A/N: I DO NOT own the Harry Potter series. That honour belongs to J.K. Rowling. I only own the plot and original characters. Some of the characters will be OOC (Nice Dursleys [Wizard (and not Obese) Dudley]), Free Sirius, non-Supremacist Malfoys, Lestranges, and most of the death-eater families, Good Voldemort).

July 1- Isle Riordan

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted

After waking up and getting dressed, Katelyn exited the house with a bag across her shoulder before sprinting away from the scene. As she was running her skin transformed into a snow-white fur as her hands and feet became paws, and she was on all fours, sprinting like the wind.

As the wolf Princess made her way to the opposite end of the island, she felt the weightlifting from her body. At the moment, she wasn't the leader of her pack, a bestselling indie author, or even the Potions Master's daughter. She was just Katelyn Snape, and that was all that mattered.

Making her way to the river, the white wolf immediately returned to the petite brunette decked out in a galaxy print sports bra and matching leggings with a bag slung across her shoulder. Revelling in the gurgling melody of the water, Katelyn took the yoga mat out of her bag and started practising.

Back at the villa, Mia was in the kitchen about to start a pot of coffee when she heard sounds of a bedpost banging in her parents' room along with the orgasmic melody playing to the beat.

"Damn," Mia laughed. "They must be enjoying themselves."

"Sounds like it!"

Turning around, the blonde saw her older sister entering the kitchen carrying her breast-suckling baby in her arms. Chloe sat at the table wearing nothing but a silk robe and jolting with a gasp.

"You're still experiencing the aftershocks?" Mia laughed.

The young mother just rolled her eyes as her baby continued to feed. "You should know, Mimi! Dad had you the night before and you were still feeling it until noon yesterday."

"You think our little princess will be spared tonight, since he's fucking mom now?"

Chloe shook her head. "He said he's planning on making Katelyn pay for running off every morning and returning naked and smelling like a crisp spring morning."

"Not like he didn't like it. I was surprised he didn't drag her to a nearby bed the minute she walked in the door."

"Oh, I think he's planning to today," the sisters turned to see Lucius standing there with an eyebrow raised and hands on his hips.

Draco followed suit a few seconds later followed by Becky and Narcissa. The Snape girls raised their eyebrows at Becky, who was decked out in a green high-neck dress that flowed to her ankles and black boots. Her hair was pinned in a wavy updo with a strand loose on both sides while her ears, neck, and wrists were adorned with silver jewellery fused with blue topaz.

Becky's face grew red at the sisters' stares, "Mom raided my wardrobe while I was sparring with Draco."

"Good thing I did," Narcissa said, sitting next to Mia. "We're going to Diagon Alley and she needs to look respectable as a Malfoy should."

"Well, in my defence, I've been to Diagon Alley when visiting Harry and Annie. There are witches who wanted to know where I got my clothes or shoes."

"That was when you were a Braddock, sweetheart," Lucius placed his hands on Becky's shoulders. "You're a Malfoy, now! You're beautiful without the tight clothes and showing skin."

Draco just laughed, "You just don't want to have to curse other men for ogling her, father." he rolled his eyes before looking around with a puzzled look. "Hey, where is Kate? She should be down here with you."

"Our wolf princess left early this morning to soak up some sunshine," Chloe chuckled as she was playing with Carly. "Back at Dahlia's, she and Harry were up earlier than everyone else to exercise and shower in the river. Dahlia would magically transport their meals to them, so they'd have eaten before training. We'd even join them sometimes if we felt like it."

"I understand. I've done it myself until father and Aunt Bella restricted it."

The older blonde placed his hands on Draco's shoulders. "For your protection, son," he firmly stated. "Being a Malfoy makes you a target, along with your sister. And I have accompanied you on your excursions to the mountain ridges to exert yourself."

"You, mother, Aunt Bella, and Uncle Rodophus," Draco laughed as allowed his father to hug him. "And who could forget Uncle Rab and Barty?"

"We're a family, nephew. We're always here to help you!"

Everyone turned to see Bellatrix walking in with Ara and Violet, followed by another girl a little shorter than the matriarch but taller than the girls. Her curly hair was as black as Bellatrix's without the white strand and flowed past her shoulders if straightened.

Seeing the girl caused Mia's eyes to widen, "Bianca?" she gasped. "I thought you were in Uganda."

The ravenette shook her head. "When I heard your sisters were back, I wanted to drop in and play catch up with Katelyn and meet the new girl," she turned to Chloe. "Are you sure you're not Haley's? You, Kate, and Mia have the same blue eyes."

"My mom's eyes were blue," Chloe laughed. "So, I think I got my eyes from her and my grandma."

"My mother's eyes were also blue and so is Haley's father, as you already know, Bianca."

Everyone laughed to see Severus and Haley entering the room and sitting at the table, both of them looked like they were in a hurry to clean themselves up.

"You said that Katelyn ran off again?" Severus asked before rolling his eyes. "I really need to talk to her about that."

"She's an outdoors person, dad!" Chloe laughed. "If she's not training, studying, or writing, then she's either hiking, running, yoga, or climbing. Hell, she even slept outside so she could stargaze without interference."

Haley just shook her head with a smile, "She always loved being outdoors," she sighed. "Mother loved that she was the tomboy of the family, and she always loved fishing with dad."

"She always caught so many fish that we had to do a fish fry for the community," Mia added, taking Carly from Chloe. "Beer battered Fish and Chips? We had enough for thousands."

Rising from his seat, Severus cleared his throat before turning to Draco and Becky, "Can you track Katelyn's location?"

Closing his eyes, Draco took a deep breath and thought of his beloved. He then saw her finishing her yoga and shedding her clothing before letting down her hair and grabbing a bar of soap out of her bag.

"Well," Severus tapped his foot with crossed arms.

"She's by the river," Draco tried to hide a smile. "about to bathe in it."

That made the man in black apparate in a flash, leaving everyone else gaping their mouths.

At the river, Katelyn walked into the rushing water, letting the waves jolt her as they hit the lower half of her body. A river shower is just the thing to start her day after yoga. Being back home, this is one of the things she missed about being with Dahlia. There, she could leave her cottage before sunrise and run by the river to do yoga and shower in the river or lake before getting dressed to get breakfast.

The brunette submerged herself underwater to get wet and was about to lather up before the soap vanished from her hands, causing her to look to the shore and see her dad holding the item in his hand with a raised eyebrow as he unbuttoned his coat.

"Soap is dangerous to use in natural waters, Katelyn," he drawled, examining the offensive item. "You can't expect to get clean by this."

"One," Kate called the soap back. "the soap is charmed for harmful chemicals to be destroyed once it hits water and send body and hair shedding, dirt, and waste to Lake Natron to burn off. It also helps keep waters clean and crisp for wildlife."

Snape tossed his coat to the side before working on his tie and shirt, "Did Dahlia teach you to make soap like that?"

"We got the recipe from one of the grimoires of her previous student. It was really beneficial if we wanted to bathe in lakes and rivers. If you want to join me, I have another soap in my bag. Mint flavoured."

Nodding, he looked into her bag and grabbed the other soap before completely stripping down and running into the water himself. They spent a good amount of time washing themselves before soaping each other's back, laughing all the while and dunking themselves underwater to rinse. Kate's heart lifted upon seeing her dad having a laugh, knowing his childhood to be an unhappy one apart from being with Lily. She was just glad to see her dad laughing and smiling genuinely.

After their enjoyable river bath, father and daughter exited the water and dried themselves off before getting dressed. Snape, after using a cleaning charm to clean his clothes and underwear, redressed in his usual outfit. Kate put on a pink lace push up bra and matching thong before dressing in her grey Wellesley t-shirt and jean short shorts, followed by some white ankle socks and trainers.

"Those shorts barely cover your arse, daughter," he sang as he grabbed her bag.

"But very good for hot weather, dad," she pulled her hair into a messy bun before grabbing his hand.

He just rolled his eyes before apparating them in the kitchen, where they were met with gaping onlookers who were looking at Katelyn's attire.

Lucius was met with wands to his face by Draco, his wife and sister-in-law, Haley, and Bellatrix's daughters.

"Lucius," Severus stated, pulling his wand at the blonde man. "Please close your mouth before you catch flies. Katelyn dressing like this is nothing new."

The Malfoy patriarch sighed as he looked downward and pouted, "Yes, but…"

Snape and Haley then turned to their youngest with a pleading look.

"Fine," sighed Kate heading to her room, tears falling down her face. "I'll change into something else."

The women all followed Kate to her room, where they found her raiding her dresser drawer for a pair of bottoms.

"Sweetheart," Haley took her daughter's hands and sat them both on her bed, where the thirteen-year-old started bawling.

This caused her mother to pull Kate to her chest as the latter was sobbing her heart out. Seeing their niece like that melted Bellatrix and Narcissa's heart. Knowing how her sister was feeling, Mia joined her mother and twin and pulled the latter to her chest, rubbing her back.

"Sweetie," the blonde soothed. "Dad had me change my clothes too."

Kate looked up at her older twin with wide eyes, "When?"

"About a month ago," Mia wiped away her sister's tears. "Slytherin was throwing Draco a birthday party and dad wanted me to come stay over so I could tour the school the next day. I dressed in a similar dress you wore for Ara's wedding before you changed."

"The dress gram bought for you?" I sniffled. "It was longer than the dress I had for the wedding."

Haley just laughed, "And instead of a split in the front, it was a cowl neck," she added. "When your dad saw the dress on her, he demanded she get another outfit for the party."

"I ran towards the fireplace and flooed to our grandparents in tears," smiled Mia. "Gram comforted me while grandfather confronted my dad over the matter."

"I was already regretting my words to your sister," everyone turned to see Snape enter the fray and pull Katelyn off the bed, taking her into his arms. "but I was reacting out of fear. I don't want anyone thinking they're entitled to take advantage of you just because of the way you dress, even if they're family. No, I don't believe how you dress is to blame…"

"But being a father," Lucius added. "We tell you to change your clothes because it's easier for you to do that than to get a bunch of guys to behave."

Kate chuckled at that, "Sad, but true."

"Hey," Becky smiled, kissing Katelyn's forehead. "after you change clothes, how about we cook everyone breakfast? You have to be hungry after working out."

That was answered with a stomach growl, causing everyone to laugh.

Katelyn, Becky, and Chloe cooked an American breakfast full of bacon, sausage, hash brown patties (bought when they were in America), eggs, and white chocolate chip pancakes. Haley cut up some fruit while Ara made some juice.

"Girls," Narcissa took a bite of her egg. "this is really good. Thank you for cooking breakfast!"

Kate just nodded while swallowing a thing of bacon. "No problem! I think we've all been missing the pancakes and hash brown patties."

"Yeah," Chloe laughed. "Girl's night at Dahlia's or our places were a hoot. Takeaways in the night and breakfast in the morning."

"Also, a night full of dancing, binge watching, and just goofing around," Becky added, sipping her juice. "we need to have a girl's night before school starts."

The dads and Draco's eyes widened while the girls just laughed.

As mid-morning approached, the gang leisured outside for some air. The adults sat outside to talk and have tea while the kids scattered to do their own thing. Mia and Chloe were playing croquet with Violet and Becky while Kate ventured off in the woods.

Dressed in a simple light-blue dress with long sleeves and reaching her ankles, Katelyn happily ran through the meadow taking in the fragrance of the wildflowers as she fell to the ground panting.

Crossing her legs, the thirteen-year-old look to the skies and let her imagination run wild at the clouds, allowing her mind to change them into people or other objects. Laughing at the changing clouds, Katelyn suddenly stopped at the one looking like a campfire before closing her eyes as her mind flashed back to Easter holiday.

It was good Friday and she, Becky, and Paige returned to Dahlia's to spend some time with Annie and Harry. Harry had since apologised to Kate for his atrocious behaviour and while most of the tension was lifted, things were still awkward between them.

When Harry spotted the brunette entering the mead hall carrying a thing of white chocolate bunnies, he rose from his chair and picked her up bridal style after setting the box on the table. While Kate was more than happy to have Harry excited to see her, she still couldn't forget the hurt he caused her for four years that easily. It was going to take some time for them to reestablish the bond of friendship they once had before jealousy reared its ugly head.

"I really missed you, Kate," he kissed her cheek before pulling her close.

Feeling the tears streaming down her face, the brunette sobbed quietly as she returned his embrace, "I missed you too, Harry!" she whispered, kissing his cheek.

Later that night after dinner, they both went camping in the mountains upon Dahlia's suggestion to spend some time together without interference. They immediately smiled at this because they spent too many time camping alone since others couldn't keep up with them. So, after changing into a more comfortable dress and hiking boots (Harry, a lace-up shirt and loose trousers), they packed up some more clothes, non-perishables, fishing and hunting gear, and a tent and sleeping bags into their undetectable extension charmed backpacks before setting out.

As they climbed the mountain, the pair talked about school, classes, friendships formed, and horror stories. This lifted their estrangement significantly as they neared their destination and they arrived at the riverbank smiling at each other and holding hands.

When camp was set up, they made a campfire and roasted marshmallows while basking in the sounds of nature. Harry took out the graham crackers while Kate presented the various chocolates.

"So," Harry laughed as they were making their s'mores. "Peanut butter cups?"

Katelyn laughingly shook her head, "Cookies and Crème white chocolate?" she pointed at his creation.

"Don't knock it 'til you try it," he placed his s'more to her mouth. "Take a bite."

The brunette did the same with him. "You too!"

Both took a bite of each other's sandwich and admitted that they liked the concoction before eating their own and Harry taking a stick and beating a nearby rock with it. This, along with the animal concert, created a beat which caused Katelyn to rise to her feet and kicked off her shoes, happily dancing to the rhythm.

The brunette continued moving her body to the music, much to Harry's entertainment. Swaying her hips and arms to-and-fro and around, Katelyn allowed herself to be swayed by mother nature and her best friend for a few more minutes until Harry joined her, spinning around until they collapsed to the ground laughing.

Pulling themselves together, the pair sat up and silently stared at each other before Harry let out a sigh and took his alpha's hand.

"Katelyn," he took a deep breath. "I am so sorry for being a bitch to you for all these years. I let my jealousy nearly destroy our friendship."

"Harry, why did you hold a grudge against not being able to attend university at the same time?" her eyes watered. "You couldn't have been upset for four years over Harvard rejecting you."

"I don't think it was the rejection that angered me," he pulled her to his chest. "when I was applying to Harvard and you, Wellesley, I would imagine you taking the bus to see me or vice versa and we'd spend the day together. Of course, Paige, Annie, and Becky would also be included, but you're my best friend. I was more closer to you than them."

"You still could've seen me, Harry. You know that Dahlia looks the other way when we teleport off island as long as we return before nightfall. You could've seen me anytime, and I would've visited you in Bath. Hell, I visited you a few weeks ago when you called."

"I was just glad when you agreed to see me. I would've dropped to my knees and begged if I needed."

Katelyn just dried her eyes, "You did beg and plead on your knees for forgiveness," she laughed as she sat up and took his hand. "I slapped you twice and beat on your chest until I accepted your hug in tears."

Harry just nodded at that. He knew he deserved Katelyn beating him when he called her there to apologise for being a jackass; thus, he didn't put up fight when she struck but was glad when she forgave him. That day, though, Harry felt the weight disappear from his heart that had been there for years, and he vowed never to fail her again.

"A few more s'mores before we turn in for the night?" the brunette smiled up at him.

"Oh, fuck yeah!"

Shifting back to the present, Katelyn opened eyes to see her dad and Lucius sitting on each side of her, causing her to sit up.

"Your mother said you used to love running through the fields as a child," Snape smiled. "glad you still do."

"Thanks dad!" she laughed while smoothing out her dress. "Uncle Luce!"

"Katelyn," the man in black turned serious as he rubbed her back. "Why were you upset over being asked to change clothing?"

"Felt like you were blaming me for Uncle Luce's looks of lust towards me," she took a deep breath. "Like you were slut-shaming me."

Severus hung his head before taking a deep breath, "That wasn't anyone's intention, daughter," he tilted her head for eye contact. "I'm sure you read Lucius' mind. What were his thoughts toward you pertaining to your earlier outfit?"

The brunette's face flushed as she shifted her baby blues between her uncle and father before sighing. "He wanted to throw me down on the kitchen table, rip off my clothes, and fuck me to oblivion in front of everyone."

"I thought it was something like that," the Potions man took out his wand and shot a spell at the blonde, turning him into a white cockatiel.

Father and daughter both laughed at his attempt to look posh while trying to take flight. Struggling for a few minutes, Lucius finally managed to fly up to Katelyn's shoulder, cooing when she kissed his head. Severus then pulled Katelyn into a hug before leading her to where the other kids were still playing croquet.

Gemma's Condo

With Gemma at work for the day, Annie was finishing the touches on Hogwarts' designs with Izzy. The school governors approved their designs a few days prior, and Izzy and Annie are now completing the final products for Madame Malkin and the other tailors at the shop. When the girls bought Madam Malkin's (now called Annie and Izzy's), the two decided to keep the former owner on as a manager, along with the rest of the employees for more than decent pay.

With Taylor Swift filling the apartment, Annie had just finished the last mannequin and lined it up with the rest before she and Izzy shrunk them, placing them in a box before plopping down on the couch for a rest.

"You think the students will like their new uniforms?" Izzy asked, smiling at her business partner.

"I sent some sketches to some students in each house. Got positive feedback."

"That's good, and we also made t-shirts, sweaters, and zoodies that will display a student's house insignia and colour when he or she is sorted. I also noticed you made sweatsuits for Becky and your pack."

"Yeah, I thought it would be a great way to advertise them. Get other students' interest before mass producing them."

Izzy rose to her feet, "That's actually a good idea," she helped Annie off the couch and grabbed the box. "Madam Malkin and the tailors will want these if we're to start making them before August."

With that, the designer duo headed out the door and to Izzy's Ford Ecosport when Gemma's black Wrangler swerved to a stop right in front of them. The girls went up to the vehicle as the passenger window lowered, revealing Annie's mother and Amanda in the front.

"Diagon Alley?" Gemma asked, hands gripping the steering wheel, to which the designers nodded.

With the wave of her hand, Gemma had the doors to the back seat opened, and the girls climbed in.

"Okay," Gemma pulled onto the road and took off. "let's go!"

A few hours later at the Villa, lunch was around the corner and with Bring Me the Horizon playing throughout the kitchen, Katelyn and Draco were having a laugh while making four large bowls of tuna salad. Snape didn't want a repeat of the big lunch (especially Mexican, since he spent hours on and off the toilet), so Kate decided on making tuna salad since it was light on the stomach. It was one of her favourite study meals at university, and Draco's when she introduced the sandwiches to him. She then showed him how to make it, and he made it for his fellow Slytherins when they needed study snacks.

The minute they were finished making the food, Draco waved his hand to chill the salad before hugging his fiancé from behind.

"Are you feeling okay since this morning, Katelyn?"

"Yeah," she turned to face him. "I just thought my parents blamed me for your dad's pervy moment."

He shook his head as he pulled her into his arms, "We blame father alone for his pervy moment, little girl," he kissed her forehead. "maybe having to fly and eat bird food will teach him to keep his fantasies about you to himself."

"If only!"

Pulling apart, the blonde turned Katelyn around to remove the apron from her body and chuck it on the peg nearby. He then spun her to face him before grasping her shoulders.

"Why didn't you wear this the first-time round?"

"It was too hot, dragon! Hell, it's still a little humid for a wool dress partnered with a shift underneath and a belt fastened at the waist."

Draco just laughed, "Cooling charms are great for hot weather, little girl," he picked her up and sat her on the island counter. "Besides, father wasn't the only one thinking of shagging you senseless on the table."

"I know," she rolled her eyes. "You and dad both. Well, you wanted to spirit me to bed. He wanted to take me at the river."

Placing his hands at her waist, the blonde slid her off the counter and into a kiss, "Let's call the others in for lunch. I'm starved!"

Privet Drive

"That idiot did what?" Vernon and Petunia shouted.

The Dursleys' screams snaked up to Harry's room, sending chills down the kids' spines. Harry, Annie, and Dudley were sitting on his bed, the former shaking his head at Sirius' earlier actions.

"I can't believe Padfoot proposed to your mum like that," he was stroking Annie's hair. "he should know that was stupid."

Annie just snorted from his lap, "You're telling me? Until a week ago, they hadn't seen each other since that night at The Three Broomsticks. Whenever we went to see them, mom would go off somewhere. She only told us Sirius was my father at our fifth birthday party and that was after everyone left."

"That's messed up," Dudley said with a shake of his head. "you don't marry someone just because you have a kid by them anymore. This isn't the Dark Ages!"

"And they don't love each other like that. Yeah, they had sex a couple of times in the past week, but that's no reason to try and put a ring on it."

Suddenly, a loud crack filled the air followed by the man of the hour dressed in black jeans, red shirt, and biker jacket. His black hair was pulled back in a ponytail and feet clad in black boots adorned with chains. Turning around, the dog Marauder threw himself at his daughter and godsons, tears streaming his face.

A/N: Sorry, this took me so long, but I didn't know where I was going with this. I ended the chapter here because I didn't want the chapter to be too long. I know where I'm going now (in the next chapter, at least), so I believe the next chapter will be finished faster. Anyways, what houses do you think the characters should be put in? Let me know in the comments!
