Chapter 05

25 May 1999, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Two weeks had passed and Theo hadn't spoken to Katherine since they visited Hogwarts though she had sent him a letter, being the first time she had ever written a letter to him. But it wasn't for her, the children mostly Bekah wouldn't stop asking why their dad wasn't coming home.

To save the children from any further stress she pleaded that he come over for dinner, so he could spend time with them. Katherine had come back to Hogwarts to take a look at some more memories she had mentioned to Theo in her letter that she would be doing this and hoped he'd look at them with her.

Katherine waited a little while longer, in case he did decide to show up. The odds of that were slim he hadn't responded to her about dinner. What were the odds of him showing up for this? She was just about to tip the vial into the pensive when Theo showed up.

"I didn't think you were coming," Katherine said,

"We need to find out more, we can't just go on the warrior is after death eaters," Theo said, Katherine nodded pouring the vial into the pensive

{Memory No.3}

30 May 1999, Knockturn Alley

Knockturn Alley was like a ghost town, people weren't stupid enough to hang out at Knockturn Alley anymore. A hooded figure walked through the alley, constantly looking behind them. Theo and Katherine followed them, to see where they were going they walked to a pub in Knockturn Alley.

"I'm looking for this person," the hooded figure asked, showing the bartender a photo. Katherine looked at the photo

"It's you he's looking for," Katherine whispered to him, Theo saw the date on a Daily Prophet

"I saw him go that way," the bartender said, pointing down the alley.

The hooded figure walked out of the pub, he was knocked by someone walking past him, knocking his hood down. Katherine recognised him.

Katherine and Theo were pulled out of the pensive, they were gathering their thoughts, Katherine tried to remember the name of the hooded figure, she knew him. Theo wondered what could have happened in the next five days what could cause all this.

"Parker, did you see the date?"

"Yeah, that's this Friday," she said "I know that person, his name ugh it's going to bug me," Katherine said, Theo tried to figure out who the boy was they did both go to school with him.

"Burke! Max Burke," Katherine blurted, "that's his name,"

"Wasn't he in Gryffindor?" Theo questioned, Katherine nodded

"We need to find him, before Friday," Theo agreed with her, Katherine walked to the door,

"Katherine," Theo said, halting her stride she turned around to see what he had to say.

"About dinner, I'll stop by around 6:30 if that's alright with you," Theo said, Katherine nodded

"Yes, I'll see you later,"

At 12 Grimmauld Place,

Katherine arrived at Grimmauld Place to visit Harry hoping he would remember Max Burke. His name was familiar to her but it wasn't a person she knew very well. Ginny made Katherine a drink, they both could see the Katherine was visibly tired after taking care of the children.

"Is daddy coming today?" Bekah asked for nearly the hundredth time.

"Yes, he's coming for dinner," Katherine said, her face lit up running into the living room.

"Daddy's coming for dinner," She shouted to Lisa and Alex. Harry eyed Katherine

"Don't look at me like that, the kids have been pestering me about him, for what seems like forever," Katherine said, Harry held his hands up in surrender.

"Okay, so what did you want to talk to me about?" Harry asked

"I looked some more of the memories, something is going to happen in five days, and I think it had something to do with Max Burke," Katherine explained,

"Max Burke, really?" Harry questioned

"Yeah, I wondering if you knew where he lives," Katherine asked

"Mia hasn't spoken to him in a while, last I heard they had a fight and he moved out," Harry explained "I'll see if I can find where he lives now,"

"Thank you, Harry" Katherine smiled at him, "I guess I better get home,"

"Yeah, and get dinner started," Harry mocked

"Har har funny,"

At 3 Greenfield Street,

Katherine arrived home with the children, she set the television on playing them The Lion King, while she prepared dinner. She could hear the children laughing, which made her smile. They had been through so much, Alex often woke up scared, wanting to sleep in bed with Katherine.

At first she uncomfortable with the small boy sleeping with her, but he was always scared that his mummy was hurt again. Alex had to check that she was alright before he got in bed with her even then it took a long time for him to fall asleep.

"No, Simba's crying," Lisa said, as they reached Mufasa's death scene.

"What the fuck are they watch?" Theo said, Katherine hand shot to her chest.

"Merlin's beard I didn't know you were here," she said "and watch your language," she warned pointing a spatula at him.

"Daddy!" Bekah said, Theo lifted her up remembering how hurt she was when he didn't do it the first time they met.

"Bekah," he lifted her high above his head as though she was flying.

"Why don't you go and sit at the table dinner's nearly done," Katherine said, Theo took Bekah into the living room where Katherine had a table set for them.

She plated them their food up, Theo helped Bekah eat her food, wiping her chin when she got a little around her mouth. Katherine watched him, he was very parental, which Katherine did not expect. An owl flew through the window dropping a letter on the table.

To Katherine,

I found where Max Burke lives, he's moved in with his aunt Aimee, she lives at Burke Cottage.
