"Please, Daddy?" Five and a half year old eyes looked up at Percy pleadingly.

"Oh, all right," he replied, looking as if he was making a great sacrifice by granting her wish, though it was no sacrifice at all. "Lift up your arms and hold on tight."

She did as instructed, practically vibrating with excitement as Percy lifted her into his arms. He couldn't resist a quick buss of her cheek as he swung her around and over to the wishing well where he perched her on the edge and wrapped his arms around her tightly in case she slipped. She looked down into the well, delighted beyond words, and from his sleeve he drew out a single coin.

"You know what to do."

She took the coin with overly careful fingers before screwing her eyes shut, moving her lips as she thought really hard, then opened her eyes to toss the coin into the well. As the coin hit the water with a splash, she squealed in delight.

"So, what did you wish for?" he asked as he did every time she made a wish at the well, and she responded the same way every time.

"I can't tell you that, Daddy. It won't come true!"

"That's exactly right, Pumpkin."

He lifted her from the edge of the well and swung her back to the ground, taking a moment to fix a lock of ginger hair before letting her go. He watched her run off to one of the flower beds, her red and gold robes bouncing along with her. He sighed happily. These were the days he lived for.

"Take that as a warning - too many of these little munchkins and you'll never get another moment's peace."

He shook his head. "No, that's unfortunately beyond our abilities. It seems we're doomed to having flowers on our tables, though we can at least cast preservation charms and others to get rid of any insects."

Lucy reached for him as if to give him a hug, but he held up a finger. "No hugs until you're clean." He pulled out his wand and cast a quick cleaning charm, then pointed it at Christopher. "May I?" he asked of Lisa, not wanting to spell her son without her consent.

"One's enough for me, at least for now," Lisa said. Children had never really factored into her life, right up until she'd found out she was pregnant. She regretted nothing, but she wasn't certain more children were in the picture for her.

She didn't mind flowers, but wished they hadn't come from a public park where they were meant to be enjoyed. She'd definitely be discussing this with Christopher later. "It will brighten up the flat at least." She'd have to remember the preservation charms.

At Percy's question, she nodded. Normally she liked to encourage the 'Muggle' way for things like cleaning up, and household chores, but there was no need for him to go about dirty when it could be taken care of so quickly. "Thanks. At least this will take care of them tramping about, getting soil everwhere."

Percy nodded and quickly cast a cleaning spell to relieve Christopher of dirt and mud. "There, now you don't have to worry about getting your Mum dirty." He smiled down at the boy and resisted the thought of ruffling his hair, something he'd seen his own father doing on many occasions to his brothers. But not to Percy, he'd been far too fastidious to appreciate such a gesture when he'd been young.

"Since these two seem to be getting on so well, if you'd ever like to arrange a playdate, please let me know. It's always a pleasure getting to know other parents around. Lucy deserves a change to play with children her own age."
