She decided to head for Carnaby Street, it was beautiful that time of the year. Soon she started to feel she was being followed. She walked faster trying not to look scared. She took out her phone and called Harry.

'Babe?'

'Yes? Is everything ok?'

'No, I think someone is following me.'

'Where are you?'

'Carnaby Street'

'I´ll be right there.'

She kept walking, trying not to stop. She knew she was being watched and followed but she could not see who was doing it. She got into "The Body Shop" hopefully they would not attack her in a shop full of people. She was wrong. Two bulky men entered the room, they were dressed in black wearing hoods and masks. She remembered then, Death Eaters. Of all people who would love to see her dead, it was his boyfriend's enemies who would attack her. What the heck was going on? She thought she was safer around Harry, turns out it would get her in trouble just as much as being herself. What was the point then? They started breaking things with spells she had never heard or seen before. The girl in the counter screamed and they killed her just like that.

'We are looking for Katherine Pierce. We know you are here. Turn yourself in or everybody will die.'

Little did they know she had just called Harry and he would appear any minute now. She stood up and showed herself. They pointed at her with their wands.

'Are you the woman who is dating Potter?'

'Not really.'

They looked shocked.

'I mean, I am just dating him to protect myself, I do not love him at all. He is just a bargain. I would trade him for you in a heartbeat.'

'So you are not his girlfriend?'

'Oh no, he thinks I am.'

'So he loves you?'

'Apparently.'

'He would do anything to save you.'

'I know where you are getting there. Look let's make a deal, I promise to help you if you give me your protection. Interested yet?'

'What kind of protection?'

'Just allow me to live around you; you look like the kind of people nobody messes with.'

She said approaching the guy who seemed to be the leader. She was working her magic and they did not seem to notice.

'Ok, but we want you to trick Harry into coming here to save you.'

'He is on his way.'

Right then he entered the shop. The Death Eater was still pointing his wand at her.

'Put that wand down Dolohov'

The guy looked at Harry and laughed. He used the cruciatus curse on her. Katherine fell to the ground screaming in pain. Harry threw himself towards the Death Eater. They struggled. Another one pointed at Katherine again.

'If you want her to live, you will have to come with us.'

Harry seemed to value the situation.

'Avada….'

'Fine, fine…I'll go with you.'

The Death Eaters took both of them and disappeared from the scene. Once they got to their lair they gave Harry a potion so he would be calm like a kitten and they hang him from the ceiling with a few chains. Katherine was free as she had fulfilled her side of the bargain. She had not expected that cruciatus curse, and was really pissed.

Harry managed to wake up a few hours later. Dolohov had everything ready to torture him for all their families. Once he opened his eyes he realized he could not see. They had taken his glasses to make him feel even weaker. Dolohov entered the room where he hanged.

'Where is she? Where is Katherine?'

'Wow so it is true…you love her.'

He did not answer. Dolohov took a few artifacts and started driving them through Harry's chest. He screamed, although he had told himself not to. It was really painful. Katherine who was in the room next to his, heard him scream. Deep in her heart she felt really guilty, she felt his pain. The screams continued for hours. Sometimes there would be a few minute pauses due to Harry passing out. But they woke him up every time with a bucket of icy water. They were torturing him for the sake of seeing him in pain. They wanted to kill him as painfully as possible.

After four hours of intense torture Dolohov entered Katherine's room.

'He wants to see you'

Katherine looked at him.

'Tell him I cannot'

She did not want to see him in that state. He was there because of her. Every time she heard him scream she felt pain in her heart. He was dying, his screams sounded fainter and fainter every minute that went by.

'It is his dying wish, I will grant him that. If only he knew the woman he calls love sold him to the highest bidder.'

He pushed her out of her room and into Harry's. When she saw him, she felt like crying. He was bleeding all over his body. His face was red and purple from the punches. His lips did not look like lips anymore and she could barely see his beautiful green eyes. She approached him and took her jacket off, he was so cold. She wrapped her jacket around his body trying to make him warm but he moaned in pain from her touch.

'Are you ok?'

He asked her as sweet as he had always been with her. But his voice was broken. This time a tear fell down her cheek. She could not bear to see him like that. What was happening to her?

'I am fine, thanks to you. We have to get you out of here.'

He nodded slowly. She was determined to save him, she could not stand seeing him suffer like that. She started to pull from the chains in the ceiling and managed to free him. But the noise alarmed Dolohov who entered the room hysterical.

'Stop what you are doing bitch. We had a deal!'

Harry looked at her. He did not understand what the Death Eater had said. Dolohov who saw Harry's puzzled face through the blood in his face said.

'Oh, so you don't know?'

'You are here thanks to her. She sold you. She never loved you. She just wanted protection.'

The pain in Harry's face was no longer physical.

'Please tell me he is lying.'

He begged Katherine for the truth. Katherine's face was as white as a ghost's.

'I am sorry…I did not mean to…'

Harry looked defeated. He loved that woman with all his heart. He was going to take a step forward in the relationship. She betrayed him and now he was going to die for nothing. Katherine had tears in her eyes but he was not about to buy that trick. With the tiny bit of strength he had left he took Dolohov's moment of enjoyment to steal his wand and disappear the building where he was captive leaving Katherine behind. Heartbroken and feeling the pain hit his whole body, he fainted right in front of San Mungo's Hospital door.
