"Mattyson Andromeda Harker! So help me Merlin if you do not get down here and park that broom this instant I will come up there and get you and there will be severe consequences young lady," Katalina yelled, very red faced and flustered. In her mind she realized just how much like her mother she sounded, a thought which made her shudder and chuckle all at the same time. As she stood there with arms crossed and foot tapping the brunette watched as a very miniature look alike cackled while lowering the children's broom she was riding. The tiny five year old crossed over to her and looked up at her with those emerald green eyes she got from her daddy, which almost broke Kat every time because she remembered a time when those same eyes could melt her heart with just one look. Luckily, she didn't break quite as easily anymore. "Yes, momma?" The former Gryffindor cocked her brow at Matty and held out her hand. "Give it back. And cut the crap because I know you have it," she said with a warning in her tone. Sheepishly the small girl reached around in her back pocket and produced a wand. "I wasn't gonna use it, momma. I was just gonna play pretend with it. Be just like you!" "And just like you she is," the young mother heard from behind her. "Alright kid, you're off the hook this time, but you know better than to play with my wand. We don't want a repeat of what happened last year," she said scooping her little one up and spinning her around. Matty was giggling and that was always sweet music to Katalina Harker's ears. She settled her daughter back on the ground before turning to her husband who was leaned against the doorframe with his cocky Slytherin smile stretched across his face. The brunette glared at him before sticking her tongue out. "You, Mr. Harker, are just a cauldron full of laughs today, aren't you? She's not lways just like me..." Chace cut her off before she could finish. "Kat, that kid is basically your clone. If it weren't for those devilishly good looking green eyes of hers then I'd swear she wasn't mine," he said with a smirk before kissing his love on the nose lightly. Katalina laughed as she playfully nudged her husband in the ribs. She caught sight of the time and sighed heavily. "I'm going to go now before it gets much later. I'd like to spend as much time there as I can since I missed going last year. I'll be back before dinner with our parents tonight, I promise!" The young man enveloped his bride in his arms. He knew this was always hard on her, but he also understood it was something that she needed to do and that she needed to do alone. "Take all the time you need. We'll be here when you get back. Tell her I said hello and that we all miss her. Maybe eventually you can take Mattyson to meet her." The lioness kissed her husband and daughter goodbye. She grabbed the amber colored bouquet of roses she'd had and apparated with a loud 'pop'.
She appeared just outside the gate. No amount of Gryffindor courage, past or present, was ever enough to prepare her for this each year. She'd missed coming last year because life just got too busy and she'd felt rotten about it ever since. Katalina made a vow that no matter how hectic life got she'd always make time to visit her. It was hard to believe that it had been eleven years. Pushing through the gate she wound her way down the path until she found the small piece of stone she was looking for. The brunette placed the roses down on the ground next to the stone and then sat cross legged in front of it. "Hey Andy! Sweet Merlin do I have a lot to catch you up on," she said as tears rolled from her blue eyes down her pinkened cheeks. "Chace sends his love. Said to tell you that we all miss you. Because...well we all do." Kat had been coming to this cemetery every year for the last eleven years, with the exception of last year of course. For some reason it made her feel better to be able to sit for a while and talk to her best friend again. She remembered a time when they'd made a pact that no matter where they were in this life (or the next one) they'd always be best friends. So year after year Katalina came to visit her friend. She would catch her up on things going on in her life and her family's life. She knew that there had been one time that Serena had brought Schuyler here to visit her godmother. It was the closest that her niece would ever get to knowing her...or her father for that matter since Harrison had fallen off the face of the planet after Andy's death. It occurred to Kat that her best friend hadn't gotten to be there for her wedding or the birth of her daughter and that there were so many other memories to be made that the redhead would never get to be in on and that broke the young brunettes heart more than anything. Reaching in her jacket pocket she pulled out the most recent photo of Matty. "She's five now. Can you believe it? Five. It doesn't even seem possible that she's that old now. And let me tell you, she's every bit of a handful. Not sure where she gets that from. Do you," she laughed as she ran her hand across her face to dry it. Even though Katalina knew that Andy couldn't answer her she always felt closest to her here. "Have you seen Kiera or Cyndi recently? We send owls occasionally. Just to say hello and things of that sort, but life has just been so busy for all of us. Some how the three of us all grew up and you...you get to stay exactly the same. Never changing, Andy. You're just gone. And sometimes I'm mad as hell at you for that."
