Chapter 16

21st September 1999, Greenfield Street

Katherine prepared the Children's breakfast while Theo continued to read through the book noting dates and if they corresponded with the events that had already happened. He used a red pen to mark the events that had already happened, he wasn't too fond of using muggle pens. He had to admit it was a lot more convenient than a quill.

He read through the book every happened like the book said, he read through the first five incidents. All being exactly what happened.

2nd May 1999, Pansy Parkinson Attacked

30th May 1999, Max Burke lurking in Diagon Alley

10th June 1999, Daphne Greengrass Attacked in her home.

16th July 1999, Max Burke in custody, been hexed

2nd August 1999, Theo attacked

Everything happened on the exact days the book said, they could use this book to stop the next attack, Theo skimmed through the book, looking for the next person who was targeted. '30th September 1999, Blaise Zabini attacked in his home'

Katherine watched Theo while he read through, he was becoming more determined than ever to find the Warrior. The only thing they knew was it was a woman. Who hated Death Eaters, that didn't narrow anything down for them many people despised the fact some death eaters were able to escape time in Azkaban.

"Have you found anything?" Katherine asked, Theo looked up at her forgetting that Katherine and the children were in the flat.

"Yes, there's a lot that happens but..." he paused

"But?"

"The people who came looking for the book, they might know we took it,"

"What makes you say that?" Katherine questioned sitting beside him on the sofa.

"They knew we were from a different time, who's to say they don't know it's us that took the book," Theo said, Katherine didn't know what to say hoping he could be wrong, but she had to admit she didn't know what to think anymore.

"I'm going to see Blaise," Theo said, "according to the book he's the next person who's going to get attacked,"

"Can we see uncle Blaise too," Bekah asked

"Please daddy," Lisa begged

"Mum, can we go with dad?" Alex asked, Katherine looked at Theo leaving him to decide.

"Yeah, I'll take you," he said, "if that's alright with mummy,"

"Yeah, it's fine, I might be able to clean up the flat for a change," Katherine said, the children hugged her tightly before running to get their travel robes, they left with Theo.

At Zabini Manor,

Theo and the children were welcomed into Blaise's home though they were wondering why it looked so different. Theo had explained the situation in which they thought Blaise might be in, he admitted to Theo that he thought someone was scoping out his manor a few nights ago.

"Did you see what they looked like?" Theo asked

"No, only that they left when I noticed them," Blaise said,

"Right, well could you go to a safe house we have set up," Theo asked,

"I want to prevent anything else from happening," Blaise nodded

Bekah came in crying to Theo, Alex had pulled her hair which made her upset, Theo lifted Bekah onto his lap, cuddling the small girl until she calmed down. Blaise watched in amazement, Theo hadn't become a dad in a traditional sense, but even he could tell he cared about these children.

Theo had explained everything that happened in the future, what he and Katherine had seen and heard. Blaise had to take a moment to understand what Theo was telling him, it did sound utterly insane, even for Theo. Though he had to admit with what happened to Pansy and Daphne, he could take chances.

"What do you have planned?" Blaise asked

"I'm going to stay here, in your place, that way we maybe be able to figure out who's doing all this," Theo said, Blaise nodded but he was unsure about Theo's plan.

"Are you sure that's a good idea, what if you get attacked in the process," Blaise asked, Theo hadn't really thought that part through but he wasn't going to tell Blaise that.

"I won't get attacked, I know what I'm looking out for," Theo lied, Blaise headed upstairs to pack his back,

At Greenfield Street,

Katherine took a lot longer to tidy around than she thought, she hadn't realised how much the children would make a mess in her flat. Once she finally managed to sit down, Katherine cast an illusion charm on the book, she had been extremely paranoid about people being attacked in her home.

She had no idea when Theo would be coming back with the children, so she held off on cooking dinner. Katherine read through the book, looking for anything that might hint at who the warrior could be. Even if Theo had gone through the pages many times she thought she might see something he missed.

Katherine heard a noise come from her bedroom, she closed the book, Katherine held her wand tightly, she walked to her living room. She hid behind her bookcase, listening for the person, she held her breath, hoping that she could stay calm enough and the intruder wouldn't hear her elevated breathing.

"Katherine?" She heard Theo say, Katherine drew her wand out

"How do I know it's really you?" she said, holding her wand up to him.

"Your name is Katherine Parker, you were named after your aunt Katherine Harper, you were in Ravenclaw house, in 4th year you punched me cause I made fun of Lovegood-

"Alright, I know it you," Katherine said, lowering her wand "Someone was here," she said, quietly so she didn't scare the children.

"I'm here now, you're okay," Theo said, holding Katherine against him to calm her down, she wrapped her arms around him, relieved that he came home when he did.
