Chapter 37: Runaway
May 22, 1945 Hogwarts School if Witchcraft and Wizardry…
"And Venerick, Xena?" Katherine called off her list.
"Here," the second year called.
"All right that's everyone. Have a pleasant night children and sleep well," Katherine stated.
"Yes Professor," the students' nodded heading to their dorms.
"Professor McGonagall how much longer is this going to last?" Fifth year Draken Larkin asked.
"Till the war is over," Katherine sighed, "I know this isn't ideal but it is the best way to know you are all safe. Grindelwald's Scottish followers are trying to infiltrate all the time."
Draken nodded as he headed up the stairs.
Katherine sighed and exited the common room and headed up to her sleeping quarters. She had just entered when the hand mirror on her desk started buzzing. She sat down at her desk and grabbed the mirror frowning when she saw her husband and friend's faces in it.
"What's going on?" Katherine asked.
"WHY THE BLOODY HELL IS MINERVA FIGHTING THE WAR!?" the men shouted together.
Katherine's head twitched at the decibel of their voices and had to put the mirror down a second before answering.
"What the hell are you talking about Minerva's in bed she finished her OWLs just yesterday afternoon," Katherine stated.
"Oh really? Have you seen her since then?" Benjamin asked.
"Well I've been busy with having to tell a first year she's an orphan as well as making sure my House is in their dorms at night. This was not my week to check Gryffindor so I haven't officially called roll there and there are only a few days left of school so…"
"Excuse, excuses! Katherine damn it you should have known she left to find Albus!" Percival snapped.
"If you have her send her home," Katherine stated.
The men looked at each other and sighed.
"Benjamin Orion where's my child?" Katherine asked.
"We only know Mina is here by hearsay. Albus' detail is closer to the front at Numrangard," Benjamin stated.
"What!?" Katherine asked and dashed out of the room.
She ran all the way to Gryffindor Tower where the Fat Lady let her in without a password. Katherine ran up to the fifth year girl's dormitories and checked everyone not finding her daughter anywhere.
"Honoria….Honoria Jones wake up," Katherine hissed shaking a young girl out of bed.
"Wh-what? Professor McGonagall?" the girl yawned rubbing her eyes.
"Honoria have you seen Minerva anywhere?" Katherine asked urgently.
"Uh no ma'am…uh not since…gee not since yesterday," the child admitted, "Is something wrong?"
"I hope not. Go back to sleep dear," Katherine sighed hurrying out of the room.
She came back to her quarters and took up the mirror.
"Damn it is it too much to ask for a child not be so…so like me!?" Katherine huffed.
"So what are we going to do?" Percival asked.
"Well she's too damn stubborn. We bring her back she'll run again. I think she's infatuated or either in love with him," Benjamin sighed.
"So I'm coming to be with her. Leave her with you men and I get her back in a sling," Katherine stated and turned the mirror off.
"She's mad," Ben sighed as the mirror returned to normal.
"I'm not sure who is in more trouble here," Percival stated.
"It's a toss up definitely," Ben sighed.
"Should we warn them?" Percival asked.
"She knew what she was getting into when she ran off. Let her face her mother on her own," Benjamin stated.
"That's rather mean," Percival smirked as they exited their tent.
"Hell I'm just as scared of my wife!" Benjamin stated.
"I don't believe it she really ran off!?" Dippit exclaimed, "How did nobody notice!?"
"What with the OWLs and the deaths it's been hard to keep track of everyone," Professor Gorgon stated.
"It's my fault sir I had Gryffindor this week," Professor Miz sighed.
"It doesn't matter whose fault it is. The point is my child is out there and I have to go get her!" Katherine exclaimed.
"Yes by all means. I'll give the final to your other classes and school is out in two weeks anyway so go," Dippit nodded, "and Merlin be with you."
"Thank you sir," Katherine nodded dashing out.
"What about her other child?" Miz asked.
"I'm certain Katherine will speak with Kendra before she runs off to Germany herself," Dippit stated, "Now about the Slytherins…"
"Yes I'll pick her up and everything Kate. You should have told her before you left," Kendra stated watching her friend back a small hiking backpack.
"Wasn't time. You can tell her though or Dippit will. I have to find Minerva. The men maybe able to keep her safe but I'd feel better being by her. If she wants to fight that's fine but I'll be damned if she thinks she's doing it alone," Katherine stated swinging the bag over her shoulders.
"I understand. Be safe though. Please don't die on me," Kendra replied hugging her friend tightly.
"I don't intend to," Katherine replied returning the hugging and then leaving with a pop.
