Charlie + Nora

Charlie and Nora’s story happens as one would expect, accidentally and hilariously. After spending a few years in England as her home base, Nora decides that it’s once again time to set sail around the world. Perhaps her next great adventure is out there and she’ll be able to truly find herself. She accepts the offer to run a Magical Animals of the Amazon Rain Forest Preservation and it is a five-year contract. Many tears are shed, and Delilah Spinnet only allows her to go if she can throw her the grandest of good-bye parties. A Spinnet party is always something for the record books, and this one was no exception. The night before Nora was supposed to head off on this life-changing adventure she had far too much firewhiskey and woke up in bed beside her one true enemy, Charlie Spinnet.

Her shriek rivaled that of a banshee’s. His shriek rivaled that of a banshee. There was a lot of shrieking that morning, and jumping, and throwing, and curses (and curse words) flung. Kenneth joined in on the barrage of Charlie and the bloke managed to at least get his pants on before being pelted to death.

Nora landed in the Amazon with no other bumps. Well…

She figured it out a few weeks later and cried for a full day. How could this happen? It was the most miserable feeling in the world to be pregnant with a baby from a man she couldn’t hold a five minute conversation with. Charlie would never want to raise a child with her and she didn’t with him. They hated each other, it was one stupid drunken night that shouldn’t ruin the rest of their lives. It made no sense to keep the baby, but a family had been something Nora felt like she had been searching for these past few years.

Deciding it was for the best, Nora didn’t owl home about her surprise. Charile was off winning World Cups and she was saving the Amazon. It was lucky for her that she was so good at charms, it made waddling through riverbanks and foliage much easier. With the bare minimum of healing equipment, her pregnancy went rather smoothly; women had been doing this in the jungle for centuries! The day she went into labor was the most exciting and terrifying day of her life.

Her son was born at precisely midnight. And then her daughter was born at 12:05.

Bloody brilliant.

Charlie + Nora

Three months and four years later, Nora, Jack, and Brynn make their way back to England and surprise the hell out of Nora’s family and friends. Delilah, who had a brood of her own now, ranted and raved at Nora about all the missed birthday parties they could have had, Kate sized the twins up to see if they’d be fit for her own children’s quidditch teams, and Charlie figured it out rather quickly.

Oh, the row they had. Charlie was married, expecting what he thought was his first son. How were they supposed to explain this? It took time, a lot of tears (“Gingers, of course they’re both gingers!”), quidditch jerseys to be fitted, and a lot of curse words, but life sorted itself out . Nora took hold in Ireland and twins got to grow up with the best of all worlds. Charlie devotes his time to the kids and is often heard telling funny tales about their mum that they all giggle about behind their hands when Nora glares. Amazingly, the big five year secret that Nora kept from him was what managed to make them friends, and now she can hold ten minute conversations with him. Maybe a little more.

Jack Keegan | Ravenclaw | Iain De Caestecker

Jack Keegan Peakes is a brilliant little nature lover like his mum, though he’s more into the why than who, what, or where. It was never a surprise (well, it was) to find creatures under his bed in tanks or a kneazle or two in his bookbag. Explosions were commonplace as he tried to figure out what plants and potions did what, and it carried him into Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, where he excelled at Herbology and Potions, leading him to open up his own apothecary using ingredients from all around the world (meaning he travels a lot, too!). Jack and Charlie were two peas in superbly different pods and it often took Charlie a while to understand what his son was going on about. But, there was an effort, and Jack did acknowledge it. He'd rather just be in his books and go on and on to his mum about his findings.

Brynn Moira | Gryffindor | Elizabeth Henstridge

Brynn Moira Peakes-Spinnet is a bouncing ball of energy. Nora after had to pull her out of trees in the jungle because the little girl needed to make friends with the sloth that was hanging around. She was more than thrilled to find out she had family and was immediately taken with her father. She wanted to be just like him when she grew up, and from the moment she was gifted her first broom her feet touched the ground approximately an hour’s worth of time for the rest of her life. Of course a Gryffindor, Brynn didn’t retain information as quickly as her brother, but she wasn’t drowning in studies. An average student, she breezed through school because she knew she was damn good at quidditch. She was drafted by the Kestrels as a keeper, obviously, and was allowed to wear her father’s retired number.
