HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE! :D
ENJOY YOUR MEAL ON THIS DAY :P
Chapter 49
A whole day was lost waiting for Kurt to wake up. "Blimey, how many did this stupid git had?", Fred asked in the 5th time they tried to wake him up and Kurt just kept his drunken mumbles. Both were resting a few feet away from his wasted body in a silence.
"What do we do when we find her?", Fred asked as he looked to his thoughtful brother.
"What do we say would be the question…or ask…why did she use you?"
Fred sighed and passed a hand trough his hair, "I just…she wasn't lying…"
"Do you think she just got good at it?"
"Or we just got weak."
"Both?"
"Both."
George slowly lay down as Fred kept resting from one of the shelves behind him and like that both fell to sleep. When George woke up it was already morning. He sat up as he tilted his head to stretch it.
"Fred?", he noticed he wasn't beside him, but Kurt still was sleeping.
Fred came down a few seconds after with a box on his hands and went directly to Kurt.
"What are you doing?"
Fred just looked at him with a grin as he showed him in his hand a Decoy Detonator.
"Fred-"
But Fred dropped it beside Kurt along with two or three more. Then he ran by George, grabbing him by his shirt and dragging him behind a shelf. Then they peeked out their heads and saw how the Detonators blew out black smoke and loud sounds that echoed in the shop. Kurt's body jumped, ending sat on his butt as he covered his ears and twisted around trying to hide from the sound, but where ever he turned he found just a fog of black. Fred and George couldn't help laughing, they didn't even try to stop them. Kurt ended up crawling out of the smoke as it started to fade, panting and looking around.
"W-where…", he tried to spoke in the pants.
"Morning, mate", Fred said with a grin.
"Had a nice sleeping day?"
"Y-you-ah!", he placed his hands on his head, trying to stop the pain.
"How are you feeling?"
"Like my brain exploded.", Kurt answered looking as bad as ever.
"C'mon."
They helped him get up and they left the shop, with their bags and holding him in case he would fall. They decided to go to a coffee in muggle London since it was quieter during this time in the morning. They ordered a cup of tea for Kurt and they had breakfast.
"Ready for the questions?", George asked after Kurt had drank half the cup.
"What do you want to ask me?", Kurt didn't look any better tough, that bright smile he had at the weeding was gone, his hair was messier than ever and his clothes were even ripped.
"What happened to you, to start.", Fred said
"…Katy…she died, didn't you know?"
"Yes, she did at our own home."
"Why are you so sunshine then? She was right to leave you behind."
"Look, what if we tell you…she's not."
"She's alive?", his eyes opened with hope.
"We thought she was dead, but see, someone broke into our shop. It was her."
"How do you know? Could have been anyone.", Kurt's hope faded.
"It was her. Believe us."
"Why should I?"
"You love her right?"
"Yes."
"We do too, so-"
"Why would we bother on telling you she is alive-"
"If we want her for ourselves?"
Kurt raised an eyebrow realizing they had a point.
"We need to know where to find her."
"Where did she usually hang out?"
"Well…she's Kat, she could be in Rome by now."
"So we kept you for nothing?", Fred said as Kurt gave him a glare.
"I do know a place, but I can't promise you anything."
"Take us with you."
"No way.", Kurt said getting up
"Why not?", both asked getting up about to snap.
"Look, after what you did to her, I'm glad she got away from you. Let me find her and if she wants to come back to you, I'll bring her back."
"We told you she was alive."
"Now take us with you."
"Or what?"
"We never cared about using magic in front of muggles-", Fred grinned.
"Less if it involves Kat.", George joined.
"I'm not afraid either.", Kurt also joined in the grins.
"You play well, mate.", George kept the grin as he raised an eye brow and Kurt chuckled.
"Alright, I'll take you with me. C'mon."
Surprised, both followed him outside the coffee shop and went into an empty alley. Kurt grabbed each of their arms and they apparated from there, ending up in the forest Kat, Ron and Harry went to look for Kurt.
"What is this place?", George asked looking around.
"The forest were Kat and I met…", Kurt took a deep breath and then he let it go, remembering the good days, "we used to spent a lot of times here…together or alone."
"So you think she'll be here?"
"Not 100% sure, but at least there's a chance."
Kurt started to walk and Fred and George took out there wands as they followed, seeing he took out his.
"How did you two met anyways?", George asked after a few minutes of search.
"Um…she was running from snatchers around here when she was little…I saw she did a good job with a few of them, but they were about to take her.", Kurt started as his eyes kept looking around the forest as they walked, "I helped her, but all I got was a "I had it handled!", he chuckled remembering little feisty Kat, "she recognized me from Hogwarts and I also did, but we didn't really talk at our school years since she was way younger than me."
"She always has been", Fred mention to point it out.
"Only four years.", Kurt grinned, "and I think she's old enough to make her decisions.", Kurt let out a little chuckled, "how did you three met?", Kurt turned his head to him.
"We were at ah…this reunion thing two years ago", George said.
"We have it every time at the end of the summer."
"We invite friends to just hang out."
"Anyways, her cousin, Hermione, is a good friend of the family so she came and she invited Kat, she thought it was time to get her back in the picture."
"Ah, I see."
They kept looking around, but the forest was empty.
"Strange.", Kurt said out loud.
"What?", Fred and George asked a few feet away.
"It's deserted.", he turned and walked to them, "no Kat…not even snatchers."
"Do you think she came here and they followed her or something?"
"There's a chance", Kurt turned around to have another peek, "Do you guys want to keep looking?"
"Where else do you think she'll be?"
"To tell you the truth…I don't know. She never actually mentions where she goes."
"So she won't be found."
"You got it…I have a house in Rome…I could check in there."
"You go, we'll have another look around."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, if any of us find her, we'll be around Diagon?", George suggested it as he stretched his hand to Kurt, who thought for a few seconds.
"Deal.", he smiled and ended up shaking his hand, then Fred's who was in the deal, "well it was nice to have you as company. Hope to see you soon."
"Same here."
Kurt gave them one last smile before apparating from there, making leaves around his feet flew back.
"What now?", Fred turned to George.
"Keep walking? This forest looks endless."
"Agree."
They kept walking straight ahead, hoping for the better. 'You're in the past. So it's George.' Kat's voice ringed in his head, 'Slut.', the word banged his chest as the last thing he said to her after that night they had, that for him was wonderful. Even if she said she used him, it felt like they were 17 again, the same sparks and sensations going around his body. George's heart beat her name, hoping that they would find her soon and wrap his arms tight around her. Later he will question her, all he needed was to hold her. He even saw himself going for a kiss. "What are you guys do-?", and that would be when he would shut her up. They could ask the questions after, he just wanted some time with her.
