Grudges

Chapter 36

A/N This chapter is still a little in the honeymoon phase of the last chapter. That won't stay for long *evil laughter*

The wedding soon turned to chaos, the first thought in Victoria's head was 'I told you so.' The second was to find Harry, Skye and the twins left her a the first sign of danger so she had to find someone else to stick with. She saw Harry in a group with Hermione and Ron, as always, and rushed toward them.

"Where are you going?" A Death Eater appeared in front of her, a laugh echoing around the mask he was wearing.

"Oh c'mon now. If you were so brave to become a Death Eater why are you such a coward when showing your face? You'd think you have a little pride in being evil?" Victoria taunted, her hand going to her wand as she did so.

"Brave words coming from a little girl." The Death Eater growled.

"You wanna hear some more? Reducto!" She pointed her wand at the man and blasted him backwards, he knocked into another Death Eater and they both fell, not to get up again. She shot a few more spells at other Death Eaters and she ran towards Harry who looked up at her as they were presumably about to apparate away. He reached his hand out and she copied him, barely grasping onto his hand as the 4 of them disappeared into thin air.

As they re appeared Victoria leaned against a light pole as she tried to catch her breath "Damn. Thought it would be a little less nauseating honestly." She quickly noticed they were in a large city, muggles bustling all around them.

"Why is she here?" Hermione yelled at Harry.

"Because I trust her! Now come on, we have to get out of the open." They all quickly travelled into a small diner and took a seat at a booth.

"I don't trust her."

"I'm right here you know."

"Well I do so she's staying with us."

"Once again right here."

"I agree with Hermione I don't trust her one bit." Victoria rolled her eyes.

"Sitting right next to you guys."

"You guys are being ridiculous."

"Honestly guys-"

"Can I take your orders?" The waitress interrupted, a pen a paper out.

"Just water please." Hermione said.

"I'll have a cheeseburger and with extra fries." Ron's stomach growled as he ordered.

"Same as him please." Harry's stomach growled as well.

"I'll have the best soup you got and a water." Victoria ordered. The waitress nodded and walked away, nodding at the 4 men in the booth next to them.

"Hey guys...?"

"I still don't trust her Harry!"

"Guys."

"Me either! I say we kick her to the curb!"

"Guys!" Victoria yelled, attracting the attention of the arguing trio "They look suspicious to you or is that just me?" Suddenly the 4 men stood up and started casting curses towards the teens. "Shit!" Victoria jumped to the side and hid behind a chair, casting curses whenever the Death Eaters weren't. As the 4 Death Eaters went down the diner soon became in shambles, holes in the booths and shattered glass everywhere. 4 unconcious grown men scattered across the floor.

"We've gotta get out of here!" Hermione quickly grabbed onto Ron and Harry, ready to apparate out of there. Before she left she let go of them and walked over to the waitress, bending down and casting a spell "Alright let's go." Harry grabbed onto Victoria's hand tightly as they apparate, afraid somehow she would get left behind. As they appeared Victoria lost her balance and fell to her knees, before she could get up a wand was pressed harshly against her neck.

"You move one muscle and I will hex you." Hermione growled from behind her, digging her wand into the skin of Victoria's neck painfully.

"Hermione! Let her go!" Harry shouted, pulling Hermione away from Victoria.

"No it's fine Harry. She thinks i'm a Death Eater, she's wrong. But she can believe what she wants. Doesn't mean i'm leaving." Victoria said light heartily as she stood and brushed the leaves off her dress and cardigan.

"Show me your wrist Victoria." Hermione once again rose her wand to Victoria, who in turn looked around and saw Ron. He was on the ground in pain, blood covering his hand.

"Honestly you should probably care a little less about me and a little more about the boyfriend you splinched. Probably should take care of that." Victoria pointed to the grounded Ron. Hermione gasped and rushed to his side, quickly reaching into her bag and dug around before pulling out a first aid kit and started tending to Ron's wound.

"You should just show her and get this argument over with." Harry said to her as they started spelling the area they were in to keep intruders away.

"Where's the fun in that? It's not like she's suddenly going to trust me because I don't have the dark mark. She'll find another reason to hate me Harry, i'd rather her not pick me apart to find it." Victoria explained.

"She thinks you're evil Victoria. At least show her you're not."

"I will, but i'll show her when I fight on the good side. Like i've been doing all along."

Overtime they made their camp a little nicer, they all passed around the horcrux until Ron got too much dosage of it. He went a little crazy in Victoria's opinion and he left only to come back week later and destroy the horcrux with a sword he found in the bottom of a lake? Victoria didn't really understand, but she was glad the horcrux was destroyed. Only 3 more to go.
