August 2nd, 1985
It was a sunny day in Ottery St Catchpole as two young girls chased after another, laughing until their breath ran out.
"Got you!" Nova cheers triumphantly as she tackles the older of the Black twins. They both fall to the ground, Nova twisting Celeste's arms back behind her. Celeste struggled but managed to flip both of them over, reversing their positions with Novas arms now behind her back.
"I thought we were playing tag. This is not tag." Celeste comments, annoyance and amusement in her voice.
"What are you doing?! Get up! Up! Remus is on his way and you must be ready. Go on, wash up!" Molly stood in the front door of the burrow, the sun making her hair look as if it was on fire.
The two girls groaned and helped each other up, new grass stains accompanied their clothes.
"Coming!" The twins echoed, then headed up the stairs of the burrow to their room that they shared with their youngest sister.

"Hurry girls!" Molly shouted from the girls' doorway
"We're trying Mama!" Nova said sternly as she was struggling to tie a perfect pastel bow on the back of Celeste's dress.
"Nova, watch your tone" Molly said as she was tapping her foot and crossing her arms in annoyance, just like she did with all nine of her children. Nova groaned in a annoyance due to Molly's accusations of her having a 'Tone'.
"I think we're about done mama" Celeste said as she finished clipping her golden locks behind her ears.
The two girls hurtled down the creaky wooden stairs to see their birthday cake that their mother and older brother Ron spent hours working on, "Hurry! Hurry!" Nova said as she was slightly pushing Celeste's lower back to get her to quickly move.
"Your going to make me trip over my own feet Nova!" Celeste said sharply.
"It's not my fault you have two left feet, now c'mon!" Nova said in annoyance as she was slowly starting to pass the eldest twin.
"Girls, your going to shake down the whole house if you don't stop stomping your feet!" Molly said as she was walking patiently behind the twins.
"Oh my gosh mama, it's beautiful!" Celeste said as she flew her arms crossed her mum's waist and sisters chest, and took an immediate stop in front of the stairs.
"Celeste move I wanna see!" Nova said as she budged her sister to move so she could see what she was ranting about. "Wow, I love it mama!" Nova said in a ecstatic voice, as she took a step next to her older sister.
"You really mean that girls?" Molly said with a questioning tone.
"Yes mama we love it, it has are favorite colors on it-"
