In the mood for tea (Jake and Ivan!)

Katherine was in the mood to drink some tea, so her first instinct when she woke up was to go and get some tea from Madam Puddifoot's shop. She always talked to the woman when she went in there, Katherine was a social bug and she loved starting conversations with everyone. It made her day very much. The young blonde took her normal seat with her mint tea and was drinking it happily.

The woman who usually knew her order by heart was not in that day so she was kind enough to tell her order to the young waitress who wanted to make a living. She wondered if the young girl had a family to support? Katherine would make sure to give a big tip just in case. She loved being the one to help someone out when it was clearly needed. Katherine loved watching light return to people's faces when she helped out as well.

The young witch watched as another Professor came into the shop with a baby in his arms. She knew he was another Professor like her because she has seen him around a lot but she didn't know that he had a child. The child looked a lot like him in a way and she thought he was adorable. "Your baby is so adorable. He looks like you, you know" she said to him as he took a seat at the table next to her.

She really hoped the man wouldn't mind that she was watching his interaction with his child. For some reason watching this happen made her think about her son but she shook that thought from her head. Her son was being watched by her father so she knew he was in save hands. No one really saw her like that, they always just thought that she was this beacon of light and wouldn't know what to do when the time came to it. She sighed at the thought before she smiled at the young boy before looking to his father.

"I'm Katherine Zanderson, you're another Professor at Hogwarts? I am as well, I teach Herbology" she introduced herself politely.

When he offered his hand to shake, she happily shook it with a smile. She could tell that the man named Jake loved his family and would do anything for them. It made her want to know about her mother but she knew her father wouldn't allow that. Katherine got taken from her thoughts when Jake began to explain what he did and she was absolutely stunned. "Wow, I cannot believe that you do all that work and take care of your son. You deserve an award Mr. Jake Newbury" she smiled kindly at him.

This is who she was, she was kind and simply natural. It was who she was, she barely would wear makeup because she believed that the real beauty was within. Yes a little blush and a little eye liner would do for her but that was about it. The young witch watched as the young child continued his little babbling war with himself and his biscuit. "So how old is he?"

When he said that he didn't deserve a reward because of the fact that he was just doing his job, she smiled. He sounded like a true father right in that moment, she could tell that this Jake guy loved his son.

When he explained a normal child she smiled. She remembered Dean being the same way, he was only 11 months but he was her whole world and she couldn't imagine her life without him. "Trust me I know" she replied to him. When Jake asked if she had any kids, she couldn't help but smile at this. "Yes, I have a son named Dean. He's 11 months and my father is babysitting him for me right now for me" Katherine said to him, she always woke up with a smile on her face because of Dean and couldn't ask for anything else but that.

She smiled when this man named Jake told her how Dean was a great name. She loved the name Dean and she heard from her father that if she was a boy that was going to be her name as well. So it was only fitting that, that's what her son's name would be. "Thank you, I love that name, its not very common like it was before" she replied to him. When Jake offered a play date, she smiled at him. "That would be wonderful, Dean needs friends for the future and it would be great for both boys" she wanted Dean to have the best life and she was going to give it to him.

Katherine sighed, she knew this question was going to come up sooner or later and now was better then a year down the world. "No, I got drunk because I was upset over something personal and had a one night stand. I remember the person but because of how everything played out I never told him about Dean. So I am basically a single mother and never have seen his father again since that day" Katherine explained to Jake. She was waiting for the judging to start happening.

"That's wonderful, I wish you both the best of luck with your marriage and engagement" Katherine was being sincere.
