Cathy pov

The days after that became quite boring.

It was a repetitive routine with waking up, going to dad, cleaning our selfs up if we had the will to do so and reading.

After the third week with out father we started eating dinner wherever we were at the time.

The library, our rooms, the garden, our room, the living room, but mostly our room.

Eventually I decided I was going to go visit harry because I got bored of our established routine.

I left my room ready to leave and headed to Dad's room.

I knocked lightly on the open door and he looked up at me from some notes had been taken on a subject he had yet to reveal to me.

"Are you sure you're not coming with?" I asked.

He smiles, "Yes, quite," he said fidgeting with the quill he held.

"Is that the same book?" I asked noticing the thickness seemed to be the same size as what he's been reading earlier.

He glanced at it as he let out a breath through his nose, "No, I've- I've finished that one," he said chewing his lip.

I glanced at the clock impressed, "Impressive, well enjoy that I have to go," I said walking backwards to the door.

He looks up, "Are you sleeping here?" He asks.

"Where else would I sleep?" I ask confused, "I'm definitely not sleeping at the dursley residence," I say with a shudder.

"You do have your own house you know," he says with a grin.

"Oh yeah," I shrug, "Anyways I'm sleeping here, but I might be back late," I say.

He chuckles, "You do realise you're an adult right? As long as you don't die, you can do whatever," he says.

I'm silent for a moment to consider my possibilities, "That's a lot of free will," I say.

"Yes it is, have fun, don't die," he says I nod turning away, "Oh and don't kill or murder anyone," he says.

I short-circuit and stand there gaping like a fish out of water, "Don't murder anyone? Really? Kill I understand, actidents happen I mean I'm proof of that, but murder?" I asked shocked how he'd think so low of me.

He shrugs, and I just look at him offended, "How could you even think I'd get caught? I'm not that daft, I know things,"

"It was just a warning, not saying you would ever do that," he says hands up in surrender.

I hum and turn around, "Bye," I say slowly closing the door.

"Bye, see ya," he says.

"Tomorrow," I say knowing I would be to tired to tell him I was home when I came back.

I walk to the floo-room and floo to Ms.... house.

I great her and pet her cat accepting her over of tea since I could let the dursleys wait just a little longer, just for the hell of it before I left to babysit Harry.

He didn't really need babysitting but the dursleys didn't like leaving him alone so they always hired me when they took Dudley with them on trips.

I had been their standard babysitter for a while now, eventhough I was sometimes occopied and couldn't babysit him.

I walked up their empty driveway to their door and knocked on the door.

I was as ussually greeted by harry.

"Hi Cathy," he said.

"Hi harry," I replied walking inside when he opened the door for me.

"They already left for the park," he said as I walked to the kitchen.

"Oh wonderfull i don't have to even talk to them," I say clapping my hands.

"What do you say we do?" I ask him.

"Uhm, well I have a bit of homework at the moment so I say we do the ones that require magic now," he says.

"Great go get that," I instruct him, he leaves and I put down my bag with food.

For most for the night i help him with his homework mostly it was charms.

"Why are you smart when not in class?" I ask him as we do potions.

He looks down to his books and frowns, "less distractions, I guess," he says.

"What just everyone?" I ask.

"Yeah, theur pretty loud when trying to do the spells," he says.

"I get that, do you wanna tune them out to focus or is it good that they distract you?" I ask.

"Depends, but I can't tune them out so doesn't matter," he says.

"I can't either trying to tune out a Malfoy specifically is impossible," I say leaning back.

We stay silent for a minute before he speaks.

"Do you know why Snapes so..," he tries off.

I sigh, "Yes, but it's difficult to- who I am I kidding, it's just jealousy against your dad and a touch of hatred against your eyes," I say.

"Jealousy? Against my da- I'm not my dad tho," he says completely confused

I shrug and stand to pick some fruit Id brought.

"And hatred for my eyes, let me guess because their my moms and I look like my dad?" He says sarcastically

"Yep," I say biting the apple I'd taken.

"He's crazy," harry says.

"Yep," I say again, chewing my bite, "How are you doing in potions by the way?" I ask.

"Decent," he says.

"Really? I thought he was gonna be like extra strict so you got lower," I say slightly chuckle at how petty Snape's jealousy sounds.

"He is but it's just that he's strict with everyone and the only high grades are from Malfoy and Hermoine with her in second place," he says.

"Oh, I mean I get why he's strict with his students and all that," I say absentmindedly finishing my apple.

He looks at me confused and I go to explain, "I say that because with him everyone seems to be more careful. Potion making is tricky and dangerous," I say.

"The previous potion teacher was more relaxed and people ended up in the hospital wing more often because of it," I say, "You should be glad you don't have him," I say.

"Was he really that bad?" Harry asks.

"Not really, we didn't hate him, I was only saying that we had a lot of accidents. He also sort of loved collecting people like trophies had these parties with like top students and people with famous parents or who were famous themselves," I explained.

"Oh," he says, "So I would have been invited?" He asks his face a frown.

"Most definitely, you, Hermione, probably Draco too," I say.

"Oh wow," he says.

We go quiet again, "you want ice-cream?" I ask.

He shrugs and I get up, "I do let's go," I say.
