George walked through his apartment door with his head down.

He walked slowly dropping his sweater on the couch.

Fred rushed through the kitchen, seeing George.

Fred quickly grabbed George, hugging him tightly.

"I was so worried." Fred sighed in relief as he held George tightly.

"I'm okay." George mumbled sadly.

Mila smiled from across the room, walking towards them.

"You're back." Mila spoke, "No luck bringing her back?"

George shook his head, sitting on the couch.

Fred frowned.

"I can't believe she wants to stay there." Mila spoke softly, sitting beside George. "It seemed like such a miserable place."

"She has no choice." George muttered, looking into the nothingness.

"I'm sorry." Mila sighed.

"Now we know that the Malfoy's have been holding her, let's pay Draco Malfoy a little visit." Fred gritted his teeth, walking towards George.

"And do what?" George exhaled deeply, "He's not going to help us."

"It's not like we're going to be asking nicely." Fred straightened his lips. "Just get your stuff ready, we're going."

"Fred..." George began to say,

"You want to get her back don't you?" Fred raised his eyebrow, "Now are you willing to do anything you can to bring her back?"

George gulped.

"You know I am." George mumbled.

Draco smiled as he walked through the Manor.

He looked around everywhere, searching for Katerina.

Draco heard tiny whispers through the halls, causing him to slow down.

"I want the boy!" Bellatrix whispered loudly,

"The Dark Lord wants us to wait. He wants Katerina to be the one to bring him here." Another voice whispered back.

"Tch. That little girl?" Bellatrix scoffed, "Is he that naive?"

"He has high hopes for her."

"She will be the death of us all." Bellatrix pouted, "I'll kill that girl myself if I have to!"

"He'll kill you."

"Not if I bring him Harry Potter as well." Bellatrix chuckled, "We don't need her to win the war."

"I'll bring that boy and then... I'll kill her. Tonight."

Draco's eyes widened. He quickly ran away from the hall, running outside.

"Katerina!" Draco called out.

Draco searched for Katerina throughout the garden.

Draco's eyes softened as he saw Katerina sitting under a statue.

Katerina shivered, holding herself.

Draco walked toward her slowly, kneeling down to her.

"Kat." Draco whispered softly, sitting beside her.

"They found me, Draco." Katerina looked into Draco's eyes, "They came here... and I had to send them away." Katerina's voice broke as she sobbed quietly.
