A young woman appeared. She was almost painfully beautiful, with the same large blue eyes of Rose, and long, sleek, jet-black hair. She stood about 5’6 and had a small, wicked smile gracing her perfect features. On her hip rested a small boy, about two years old, and she was holding two children about four years old by the hand. On her other hip was little Teddy, his hair changing colors excitedly. The toddler boy had jet-black hair, and was thin and lanky. His beetle-black eyes stared out at the world from a thin face- he was, in fact, the spitting image of Severus Snape, except for one thing- his nose was most decidedly Rose’s. The four-year-old twins were what Harry imagined Rose and Remus to have looked like at that age- small and slightly chubby with sandy hair and greenish eyes. The boy was definitely exactly like Remus, so much in fact that it was painful. The girl, or young woman, Harry corrected himself, as she looked to be at least two years older than him. She was most decidedly Sirius’s daughter, as well, and the image was finished off with her mischievous smirk and flawless features. He realized with a shock that this house should have been hers, and shrank behind George with a deep feeling of guilt. George was clearly without those feelings of guilt Harry possessed, however. He pulled Harry in the girl’s direction.

Meanwhile, Molly and Rose continued their argument. However, George seemed to have only one objective- talk to Katerina Black. He pushed Harry forward.

“Uh, hi” he began

“Hello” she answered, almost coldly. She raised one eyebrow, and Harry was once again struck by her resemblance to her father.

“We’re so sorry about your loss” said George in a low, slow voice

She allowed herself a flicker of a smile that was every inch the young Snape Harry had seen in the pensive, and said, with a slight incline of her head “And I about yours, Mr. Weasley”

“Please. Mr. Weasley is my father. Call me George, One-Ear George, or Saint George, whichever you prefer. And you are?”

“Why Saint- oh. Holy. Your ear is missing. Clever.” Harry could almost hear Fred's groans. She laughed, putting down the small ones so she could jokingly shake George’s hand. “Well, One-Ear George, I’m Katerina Black, but no one calls me that other than my mother, and then only when she is mad. Just Kat will do nicely”

“Well, Just Kat, I’ll see you around?”

She once again smiled her Snape smile and answered “We’ll see about that”

Her mother glared at her, noticing her for the first time. “Katerina Rosella, what were you thinking, taking your siblings side along! You all could have been splinched!”

She grinned, exactly as Sirius used to “Well, mum, I couldn’t leave them, could I?”

Her mother looked furious. Kat grinned again “Mum, we’re all safe and sound, and I’m not missing my nose, so introduce me, and the littles to these nice, red headed people. Well, at least most of them are red headed.”

George laughed a thing he had not done since Fred’s death. Rose shot him a look.” That isn’t the point! You-“

“Are ever so clever for taking four people side along and not splinching? Why, thank you, mom! How very kind. But, seriously, mum, I understand that you’re mad, but now alls well that ends well, right?”

Her mother smiled grimly “You sound like your father. And no, that is not always a good thing. But, Molly, I’m begging you. They aren’t all like Kat. I promise.”

Molly smiled “I know how Kat is. I raised her for four years.”

“I couldn’t take care of her. I was in Azkaban. And Remus couldn’t watch her, now could he?”

Molly nodded “I grant you that. But I will agree to watch them under one condition…”
