The Fall of The Phoenix

Relations

I had a PM after the last chapter asking me to explain who all of the Potter/Weasley children belong to, so here's the list! Feel free to skip if you already know who's who.

Bill and Fleur Weasley have Victoire Weasley (fifth year girl), Dominique Weasley (third year girl), and Louis Weasley (10 year old boy).

Charlie Weasley is unmarried and has no children, though he claims that several of his dragons count.

Percy and Penelope Weasley (I know that JK said Percy married a woman named Audrey, but I did not know that when I was originally writing this, so he married Penelope in this story) have Molly Weasley (third year girl) and Lucy Weasley (first year girl).

George and Angelina Weasley have twins Roxanne Weasley (first year girl) and Fred Weasley (first year boy).

Ron and Hermione Granger-Weasley have Rose Granger-Weasley (10 year old girl) and Hugo Granger-Weasley (9 year old boy).

Ginny and Harry Potter claim Levi Idogbe as their eldest son. Levi is a sixth year boy who technically is the son of their neighbors, however, he started staying with Ginny and Harry when his parents traveled for work and just never really left. They also have Teddy Lupin-Potter (sixth year boy), twins James Potter (first year boy) and Phoenix Potter (first year girl), Albus Potter (10 year old boy), and Lily Potter (9 year old girl).

Chapter Four: Relations

- - -

As all good parents should, both my mother and my godmother delighted in telling embarrassing stories about their children. One of their favorite tales to tell was one that took place years before my birth, when Victoire was two and Teddy had only just turned three. It was before my parents had adopted Teddy, back when he still lived with Grandma Andy full-time, only staying with my parents on the weekends. He and Victoire were the very best of friends, as well as notoriously well behaved, so they were allowed to wander the garden while the sisters-in-law cooked dinner together.

Hardly expecting trouble from the duo, my mother and godmother took turns checking up on the children every few minutes, mostly to ensure that they wouldn't accidentally wander off. When my godmother had let out a yelp and rushed out of the kitchen, my mother had, in fact, been certain that the children must have been hurt by some outside force, for she couldn't imagine that they had found themselves in any sort of trouble of their own making. Wand in hand, she had been stunned to find the two young children with their mouths pressed together, no outside force in sight.

It was a very innocent kiss, with both of their faces tightly scrunched up as they pressed puckered lips together for a minute or two. Upon retelling the story, the women always stopped at this point to laugh, scrunching their faces up horribly in an imitation of what Teddy and Victoire had looked like. At the time, however, they had been less amused. Mum had pulled the two apart quickly, demanding an explanation for the behavior. Teddy explained that he had seen her and dad kissing, and dad had told him that it was something that people do when they love each other.

"I love Tori, so I kissed her," Ted had told my mother very simply.

My godmother had cooed at the two, but the sisters-in-law knew that they needed to explain kissing a bit better than my father had thought to. They told the children that that sort of kissing was something that you only did when you were in a relationship. When Vic asked what a relationship was, mum had used herself and dad as an example, explaining that they were in a relationship because they were engaged.
