Krystal Marie Scheick was running as fast as her feet could take her with a child in one hand and her younger sister's hand in the other.
"Kita, come on." The 27 year old begged her little sister.
"Where are we going?" The teen asked.
"I told you, to the Headquarters." Krystal said running faster. About two miles further and the girls came to a stop.
"Come on." Krystal panted walking to the door. "Molly!" She yelled as she walked through the door.
"She's not here. Who are you?" A man asked.
"Krystal Scheick, you?"
"Remus Lupin. Molly's at the Burrow." At she heard those words she handed the child to her sister. "Stay here, stay safe. I love you." She said kissing the 17 year old on the head. "If you need me I'll be at the Burrow." Krystal continued and she left with a crack. Kita walked up the stairs holding the 7 year old, who amazingly was fast asleep.
Krystal appeared in front of the Burrow and ran to the door, where she knocked franticly.
"Yes. Yes. Alright." A voice called from inside. Instantly Krystal knew it to be Molly Weasley's.
"Molly, Molly please. Please help me." She cried no longer having to be strong for her sister.
"Krystal?" Molly gasped in surprise as she opened the door wide enough for Krystal to walk in. "What happened? Here dear, sit down. Would you like something?" Molly asked worried.
"No thank you." Krystal said quietly.
"What happened?" Molly asked again placing a cup of hot tea in front of the shivering girl.
"There was an attack." She whispered quietly, "Mum's dead. Kathy, Kerri, Kelly, they're all dead." She cried. "Only me, Kita and Katie got out. They took Kara."
"Oh. You poor dear." Molly responded with tears filling her eyes. "Where are Kita and Katie?"
"They're at the Order. We went there first." She said as one of the Weasley twins came down from upstairs.
"Mum, what's going on?" He asked.
"Fred, Krystal's here." Molly answered and Krystal spun around and ran over to Fred. She buried her head into his shoulder and cried as he stood in shock.
"Krys, what's wrong?" He asked quietly as her sobs died down.
"They're dead. My family's dead. All of them." She whispered, "Me, Kita and Katie ran. They took Kara. Fred I'm so sorry."
"Kara?" He asked in shock. She nodded her head slowly trying to slow her tears down.
A knock came from the door and three replies of 'Who is it?' was called out. "It's me. Kita. Let me in." Instantly Krystal wiped her tears and made it so there was no sign of her crying at all.
"What are you doing here? I told you to stay put." The older sister said harshly.
"I did, but then Katie woke up and now she won't stop fussing." Kita said referring to the 7 year old thrashing about in her arms. Krystal took the girl, and she settled down immediately.
"What's goin' on down here?" A new voice asked causing everyone to turn around and face the source.
"Bill." Krystal said some-what happily. "I haven't seen you in almost 8 years."
Krystal told her story again and was now sitting on a couch in front of the fire with Katie asleep in her arms. "Kry?" Bill asked softly causing her to look up.
"No one calls me that anymore. I suppose you can though." She replied just as soft as he sat down next to her.
Merlin I've missed him. Krystal thought, but her thoughts were cut short as the door creaked open.
"Beel?" A female voice called from around the corner, "Should ve use silver or blue for zee wedding?"
'Wedding?' Krystal mouthed looking at Bill.
"Who are zey?" The voice said this time in front of the three on the couch. Krystal looked up to see a woman with blue eyes, long silvery-blonde hair and pearly white teeth. Krystal had to admit, she was stunning. And yet, the only thought running through Krystal's head was, Who is she?.
"This is Krystal, she's a family friend." Bill responded causing Krystal to look at him in shock. I have been have been his best friend since before we could walk and went out with him for 14 years. But I'm a 'family friend'? She thought angrily as her crystal blue eyes flared.
