Chapter 38: Trouble on the Horizon

Narcissa Malfoy entered the Ministry with a single mission. As she walked through the atrium to the lifts she was stared at and whispered about by many on lookers. She felt horribly embarrassed but still she pressed on to the lifts and up to the sixth floor.

"I want to see the Minister," she said with as much courage as she could muster.

"I'll see if she's in," Amelia stated coldly as she stood and entered the office.

Narcissa was forced to sit and wait for several minutes before the secretary came out and stated, "She'll see you now."

Narcissa stood and quickly entered shutting the door firmly behind her.

"What is it Narcissa?" Katherine sighed as she looked up from her work.

"I want my son back Aunt Katherine. What have you done with him?" she cried sitting in the chair across from the desk.

"I'm keeping him safe for the time being. When this war is over you can have him returned," Katherine said coldly as she pushed the chair back and crossed her arms.

"But Aunt Katherine I…"

"No Buts Narcissa. Just because your grandfather married my sister does not mean you can get what ever you want from me. I'm doing this for you own good. You married a bastard plain and simple. Abraxous himself said Lucius was a bum. If you want your son alive you'll stop all this nonsense. However if you feel you want to tell your Lord about this I won't stop you. You're a grown woman and it is your decision," Katherine replied.

Narcissa sniffed and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

"He's not going to like it. You've pushed him back so far he's furious with everyone," Narcissa exclaimed, "He wants you dead as much as Potter."

"Well he knows where to find me," Katherine shot.

Narcissa stared at her Aunt for several minutes before leaving.

Weeks later Katherine and Damien were having a quiet dinner with Minerva and her family at their summer home when they received a patronus there was trouble at Pivet Drive. Potsy was called to watch Honoria and they all apparated to Surrey; Harry with Albus.

The group rushed to Pivet Drive and Katherine let out an unholy scream when she saw her house in a fire blaze.

Both Number Five and Four were set ablaze and firemen were desperately trying to put out the flames.

"NOOOOO! Fiona! Fiooonnaa!" Katherine screamed as she dashed toward the house.

She dodged the firemen and police officers rushing into the burning building. Several agonizing and tense minutes went by before they saw Katherine come back out of the house. She was covered in soot and coughing so bad the firemen had to give her some oxygen and the paramedics checked her for burns and other wounds.

"What were you thinking!?" Minerva exclaimed as they rushed over to where she was sitting on the ambulance back.

"I wanted my sister…I found her," Katherine sighed as tears were pouring down her face.

"Oh mama," Minerva sobbed holding her mother tightly.

Both women sobbed over the loss.

Katherine was truly the last of her kind now. She was the last Harris…the last of a dynasty.

Sure she had an army of children and grandchildren but that was different. They were more of her husband's dynasty.

Three days later at Dragon Heart Manor; the Harris Estate, as they were laying Fiona's body to rest Katherine received a disturbing letter.

Your sister is just the beginning. When this is over you and the McGonagalls will be non existent. I look forward to seeing you Aunt Katherine.

Voldemort

Katherine set the letter on fire in her hands and dropped it to the ground. She was not letting some snot nosed brat with a superiority complex tell her what to do.

Yes the Dursleys are dead...but I doubt anyone really cared. XD
