The screen abruptly changed to next morning, in a kitchen in a huge manor. 

We can see a back of a redhead girl making something on the stove. 

As the sound fades in, we hear her singing. 

🎵And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime🎵

🎵And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine🎵

🎵'Cause I'm in a field of dandelions🎵

🎵Wishing on every one that you'll be mine, mine🎵

🎵And I see forever in your eyes🎵

🎵I feel okay when I see you smile, smile🎵

🎵Wishing on dandelions all of the time🎵

🎵Praying to God that one day you'll be mine🎵

🎵Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time🎵

"Wow! Her voice is amazing!" exclaimed Cho Chang.

"Who's she?" questioned Angelina Johnson. 

"Maybe...Kate?" asked Alicia Spinnet. 

"Uh...I don't sing." replied Katherine.

'Lies.' thought a certain someone's voice.

The screen shows someone's eyebrows furrowed.

Then camera pans to show that someone's emerald green eyes widening in realisation as some distant voice is heard. 

"Oh Merlin! TEDDY!" shouted the voice before dashing up the staircase. 

"Teddy?" 

"Hey, aren't those - " Started Fred.

"pretty green eyes - " joined George.

"your Kate?" both of them finished together. 

"Uh...yeah, those do look like your eyes Katy. Exactly like your mum's." stated James

"Yeah, they do...and Katy?" mused Kate.

"Yeah, I used to call you that when you were little." said James feeling sad at the thought that his daughter didn't get to grow up with him and Lily. 

"That's wonderful dad!" exclaimed Kate.

Dad.

Her mom and dad were alive!

Dad.

His little princess was no longer the 1 year old who used to go on calling him dadda. 

But then again, she was no longer 1 year old. She was 15! 

Merlin! How much did he miss in her life?

The screen cut to a door banging open and in came Katherine Potter. 

Now 18 years old.

"Looking amazing, Potter!" someone wolf-whistled.

Though with a clenched jaw, he agreed on that one.

"Who said that?" James, Sirius and Remus's question remained lingering in the air. 

Matured.

That was a word that could describe her.

But then again, she matured when she saw her friend, Cedric die. 

"Oh Kate!" 

She matured when she didn't tell anyone about Umbridge's misdoings. 

"What misdoings?"

"What did you do to my Goddaughter Umbridge?!" exclaimed Sirius.

She matured when she suffered everything quietly. 

She matured when she went through all the torture.

She matured when she saw her friends and family being tortured and killed.

Kate was silent all through these lines.

The 18 year old Katherine Potter's eyes now showed panic.

"Huh?"

"Panic?"

Why you ask?

Because she heard Teddy crying.

"Who is Teddy?!"

"TEDDY! I AM HERE!" she exclaimed.

She went in the room and picked the 11 month old baby in her arms and started rocking him soothingly. 

"Baby?!"

"Who's baby is that cub?!" asked Remus.

"Pup! Tell me! I will kill that stupid idiot!" stated Sirius.

"No one comes near my Bambi!" exclaimed James.

"Oh, shut up you three. Let the movie continue." Lily sighed at their overprotectiveness. 

But even he wondered who's kid is that.

"Shhh...calm down. I am here. I am not going anywhere sweetie. Shhh...calm down." tried Kate.

But Teddy was not listening to her.

He was going on crying.

- Changed his diaper?

CHECK

- Fed him?

NOT CHECK

Went Kate in her head.

"Oh, sweetheart. C'mon, let's go eat something alright?" cooed Kate.

While going to the kitchen, she started singing a lullaby she remembered her mom singing to her. And that song was a little bit related to her dull love life. God, she missed him so much.

"You remember?" asked Lily

"Yeah, I sometimes dream about it." replied Kate.

"Love life!?!?" cue James and Sirius fainting and Remus spluttering. 

Cue Ron, Fred and George looking around the hall to kill that 'him'. 

But found no one.

Cue all the boys who had a crush on Kate, straightening in their seats. But not him. He wanted to see it from his own eyes. No assumptions. 

🎵Heart beats fast🎵

🎵Colours and promises🎵

🎵How to be brave?🎵

🎵How can I love when I'm afraid to fall🎵

🎵But watching you stand alone?🎵

🎵All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow🎵

🎵One step closer🎵

🎵I have died everyday waiting for you🎵

🎵Darling don't be afraid I have loved you🎵

🎵For a thousand years🎵

🎵I'll love you for a thousand more🎵

Teddy started quieting down and played with the strands of her hair. 

The sound of her voice faded out as the screen turned black.
