It had been close to a year since the youngest Vanderhol sister had come home. The shop that she owned in France had been doing so well over the last fifteen or so years, so she rarely got the chance to come back to New Zealand, but now that her only child had graduated from Beauxbatons, Serena figured she didn't have to work quite so much and could get back home more often nowadays. The blonde witch wandered around a local park, near her family home. It was a beautiful afternoon. So beautiful that she almost wished she'd taken Katalina up on the offer to go to the beach with her and Cyndi, but Serena knew that it had been a rough year for her sisters oldest friend and that the pair needed the alone time. At times, the youngest Vanderhol was somewhat jealous that she'd never been to a real school, occasionally resenting the friendships that her sister had made, but with the tragedy of losing two of those dear friends, Serena was mildly grateful that she didn't understand that type of heartache. The thirty-nine year old continued to wander aimlessly, really with no destination in mind for the time being. She missed her daughter greatly, but was merely happy with the fact that Schuyler was incredibly busy keeping up the family namesake as the newest beater for the Wimbourne Wasps. Serena had been so incredibly proud of that decision. Katalina had been incredibly proud of that decision. And somewhere, deep in her soul, Serena Vanderhol knew that Harrison Landers would be head over heels in love with the decision.
Sometimes it still hurt down to the bone to know that in the last nineteen years, Harrison had never returned or attempted to make contact with her. Andromeda's death had taken a great toll on those closest to her, but never in a million years did the blonde think that the once love of her life would just pack up without a word and abandon her forever. Of course, things might have been different had Harrison known that his girlfriend had been pregnant at the time, but none of that mattered now. Serena had raised her daughter on her own. Built a business and supported herself on her own. And as proud as that made her, it never quite filled the void that Harrison had left not only in her life, but in Schuyler's as well.
