The time away was difficult because she missed her home at Hogwarts, along with maybe a few specific friends she’d made during her time there. But visiting with her family was mostly nice, when her mom wasn’t nagging and her dad wasn’t worrying.<br/><br/><em>“When are you going to make us grandparents, sweetie?”</em>Her mom asked every single time Viola visited. When she was met with an eye roll or a heavy sigh, she’d just go on.<em>“I’m just saying, you’re not getting any younger. And the older you get, the harder it is to have kids. I don’t care how magical you are!”</em>Eventually, Viola would give up and just hide herself in her room, so she could knit in peace.<br/><br/>Her father would often jump in at that point, though it had already escalated to an uncomfortable level.<em>“Why do you have to put so much pressure on her, dear?”</em>But her mother had an answer for everything.<em>“She’s getting too comfortable in her single life. I want her taken care of and provided for. Don’t you? Besides, if she waits too long, it might be too late… and then she’ll forever regret it.”</em><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://storage.makerist.de/uploads/orderable_image/388272/image/image_d1550871.jpg)</div>Despite her age, Viola’s parents still felt that they knew what was best for her. But, it wasn’t like she had any prospects on the horizon. And it wasn’t like she was in a hurry to pop out babies when she wasn’t even sure that she wanted to pick one person to marry and stay married to forever. The very idea was difficult to imagine; waking up next to the same person every single day? Viola couldn’t even keep a relationship going for longer than a couple of months!<br/><br/>When September rolled around, Viola was happy to travel back to Hogwarts again. Somehow, that was where she felt like she belonged, even though she was in her thirties. She arrived in the morning and had her luggage transported magically to her room in the Staff area. Instead of heading there to unpack, however, she walked around the grounds and searched for Flynn. Thankfully, she didn’t have to look too long, since he was right by the front entrance.<br/><br/>“Flynn?” She asked, as she walked up behind him, a warm and bright smile on her face. “I brought something back for you. Well, I actually made it… um, for you.” She held out her hands, where the present was revealed; a handmade, knit bird. Viola grinned a little wider. “I remembered you were a Thunderbird, right? Not that this is a thunderbird, but it’s a bird!” She chuckled nervously, her smile faltering slightly. Was he… sweaty?
