on his knees, closer to Draco, "c'mon, Draco, concentrate."

Lucius got Draco down to Harry's level so he would see clearly.

"What happened to his face?", Draco change the subject to get the pressure off his shoulders.

"Yeah, what happened to him? Was it you, dear?", she smirked to Hermione as she walked to her, laughing like she only knows how, "clever and I see you are standing here, fully alive", she looked to Kat and stood in front of her, Kat wasn't too happy to be there, "you wouldn't be standing in that position if you would have come to us when the time was right. But of course, you went all soft of those two blood traitors, so now you are-"

But Kat shut her up, spitting in her face. Bellatrix closed her mouth as she felt the rage growing. Her eyes opened again as she frowned.

"You-!", she said as she raised her hand, holding a dagger and was about to swing to her neck

"Wait!", Draco made the room stop, "I…I think he-he does look familiar."

Bellatrix sighed as she walked by Kat. Kat grinned to Draco, a grin that said 'I know there's good in you', a grin which he ignored as he turned back to Harry.

"Lock 'em up!", she shouted, "they will talk when the Dark Lord gets here!"

She laughed again, but the laughed faded when she saw a snatcher with the Sword of Gryffindor he got from Ron.

"Where did you get that?", she asked, paranoid

"I snatch it from one of them. I reckon it's mine.", he said with a grin

Bellatrix took a deep breath and threw a spell at him, making him fly back, leaving the sword behind. Then out of her wand, a rope came out, wrapping Greyback's neck and she pulled him.

"Are you mad?", Scabior asked going to her

She just kicked him and started to yell.

"Out! Everyone out! Lock the others in the dungeons!", she said grabbing Hermione, "I need to have a private conversation with this one!"

The snatchers started to take the other away, but Kat stood strong.

"No!", she kept yelling

"Let her stay! She'll love this!", Bellatrix said with a sarcastic, yet devious tone, along with a grin

Lucius and Draco took Kat as the snatcher left the room and Pettigrew locked them in the dungeons.

"Hermione!", Ron shouted form the dungeons

"Where's Kat?", George realized Kat wasn't around

"Don't tell me she stayed up there!", Fred said going to the entrance with Ron

Kat kept struggling and struggling, to get free to help Hermione. All she wanted was to kick Bellatrix off her. Bellatrrix started to carve something in her arms and stopped, letter by letter, Hermione let out screams that echoed in the room. Kat got lose from Draco, since he lost his grip, but Lucius hit her with his cane, making her hit the floor and he pointed his wand to her.

"Crucio!"

Kat started to twist and turn in torture, hearing Hermione's cries didn't help. When the torturing stopped, Kat tried to crawl to Hermione, but another hit from the cane hit her back. Then another and another crucio. A scream escaped her lips, a scream Fred and George recognized and went to the fence to hit it, trying to get out. Ron wasn't too far from blowing up the place. When Bellatrix got up to interrogate the goblin, Hermione laid there with the letters carved in her arm, bleeding. Mudblood. Bellatrix grabbed the cane and hit Kat a few times before going to the goblin, Kat screamed this time again, Bellatrix hit harder than Lucius, something Kat didn't want to find out. As she walked and talk to the goblin, Kat lifted herself a bit, with her elbows still in the floor and saw Hermione, staring at her with tears dropping slowly.

"Sorry…", she whispered very low to her, but Hermione didn't moved.

Kat's head felt the floor again, feeling weak and useless. Both girls were paralyzed with pain and they couldn't hear anything Bellatrix was saying. They just saw the guys walked up the stairs and they started to fight against the Malfoys. Kat was still in the floor when George left the fight to check on her.

"Stop it!"

Everyone stopped, hearing Bellatrix command as she held Hermione, with the dagger to her neck.

"Drop your wands!", Harry and Ron hesitated, both were too mad to even think, "drop them!"

They finally did and Draco got them from the floor. Bellatrix stood there and laughed in her psycho way as Hermione kept sobbing less.

"Look at Potter, he's all doll-up for the Dark Lord."

Everyone looked at Harry, and she was right. The jinx had worn off and Harry was looking like himself.

"Call him"

Everyone looked at Draco and he looked at Harry first, who glared at him, telling him to do the right thing. Then he looked at Hermione and Kat, both delicate and weak, then at the gingers that had stare that could kill him in a second. Lucius was out of patience so he lifted his sleeve to show his mark, right before he touched it, a little griding sound broke the silence coming from the ceiling. Everyone slowly looked up to see Dobby on the chandelier, turning the screw around that was holding it. It trembled a bit before he apparated and it went down. Bellatrix pushed Hermione, who got the strength to get out of the way and fall into Ron's arms before the chandelier hit the ground and shattered in pieces. Fred and George got Kat out and covered her in case something would harm her. Harry went to Draco and struggled with him to get his wands.

"Stupid elf!", Bellatrix yelled, "you could've killed me!"

"Dobby never meant to kill…just serious injure or severally harm"

When Narcissa was about to throw a spell, Dobby flicked his fingers, making the wand fly out of her hands.

"How dare you take a witches wand? How dare you disobey your master?"

"Dobby has no master!", Dobby said with strength, Dobby's a free elf! And he came to save Harry Potter and his friends!"

Everyone grabbed Dobby, what ever they could, arms or the robe he had, so they could get out of there. As they started to twist around, Bellatrix threw her dagger, hoping it would get to them in time and it did, the dagger apparated with them and a grin appeared in her face. Kat hit the wet sand and opened her eyes to find an impact of light. She saw Hermione laying beside her with Ron on his knees and she crawled to her.

"You alright?", she said quick and Hermione nodded while Ron got her to her knees

Fred and George got on their knees besides Kat and hold her while Harry hurried to them.

"We're all alright. We're safe now."

Harry got down to them and counted with his stare everyone was there, but there was someone missing. Someone who they owed him their lives.

"Harry Potter…"

Everyone looked to the tiny weak elf that stood a few feet away from them. Kat let out a gasp as she covered her mouth and lifted herself more. Fred and George hold her as Harry ran to him and caught him right before Dobby hit the ground.

"Dobby, hold on, hold on, please!", Harry began his cries

As Harry asked for help, Kat's heart started to shattered hearing his cries for help. Was worst was that Hermione, or no one, could help. Kat got up, trembling and she felt Fred and George's hand slowly let go of her. She got on her knees besides Harry with Dobby taking his last breath.

"Such a lovely place…to be with friends…"

"Dobby…don't", Harry said, almost whispering in his cries

"Harry…Potter…"

With that he let out a sigh and his eyes stared blankly at nowhere. Kat's head fell on Harry's shoulder as his rested on hers for comfort. Kat, dropping tears, moved her hand to close Dobby's eyes and let her hand hit the sand again. Luna and Ollivander stood with the others and Griphook, watching with sadness. Luna got close too to comfort Harry as he kept crying. Harry got up with trembling legs and Kat followed. Fred and George went to her and grabbed her hands. Everyone walked together to the Shell Cotage to find Bill and Fleur, already outside. Sad too since they had seen everything. When they went inside Fleur quickly took Hermione to a room and took care of her wounds along with Kat. She gave her some pills for the pain and took care of the bruises on her back and waist.

"Hermione…", Kat said grabbing her hand, "I'm sorry I couldn't stop this."

"Kat…", she said, not really knowing what to say, "it's not your fault…you were also in trouble…I'm sorry I just lay there and let her do that to me."

Kat shook her head and tighten up the grip. After, both got up and hugged and Kat kissed her head. The next day, early in the morning, everyone went outside to a little hill where Harry had dug a hole and placed a stone in front of it. Ron had Dobby wrapped in a blanket in his arms and he gave him to Harry, who placed him gently in the hole. After, both started to cover the hole with the sand and they stood in front of the little grave for a few minutes, re-reading in their minds 'Here lies Dobby, a free elf.' After they slowly walked back into the Shell Cottage and sat on the living room, except for Griphook and Ollivander. To change the subject, Hermione asked about Kat and the twins' adventures and they told them the hole story since Kat acted dead to the day they found them. Kat tried to cut the snogging to avoid getting Ron sick, even if Fred and George mentioned a few moments just to bother him.

"You won't be thinking that way, Ronikins", Fred said

"Once you hit it of with Hermione", George added

Everyone laughed, except for Ron, who turned red and Hermione just chuckled, turning a bit pink.

"Well, I think you three should go home.", Bill said to Fred, George and Kat, "You've given mum too much of a scared already."

"No! I wanna stay with Hermione", Kat said

"If she stays, we stay", George said as Fred nodded

"Kat, its better if you go back", Hermione said

"Then you come with us, the three of you."

"Stop this!", Harry snapped, getting up, and scaring everyone, "you three have to go, alright? We're staying, unless they want to go!"

Like that he walked out, making everyone look at each other. He was fine a second ago, talking and laughing. Kat got up from Fred's lap and walked out to him. Harry was far from the cottage already, staring at the solid sand.

"Harry…?", she asked as she got closer, "you alright?"

Harry took a deep breath and turned around.

"I'm glad to see you, I am, Kat. To see you alive, also to see Fred and George are fine and to know their parents are too, but…you can't stay with us. We still have a lot to do and I don't want anyone else risking their lives for me."

"Understand it's hard for me, for all of us, to have you three wondering around while there's a war and you-know-who's looking for you. You two are gonna bump halfway."

"When the time comes…then I'll ask for your help. I know you will come if I call you. Just, leave, stay safe and prepare for that time."

Kat gave a long blink and a deep breath. Harry kept asking her to leave with the twins and take cover trough his eyes. She could also see he was scare for her and the others and thought it was better and less pressure to him to have three more of his friends running around.

"You don't know how I got when I heard you've died…or how scare I was while you, Fred and George told me that story…when you said that boggart showed both of them dead…remember how you felt…I wouldn't be able to concentrate with you three running around, and more to know Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are alone at the Burrow. You also need to take care of them, Lupin and Tonks as well, Kat."

"Alright, Harry", she said nodding, "I'll leave, for you. Just know I'll be watching and if I catch danger, I will come."

Harry hesitated, but nodded, accepting it was fair. She went closer and gave him a tight hug filled with trust and comfort, the same way he hugged back.
