Disclaimer: I do not own any of the people (Dumbledore, Snape, Voldemort, etc), places (Hogwarts, etc), other keywords (Occlumency, etc.), and text ("") that belong to the wonderful world of Harry Potter, as they belong to J.K. Rowling. I am writing this story to entertain myself (and hopefully others) and make no money from it. The OC (Katherine) is entirely my own.

Chapter 6: Cursed Jewels
The rest of September and October passed uneventful, and Katherine noted that during each sixth year double potions, no one assisted Potter in any of his potion assignments. He had bought his own textbook, potion kit and scales within the first week and returned the other textbook to her. On the 2nd of November, the students flooded into Hogsmeade for their first outing of the year.
Katherine was leaving the Great Hall after breakfast and caught Severus heading for the dungeons.
"Severus?" she spoke in a soft yet demanding voice. He stopped and turned towards her with raised brows. "I'm working on a new potion that I wish to discuss with you. I was wondering if I could come by your office later?"
"Of course," Severus nodded, "how about three?"
"That would be fine." Katherine nodded in response then headed for her quarters.

Just minutes before three in the afternoon, Katherine stood at Severus' office door and knocked.
"Enter," Severus' voice echoed from beyond the heavy oak door. Katherine opened the door and stepped inside. "Ah, Katherine…so your working on a new potion?" She walked over to the chair in front of his desk and sat down.
"Yes, um, it's has to do with…" she began, but interrupted by a loud knock at the door. Severus rolled his eyes and looked apologetically toward Katherine.
"Enter," he shouted with much annoyance. The door burst open with a frightful looking McGonagall tearing into the office.
"Severus, come quick," Minerva's voice trembled, "Miss Bell has been in contact with a cursed object and Albus is out of the castle." Both Severus and Katherine rose from their chairs and began to follow Minerva out the door.
"What were the visual effects on the girl?" Severus asked McGonagall as they reached the stairs.
"There are no physical signs of injury, but she is indeed in very serious pain," McGonagall explained as she began ascended the stairs. Severus stopped and grabbed Katherine by the arm.
"Katherine, do you have any Calming Draught and Dreamless Sleep potions prepared?" the serious look in his eyes told her what he wanted of her.
"Yes, of course, I'll meet you in the Infirmary," she turned and headed back towards her quarters. Severus turned quickly on his heel and proceeded to follow Minerva towards the hospital wing.

"Severus? Katherine?" McGonagall was standing in front of her desk surrounded by Harry, Ron and Hermione. "How is Miss Bell?
"We have done all we can here," Severus stated as he moved towards Minerva's desk.
"We tested her, and gave her a Calming Draught and Dreamless Sleep Potion," Katherine followed Severus, holding the two empty bottles in her hand. "Poppy has already taken her to St. Mungo's. She should recover."
The three professors gathered around McGonagall's desk and with a levitation charm, Severus rose the cursed opal necklace into mid-air.
"What do you think, Severus?" Minerva asked while examining the object.
"I think Miss Bell is lucky to be alive," Severus said while still levitating the necklace in front of them.
"I think that the amount of flesh that came into contact with the necklace was the factor," Katherine stated as she stared at the necklace. "If that small amount of contact did this, what would have happened if the girl would have handled it with an entirely exposed hand?"
"Death, I believe," Severus turned to look Katherine in the eye. "She wouldn't have even made it to the hospital wing."
"She was cursed wasn't she?" Harry asked from behind the professors. "I know Katie, she wouldn't hurt a fly."
"Yes Mr. Potter," McGonagall turned to face the three students. "She was cursed."
"But by who is the question." Katherine stated as she continued to examine the necklace.
"It was Malfoy," Harry said forcefully. Severus and Katherine both turned to look at Harry behind them.
"That is a very serious accusation, Potter." McGonagall told the boy as she looked at him with concern.
"Indeed. Your evidence?" Severus asked him coldly.
"I just know." Harry stated stiffly. Katherine rolled her eyes and snorted at the accusation.
"You... just... know. Once again, you astound me with your gifts, Potter. How grand it must be to be the Chosen One." Severus said venomously.
"For you information, Mr. Potter," Katherine, arms folded, walked up to Harry to look him in the eye. "Mr. Malfoy has not been to Hogsmeade today. I have seen him several times, at various hours, around the school today. Plus, he had detention with me earlier this morning." Her cold voice made the three student step back her with nervous looks on their faces.
"I suggest that you three return to your common room, at once," McGonagall told her students, then watched them turn and leave her office.

"What would make Potter accuse Draco of such a thing?" Katherine asked as she sat in one of Severus' office chairs with an open book in her hands. Severus sat at his desk, grading papers, hardly even acknowledging her presences.
"Severus?" she said slowly, but still no answer.
"SEV." she said angrily, snapping the book shut. He still had his nose planted in the students' papers in front of him, completely ignoring her. "You know what's going on, don't you." His eyes remained fixed on his desk, not muttering a word.
"I don't believe you. We've been friends for TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS, and yet you still keep things from me." She was getting furious by this point. Katherine rose from her chair and swiftly made her way to the back of his desk; spinning his chair around hard to face her. Only with that did he look up at her with impassive face, as she planted her hands on the armrest of the desk chair so he couldn't escape.
"Oh bloody hell, Severus, break down that wall and let me in," she said as she tried to apply Legilimency. "Sev." Her voice became dangerous yet almost pleading, but he did not let his barriers break. On the other hand, he almost didn't have to. She stepped back from him and a smirk enticed her face.
"The Dark Lord has bestowed a mission for Draco, hasn't he," her question came as more of a statement. "I assume he has been branded then. So, who is he attempting to off?" Severus knew, in the back of his mind, that she knew the answer to her own question. She always had a impeccable way of reading one's face, even if she couldn't penetrate the mind.
"Oh please, Severus. I really don't enjoy this one way conversation." She sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose; closing her eyes.
"Katherine," his voice was cautiously low. "Look at me." She looked up and glazed into his obsidian eyes. The rush of the moment made her gasp as she saw the events of the summer pass before her eyes.
Katherine saw him talking with the Dark Lord about the up-and-coming plans for young Malfoy; him taking the Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa at his home at Spinner's End; and finally as he cornered Draco in a corridor trying to offer the boy assistance. She withdrew from his mind and raised an eyebrow towards him.
"What?" He was giving her the same questionable look.
"Does the Dark Lord really believe that Draco can perform such a task?" She folded her arms, as her mind slipped towards Narcissa Malfoy nee Black, whom she had always viewed as an older sister to her back in her younger days.
"No," Severus sighed at leaned back in his chair. "I believe the Dark Lord expects him to fail. I think it will be severance for Lucius' failure at the Ministry, if he can punish Draco indefinitely."
"Do you know when the Dark Lord plans to summon the group again?" Katherine asked, biting her bottom lip, in high hopes that he knew.
Severus shook his head, "No. We have not had a full group summons in months. Why?" He looked up at her wondering what she was up to.
"Because…" she started then a flicker of a smile graced her face, "…when he does call. I will return to him and offer my services once again."
