So Cold:

Julia didn't know what to do, if she went back inside then she could be attacked by whatever had hurt Ms.Figgs' cats, but if she stayed outside and Ms. Figg was still inside, still okay, then it would be on her head if she died.

Her mind made up Julia put Mr. Tibbles down beside the front door. She pulled her wand out as she stepped inside once again.

Something was different this time, the air felt thicker than it had the last time, even though it had been less than five minutes since she had last been in the house.

It was colder.

As Julia advanced further into the house the air got colder and thicker. She didn't want to think about what that meant.

She was almost to the kitchen when she felt it, that icy grip around her heart. She stopped, "dementors"

Julia was tempted to just turn around and run to number four and Harry. The only thing that stopped her was her need to find Ms. Figg. She didn't know if her friend was dead or not, but the least she could do, would be to find out.

Julia slowly walked down the hall toward the kitchen. As she reached the half waypoint she heard laughter. Malicious laughter. Julia didn't know why she hadn't heard it before but she knew that it didn't bode well for ms. Figg.

" Well your damn cats are dead, and that stupid little brats found them. You don't have long now. Never fear. Stupid Squib."

Julia stopped in her tracks when she heard the voice speak. It was a trap.

Shit

Julia turned back towards the front of the house and escape. She didn't move though, she was waging a battle of wills.

You can't leave Ms. Figg. It's not right.

I have no other choice. I can't stay it's a trap.

If you leave her, anything that happens to her afterwards will be on your head.

She might live if I leave. They're only waiting for me to come before they kill her.

You cant.

I have to.

Julia's battle of wills was cut short as strong hands grabbed her arm and swung her around. She came face to face with none other than Lucius Malfoy.


Severus Snape was just finishing his final plans for the sixth year's assignments and notes when someone came barging through his door.

"Professor, you have to stop them"

Severus put down his wand that he had drawn when his door slammed open; he never had any visitors at his house.

" Draco, what are you doing here? What's happened?"


Draco Malfoy was a dead man and he knew it. He had just betrayed his Family and The dark lord, to a known death eater. No matter how much Draco trusted Professor Snape he didn't think that he would live to see the sun rise.

"Now tell me again Draco what exactly did your father say?"

Draco took a deep breath before answering his Godfather.

"He said that now that he was out of prison, he would make Potter pay. The dark lord had given him an assignment that he said would make up for the 'department fiasco'. I don't know what he's going to do, but its wrong. This whole thing is wrong."

Draco couldnt stop himself. He was confiding in the only man he trusted. This man would probably kill him. Yes that was the only man he trusted.

"He said that he would strike at Potters' heart by attacking what was closest to him. I didn't believe that dad had taken the mark; I thought that everyone was lying. I didn't believe. I thought that Potter was lying."

"Draco, do you know what exactly, your father meant when he said that he was going to strike at potters heart?"

Draco looked up at his godfather. "No he didn't say, when mother found out that he was home she sent me to you. I only heard that much because father was yelling at us. He's going to be so angry with me. I'm in so much trouble."

Severus looked at his godson, one of the few people that he loved in this world, one of the few people he cared about.

" Draco your in more trouble than you know. I'm sorry, Stupefy"

Dracos' face went wide in shock before the spell hit him.

After the spell hit him he fell forward onto the desk. Severus rushed around the desk and caught Draco before he hit the floor.

" I'm so sorry Draco"

He picked Draco up and put him on a couch situated in the middle of the room before going to the fireplace. He grabbed some floo powder from a small clay pot and threw it in the fireplace.

"Albus Dumbledore" he shouted before he stuck his head in the green flames.


" Hello Potter, so nice of you to join us."

Julia shivered and tried to pull away from Malfoys' powerful grip. That proved to be of no avail.

" Sorry Potter, no such luck today." Malfoy laughed nastily.

He then pulled Julia into the kitchen. In the kitchen there were two more death eaters and one dementor waiting for her.

"Where's Ms. Figg you slimy bastards"?

Malfoy chuckled again. " Who are you to make demands of us, Potter? It doesn't seem like your in control of the situation, now does it?"

"You should tell her, it would be a nice gesture on our part." The tallest death eater said in a gravely voice.

Julia suddenly didn't want to see Ms. Figg anymore.

She had a bad feeling about Ms. Figg. What had happened to her?

She was cold.

" You heard the man, let me see her." Julia knew no matter what had happened to her, she had to know what had happened.

"What a brave little girl, she thinks she can talk to us like that. Like she's in charge. What a brave stupid little girl." Bellatrix Lastrange said in a babyish voice.

Julia kept a mental tab of who was there.

Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Lastrange, and the mystery man, and of course the dementor.

The dementor was standing, or rather floating in the corner of the kitchen. Julia noticed that all three-death eaters had kept their distance from the dementor. They were afraid of it.

"Well lets do as the little brat asked, go get her, manacair." Lastrange said. So that's who the gravely voice belonged to.

Manacair strode over to the walk in pantry on the other side of the kitchen and pulled out Ms.Figg. Something was wrong with her but what? Julia couldnt tell.

"Ms.Figg, are you okay?" Julia asked, but received no response. Something was terribly wrong with her.

Ms.Figg had no expression on her face. She had no Figg'ness left. It looked like she had no sense of self.

"What did you do to her, what did you do?"

"We did what we had to, what your about to experience. Look your future in the face Potter!" Malfoy snarled.

Suddenly he threw her toward the Dementor.

"Stop!"

Julia saw a swish of robes and laughter from the death eaters as Remus Lupin and a hooded person entered the Kitchen, before the dementor grabbed her throat and brought its face closer to Julia's, before she knew it every thing had gone black. She could see nothing.

"Selubrious!"

A cold chill suddenly took over her body, colder than the dementors. Then, when she thought it couldn't get any colder, she felt the dementor take a deep breath, the chill spread to the tips of her fingers, she didn't think that there could be a colder place on earth than where she was.

Suddenly the dementor let go of her and she fell to the floor. She could see again, though everything was blue rimmed. The death eaters were cornered in the pantry, two Order members had arrived in addition to Remus and the hooded figure.

"The damage has been done. Out lord will be pleased." Malfoy was saying.

"What did you do", Remus shouted?

The hooded man strode over to Julia, and she could see who it was.

"The dark lord will never forgive you Severus. He never forgives traitors. Remember what happened to Karkoff. Look forward to that, as your end." Bellatrix said before all three Death Eaters Disapparated.

"Potter, are you okay?" Snape asked.

Julia didn't know how to answer, she was so tired, so cold, she just wanted to sleep. There was something she had to do before she could let sleep come.

She lifted a weak-shaking hand and grabbed Snapes' robes, "you have to get her cat. She loves that cat."

"We will Potter, we will"

"Thank you." Was all Julia could say before she let sleep take her.
