After getting her books and
robes Kay Apperated home instead of using Floo Powder. As she opened the door
she noticed something was not right, as she searched the house, nothing was
missing or anything until she got to the dinning room. On top of the papers was
a white envelope addressed in blood red ink that read, Kayla L. Hatter. Kay's
hands trembled as she opened the seal, while had the death mark on it, which
meant it was not good news. The seal broke and out fell a piece of parchment
with the words: "YOU'LL BE NEXT" in blood red ink, the same as the address.
Kay had panic written all
over her face, be remained calm. She sat down on her couch and started
breathing staggered. Calm down Kay, it may be some kind of a joke. This
couldn't be a joke; you'd have to be sick in the mind to think this was funny. Should
I owl Sirius? NO! It would worry him too much; he has Harry to worry about.
Kay turned on the television and decided to keep it out of her mind.
At about 6:30 Kay sat down
to her dinner, nothing had happened so she thought it was a sick joke. At 7:00
she had washed the dishes and then it happened, the door was banged open. There
stood Lord Voldemort, with his red eyes and two slits for a nose. Next to him
stood the fat, short, bald man he called "Wormtail".
Kay let out a scream and
took out her wand. She was too late, Voldemort had already sent something at
her, "Crucio" he said in a cold voice.
Kay dropped to the floor in
pain, pain she never felt before this. She lifted up her head and then her wand
and barely in a whisper said "Ex-Expelliarmus.", but nothing happened.
"Kayla, if you join me your
pain will be gone."
"Never."
"Join or die Kayla, it's
your choice."
"Die."
"I think I'll have a little
fun. Trachoium!" He yelled as Kay was picked of the ground and thrown
against the wall, she heard something crack and knew at once one of her ribs
had broken. "Rictiunim!" a beam came from his wand and hit Kay in the
shoulder, it too started to hurt badly. Kay was on the floor barely alive when
if finally said, "After you Kayla I will get Harry Potter for I have found a
way to get past those charms, now for the final touch…Avada Kedavra";
everything went black.
***
Sirius walked up the street
in his dog form. He had heard the Voldemort might be near where Kay was
living. As he walked up horror struck his face, right above her roof was the Dark
Mark. He ran to the open door and walked in. There was no sign of Kay
anywhere in the living room, or upstairs. Could she be-. He walked into
the dinning room and was horrified; Kay was lying on the floor, with blood
streaming down her right arm.
Sirius immediately returned
to his human form, running towards Kay hoping that she would still be alive.
"Kay can you hear me? Kay!"
he yelled.
"S-Sirius?" she whispered.
"Oh thank God."
"S-Sirius. H-he knows h-how
to g-get to H-Harry." she stuttered.
"But, Dumbledore said--"
"He k-knows how to g-get
through the charms." Kay tried to get up, but fell back down in pain. Some of
her bones were broken, her shoulder was in pain and her arm was the worst.
"Kay, just stay still. I'll
get help."
"Were already here Sirius,"
a voice said from behind him. He turned around afraid that it was the Ministry.
It wasn't it was Dumbledore and Remus Lupin standing in the doorway.
"Quick get her out of here,
he might come back." Remus said.
"She's hurt too bad. I
think he broke some of her bones."
Remus had conjured a
stretcher and gotten Kay on it, without her screaming in pain, and taken via
Floo Powder, to Hogwarts.
"She said something,
Dumbledore." Sirius finally said.
"What was that, Sirius."
"That Voldemort has found a
way to get to Harry."
"I made sure that he
wouldn't be able to when I left Harry with his aunt and uncle."
"She said he found a way to
break the charms."
"I will go to Harry and you
go to Kayla. She may know more." and he was gone. Sirius left to, by Floo
Powder, to go with Kay.

Harry Potter was sitting at the kitchen table at The Burrow when
Dumbledore appeared out of now where. All the Weasley's were shocked and
speechless.
"Molly, Arthur, I need
Harry to come with me, there has been another attack."
"On who?" Arthur Weasley
asked.
"On…Kayla Hatter."
"My Lord! Is she alright?"
Molly asked while standing up.
"The poor thing is barely
alive."
"But, we just saw her a
couple of hours ago. How could this happen?" Arthur asked.
"I don't know, but the
Hatter's are a very powerful family. I suspect he wanted her on his side."
"Okay, everyone out, let us
talk to Professor Dumbledore alone." All the Weasley children, Harry and
Hermione walked out of the kitchen, glumly.
"Do you think she'll be
okay?" Molly asked.
"I don't know. She had some
of her bones broken and her arm was bleeding very badly."
"The poor child."
"I know Molly, but this is
about Harry. She told Sirius about what Voldemort said, he knows how to get to
Harry. I want to take him to Hogwarts; he'll be safe there. I'm not saying it's
not safe here, but I think it would be a bit better if he was being watch even
more thoroughly."
"You're right. He should
go. Harry!" Arthur yelled. Harry came walking in.
"Yes, Mr. Weasley?"
"You should go with
Dumbledore back to Hogwarts. It'll be safer there, we don't want what happened
to Kayla to happen to you."
"But--"
"No buts Harry, this is
your safety."
"Yes, sir. I'll go get my
things." Harry left and went up the stairs.
***
They had gotten Kay up to
the Hospital Wing at Hogwarts safely and she was going to be fine. Madam
Pomfrey was franticly trying to help Kay but she refused to go anywhere near
the silver needle that Madam Pomfrey needed to give her medicine with.
"I don't act well towards
silver!" she bellowed.
"Miss. Hatter, it won't
hurt a bit." she said while grabbing her arm; Kay couldn't pull her arm away.
Just as the needle touched her skin, it started to burn her.
"Ow!" she screamed.
"Madam Pomfrey, there is
something I haven't told you about Kay." Sirius said.
"And what's that?" she said
angrily.
"Kay is a werewolf. She
won't touch a thing with silver in it or she starts to burn."
Kay nodded her head in
agreement.
"Fine, fine. This means she
is going to be staying a while. It's the only way I can fix bones broken as bad
as hers."
"I hate hospitals." Kay
said under her breath.
"What was that?" Madam
Pomfrey asked.
"Nothing. Nothing."
***
"You have to go?" Ron asked
as his friend was putting his stuff back into his trunk.
"They think it'll be safer
at Hogwarts." he said simply.
"But, it's safe here too."
"Ron, do you know what
happened to that girl?"
"No."
"She has broken ribs and
other bones. I don't want that to happen to any of you. So just let me go."
His friend stood there
speechless as Harry took his trunk down the stairs.
" 'Bye Harry." Hermione
said as ginny just stood their, shocked at the news she had heard.
" 'Bye Hermione."
"Ready to go Harry?" Dumbledore
asked.
"Yeah."
He threw some powder into
the fire and yelled "Hogwarts!" then turned to Harry, "You first Harry." Harry
took his trunk and himself through the fire and Dumbledore left behind him. In
a second they were both gone.
