Theo and Katherine wouldn't take their eyes off each other, both utterly repulsed by the idea of them having children together. They were practically having a staredown, almost forgetting the three youngsters, stood between them. Harry looked at the two girls, Lisa's lip trembled.

"Kids why don't we leave mummy and daddy to talk"

"Don't call me that," Theo snapped at him, Harry rolled his eyes guiding the children out of the room.

Once Harry left the room, Katherine and Theo remained in silence, both cringing at the thought of having any sort of relationship together, let alone conceive three children together. Katherine placed a sheet of parchment paper on the table Theo picked it up, reading through it.

"What's this?" he asked

"The children maternal ancestry, they're biologically my children, we- I need you to do a test to see if they're yours-

"And if they are, what do you want me to do, play happy families,"

"No, but it can't be a coincidence that they're here especially with what happened to Pansy-

"You know what happened to her," Theo said, seeming to only care about Pansy.

"If you do the test, I'll tell you what I know," he sighed

"What do I need to do,"

"You don't need to do anything," Katherine pulled out a small pin "I just need a drop of your blood-

"Come near me with that and I swear to Salazar I'll hex you," Theo warned, stepping away from her

"Don't be such a baby," Katherine said, reaching to grab his hand,

"I am not a baby,"

"Fine, then let me prick your finger," Katherine said

She held out her hand, he growled at her, he didn't want to give her the satisfaction of him being a little afraid of needles. He thrust his hand into her, Katherine pricked his finger, letting a drop of blood fall on a piece of parchment paper, the drop of blood absorbed into the parchment.

"What now?" Theo asked, she held her finger up to shush him. Theo looked at the paper which read.

Rebekah Hermione Nott - 24 December 2004
Lisa Ginerva Nott - 14 September 2002
Alexander Theodore Nott - 7 June 2000

Theodore Nott II - 4 October 1979

Theodore Nott I - 12 January 1952 - 2 May 1998
Rebekah Nott nee Avery - 14 May 1953 - 19 September 1984

"They're your children, and you named the youngest after your mother from looks of it," Katherine said, Theo looked at the date of the oldest Alex, June 2000

"Parker, the boy was born in June 2000, so he would've been conceived," he paused counting 9 months back "in September which is-

"Four months away I know," Katherine finished

"So what are we going to do?" Theo asked

"The children are going to stay with me, Harry thinks it's best that it remain between us," Katherine said,

"Well, why can't I have them?" Theo asked

"I know you still see Malfoy and Zabini, I live on my own, I'm usually working so people don't bother me," Katherine told him, Theo sighed a smirk creeping upon his face.

"Why don't we ask the children?" Theo suggested, Katherine folding her arms over her chest, shaking her head, Katherine walked to the door, letting the children back in the room.

"Erm, we're going home mummy and you," Katherine told them

"Is daddy not coming?" Lisa asked

"Did we do something wrong?" Alex asked

"I want daddy to stay!" Bekah stomped her feet,

"No, No he's coming," Katherine blurted out, to stop a temper tantrum that she had never had to deal with before. "Go say goodbye to Harry," she told them, Theo was about to speak.

"Not. A. Word," Katherine warned, "You'll stay at my house, just till we can figure something out," she told him.

The newly formed family walked through the Ministry, Katherine felt as though the whole world was watching them, panicked that someone would see right through there secret. Though in reality not one person even looked their way.

Bekah reached up to hold Theo's hand, he cringed at the unfamiliar feeling, but he had already upset the little girl by not picking her up. Once the family reached the Floo Network, Katherine put '3 Greenfield Street,' into the Floo network for multiple person travel.

At 3 Greenfield Street,

Katherine walked through her fireplace with Lisa and Alex, who looked around as though they were in a foreign place. Katherine waited for Theo and Bekah to walk through the fireplace, she felt as though they were taking forever to get to her house. She let out a sigh of relief as Theo and the smallest girl walked through the fireplace.

"This is where you live," Theo questioned, cringing at the size of her flat, the living room alone, was the size of one of his bathrooms,

"Yes, I just realised we don't have anything for the children, no clothes, I don't even know what they like to eat, if they're allergic to anything,"

"Calm down will you, like you said we'll figure it out," Theo said, stopping her rambling, "What do you know about Pansy?" he asked

"She had a toxin in her blood, I think it caused her to have hallucinations," Theo creased his brows about to speak when he saw Lisa standing next to him

"Why don't you Alex and Rebekah get ready for bed," he told her, she nodded, walking away wondering where the bedroom even was in this strange place.

"You were saying," Theo said

"After you left, she woke up in hysterics, she seemed petrified of something, then right before she passed out she said 'the warrior is coming'" Katherine informed him

"The warrior? Who the fuck is that?" Katherine eyed him, warningly for swearing.

"I don't know, there's something else," Katherine said, Theo waited for her to tell him, "Lisa said, I told them, to tell me to look at their memories,"

"What good is that going to do?"

"I don't know but I arranged to go to Hogwarts to use a pensive that McGonagall has you're welcome to come with me if you want," Katherine told him,

"Yes, I think we both need to know what the hell is going on,"
