Finally Easter arrived and Katie was packing to go home for the week. She missed her parents but missed Sean too.
Luna and Katie rode together on the train as the rest of the group had decided to stay at Hogwarts for the holiday.
I wonder why they all stayed at school asked Luna as they sat on the train. Ronald said that Harry was looking for something but wouldn't tell me what it was commented Luna. Have you noticed that harry has been walking around as if he has Nargles floating around in his head commented Luna. I have noticed that he seems concerned about something but he always seems concerned about things said Katie.
I am concerned about Draco though. He is still acting strange. That is what Ron said too. What do you think is going on with him asked Luna? I don't know commented Katie. I just can't wait to get home so I can see my parents said Katie. And Sean added Luna. Yes and Sean. I haven't seen him since Christmas. It will be a relief to get away from the tension that seems to be in the air at school.
Soon they started to see some familiar things. We are almost home commented Katie. She and Luna got up and started to pull things together in preparation to get off the train.
When the train stopped Katie got in front and grabbed onto the handles of both trunks as Luna picked up the handles on the back of the trunks and they walked down the aisle towards the door to get off the train. I wonder who is here to pick me up commented Katie as she got to the steps off the train.
Just as she arrived a familiar voice was heard. Katie's first instinct was to just drop the trunk and run but he remembered that Luna was on the other end of the trunks so she just exclaimed 'Sean"!
Sean was standing on the platform waiting on the train and he was happy to know that his Katie was on her way home. His auror training had him on alert so he was watching any and everyone who was also waiting on the platform.
Soon he could hear the train approaching. He turned and smiled when he saw the puffs of smoke from the bright red engine of the Hogwarts Express. Katie was home he thought. When the train stopped Sean started to look up and down the train for a familiar face. He saw her and walked quickly towards the train car she was on.
Sean she exclaimed when she saw him. Sean smiled and reached out for her trunk only to find she has two trunks in her hands. He helped her down the stairs and took the trunks from Luna's grasp putting them on a trolley. Once the trunks were on the trolley he pulled Katie into a hug. Oh Sean I have missed you so much said Katie hugging Sean. I have missed you too he responded. Luna just stood there until the two of them had finished their embrace.
A moment later Sean realized that Luna was just standing there and released Katie. How are you doing he asked Luna? I am doing well Luna responded. What do you have planed for this week asked Sean? I am not sure, daddy and I usually go away somewhere but he had not told me where we will be going.
Well I guess we should be on our way said Sean and he took Katie's hand and they walked towards the barrier to King's Cross.
Once they got through the barrier Katie started to look around. Is mommy here she asked Sean? Yes she should be. She contacted me and asked that I come as she was not sure if she would be able to get away in time. The train was a little late so she should be here. While Sean and Katie were talking Luna was scanning the crowd for her father. As it turned out Mr. Lovegood and Katie's mom were waiting close together so they walked together towards the parents.
When they got close both girls ran towards their parent hugging them. Oh daddy I have missed you so much said Luna as her father pulled her in for a hug. Katie hugged her mother also expressing how she had missed her mom. Sean just smiled as he watched the girls and their parents embrace.
Soon Katie was back at Sean's side. Are you coming home with us she asked Sean? Well I don't know said Sean embarrassed. Mommy Sean is welcome to come home with us isn't he she asked? Of course said Mrs. Robinson. Good said Katie smiling.
Katie gave Luna a hug and wished her a wonderful week, promising to meet her back here at the end of the holiday. Luna walked off with her father and Katie, Sean and her mother headed off to the car. Sean started to chuckle as they approached the car. What is so funny asked Katie? Nothing really it is just funny that your family still use cars when you could apparate or floo where you need to go said Sean. Mrs. Robinson heard this and turned to Sean. I guess we still use the car because of our schedules. I work strange shifts and I guess I am just used to driving where I want to go. It makes carrying large amounts or heavy items easier. Anyway doesn't the ministry use cars asked Mrs. Robinson? I guess you are right said Sean as he got into the car.
Katie got into the car and snuggles up beside Sean before her mother scooted her back to her side of the car. Katie scowled at her mother as she moved over to the other side of the car reaching out to take Sean's hand.
When they arrived at the Robinson's Sean went to the trunk of the car and lifted out Katie's trunk and began to walk with it to the side door. I can help with that said Katie. No it is ok I can manage said Sean walking into the house. When he arrived inside the house he levitated the trunk up to Katie's room. Thank you said Katie when he came down stairs. No problem said Sean as he kissed the top of her head.
Sean would you like something to eat asked Katie? No sweetie I am fine right now. Mommy when will daddy be home asked Katie? He is on evenings today so he won't be home until late why she asked? Well I was wondering if Sean could stay for dinner commented Katie. Sean is always welcome to stay for dinner said Mrs. Robinson smiling. Katie grinned and looked towards Sean. Well are you going to stay for dinner she asked? I would be honoured to have dinner with two lovely women so yes I will stay for dinner. Oh good said Katie cuddling up with Sean.
Mommy do we have time for a walk before dinner asked Katie? I guess so; dinner will be in about an hour. That is perfect said Katie. Sean will you go for a walk with me? Sean just smiled yes I would love to go for a walk with you. We haven't had a walk for quite a while have we he said. No not since Christmas and I miss it. Mrs. Robinson knew that Katie liked to go for walks but was not comfortable Katie going on her own so she was happy that Katie would be going with Sean.
Katie picked up her coat and handed Sean his coat and opened the door. Sean followed her out the door making sure to close the door on his way out. As soon as they reached the sidewalk Katie had grasped Sean's hand and smiled. This is what I missed so much she commented looking up at him. I feel so safe just holding your hand. I would try going for walks at school but I always seemed to find myself reaching out for you and when I didn't find you there I just got sad so I went back into the castle.
Sean was torn hearing this. He was touched that Katie missed him so much but he didn't want her to be so sad. She had four more years of school before graduation. Sean realized that as he was still in training he could arrange to have Hogsmeade weekends off but as soon as he was finished he might be sent on an assignment and not be able to go. He didn't want Katie to be so sad.
Sweetie you shouldn't be so sad that I am not there. You know I love you and am always thinking about you. Yes responded Katie. Well then how about this. Every time you are feeling sad just remind yourself that I am thinking about you and loving you so much. Katie smiled and reached up to give him a hug. I love you so much she said kissing his cheek.
Once this was dealt with they enjoyed their walk. As they were returning to the Robinson's house they met up with a couple of the girls Katie had gone to school with when she first arrived in London. Katie is that you asked one of the girls? Debbie is that you said Katie as she gave the girl a hug. It has been so long since I have seen you she commented. How are you guys doing she asked? Fine they responded. Just then they noticed Sean. And who is this they asked Katie? This is Sean I am sure you met him before haven't you?
Sean I am sure you have met these girls but if not this is Debbie and this is Melissa we went to school together when I first arrived in London before is started at Hogwarts. Yes I am sure I have met them said Sean smiling.
Hogwarts I always found that the strangest name for a school. I tried looking it up but couldn't find any references. Where is it located again asked Melissa? In Scotland said Katie. It is a very private school. Not many students. So Sean you go to school with Katie don't you Debbie asked? I did said Sean. I have graduated and now am working. Oh what do you do she asked? I am training to be a police officer Sean said. Oh really do you enjoy that she asked? It is very interesting responded Sean.
There have been some strange things happening the last year or so said Debbie. I heard about that lady who was killed in a room that locked from the inside how could that happen she asked? We are not sure said Sean. I heard about that too.
Katie looked at her watch and noticed that she and Sean had to get home for dinner. I am sorry but my mom is expecting us home for dinner said Katie. It was great seeing you. I hope to see you during the summer when I get home from school. We should meet up and go shopping or something. We will said Melissa. See you.
As Katie and Sean started back towards her house they started to talk about meeting her friends from school. I forgot that the story about Madam Bones was in the muggle papers said Katie. It caught be by surprise too commented Sean.
Sean and Katie returned to the Robinson's house and had a lovely dinner. Afterwards the three of them sat and watched a movie. When the movie was over Sean looked down to find Katie fast asleep with her head on his shoulder. Well it seems we have a sleepy girl commented her mother. If you want I can carry her upstairs said Sean. No I will wake her and send her off to bed. She will want to say goodnight if I know her.
Sean shook Katie's shoulder and whispered her name. She soon opened her eyes and looked up at Sean's smiling face. Oh no I did it again didn't I she asked? I seem to have that effect on you said Sean chuckling. It is just that I feel so comfortable with you said Katie.
Well sweetie I have to get home said Sean getting up from the couch. Alright said Katie also getting up. Are you working tomorrow she asked Sean? No, I have the weekend off responded Sean. Katie looked at her mother. Mommy do we have any plans for tomorrow she asked? Not really said Mrs. Robinson. Just some shopping for dinner on Sunday is all. Alright well how about we go shopping in the morning and then I can spend the afternoon with Sean, would that be ok she asked? Mrs. Robinson smiled that would be fine I really appreciate your help tomorrow.
She looked over at Sean and asked if he would be free tomorrow afternoon. Well I was planning on going somewhere tomorrow but you can come with me if you want. Where is that she asked? To mom and dad's said Sean. That would be wonderful said Katie excitedly. I haven't seen mom and dad since Christmas. Would that be ok she asked her mother? Sounds wonderful, I am sure Mrs. Sullivan would be glad to see you. Thanks mommy she said hugging her.
She then turned to Sean and took his hand. She then leaned up and gave him a big hug. Good night she said as she kissed his cheek. She didn't really want to kiss him properly in front of her mother. He kissed her back on the cheek and told her he would see her tomorrow afternoon. He then turned and apparated away home.
Time for bed young lady said her mother. Thank you for letting Sean stay for the movie and for dinner she said to her mother as she hugged her good night. He is very special to you and I know you miss him very much. I do and I know we don't have a lot of time together now that I am at school so I appreciate you sharing me with Sean. You really love him don't you asked Mrs. Robinson. Katie teared up at the question. Oh mommy I love him so much and miss him so much while I am at school. I am glad you have someone to love and I know he loves you too. I can tell from the way he looks at you and the way his is with you. You have a very special man there said Mrs. Robinson. I know responded Katie. Good night mommy said Katie as she walked up the stairs to bed.
a/n no I am not dead. Here is the next installment of Sean and Katie I hope you enjoy it. I have been editing my next story that was written before either of the last two. Please review and let me know what you think.
