Chapter 5: Jealous

After stepping out of Hogwarts Grounds William took Katherine and the children to Diagon Alley. Apparently he thought it better than Hogsmeade.

"Alright, I think first we should stop at Madam Maulkin's clothes store," said William as Katherine, he, and the children entered Diagon Alley.

"Hmmm... sounds lovely," Katherine nodded smiling as the lot walked towards the shop.

Inside they were greeted by Madam Maulkin herself and Katherine introduce herself as Katherine Harris; an aunt of Albus' twice removed.

Katherine picked out some robes with Isabella's help and she went into the changing booth. William and the little ones waited just out side of the changing area to see her.

"Grandpa…" chorused the children.

"Yes..." William asked pulling the children up onto the couch that he was sitting on.

"We really like her can't she be our grandma and not our grandma, now be our grandma," asked the children.

"Well...I…" stammered William because he was a bit confused to what the children had said and on realizing he didn't have anything to say to them but Katherine came to his rescue. Although it really wasn't a rescue because his sweating and stammering was becoming more prominent and Katherine definitely knew he was sweating to some extent because of her presence.

"So what do you think?" asked Katherine. She was stunning wearing a navy blue v-neck dress that went to mid-calf and gave a nice view of her cleavage but was still modest enough. It had a matching robe over it.

"I wish ...Guys..." whispered William.

"You look really pretty Ms. Katherine," said Frank.

"Awe... thank you, you little flirt," Katherine winked at Frank. She kissed the little boy on the cheek and tickled him simultaneously.

"Stop please," giggled Frank. Isabella laughed and sadly noted Celina would never play with them like this.

Katherine chose a few more robes and muggles clothes to try on. Each time William had great trouble controlling himself and wondered how in Merlin's name a woman that was apparently much older then he and Celina looked so damn good!?

5 minutes later.......

"Is that all madam," the sales girl asked Katherine; who nodded.

"That will be 180 galleons madam," the salesgirl replied as Katherine smiled and fidgeted with her cloak pockets but couldn't find her purse.

"Oh dear I've left my purse at Hogwarts," Katherine sighed.

"First rule when you're out with me... you don't need money. Especially you Kat you're …well you're some McGonagall's wife right..." said William cheerfully.

"Thank you William that was really kind of you," said Katherine kissing William's cheek. But William decided to turn to face her and say something at the same moment and their lips met as both the kids shouted,

"EEWWWW," and Frank started a rant about girls having coodies while Isabella opposed him.

2 minutes later......

Katherine was surprised to what had just happened and what was happening now. Although she couldn't deny she liked the feeling. She really missed Damien and wanted someone to hold her. She thought she may even have some feelings for William; but she couldn't believe he kissed her and she kissed back and now they were walking down the street to the ice-cream parlor holding each other's hands. They made a promise though that they wouldn't tell any one about today's events.

In the evening

Katherine seemed to be in an extra happy mood and so was William and the children were acting extra strange around Celina. It put Celina on high alert that there was something fishy and she was sure that something had happened at Diagon Alley earlier today and she was going to find out what. She decided to approach Katherine but it was then Minerva went ecstatic and started shouting like crazy.

"The baby just kicked …for the first time!!" shouted Minerva happily as she walked towards Albus and sat next to him. He put an arm around her as the family started to gather around Minerva.

Katherine and William entered the room together; Katherine straightening her new skirt and William smiling and running a hand down his scanty hair. Celina definitely had a doubt now but the baby kicking her daughter was more important to her at the moment.

"Oh wonderful!" Katherine squealed placing a french manicured hand on the woman's stomach. A gasp went around the room and Minerva looked slightly frightened seeing her stomach glowing.

"What are you doing to my child!?" Celina screeched pushing Katherine away.

"Katherine what was that?" Albus asked standing and approaching the woman that was rubbing her hands nervously.

"It...it wasn't anything bad Albus...I'm a trained surgeon and midwife. I've delivered all of my grandchildren and several other of the pureblood families children in my world. I was just sensing if the babies were healthy," Katherine said quietly.

"Babies?" Minerva asked struggling to her feet and approaching them.

Katherine nodded and smiled a mothering smile as she cupped Minerva's face. "Twins...both beautifully healthy."

Minerva smiled and held the woman's hands to her face.

Celina's eyes narrowed as everyone surrounded Katherine interested in her special powers.

"This will not do," she said softly to herself.
