*There was a sad look in her eyes. She breathed deeply, wanting to have one final conversation with her friend before she does what she came to do. She forced a smile and went to hug her friend*
Hey Katie. How are ya?

*Hugged Venus back, frowning slightly at her friend's expression. Suddenly she wonders if her and Zero had gotten into a fight lately*
I'm good. 'Bout you, V? You look like me when Quidditch practice was cancelled because of the Slytherins!
*Tilts her head, leaning against a nearby display*

Im fine. My wonderful fiancee and I are fine. However...There is something bothering me. We've been friends for a while right Katie? Have I told you what I do at the ministry?
*she looked around the shop, her knee's becoming weak. She grabbed hold of the nearest display to keep hersefl from falling.*

*Furrows her eyebrows, thinking over past conversations. She shakes her head*
No...I don't think you did-
*Pauses, not understanding Venus' behavior*
-,,,why?

*sighs*
Katie. Im an Auror. But as of late I've taken on another job. I shouldn't be telling you this, but I think you have a right to know...before I go and mess this up.
*She placed a hand on her friends shoulder, looking her in the eyes.*
Im taking on an under cover job. This means...Im going to be training to become a death eater. Im doing this so we can get more information on the Dark Lord. It was my idea...mainly because Im...well different.
*She wiped the silent tears falling down her cheeks. Closing her eyes she started to change form. Her hair darkened, and her facial features changed.*
I'm a well...metamorphmagi. I have to become a different person. And my new person...has never met Katie Bell...
*the tears fell. This was the part she hated, having to cut her ties with her friends*

*Eyes widen, her heart stops at the thought of Venus as a Death Eater*
What? You're mad!
*Shocked, she doesn't know what to do in response to Venus' change besides take two steps back*
Merlin...
*Her chest constricts as her friend's last words sink in. She doesn't believe it*
N-never...never met-
*Inhales deeply*
-You're saying...what are you saying?!
*Almost hits the floor in shock*

Thats what everyone keeps telling me.
*Wipes her eyes, struggling to speak*
But its the only way to help keep you safe. Katie...You must forgive me. Its not what I want. Believe me. I don't want this at all. But if Somehow... they start to doubt me...and you get caught up in it, you could get hurt. I...have to do this.
*she took her wand from inside her cloak.*
When this is over...if I survive...I'll come find you. I'll put this right.

*Shakes her head, tears beginning to fall*
No, V...
*Fights back a sob, both for whatever Venus will be forced to go through and for the friend she's going to lose*
You don't...you...
*Swallows*
Don't take it all on your shoulders alone...
*Eyes widen, seeing Venus pull out her wand. She moves one foot behind her, wishing her wouldn't have left hers on the desk in the back*
What...
Venus, what are you doing?

I can't have you hurt. And I wont be alone my friend. But Venus Ravenheart, must make new friends...different friends. I wish it didn't have to come to this.
*She raised her wand, her eyes blurred by tears.*
Katie, you must forget me. You must forget I existed. At least for now.

*Chokes on a frightened scream- memories from her 7th year rushing back*
She's been cursed!
I don't know who did it...
No! I won't!
*Not believing what's happening, she turns on her heel, getting ready to Disapparate*

Katie...Im sorry. Theres no other way.
*She raised her wand ready to wipe Katie's memory.*
You have to forget me. Its the only way to keep you safe. Good bye my friend.

*Disapparates with a crack*
*A few seconds later, she Apparates louder than she wanted to inside the back room, snatching her wand up from the desk*
I won't...she can't do this, she's going to get herself killed!

*her eyes go wide seeing Katie disapperate.*
Katie...come now...be reasonable. Its my job. I have to do this. Your my good friend. I dont want to do this, but I need to keep you safe. Its the whole reason for this mission!
*Looks around for a moment, hearing someone apperating into the back room. She closes her eyes, wiping the tears from them.*
Please don't make this harder than it already is.

*Something inside her snaps at her friend's comment*
Be REASONABLE?! By the Gods, you have gone mad if you think I'm the one who needs to be reasonable about this!
*Narrows her eyes, debating on Apparating back into the main part of the shop or staying where she is*
*Shouts, her voice breaking from the emotion*
If you think this is hard for you- just- I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! Trying to make me forget, how could you?!

I don't want you to forget everything...just me.
*her knees finally gave out and she collapsed to the floor, her wand falling from her hand.*
In reality...I don't want you to forget me. I just want to protect you in case something happens to me and they come after my friends. Seems everyone is right...Im just a fool.
*she pushed her wand away from her bringing her knees to her chest. she began to rock back and forth slowly.*
