Oh, yeah, Percy appears here :) He will be showing up once in a while.
Can you please tell me your opinions? I want to know how my writing is going. In general.
Chapter 52
They noticed Kat was lost in her thoughts, she didn't speak the rest of the walk so they convinced her to go to the same coffee shop they went with Kurt in muggle London.
"What now?", Fred asked as he and George looked at Kat, who was looking at her cup of hot chocolate.
"We can only get in the Ministry. See if they got the locket, that might takes us further.", she said sighing.
"That's mad.", Fred pointed out.
"But it's the only way to actually find out.", George added.
"The thing is…", Kat looked at them, "how are we going to get in?"
"Don't you have something in the bag to help us?"
Kat placed the bag on the table and started to look, endlessly into it.
"I can't think of anything.", she said disappointed, "let's just call it a day. Longer ones are ahead."
She got up as they nodded and followed her. When they entered an alley, the same one Kurt and the twins used to apparated, they did it and appeared at the forest Kat usually is, the one she and Kurt met.
"Hoping to see him, huh?", Fred asked her as she putted up the shield.
"His body wasn't there, I hope he is alright."
"He's a very good wizard, he will be alright.", George said
She turned to him and both smiled. She smiled back and went to them as she took out the tent from her bag.
"Put it up, you two are the men here…or…half of it."
They chuckled and did what she said. When they put it up they went inside and Kat collided on her bed. Fred and George decided to make her some dinner and brought it to her.
"Thanks guys", she said as she grabbed the bowl of soup from Fred's hand.
They also had bowl and they sat on her bed, on each of her sides.
"What gives you the motive to do all of this?", Fred asked in the silence.
"What do you mean?"
"This. Running away so much. Taking these kinds of risks on your own. Playing dead.", George gave a little chucked when he was done.
"I just…I just know my reasons are good. Also, the only thing I thank my parents for is that…the nerve."
"Don't you get tired? Don't you just wanna go back home right now and leave everyone to their luck?"
"Not really…Well…a few times I wished this wouldn't be happening, but…this also needs to end. And I might not be the chosen one to end it, but I wanna help."
"You are just…", Fred chuckled before finishing, George joined him.
"What?"
"You're brilliant.", George added
She turned to look at him, surprised of those words. Then she turned to Fred who was looking her the same way as George, tender like. She looked back to her bowl as she felt her cheeks burning.
"We better get some rest."
She placed her bowl on the little night able besides her bed and then went back to it with them still sitting there. She just lay there has they finish eating and they talked. Their soothing voices made her forget the times that were going trough and she had another calm night. Before leaving, each one kissed her forehead and left. The next day the three of them were on their way to the Ministry walking trough a sidewalk of London.
"What's the plan?", George asked as he and Fred walked behind her.
"We just go in.", she said.
"What?"
"Just like that?", George cleared.
Kat gave a little chuckle and look back at them for a second, "I figured it would be much more fun to meet Umbridge again. Face to face.", she gave another chuckle.
"Now we're talking.", Fred said as George chuckle.
Before they turned the corner, Kat told them to stop and she continued. Across the street she saw a lonely red telephone booth planted in a corner were only a few people were passing by.
"Alright", she said after she turned to them, "I'll go first, wait a few seconds then you go inside. It's better if we're separated until we get to Umbridge's office."
"Alright."
Kat turned around and walked away from them as they gave a few steps closer to the corner to watch her. She went into the booth and inserted her coins. She turned around to see the outside of the booth elevating along with Fred and George and the darkness covered her. She looked down as the light started to show and she saw people walking under her feet and they made way, with out looking, for the booth to land. When it did, it opened and she stood out and quickly walked away, but slowed down halfway to wait for Fred and George. In a few seconds she saw the booth going down again with them inside. Their eyes spotted her and she continued walking. She caught a handsome middle age man who looked like he worked at the ministry. She got close to him and slipped her hand under his arm. By the action he gave a jump, but as soon as she smiled at him, he smiled back.
"Well hello there", he said raising his hat.
"Hi, um, you look like you know you're way around here. I had a meeting with Miss Dolores Umbridge, but I'm a bit late. Do you mind showing me the way?"
Fred and George were a few feet away trying not to lose her between everyone. Also to keep an eye on that man who seemed to fancy her. The man accepted her request and guided her to an elevator that was almost crowded, but Fred and George insisted on getting in that one too. They went between Kat and the man, making them break apart.
"Excuse me, excuse me.", they said as they pass by to the back.
Kat bit her lower lip to hold the chuckled and the man offered her his arm again. She smiled at him and then took it. As they went a few floors up, the elevator emptied and filled again. When they stopped at level one, Kat and the man went out, but Fred and George stayed in. The elevator closed and it went up.
"I'll be seeing you here in half an hour?", the man asked grabbing her hand.
"Ah, sure.", she replied.
As he kissed his hand, another elevator stopped with Fred and George inside and they saw the scene when they got out.
"Till then."
The man walked away with a smile and Kat turned to them.
"If you want, we can go and you can go with him.", Fred grinned.
"Get some alone time.", George joined the grin.
"And miss Umbridge's face? No, thanks."
They chuckled as they started to walk. They were walking side by side when Fred and George grabbed her hand, making her stop.
"What's-?", but she stopped when she saw their faces.
They stood there with a frown and a glare as Percy Weasley walked their way looking down at some papers.
"Morning", he said passing by them.
"Morning.", both said back
Percy stopped a few feet after, taking his eyes off the papers, staring at nowhere. He turned around quickly to face were the two voices came from as Fred and George turned slowly to him. Kat turned after and stayed behind them.
"What are you two doing here?", Percy said, rather surprised than mad.
"Miracle you recognize us.", Fred said.
"You better not be up to anything bad to get me or dad fired.", he said with a warning tone. He took a good look at the figure standing between them, "Katherine Skye? You're suppose to be dead."
"Mom thought you were.", George commented.
"I-I better report this!", Percy said trying to avoid the conversation or eye contact with them.
"Be careful, Percy.", Fred said stopping him from giving one more step to Kat.
"Or you wouldn't want us to make something"
"That gets you and dad fired."
Percy just took a deep breath, he knew his brothers to damn well to think they were hesitating.
"What do you need?"
"To get into Umbridge's office.", Kat said.
"No way."
"Fine. We'll do it on our own.", Fred said.
"It'll be fun to have you back at the house.", George added with a grin.
Percy took another deep breath and looked beside them to spot Umbridge's door being guard. With out any word he walked by them, with glares over him as he walked over to the man guarding the door.
"They need your services at the entrance. They say there are rumors of Undesirable No. 1 being spotted right outside the public bathrooms."
"Yes, sir.", the man said and he walked away.
Fred, George and Kat hid in the space were the door in which Percy came out was as the guard pass by. When they came out and got closer, Percy sent them a look that said 'you're on your own now'. Fred and George gave him a thankful nod and he walked the other way with his eyes on the papers as if nothing was happening. The three of them walked to the door normally to not raise any attention from the woman raising their wands as they sat at some tables and the papers passed in front of them, turn and fold. They quietly opened the door and closed it behind. The office was completely empty as they got closer to the desk.
"Stay in look out.", she said to Fred who nodded and went to the door.
Kat started to look trough Umbridge's desk while George looked in some shelves that were beside the wall. Kat looked over the desk and in the drawers, but no locket. What did called her attention were some files in which the first one had Arthur Weasley's picture.
"George?", she called and he went to her. His eyes opening wide when he saw it.
The file had his blood status, his family and also a security status which said he was being tracked. It also said he had a strong relationship with "Undesirable No. 1". George grabbed the file as Kat kept looking trough and spotted one of Mad-eye who had a cross over his picture, also Dumbledore's who had one. She saw one of Hermione, stating that she was closely related to Harry, like Ron's also said. Kat's hand stopped looking when she spotted her picture with the same red cross over it. George saw it and he grabbed it.
"Status: Pure-blood, but has been living with muggles who adopted her when she was 10 years old.", he started to read almost whispering, "Family: real parents are pure-blood, foster parents muggles. Security status", he took a pause, "dead."
George looked at Kat who didn't look so happy. She kept looking trough and they saw files on all those that are in the Order, some teachers of Hogwarts, some students that are in Dumbledore's army saying that they could be a big help to track Harry, and Fred and George's files were also there.
"She's coming.", Fred said whispering closing the door.
George and Kat got the files back in the cabinets and George ran to the door as he and Fred stayed on each side of it. Umbridge went inside of the office, making mark on some papers and she raised her head.
"May I help you?", she asked as her arms wrapped the clipboard.
Kat was sitting on her desk, legs crossed and a book covering her face.
"Hello, Dolores.", she said before getting the book down, "long time no see."
Umbridge's eyes opened as if she has seen a ghost.
"We've missed you."
She turned to face the two devious voices to find the boys getting close to her wih wands to her face. She stopped walking backwards when she felt the tip of Kat's wand on her back.
"I will call for security!", she threaten
"Calm down, Dolores.", Kat said in a soothing voice, "we just want something from you."
Harsh, Kat turned her around and took a good look of her neck. When she didn't see anything, she pointed her wand to Umbridge's chin.
"Where's the locket?", Kat asked.
"What are you talking about?", she said quick and Kat looked over her to Fred and George, and the three of them smirked at the same time.
"They took it from you, didn't they?", Kat said with the smirk
Umbridge didn't answer, but she was looking pretty embarrassed.
"We won't be needing your services any longer.", Kat said walking by her, "have a good day."
The three of them left her office like nothing, but she ran out.
"Don't let them out!"
They turned, again, like nothing to find 3 man going to them. Kat waved her wand, making all the papers the women were turning and they flew to block the way of the man. They kept walking to an elevator and went down.
"It was nice to see her again.", Kat said with a smiled as they walked trough the crowd like it was their house.
"Yeah, she did something new with her hair.", Fred added with the same smile.
They heard a ruckus coming from behind so they turn to see the same three men, along with a few others, running and pushing the crowd behind them.
"Time for a run.", George mentioned before the three of them started to run.
They sometimes got apart, sometimes bumped into each other as they ran. Fred went first into a fireplace and George and Kat kept running side by side. George then entered another one, but Kat kept running. Right before a men stretched his hand to grab her, she jumped in one and her body disappeared in black smoke. The three of them appeared at the same time walking down a hill of the forest they were staying. George and Kat told Fred what they saw.
"Do you think they are tracking us right now?", Fred asked as they kept walking.
"Don't think so.", Kat answered, "they wouldn't have stated that I'm dead and yours didn't say anything about running away or missing. And she had Mad-eye's magical eye on her door. That sick vial witch!"
"Not really surprised", George said
"What now?", Fred asked stopping, making Kat and George stop.
"We do know they have the locket.", George pointed out.
"The thing is, what could be the next horcrux? What else could they be looking for now?", she said going down to the ground and getting her knees to her chest.
"Katy", Fred said as he and George sat beside her, "don't crack your head. Let's go back to the Burrow."
"That would have been a great idea yesterday. If Umbridge knows I'm alive now, she will report it, also that we broke in her office, making your family more on the look out. Besides, even if you have said it yesterday, I still wouldn't do it. I need to find Kurt or someone from S.I. Revenge them."
There was a silence after. Fred and George didn't know what to say seeing her sad and also wanting revenge so bad.
"How did you escaped your parents anyways?", George broke the silence.
"Well…luckily they appareted halfway, it was better since I was pretending to be dead. They just placed me in this big table, in a huge dinning room. They said that You-know-who would have a great surprised and Nagini a nice meal. Then they just left. That's when I apparated fast."
"Do you think You-know-who knows you're alive?"
"No. My parents just left me there so he would see me. If he knows now…I don't know. I doubt my parent-…they told him, they would look bad if they say they brought my dead body and there wasn't anything."
"True on that."
"C'mon", she said getting up, "the day's still young and we can't keep staying here."
Kat started to walk as they got up and putted their back packs on. Walking fast they got to her side and looked at her face, how focus she was in one goal. They also felt stress on her and they were right. In her mind, there was a battle. She had a few plans, but she didn't know how to start them or if to even do them.
"Kat.", Fred said as he and George grabbed her wrists, stopping her.
"What?", she snapped with out meaning to.
Fred got close to her and gave her a gentle kiss, shocking her. George turned her around and did the same. Then they slid their hands in hers to grab them as they smile. She smiled back and they started to walk. "Thank you", she thought as she felt the stress leaving. That feeling made her want to put up the tent and stay there with them until the war was over.
