September 2000,

Six months had passed, and life was getting back to normal, Katherine returned to her job at St. Mungo's dealing with less extreme cases. Theo continued his work at the Ministry, everything had returned to how they were, except one thing.

Katherine had sold her flat and permanent moved in Theo, the pair had a real-life together now. They had even tried double dates, with Draco and Aurora. Katherine even took it upon herself to decorate Nott Manor, Theo had the biggest smiled when he came home.

For a second he believed he had returned to 2007, as the home resembled Nott Manor from the future so much. Katherine had stayed home from work, as she wanted to be home when Theo returned from Bellatrix's Trial. The Lestrange brothers received life in Azkaban for their crimes. Theo believed that Azkaban would be too nice for Bellatrix.

"Kitty Kat, I'm back," Theo said as he walked through the door.

"What have I told you about calling me that," she told him she sat on the sofa with her feet propped up on the edge of the sofa, a blanket over her she settled the book she was reading on the table

"So how'd it go?"

"Life in Nurmengard Prison should be secure enough to hold her," he explained

"How'd you feel about it?" she asked,

"Great, I know now, it's truly over," he sat on the sofa wrapping his arm around her waist, lightly resting on her stomach

"How's he doing?" he asked, lightly grazing his thumb of her stomach,

"He's been great haven't felt sick all day," she smiled at him, "should we see a mediwitch, to know if we're actually having a boy?" she questioned

"Why when already know?" he kissed her, then her stomach.

1 September 2011,

King's Cross Station was flooded with many wizards, heading to Hogwarts School, some were returning for a new year. While others such as Alexander Nott were started their first year at Hogwarts, Katherine walked with her two daughters, while Theo ran through the barrier with Alex.

Katherine held their hands as they ran closely behind them, many parents were accompanying their children, including a few old friends of her. Rhea was taking her oldest daughter to school, Jessica and Charlie were back again, for another year their son Archie was attending his final year of school.

"Mum, it's aunt Pheebs!" Lisa said, pointing in her direction, Katherine embraced her long time friends,

"Hi, Belle-

"Isabelle," her daughter corrected Katherine

"Sorry hunny, you didn't have to come,"

"Of course, I couldn't miss Alex's first day of Hogwarts," Phoebe told her,

"Will you come when I go to Hogwarts?"

"Oh, I'm not sure yet, have you been behaving?" Phoebe asked the smallest girl

"Daddy, I have been behaving?" she asked

"My Bekah, is always a sweet little girl," Theo said, Bekah nodded her head at her aunt Phoebe

The families, talked while they waited for the whistle signalling for students to begin boarding the train. A little red-haired girl around Bekah's age ran into Alex almost knocking him over, she was followed by Fred he caught her. Lifting her up, she giggled loudly.

"Sorry about that, can't seem to stay still this one," Fred apologised,

"I'm sorry, my sister ran into you," another girl said, more around Alex's age.

"It's alright," he said,

"I'm Aimee Weasley, what's your name?" Alex didn't speak at first, Theo nudged him

"I'm Aime, I mean Alex," he said, she chuckled at him

"Do you want to board the train with me?" he nodded, his two sisters hugged him, squeezing him too tight, Katherine kissed his cheek, which he immediately wiped off. Theo hugged him,

"Your name is Alex," he whispered

"Shut up," Alex told his dad, Theo smirked as the two boarded the train

"He might have found his first little friend," Katherine commented

"Yes, let's hope he remembers his name,"

"Oh stop it, he was nervous," Katherine said,

They watched as the train pulled out of the station, their first child heading of Hogwarts, knowing what a bright boy he is. Katherine and Theo had placed a bet between them on which house he would be in. While hoped he would be in Slytherin like he was, Alex was too much like his mother not to be Ravenclaw.

With their Haunted past behind, the new life they had built together was for sure one that they'd forever cherish.
