!1997: 12, !incomplete, alicia spinnet, fred weasley, george weasley, katie bell

Who: Katie Bell, Alicia Spinnet, Gred and Forge Weasley.
When: Tonightish?
Where: Starting at the girls' flat → WWW → Katie's parents.
What: Checking up on Katie's parents.
Rating: PG-13? Ongoing. Katie does, on occasion, like to curse.
Open/Closed: Open to just them. Unless we want some DEs to crash the party for more dramaz?

Katie was worried. She couldn't help it. She knew she was probably jumping the gun a little, but this was her parents and given everything that was going on, it seemed like a time to be a little extra paranoid.

It was probably a good thing Ali had insisted on accompanying her to check on them. Fred and George, too. Katie was just worried and stupid enough to go on her own, otherwise, and there was no telling what kind of trouble that could lead to. Besides, having her best friends along if she found anything would probably be a good thing.

She was standing in the living room, giving herself a silent pep talk as she waited for Ali so they could apparate to the twins' shop together. Safety in numbers, right? She was a little too stubborn and independent to admit it to herself, but she needed someone holding her hand through this, no matter what they found when they got there.

Right then she was insanely glad that none of them brought it up; she understood where they came from, she got it but it didn't mean they were right to worry but then again she was glad they did worry, it just showed they cared.

There was no point in arguing so she didn't even bother, it didn't matter where she was so long as she was there and so long as they were altogether. Alicia checked that she had her want in easy reaching distance, just in case, before apparating to the chosen spot right beside Fred and Katie. Eyes quickly scanning the surrounding areas just in case.

George flipped Fred two fingers as his twin vanished. He'd stopped being mad about the One Rule bit ages ago, but that didn't mean he didn't still harp on it constantly. He wouldn't be George if he wasn't mellodramatic about stupid shite sometimes. Or most of the time.

He waited for the others to pop away, and then apparated in, ending up a few feet from Alicia and then crowding in close to the others, wand out just in case.

He didn't immediately see anything, looking around and then nodding to Katie. "All right, well lead the way, Katie."

This was ridiculous, tramping after one of their best friends to make sure her parents hadn't been murdered... If there was any justice in the current set of things, Percy would have to do this every bloody night until he figured out the right side of things.

Fred fell to the other side of the group than George did, so that they took up the flanks, and kept his wand out too. "They're probably fine," He said to Katie, as they started walking.

Right, then. Here they were. Everything in the village seemed perfectly normal and Katie tried to be comforted by that fact, though her wand was out in front of her, regardless, ready should anything happen.

She nodded again at Fred's reassurance, still mentally steeling herself for whatever they might find as they began the trek from the outskirts of the village to the home Katie had grown up in.

It was dark when they arrived and after a quick inspection of the grounds, Katie performed the needed charms to unlock the front door before quietly leading the others inside.

"Mum? Dad?" she called out, a quick Lumos lighting the way in front of her. Nothing. There was no sign of a struggle, but there was no sign of them, either. She wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing.

Without thought Alicia took up her place beside Katie and she tried not to worry; they'd be fine, they'd get there and they'd find John and Elizabeth sat in front of the TV having a cuppa. She kept telling herself that over and over again, a mantra which kept her steady as they made their way through the village she knew so well.

Alicia added her own Lumos spell, adding to the light as they entered the house and there was silence ringing around them. "Maybe they're in bed?" she suggested softly, hope ringing loudly in her words as she glanced towards Katie. "Mr and Mrs Bell?" Alicia called softly as she moved into the living room to find it empty, not at all filled with the noise of the TV and smell of tea or coffee and the bustle of a home.

(I'll go for both twins for a bit until George can jump back in.)

The house was too quiet, and the boys made sure they were first and last in, but even coming in and letting the door close, it was like being wrapped up in quiet and not being able to breathe.

Fred hated it.

He moved with the girls into the front room, looking around. It looked like no one had been here in a while, but nothing looked like it had been torn apart, either. He figured that was a good sign.

It was so quiet. Katie tried to focus on how normal everything looked, otherwise. No signs of a struggle. No signs that someone had cleaned up a little too much, not that she really thought that was the DEs style. It was as though they had just gone on holiday and forgotten to leave word.

Slowly, she moved about the premises, looking for something, anything that would give her another clue. Finally, she let out a sigh.

"They're not here," she said quietly to no one in particular. It was better than some of the alternative scenarios that had flashed through her mind, but it would have been so much more comforting to find them sitting there having their tea or something.

"Maybe they've gone somewhere safe," Alicia suggested, hating that she had no idea how to comfort her friend. What did you say in times like this? There was no way she could comfort her friend, make her feel better when her family simply wasn't here and they had no idea where they were.

"It doesn't look like anything has happened though," she offered, worry in her eyes for the Bells. She hoped they were safe and fine, that they were just in hiding but she didn't know for sure. There were no struggles though, nothing that looked like they were in a fight.

	"We'll check the rest of the house," Fred offered, but he thought Alicia was right - no one was here. Whether they'd gone somewhere safe or not, at least it was a good sign that it didn't look like anything had been disturbed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Katie nodded, moving on her own to make her way through the house, though she knew that Ali had spent enough time here to know it almost as well as she did.

It was empty, though, just as they'd already figured out and she shook her head after a few moments.

"They're not here," she repeated, hoping that Ali was right, that they'd gone someplace safe and were perfectly alright.
