Laying in bed, Catina rested on Fred's chest. She fiddled with the button of his shirt and sighed. He glanced down at her, raising his eyebrows as his rubbed her back. "Penny for your thoughts?"

"I hate not getting on with your mother. She does seem like a lovely woman and like I said everyone praises her. I just don't see it. I want to get on with your mother, for your sake if any. But I suppose it's life really, isn't it? I doubt you'd ever get on with Bella and you'd probably think she's an awful person but I don't. I think she's lovely. Perception is a crazy thing, huh?"

Fred nodded his head, "give mum some time to settle, I honestly have no idea why she is acting the way she is. It's unusual. I promise you she will grow to love you. I don't understand how she doesn't already."

Catina snorted and buried her head into the crook of his neck, nuzzling in close and her breath sent shivers down his spine. "I'm sorry."

"Don't apologise. You have nothing to be sorry for."

"But I spoke to her so badly. I shouldn't have gotten so angry. I should have just given her the locket."

"No. You stand by your words. She'll come around soon." He said, "now, can I get a kiss since my twat of a brother keeps stealing you. I don't like that by the way. I love you, you're mine and not Bill's."

"Woah, woah, woah, calm down. I'm not an object."

"I know, but I don't want anyone stealing you from me. You're my kitten."

"I'm a wolf, darling."

"You'll always be a kitten to me. Even on your howling nights. About that- considering you now have your little girly monthlies... how will you have babies if you transform on a full moon?"

Catina pressed her hands over his mouth. "No baby talk. Me sleep." She shut her eyes and started to pretend to snore.

Fred snickered and lifted her off of him. He laid her on the bed beside him and crawled on top of her. "I dunno, babies are very cute..." he trailed off, his fingers dancing over her stomach, lifting her shirt ever so slightly.

"Hell no. One because of the... leakage I currently have going on. Two, because I'm not having nothing inside of me, thank you very much. And three, I'm not going to be a mother in the next year. I'd rather swallow bloo- no I wouldn't." She said cringing, dragging Fred down to lay on her chest and cuddled up with him. "Gimme snuggles."

"Why don't you ask Bill?"

"Don't tempt me, Ginge, I'm a hormonal wreck at the moment and I'll take any snuggles I can get."

"Mine!"

The couple didn't take long before they were in a deep sleep. Deep enough to not hear the window slide open in the living room and a person clamber in.

Fred had rolled off of Catina and curled up, cradling the duvet with his back to her. She didn't notice, obviously, the smell of Fred still pungent from the duvet and the pyjamas she borrowed of his.

The person creeped around the flat, searching for anyone who maybe awake. Juno was the first up, alarmed and prowling to see who it was. The person came face to face with the cat and raised their finger to their lips. Juno shook his head and ran back to his bed to cuddle up in its softness. Continuing on the search, the person pushed open the last door slowly, it creaked momentarily but that didn't stop them as they took three large steps towards the bed, on Catina's side. They slapped their hand across her mouth, startling her awake.

"Shhh!" They hushed and waggled thief finger for her to follow them. She gently pushed back the duvet and slipped out, following them out of the bedroom. However, she pressed a short kiss to Fred's forehead before doing so.

In the living room she pounced on them, wrapping herself around them. "What are you doing here? How did you know I was here?" She asked them, brushing their hair back which has stuck to their forehead.

"I came for you. It didn't take a lot of guessing."

"Prop, I've missed you so much."

Prosper collapsed in Catina's arms. The feeling of her warmth enveloped him and sent him a wave of comfort. "Come home with me. I don't want to lose you again."

"Prop..."

"Tee, Lulu spoke to the Weasley girl, she told me everything that was said. You won't get moved here, there and everywhere with me. You can still see everyone but you'll have a stable home. Dad, said for me to find you. Please, Tee."

Prosper hasn't spoken so much in one go before and his voice was cracking. He never had much emotion in his voice but Catina could sense his fear and sincerity. "I dunno..."

"Please."

He took her hand and placed her hand over his heart. It all made sense. The heart locket was from Prosper, he always told her his heart beat for the both of them, when times felt tough for Catina he would help her live again. Would look after her. Comfort her. How she didn't put two and two together she didn't know. They were two peas in a pod, bound by the heart. Fed up of running, she knew what she had to do.

"Let me grab my stuff."
