After stopping by Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, the group split up, Sirius took Harry, Ron, and Hermione to get some new robes while the others went to get books. They got into Madame Malkin's and found Draco there along with Kaeli and Dean Monson. Dean greeted them with a smile. "Hello, it is good to see you." He said sitting on a chair while Narcissa was perusing the racks. All the woman did was nod to Sirius not daring to say a word until she knew what he was going to do.
"Narcissa," Sirius said with a slight nod, very tight.
"Sirius," she came over and offering her hand. He took it as politely as he could. She could see the revulsion on his face and she knew that he knew where his daughter was. She turned from him back to the racks as Kaeli was helped down from the platform after the assistant had finished with her.
Sirius went over. "I'll need these taken out," he said about Erin's robes that he had. "Just use the basic pattern, needs to be let out around the top a couple or inches, the arms were getting too tight and the shoulders also. So an inch or two should do it. The waist was fine, but the hips needed an extra inch or two also and the wrists and ankles an inch or two longer."
A quill was writing everything down and attaching it to the set of school robes that he had. "We'll get them done," the woman said kindly knowing that he might never see his daughter again.
"Hermione, you go first," Harry said taking a seat beside Dean.
The two fell into a bit of a conversation. Draco said nothing. Kaeli was polite, but she seemed tired. Draco was watching her like a hawk. He wasn't making snide remarks or anything. He just seemed very concerned about Kaeli. It wasn't a look they were used to seeing on the blonde boy's face. When he was done he hopped down and went over to Kaeli immediately. "Just one more question, what color did you want those robes in, dear?" the assistant asked Kaeli.
"Gold," Draco answered her not taking his eyes off Kaeli. She just smiled a little before he helped her up. The girl looked a little feverish and then she was gone. "MOTHER!" Draco yelled catching her before she fell to the ground.
Narcissa was over in moments and Dean was right there in shock, "Kaeli, dear?" She felt her forehead and cheeks. "Could you get her a glass of water, please?" She asked the assistant.
The assistant ran to get some while Madame Malkin hovered. "Should I get a mediwizard?" They're were mediwizards on hand just in case.
"I'm not sure…" Narcissa wasn't sure what to do. "Kaeli? Kaeli, dear?"
Dean started talking softly in his native tongue a hand to her forehead. Her eyes opened a little glazedly and she looked up at them murmuring something the others couldn't hear. Dean answered her just as softly. "All right," Sirius said. "Give her a little room so she can breathe." They let him pick her up and set her on a chair as the assistant came back with some water. Kaeli slowly sipped it and then nibbled on the chocolate that Harry produced. "That will fix you up, can't imagine things are good right now for anyone," Sirius said kindly. "Everyone's under so much pressure nowadays."
"Are you feeling better now?" Draco asked.
She nodded. "I am sorry for so much trouble."
"Oh, it's no trouble, dear." Narcissa told her. "Dean, perhaps you should take her back to the Leaky Cauldron?"
"Mother—" Draco was about to object.
"We have other things we must do." She said not looking happy about it.
Draco finally nodded. "All right, we'll meet you there as soon as we can." He told Dean.
He nodded helping Kaeli up so they could walk slowly to the Leaky Cauldron. "Thank you." He told all of them.
Narcissa nodded to them a little stiffly, but gratefully before they left. They all got their fittings done for robes before they left. As they were leaving they saw Draco and Narcissa heading down into Knockturn Alley.
"It was a vanishing cabinet." Sirius told Arthur. "That's what Draco was looking at. But there's not reason to buy one vanishing cabinet if you don't know where it's twin is."
"Perhaps they do know where the twin is." Arthur said thinking about it. "The problem is we don't know. I'll bring it up to Dumbledore." He agreed. "What was going on with Kaeli Monson?"
"She fainted in Madame Malkin's." Sirius told him. "She seemed all right, but you could see she's under enormous pressure…and we both know why."
"Yes, of course living with Bellatrix Lestrange promises to be a challenge in itself."
"She's the only one that can help us there though." Remus said. "Her and her brother are the only ones that can save Erin now. I can't imagine Draco's doing any better though. Last year he was given the task of kidnapping Erin and this year…well, there are rumors he might have been given another task to kill someone…"
"Mira told you this?" Arthur asked.
"Yes," Remus nodded. "Dumbledore has said to let events unfold though. I know it's hard, Sirius, but there is nothing we can do right now except put our faith in those that can do something."
He nodded. "I don't like it, but…" there was nothing he could do.
