Chapter 51
The next morning Kat woke up first and walked out of her room to find Fred and George still sleeping. She crossed her arms shaking her head, but her smile came over quickly as they looked so peaceful. She saw Fred turned and let out a moan of pain. She went and got down to him.
"Fred?", she said as she caressed his hair.
He slowly opened his eyes and smiled as he saw her there. Remembering the good old days.
"It's nice to wake up to you again.", she went speechless for a few seconds.
"Um…are you feeling ok from the attack?"
"Yeah, it just looks like my body didn't get along with the floor after it."
"Oh, well you can lie down on the bed for a while before you leave."
"No, it's ok. We should go to Diagon Alley.", he sat up and stretched.
"Why?"
"We met with Kurt, we made a deal that we will go back to Diagon Alley if one of us finds you.", he turned to George and shook him so he would wake up.
"Kurt knows I'm alive?"
"Yeah, and it was for the best. He was wasted when we found him, he was really broken."
"Oh"
"Kurt?", George said, sitting up and yawning, "oh, yeah…we should go and find him."
Kat nodded as she got straight up again. Before leaving, Fred and George changed and later they got the tent down and in Kat's bag. She took down the shield and they apparated.
"Why here?", she asked as she looked around Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.
"Just getting the rest of the money you left.", George said looking at her and she chuckled.
They got the money out of the register and left the shop. They walked around, but no sight of Kurt.
"Should we come back later?"
"Let's look one more place."
Fred and George look at Kat with stares that asked were. She just started to walk and they followed her trough the few people that were there. She slowly started to stop as she looked around, making sure no one was seeing. Fred and George also looked around to see if they saw something strange. Kat entered the alley first, but stopped in a gasp making the guys enter quick and stop behind her. The brick wall was destroyed and the wooden door was ripped out. Kat quickly went inside and they followed her. They went down a hall way that only fitted one and they found another ripped and broken door. She entered the room and it was upside down. Tables and chairs all over the place, broken, the walls were also destroyed.
"What is this?", George asked looking around.
"S.I. headquarters. Looks like they found us."
She started to walk quick and looked around; she let out another gasp when she started to see bodies of her fellow Shadows Insiders members. When she entered the room where they used to practice, her body paralyzed, she had only seen less than 10 bodies outside this room, now in this room there was a massacre. More than 30 bodies of the S.I. members were there and only a few of death eaters. She covered her mouth with her hands and as soon as she felt the twins were behind her, she turned to bury her face in Fred's chest who wrapped his arms around her, tighter as she grabbed and pulled his shirt.
"How could they have found you?", George asked looking at the bodies, "it looks like you had this place well kept."
"We did.", she said tuning her head out of Fred's chest, "no one could even apparate in here, the crystal balls couldn't located anyone who was inside, it was very well protected."
Kat slowly got away from Fred and went more into the room, and they followed. She started to check on all the bodies, checking if any of them were Kurt, Austin, Alice or Samantha, luckily they weren't there. But she wasn't sure if that was good, what if they tried to run away and they got to them somewhere else? Who ever did this will pay. It didn't take a genius to know. She stood in the middle of the room, surrounded by those who treated her like a family when she was younger, all of them were gone. Her hand around her wand tighten up, her nails dug in her hand and her anger was raising.
"Let's go", she said turning around and walking.
"Where?"
"You? Back to the Burrow."
"No way!", both said stopping and she turned to them.
"We're going with you."
"To where exactly?"
"I have to find Hermione or Kurt or any fucking death eater that did this. If I find Harry, I will find You-know-who and all those fucking bastards."
"We won't leave you alone."
"We can't."
"Fine. Come if you want. I won't be turning back to safe your arses."
She started to walk again and they followed as they chuckled. Instead of apparating, she kept walking out and stopped when they reached the outside. Fred and George quickly got their wands up when they saw 3 death eaters right in front of them. One quickly threw a spell, but Kat cast a shield and she pushed Fred and George back inside. They ran down the hallway as fast as they could. When they went inside the room they waited side by side with wands raised. One by one the death eaters entered and started to surround them. They just threw spells around, hoping to hit them. Kat was able to hit one and ran out trough the hall and the death eaters follow.
"Take cover! Just do it!", her echo was heard.
"Kat!", Fred and George yelled as they went to opening.
They were about to ran behind her, when they saw a big green light lighting up the tunnel. Their eyes opened wide and each one took cover on each side of the opening and the green light flashed and a bit of it hit the wall George was hiding, making him jump. The light went out and they got up and went inside. The hall way with legs trembling. As they reached the end and the light came trough, they saw Kat standing there, breathless and the lifeless body of three death eaters in front of her. Fred and George let out a sigh as they smiled.
"Biggest curse ever.", she said looking to the bodies.
"I prefer you did it than them.", Fred said smiling.
"Let's go before more show up."
She grabbed them by the hands and they apparated from there, ending up in a alley of muggle London.
"What now?", George asked while they walked trough the city.
"I-I don't know. I've been cracking my head since I left the Burrow on where to look but…nothing comes to mind…"
"Doubt they went to Hogwarts.", George commented.
"Not this early if they were looking for the horcruxes."
Kat bit her lip as she walked in front of them, thinking and thinking. Her eyes opened wide as a random memory hit her.
"Way to make a first impression", Hermione said as she laughed and Kat did also.
"Sorry. Sorry, guys!", She went out of Hermione's way to see the others and apologize.
Hermione's laughed faded away as Fred and George's voice faded in.
"Kat?"
"You ok?"
"How could I've been so stupid?"
They just stayed confused as she grabbed their wrists and pulled them away. They entered another alley and before anyone passed, or Fred and George asked, she apparated them. When they looked around, the place was familiar.
"The Black House.", both said
"It was obvious! Why was I so stupid and didn't look here before?", she said as she gave a few steps forward and turned around, hearing them chuckle.
"So cute when you get that way.", George smiled.
"But you're not stupid.", Fred said getting close and grabbing her chin, "you were just thinking about us too much.", both winked and she rolled her eyes.
She turned around and went upstairs while the guys check the dinning room and other places that were downstairs. Kat went around every room, calling Hermione, Ron and Harry, but nothing. When she was going out of a room, the name on the door called her attention: Regulus Arcturus Black. She whispered to herself, trying to make memory. She looked in her messenger bag and did the accio spell, followed by 'Hermione's letter' which made about 10 or more letters fly out of her messenger bag.
"I should file these.", she said picking them up.
She looked over them until she found the one she was looking for.
"Harry says Dumbledore's death was in vein", Hermione's voice said as she read the letter, "after Harry opened the locket, it only had inside a note from a R.A.B. that said: 'To the Dark Lord. I know I will be dead long before you read this, but I want you to know it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match, you will be mortal once more. R.A.B.'. We don't know who it means, but Harry's cracking his head trying to figure it out. He also said he plans on looking for these horcruxes alone, stubborn isn't he? Anyways, I'll write you soon, if we do this, I want you to come."
"Kat!", Fred and George's voice broke the reading.
She went down quickly with the letter still in her hands. She went to the dinning room where Fred and George stood, with Kreacher in the middle.
"He mentioned something about Harry being here.", George mentioned.
"When was he here? Was he with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger?", Kat asked getting close.
"I answer to no one, except my master."
"I know your master. Tell me, Kreacher."
"Why should Kreacher answer to a traitor?"
Kat let out a frustrating sigh.
"If you don't tell me what you know, I will destroy the portrait of Walburga Black.", Kat said pointing at him, with no hesitation.
"How dare you!"
"Tell me!"
Kreacher stood still looking at Kat with his tired eyes and fill with rage.
"They were here…the three of them."
"When?"
"They left the house…this passed Monday."
"Damn it!-…did they mention something about R.A.B.?"
"…Yes…they asked Kreacher about the locket Master Regulus left."
"What did you say?", Fred asked.
"I told them what Regulus asked…I tried to destroy the locket as the Master asked, but I couldn't do it.", Kreacher's stared turned into fear, "then I told them what happened…someone stole it. Mundungus did…they asked Kreacher to bring him, so I did…but he said he had already sold it."
"Did he said to who?", George asked.
Kreacher just nodded as his shaking, boney arm pointed to a corner behind them. They turned around and went to chair that had a pile of copies of the Daily Prophet. Kat started to look trough the covers to see if someone looked like it could have the locket.
"Oh, god!", she said with disgust, "look who's here."
She showed Fred and George the cover of one, it was Umbridge, standing by the Ministry with that same creepy, fake smile.
"Just when you think you get rid of her…", George said.
"They went for her.", Kreacher said, making them turn around.
"The old pink rag?", George asked, hoping it wasn't her.
"Yes. Mundungus said she was the one who had the locket."
Kat, Fred and Gorge looked at each other with 'what now' looks.
"Did they go? Harry and the other two?"
"They said they were going to from what I heard."
"Did they come back after?"
"Haven't seen them since."
"Do you think they caught them?", George asked looking at Kat.
With out answering, she started to look trough the other copies of the Daily
Prophets until she stopped at one that had Harry running trough the Ministry with flying fliers behind him.
"Look", she said grabbing it, "Harry Potter, now known as Undesirable No. 1, was spotted infiltrating the Ministry of Magic. Dolores Umbridge claims to be brutally attacked by the criminal who later ran out accompanied by two accomplices, Ronald Weasley, pure blood, and Hermione Granger, muggle-born, who is also wanted for interrogations. Both, Weasley and Granger now are also wanted for being in a relation with Potter and also helping him be apart of yesterday's wreck at the Ministry.' 'Brutaly attacked'?", Kat repeated in disbelief, "obviously that frog exaggerated."
"And now Ron and Hermione are also wanted.", Fred pointed out.
"Now they have more people behind them.", Kat added, "on the bright side we do know they went there."
"But did they got the locket?", George asked.
"That's what we need to know.", Kat gave one last look to the page and she hid it in her bag, "thanks, Kreacher, we'll be out of your way now."
Fred and George looked at her as if they were saying they should stay, but Kat glared at them and walked out first. They did thought it was better to stay there, somewhere safe to plan, but they decided it was better to let Kat do the planning.
