Hey sorry again just been busy with the holidays coming and final exams too. So I have an idea on how Malfoy's finally going to meet his sister face to face maybe at the end of this chapter or earlier. All I can say is she sneaks in, hides in the mansion, and plays tricks on the death eaters during their meetings. Again Katherine's going to leave clues to who she is later, and the main key is……………………..ok I'll just let you guess later.

Enjoy and leave a good review!!!

Previous:

"Dora, you couldn't stop me when I became an Auror, you couldn't stop me from seeing Draco every year on his birthday, you couldn't stop me from seeing Lucius in Azkaban, and you can't stop me from protecting the only sibling I have left!"

"But Katherine think about Charlie…what's he gonna do if something happens to you?! What will any of us do without you?!" Katherine hugged Dora around the shoulders tightly, rubbing small circles on her back.

"I appreciate everything you've done for me Dora, you, Sirius, Aunt Andy, Uncle Ted, Remus, the Weasleys, all of you…you've spent most of your lives protecting me from the people that wanted to destroy me, but right now I have someone who needs me to protect him even if he doesn't realize it yet. I have to go back, I don't care what it takes but I'm not going to let my brother suffer under a man that wants to destroy all we've worked for." Dora returned the hug, soon after Katherine's little speech everyone joined in on the hug, crushing Katherine in the middle.

"Uh guys….crushing the mythical one here…." Everyone pulled away laughing and Katherine looked at Harry.

"As for you Mr. Harry James Potter, I will say that I won't stop you from making your own decisions about this war, but…if I find out that you've been captured by Death Eaters and can't find your own way out then you can just sit there and wait for death to greet you with open arms." She got in Harry's face with a fierce glare making him back away onto the couch. She laughed again and walked into the kitchen with Molly and Ginny to discuss future plans for her and Charlie's wedding despite the rush they were in for Fleur and Bill's wedding.

Katherine had been staying at the Burrow for two months already. She had planned on leaving right after explaining her identity but the times flew by fast as she decided to stay for the wedding preparations. She wanted to stay for the ceremony, but instinct told her not to since Harry had already gone back to his relatives' home and wouldn't return until the Order went for him.

"Fleur please sit still I can't get the stitch in." Molly and Katherine were altering Fleur's wedding gown since it belonged to her mother, whom was slightly taller than Fleur. Even with the silver high heels on it was still too long.

"Sorry Mother Weasley…"

"I've told you a hundred times please call me Molly."

"Oh let her call you Mother Weasley, I mean you are more of a mother than any of us here." Katherine giggled nearly sticking her thumb.

"Girls have you seen Bill's vest, he says he left it on the bed but it's disappeared?" Arthur came down looking everywhere frantically.

"It's being pressed and cleaned Arthur, and relax the wedding's not for two weeks."

"I know but it's better to be prepared ahead of time." All three girls giggled again going back to the sewing. It had been like this for days now, everyone rushing to get things done without causing anymore chaos with the death eaters running around.

"And……..finished. Well turn around Fleur let us see you." Fleur twirled in her gown daintily and Molly awed. Katherine gathered the needles and thread placing them in the sewing box under the couch. She walked into the kitchen and fed Moesha before looking around for anyone else.

"You look lovely Fleur…I can see Bill now just fainting at the sight of you."

"Or her swooning at the sight of Bill…" Ron came in the kitchen laughing looking for a snack.

"Ronald please don't eat too much this time, you'll spoil your dinner." Molly fussed taking the sewing kit into the kitchen.

"No I won't…"

"Don't talk back to your mother Ron…it's rude."

"Ok ok yeesh you sound like a mom already." Katherine blushed and looked away smiling.

"Which reminds me Ce—Katherine, have you ever thought of being a mother?"

"Ronald that's rude!! You never ask a young woman such a thing."

"No it's fine Molly; he's got to learn sooner or later. Yes Ron I have thought of being a mother, and who knows? I would love to have a big family someday…"

"Just what we need, more Malfoys wrecking chaos around here.." Katherine smacked Ron on the head and he fell on his back. Molly glared at Ron but looked at Katherine sternly.

"Kathy dear why don't you check the gardens for me, I think the plants need more water." Katherine nodded and walked outside with the pale. She took water from the well and started sprinkling it over the flower and vegetable gardens. She whistled quietly with the birds as they drank from the birdbath, giving her a good feeling about the day.

"Hey Ka—Cessy, mind helping me with the chicken pens please?" Ginny called out and Kat nodded. They cleaned the pens, refilled the food bins, collected eggs, and put on fresh straw for the nests. Ginny hadn't spoken much with Kat since she found out the truth, but she wasn't like Harry, who just ignored Kat every time he saw her before he left. Kat didn't mind it though; she knew no one owed her an explanation on the awkwardness of the situation.

"I'm going to leave the food in the barn; lunch might be ready soon…" Kat just nodded. Ginny walked off with the chicken feed leaving Katherine alone. Kat finished watering the garden then decided to take a walk down the small road to the pond. She had her wand with her, though she didn't really need it. After Bellatrix's little stunts more than half the plants were scorched everywhere. Katherine let her disguise down for the time since she began to get irritated with her dark hair & eyes.

"Bellatrix…" she took a deep breath, taking in the scent of burnt wood and misty water. She remembered how cold the witch was, even before Azkaban she was always……tricky.

'How quaint…the woman still has some sanity after all this.' Kat giggled at the memory of when she saw Bellatrix's face the day she was arrested. A light breeze blew through the field, blowing Kat's golden blonde hair everywhere around her face.

"Lovely…" a deep voice whispered through the wind making Katherine's head snap around. She sensed a powerful magic nearby, probably Greyback or Rodolphus.

"Who's out there?" she called out. There was a crackling sound, and a hooded figure stepped out from the trees with two others laughing and smiling under the hoods.

"What do you want? Trespassers aren't allowed out here…" they laughed again, pulling off their hoods. Katherine looked closer and laughed herself at the men.

"How lovely, Rodolphus Lestrange, Fenrir Greyback, and Augustus Rookwood…a pleasure to see you again boys. What can I do for you?" Greyback smirked walking towards her. Katherine sent out a telepathic message to Molly to put the barrier up fast before more death eaters showed up.

"See us again…I don't believe we've met pretty lady?" he took a strand of her hair and played with it.

"Oh we have, many times before…" Katherine stopped realizing she wasn't in disguise. 'Dammit…' "Now what do you want? The Dark Lord wants something?"

"Indeed he does dear lady…he wants the Potter boy."

"I know that much…anything else?"

"Well no, but he's looking for more followers and a young, fresh girl like yourself could make a perfect addition to our teams, are you interested?" he stroked her hair again this time getting a good slap.

"No thank you…now leave." The three just laughed and surrounded Katherine. One of them grabbed her arm and pulled her to their body. She smacked Rodolphus across the face and kicked him in the stomach. He toppled over and started wheezing; Augustus snagged her skirt and nearly ripped it only to get a good kick in the groin. Fenrir growled and lunged at her, but Katherine was faster and as she dodged him he hit the nearby oak tree face first. All three of them laid on the ground groaning in pain making Katherine smirk and deliver a swift heel kick to each of their faces and chests, breaking their noses and nearly crushing their ribcages.

"Y-You….bitch………" Greyback growled again making Katherine laugh loudly.

"That oughtta teach you three not to misjudge a woman, especially a gifted one. Later…oh and please give the Dark Lord my regards. Ta ta…" she strutted through the trees leaving the wounded killers in the dirt. The minute she was out of sight she apparated back to the Burrow and barged through the front door. Molly nearly screamed at the sight but calmed down when she saw Kat's face.

"Cessy dear what happened to you? Are there more out there?"

"No, I didn't sense anyone but the three that approached me."

"Who were they?"

"Lestrange, Rookwood, and Greyback but don't worry, I took good care of them."

"I'm sure you did."

"No time to talk, you lot need to get out of here and stay back at the old hideout, or Aunt Muriel's there's no telling how many more will come. Not to mention we need a safe place to bring Harry to and the wedding."

"Yes we have a place dear, will you be coming?"

"I'm afraid not…I have to go back tonight, otherwise word will get out about a strange woman attacking and defeating three death eaters at once." Molly gasped and Katherine just looked away.

"You weren't in disguise?! Are you mental?! You could expose yourself and they'll be looking for you!!!"

"I know Molly, but we don't have time to argue…get the others and go!! I'll seal the place once you've left."

"But…"

"No buts now move!!" Molly and the others scrambled through the house gathering the supplies packed and small trifles for emergencies. They grabbed each other's hands and before they were ready they all gave hugs and kisses to Katherine who disguised up first and they apparated. Katherine made sure everything was in place and immediately put a charm on the place to make sure any newcomers other than death eaters were welcome to whatever was left, that wouldn't stick to its spot. Suddenly she felt something drawing nearby and snatched up her bag.

'Time to go!' She apparated herself to the forest outside Hogwarts. The place was practically in shambles since Bellatrix and her lackeys stormed the place last year. She wouldn't dare go in since it was full of evil magic, but she decided to drop by Hagrid's to see how he'd been since his home burned down.

The place was repaired but didn't look so much the same as before. She felt around for him but got nothing.

'Must be in the castle…' rather than sneak inside Kat moved further into the forest and looked around for any signs of magic. She apparated away and found herself in the ruins of what used to be Diagon Alley. More than half the shops were barred and closed; others were just ruined with little left of anything that stood in the shops and windows. No one was around, but there were faint traces of magic surrounding the place.

"Hello?" no answer. Kat moved a few steps up in between the streets before some hooded figures surrounded her. She didn't move an inch as they closed in around her.

"Well what have we here?" Katherine flinched at the voice, recognizing the squeaky tone.

"Hello Bellatrix…been a long time." The one in front took off her hood and grinned from ear to ear at Katherine.

"You're that little Maloney girl…the one that showed up at the Department of Mysteries. How's your head dear?"

"Better…"

"Your appearance looks a bit off…then again only a Tonks would have the looks of a beggar in these parts, or any part for that matter." The others started laughing and Katherine just smirked.

"Well, I had a run in with some trolls back in the forest. What's your excuse?" Bellatrix stared and Katherine giggled. "A little baggy on the eyes there, plus a little pale on the skin, your hair's all stringy, and you've seemed to have gained weight. Seriously darling cut back on the cauldron cakes and chocolate frogs I can see your tummy showing through your dress." The others laughed loudly but Bellatrix's eyes started flaring and her wand pointed at Katherine's neck.

"What a mouth you have…but what do you expect from an orphan; especially a bride-to-be?" Katherine's eyes widened slightly but calmed.

"What do you mean?" they all just laughed.

"Rumor has it you're engaged dear Cecilia. Who's the lucky lad?" Bellatrix's smirk grew wider.

"I'm still single thank you. Now what do you want?" she pushed the wand from her neck and glared at the death eaters.

"We've been rounding up others for fun…and speaking of fun it looks like you would be a great addition to the dark lord's minions. If you're not then we'll have no choice but to take you in."

"Please….I wouldn't join that albino bastard if I was on the floor dying. Hell I wouldn't join him even if HE asked me to." Katherine flipped her hair in Bellatrix's face and turned away. She jumped out of the circle and turned at them.

"I'll see you losers later." She laughed and took off in a high speed run and vanished in the trees. The last thing she saw was them chasing her then they vanished.

'Hmph…suckers.' She brushed off and walked back towards her old hideout and slunk in. She dove in under the bed and pulled out a locked silver case as big as an encyclopedia but as heavy as a 50 pound dumbbell. She looked at it in her lap and smiled, this box brought back so many memories, a few unhappy ones but mostly happy. She pulled out a small key from under the bed's footboard and unlocked the case; inside laid a long silver chain with a pendent engraved with the black family crest on the front surrounded with small diamonds and emeralds. She carefully picked up the velvet cushion it laid upon and placed it next to her.

'Beautiful…never thought I'd have to take it out again.' The necklace was worth a fortune of 5000 galleons if not more. It belonged to Sirius's father whom had almost squandered it away with the rest of the Black fortune, until one day it mysteriously disappeared. Only the eldest male in the Black family would inherit it, meaning Draco was next in line.

Katherine picked up the necklace carefully and hid it in her blouse. The box contained two very important pieces, the one under the necklace being Katherine's most prized possession. She stroked the soft blue velvet blanket covering it, and removed it to gaze upon her treasure. It was a small silver dagger, handmade and very valuable, more than the necklace. The Malfoy family crest was engraved on the front of the handle, with a snake wrapped around the hilt.

A tear fell from Katherine's eye as she held it in her hands. The dagger was given to her on her 11th birthday, just before she attended Hogwarts; July 19, 1975, her birthday. She took out the snake skin case and tied the dagger to her leg under her skirt. She shrunk the case and put it in her magic bag, then charmed the place before apparating.

Meanwhile at Malfoy Manor:

Greyback, Rookwood, and Rodolphus Lestrange waddled through the big gates leading back to their headquarters; once they reached the front door they all collapsed on the floor in a pile. The loud thud brought clattering footsteps coming their way, and in front of them were the Malfoys and Bellatrix.

"What the hell happened to you three?!" Bellatrix screeched helping Rodolphus stand up.

"S-Shut up…ah!! Watch where you're stepping Rookwood!" Greyback growled when Rookwood stepped on his back trying to stand.

"Oh be quiet…we had a run in…with a woman…..in the forest near the Weasley home."

"A woman? A woman did this to you?" Bellatrix bent over laughing, getting a snarl from her husband.

"It's not funny Trixie…what do you have?" Narcissa took Rodolphus's arm and set him down on a nearby chair.

"Broken noses and ribs, several bruises, and one big footprint on our backs; I think she wore stilettos."

"More like boots…judging by the print." Rodolphus turned around showing a big size 8 purple bruise right in the middle of his waist just below the shoulder blades. Bellatrix kept laughing until she got a glare from Lucius.

"Is it really that funny Bella? Even funnier than when you got burned by that Maloney-Tonks brat in Diagon Alley?" Bellatrix glared more fiercely and growled.

"It was an accident…she slipped away."

"Accident or not Bella I think you're losing your touch…should the Dark Lord find out it could be trouble."

"Shut up Lucius! She won't get away next time."

"If there is a next time…"

"Shut up!! And go clean yourselves up we have that meeting tonight with the Dark Lord. Can't present yourselves looking like beggars now can you?" Bellatrix stormed off into another corridor and into the main dining hall. Just as she passed through she felt a light breeze fill the halls, almost too light.

Katherine snuck in through all cracks and crannies in the mansion, mainly the ones leading back to the kitchen. The place wasn't too messy, the house elves were tending to every smudge and spot while the other death eaters practically demolished the place. Katherine peered through a small mouse hole and recognized some of the house elves, including Mipsy who seemed the same as the last time Katherine had been in the manor.

'Poor things, nothing's changed.' She crawled up the nails in the wall and scurried her way into the east wing of the house, back to the main dining hall where the death eaters were gathering. She peered through the small tunnel in the side of the fireplace, near the small vent where the heat flew through.

'Fools…' she thought looking at all the drowned out faces, as if none of them had slept in weeks. She looked at saw Draco, looking a nervous wreck. His face didn't show any emotion but his eyes were crazy, darting back and forth several times as if he had a stalker. The glimpse of gold around his neck was buried within his clothes no doubt the necklace Katherine enchanted.

"Draco please be still…you're shaking the table." Narcissa spoke to Draco touching his hand lightly and he seemed to calm down.

'He's as bad as a rattlesnake.' Other death eaters started gathering around, the only ones missing were Yaxley and Snape. The Dark Lord was seated at the head of the table with his snake curled up on the chair. Katherine carefully snuck a little higher to get a good look at the whole table, perching herself upon the small spot inside the Malfoy family portrait. Soon the missing two came through the portrait of the manor with white peacocks prancing around the lawn. They took their seats and the meeting began.

'This is gonna be boring, but might as well make the most of it.' She scurried down through the wall and into the northern part of the manor, the spot where hardly anyone would go and could anyone imagine why? Katherine shifted into a beetle and snuck under an old door with the knob all covered in cobwebs and dust, as if it hadn't opened in years, same with the old corridor. Katherine found herself back in the last place she'd ever thought of visiting, her old bedroom, as if no one had entered it since she'd left.

The bed was covered in dust from head to footboard, the window was coated with dust and cobwebs, and the floorboards were squeakier than usual.

'Still the same as ever…can't believe it's been almost seventeen years.' She carefully walked around the place and checked under the worn-out mattress finding her old mirror wrapped in a white sheet. She left it behind because there was another mirror in the mansion and the two had a strong connection that could've blown her secret. As she held it in her hands she began to remember all the times she would use the mirror to spy on her parents and watch over Draco during the two weeks after he was born.

"Show me the death eaters." She spoke aloud and the mirror gleamed slightly in the low lit room and the main hall reflected inside. 'Wait why am I even doing this? Might as well have some fun.' Placing the mirror on the bed Katherine spread out both arms and stood rock still in the middle of the small room. She closed her eyes, and calmly stood still when the room started shaking, then the corridor started shaking, soon the whole mansion was shaking violently. Katherine's eyes went blank like a corpse's eyes as she concentrated on wrecking the place while listening to the death eaters.

"What's happening?!!!" Rookwood shouted.

"It's an earthquake!!!!! Quick under the table!" all but Voldemort scrambled under the table for safety as the shaking got worse.

"Weaklings…" he mumbled. "Can't you see it's not a real earthquake?! Look outside…" Bellatrix got up from her spot and looked out the cracked window.

"My Lord you're right!! It's only the mansion shaking but the outsides completely still!" the others got up and checked the window themselves.

'Shit!!' Katherine's power stopped and she cloaked the corridor to keep out the bastards.

"Hey it stopped!"

"There's an intruder in the house! Spread out and search the place!" Lucius shouted and soon there were footsteps thundering everywhere.

Katherine just took a seat on the small rigid old bed, barely big enough to fit a full grown woman on top. It was so old it could've fallen apart if she wasn't so light.

"Check the west part of the mansion!" Rodolphus and Shunpike were storming the halls searching every room in sight with the others.

"Who's checking the south wing?"

"You idiot no one's allowed up there remember?!"

'Ok so I'm safe for now.'

"But Bellatrix is headed that way now!"

'Dammit!' Katherine shrunk herself to a white rat and scurried inside the mattress all snuggled up in the soft material. Suddenly the stomping got louder, and just before they reached the door Katherine gasped.

"Oh dammit I forgot to hide the mirror!" then the door slammed open and two pairs of black heels were directly in the doorway.

Hey viewers sorry about the wait but it's been pretty hectic around here and I'm starting a new story in Twilight. It should be up soon so be sure to let me know if you like it and after you read it tell me if you want me to add anything.

Leave a good review please and thanks!!
