This is the shortest chapter. I just wanted to give Fred, George and Kat a moment after everything :)

Chapter 53

They decided to not apparate for a while in case they missed something, besides that they didn't know where to go. They finally stepped foot in a village, but they just pass trough it in case there were clues. The sun was setting when Kat decided it was time to stop and put up a shield and inside they put up the tent close to a lake.

"I'm gonna wash up.", Kat said with clothes on her hands, "you can go after."

"Or-"

"Stink until we find another way to wash up.", Kat interrupted Fred as he stopped smirking and frowned.

"Seriously, if I see one of you sneaking around I will knock you out until the war is over."

They laughed as she walked out of the tent. She noticed she had placed the shield a bit far from the lake so she took it down after she saw there was no one around. She placed the folded clothes on the ground along with her wand. She took off the clothes she had on and let it fall beside the others. She slowly got in the water until it covered her body. She went under and came out with wet hair and closed eyes, taking in the cold breeze of the night. The water moved around her body as she turned to face the tent, making sure no one would come or the guys peeked. She passed a hand over her hair and then wrapped her arms around her, staying still for a few minutes, not really looking at something. She spaced out for a few moments. She decided it was time she got out and she swum to the border, but before getting out, a hand grabbed her ankle and pulled her away as she tried to hold on to the grass. She let go of one hand to reach for her wand, but what ever it was pulled her stronger and she lost grip. She was dragged underwater as she tried to reach the surface. When she was dragged out, dripping wet and naked, she covered her chest with her hands and crossed her legs when she saw a chubby bald guy, dirty and with clothes that had patches and were also dirty. Either a snatcher or just a homeless man. He looked at her with lust as he licked his lips and she crawled back. She looked back and saw she was at the other side of the lake. Fred and George were playing wizards' chess, focus on the game when her calls broke it. They looked at each other for a second before storming out of the tent. They quickly went to the lake and saw her on the other side with the guy on her, trying to pin her hands to the ground. They felt their blood burning trough their veins and their adrenaline growing higher as her cries ringed in their ears.

"Carpe Retractum!"

Out of Fred's wand came out a rope that tied around the man's neck and Fred pulled him to them, making the body fall to the water and he kept dragging him all over it. When the man reached them, they dragged him out of the water and started to kick him as he was shocking in water.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Both pointed their wands and yelled at the same time. The green lights hit the body of the man who was on his way to death, they just made his trip shorter. After they stood still beside him as they panted. They took a look at Kat who had turned on her belly and her eyes showed a track of fear. They jumped in the water and went to the other side, when they got there she crawled to them and they hugged her tight.

"Did he did anything?", George asked in the hug

"No", she said shaking her head.

After a few seconds she let got and covered her chest again, they understood and turned around as she got in the water. When she did, they grabbed her hands to guide her out and also make sure nothing else could get her. They got out of the water first and then helped her out. They turned again as she got dressed.

"We should leave this place.", she said with the old clothes in her hands, "just in case"

"Alright.", Fred said as both nodded.

They went inside to get anything they had taken out of their bags and then putted the tent down to be on their way. Since it was too dark to be wondering around they just apparated close to a cliff and put up the tent and the shield quick. Fred and George went to the table and saw Kat placing some plates for them that had sandwiches. They just stood there looking at her, she was quiet and she looked fragile. They saw how scared she was, her screams told them so. They also felt this warmth knowing she trusted them to come out to save her, they will always do. She looked at them and sent them a quick smile before looking back at the table. They got close to her and each one hugged her from each side as she stood paralyzed between. Their lips kissed her head for a few seconds before they let go, but their arms kept her wrapped.

"We got so scared.", George said with his mouth on her head.

"I'm ok, nothing happened."

"Yeah, but it almost did.", Fred added.

She couldn't explain what she was feeling right now. It was this warmth and a soothing sensation that calmed her down. Lifting the weight of the world from her shoulders.

"I prepare a little dinner.", she said as they slowly lose the grip.

"Thanks"

She went around the table to sit in front of them as they sat down to eat.

"Was that your first?", she asked and they looked confused, "your first killing curse?"

"Yeah", they said nodding

She didn't say anything to that, just took another bite.

"We just lost it.", Fred started

"Even if he was off you, we thought he deserved more.", George added.

"We don't ever want to hear you scream like that again."

She slowly raised her head to find them both looking at her with desire to hold her forever and protect her.

"Thanks for saving me", she said with a half smile.

"Any time.", both said with a little smile.

The next few minutes were filled with random talk, but no laughs, only smiles as they admired each other. After Kat went to the room and changed into her pajamas. She went back to the living room and saw Fred and George, already in their pajamas, trying to find a comfortable way to sleep on the floor.

"If it's too uncomfortable", she said as Fred looked at her sitting up, and George was already laying, "you can always sleep in my bed."

They just looked at each other with a half smile.

"Just saying.", she said before she walked away.

Fred and George looked at each other with a smile and raised eyebrows. They got up and walked slowly to the bedroom so she wouldn't hear them. She was giving them her back when they went in and George went over her, carefully, not to touch her much or fall on her.

"Is the offer still open?", he asked laying in front of her and she nodded.

Fred lay behind her and his hand went around her waist as she turned her head to have a peek of him. He just smiled and kissed her eyebrow. When she turned to George he kissed her nose and then smile. Her hands were resting beside her head and George grabbed one and caressed it with his thumb, softly. Fred's thumb also did the same on her waist, raising the thin purple shirt and reaching her belly under it. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly feeling protected as ever. They stayed awake watching over her for a few minutes until the warmth put them into a calm sleep.
