Here we go:

Previously on The GWL: "Now if any of you would be so kind as to answer my earlier stated question: WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON?!" Shouted Sirius as James extended an arm to help Lily back up.

"Where is the trolley woman?" I asked, almost to myself.

"The what? Who? Why would that matter?!" A still glaring James demanded.

"The woman who pushes the..." I was cut off as Lily's hair was roughly pulled back and a blade pressed to her throat.

"The Dark Lord will be most pleased."


My body tensed as the blindfold was slipped over my eyes.

I could hear everyone else struggling as the same happened to them.

"Struggling will end in the mudblood dying" Hissed one of their captors.

"Bell-Bellatrix?!" Sirius stuttered.

'Bellatrix Black' My eyes widened under the blindfold now tied tightly around my face.

"How are you, dear cousin? It's wonderful see you again, not that you can see me of course," This was followed by what must've been one of the most sinister laughs I had ever heard- it was a cackle full of pure machiavellian joy.

"What do you want, Black?" Snarled James somewhere to my left.

"Shut your mouth, you filthy blood traitor," Scoffed someone familiar...a sharp voice that sounded as if it's words were laced with poison...

"Severus!?" Shouted Lily at the same time as Sirius and Remus shouted in anger.

'Where is everyone?' I thought. 'All the children...the ones in the compartment. Where..'

"Where are we?" My voice came out clearer than she thought it would, so clear one might almost say it sounded brave.

"Were on the train, idiot!" Snarled a smooth, condescending voice from behind me. The one who tied my blindfold, I now recognized him as Lucius Malfoy.

Someone pushed me hard to the ground, and I yelped as the world momentarily fell.

"I'm sorry Kath, I'm so sorry." Cried...'No!' my mind screamed as it registers the voice. The one who had just been standing next to me talking about her summer, the voice of one of the only people I could trust...

Remus responds before her brain can figure out how to string together a sentence.

"Hannah? What did you do?" He whispered.

"They didn't give me a choice! It was join them...or die!" Her voice was full of emotion yet none can be singled out.

"Oh shut up!" Bellatrix said. "We have one more offer. Katherine, will you join us? Or die with the rest of them?"

"I...I'd rather die with them than rot with you!" I slammed my body backwards, knocking Malfoy off of his feet in the process.

Pulling my blindfold off, I aimed my wand at Bellatrix, but the older witch was quicker. "Tut tut darling. Wrong choice... Crucio!"

The pain wasn't instant. I had a brief moment to take in her surroundings. A field. 'But how?' Before I could properly assess what was happening, the pain started. A burning feeling sliding over my body like a blanket of fire, igniting all of my nerves like dynamite.

"KATHERINE" Shouted a voice somewhere in the distance but it didn't matter- the pain was too great to care about anything else than fighting to stay alive.

Something hit my chest...soft, like a book or a small box.

"Kath, wake up!" Delphi scowled as I opened my eyes.

I was on the train. Not a field. I was with Delphi and Justice, not them.

"She asked if you wanted anything" Justice rolled her eyes, pointing towards the trolley lady.

"Oh yeah sorry. I'll take a-"

"Excuse me Ma'am? Sorry my friend needs another chocolate frog." Called a voice walking over, I could see her flaming red hair stop right outside our door.

"Oh hullo Katherine."

The coldness in her eyes killed me.

Still drowsy from the nap, a half remembered dream floating in the back of my mind, I nodded in the woman's direction

"I'll a box of beans please."

"Lily, what's taking so long?" James whined with Remus, Hannah and Sirius in tow.

'Where's Peter?' She wondered.

"Nothing. These girls were just ordering first." She said dismissively. 'These girls'...

"Oh." His eyes flickered to mine before looking to Sirius who appeared to be having a staring contest with the wall behind me.

I payed the trolley lady before Justice slammed the door in their faces with a scowl.

"The mudblood makes me sick."

Delphi noded and I couldn't help but try and remember my dream.
