    New Year's Eve

    Andrew cautiously balanced a drinks tray on either arm, glasses of liquid dancing upon each, jumping with the rhythm of the music. The man had no idea where his wife had gotten to, but he simply assumed she had found someone to talk to and was enjoying herself too much to remember her hostess...

    Can't Take My Eyes Off You

    Andrew listened to the excited child before patting her on the head encouragingly. "Well done, Lily, I am glad you have been hard at work. Now, shall we go and find out where your mother has gotten to?" The two of them headed into the living room. Nobody was in there. That only left the kitchen...

    Can't Take My Eyes Off You

    It had been a long and tiring day at work and Andrew was glad to get home. He twisted his key in the muggle front door, which had special enchantments placed upon it by Grakul to keep out the unwelcome ones, and pushed it open. Once through the doorway, Andrew swung the door to and called out...

    The Icing on the Cake

    Aging Can Be Fun

    Andrew beamed as he watched the childrens' and adults' faces light up at the sight of his latest creation. Oh, this cake was definitely his best, by far. He grinned as he placed it down on the kitchen table where the families had gathered. Carefully he flicked his wand, lighting the candles...

    Let The Sky Fall

    Andrew shuffled in his seat, shifting his slipper on and off his foot. He did not say much but simply observed. His wife had been gone so long that it felt a crime to have her back. A blessing, but a warped one at that. She seemed happy to be with him and that was good, so he mused, but why now...

    Let The Sky Fall

    17th April, 2032. Andrew clattered about in the kitchen, searching for the tiny set of bowls he fed Lily cereal from. The toddler giggled from behind him, and he turned to face her with a frown. His face eased up as he realised his stupidity. "Of course," he sighed with a shake of his head...

    Proditione Incipit

    Andrew chased after his wife, quickly noting Lily's position and judging that she was safe to leave for a moment. He found Larissa in the nursery, cramming letters into a handbag. She did not look at him, but continued what she was doing. "Where are you going?" He asked, trying to restrain the...

    Proditione Incipit

    Andrew shook his head, taking another mouthful and chewing it over, sending Lily a flicker of a smile to encourage her continued eating. She did not know that her parents were discussing her fate. She was happy to just munch on her lunch and be nonethewiser. "Well," Andrew began, wondering if...

    Proditione Incipit

    Andrew beamed as Lily clapped her hands, opening her mouth and swaying this way and that in an effort to catch the food floating towards her. But the fun was disturbed by the tone of his wife's voice. More so than the words which came from it. Andrew gave a slight cough, apologised, and...

    Proditione Incipit

    They had argued, that day. And something about it all didn't quite add up. They had argued over Lily. Over her lack of friends at her second birthday party. Over the fact that Larissa barely allowed her out of the house to the park. Larissa had claimed she did not wish for their daughter to fall...

    Proditione Incipit

    Andrew peered down at his wristwatch. Lunchtime. His parents, who Lily knew only as 'Oma' and 'Opa', were due to arrive in half an hour for the birthday celebrations. "I think we ought to get these last two opened before mum and dad arrive," he nodded to Larissa, before grabbing the last two...

    Proditione Incipit

    "Oh, Lily!" Andrew smiled, shaking his head and mopping up the milk, flicking his wand at the spillage and clearing the lot up. He made himself a piece of neatly buttered toast and a cup of tea, which he hurriedly wolfed down, noticing the restlessness of his daughter. Perhaps it was time to let...

    Proditione Incipit

    Andrew sighed, casting a fleeting glance at the doorway and willing Larissa to walk through it. But she didn't. He turned back to his little girl and fixed a big smile on his face. "Mama will be down in a while, but she wants us to go and see if there's any special birthday girl treats in the...

    Proditione Incipit

    ".. Larissa?" She seemed more distant this morning than most. Andrew stared over at his wife for a moment, wondering what could possibly be transforming within her mind. She would lay and think. He could see it in her eyes, the way they seemed to follow streams of light from the curtain-less...

    Andrew couldn't quite believe his ears. Immediately, his eyes were back on his child, open-mouthed with surprise. "She spoke!" he heard himself declaring joyously, glancing from his wife to his daughter, and back. Lily seemed quite pleased with herself, also. It was the first time Andrew had...

    Andrew watched his daughter turning her head to try and see her mother. He moved his hand to better support her head, perhaps fearing that if he didn't, she would twist too far and all hell would break loose. Andrew awaited the response of his wife, a cooing sound of pleasure at such an adorable...

    Warmth

    "Larissa!" Andrew shouted up the stairs, rushing back into the house, a man tailing close behind him. They both hurried up the stairs. Andrew could hear nothing. Not even the moans of pain. He was trembling with fear as he led the mediwizard to the study. "Larissa!" he called again in panic...
