A/N: I hope this is alright... I like writing children lol.

“Are you sure?”
Filius and Pomona looked down at their son, standing between them. Pomona ran her hands down his light brown hair, leaning down and kissing him on the forehead. As she stood, Filius sank down to his ankles and looked up at him. Filius saw his own eyes looked back at him, gentle and bright – almost a mirror image. A proud smile crept its way onto his face, as he gently patted the back of the seven year old.
“Trust me Sean,” Filius said, standing back up.
Sean, determined, nodded his head, and took his first step onto the lawn of Hogwarts; Pomona and Filius watched from beside Greenhouse #1, as he made his way across. Sean didn’t look back at his parents, but kept his eyes trained on where he wanted to go.
“Anna?” he asked, his hands shaking nervously.
The little girl looked up, her blue eyes sparkling in the pure sunshine. “Hi Sean,” she smiled, and tucked her straight black hair behind her ear. She patted the grass next to her. “Come sit.”
Sean took a seat, his robes crumpling around him. Her eyes wandered to his shaking hands. “What’s that?” she asked, scooting closer to him.
Sean cleared his throat, passing Anna the purple flower in his hand. “I know you like purple... so... I got this from my mom’s gardens for you.” He looked up from the flower, to see her smiling down at it in wonder. “It’s a tulip.”
She grinned up at him. “I like it...” She brought the flower up to her nose, and inhaled the scent. She looked up at him, her nose still buried in the flower, and a smile on her lips. “But you know, I also like the colour green.” She giggled.
Sean blushed for a moment, embarrassed that he had forgotten. But his eyes soon lit up, when he answered, “ya, but the stem’s green!”
Anna giggled, and kissed him quickly on the cheek. “Thank you.” She looked down at the flower gripped tightly in her hand. “So... you wanna see if my mom’ll let us take the brooms up again?”
Sean nodded vigorously. “Yes!” he answered. As the word fell from his lips, Anna had already jumped to her feet and taken off towards the castle. It wasn’t long before Sean was hot on her heels, giggling after her.
On the other side of the lawn, Filius squeezed Pomona’s hand, as he led her in the opposite direction, into her greenhouses.
