I had too much fun with this!

Chapter 35

Special Visitor

I met Draco at the usual meeting place. We stared at each other before I ran into his arms.

"It's alright Katherine."

"How many more people have to die? How many more families have to be torn apart before this all ends?" I asked.

"I don't know. But I do know that as long as I have you, I'll fight you-know-who myself."

I had to smile at him.

"My brother told me that he saw my parents in the graveyard that night. He said they told him to tell me that they loved me."

"I thought that…"

"They are, but something happened when they were fighting. I don't know what it was, but I believe he saw them."

He nodded and we looked down at all the students. The other schools were leaving today. I saw Fleur and Gabrielle each give Ron a kiss. I smirked and shook my head.

"Well Weasley looks happy."

I laughed a bit and turned to him.

"I'm happier here with you."

"Me too."

He kissed my lips and there we stayed in a tight embrace.

I had barely been back at the Dursley's a week when the doorbell rang.

"Get the door girl!" Uncle Vernon spat.

I growled but did as he asked. I smiled when I saw who it was.

"Door for you Uncle Vernon."

He came waddling down the hall and he looked confused.

"What do you want?"

I stepped back and Snape stepped inside. Aunt Petunia came into the hall and her eyes went wide.

"It can't be!"

"Oh it is. Nice to see you again Miss Evans." he said.

She looked a little worried.

"You're one of them aren't you!? Get out of my home!" Uncle Vernon shouted.

Snape narrowed his eyes dangerously and I smirked. I knew he wouldn't do anything to harm them, but it was still amusing.

"I won't be leaving until I've spoken to you about your treatment of my goddaughter…..and her brother."

I smiled at the last part and he walked into the family room. He sat down and Uncle Vernon looked at me.

"Don't blame me. You're the one who won't let me release Eglantine."

He glared at me and I sat down in the kitchen, continuing to read my book.

"Katherine come in here. You need to be part of this conversation." Snape said.

I jumped up from the chair and sat down in a chair next to him. His dark eyes wandered from my aunt to my uncle.

"I know what you've done with her and her brother. Forcing them to cook and clean for you and your pathetic child. Treating them like the dirt on which you walk. It makes me sick to know that any human being could stoop so low and do such things. To a child no less! What makes it worse is that it's my godchild! If it weren't for the fact that I won't separate her from her brother I would take her to live with me. I don't have room for two children in my house. I cannot spend a day without worrying about her being here. About what you might be doing to her. She's all I have left in this world and I won't have her mistreated, or her brother. Make no mistake I will know if something happens to her, I will know if you treat her poorly. Should this happen I will take her away, even if I have to take her by force."

I looked at him in surprise.

"I don't care if I have to separate her from her brother I won't let her stay in a home where she is mistreated. She is special to me and I want her life to be a happy one. Should you threaten that plan you will suffer my wrath." he said.

A smile came to my face.

He really does care.

He stood up and I walked with him to the door. We walked outside and he looked at me.

"If something happens I expect you to let me know."

I nodded.

"I promise. And thanks for coming. I think they'll be too afraid to say or do anything to me now. And thanks for letting me be there when you did come."

He smirked.

"I said I would. Now be safe and careful until the start of term."

I gave him a cheeky grin.

"No promises."

He growled something that I couldn't understand and shook his head. He walked away and I laughed.
