Seventeen
"Callie?" Fred broke the silence, startling everyone. Fred stood up and reached for her, before remembering that he could not touch her. "Callie are you okay? Where are you?"
"I'm okay," she assured him, "they've cast Silencio so I can't get out, but other than that I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" Fred asked, "where are you?"
"I'm not going to tell you that," said Calliope.
"Why in Merlin's name not?" Fred demanded.
"Because if I tell you then you're going to come and get me and I can't risk them getting you too," said Calliope, "if they get you then they'll use you to make me talk. Voldemort can't know what I know."
"What do you know?"
"Everything."
"Is she okay?" Natalie demanded. Calliope turned to look at Natalie.
"She says she is," said Fred, "but she won't tell me where she is?"
"Why?" Remus asked.
"She doesn't want us getting hurt trying to save her."
"Calliope, we all want to get you back. Tell us where you are," Fred pleaded.
Calliope fixed him with a stare, "Fred I-", then she was gone.
"What's she saying?" Natalie demanded.
"She's gone."
********
Voldemort crouched down in front of Calliope who spat at him again. He wiped the spit from his face and seethed at her. "Banshee you have one chance to answer all of my questions before your guardian is involved. Wormtail!" Peter Pettigrew scurried up behind him and handed Voldemort a quill and parchment. Voldemort shoved this towards her. "Are you going to do as I ask?"
Calliope made a rude gesture at Voldemort.
********
"What if he's torturing her?" Natalie asked, "what if the reason she left is because Voldemort is torturing her and she needs us to go and save her. But she didn't tell us where she is so we can't go and save her, so now she's stuck being tortured-"
"She's not being tortured," said Fred, "if she was being tortured I would not be having a rational conversation with you all right now, but she is pissed."
"Only Callie would be pissed off at a time like this," George rolled his eyes.
"Let's leave Bill to recover," suggested Sirius, "why don't we all head home, it's been a long day and we all need to take a step back so that we can work out how to get Calliope back."
Fred shot his mother a look. She was sat at the side of Bill's bed, running her fingers through his hair. Ron, Ginny and Fleur were around the bed too. Tonks and Remus had left the room together, but Remus assured them that he would be back.
"Yes let's go and find Callie," said Fred. He, Natalie, George and Sirius began to make their way out of the castle.
None of them spoke. As they neared the gates, Fred felt a sudden spike in Calliope's anxiety. Sirius waved his wand and the gates opened. Natalie and George were slightly ahead of Sirius and Fred
"Fred!" Fred stopped and turned to see Calliope stood behind him.
"Callie?"
"Fred whatever you do, do not step out of those gates, as soon as you do the death eaters are going to take you."
Fred turned to look at Natalie and George, "don't walk any further-" he was cut off by Natalie screaming and the crack that signalled apparition. George and Natalie were gone.
Fun Fact:
Natalie's name was initially Natalia.
