HUMBLE
xxx»» While he has never struggled with his own self-worth, Nirav is an incredibly humble person. He believes firmly, with all his being, that all people are equal on this earth, no one better than anyone else, and he is obviously no exception. His successes are cause for pride, but never arrogance. His failures are learning experiences. Always, he looks to everyone and everything around him and the ways he can become better. He believes that, while it is impossible to achieve perfection, striving for it is the best way to become all that you can be.

QUICK-WITTED
xxx»» Nirav was the youngest, and smallest, of his siblings. While his family was never cruel to him, they did love to tease, and he learned quickly that he couldn't defend himself physically. More to the point, he rarely if ever wished to. He preferred using his words to defend himself from attacks. Likewise, he found great joy in the joy and laughter of others, and so learned to be quick with a joke. They're not always the best jokes per se, but he claims that everyone loves a good pun, they just don't want to admit it.

EMPATHETIC
xxx»» Nirav has a big heart. He's the sort of man who has to put a book down for a while after reading a particularly emotional passage. The few times he's been convinced to go to the cinema, an experience he generally can't stand, he nonetheless finds himself cringing at the secondhand embarrassment he feels, crying over every heartbreak, and overcome with joy at the protagonist's triumph. He can't stand a sad ending, and in fact has a small journal in which he writes new, happier endings for the stories he has read over the years that didn't turn out well. He carries others emotional weight as if it were his own, and is generally happy to do so, if it means making another person's burden even a little lighter. He claims that the important thing is just knowing someone cares, and so he will always be that person.

CHARITABLE
xxx»» Hand in hand with his heart is Nirav's conscience. He can't bear to see others suffering, and so he will do anything in his power to make things even a little better. He never throws things away if they are useful, instead donating them to charities. When he has money, he gives it freely. He has on more than one occasion invited a stranger who seemed to be having a rough time into his home for a hot meal. If he can help, he will, and if he cannot, he will stubbornly insist on trying to find a way to do so anyway. He would gladly give the shirt off his back if he could.

OPTIMISTIC
xxx»» There's always a silver lining, or so Nirav will insist. Even in the darkest times, he tries to find the light. If he starts to feel down, he'll go outside on a cloudless night to watch the stars. Living in England, cloudless nights can be few and far between, so sometimes he just reminds himself they're there, and that's enough for him. It's very difficult to get him down. Whenever something manages, he's quick to bounce back. It's a talent he never takes for granted, because he knows for some people it's not so easy. And so, he tries to spread his good cheer around whenever he can.

ECCENTRIC
xxx»» Nirav can come across as a bit odd. His obsession with the stars can overtake him if he gives it the chance. The mention of them in a conversation can immediately turn it into a ramble. His home is a mess of star charts and scribbled notes, chapters of books, fiction and non-fiction, that he's begun and forgotten and found and re-started a thousand times over. He can't keep his thoughts straight half the time, and will sometimes begin one sentence, lose his thought halfway through, and wander towards something completely unrelated before he can even think to try and remember. He often forgets that other people aren't in his head and therefore can't follow his thought processes if he doesn't explain them fully, leaving people confused when he makes what, to him, is an easy jump from one conclusion or statement to the next, when in reality the two seem completely unrelated.

xxx❖xxxB A C K S T O R Yxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


CHILDHOOD
xxx»» Nirav was the youngest son of a rather large Indian family. Overall, his family was an odd mix of traditional values, and modern conveniences. His father, a muggle man who'd caught the eye of his witch mother while she was out shopping, was more than happy to introduce his beloved to the beauty of the modern world. Personally, Nirav never saw the draw; he much preferred candles to light bulbs, as the artificial light hurt his eyes. He didn't care for the telly, or video games, and absolutely hated talking on the phone. Whenever his family would gather around to watch a film or compete with one another, he would sit to the side, generally with a book, and enjoy watching them enjoy themselves far more than he ever enjoyed attempting to get involved. He loved their joy, but whenever forced to take part, he found it overwhelming.

SCHOOL YEARS
xxx»» When his time came to attend Hogwarts, he was ecstatic to be in a place that was powered by nothing more than magic. He developed a few specific areas of interest while in school, but truthfully, nothing could ever hold his focus like the stars. He was enamored with the night sky, with the constellations and the stories they told. He decided at a very early age that he wanted to spend his life studying them. While not always the best test-taker, he was known for being a gifted student, and sought after often by the younger years as a tutor. In his seventh year, he was approached by a fourth year Slytherin named Jaya, requesting his help with her Astronomy lessons. She didn't much care for the class, she said, and often fell asleep, so she was falling behind. He was happy to help, and in the end, his passion for the lesson filled her with an answering passion. By the end of the year, she said it was her favorite class.

ADULTHOOD
xxx»» Nirav dabbled in a few things here and there after graduating before eventually deciding he wouldn't be happy unless he could pursue Astronomy as his career. His parents disapproved, knowing he would struggle to be successful and 'support a family' doing so, but he didn't care. Roughly six years after his graduation, he was looking for someone to help him write and publish a book regarding some research he'd been working on, and came across a familiar face. Apparently, he'd inspired Jaya so much with his tutoring that she'd eventually decided to pursue the same. Unlike him, she had the full support of her family, who were quite wealthy. The pair began working together, and eventually successfully combined their research and published a book.
xxx»» While working on their book together, the pair became very close friends, and then more than friends. The romance moved so quickly that it seemed his family had barely blinked before they were wed. The pair were practically inseparable, and eventually graced with a daughter they named Anandi. However, Jaya eventually came to struggle with the feeling that she'd settled to soon. She loved her husband greatly, but felt dissatisfied in their marriage. Nirav, ever the supportive friend, agreed to grant her time to figure out what she wanted. They separated, and after some time apart she decided she was happier being his friend than his wife. They divorced amicably, and their daughter insists that their relationship is the most bizarre thing she's ever seen.
xxx»» Some pushing from his ex-wife eventually led Nirav to checking out the Sticky Wicket's candy shop. In retrospect, he should have known it was an attempted set up, and that Jaya was taking advantage of his sweet tooth. But, nothing of the sort occurred to him, and he happily continued on in a sort of calm obliviousness regarding the shop's owner Ciaran. The developed a friendship, which eventually turned into more, though not without a fair amount of effort from various parties to make them both see reason. Still, they settled into the relationship rather comfortably, if not necessarily easily. It helped matters greatly that Anandi took to Ciaran's daughter quickly, and was fond enough of his sons, though she didn't get the chance to know them as well due to their age difference.
xxx»» It seemed that, perhaps, Ciaran and Nirav settled a little too well into their relationship, in that neither of them was particularly in any rush to progress. At their age, it was hardly a big deal, but their two daughters became increasingly annoyed as the pair became horribly domestic without any mention of ever moving in together or getting married. Nagging from both girls eventually saw both of these things happen, albeit far later than either would've liked. There was no real fanfare over the matter, given that both had been married before, and were too preoccupied with Caty's nuptials besides.

DIRECT
xxx»» Anandi doesn't believe in skirting around serious issues. She's always found that the key to proper communication is to get your point across as bluntly and simply as possible. At times, this can leave her looking rather tactless, but she'd rather have to apologize for phrasing something rudely than for a massive communication error. She tries to be as polite as possible, but when her choice is polite or honest, she'll go with honest and pray for forgiveness. She doesn't believe in a lot of fluff when she speaks. Small talk is practically a cardinal sin when there's work to be done, and she can barely stand it when she's socializing. In general, she prefers for her interactions with others to have purpose. If they don't, she's at a loss.

CLEVER
xxx»» Anandi's mind works much like her father's, but she has her mother's organized side to help her keep it all together far better than he does. As a result, she's very bright for her age. She's quick with solutions and can solve puzzles and equations with relative ease. She has a gift for music, able to pick up many songs more or less by ear, with a basic guide to the notes if it's on the complicated side. Her mind processes information swiftly and efficiently. Her one weakness in this regard is, once she's stuck on something, she has to find the answer, has to figure the note out, has to put together every piece of the puzzle. She's quite fortunate that she's so skilled at it, or she would've lost as many hours to her distractions as her father has to his.

CURIOUS
xxx»» Anandi likes knowing how things work, how they function. She's more interested in muggle technology than she generally is in magic, simply because she finds the answer 'it's magic' to be boring. Potions are of interest to her because she can study the ingredients and how they interact, the effects of temperature and timing, but wandwork leaves her wishing there were more to it than simple intent and an incantation. As a child, she asked incessant questions regarding these matters, and eventually grew frustrated with a lack of answers. So, she turned towards more identifiable curiosities, such as how a computer works. She would like to one day find an answer to her questions regarding spells, but has settled for waiting until she has a better teacher.

SPIRITED
xxx»» Anandi was always taught the value of being true to herself, and speaking her mind. As a result, though she can seem somewhat clinical at times, she is quite passionate. Her enthusiasm knows no bounds, and once you crack her shell, it shows. She tried to keep herself subdued, but get her on the right subject and eventually she fails in this endeavor. Her passionate nature most often comes up when discussing her music, her family, or some moral dilemma she's studied extensively. She believes in fighting for what she believes in, and does so with fire.

TENACIOUS
xxx»» A generous person would call Anandi 'determined' or perhaps 'spunky.' A more accurate word, to her way of thinking, would be stubborn. She can't stand the thought of giving up on anything, a trait inherited from both her parents. She is, as a result, ore stubborn than the two of them combined. Letting go of something is tantamount to torture, and she will obsess over anything not done to her satisfaction for days on end. Leaving things incomplete, or giving up on them because they are difficult, means that all the time spent previously has been wasted, and time is a precious resource that she refuses to waste.

AFFECTIONATE
xxx»» Anandi's family is very close, and very loving. They are warm-hearted people, quick to show their love for one another. Anandi receives the lion's share of their love, or so it seems. But, rather than becoming insolent or entitled, she takes what is given to her, and shares it in spades. Her aloofness in the face of study vanishes instantly when she is surrounded by those she loves, and she is quick with a sweet word or a warm embrace. She values the people closest to her, and always wants them to know it.

STRENGTHS
xxx»» Strong sense of self
xxx»» Passionate
WEAKNESSES
xxx»» Short-tempered
xxx»» Easily swept into drama
FEARS
xxx»» Splinching
xxx»» Death



xxx❖xxxB A C K S T O R Yxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


CHILDHOOD
xxx»» Anandi's parents wanted more children; she was supposed to be one of no less than three, preferably four or five. However, it seemed that fate had other ideas. The couple struggled with fertility for a long time, never being brave enough to find out who was the weak link. They considered themselves blessed to've been giving their daughter. Anandi was doted on, spoiled by her entire family. She was the baby, born late to the youngest son of her father's family, with a multitude of aunts, uncles, and cousins, all significantly older than she was. She grew up with the praises of her many relatives in her ear, impressing them easily with her musical talents, her mind, her ambitions. She showed magic earlier than any of her cousins had, at the tender age of three, turning the wall of her bedroom a shimmering gold color in place of their previous green. When her parents divorced, she was devastated, having always thought that their marriage was perfect. The fact that they remained close friends appeased her, though saying she'd never tried to convince them to get back together would be a lie. She has yet to meet a single partner for either of them that she's liked, though she prefers her father's taste to her mother's. Likewise, she prefers living with her father, if only because someone needs to be around to make sure he's taken care of. She's not entirely certain how he'll fare once she's away at Hogwarts.

SCHOOL YEARS
xxx»» Anandi had a very successful, if somewhat uneventful, school career. She was sorted into Ravenclaw, which surprised no one (though Slytherin wouldn't have, either), and proved herself to fit right in among the eagles by earning high marks in all her lessons. She made many friends, and grew close to Caty, the youngest child of her father's new boyfriend Ciaran. The pair became thick as thieves, largely due to their mutual exasperation at their fathers. She found herself growing close to another older student, a Slytherin named Julius in the year above her. Julius, she found, was quite similar to her in temperament, though he lacked her spine, a fact that annoyed her to no end. Particularly where it concerned his betrothed Chrys, who Anandi couldn't stand.
xxx»» Anandi didn't bother with extracurriculars, instead taking a high volume of courses when she was granted the privilege of choosing electives. In her fifth year she was named prefect, alongside her best friend Wallis McGregor. She considered herself quite fortunate to've had him as a partner, as some others chosen for prefect hadn't been so lucky. They were also named Head Boy and Head Girl in their seventh year, a fact that Anandi was quite proud of, even as she resented the fact that she couldn't focus entirely on her studies. Still, she balanced the work well, and managed high marks on all her exams.

ADULTHOOD
xxx»» Her high marks made it quite easy for Anandi to get hired on in the Department of Mysteries, working in the thought chamber. She's still not entirely certain what's to be accomplished when they keep their work secret, but the work is engaging and interesting, so she can't complain. She's also paid quite well, so there's that. She tried to focus herself on her work and on nagging her father and Ciaran to get married, mostly to distract herself from her own love life, or lack thereof. This came to a rather sudden end when, seemingly out of the blue (and yet she couldn't help but think 'finally'), Julius asked her on a date. She was shocked, and thrilled, to realize that her attraction hadn't just been one-sided. Meanwhile, Caty got engaged, and their fathers got married, so overall she'd say things were going quite well in her life.

CREATIVE
xxx»» Mahavir's family tends towards the academic side of things. While he was sorted into Ravenclaw like the vast majority of his relatives, he was definitely placed there less for his intellect or desire to learn, and more for his imagination and desire to create. He's an exceptionally inventive person, quick-thinking and witty. He likes to take risks just to see how they'll pan out, and comes up with rather interesting ideas when pressed.

HEDONISTIC
xxx»» He's a man who loves his pleasures. Nice fabrics, fine dining, if it has a hefty price tag he's probably interested. He doesn't even realize he's doing it half the time, he just seems drawn to the finer things in life. Since being forced to move out of his parent's home, he's struggling somewhat, because his current living situation isn't quite up to his decadent standards. Still, he makes due with what he has, and tries to find ways to fulfill his desires without living beyond his means. He's taken to checking out thrift stores and estate sales to try and snag deals on expensive antique furniture and designer clothing. He's surprisingly good at it. His flat is small, but it looks like something out of an Oscar Wilde novel.

SPOILED
xxx»» Up until the birth of his cousin Anandi, a full decade after his own, Mahavir was the baby of the family. He was doted on by his older siblings and cousins, given everything he asked for by his parents, aunts, and uncles, and coddled by his grandparents. He's very used to getting his way, and doesn't quite know how to deal with being rejected. It's been difficult for him recently, since his family finally realized they weren't doing him any favors and decided to force him to grow up and act like an adult. He's learning his lesson, somewhat, but things come so easy to him that the punishment/life lesson hasn't been as effective as his family would've liked.

EXCITABLE
xxx»» Mahavir's attention span is focused entirely on what's most interesting at any given moment. All that's required to get him passionate about something is to stick him in a conversation with someone who is already passionate about it. He'll listen to someone go on for hours about their special interests, and by the end of the conversation he's usually just as invested as they are. He feels things very strongly. To Mahavir, every good thing that happens is the same as Christmas morning to a child. Actually, every morning is like Christmas morning, because he sees each day as being full of opportunity for exciting new things.

CHARISMATIC
xxx»» Part of the reason things typically come so easily to Mahavir is that he's a very hard man to dislike. He's very open and friendly, and very good at keeping up with friends. He charms people through the clever tactic of... actually taking an interest in what they have to say. He's an exceptionally open person, and very polite. All of it adds up to the sort of person people just tend to get along with. Even in cases where he seemingly has nothing in common with another person, he'll try to find some small shred of common ground to stand on. He knows how to talk to people, and it's never failed him thus far. He's not really taking advantage of people exactly, but he'd be lying if he said he hadn't benefited immensely from being so likable.

FLASHY
xxx»» It's not so much that Mahavir tries to stand out. He just does, it's in his nature. He dresses very well, but very ostentatiously. It's not so much that he's trying to put his sexuality on display, but it's certainly a factor. He tends to get slightly frustrated when handsome men don't realize he's flirting with them. Especially since he's rather obvious about it. In addition, he finds that dressing a little eccentrically can open a lot of conversations, as well as attract interesting people. He likes the attention, but it's more that he likes the end result than he actually likes being focused on. Truthfully, he'd rather use his loud appearance to draw people in, and then talk about them. He's an open book, so it's not hard to get to know him. He finds that other people tend to be much more interesting, and would rather talk about them than himself.

CHILDHOOD
xxx»» Mahavir was the fourth child of Sahil Chahal and his wife Sarah Eaton-Chahal, and the youngest grandchild on either side of his family (at least, up until the birth of Anandi ten years later). His father's family was very close-knit, and he was a full five years younger than the next-youngest cousin on his mother's side. He was also the only son, and his maternal grandparent's only grandson. The combination resulted in a lot of attention being foisted on him from many sides, resulting in an exceptionally happy childhood and an exceptionally happy child. He wanted for nothing, and generally, wanted nothing, though he'd never turn down a gift when it was offered. He was very spoiled, but rarely asked for anything. Most of the time, something was in his hands before he'd even realized it was a thing to be desired. He grew out of this somewhat as he got older, becoming a little demanding at times, but he was never unreasonable, so the family was content to let it slide.

SCHOOL YEARS
xxx»» Like most of his family, Mahavir was sorted into Ravenclaw. Unlike his family, he didn't tend to do very well in school. He was very much a typical Ravenclaw, but not the way his relatives were. While most of them tended to be more book smart, reading and consuming and memorizing and learning, he was of a more artistic bent. He was easily distracted in his lessons, frequently zoned out if the material didn't interest him, and generally didn't seem to care much. The only areas in which he really shined were his creative outlets; Mahavir was a clever child, and exceptionally talented. He was quite the artist, in many respects, and what he lacked in booksmarts he certainly made up for in creativity. Where his cousins and siblings would falter because there was no logical solution, he would find an unusual answer, leaving them all scratching their heads and wondering how he'd done it. His grades upon graduating were nothing spectacular, but he wasn't overly worried about it.

ADULTHOOD
xxx»» While Mahavir's paternal family wasn't very well-off, his mother's muggle relatives were exceptionally wealthy. They also believed firmly in having a 'gap year' that could be used to travel, thinking that few things could enrich a young man like discovering the world. Mahavir was more than happy to take advantage of their willingness to fund his travels, and ended up being out in the world for a bit longer than the intended year. At first, his grandparents didn't see any harm in it, figuring that nothing bad could come of the experience. But, as time wore on, they had to admit that it seemed rather like Mahavir had no desire to come home and make a living for himself. It wasn't that he was trying to mooch off his relatives, of course, he was just having such a good time that it didn't occur to him that it should have to end.
xxx»» Eventually, the decision was made for him; his grandfather wrote him and let Mahavir know that he had another six months to enjoy himself, and then he would have to come home. Not concerned, he made the most of those six months, and returned home on schedule. Unfortunately, he still didn't seem particularly inclined to 'grow up', and basically couch surfed between relatives. He was always a welcome addition to the household, helping with cooking and cleaning and childcare, but there was still a distinct lack of responsibility in his life. Eventually, both sides of his family agreed to discontinue supporting him, to force him to learn to support himself. They helped him find a relatively cheap flat in Newcastle, and then waited for him to find a job. When he didn't seem to be making much headway in that department, they collectively agreed to give him a date by which they would cease paying his rent, regardless of his employment status.

xxxP E R S O N A L I T Y xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

■ COMICAL He loves to laugh and make others feel better with laughter. Sometimes he can barely keep himself straight (ha!) and serious because he always finds the funny side of life.
■ DEPENDABLE Once he gives his word he will never back down or away. He'll always be there to lend a hand for hard work or a shoulder to cry on.
■ OPTIMISTIC Ciaran's always been a "glass is half full sort of guy" or rather, "if you saw the top of the glass off then it'll be full-full." He can always look on the brighter side of every situation no matter how dark it might be.
■ LOVING Once he's in love he loves freely and deeply. This could be for either familial or romantic as he retells how he fell in love at first sight with his children and ex-husband.
■ FREE-SPIRITED He's always been a bit of a wild child, this could be because his mother was young while raising him or because he spent most of his childhood days running around in the forest-like park down from his home. He loves expressing himself in words, his arts, and especially in his cooking. And of course physically, he's always the first to initiate a hug.
■ STUBBORN Ciaran will not budge once he's made his decision, right or wrong despite what anyone tells him. That said he will also stand besides his friends and family without hesitation no matter how many times they may tell him to leave.

CHILDHOOD I was raised by me Mum after my Dad walked out on us when I was three when she was just barely in her twenties. She did the best she could with me but I didn't exactly make it easy for the old girl. Not that I was bad just...a tad wild. I'd disappear for hours during the day nearly scare her socks off just to come back dirty with odd and random things in my pockets. Or my hands. Or my hair. So, yadda yadda yadda the joys of boyhood and now on to the good stuff! I got a letter accepting me to this magic school in Britain totally throwing me and my Mum through a loop but equally exited and terrified me. Who did I know in the wizarding world? Nobody! But, I still decided to give it a shot.

SCHOOL YEARS

I went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was placed into Hufflepuff by a barmy old hat. So here I was lost and alone in a huge magic school and had just found myself stranded outside to see an older boy flying on an honest to goodness broomstick. It was mesmerizing to tell ya the truth, seeing someone effortlessly control their broom like he did and I found myself wanting to be closer to the mysterious guy. I probably should have gone about in less stalkerish ways but it caught his attention, which was what I both wanted and feared. What if he didn't want anything to do with me? Luckily, Aedan was nice and I didn't have to beg him nearly as much as I thought for him to teach me to ride and play Quidditch like he did. Besides him I also met a halfblood (weirdwordsthesewizardscomeupwith), a rather high strung girl named Amata and we soon became thick as thieves. Next year came and I tried out for the team and actually got a spot as Keeper thanks to him and managed to keep afloat in all my classes as well. But, of course since he was a bit older, he graduated and left my as Captain. I'll admit it I was a bit emotional when he graduated but I made sure to keep in contact with him. I didn't want him to think I forgot him or anything! Years went by, quidditch was played, knowledge was learned, yadda yadda yadda, and soon it was my sixth year. I walking along Diagon Alley buying myself some of these awesome wizarding sweets when I ran into Aedan. And hot damn he had gotten fine! We went to lunch and it was like being back in the common room with him trying to explain why I would need to change a napkin into a lamp. We kept meeting over the next few weeks and by the time I was back on the Hogwarts Express I had myself a boyfriend.

POST GRADUATION Two years went by in blissful happiness before I actually moved in with him and soon we were even engaged then married. Who'd have thought that stalking actually works?! We lived for while together in London before Aedan got the bad news about his older brother getting attacked and dying by a werewolf. After little persuasion we sold the home and moved to Ireland to be near his sister-in-law and the kids. Each of them was going through grief at different times so we made sure to divide our time equally between them all. For Jar it took a while for him to realize his Da wasn't coming back but I'd like to think he's doing better now because of us. Pru of course cried for a while but we patched her up right as rain. Jar was broken up for a bit but he finally came around as well. For a while just looking after them was enough but then Aedan started getting the idea of getting a tyke of our own. I was a bit apprehensive (scared out my ruddy wily mind!) but he talked me into it so we went to the orphanage to...well there's no good words to express looking at little kids and picking one out to actually adopt! As awkward as I was about the whole thing, I soon and very quickly fell in love with three little ones, Kenny, Rhys, and Caty. All magical which was quite a surprise! We adopted them and soon said our goodbyes to Kenny as he went off to Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin. He may have tried to hide it but I could tell in his letter that he was afraid that his sorting would disappoint his Da and I since we were both Hufflepuffs. A well decorated care package soon soothed any ill feelings, I was just happy he was happy. Just a few years after Kenny started school, Aedan's business took off over night and he was suddenly swamped with orders for his broom which left very little time for the fam. But I was supportive, I knew how long and hard he had worked for this so I chose to over look or explain away his absences from the family. Which worked for a while. But then they got more pronounced until I couldn't even truly answer when the last time I saw him was. I want to say the last straw was the wedding between Westley's son and his long time girlfriend, in which he of course did not show up, but I'd be lying if I didn't think the straw had been broken pretty early on. It was lit aflame when Kenny left the house, not running away like he had before but actually moving out because he couldn't stand to live under the same roof. I was heartbroken and I had thought I had gotten through to him when I saw how he was finally interacted with Rhys and Caty. But I was wrong. When my little Rhys finally went off and was sorted into Ravenclaw (huuuuge surprise, notreally) it was even more obvious how much he was away and how much he was barely trying to fix our strained family. Finally I couldn't take it any longer and slid divorce papers I had gathered months ago underneath the door of his workshop and had been surprised by seeing them filled out on my bed the next morning. I really don't know which is worse: the fact that he didn't even face me, or the fact that he willingly gave up his children without a fight.

After the divorce I was rather low for a while. Not like, suicidal low but I wasn't looking after myself as well as I probably should've. Especially after that huge blowup between me and Rhys when he heard about the divorce. Just when I thought I was getting my family on the mend I found out that my Caty-Kat had been self harming and having these wild mood swings. We finally had a break through, with her and as a family I believe even adding in all the craziness with Jojo being kidnapped and Kenny being bitten and turned into a werewolf. But finally, finally I think I'm in a good place. Then I met Nirav and my god was he beautiful. Inside and out as it seems. I'm rather surprised he still wanted to continue our relationship after hearing everything but it's more of a relieved thankful surprised than an ungrateful one. Did I mention he was adorable?

It took a few years of pushing and prodding from both sides of the family for me to actually pop the question to Nirav and I was ecstatic when he said yes (have I mentioned how adorably adorable he is?) During the time of our engagement, both our youngest graduated from Hogwarts, Rhys and Gideon got married, and Caty even got engaged! We were both sort of over a large production wedding considering we'd both done it before so we settled on a simple wedding if only to get the minor details out of the way. As far as I was concerned, we'd been finalized the night we both slipped on our engagement rings. Besides, this way we can focus all the attention and energy onto Caty's wedding and perhaps another engagement/adoption down the line.
