Emmeline, Brad, and Laura Alise
Everyone on the planet is quite aware of Emmeline Vance's relationship issues, and it wasn't until after the war was over that she finally managed to find something solid and stable---of course, it just had to be with the boy she cheated on and whose heart she had broken, but sometimes it took people a rather long time to figure things out.

With most of their friends married and having their own families, Emmeline and Brad found themselves spending more and more time together, to reminisce, to simply avoid the sickeningly sweet happiness that was going around in their circle of people. But, eventually, Brad found some courage and kissed her again--hey, he'd already been through this once and survived, if it didn't work this time, at least he tried!

This time, it worked, and it wasn't long before they were engaged (okay, it was barely a month--they had been at this for a long time, already!) and Laura arrived in early January of 1983, on the fifth.

Laura's a happy child, going about her business with a smile on her face. She was always asking questions, and in unusual ways that confused even her Ravenclaw parents. Emmeline believes that with the combined effort of her and Brad making sure that Laura's childhood wasn't as messed up as either of theirs was the reason behind her being Sorted into Hufflepuff (okay, so she still held some stereotypes against the other Houses). Laura went through Hogwarts with relative ease, always willing to learn and using that natural instinct to take her into the field of research, and she often sends long and winding postcards from the exotic places she visits (to unravel the secrets of lost civilizations, of course!)
