Stay With Me | Draco Malfoy [2]

Chapter 3 - Rescued

Italics is dream

TW: Very slight swearing, slight mentions of death

Katianne's POV

"Avada kedavra!" Peter Pettigrew shouted out, a flash of green light shooting out of his wand, which was aimed at none other than Cedric Diggory, the love of my life. The first person I have ever loved. He dropped to the ground, his once bright grey eyes, lifelessly staring into the distance as I stood by, helplessly watching, anger clouding my mind.

In an instance, he flashed into my mind. Voldemort.

My breaths were heavy as my blue eyes snapped open. I looked over to Harry, who was still sound asleep. I laid on the bed for a small while, trying to steady my breathing, hopefully not waking up my brother in the process, though footsteps were suddenly heard, fear rushing through my veins.

I could hear my heartbeat picking up its speed, worry being the only thing I could feel. I quickly sat up, glancing over at the door. The whole room was dark, the only light being the moon that shone through the window. Though, I could still make out the key turning itself through the keyhole.

I stood up, grabbing my wand from the bedside table. The key fell out. BOOM! The door slammed open, a blinding white light being the first thing I saw, which flashed away in an instant.

"Very clean, these muggles." An unfamiliar, feminine voice spoke.

"Tonks, for God's sake!" A deeper, raspier voice, growled.

"Unnatural." The same, female voice from before uttered out.

I could see Harry sit up from the corner of my eye, squinting his eyes at the sudden brightness. He groggily grabbed his round glasses from the bedside table. A woman, who I assumed was the unfamiliar feminine voice, with purple hair, walked in slightly, the tip of her wand bright, probably from the wand-lighting charm, allowing me to see everyone who was behind her.

The raven haired boy slowly stood up to come stand next to me. "Professor Moody." He gasped out, as I steadily lowered my wand. "What are you doing here?" Harry then asked. "Rescuing you two, of course."

Time skip

After quite an... interesting journey, shall I say, we finally arrived at this muggle building. Also, I recently learnt that the 'feminine voice' with purple hair is actually a witch called Nymphadora Tonks, who can apparently change her hair color, but she doesn't like to be called 'Nymphadora', so I better keep that in mind.

Mad-eye Moody, the real one this time, tapped the ground with his cane three times, before the floor started to rumble and shake. Jingling bells could be heard before the left part of the muggle building started sliding outwards, revealing almost like a hidden part of the building. Harry and I stared in shock, amazement in our eyes. "In you go." Moody then said, leading to us doing just that.

No one's POV

The twins cautiously walked in. After arriving at a dark, eerie hallway, sounds of other people talking could be made out.

"There've been no sightings. No deaths. No proof."

"He almost killed the Potter twins. If that isn't proof enough-"

"Yes, but guarding 'you know what' is the most important."

Alastor Moody abruptly came out from behind them, followed by the people who 'rescued' the twins earlier.

"We must trust Dumbledore on this."

"Was he able to protect them last year?"

"Well tonight, I say it's time to take action."

Tonks winked at Harry and Katianne, quickly catching up with the other three, though tripping on something before actually walking into the room.

"Cornelius Fudge is a politician first and a wizard second."

"His instinct would be to ignore it-"

"Keep your voices down!"

The Potter twins slowly, subconsciously, walked closer to the door, wanting to hear more clearly what they were talking about.

"He's getting stronger and stronger by the minute!"

"We have to act now!"

Sirius Black, their godfather, was the first to notice them. Soon followed by Arthur Weasley. Then Remus Lupin. Both twins had small smiles growing on their faces at the sight of these familiar faces. Faces of people they would consider father figures. Though, they got covered up when Molly Weasley came to the doorway.

"Katianne." The Weasley woman beamed, a joyful grin on her face. She closed the door of the room, blocking out anymore talking they were doing. "Mrs. Weasley." The blonde breathed out, sounding surprised that she didn't call on her brother first. "Heavens, you're alright." The redhead woman chuckled before pulling her into a warm embrace, which Katianne awkwardly hugged back to.

After she pulled away, Mrs. Weasley cupped the blonde face with both of her hands, staring straight into her eyes. "Bit peaky, but I'm afraid dinner will have to wait until after the meeting's finished." The redhead woman declared. "About that-" Harry started saying, but was cut off. "Nope. No time to explain." Mrs. Weasley started saying, shifting her gaze to look at the green eyed boy.

"Straight upstairs, first door on the left." With that said, she ushered the Potter twins away. "It's almost as if I'm not here." The raven haired boy complained in a hushed tone after they were far enough away from the redhead woman so that she wouldn't hear him. The Potter girl playfully smacked his right arm before saying, "Well you're not the one getting expelled, are you?"

They both snickered from other conversations they had on the way up, though were interrupted when a house-elf came into view. Their smiles dropped, taking sight of the grumpy elf, who they will later learn is called 'Kreacher', who, like most other house elves, despises muggle-borns and well, muggles in general.

"Open the door." Harry stated after they arrived at the place. "No, you open it." Katianne argued. "Absolutely not, what if something pops out?" The Potter boy worriedly quizzed. "More of a reason for you to open it." The blonde then argued. After realising that his twin's stubborn-*ss was not going to lose the argument, he sighed and slowly opened the door for the both of them.
