"Katie!" My father beamed and held open his arms. I stopped in front of him, staring at his face. His hair was grey now, with a matching beard. I wouldn't have recognized him if it weren't for his eyes, the same shade of blue as my own. He wrapped his arms around me. I stiffened at his touch.

He quickly let go. "You're all grown up!" His eyes looked me up and down. "Where's my little girl?"

"It's been ten years, Dad." I was clutching my bag so tightly, my knuckles were turning white.

"And there's baby Hayden!" he practically yelled, causing others to stare.

Hayden obviously did not recognized him and looked extremely uncomfortable.

Dad punched Hayden's arm. "I haven't see you since you were a little tyke." He gave Hayden a noogie.

I rolled my eyes at his horrible attempt at being a dad. He was failing miserably.

"What are you, fourteen now, Katie?" He looked at me, still smiling.

Hayden burst out laughing. "Who's Katie?"

Dad looked at him, confused. "Your sister."

I felt blood rush to my face in anger. "It's Kat. And I'm seventeen. Hayden is twelve. You would've known that if you cared." I spun on my heel and left the train station, and my father, behind.


Back at my house, I was sitting in my purple bedroom, staring at the ceiling, still angry. Why did he have to come back? He should've stayed in Azkaban, where he belonged. I thought back to the day he left.

A few minutes after he left, Aurors arrived at our house and found Hayden unconscious, my mother crying hysterically, and me, silently crying. Through her tears, Mom explained what happened and they left to find Dad. The next morning, we got an owl from the ministry, saying they caught up with Dad and sent his straight to Azkaban. For a while, I was sad and missed his a lot. But as I grew older, my anger did too.

I heard a weird knocking sound at my window. I looked over and saw a tiny owl with a letter in it's beak. I slid open the window, and the owl hopped onto my arm, hooting happily. I opened the letter.

Kat,

We need to talk.

Please write back with a time and place.

HP

I smiled and grabbed a pen. I quickly dashed off a reply on the back, with a muggle café's address and the next days date. I gave the letter back to the owl and he took it. I petted it's head and he flew out the window.


The next day, I was in a café in London, waiting for Harry, with a slice of apple pie in front of me. The coffee here was disgusting but its apple pie was heavenly. I had hid in my room all night, and was full of energy from being pent up.

The bell above the door rang as Professor Potter entered. He quickly saw me and made his way over. Instantly, a waitress was at his side, pouring him a cup of coffee.

"I would not drink that if I were you." I said as he took a sip.

He almost gagged and quickly pushed his cup off to the side. "Gross."

I laughed and offered him my pie. "This is way better. Trust me."

He cautiously took a bite and smiled. "Definitly better than coffee." He waved the waitress over and ordered a whole pie.

I raised my eyebrow. "Hungry?"

He grinned. "Starving."

We sat in silence for a while. Then he looked at me.

"So." I said.

"So." he repeated. "We need to talk about what happened that night."

"Easy enough. You seduced me in the Room of Requirement." I said, grinning.

He smile turned into a grimace. "I know. That was wrong."

I nodded. "Yes it was."

He looked surprised. "You're agreeing?"

I rolled my eyes. "Yes." I reached over and took his hand. "But I don't mind."

He rubbed his forehead, right over his scar. I withdrew my hand. He quickly took it back.

"I fancy you Kat."

"And I, you." I rubbed his knuckle with my thumb. "What are we going to do about it?"

His eyes met mine. "I don't know." he said quietly.

"I think we should go for it. No matter the risks."

He stared and me for a few moments, contemplating. "Okay."

I looked at him, surprised. I wasn't expecting him to agree so quickly.

He kissed my hand.

"Okay." I said, smiling wide.

"But we need to establish rules." he said firmly. I groaned.

He continued, ignoring me. "First, if we break it off, no hard feelings."

I agreed. "Fine."

"Second, nothing more than kissing." As he said this, his face turned an adorable pink.

I laughed. "Okay."

"That it?" he asked.

"That about covers it." I replied.

"Good." He leaned back in his chair. "Now, tell me what has you worried."

My mouth fell open. "How did you know?"

He laughed. "I can just tell. Now tell me."

I sighed and took a deep breath. "My dad just got out of Azkaban."

Silence followed this statement and hand tightened around mine.

"Its been ten years since I last saw him." I went on. "He used the Cruciatus Curse on my brother." I felt tears fall and instantly Harry's arms were around me.

"I had no idea, Kat." he whispered. "If I had, I wouldn't have asked."

"I'm scared he's going to do it again." I said, hugging him back.

"I'm so sorry Kitty Kat." He let go and wiped my tears. He pressed his lips against mine.

While kissing Harry, my mind focused on him, and all the bad thoughts slipped away.
