To this day many judge him for his past, but they had no idea what a loving husband and father he is.

Now standing here with both Seth and his mini-me, Peyton felt her chest swell.

When the man approached Xavier, Peyton sent him a kind smile and nod in greeting. She remembered him from when Serena got her wand. Ugh. And look at HER mini-me now, ready to go into her seventh year at Hogwarts. Why were these children growing up so fast? They needed to slow down.


Xavier’s pale green eyes tracked the man all the way up until he stood near him, wand candidates in hand. His little heart gave a mighty jolt. He wanted HIS wand NOW. But first he must go through the selection process.

“Hello,” Xavier greeted politely. Today he wore the mask of pure angelic innocence. He was Cupid’s descendant with his wavy light hair and fair eyes. His usually pale cheeks were a rosy color due to coming from the summer heat that is outside.

He nodded at the man’s instructions and reached for the first wand. He gulped as his small hand wrapped around it, the two platinum rings on his fingers gleaming in the light that reflected off them.

When he gave the wand a wave, a buzzing energy slithered down his arm to his fingertips. He momentarily lost control of the mask he wore, his eyes shooting into his dad’s direction. What was supposed to happen? What--

His mind paused at what seemed like white smoke swirled from the tip of the wand. It wasn’t smoke. He realized as he squinted his eyes, it was frost. His free hand drifted up to wave it away and little ice flakes stuck to his hand. There was something…cold about this wand. Maybe it was the frost it just let out, but it was something Xavier connected with at some level. The cold he sometimes felt in his chest, this wand understood it.

“Do I have to try the other one?” he asked, his small hand giving no hints of letting go of this wand.


The serious and stoic man was very observant, it was as if no detail even to the microscopic could sneak past him. Throughout the years he lovingly studied his wife closely and made it a goal to know her beyond every depth. Seth’s love for Peyton had no boundary and even in days he was exhausted or not feeling his best, her presence made all the negative emotions go away. No one knew him the way his wife and kids did, only they knew the capacity of Seth's heart.

Buuuuut do BEWARE of wronging his family, tread carefully because this wizard was lethal. Seth doesn’t play when it comes to his wife and kids. Period.

First Serena, his eldest and now Xavier. A lot of nostalgia flooded the mind as Seth stood there watching his son from a near distance. The pride he felt witnessing his youngest hold his first wand was indescribable. A wand selecting its owner could be triggering to the young wizard as it’s a new experience but Seth sent his most reassuring nod and mouthed words of encouragement: “Go on.” Once his son’s eyes met his. His son was doing wonderfully!

After some time it seemed like Xavier was bonding with the wand and the corner of Seth’s mouth formed a small and proud smile. But only briefly, one to two seconds at most. The superficial smile might have been brief but internally his smile was greater.
