Chapter 8: This is Ridiculous

Katherine woke up on Christmas morning to find Isabella lying on her chest tapping her nose.

"Happy Christmas," Isabella smiled.

"Happy Christmas sweetie," Katherine laughed.

"Are you awake now? I want presents," the child stated.

"I'm up. How about you go wake mummy and daddy and I'll make breakfast. We can't open gifts till everyone is here," Katherine chuckled.

"Okay," Isabella nodded as she slid of the bed and bounded out of the room.

Katherine got out of bed and put on a tight pair of black jeans. She had her jeans tucked into black boots and an off the shoulder long sleeved red glitter top. She brushed out her curls and tied a red and cream scarf around her head before stepping out of her room.


Celina and William came out of the fireplace and followed the noise into the kitchen of the Dumbledores'. There the couple found Albus, Minerva, Katherine, Isabella, Frank, Augusta, and Graham eating waffles in the shapes of Christmas trees and laughing at some joke.

"Okay kids are you ready for my special breakfast creation?" Katherine asked.

"Yeah!" the kids shouted.

"Okay here…we…are!" Katherine stated as she turned around and in her hands was a plate of waffles, eggs, syrup, fruit, and bacon. It was all cut up and fixed in what looked like the face of Albus smiling at them.

"It's daddy!" Isabella stated.

"Cool," Frank grinned.

"Here Min darling. Why don't you chew on your husband," Katherine winked setting the plate in front of Minerva.

"Thanks mum," Minerva smiled.

"Mum!?" Celina gasped.

"Uh I…mother I didn't mean to it just slipped," Minerva stammered.

"Yes just a slip. Come Celina…William I have breakfast for you both as well. Then these little darlings can have their gifts," Katherine smiled sweetly.

"Excellent I'm starved," William clapped his hands and sat down.

Celina sniffed angrily but she also sat down making sure to be close to her husband. For his part William scooted slightly away.

Katherine placed plates in front of the two McGonagalls before taking a few strips of bacon for herself and curling up in a chair on Minerva's other side.

"You really are quite a cook Kat," Graham stated.

"Thank you," Katherine grinned as she rubbed Minerva's back while the woman ate.

"So how'd you sleep Minerva?" William asked.

"Very good daddy. Katherine gave me this wonderful homemade bubble bath last night that was so relaxing," Minerva stated.

Celina rolled her eyes staring at her food.

"How'd you sleep Katherine?" William asked.

"Oh rather well. Of course I was woken up early by a cute little kitten," Katherine replied winking at Isabella who was giggling into her milk.

William chuckled eating his breakfast.

"Tell me Katherine are you always so flirtatious?" Celina frowned.

"Usually," Katherine nodded.

"And do you always sit like that? You act like an animal are you sure you're pureblooded?" Celina stated. Katherine was curled up in the wooden chair rather like a cat almost.

"Considering my parents were cousins I'd say yes I am. As for my animalistic tendencies … well you would too had you been locked in a basement when you were little. Mrs. McGonagall had you half a brain you'd think before you speak," Katherine stated.

"Had I? Had you half a brain you wouldn't faun over a married man when you're married yourself!" Celina snapped.

"If you kept your man happy he wouldn't have to look else where. Quite frankly I'm amazed William has lasted this long with you considering how you are. These poor girls are just your toys you are so uptight nothing they do is good enough. I bet you can't even get Will excited anymore," Katherine replied.

"Uh I think we should take this else where," Graham stated.

"Shut up Graham," Both women stated as they stood.

"You are such a slut it's no wonder you talk about having so many children!" Celina snapped and tossed a spoon full of eggs at Katherine.

Everyone froze waiting to see what Katherine would do.

She wiped the eggs off of her face and cracked her neck rather loudly as she walked to the stove. The next thing Celina knew she had a face full of waffle batter.

"Why you little wench!" Celina shrieked.

"Prude," Katherine stated.

The women glared at each other from across the table before Katherine made a noise that was a cross between a growl and cat coughing up a hair ball as she jumped over the table and tackled Celina to the ground.

Everyone gasped and quickly got out of the way as the food went flying and the women wrestled on the floor with each other.

"Wow!" Frank exclaimed.

"Ten galleons say Katherine knocks her out cold," Graham stated.

"I'll take that bet. With Celina's anger she might win," Albus stated.

"Oh honestly," Augusta huffed, "I bet on Kat."

"You don't even know the proper way to tend to a pregnant woman. Minerva should be totally relaxed not worrying about what you're doing with her daughter," Katherine grunted.

"I'm trying to turn her into a lady!" Celina snapped pinning Katherine to the ground.

"She's a child!" Katherine snarled twisting in a very odd way and pinning Celina to the ground.

"I've heard of fighting for those you love…but this is ridiculous," Minerva replied.

"Entertaining though," William stated. As he watched the two women fight he saw the fire in Celina he fell in love with.

"Get off of me!" Celina squeaked.

"In your dreams," Katherine stated.

The two women continued their fight till they hit the table and it collapsed on top of them.

Minerva gasped as they other stared in shock. Frank and Isabella started giggling.

From under the table they heard muffle shouts and then a scream of, "Ouch!"

Albus levitated the table off of the women and found them lying face up staring at the ceiling. They were covered in food and poking each other.

"Are you two all fought out?" Graham chuckled.

"She keeps poking me," Katherine whined.

"She's poking me," Celina stated.

"I think you both are acting like children," Minerva snapped angrily.

"Thank you," the women said together

"Wait….what?" Augusta questioned.

"I say again this is ridiculous," Minerva stated.
