Katy and Liam took their hostage back to their base camp. They would have taken her straight to Malfoy Manor, but it was late at night, and even though the Malfoy's did have sleeping habits not dissimilar to vampires, it was too late for Katy and Liam to still be awake. Their base camp wasn't much. It was a simple tent (from the outside), with a few rooms and very basic items. They didn't need much while they were travelling.

'Alright, Katy. One of us keeps watch so the other one can sleep, yeah?' Liam asked her.

'Sure.' She nodded.

'I'm sleeping first,' he said quickly, then grinned at her and walked off into the bedroom. Katy sighed, but couldn't help but smile. She didn't mind staying up later, she knew she'd sleep better knowing that Liam was paying full attention to the job. He'd only have fallen asleep if Katy had slept first. She turned to Tonks, who was staring ahead of her, tied up with enchanted rope, her wand safely out of reach on the table at the other side of the tent. Katy picked up her own wand and held it up towards Tonks. Her eyes widened, and she looked scared out of her wits. Katy smiled, and gently waved her wand. The gag around Tonks' mouth loosened and fell to the floor. Tonks stared at her, confused.

'Why did you do that?' She asked her, confidence coating her voice.

'Thought I might talk to you. Make some light conversation.' Katy shrugged.

'Light conversation?' Tonks spat. 'You kidnapped me!'

Katy glanced back at her. 'It's my job.' She said through gritted teeth.

'Oh yeah, and you must be so proud of what you do.'

'You know, I'm starting to regret taking that gag off you.'

Tonks laughed. 'I'll bet you are.'

'Look, I'm not even done with school, you can't blame me for making a living.' Katy told her.

'Yeah, kidnapping people so they can be tortured and killed. Lovely way to earn good, clean money. Well done,' Tonks paused and stared at Katy. 'Kidnapping a pregnant woman, at that.'

Katy paused and stared back at her. 'Well I didn't know that. Else I would have… erm… told Liam not to be so harsh with you.'

'Gee, thanks. So don't try and spare me or my baby from being killed by Lestrange.' Tonks said quietly.

'What do you want me to do? Set you free now? And then be killed myself? I can't do that, I have a family too, you know.' Katy tried to explain, but she couldn't escape the guilt that had suddenly consumed her. She'd kidnapped a pregnant woman, who knows whether her baby had been harmed in process! She could easily have been a murderer!

'Ha, feeling guilty?' Tonks asked patronizingly.

Katy turned to her. 'Look, if you're at least nice to me, I'll try and find a way to get you out of here! But if you're not going to appreciate it, I won't bother.'

Tonks was silent for a moment. 'If you say so. I'll trust you, it's not as if I've got a better way out.'

'Alright. I can't promise anything, except that I'll try.' Katy told her. Tonks nodded slowly.

'Thank you.' She said finally. Katy didn't reply.

Liam pulled back the curtains to the bedroom.

'Alright,' he yawned. 'Go get some sleep… hey, why's her gag off?'

'No point try to appeal to this one's good nature, eh?' Tonks muttered to Katy.

'None whatsoever.' Katy replied with a smile. Tonks smiled back.

Katy couldn't sleep when she finally got to bed. She felt so guilty! The least she could do now was to find a way for Tonks to escape. She couldn't think of anything. It seemed impossible. She couldn't let her go now, Liam would know she'd done it, and she could get him killed for her troubles, too. And she couldn't just let her into the dungeon at the Malfoy Manor, there'd be no point, you can't apparate in and out of there! She turned over in the bed, maybe to try and give herself a new angle on it all.

There was a snap somewhere in the room. Katy shot upright, and stared wide-eyed around the darkened tent room. A saucer-like pair of eyes glared back at her. She resisted the urge to scream, there was something about those eyes that seemed friendly.

'Who are you?' She hissed, not wanting to alert Liam that something was wrong.

'Dobby has come here to rescue miss Tonks!' The voice was squeaky, and could only belong to one type of animal.

'What's a house elf doing trying to rescue someone from our tent in the middle of nowhere?' Katy asked, trying to keep her tone calm. What on Earth was going on?

'Harry Potter sent Dobby to rescue his friend! And Dobby will do just that!' The elf went to pull back the curtains to the rest of the tent. Katy leapt out of bed and grabbed him. He started squirming and kicking.

'Shh!' Katy told him, placing him firmly back on the floor. 'You want to rescue Tonks, yes?' The elf nodded. 'Right. Then we're both after the same thing, alright?'

'Katy wants to set Tonks free, as well?' Dobby confirmed.

'Yes. Now listen to me, you used to work for the Malfoy family, correct?'

'Dobby did, Katy. For many years, but they were harsh and cruel and-'

'Good, yeah, okay. Now, is there anything about that house that you can tell me? I can't let Tonks go now, because both me and Liam could be killed for it. So, we have to get her as far as the Manor and let Bellatrix see her before we let her go, that way we can prove we did our job. Is there a way out of the dungeon? A secret door or something?'

Dobby paused and glanced around in thought. 'Tonks could always apparate out of there…'

Katy shook her head. 'You can't apparate from the dungeons there. It's protected.' Katy explained.

Dobby stared back at her in confusion. 'But Dobby has been able to apparate to and from there before. Many times.'

Katy's eyes widened. 'Really?'

'Of course.'

'And you could take people with you if you apparate away from the dungeons?'

'Dobby will try, miss Katy.'

'Excellent! Dobby that's what we'll do then, alright? Me and Liam will take her back to the Manor, and persuade Bella to keep her in the dungeons. Then you apparate inside there and take Tonks back! It's brilliant! Dobby, you're amazing.' Katy grinned at him.

'Well… Dobby is not amazing, miss Katy, Dobby is just quite good.' He smiled.

'Sure. You'd better go now, Liam'll come in any minute. Stick to the plan, okay?'

'Yes, miss Katy! Bye, miss Katy!' There was another snap as he apparated again. Katy sighed and smiled to herself. She'd done it, and Tonks could be spared, as long as she could convince Bella to keep her in the dungeons… it shouldn't be that difficult.
