Disclaimer: Harry Potter and associates belong to a certain wonderful author whose name I can never remember how to spell. The Blackwoods, ShadowWalkers and others are mine. No money is being made from this, etc. This is AU after OOTP as Sirius is still very much alive! He's such a lovable mutt! This will either be Draco/Kat or Severus/Kat. Vote please! Started out leaning towards Sev but not sure now. She is 3 years Draco's elder though. PLEASE REVIEW!!! On with the Story!!!

Prologue

Kat glared at her boss who, unfortunately, wasn't fazed at all by her murderous expression. In fact, he seemed to be fighting a smile.

"Can't you send anyone else? I can't go back there! Nick and Alex have always wanted to go, send them." She was practically begging and she knew it. Josh simply sighed as he looked at his best operative and foster-daughter. Neither she or her father had told him why they'd fled their homeland but he had his suspicions.

"We need someone who knows the lay of the land and you're the best we've got."

"I was four! I barely remember anything, just vague images of a house and what may have been a shopping alley."

"But you never lost your accent. You'll blend better than us Yanks. Besides, maybe you'll finally find out more about your family, I know Anthony changed your names. Check the Ministry for your birth records. Please Kath, I'm begging you." He held her gaze until she looked down.

"You win, orders?"

"Find out everything you can about the current situation using whatever means necessary. Their Royal Highnesses don't care as long as you don't take the mark. Get a job at the Ministry, teach at Hogwarts, date a Death Eater, whatever."

"Want me to nick the Crown Jewels while I'm at it?" The glare was back.

"That'd be childsplay for you and we both know it."

"Good point. Maybe I'll steal Voldy's wand, that should be slightly more challenging." She grinned.

"Do try not to get killed, I'd hate to have to start from scratch again. Report back once a week and don't blow your cover!"

"Would I do something like that?" This time it was his turn to glare.
