Sean would you like to come back to Katie's house for a little while asked Mrs. Sullivan? What said Sean shaking his head? I asked if you would like to go to the Robinson's for the afternoon. Oh yes that would be wonderful said Sean. What do you think he asked Katie? Yes, that would be wonderful said Katie smiling up at him. Mrs. Sullivan and Mrs. Robinson then started to walk towards the door of the train station. Sean put Sebastian on top of the trunks and followed them taking Katie's hand. Let's go said Sean as he started to walk along behind the mothers.
When they got to the car, Sean handed Sebastian off to Katie as she got into the car. Sean put the trunks in the trunk of the car and got in beside Katie. They then drove the few kilometres to the Robinson's house.
As they were driving to the Robinson's home Mrs. Robinson looked into the rear-view mirror and saw Katie and Sean just sitting looking at each other holding hands. She indicated to Mrs. Sullivan to look back at the children. When she did, she just smiled.
When they got to the Robinson's home Sean took in both trunks and Katie carried in Sebastian and his cage. He left his trunk on the main floor and took Katie's up to her room. When he got back downstairs, he found the women sitting in the living room waiting for him.
Sean looked at them and seemed a little intimidated. They just smiled at him, which for some reason did not make him feel better. What is going on here he asked? Nothing Sean said Katie. We were just talking about where to go for dinner said Mrs. Sullivan. Dinner? questioned Sean. Yes as Mr. Robinson is working and well I don't feel like cooking we have decided to go out for dinner. Where would you like to go asked Katie? I don't know said Sean. I don't really know the restaurants here in London. Well would you like a steak, pasta or seafood asked Katie? I think I would like a steak said Sean. Alright then we will have to go to a restaurant that sells really good steak said Katie.
They looked up the restaurants in the phone book and decided on one. Mrs. Robinson called and made a reservation for the four of them. If we are going out for dinner I need something that is appropriate said Sean. Let me see if I have anything in my trunk. He went to his trunk and pulled out a nice pair of dress pants and a shirt. What do you think of this he asked? I think you will look wonderful said Katie. Sean just smiled at her. Oh, I had better find something too said Katie. she ran upstairs and looked in her cupboard. Yes, this will be perfect said Katie taking her pink silk blouse and navy skirt.
Katie took the blouse and skirt and went to the top of the stairs. What do you think of this she asked showing her mother and Mrs. Sullivan? I think that will look wonderful said her mom. I haven't seen you in that outfit yet she said. It is one of the outfits I bought at Christmas when I was in Belfast said Katie. yes, I remember said Mrs. Sullivan. I think you will look beautiful as usual said Sean. Thank you said Katie smiling.
It was soon time to get changed to go for dinner. Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Sullivan just transfigured the clothes they had into something appropriate for the restaurant while Katie and Sean were getting changed. Those two are so cute aren't they said Mrs. Sullivan? Yes, they can't keep their eyes off each other. I am not looking forward to September when Katie has to go back to school without Sean. There are going to be tears galore. Well things may be a little easier as Sean will be a great deal closer soon. What do you mean asked Mrs. Robinson? Well when Sean reached seventeen, he got his inheritance from his uncle and part of that inheritance came an apartment building. Sean has decided to move into the building, as it will be closer to work and of course closer to Katie. where is it asked Mrs. Robinson? You can see it from here said Mrs. Sullivan. They went to the door and she pointed to a tall apartment building a couple of blocks away. That is it said Mrs. Sullivan. Oh my this could be interesting said Mrs. Robinson. Why is that asked Mrs. Sullivan? Well ever since we moved her all I hear about during the summers is how Katie wanting to tear down that building. She feels it blocks her sun. I would love to see her face when she hears that Sean is the owner of that building.
Unfortunately that will most likely not happen, Sean told me that he intends to put his suite under the fidius charm. Why would he do that? Well from what I understand it is because he wants a safe place for Katie to be able to go to if this war escalates. He wrote to me about this shortly after the situation at the ministry happened. Mrs. Robinson paled. Therefore, he is doing this to protect her from my sister isn't he? I am not even sure she is aware we are living in London and if she is I am sure she doesn't know where. That wouldn't be very hard to find out would it said Mrs. Sullivan. I am sure that St Mungo's is aware of your address. She would just need a spy there to get that information. I think Sean is concerned that she will go after you and your family. One way to get to you would be through Katie. if she really wanted to hurt you it would be to hurt your daughter wouldn't it? Yes that is true said Mrs. Robinson. What can we do to keep Katie safe? I would say let her live her life until you have to restrict her movement. She is a very talented witch and knows how to do some protective spells. But she is only thirteen years old. I know said Mrs. Sullivan.
The next thing they knew Sean and Katie were coming down the stairs from the second floor of the house. What were you two talking about asked Katie? Oh the usual said Mrs. Robinson. Oh so you were talking about us said Katie. Yeah that's about right said Mrs. Robinson. So the two of you are ready asked Mrs. Robinson? Yes mommy we are said Katie. Alright let's go.
They arrived at the restaurant and were seated. This is a nice place said Katie. I hope the food is as good as the décor. I am sure it is said Mrs. Robinson.
They ordered and were served quite quickly. The food was wonderful and Sean really enjoyed his steak. This is one of the best steaks I have ever had he exclaimed. Well I am glad you enjoyed that said Mrs. Robinson. I think it is time for a toast said Mrs. Sullivan. They all raised their glasses. To my son for graduating at the top of his class and achieving O's in all of his classes and to my little girl who again was top of her class. To Sean and Katie called out Mrs. Robinson. Katie was blushing as was Sean. We must have done something right said Mrs. Sullivan to have raised two wonderful children.
After dinner they all went back to the Robinson's for a little while. Soon it was time for Sean and his mother to return home. Sean shrunk up his trunk to a size where he could put it into his pocket. Katie ran up to him and hugged him. Katie I will probably see you tomorrow he said hugging her back. I know but I still like to hug you she said smiling. Sean smiled at hearing this.
Katie again hugged him tight. I love you she said. I know sweetie I love you too. Think of this in a few weeks I will be living here in London. You will exclaimed Katie!! Yes I will be moving at the beginning of August. I start work in a couple of weeks and then at the end of the month I move into the apartment. Will you invite me to come and see it asked Katie? Of course I will said Sean. He leaned over and whispered in her ear. You will have your own room at my place so that maybe you can stay over sometimes. Really whispered Katie? Yes I believe that the apartment has two bedrooms so one of them will be yours. Thank you Sean she said hugging him and giving him a kiss.
Well I guess we should be going said Mrs. Sullivan. We do need to get home before you start work at the ministry she said sarcastically. Yes mom said Sean kissing Katie one more time. I will see you soon said Sean to Katie. Thank you very much for dinner he said to Mrs. Robinson. You are very welcome Sean and congratulations again. Thank you said Sean.
Sean and his mother went out the front door and after Mrs. Robinson closed the door they apparated home.
Mommy, why am I so sad asked Katie? I know I am going to see Sean soon but all I want to do is cry. I think it is because you know that your life is going to change now. Sean has graduated and the part of your life where you would go to school with him is over. I guess so said Katie. I should tell you what happened yesterday said Katie.
She told her mother about how she had been sitting at the top of the stairs looking down on Sean and crying her eyes out. He was so wonderful to me said Katie. He took me aside and comforted me telling me that things wouldn't change that much. He helped me to be strong and I actually was able to go to graduation and I didn't make a fool of myself. Hermione and Ginny also helped me to get ready and yes mommy I did thank them. It was hard to see him graduate knowing that next year he will not be there. Sean has promised to come up to school next year for Hogsmeade visits. So I guess it will not be too bad. I will be able to see him around Halloween which is when the first Hogsmeade weekend is usually. Oh mommy I really wanted to call you and have you come and get me so I wouldn't have to face riding the train with Sean and have to face that it would be his last trip on the train.
Well I am proud that you did stay and attend graduation. I think you would have regretted it if you had not been there. It is a shared moment for the both of you. You two are so close and I don't think that you would have wanted to miss this important event in his life. Yes I know that what I was concerned about was that I might embarrass him is I started to sob. I do tend to get very emotional when it comes to Sean. Yes that is true isn't it? Well I guess that is because I love him so much said Katie. I am sure he loves you just as much
