Katherine Malfoy had checked out from St. Mungo's the day before once she was cleared of her head injury though she still needed to keep it bandaged in case she ran into something or someone. She had first gone to her office at the Ministry to do a speedy clean-up before heading down to Azkaban for visitation in her father's cell. Kingsley would escort her there since she didn't have proper authorization due to her little mishap at the Department of Mysteries. Now she had to go with an auror who had authorization, or wait six weeks until she was back from Romania (oh I forgot to mention she's lived in Romania with C. Weasley for three years since she graduated from Hogwarts, she only has an apartment in London for a few weeks since she's part of the Order of the Phoenix, plus some other places hidden by barriers; and an undercover auror for the Ministry of Magic.)

Katherine had become friends with many of the aurors at the ministry, but if someone asked whom she really hated at the ministry, you would guess Dolores Jane Umbridge. She had despised that woman since she first met her at an auror meeting when she tried to humiliate her in front of everyone. Katherine had worked on the same days as her father when she came to London, but she never spoke to him since every time she saw him was when she used her fake name she'd had since she first started school, Cecilia Maloney. Until she started school she hardly ever went out because she'd had some belief that it was too dangerous to go out since she was adopted around the same time she ran away; thanks to Dumbledore it had been taken cared of. Like she vanished into thin air without a sign of anything proving what happened to her.

"Are you ready Katherine?" Kingsley asked coming in the doorway just as Kathy was levitating the last box of junk onto the trash pile.

"Almost, let me grab my cloak and we'll leave." She said walking over to an elm coat rack pulling on her black hooded cloak and walking out with Kingsley. They left for the floo network and went straight to Azkaban without dementors attacking them if they took the right Floo there.

"Let's go, I want to get this over with as quickly as possible." Kathy spoke mounting her broom and Kingsley looked at her with a small smirk.

"You're not the only one my friend…and if we hurry we could make it back in time for you to say your farewells."

With that said they flew off and went over a few tall Muggle buildings and a large ocean that looked black from their height before coming over to a smoky island that held the large prison, since it was only a fifteen minute flight. As they set foot on the island three dementors were guarding the gate and Kingsley held up a roll of parchment and they let both of them pass. Once they were inside Katherine shivered slightly and moved closer to Kingsley while they passed several doors leading to other dungeons, or several rooms for who knows what.

Kingsley led her to a corridor that looked filthy with cobwebs, elbow grease, and nasty rodent carcasses cockroaches were feasting on. Katherine felt like vomiting before Kingsley opened a door to the warden's room and knocked on it twice before a man finally answered it. He was a muscular man about Kingsley's height, with an eye patch on his left eye, and his hair was a lot like Filch's but messier.

"Yeah wha d'you want?!" he growled at them and Katherine just held her head high glaring at the man.

"We're from the Ministry and we're here to see prisoner number four-hundred twenty-six Lucius Malfoy." Kingsley spoke in a calm tone. The man looked at him then looked at Katherine before showing an unfriendly smirk at her.

"Wha's she doin' here…come to keep em company fer a while?"

"I'm here to question Mr. Malfoy about information on You-Know-Who, so it's quite critical we speak with him." Katherine spoke sharply. The man then called another man to the room and told him to lead them to the sixteenth floor where Lucius was being kept with his fellow death eaters.

"Right this way ma'am…ave a nice stay ere." The muscle man spoke with a smirk and Katherine just ignored him while she followed Kingsley and the other man to the elevator to the sixteenth floor.

When they finally reached the floor the man went and led them to another corridor before he stopped and pulled out some keys before unlocking a room with the name 'Lucius Malfoy # 426'. He walked into the gloomy looking room and Katherine followed him in before she made the face again looking like she'd get sick. The room was disgusting, with only a small bed with dirty sheets, a sink, a toilet, a table and chair, and a window the size of a muggle bedroom window. The floor was filthy and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks, and the walls were covered with handprints and who knows what else. It wasn't a very big room, but it wasn't very small either; there was enough room to move around.

"I'll be out here if you need me Kat…." Kingsley spoke before walking back out with the man and took the keys for after they finished their discussion. Looking around the room she saw Lucius Malfoy huddled up in one of the corners on the bed with his knees at his chest and he looked horrible in those prison clothes, his hair was messy and tied back in a small ponytail, and his skin began to look filthy and pale. Katherine hated seeing her father like this, so broken up, so defeated, and so terribly lonely; unfortunately if this would keep him safe for a while then so be it. Grabbing the chair she pulled it in front of the bed only three feet away and sat down in it looking at her father. He hadn't moved an inch since she and the other two were in there, and it looked like he wouldn't move at all.

"Mr. Malfoy, I need to speak to you." She spoke softly and he still sat statue still.

"What do you want? I already told the other aurors I know nothing about the Dark Lord's next plan…" he spoke hoarsely but almost deadly.

"I figured as much, but that's not why I'm here…I came to ask questions as to why you joined the dark lord? If you won't tell me then I can't help protect your family…"

"Why would you want to protect them…it's not much like you aurors to try and help a death eaters family?"

"Because unlike other aurors I have some sympathy for few death eaters like you…and I have the utmost confidence in myself to protect your wife and son. You don't want to lose them do you?"

"What are you talking about?" this time he looked up and glared straight at Katherine. She smiled a little but then her face went straight again.

"You don't really think the Dark Lord's going to let you off easily with just imprisonment in Azkaban do you?"

"What're you saying woman …?!" he was near shouting this time, looks like she really struck a nerve.

"I just want to know why you joined, and if you answer my question I can probably guess what the Dark Lord's next plan is…"

"No you can't…no one could…get out!!" he shouted this time and turned around to face the wall.

"I'm not going anywhere until you give me some answers Malfoy…even if it means staying here all night with you and your attitude. You're starting to act as bad as Bellatrix when she first came here, and you really don't want to be like her do you?" Lucius looked back at Katherine and gritted his teeth.

"Get out…get out and leave me alone! I don't want to talk about any more of this…you'll never understand why I joined the Dark Lord."

"Oh I know why you joined Malfoy…I've known for a long time."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I've known you were a death eater for years Lucius…when I saw that mark on your arm, and when I saw Voldemort."

"You've seen me in his doing…? Is that why you're here, to get revenge for something the dark lord did to you? Pathetic…"

"You're in no position to talk Malfoy, since you were pathetic enough to get yourself captured and possibly put your family in danger due to your failure to get that prophecy. Plus I must say Draco's not as well as I expected, and Narcissa doesn't look to happy either with you in prison."

"You leave them out of this you despicable witch, get out of here and for the last time leave me alone!!" he shouted for the third time at her and Katherine just took a deep breath before singing a small song to calm her nerves.

"L'arcobaleno e la mia scia che navigo in cerca, die quella montagna, de luci all'alba Melodia, mi parteno indietro, ad un tempo passato colori immersi nella scia dell'arcobaleno, che gioca in cielo il vento mi sospinge via raggiungo le unde…dei sette mari gli uccelli che volano alti nel cielo d'Oriente, la rotta sicura quell'isola cela un tesoro…" as she finished singing the room seemed completely silent and Lucius Malfoy's eyes had widened from either shock or unbelievable remembrance.

"Why are you looking at me like that Malfoy?" she asked even if she knew what his answer would be.

"T-That song..."

"What about it?"

"I-I heard it a long time ago…but how do you…"

"I learned it when I was three, found it in an old book with beautiful stories."

"What book?"

"Mermaid Legends I think…why?"

"N-Nothing…it's just a beautiful song…"

"I would guess so…unfortunately I have to take my leave Mr. Malfoy. Good day to you..." she was about to turn and leave when her hand suddenly went across Lucius's cheek knocking him to the ground. He groaned in pain and looked up at her holding his reddening face.

"W-What…"

"That's a small taste of payback for all the torment you put me through Lucius. Mark my words when you get out I will make every last part of your life a miserable Hell. Just like you did to me fifteen years ago…" before he could answer she turned on her heal and walked out the door. She slammed and locked it giving off a huge sigh of relief.

"You alright Katherine?"

"Yes I'm fine…now let's hurry I don't want anyone thinking something's up."

"It's alright Kat, now you just have to go back to Romania and bring Charlie back for the school year just in case anything happens which I'm sure something will."

Kathy just nodded and before they knew it they were already apparating and flying over to the Weasley home to get the rest of Katherine's belongings so she could leave the next day. Once their feet touched the ground, they walked inside and it was only Molly Weasley, Fred, George, Arthur, Tonks, Lupin, and Mad-Eye Moody there to greet them.

"Kathy dear…welcome back!" Molly walked over to Katherine and pulled her into a hug before Tonks came up and did the same after tripping over a chair again.

"Hello Mrs. Weasley, everyone…glad to be back, but I'm afraid I can't stay long."

"Why not…it's been boring around here without you Kat." Fred spoke up after coming with a hug for Kathy too.

"I won't be gone for long…I just need to go get Charlie and bring him back here since the war's gone underway. Where's Remus at I wanted to speak with him…?"

Tonks looked at Molly and then Molly looked back to Katherine.

"He's not himself Kat…as you probably guessed Sirius's body vanished in the veil and disappeared into thin air. Remus took it about as bad as Harry, and he's locked himself in his room since. No one really knows what he's doing in there, but I suppose he needs time to calm down since Sirius and James were his best friends."

"Has he ever come out?"

"No, we bring him his meals and even Kreacher won't go in there since he's a…you-know-what…"

"Don't call him that! He's already in bad enough shape and doesn't need anyone insulting him like he's already had!" Tonks almost shouted and Kathy just sighed.

"It's okay Dora…just let him rest and I'll speak to him later. Maybe when I return with Charlie…I assure you that I shouldn't be more than a month or two before school starts back." They all just nodded and looked around from the sounds of footsteps coming downstairs. Looking up at the stairs they saw it was Remus and he looked like he hadn't been out in days, which he hadn't.

"Hello Katherine…" he whispered as he walked over to the group. Katherine smiled and gave him a small hug around his shoulders and he hugged her back. Sensing the jealousy on Dora's face, Kathy pulled away and rubbed his shoulder.

"Hello Remus…it's nice to see you again."

"You've really grown since the last any of us saw you. I can't tell if you look more like your mother or your father." Katherine's smile faded slightly but not much and she turned over to Molly.

"I really need to leave Mrs. Weasley, but I promise I shouldn't be gone too long."

"I understand dear…you have your things ready I suppose?"

"Yes ma'am, everything's packed and the portkey should be ready in an hour. It was really nice to see you all again. You're pretty much the only family I've ever come to love much like Dora's….you're all the best." With that said Kathy hugged everyone and left for the room that contained the Black Family Tree, gazing upon the faces of her aunts, her mother, and her brother Draco Malfoy. She took her hand and stroked the picture of him softly with her fingers.

"Oh Draco…how can you live like a spoiled brat with all these people dying like this at the hands of our father? I thought you would be different from them…but as it turns out…you're just like rest of those monsters."

Like it, yes, no? Hope so since my stories might be held off for a while now that I have a job and school to worry about. Let me know of any ideas you may have to tick off Bellatrix if she sees Charlie and Kathy together, and maybe even Lucius Malfoy. Please let me know and leave a very good review okay?"
