Nanoa moved into the kitchen to prepare for their arrival. Out numbered, wands were most likely to be useless. She opened up one of the cupboards and reached into the back to pull out a knife in a leathery sheath that attacked to her jeans. Then she fixed her wand into its pocket and pulling down one of the hanging pans. Nanoa took a deep breath, she and Kris had faced Death Eaters before, but they had never been the ones that were trapped as they usually attacked.

The elevator dinged and Nanoa tightened her grip around the handle. Footsteps were already moving around the apartment but it was only one set. She was praying that there were more of them because of Kris. Then he was coming into the kitchen, but there was no sign of his wand or head, hitting him anywhere else pointless. The body stopped coming into the kitchen and Nanoa knew she had to draw it back.

She reached for a glass and pulled out a sack from her pocket before stuffing it into the glass. Then she rolled it off a few feet and the sack exploded, but instead an exploding sound, it made the sound of a falling body. It seemed to have worked; the Death Eater was returning and walking toward the sound. Nanoa swung the pan, but he stopped it in midair, without turning around.

Nanoa fought to get the pan back, but gave up quickly and reached for her wand. She was unable to find it in time. However, the Death Eater had already turned around to use her own weapon against her. She was knocked hard across the head and went sliding across the counter. Nanoa fell off the other side onto the broken glass.

She gasped from the pain and pushed off her stomach. Nanoa put her arm over it to find that her stomach was bleeding. Suddenly, she felt someone grab her by her hair and toss her against the armchair's back in the next room. Nanoa tried to get up but the Death Eater kicked her hard in the stomach forcing her to fall back into the armchair and clutch her stomach.

He pressed his against Nanoa's throat, but she was not ready to give up. Nanoa used both her feet to kick off of him. The chair toppled over backwards and Nanoa somersaulted to her feet. She pulled out her double knife and threw it at him. The Death Eater's hands were pinned against the wall. Nanoa breathed a sigh of relief, but then someone from behind covered her mouth with a cloth and it must have had chlorophyll on it because Nanoa's mind dizzied away from her as she fell to the floor.

Meanwhile, Kris was preparing for her job. She had stuffed Ron under her bed and was beginning for her climb. Kris took a deep breath before opening up the window and putting her wand into its appropriate spot.

"Where are you going?" Ron asked, popping out of his hiding spot.

"Get back under there. If we don't come to get you, stay there until morning," Kris ordered.

"So you're just going to leave Nanoa and me for dead?"

"Ron, Nanoa and I have done this for a long time." Kris knelt down to kiss Ron. "As long as I can make it so only three Death Eaters are in the apartment, she'll be fine. Now relax, stressing out is only good for making you give away your position and may even lead to your death."

Ron gulped,

"Good luck, sweetheart."

Kris pushed her boyfriend back into his hiding spot and rose to her feet. She took a deep breath and reminded herself that she was a good climber. Kris went out the window and began climbing. It was easy. She had scaled the side of her apartment before; she always thought of it as a good way clear her head.

Soon she was hanging on the second ledge of the building's roof and took another deep breath and then launched herself upwards. Within a second, Kris had her wand out and ready, but there was no one there. She looked around in puzzlement then she suddenly remembered what Ron had told her, 'Nanoa thought it was a prank, at first, then said something about it coming from someone she used to know.'

"Crud Bucket!" Kris cursed.

She ran over to the edge of the building and her instinct was right. Six Death Eaters were swarming out of the building one of the center ones having Nanoa's lifeless body swung over his broad shoulders. Then there was a deafening crack and they were gone. Kris knew that one of the Malfoys had to be behind her kidnapping. She rushed back down the side of the building and threw herself back into her room. Kris reached under her bed and dragged Ron out by the scruff of his shirt.

"Get what you need. We're heading to the ministry," Kris commanded before letting go of Ron.

"What happened?"

"I said move it!"

She shoved Ron toward the door and passed into the kitchen. There was blood on the floor but Kris knew that Nanoa was alive. The elevator dinged and Ron guardedly joined her inside it. The doors shut and they began to move downward.

"Is it safe to ask what happened?" Ron squeaked.

"They took Nanoa. She must have flinched at the sight of him and he betrayed her, just like I knew he would," Kris answered.

"Who's he?"

"Malfoy. She ended up falling for him in seventh year and Nanoa was crazy enough to think that he could change. She still believes it to this day."

"Malfoy? You have got to be kidding me." Kris looked over at him and Ron could tell by her face that she wasn't. "Bloody hell. I knew that jerk was trouble, I should have thought something was going on when Nanoa said she was only going into the Head's dormitory to talk to Mandy Brocklehurst."
