Chapter 5: Always
She sat there. Smiling. Wondering who would be the first to say something. The whole room was silent except for the occasional sniff coming from Sirius who was beginning to sob. Charlie seemed to get the concept that it was really her and ran to embrace her. She quickly threw her arms around him. They pulled their faces inches apart and looked into each other's eyes. Both their eyes beginning to fill with tears. "It's really you." He said. "It's really me." She said. together, almost as if reading the other's mind, they closed the 3 inches between their faces and kissed.
It wasn't a very long kiss. Just an 'O-my-God-I-love-you-with-all-my-heart-and-soul' type kiss. It only lasted 3 minutes. For them it was a very short kiss.
When Charlie finally, and reluctantly, let go of her Sirius embraced her. "You're my freedom. You're my freedom and my Goddaughter. You look just like your mother, but, you have your father's eyes." He said smiling.
"I can't tell you how many times I have heard that in the past few months alone." She said. He kissed her forehead, backed away, and motioned for her to walk over and talk to Harry. "Harry," Sirius said, "I know you aren't going to remember anything about Katerina, but this is your sister. Katerina Potter." He said. "What?!?!" came Harry, Ginny, and Ron's response at the same moment. Tears welled in her eyes. "The last time I saw you, you were in diapers." She choked out, putting her hand over her mouth. Ginny walked over to Kat. "Hello, Miss Potter, ma'am. I'm Harry's friend, Ginny. It's a pleasure to- Oof." Fred and George pushed her aside. "Fred-" Fred said. "And George-" George said. "Weasley at your service. We just started our 5th year and if you ever are in need of a joke or a laugh-" they both said. "Or a wedding clown-" George added. "We'll be at your service." They finished. Kat looked down at them. For 15 they were pretty tall.
"I'll keep that in mind." She said looking at them nervously. She walked closer to Harry. He fell back into a chair and closed his eyes. As if trying to remember her.
***Harry's Vision***
"Mom can I hold him?" Katerina said. "She's 16 years old and she cares about her brother. My heartm stopped call an ambulance." James Potter laughed. Lily laughed gently at her lover's remark and handed the small black-haired bundle to Katerina. "You need the practice. You and Charlie will be planning kids a week after grduation." James laughed. "I had to marry the troublemaker." Lily replied. "Yup. And you love him with all your heart, doncha?" He said. katerina just realizing what her father meant laughed and said, "I don't think I'll be in that much of a hurry."
***End Harry's Vision***
"I remember you. I remember when you asked to hold me. I remember dad saying that you and Charlie would have kids someday." Harry said in a comatose manner. "I remember that conversation all to well." She looked back at Charlie who was giving her a questioning look. She laughed at him. Harry jumped up and hugged his sister. Remembering the feel of her holding him like something precious. But he realized he was precious to her.
"Why didn't you come back?" Sirius asked. She explained thinking Harry was dead and not wanting to explain everything and how Mrs. Green had taken her in and when she was old enough to leave she offered to stay. She answered Harry's questions about their parents.
When all was over Charlie took Katerina out back so they could talk alone for a while. With a little reluctancy she finally let go of her brother and was covered again by Charlie's arms.
"My God…you're here!" He said. "I'm here." She said. "Always?" He asked. "I'm your's." She said. "Of course I'd have to share you with your brother and Sirius…" He said. "Well yeah. But I'll always be your lover." She said. He kissed her forehead. "Always." She murmered into his neck. "Are you sure you aren't a ghost, Kat?" He said smiling into her hair. "I'm sure."
