A woman with strawberry blonde hair and gray eyes stood in the snow staring at the tombstone of Sirius Black, Catelyn had visited late last night but the flowers were already frozen, she remembered the promise she had made, although she was in hiding and bidding her time she was restless with each passing second. She cast a cautious glance around and started walking back towards the road. Muggle world was affected by Voldemort too.. she could feel the cold gloom of the lurking dementors, the muggles were disappearing fast. Strange occurrences were more frequent, it wouldnt be long before they would put two and two together and figure it out, she passed a death eater in disguise, the wand in her jacket felt heavier but she just wanted to get home she had arrenged a meeting with Albus and her polyjuice potion's effects would start wearing off in 30 minutes and she couldn't risk another public duel. She hurried on then took a cab back home. Most of the wizards and witches now lived disguised as muggles with as little magic as possible. The times had changed, it was tougher to live now, and it would get tougher still. The wait was over they had to take an action now. Their time for waiting was up. She would discuss this with Albus and Kingsley and they would take a step, enough waiting....... it was time for action... for desparate measures.

Catelyn stepped inside the ruined cave, she could already hear voices she had arrived late. Her footsteps echoed as she went further in, until she saw a small door, she did the secret knock and a small flap moved and a face popped at the door "Molly" the two women smiled at each other and the door opened. As soon as she stepped in she was strangled in a hug by Fred and George her two bestest friends, the three of them had been inseparable since first year, but the circumstances had separated them. She smiled and greeted them all and finally turned to Dumbledore he looked weaker more old. The duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore a year back had made him weaker.
