As Harry looked at Draco quizzically the Slytherin held a finger to his lips as the voices became quiet but still perfectly distinguishable. Harry wondered who could possibly be there with Katy. It's her turn to open up shop today so that's why she's the only one of us up but how did someone get in? She knows not to unlock the door unless someone else comes downstairs.
"You don't have a choice Katy and you know it."
"Actually I think you'll find I have every choice."
"Where are they?"
"I don't know where they ruddy are Macnair."
"Don't play dumb me with me wench! Draco Malfoy was seen coming in here yesterday night as well as Blaise Zambini."
"Spying on your own now? Oh, I'm just so sad I didn't take the mark when da wanted me to."
"Please. You know our ways. You are bound to us by your father's will! You even go to Durmstrang for christ's sake!"
"Are you really as narrow minded as your father? Lovely, I always wondered how he got his victims to execute. So what? You come get 'em and then drag them off to dear old pop?"
"Shut up."
Draco and Harry were looking at each other fearfully now. A deatheater here? In a muggle town? Harry moved as if to go and help his friend but Draco's arm held him back. When Harry looked at the spy rather annoyed Draco whispered, "You heard her. Macnair's down there. We have to wait. Besides, she seems to be doing fine on her own." Both boys turned back towards the stairs as Macnair's voice floated back up to them once more.
"You WILL help us."
"I WILL NOT. You can go fuck yourself for all I care but leave me out of it."
"I will be reporting this to your father brat. You're disgracing your family. Your uncle Lucius will not approve. You are a Black, by blood. Act your station!"
"I didn't ask to be adopted by a pack of murdering idiots. I was quite content with MY SIDE of the Black family until that bitch adopted me after killing my parents."
"Your side is a disgrace. As are you. How can you disrespect Ms. Lestrange like that? She practically reared you! That Nymphadora Tonks for one. FRIENDS with the Weasleys! How can you associate with that?"
"Far better then with you actually."
"And that Sirius Black. It really is a shame Lestrange didn't manage to kill him before the old fool showed up. Such a traitor. He could have been great, such promise. All he had to do was betray the Potter's and he'd be the Dark Lord's most favored servant. Alas, he was doomed to be a slobbering dog among mudbloods and freaks." CRASH
Harry nor Draco had to use much imagination to picture what had just happened. In her rage Katy had thrown one of the glasses she had been putting out at Macnair. And then a soft pop as Macnair apparated away. Harry rushed downstairs closely followed by Draco. In the middle of the Bar stood Katy, shaking with fury.
"Kate?" Harry began to tentatively approach her only to step back quickly as she chucked another glass at the wall.
"HOW DARE HE! HOW DARE HE! I should wring his fucking neck! Insulting Sirius like that! If he was half the man Sirius was then he could probably pass as decent. DAMN HIM! I HATE him. I hate the lot of them!" After throwing one more glass at the wall the girls anger seemed to pass. She looked almost warily at Harry and Draco as if afraid what they would say. Harry was hardly able to form coherent sentences however so she need not have feared. All he could manage was a breathy "How?" Before turning confused eyes on her.
"Harry, please listen to me! I know you probably think I was lying to you and I was. And I'm soooo sorry. But I swear to you I never once told anyone where you were. I didn't even tell Zambini even though I knew he was one of Dumbledore's people. I never gave you away. I'm sorry I had to lie but I was hoping you wouldn't find out about me because if you did then it would surely come to pass that others would know as well and people like Macnair would come." It was Draco's turn to speak through his shock now.
"You're Katy! You're the girl that Lestrange was always saying she should never have adopted because you were too Gryffindor at heart! I can't believe it! I was never allowed to see you. Draco Malfoy." Draco held out his hand to be shook
"I know, a shame really. Katy Black. We could have had great fun. They probably thought I would corrupt you." All three of the bars occupants began laughing at this. Not necessarily because it was very funny but because laughing let all the tension and confusion that had been building up leave their bodies.

Okay, time for the long needed thanks to my reviewers! I hope I didn't miss anyone and I don't think I did but if I did I apologize.
Ceyxa: Oh dear. Sorry about that. I actually did look that up at a site but I guess it had incorrect information. Beg pardon. As it is a little late to change it now, and as if I did change it it would involve changing that whole scene (which I happen to like >. )I don't think I'll be changing it. Plus, it isn't really all that important in the long run. Thanks for telling me though. I know not to use that site anymore.
LadyChiaroscuro: SEE! I posted it! Now you have to stop chasing me! >.
Kaladelia Undomiel: I'm really glad you like this story. You've been reviewing since the very first chapter. Thank you so much! I like it when reviewers review every chapter, makes me feel all tingly inside.
Evil Squirrel: Hehe, glad you like it. Love your name!
