Early the next morning Sean got out of bed and had his shower. Soon it was time to wake up Katie. He walked along the hall way towards Katie's room. He knocked on the door and opened the door slowly and peaked in. He just smiled when he saw her sleeping so soundly. He walked over to her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Good morning he said quietly in her ear. Katie opened her eyes to find Sean standing over her. She smiled when she saw him. Good morning, she said stretching.
Sean laid down and pulled Katie into his arms. How did you sleep he asked as he rubbed her back. I slept very well. I think it was because of all the swimming yesterday. What time is it asked Katie? It is six thirty responded Sean. Oh alright said Katie. What do you want for breakfast she asked? You don't need to get up to make me breakfast said Sean. I know but I want to, I want to be sure you have a good breakfast and I have to make your lunch anyway. Sean just looked at her.
Sean if I don't make you lunch then all the extra food you bought will go to waste and we don't want that. But I just want to lay her and cuddle said Sean giving her puppy dog eyes. Katie just smiled. We can cuddle for a couple of minutes. So they laid together for about fifteen minutes and then got up and went out to the kitchen.
As they were walking towards the kitchen Katie asked again what Sean wanted for breakfast? How about eggs and bacon said Sean. Alright said Katie as she got some eggs out of the fridge and some bacon too. How would you like your eggs she asked? I will have them what ever way you want to make them. Alright said Katie smiling.
Katie put on the bacon and toasted some bread for Sean. I will get the juice said Sean. Alright answered Katie. Do you want tea or coffee she asked? No not today. Katie put out the toast for Sean as he didn't like his toast hot and finished up the rest of the breakfast and they sat and ate. This is so good said Sean. I can't cook much so that is why I eat out so much said Sean. I can teach you if you want said Katie? I would love that said Sean smiling. I can also make up some dishes that can be frozen and eaten later. I would love that said Sean. Katie was pleased that she was making Sean happy.
Once breakfast was finished Sean went to get dressed for work. While Sean was getting dressed Katie made Sean's lunch. She made up a large sandwich on good whole wheat bread and included some fruit, a couple of cookies and a bag of dry cereal that he could nibble on if he got hungry during the day. While they were out Katie had bought a lunch bag so she put all the food into the lunch bag and was ready when he came out and was preparing to apparate to work.
Here is your lunch said Katie handing Sean the lunch bag. I am only going to be at work for eight hours not eight days he said laughing. I know that said Katie. You will be surprised that there shouldn't be much left over. There is a sandwich, fruit, a snack and some nibbles. Nibbles? asked Sean. Yes something to nibble on in the afternoon if you get hungry. You spoil me said Sean hugging Katie.
Have a good day said Katie as she gave Sean a kiss on the cheek. I will see you later said Sean as he apparated away off to work.
Katie spent the day reading her school books, watching TV and talking to her mother when she called just after Sean left for work.
It was about nine o'clock in the morning when Mrs. Robinson called. She wanted to know how things were going and what Katie and Sean had been doing. Katie told her about their shopping trip and how she had met up with her Aunt Narcissa and Draco. She also told her mother about Siobhan. When Mrs. Robinson heard about this she was a little worried. If the only girl Sean had ever been interested was Katie was could happen now that he was working in a building with lots of women his age and a little older. If he were to fall for someone now it would devastate Katie.
They talked for a few more minutes and Mrs. Robinson told Katie about how her grandmother was doing (she was getting better). Mrs. Robinson promised she would call her again in a few days and then they hung up.
As Katie was reading she got a bit worried. She was reading her Ancient Runes text book and she did not understand what she was reading. This was a concern as she had never had this problem before. It just didn't make sense to her and this upset her quite a bit. Katie decided to ask Sean for some help as he had taken the subject and had done well.
Later on in the afternoon Katie started to make dinner for the two of them. She had decided to make a roast with potatoes and some vegetables. With that she was going to serve one of her favourite desserts; Lemon Snow. Katie enjoyed cooking the dinner as she was anticipating sitting and eating a very nice meal with candles on the table. She wanted to have a romantic dinner with the boy she loved.
Katie knew that Sean should be home around five o'clock so she decided to serve dinner around five thirty or six o'clock. Five o'clock came and no Sean. Well maybe he had to stay a little late thought Katie. She continued her dinner preparation. The time went by and still no Sean. She was getting worried and she wanted to go to the Ministry to find him except she didn't know Sean's floo address. She would be able to go to the Ministry but would not be able to get back to Sean's apartment if he wasn't there. She ended up floo calling Mrs. Sullivan.
Mom she cried out from the fireplace!!! Mrs. Sullivan came running when she heard Katie's voice. What is the problem she asked a very upset Katie? Do you know where Sean is asked Katie? He hasn't come home and I don't know where he is. I can't leave here because I don't know Sean's floo address. Katie was very upset she was crying. When did he say he would be home asked Mrs. Sullivan? He didn't but my daddy was always home by five thirty at the latest. Alright I will apparate to the Ministry and see if I can find him. Call back in about ten minutes said Mrs. Sullivan. Thank you said Katie as she pulled out of the fireplace.
When Katie called back she found that Mrs. Sullivan was not able to find her son. I don't know what to say. I asked around and they said that there were no recruits sent to St Mungo's. Please if he is not home in the next half hour floo here sweetie but leave a note for Sean.
Meanwhile Sean was sitting in a restaurant with some of his friends having a drink. He looked at his watch and yelped. I have to go he said running out of the door and apparating home.
Sean found candles that were burned down and then blown out. He found dishes in the sink and from the aroma in the air he knew he had missed dinner and that Katie had made a nice dinner for him. He called out for her but got no answer. He ran to her room to find he laying on her bed sleeping but could see that she had been crying. Oh what have I done he thought.
He walked over to her and kissed her forehead. Katie sweetie wake up he said softly. Katie opened her eyes and then just turned over so she wouldn't have to look at him. Oh sweetie please look at me he said. I am so sorry, I lost track of time. She turned over and had anger in her eyes. No you forgot about me. You forgot I was here. You left me here without anyway of going anywhere. You left me here trapped. Trapped exclaimed Sean confused. Yes trapped said Katie. I don't know where I am, I can leave and floo somewhere but I can't come back here. I had made dinner for you and I tried really hard to make sure it was good but you never came home. I waited and waited. I floo called your mom and she went to the ministry to look for you. I was so scared.
Sean sat down and took Katie into his arms. I am so sorry sweetie. Would you be willing to come with me and meet my friends? I have told them about you and they want to meet you. Katie looked as if she was going to say no. please Katie I want them to get to know you. Katie agreed and got off the bed.
What happened she asked? Well to be honest I wasn't going to go with the guys after work but I thought it wouldn't be a problem as we finished early. We started talking and then all of a sudden I looked at my watch and realized it was so late. I have not excuse I should have come home right after work. Sean you are doing me and my parents a favour by having me here but it just would have been nice to know you were not going to be home on time so I could have delayed dinner.
I saw you did a very nice job setting the table. Candles it must have looked beautiful. It was said Katie. I even had a glass of wine poured for you. I wanted it to be perfect. I know sweetie. How about this, we will go to the restaurant and meet my friends and then we can come home and I will have dinner with you. I ate dinner said Katie, I couldn't let the food go to waste. Oh well can we heat up any leftovers asked Sean? I guess so said Katie. Then that is what I will do I want to eat your wonderful dinner. I am sure I missed a wonderful meal.
Did you eat anything while you were at the restaurant asked Katie? No we just had a pint. Katie brushed her hair and put on some lip gloss and they apparated to the restaurant.
When he walked up to his friends holding Katie's hand they guys looked at them funny. Guys this is Katie Robinson. Katie these are my friends. This is Jeffery, David and Daniel. Katie said hello to the three men and sat down beside Sean. Jeffery who thought himself a joker asked in what department Katie worked knowing full well that she was younger than Sean. I don't work at the ministry said Katie. My dad does though. He is an auror. Your dad is Auror Robinson asked Daniel? Yes he is said Katie. Do you have an older brother asked Daniel? Yes I do why do you ask? I went to school with your brother he said. I thought his little sister was younger than you. He said that she was just a little kid. Katie blushed. So you went to Casa Loma asked Katie? Yes I graduated last year with Bill. So are you going into seventh year he asked? No said Katie blushing. So what year are you going into he asked? Katie looked up and said clearly I will be going into Third year in September. They all looked at Sean. She is only twelve years old exclaimed Jeffery. No said Katie I will be fourteen in September. I had to wait an extra year to start Hogwarts she said. The guys didn't say much after that. All they did was look at her funny. This made Katie feel uncomfortable. After a few minutes she asked Sean if they could please leave. When he looked at her he could see that there were tears in her eyes. Sean excused them and they left the restaurant.
What is wrong he asked when they got outside? They were all looking at me funny. They wouldn't speak to me and they stared at me as if I was some kind of freak. I am so sorry said Sean. We don't need to spend anytime with them anymore. I will speak to them; they should not treat you like that. You were my guest and they should have treated you justly. It doesn't matter said Katie lets just go home. Sean wrapped his arms around Katie and apparated them back home.
When they arrived back in Sean's apartment Sean took Katie into his arms and gave her a hug. I am so sorry that they upset you he said sincerely. What is wrong with your friends she asked? They all seem to think they can treat me badly. What would they do I had done the same thing? The friends you had at school called me names and made fun of me and these friends just sat and stared at me. Is there something wrong with me, I tried to talk to them but they didn't seem to feel I was good enough to even acknowledge. Again sweetie I do apologise said Sean.
Now you on the other hand are also in some trouble. Do you know how scared I was that something had happened to you? There are death eaters out there. I was stuck here and I don't even know where here is. What if there was an emergency? How would I get help as I can't tell anyone where I am? Sean looked at Katie in amazement. You are right he said. I did sort of leave you here trapped. I just haven't had the chance to set up my floo connection. Well could you do that now said Katie? Please so if I want to go out somewhere I can. Where would you want to go he asked? I don't know maybe to your moms for a swim or a visit or even maybe to see Luna. She would be home from her vacation by now.
Alright said Sean. Now you know that you can't tell anyone the floo address or all the work I have done will be for nothing. Yes Sean I know that. Once I am done I will let my parents and your parents know the address if they need it. Alright said Katie going into the kitchen.
Where are you going asked Sean? I have to warm up your dinner. I made a plate for you and I am just going to put it in the microwave. I am surprised you have a microwave here said Katie as she punched in the time required. Well I think the building was adapted because there are both magical and muggles living in the building. So there had to be a way to use regular muggle appliances. It made cooking for me easier. I just put the food in the microwave and punched in the time suggested.
Well we are going to have to teach you how to make some simple dishes said Katie as she placed the plate of food down in front of Sean. What would you like to drink she asked? I would love a glass of wine if you don't mind Sean asked? Katie took the bottle off the counter and picked up a glass and walked over to Sean and poured him a glass of red wine. Thank you so much Katie he said.
Sean started to eat and was amazed at how good a cook Katie was. Sweetie this is wonderful he said between bites. I had no idea you were such a good cook. Katie blushed at hearing this. Well mommy taught me how to cook and she said I just had a talent for it. She said I am a better cook than she is. She claims it is the muggle in me that allows me to cook so well said Katie chuckling. Either that or the house elf in you. Katie looked confused at this statement. I was referring to your ability to pop from home to me said Sean. Oh yeah I guess she said.
After Sean finished his dinner they decided to watch some television. They found a station from Toronto on the satellite and this excited Katie. I can't believe I can watch a channel from Toronto here in London. It was afternoon programming as there was a five hour time difference between London and Toronto.
Soon it was time to head off to bed. Seam what do you want for lunch tomorrow asked Katie? Well I loved what you made for me today so the same sort of thing would be wonderful. Oh by the way the address for the floo is Sean's Sanctuary. Oh said Katie. You don't like that what would you have recommended asked Sean? Oh I don't know maybe Sean and Katie's place she said smiling. Or I have a better one she said how about Gryffindor rules!! Sorry but I can't lie Gryffindor does not rule. Yes it does, there is a Gryffindor room in this apartment but there is no Ravenclaw room. It is all a Ravenclaw room except for your room. Everything else is Ravenclaw through and through. You wish said Katie as she went into her room. Don't I get a good night kiss asked Sean putting on a sad puppy dog face? Alright said Katie and she went up on her toes and kissed him. There you go good night she said. Good night my love responded Sean.
a/n Well boys will be boys. Let me know what you think. These are the times that we can see their relationship grow and/or change. Please review. Thank you for reading my story.
