Chapter 47
Two weeks has passed since then. Fred has been avoiding Kat, and Kat has been avoiding him and George, thinking Fred told him, but half trough the first week she figured he didn't since George came and talked to her once in a while, or tried to. Fred was in so much frustration, part of him regretted giving in to Kat, but another part didn't. It also hurt him what she said after. That sweet Katy he fell for 2 years ago was gone and he didn't know who to blame. Kat as only been thinking on those dreams she has every night: Fred and George dead. If she gets to lose them, she would die after. It was George when he lost his ear and seeing him unconscious on the couch made her lose it. Also she had Hermione, Harry and Ron on her mind, where could they be? Most important, how are they? She was tired of being there and not knowing anything, not even from Kurt. As for her and Fred, things did get tenser when they had to talk. They would start arguing the second one of them opened their mouths. The others got tired of it, so they tried to keep them on different points of the house. Lupin and Tonks came to visit and since Kat was the one to open the door, she quickly sat with them in the living room before the others arrive. George saw her so he took Fred up to their rooms for a while; they could say hi to Tonks and Lupin later.
"Alright, Fred", George said closing and locking the door as Fred sat on his bed, "what's wrong?"
"What do you mean?", Fred had a clue, but he tried to play dumb.
"You and Kat have been fighting way too much. What happened?"
"Nothing."
"Something did happen. I asked Ginny to ask her and she told me Kat said nothing, but she was lying. You can tell me."
"…It's nothing, re-"
"Fred."
Fred took a look to his eyes, his own eyes looked back at him asking for the truth.
"I'll be right back", Kat said as she got up from the couch, "gonna get some fresh air."
Kat walked to the front door, but before living, when she saw they all went back to the conversation, she looked between the coats that were in the hanger and took out her messenger bag. She felt this was it for a reason. She went out of the Burrow and stood a few feet away, before the walls of grass started.
"You did what?", George snapped at Fred who took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry, but you should know what she said after."
"How could you? You didn't even tell me before. If you wanted it just you two you could have told me, Fred."
"It was out of nowhere-but listen, that's not important-"
"Of course, since you did it, it's not important! If it was me you would want every bloody detail!"
"George, calm down, she'll hear you. Listen to me."
"Why?"
"She said she just used me."
George stayed in silence as he saw how devastated Fred was when he said it.
"You're kidding…"
"No…she looked me in the eyes and said she used me…she needed it. That she used to love me…and you."
George shook his head as he sat down on his bed sighing. As the wind blew Kat's hair to her face, the grass kept moving faster and faster. Chills went down her back and she felt her adrenaline pumping.
"Promised me something", an image of Hermione and her voice flashed in her memory, "stay close to me. If we get apart, look for me, and I'll look for you. We fight side by side."
"I promise.", Kat said to herself after the memory.
"Do you want tea, Kat?", Tonks asked her at the door.
Kat didn't take her eyes of the scene. From afar she saw two black dots of smoke coming to her in zig zags, turning between each other and going up and down.
"This is it.", she whispered to herself.
"So…that's it?", George asked Fred, "we gave her up?"
"I think is the best, we're in the middle of war. We should focus on that and then, maybe she'll come ar-"
"Kat, no! Remus!", Tonks yelled outside.
Fred and George looked their window and saw Tonks close to the grass and Kat running inside of it. They saw how the two death eaters flew over her and she threw spells at them. Both stormed out of the room, almost flying and they reached the front yard with the others. They kept running to go into the grass, but before Tonks stopped them, Fred was hit with what it looked like an invisible glass and fell on his back to the ground.
"Fred?", George asked going down to him.
"She put a shield on before I could follow. I don't know how to break it.", Tonks said as she and Lupin started to throw spells at the shield.
Fred and George got up and saw how blue lights came out of the grass, trying to hit the death eaters. A few times it did, but they kept fighting. What was keeping the shield up was Kat's concentration; even though she was fighting she couldn't stop worrying about the others; especially when Fred and George hold the spotlight. Tonks and Lupin stopped trying to break the shield and just look how the blue light kept shooting out, they couldn't see Kat at all.
"Avada Kedavra!", a men's voice yelled.
"No!", Fred and George cried out from the top of their lungs.
The green light hit the grass and the blue lights stopped shooting to the death eaters and the shield went completely down, something that scared them all. They stayed paralyzed hoping for an answer from Kat. The death eaters went down to the grass and they kept waiting. Fred and George could only hear their heart beats going slower and louder, pounding their chest so much it hurt. The grass moved from someone's step. Arthur, Tonks and Lupin raised their wands and they grabbed the twins to pull them back, but they stood strong with feet buried in the ground. Kat's parents appeared with a grin on their faces. As they kept walking, everyone, except the twins gave a few steps back.
"Fred, George!", Arthur called, but they didn't move.
"What a waste", the men spoke as he moved his arm forward, dragging something.
Their jaws dropped open with a few gasps. The men hold in his hand his own death daughter, dragging her by her foot. With wide open eyes, looking at nothing. Fred and George's legs started to tremble, losing strength.
"Aww, don't be sad.", the women spoke with a grin, "You knew this would happen. Now, we'll take her to the dark lord so he can see her body, then we'll bring her back to you…well, maybe. Depends on Nagini's appetite."
"Shut up!", George snapped with eyes filled with tears.
"Boy, don't make me waste energy on you."
"We should leave you alone now. We also need some quality time with our daughter.", the men said as he let Kat's body fall to the ground. He went down to her and caressed her cheek, "my poor daughter, we told you things would go wrong."
"Don't touch her!", Fred yelled giving a step closer.
Both just let out a chuckle and the men took Kat in his arms. They sent the others another smirk and disappear in black smoke. Fred and George finally could move and went to jump on them, but Arthur wrapped his arms around Fred and Lupin around George. Both started to struggle and even hit them, trying to escape the grip.
"Let me go! We have to save her!", Fred yelled trying to get lose from his father.
"She can't be gone!", George yelled, as his knees bended to collide.
Lupin let go of George since he was already on his knees on the ground. Fred on the other hand still had some strength in him to fight.
"Fred, she's gone! I'm sorry!", Arthur said to him, "there's nothing we can do about it!"
Fred finally collided on the ground covering his face. Ginny had buried her face in Molly's shoulder since she saw Kat's body being dragged and Molly was crying. Tonks was also crying in Lupin's chest since he hugged her after he let go of George. Fred got up from the ground and he went to the Burrow, from outside they heard stuff breaking and a door being slammed. George kept shaking his head slowly, not believing what he just saw. Fred had locked himself in his room and he broke, threw and kicked everything in is way. Only a small cracking sound under his foot made him stop and look down. It was a picture frame upside down with shattered glass under. He grabbed the picture and when he turned, his heart cracked more. It was one of George and him on the ground, with Kat laying over them. It was the day after they decided to be together at their 7th year. He sat on his bed, looking at the picture with tears streaming down his cheeks.
"This just in…", Lee Jordan's voice spoke trough the old radio Ron had in his hand as Hermione and Harry sat around him in the quiet living room of the Black House, his voice didn't sound happy at all, it was breaking, "um…an old friend of mine…and old friend to a lot of people was just…murdered…Kat Skye…"
The trio's eyes opened and Hermione quickly shook her head. Her hands started to rub her arms as she felt the shivers kicking in.
"She was an old fellow student to a lot at Hogwarts during 96' and 97'. If you knew her…a lot of people are with you right now. Sadly her…her body was taken to… you-know-who…", he stopped with a sigh as the trio felt cold and chills, "no funeral has been announce so I'll keep you up to date if any."
Hermione turned off the radio with a slap on the button and she let her hand there. The room became completely silence only her sobs were heard. Harry and Ron's noses were red. Ron placed the radio on the floor beside him as he slid closer to Hermione and hugged her tight. She wrapped both of her arms around him and continued crying on his shoulder. The day passed and Fred and George were on Fred's bed looking at each other with the picture in the middle. Both had red eyes and running noses and were sniffing.
"She can't be gone…", Fred whispered
"She…", George wanted to say that she was, they saw it, to keep the sanity in his brother, but himself couldn't believe it.
"She has fought for so much…she has never been in such serious injury…and now…in one second she's gone…"
"She can't be…", George confess as he was also falling into insanity.
Neither have eaten anything and it was already dinner. Molly came to the door with two plates and knocked, but nothing.
"Go away, mum, please!", Fred finally snapped.
After that, Molly didn't keep insisting, she was also hurt, but she knew they were worst.
