Katie Rae
The burrow

Rachel came home on a Sunday, and I'm more then worried about her. Did she see our parents? I sit with Fredrick and Molly drinking tea and I read from a poetry book. I hear Mrs. Weasley get up and I feel Fredrick pull me to him, I smile and he kisses my forehead. Fredrick can be absolutely sweet at times, it's cute.

"What's on your mind, love?" He asks me, I look up at him, and I smile. "I'm just worried about Rachel, she hasn't talked much since she came back from the Manor. I thought about apparating to the Manor and talking to Draco or someone" I tell him, his expression grows soft. "It's whatever you need to do hun" he says, I smile and we walk outside.

I sigh, I'm hoping I can find out whats going on with Rachel and why she is being distant. I feel him grab my hand, I look up at him and smile. "Please be careful" he says, I shrug. "I will be, I promise" I tell him, he kisses me and I apparate.

I instantly see the manor, me instantly regretting my decision on coming here. I just want some answers as to why she's acting weird. I enter the manor, not caring if I should knock or not. I instantly walk into the dining hall, and there finding a meeting between death eaters and I instantly stay back during the whole time. "Who's there" Voldemort asks, I've never heard him before but somehow I knew that was his voice. I appear from the corner, a few murmurs and my parents looking at me.

"I need to speak to Draco" I tell him, he's taken back a bit, his face calms. I don't want to be here, I'm so uncomfortable. Draco follows me up to his room, anxiety still continues to hover over me. Voldemort knows that I'm associated with Harry, and it's his mission to kill Harry. He could use me to find out where Harry is, or even worse. I'm madder then ever. "Why in the hell is Rachel acting weird?" I ask him, he hovers me and I draw my wand out, ready to use it at any given moment. "What are you talking about?" he asks. "Rachel has been acting weird since she came home from here, what happened?" I ask him once again, he looks down. He takes me to his room, and we both sit down on the bed.

"You can't tell anyone, not a soul" he says sternly, I nod my head in agreement and he sighs. "Rachel became a death eater, I don't know why or how but she did" he tells me, tears instantly fill my eyes. Are you serious? Out of the recent events, you think she wouldn't. I start to run out, Draco calling behind me. "Rae, please wait" I hear him call out, but I ignore him. I can't stand to be here anymore, I want to breakdown. It feels like I have no one now except the Weasley's.

As I start to go around the corner, I bump into my parents. I don't say anything, I just stand there. Hate filling every inch of my body as I look at them, I don't know what to say. "You need to hear the truth" My mother says, I roll my eyes. "What truth? About how you lied to Rachel and I for years about being death eaters? And how you turned Rachel into one of you. I never want to speak to you again, and don't act like you've ever cared. This is what you wanted since the moment we were born" I tell them, they don't say anything and I continue to exit the manor.

I apparated back to the Burrow, I wipe my tears and enter the house. I find only Molly sitting in the living room knitting, she's the only mom I have. I look around for everyone, but not finding them. "They went to Diagon Alley dear, did you need anything from there?" She asks me, I smile and join her on the couch. "Oh, no I'm okay. I have plenty of supplies back at the school" I tell her, I look down. "You've been crying. What's wrong?" She asks, I look at her and she wipes one of my tears away. "It's revolving Rachel, I just don't want you looking differently at her or kick her out" I tell her, I'm ashamed but I got myself into this. "Well was is it?" She asks.

"Rachel is a death eater, and somehow my parents convinced her to do it. And seeing my parents is really hard, and I just wish I still had parents. I need a mom" I tell her quietly. She stays quiet for a moment, and I cry harder. Maybe telling her this was a bad idea, she grabs my hand. "I'm not going to kick her out, honey. And I'm always here for you as a mom dear" she tells me, I smile and she pulls me into a hug.

Molly teaches me to knit, and how to make really good tea and how to cook some of the boys favorites meal, specifically Fredrick's. We continue to have a good time and I hear everyone pile back into the house, smiling we both go join everyone at the door. Fredrick hugs me, and kisses my cheek. "How did it go at the manor?" He whispers into my ear, "I'll tell you later" I say to him, he smiles and we eat dinner that we both prepared.

I sit in between Fredrick and Ronald, the three of us making jokes and waiting for Molly to bring it to the table. "Now everyone must eat! Katie Rae and I made this!" Molly announces. She lays a premium cut roast on the table, the smell of butter and herbs filling the air. Along with it are some potatoes and vegetables and fresh baked bread. We all begin to past it around and everyone digs in, everyone drooling at how good the taste is.

"This is amazing, love! And you're lucky, roast is my favorite dinner" he says to me, I smile and continue to eat with him. Rachel doesn't talk the whole time at dinner, and I don't even look at her. How could I? After everything we've been through with the death eaters, and our parents.

After dinner Fredrick and I sneak off to his room, while everyone stays downstairs. He shuts the door and I run up to him, wrapping my arms around him. "What's wrong, Kay" he asks me. I look up at him, and he wipes my eyes and grows more concerned. We move to the bed, and he takes my hands into his. "I found out Rachel is a death eater, and somehow my parents convinced her to" I tell him. Anger grows on his face, then we lock eyes and his expression grows soft.

He wraps his arms around me and I cry harder, how could this happen?
