Ron POV
There was a flood of calls that morning at the Auror department and Harry was nowhere to be found. His turn starts at six in the afternoon and he was obviously sleeping, Ronald Weasley his best friend knew that. He called him as soon as the calls stopped for a moment. He let the phone rang a couple of times. Then a sleepy voice answered 'What's wrong Ron?' he said 'We need you at Oxford Street Harry, there is a crazy former Death Eater threatening people just to see you.' his voice sounded concerned. 'I'll be there in 5' Harry said before he hung up.
Harry POV
Damned be Ron, he was dreaming about the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. But he had to let his dream go and start thinking about his duty. In all the years he had been working for the Auror's Department at the Ministry this wasn't the first time they have come up with a situation like this. Everybody knew where he worked at, and many have tried to kill him or just get a signed photo by using tricks like calling and saying someone had attacked their house just to get to him. Instead of taking his car he used the apparition, and just as he said, he was there in five minutes. He saw a crowd stacked at the doors of HMV, muggles and wizards alike. He decided to appear himself into the shop itself to avoid the questions and the people.
Once he was inside he went to the upper part of the building looking for the hostages the Death Eater had locked. He followed his instincts until he found the place, he saw the Death Eater and the Death Eater saw him, but he couldn't recognize him. So he spoke up and clearly 'I was told you wanted to see me' Harry said very self-confident, 'I did Potter' he spoke as if he was intimidated by Harry's presence. 'Let all these people go and then we will talk' Harry was not sure that it would be so easy but he got to try. 'And let all my leverage go with them? I don't think so Potter' his voice clear and full of hate 'You killed my wife, and you will pay for it' Harry had no idea of what he was talking about; for sure if his wife had been a Death Eater, he might have killed her without even noticing in the last battle.
'Ok I get it you are hurt, I killed your wife, maybe so...I don't know, I did what I had to do I am sure.' Harry did not know what to say. 'I will get just one hostage, the rest of them can go home and then we will talk' he turned around to have a look at all the hostages he had. And in the most unexpected way Harry met the girl in his dreams. She was a slender brunette with long curly hair, and the most beautiful woman he had ever seen for sure. She was even more beautiful in person. She carried at least six bags from different shops in her hand and for some reason she didn't look scared at all.
Katherine POV
What an inconvenient setback, this idiot was holding me while Harry Potter was staring right at me. This was going all wrong, I could easily snap this idiot's neck but then Harry would start asking questions and the last thing I want is him following my tracks. What a blast...my shopping morning ruined.
