Chapter 15

5 September 1999, Jessica's home

The children had been quiet since Katherine and Theo left, almost a week since they had gone by and Bekah and Lisa were beginning to worry that their mummy and daddy were hurt again. Alex hadn't been too bothered, following Jessica's husband around like a lost puppy.

Jessica had hoped that Katherine wasn't too long as the children clearly knew that there was something different about their aunt Jessie. They were confused as to why her son was younger than Alex, she tried her best to keep the children occupied.

"Bunny, I want Bunny," Bekah said, stomping her feet,

"Sweetie, don't know where bunny is," Jessica said, the little girl's lip trembled "would like you to a real bunny?" she asked

Bekah nodded, holding Jessica's hand, she walked Bekah and Lisa out to a small pen where inside were three Jackalopes, Bekah's face lit up as she saw the rabbit-like creature. Jessica walked Bekah and Lisa inside to pet them, they laughed as the Jackalopes whiskers tickled their faces.

"When mummy coming back?" Lisa asked, Jessica smiled at the small child, just reassured her that it would be soon.

26 October 2007, Nott Manor,

"What happened we haven't left?" Theo questioned

"I don't know, let look take a look," Katherine said,

Katherine took the time-turner from around their necks, she looked closely, at the time-turner nothing seemed out of place, she put the time-turner back around their neck. As Katherine was about to use the time-turner they heard someone come back into the house.

"She wants the book!" someone yelled,

Theo hurried Katherine upstairs, Theo pulled a string, to a set of stairs to the attic, he pushed Katherine up first. At least if he was caught, Katherine still had the time-turner to get back. Katherine helped him up into the attic, they heard two men walk the stairs towards the study, Theo and Katherine listened carefully.

"They've already taken it," one of the men said,

"She knew they'd come for it, they're probably already back in 1999," the other man said,

"I know something that'll get them to come to us," one of the men said, the other laughed seemingly knowing what he meant.

"We have to get back now," Katherine said, fiddling with the time-turner putting it around their necks, she twisted to the dial. It finally worked.

14 September 1999, Jessica's home

Katherine and Theo arrived back in 1999, though they were concerned about how the Warrior knew that they were going 2007. Or that they wanted the book which they had found, thankfully they had arrived in 2007 just in time. Katherine and Theo reach Jessica's home where they heard laughter coming from inside the house.

"Sounds like they've had fun," Theo said, hearing the children's laughter which made Katherine smile,

Katherine pushed open Jessica's front door, cursing her cousin for not keeping her front door locked in these, bad times. Theo and Katherine walked towards the laughter which was coming from the backyard, the children were playing hide and seek in the garden.

"Mummy!" Bekah yelled, running over to Katherine and Theo, Lisa and Alex emerged from their hiding places to hug their mum and dad.

"Here, we brought you something back," Katherine said, reaching into her bag

"Yogi!" Alex said squeezing his bear tightly

"My Blanket," Lisa said putting the blanket over her shoulder's like a cape.

"You found bunny!" Bekah said, holding her bunny, Jessica smiled at them

"Thank you Jess, I hope they weren't too much trouble,"

"Don't worry about it, you'll owe us two weeks of babysitting," her husband said, wrapping his arm around Jessica's waist, Katherine shook her head at the cheek of him.

"I'll remember that," Katherine said,

Katherine hugged Jessica, she couldn't have thanked her enough for taking care of the children for two weeks, Theo and Katherine didn't think they'd been gone that long. To them, they hadn't been gone for two weeks, but to the children, they had been gone all that time. That knowledge made Theo and Katherin feel immensely guilty, hoping that the children didn't think the worst had happened.

The children looked a lot happier to have some familiar things with them, they all might have loved Quidditch like Theo did. They watched muggle television like Katherine use to at her grandmothers, the kids liked it so much Lisa had a blanket with Bug Bunny on it.

At 3 Greenfield Street,

Katherine had figured out what shows the children like from some of the things they had in their bedrooms, Katherine played them, Tom and Jerry, while she and Theo looked through the book. Which was filled with dates and places. Katherine hoped that the memories the children came with could fill in the gaps of this book.

"Haha, Jerry got him again," Lisa said, Katherine saw the little smile on Theo's face as he listened to them.

"No Tom, you silly cat," Bekah said, causing Katherine to giggle a little.

"You cannot swim, you stupid cat," Alex said, causing Katherine and Theo to laugh.

"We raised so good kids," Theo said, Katherine creased her brows, "I mean, future us did," he corrected himself,

"Yeah, we did," Katherine agreed

Katherine and Theo tried to work a plan to work through the book, and to figure out who the two men were who wanted the book. Theo knew that Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange were in Azkaban, he checked that they were still there which they were.

Theo informed Harry of what they had seen, and asked Harry if it was possible to get extra security in Azkaban, in case there was a possibility that the Lestrange brothers managed to break out. Theo desperately hoped they never did, he knew them and how active they were during the war they were ruthless, he prayed to Merlin that they never crossed their paths again.
