"Mum, is it possible to have two soulmate marks?"

Rose choked, dropping her frying pan. "I'm sorry?"

Lily fidgeted in her seat, twiddling her thumbs. "Is it humanly possible to have two soulmate marks?"

There was the sound of sizzling as the omelet on the stove erupted into flames, the smell of burning filling the air. Lily jumped to her feet, shouted "Aguamenti!" and a jet of water streaked out of her wand and doused the fire. There was a hiss as the fire was extinguished.

Rose sank into her seat, one crisis resolved but another one staring her right in the face. Her daughter had sat back down and had her eyes cast down on the table. Rose immediately recognized the bewilderment emanating off of her in waves.

"Do you have two soulmate marks?"

Lily kept her eyes averted, but tilted her face up. "I...think so? I might. I can't tell."

Rose heaved in a breath. "Let me see."

"Well, I have the one shaped like a broomstick on my ribs," she said, yanking up her shirt. "And then, I saw this while I was in the shower." She rolled up her sleeve, and just nestled in the crook of her elbow, was a black circle.

At first glance, she couldn't see it, but upon closer inspection, there was faint, familiar glow from the mark that told Rose that this was no freckle.

"You're right, sweetie," she said, pulling away and meeting her daughter's confused eyes. "You do have two soulmate marks."

The confusion in Lily's eyes grew tenfold. "I do?"

"Yes, darling." Rose smiled sunnily at her. "You do."


(Rose wasn't surprised when nine months later her daughter wrote to her that she was in a polyamorous relationship with two boys. She was even less surprised when Lily brought them home, and they were wonderful gentlemen.)

(Sure, it was a little strange at first, but it didn't take her long to get accustomed to it. After all, if it made her daughter happy, she was more than willing to accept it.)
