(Future Theo = Theodore)

2007

"What exactly did she make into a Horcrux?" Theo questioned,

"How do you make a Horcrux?" he added

"It's a very disturbing process, only someone truly wicked could have to stomach to make them," Katherine told him, almost throwing up at the thought,

"The only things we're aware of is that she made five, one of them being her father's wand, another being Narcissa Malfoy's necklace-

"My friends, what happened to them?" Theo questioned, interrupting his future self

"There's only me and Pansy left," Theodore admitted,

"What? She got to them all?"

"Yes, Pansy survived her first attack, she been hiding and running for 8 years," Theodore told him

"Did you managed to save them?" Katherine asked, praying that her book helped he nodded

"That's great, you've already changed the timeline, you need to return your time and put a stop to her," Katherine told him

"How am I suppose to do that, it's almost impossible to find her?" He argued

"We'll admit she's very good at keeping herself hidden, there's a few wizards that have been working with her, I think it would be best if you searched for them first," Theodore told him, Katherine took a piece of paper from her bag, noting down the names.

Amycus Carrow
Alecto Carrow
Rodolphus Lestrange
Rabastan Lestrange
Peter Pettigrew

"Peter Pettigrew is dead, he was found in Knockturn Alley," Theo told them, Katherine scribbled out his name,

"Are you sure this is everyone?" he asked

"Yes, she kept a very tight circle only trusting those who never doubted Voldemort," Theodore told him,

"Alright, I'll go home," he said, Theo stood up, checking he had the book, and the list of people to search for.

Burke Manor, 16th February 2000

Phoebe had taken Katherine to her parents home, she believed that her father and uncle might be able to help Katherine. Amelia explained that she felt an extreme form of dark magic surrounding Bellatrix, the same kind that she felt when her granddaughter Aimee was in possession of Voldemort's Horcrux.

"Mum, can we go home yet?" Bekah asked

"Not yet sweetie, we just have to go see aunt Pheebs mum and dad," Katherine explained, she nodded holding her mother's hand, Lisa and Alex trailed behind them, they were both exhausted they need to rest.

"Mum," she called through the house, "it's Phoebe and Katherine,"

"We're in the Kitchen, sweetheart," her mother called, Phoebe took Katherine down the hall towards their kitchen, Phoebe almost bumped into her uncle.

"Sorry, Pheebs I'm looking for my ring, you haven't seen it have you," Phoebe shook her head "damn it, I've had that since I was a kid,"

"Sorry uncle Reg," he smiled at her, flicking his eyes towards the kitchen, "oh yeah, come on Kat,"

Lisa and Alex settled themselves down in the living room, Bekah wanted to stay with Katherine, she sat her down on her knee. Phoebe's mother offered Bekah some cookies she had made, Bekah greedily ate them, taking two into the living room, for Alex and Lisa.

"How was it at Grammy's did she managed to help you?" Aimee asked, Phoebe nodded,

"I think so, I not entirely sure, according to Grammy, the Warrior is dad's cousin,"

"What? I doubt Cissy or Andy had anything to do with all this-

"No, I mean Bellatrix," Phoebe stated

"Pheebs, that can't be right she died in the Battle at Hogwarts,"

"I know, but Grammy said, she felt the same darkness around her that she felt when mum and uncle Reg had Slytherin's locket," Phoebe told them, her mother turned to Sirius

"You don't think it's possible that she made a Horcrux do you?"

"She's crazy enough to it," he said, knew about Horcrux, she had learned about them, for her healer training, knowing a heavy amount of dark magic, was required for the more severe cases of cursed wizards who may have been admitted to St. Mungos.

"What kind of things would she had turned into a Horcrux?" Katherine asked

"Bella, always saw the Black family as royalty amongst wizards, stupid of her, to believe we're better than everyone else, the Black family has many priceless heirlooms passed down through the generations, I would imagine she'd use them," Sirius explained.

"Do you have any that we could check?" Katherine asked

"No, I was disowned by my family, I didn't inherit anything other than Grimmauld Place..." he trailed off, taking a moment to think, his wife held his hand.

"Reg's ring is missing?" he questioned, "he never takes it off,"

"Could that be one?" Phoebe asked he shrugged his shoulders

"I suppose, it could be, no use contacting Dromeda, she wouldn't have anything like that, Cissy might though," he said, Katherine thanked him, she just hoped that they could figure out how to destroy them.

"What will you do now?" Phoebe asked, Katherine shook her head unsure.

"I guess, go and talk to the Malfoy-

"Yay, we get to see uncle Draco," Lisa said, as the children hurried into the kitchen, Katherine smiled though her smile quickly fell, she didn't want to be alone in Malfoy Manor without Theo. She feared they would treat her differently if he wasn't there.

"Katherine," Phoebe's mother gestured for her to follow her into another room,

"Narcissa isn't as scary as she makes people think she is, she's actually really nice,"

"I'm sorry I just can't picture any of the Malfoy's being nice," Katherine said

"Lucius, he has a look about him, that makes him a little unapproachable, but once he's had a couple of drinks he's the life at a party,"

"You knew them personally?"

"Yes, I was in Slytherin House with them, and I partially helped them get together," Aimee told her,

"I suppose people can be different to what they seem, Theo certainly is different to how I always saw him," Katherine said, Aimee embraced her as she saw her eyes welling up

"I miss him, I don't even know if he's safe," she mumbled into Aimee's shoulder,

"Shh, it'll be alright, he'll be home before you know it,"
