The next day the three got ready to meet their rival. Daphne skips down the stairs and sees the three getting ready to leave.

"When will you be back?" I said as I stopped on the middle of the stairs, looking at them. Katherine opened her arms, making me hug her.

"Not too long."

"If we dont get back within 3 hours, leave, dont look back." My father said, my heart started to beat faster. I got scared. Katherine snaps her head at him.

"What he means is that we wont be there more than 3 hours." She smiles. "Dont scare her." Katherine moves my messy hair to the back, I wasn't caring about my hair as much, i didnt put the effort anymore, why would I? "What are you going to do when we're gone?"

"Stay in my room, like I dont exist." Lucas chuckles.

"Dont you have friends?"

"Draco and Blaise cant come here, its too risky." My father said to him.

"But they dont know about Li-"

"We have to go." My father cuts her off.

"Just be careful." I nodded my head. Lucas waved, while Katherine kisses my head. "Father." I called out. "Please?" He nods his head and closes the door. I stood alone in the room, now counting down when they will be home again.

The three walked up to the mossy castle that belonged to them. Lucas opens the door and the castle looks so dark, so empty.

"Come out Fiona, we're here." Lucas calls for her. The three stood in a line, waiting. Severus' eyes looked up as he saw the mother of his daughter coming down the stairs.

"Brother." Fiona smiles wickedly. "Little sister, Severus."

"That dress doesn't belong to you." Katherine growls as she saw her older sister wearing a dress that once belonged to their mother.

"Why not?"

"You killed her, in this home." She walked up to her but Lucas pulls her back.

"I found it in the back of her dresser, mother always had her dark side." She fixes the dress. It was old, Victorian, black with lace. "Even though she tried to hide it."

"Why are we here?" Severus snarls.

"How is she?" Fiona changes the subject. She walked around them, eyeing every one of them. "Fine." She claps her hands.

"Shes away." She tsk.

"See Severus, you can't lie to me." She stops walking. "I know she's in that disgusting little house of yours." Everyone nearly choked on air. "What? You actually believed that I took your word that you sold your home back then? Im not stupid." She laughs. "I mean she cant be here because of me, she cant be in France because of you two." She pointed at Severus and Lucas. "And well, I thought to myself, shes in London."

"You wont get to her." Katherine tells her. Fiona snaps at her.

"No I will. Probably not today, nor the next. But I will." She sits down on the couch. "So, how is she? My dearest Daphne?" Nobody said anything again. Fiona groans, throwing her head back. "Come on!"

"Don't waste our time."

"Sorry, but where are my manners? I haven't seen you two in a long time." She looks at Severus and Katherine. "Katherine, hows Sirius, oh wait. He died. Poor puppy." Katherines nose twitched, Lucas holding her back again. "Lucas, still hear the voices? Regulus' right? Your one and only-"
