Its not every day a young wizard starts school at Hogwarts. Its been almost 12 years since the Battle of Hogwarts against the Dark Lord. It's been 11 years since Clairi gave birth to Flynn Gavin Weasley-Nott. Clairi still couldn't believe that she still had a peace of Fred, her first love with her today. She could see his smile every time Flynn looked at her and smiled about something. Every time myth showed in the boys eyes, she was reminded of all those pranks they came up with in school. Flynn grew up on stories of his father from both his Uncles and his dad. She didn't expect Zander to fallow one of the most ancient customs of the wizarding world, nor did she expect Fred to bind their friend to it either. But now looking back Fred just wanted her to be taken care of if anything had happen to him and he couldn't do so. When she read Fred's letter to her, she found out that he knew about the baby before she knew, mainly because he was the one who forgot the stupid charm he said.
Smiling at the memories that passed through her mind, Clairi looked over to her son and his dad. Zander kneeling their infront of the boy speaking quietly to him. They had a few minutes before her Aunt and nephew arrived. Teddy Lupin and Flynn would both be going to school together this year. The Weasley's where due to arrive soon too, to send the two off to their 1st Year. Flynn gained the Black families trade mark black hair, but the blue eyes and freckles from his father. Molly has never been a fan of the Weasley Hair not being passed on to the next generation. George and Angi's son gained dark hair, and a darker skin tone from his mother, while gaining the blue eyes from his father. Bill and Fleur's two daughter's where both Blond like their mother while their son had light red hair. Percy's two daughters inherited the flaming red hair that Molly loved to see. Ron and Lavender's daughter was also had red hair along with Lily, Harry and Ginny's only daughter. While Harry's sons had the Potter dark hair. Hermione's daughter looked like a mini me of her mother except the fact that she like Teddy had the ability to change her hair color. Theo nearly fainted when Primrose a week after being born changed her hair to the color of the dragon Charlie brought for the little girl.
Charlie Weasley had a soft spot for all his nieces and nephews. They each was given a dragon as a gift after they where born. Flynn, Zephyr, and Lyon had one as well. Molly to this day harps on Charlie about being an eternal Bachelor. He always counter's that with all the nieces and nephews he never had to plan on having kids. It was a running joke really. Even with Clairi and Hermione not marring into the family their children where considered her grandchildren. Jaspin has three daughters when he prayed for boys to teach to play quidditch.
As Clairi and Zephyr approached Zander and Flynn, Clairi remembered when they decided to call their second child west wind.
Flash Back;
5 years after the birth of Flynn, 4 years after marring Zander, they where welcoming a baby girl into their family. It had taken Clairi and Zander nearly three years to become a proper couple. At first they agreed to marry as it was Fred's last request, now she loved him as much as she did Fred. But they both knew Fred would be her first love. It was the day after they brought the little girl home. Flynn was quietly reading with his mother while Zander walked with the baby to get her to stay asleep. Honestly the baby was proving to be more of a hand full then Flynn was.
"Mommy, what is this word?" Flynn asked.
Clairi had been teaching him how to read since he started speaking. They had been reading about the myths of the winds.
"That is Zephyr, the west wind spirit or so the legend goes." Clairi explained.
It's been a few years since she finally broke into the box she received when she began as a curse breaker. Then once the coordinates that she found inside the box where confirmed. Began the biggest wizarding archaeological dig and finding since the curses of Egypt. She was up until her healer put her onto bed rest, was traveling between London and Saudi Arabia to look over the dig site of the sands of time. She has furthered her grandfathers work leaps since opening the box. But now she was on leave with a new baby.
"Mummy, have you picked a name yet?" Flynn asked as he looked up at her.
"No we haven't." She smiled at Zander, they where having a hard time.
"Well since I'm named after Fred, how about Zephyr? That way she's named after daddy?" Flynn suggested.
They looked at each other and then at Flynn. The boy wasn't so keen on having another baby around. He and Teddy both agreed one night after Dominique was born that there where enough babies. But once his mummy said she was having one he threw a fit. Molly said that Fred was the fussiest when she told the boys she was having another baby, so it wasn't unexpected that Flynn was much like his father.
"You want her to be named after the west wind spirit?" Zander asked walking over and sitting next to them.
"Well my name starts with an F for Fred, how about hers starting with a Z for you?" Flynn's big blue eyes looked up at Zander.
Zander looked at the little girl then the Clairi asking if the name was fine. Neither ever expected Flynn to come up with a name for the baby that just yesterday called an "annoying pest" something he picked up from spending the day with Draco. Clairi nearly decked her cousin for that comment that leaked from her sons mouth.
"I love Zephyr, but Zephyr what?" She asked Flynn wanting this to be something he chose.
"Zephyr Lyra Nott!" Flynn jumped up on the cushion between his parents.
"Lyra?" Clairi asked.
"Uncle Draco is named after the dragon constellation and Lyra is a constellation like granddad Regulus too." He said happily.
Clairi rolled her eyes, leave it to Draco to bring up the Black family legacy of naming children after a constellation. But she couldn't say anything about the flow of Zephyr Lyra Nott had. And her 5 year old picked the name out. She grabbed the boy, pulled him into her lap and kissed his cheek. Causing the boy to Eww at her and wiping his cheek saying that mummy had cuties. A concept he picked up at the new magical elementary school that was created after the war for all those who , muggle-born, half-blood or pure-blood showed an early sign of magic. It was in the center of Diagon Ally. An idea that Hermione gave Kings during the summer of her internship before she went back to Hogwarts to take her 7th year as an 8th year. Kings got it up and running by the 2nd year anniversary of the battle.
Zander laughed at the boys ewws, knowing that it's a phase that he'll grow out of and when he brings a girl home, Clairi will bring back up to him at that time.
End of Flash back:
"You ready love?" Clairi asked the 11 year old.
"I'm ready mum. Look Uncle Jas!" He said excitedly.
Jaspin has to be on of Flynn's favorite people in his life. It kind of drove a few of the Weasley's up a wall. Particullarly George, because Uncle Theo, Uncle Jaspin, Uncle Draco and Uncle Charlie where the Uncle's Flynn admitted that where his favorite Uncles. George whined that any child of Fred's was supposed to admit that he was their fav Uncle. They have told Flynn that he wasn't really Zander's son by blood, but Zander saw him as his son and loved him as such. It was slightly awkward for a month or so after wards but when he came to Zander asking him to tell him about his other dad. They knew the awkwardness had passed. Zander told him all about Fred that he knew. Flynn had once asked how he came to love his mum. They had faced a lot over the last 11 years. Sure Clairi wished that Fred was here for it all, but she also knew that she wouldn't have Zephyr or Leon. Watching everyone send off the two oldest boys of the family, it was only a matter of time till all the children where being sent off the Hogwarts. But that's what life is all about growing up. Zander and Harry helped the two boys with their trunks into a compartment of the train. She and Ginny both telling the boys to write and them rolling their eyes at their mums. The men of the family passing bets on which house the boys would be sorted into. Then when the whistle blew the rest of the children jumped on to the train, then right at 11 am, the train started to move. Zander picked up Zephyr as the family watched the train leave knowing that they would never have to face what they had to go through. They would get to enjoy the most of life with out facing the darkness that was surrounding the idea of the Dark lord 12 years ago. And that is what Fred, Remus, Tonks, her Dad, her Mum, James and Lily wanted for their children.
