Lil recap: Kat, Ron and Harry were coming back from the lil trip they made to Diagon Alley and a forest looking for Kurt, Kat's friend who appears in part I, and they were attacked by Bellatrix and a Death Eater :)
Chapter 41
The three of them appeared close to the Burrow, already walking to it. They were panting, and they looked exhausted.
"Not a word!", Kat said panting, "to anyone! Understand?"
They both nodded, agreeing for real. They knew not only she could get in trouble, also them for convincing her to take them and go to the forest, but they still didn't regret anything, they rather fight death eaters together than she alone. They went inside and that's when they stopped walking and started to take a breather. Their eyes meet and slowly they started to chuckled.
"It's great to have you back, Kat", Ron said chuckling
Kat just let out a louder chuckled and went back to catch her breath. They heard some footsteps coming from the kitchen behind them so they turned with wide opened eyes, the chuckles stopped.
"Where have you been?", Fred and George asked, not with their usual devious stares.
Kat just sighed and roll her eyes.
"Don't give us that!", they got closer pointing at her
"Where did you go?", Fred asked
"Can you two shut it? Luna's gonna wake up thanks to you."
"This is not the time for jokes!", George said
"What?", Ron let out, "you must really be something special to make them say that."
"You shut it!", they looked at him and then back at Kat who crossed her arms.
"We went out for a stroll. Problem? No. Now, let's all go to bed and wake up tomorrow like nothing happened. Goodnight."
Kat turned to go to the stairs with Ron and Harry following her. Before Fred and George said anything, Bill came out of the kitchen and called her. Hearing the new voice made her stop and look.
"There's someone here to see you."
Fred and George rolled their eyes as they sat on the couch. Bill got closer to them and turned around. Kat's eyes lighted up and a smile came upon her face. She felt her body relaxing after being so tense when Kurt's smile flashed at her.
"Hi, Katy."
Fred and George quickly sent him a glare as Kat rushed and jumped in his arms. Bill, Ron and Harry smiled at witnessing the little reunion.
"What are you doing here? How did you find me?"
"I had to see you. I heard about what happened, also someone one S.I. said they saw you in that, being hit by a spell. I had to check on you. And ever since you contacted us we've been taking track of the places you can be found, like here, Harry or Hermione's house. I saw you walking out with Ron and Harry when I arrived, looks like I was too late."
"I just went down to get some water when he knocked.", Bill said.
"This is amazing. I went out to look for you. I didn't find you. And the locket, it doesn't work."
"Yeah, sorry about that. Mind broke and since they are the only ones that exist, one doesn't work if the other doesn't. Not until I repair it. Which it's almost done."
"God, you scared me."
She hugged him again and he hugged her back with a smile. He gave her a sweet kiss on her head as he caressed it. Fred and George couldn't look away from the scene. They looked mad, but they were also hurt, watching her how she was so mad at them, and has been since she arrived, and her mood suddenly changing so quick when she saw Kurt and fell to his arms. What also bothered them was how he looked at her, he looked at her as if she was a queen; the most precious thing he has ever since. In that, they saw themselves, they have never stopped looking at her that way.
"I've missed you, Katy", Kurt said as they broke the hug.
"Enough!", Fred and George said standing up.
"No one calls her that!"
"Yes", she said turning to them and they noticed how her face changed to annoyed, "he used to call me that way before you did. That's why I told you at the beginning not to call me that. You were never worth it."
"That's not what you said earlier tonight", George said as a smirk crossed their faces.
The other guys just looked at her with wide open eyes and she looked more annoyed.
"I'll split each of your wands into pieces.", their smirks disappeared as they quickly noticed her eyes looking at their crotches for a second, putting the meaning to wands.
"Ok, ok", Kurt said turning her around, "I better go now. Really."
"No, stay."
"I'll visit you again later."
"Um, tomorrow is my weeding", Fred and George quickly groaned as they saw where Bill was heading, "you can come if you want. It's right here.", Kat gasped
"Thank you!", she turned back to Kurt, "come, please!"
"Alright.", Kurt said chuckling, "I'll see you tomorrow then"
Right there, in front of every one, he gave her a quick kiss on the lips, turning her and the entire room in a complete silence. He just smiled at her and caressed her cheek one last time.
"I'm so glad you're alright, Katy, love"
With that he apparated, leaving her body paralyzed. Fred and George just stood behind her as they licked their lips from inside. Ron, Harry and Bill looked at each other as they knew what was about to happen.
"Well…?", Fred said, making Kat react and turn around, but she still had that spaced out look and her cheeks were red.
"Well what?"
"You put our little brother in danger and Harry too just to look for that?", George snapped
"That has a name! And he is my best friend! I couldn't stay calm not knowing where he was or how he was!"
"But putting them in danger?", Fred said pointing back at Harry and Ron.
"Actually, we both-"
"Shut up, Ronald!", George turned to them
"How can you be so fucking careless and think only about yourself and that guy?"
"I can't think of any other thing that you have done that has been so bloody stupid!"
"And what's with you two going with her? Aren't you after Hermione?"
"And you, you want our sister and our girlfriend too, now?"
"Girlfr-? Excuse me?", Kat said, making them turn back to her, "I am not your girlfriend! And they were just trying to help, don't blame them!"
"You're right…"
"We should blame you."
"Hey!", Bill said getting between them, "stop yelling at her!"
"Oh, what now? Does little Willy have a crush on Katy?"
"Have you told your fiancé?"
"What?-you two just lost it!"
"You two better start calming down!", Ron said getting mad and going beside them.
"What the bloody hell is going down here?"
They all looked to the stairs where Arthur was standing in his coat with arms crossed and not to happy. Molly, Ginny, Hermione and Fleur stood behind him.
"Will? What's wrong?", Fleur said
"Nothing, these two are just-"
But he stopped as Kat walked away, passed Arthur and left the house.
"Kat!"
Hermione and Ginny ran behind her, but Kat apparated before they got to her. Hermione and Ginny slowly went back to the tense silence of the room.
"She left.", Hermione said.
The silence came again and all the stares fell on Fred and George, except for Bill, Harry and Ron's, thinking they have had enough.
"I don't know what happened, but you two better find a way to calm down.", Arthur said as Fred and George looked down, "now, let's all go to bed! Tomorrow is a big day!"
Arthur said it, not so excited, rather annoyed. He was the first one to leave, followed by Molly. Bill sighed as he walked to the stairs and took Fleur with him; Ginny went after. Hermione crossed her arms and gave the twins one last glare and sigh before leaving. Harry and Ron wanted to say something, but figured it wasn't the best time so they followed Hermione to go to bed. Fred and George finally collided on the couch, sighing, feeling the anger being lifted and regret overcoming. The only thing thy thought about now was where Kat could be and if she went back to Kurt. Ever since they saw her again, everything they want to say comes out the opposite.
