On the 19th of September 1979 a child was born at St Mungo's hospital, a girl.

Her eyes were wide, a dark brown, almost black, a mixture of both her parent's as they showed curiosity and intelligence far beyond that of a newborn and a handful of short black hairs were scattered on her head, it was unsure whether her hair would take after her mother or her father. Curly or straight? But, she had her mother's sloped nose and lips, full and pink, with her father's pale skin tone.

Her parents looked at her with love, adoration and pride. They looked at her like she was their whole world, and maybe she was.

"Mmhmm," she agreed. "I think it suits her beautifully."

"It does," he sighed. "Sleep love, you'll need it whilst you can."

"My beautiful girls," he whispered to himself.

He pressed a kiss to each of their temples before turning on his heel and removing his wand which was hidden up his sleeve the whole time, leaving to obliviate the light wizards so that his wife and daughter would stay a secret, until he decided it was time for the world to know.

"Welcome home Celeste," the woman wispered.

And little Celeste Hermione smiled
