My Darling Eridanus
October 11, 1981
Walburga woke up to her almost fourteen-month-old crying, she reached over to her husband's side of the bed to wake him, he knew how to settle the boys when they were crying, but felt nothing. A rush of reality came to the widow as Eridanus was still screaming her head off. Shaking off the feeling of tiredness, Walburga rushed into her daughter's room, which sat across the hall from the master bedroom for convenience.
Eridanus sat there crying as Kreacher tried to silence her, but nothing worked for the house-elf. Walburga dismissed him silently and picked the sobbing toddler, bouncing her a bit, along with some shushing. The crying kept going. Next was her diaper and if she was hungry. It was neither. And then the feeling of dread washed over Walburga. Molars. She must be teething.
"Eridanus it's alright, love" Walburga comforted her child and sighed, holding her close as she let her eyes drift to the ceiling, all the constellations and stars that had been used as names in their family were there, along with all nine of the planets. The tired mother let her eyes drift to a certain star, Sirius.

"Orion please go check on Sirius," Walburga whined as the sounds of her son's crying woke both parents
"Come with me Wal', c'mon, he's so sweet when he's tired." Orion pulled his robe on as he convinced his wife to join him in the nursery.
