A/N: Thanks for the reviews everyone! :) We're skipping a few months now…
Disclaimer, first chapter.
The train jostled and shook as it came down the track. It's destination: King's Cross. Catie yawned and looked out the window. It was snowing again. As of that moment she was the only one occupying the compartment. The others were… well, somewhere else.
Suddenly the door slid open and James and Lily's argument could be heard. "Admit it, Lily, you find me strikingly handsome," James said chuckling.
"I do not," Lily snapped as she followed him into the compartment. "Hello, Catie," she said giving Catie a short greeting. She turned back to James. "If you think I enjoyed one microsecond of that kiss you're wrong!" The train hit a bump and Lily fell into James, who fell onto the seat, causing their lips to meet. They started snogging. Catie snorted and shook her head, looking back out the window. The door slid open again, this time letting in Remus.
"Hello Ca- what happened?" he paused upon catching sight of James and Lily.
Catie shrugged. "A bump in the tracks."
Lily pulled away and climbed off of James, clearing her throat. "I-um-er-have to meet Alice," she mumbled moving around Remus and out of the compartment. James jumped to his feet and followed her.
Remus blinked. "Right. Well, as I was saying, I couldn't find Peter anywhere. He must have gotten left behind," he said sitting beside Catie.
Catie sighed. "I almost forgot he existed. I've been so busy and we never see him anymore either."
Remus nodded. "Yes, I've noticed too."
"I'm back!" Sirius said opening the door to the compartment, his arms were full with candy and chocolate. "Did you miss me?"
Catie laughed. "I see you brought plenty of candy."
"More than plenty, love," Sirius said kissing her cheek.
Catie grinned up at him. "Well, love, are you going to hand me my licorice wand or do I have to nick it from you?"
Sirius chuckled and kissed her. "Maybe."
Catie raised an eyebrow. "Maybe?" Sirius kissed her forehead and handed her the candy wand.
"Thank you, love," Catie said winking at him.
Sirius sat down in the seat across from her and shrugged. "You're welcome."
A few hours later they reached King's Cross and were met by Ellen. "Hey mum," Catie said hugging her mother.
"Oh, Catie, you look as beautiful as you did the last time I saw you!" Ellen cried patting Catie's cheek.
Catie smiled. "Thanks, mum," she said before moving out of the way for James. Sirius put his finger under Catie's chin and lifted her face up.
"Something wrong?" he asked.
Catie shook her head and then bit her lip. "I just... forgot about dad."
Sirius slung his arm over her shoulders and kissed her temple. "It'll be alright."
"I hope so," Catie said leaning into him.
After they had all greeted Ellen they apparated to the manor. "Catie, dear, I took the liberty of having your things brought back here. I left your room as you had it," Ellen said.
Catie nodded and picked up her trunk. "Thank, mum. See you boys later."
"Bye, Cate," they said.
"What are you lot doing?" Catie asked.
Remus shrugged. "I honestly haven't the foggiest. It was James' idea."
"It's a classic muggle movie Lily recommended," James explained.
Catie sighed and sat down in between Remus and Sirius. "I guess there's no harm in that."
"Not yet anyway," Sirius said chuckling to himself.
After the movie was over Catie and Sirius were asleep and both James and Remus were fighting to stay awake.
"That was longer than I had anticipated," James said, yawning.
Remus nodded sleepily. "But it was good...for a muggle movie."
"Yeah," James said, "I'm going on up to bed, you coming?"
Remus nodded. "Yeah but I don't think Sirius is."
James chuckled. "If they aren't awake in the morning yet we'll dump water on them."
Remus got up. "Just like old times."
James clapped him on the back. "Yeah, just like old times."
The next morning Catie woke first. She blinked and ran a hand through her hair. She smiled to herself and pushed herself up to kiss Sirius' cheek. Almost as a chain reaction Sirius held her closer to him and shifted. Catie smiled bigger and ran her finger down his nose lightly.
His nose wrinkled and suddenly his hand grabbed hers. "Can't you let me wake up on my own?"
Catie let out a small laugh. "No, sorry."
Sirius opened his eyes and smiled at her. "I could get used to it I suppose."
"You are very comfortable," Catie teased grinning at him.
Sirius caressed her cheek. "And you are very beautiful in the morning."
Catie grinned shyly and blushed. ''You serious?"
"Why of course!" Sirius said smirking at her. Catie laughed and kissed him.
"Would mistress Catie and master Sirius like some waffles?"
Catie and Sirius broke apart and sighed. "Not now, Milly," Catie said. Milly nodded and backed away towards the kitchen.
Sirius sighed. "Maybe somewhere more private perhaps?"
Catie smirked. "My dad's old office?" Sirius smiled and kissed her.
James woke up and patted the nightstand beside him looking for his glasses. "You awake, Remus?"
"I am now," Remus grumbled from the other side of the room.
James smiled to himself. "Do you smell what I do?"
Remus groaned and sat up. "If you are referring to the waffles, yes. I do smell them." He rubbed his face. "Think Sirius and Cate are up?"
James shrugged and slipped his glasses on. "Probably."
Remus yawned and climbed out of bed. "I'm going to shower. Meet you down stairs."
James nodded, sitting up. "Alright." He cracked his neck and then got some clean clothes to change into. When he was finished he ran his fingers through his hair and went downstairs.
"Morning, Mil! Breakfast smells excellent, as usual. Are, uh, Catie and Sirius up?" James asked, sliding into a seat at the table.
Milly smiled and placed a plate in front of him. "Yes, they are occupying Master Potter's old office."
James raised an eyebrow. "Are they," he said quietly. He glanced over his shoulder and picked up a roll. "Thanks, Milly."
"You're welcome, master James," Milly said nodding to him. A few seconds later Remus came into dining room and sat down.
"What's that look for?" he asked as Milly gave him his plate.
James rubbed his chin. "I don't know."
Remus nodded slowly. "Alright."
"Sirius, we really should get out here before James suspects anything," Catie said gently pushing him away.
"Who's to say he's even awake?" Sirius asked, chuckling.
Catie fought a smile. "I'd rather not take the chance and have him barge in all angry."
Sirius sighed. "Good point." He kissed her one last time and then got up, heading for the door. Catie got off the sofa and followed.
