6 Year Old Henry and Annabeth
13 Year Old Arthur
A new year, it was the first day of 2015 and with still around a week left till Hogwarts students had to go back to school Henry and his older brother; Arthur decided to make the most of it. Henry almost fell as he ran from his shared room with his twin; Annabeth, dressed in black shorts and a light blue shirt the small boy ran all the way to his older brother's room as he then started to knock on the door. Henry spoke to the door " Arthur, are you up?" Henry stood quite patience for a six year old as he continued " you p..promised we can g..go exploring t..today Art," Henry smiled as he saw the door swing open to reveal a tall boy of thirteen with dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes dressed in jeans,
a short sleeve light blue shirt and a fade greenish jacket. The boy was Arthur knight as he started at his younger brother for a minute before smiling " I didn't say we'll go exploring at 8 in the morning Merlin."
Henry laughed a bit as he spoke to his brother " you never s..said a t..time Art," Arthur wrapped his arms around his younger brother and held him for a minute or so as he spoke " let's get breakfast first okay Henry," Arthur kept his arm around Henry as the two walked toward the kitchen. Arthur took his seat next to Henry who looked at his brother and laughed as the two started to push each other's hand for a bit.
Their mother; Ivy was busying making breakfast when their father; Luke came into the room all excited as he spoke " alright everyone, no wandering today. I have big news," Henry looked over at his father with his brother as his father started speaking again " my younger sister, your aunt and her children are coming today for a visit and I want you all on your best behavior."
Henry watched Annabeth walked in and sit across from him before he spoke " b..but I wanted t..to go exploring with Art t..today. T..there's this t..tree nearby with a f..family of b..bowtruckles that I w..want to b..befriend," Arthur then pulled Henry onto his lap and held him there as he looked over to their father and spoke " we will don't worry father," Luke nodded to his oldest before going over to Ivy and whispering to her so their children couldn't hear what they were saying.
Henry was laughing on Arthur's lap as he hugged his younger brother, Annabeth rolled her eyes at the two and muttered under her breath " idiot's," Ivy looked over to her daughter for a second to say " language Annabeth," then went back to her whispering with Luke. Henry laughed a bit as he spoke " yeah Anna l..language," Annabeth then snapped back " wory about yur stutter Henry!" Arthur while continuing to joke around with Henry said " be nice Anna."

Althea is five years old and her sister, Lucy is about a year old
Althea´s parents had woken her up extra early that morning whispering softly that they would be going on a trip to meet her aunt and uncle, along with all of Althea´s cousins. Although her parents didn´t tell her the exact reason that they were going, the five year old thought that the party that occured the night before had something to do about it.
For breakfast, Althea´s dad had made her pancakes, and although they were Althea´s favorite food, she could only eat a bit of it. When her dad shot her a worried look, Althea through a pout, and then exclaimed,
¨Dad, I´m nervous!¨
Her father had only chuckled before putting another piece of pancake on Althea´s plate, which, after grumbling a bit, she ate. Her mother had walked into the kitchen a few minutes later, with Lucy held in her grasp. The rest of breakfast went smoothly, and before everyone knew it, it was time to head along their way.
They arrived at her aunt and uncle´s house at around 8:30, and suddenly, Althea found herself standing in front of the door to a place she had never been before. Nervous, she clasped at her dad´s pants as her mother rang to doorbell. When the door opened, and her mother suddenly started talking a mile a minute to the two other adults in the house, Althea had only the bravery to whisper ¨Hi.¨ as she stood, hoping that her cousins would be nice.

Henry was still laughing on Arthur's lap as the two were waiting to eat breakfast. Annabeth was playing with her fork as she watched their parents whisper to each other and simply rolled her eyes when Henry and Arthur got up from their chair and race toward the other side of the room which held a family type room. As push his hands against Henry's he fell to the ground which allowed Henry to jump on top of his brother. When he did Arthur wrapped his arms around Henry causing the to to laugh some more, they really did have a unique bond as they even missed the doorbell.
Their parent's however didn't as first their father rushed to opened the door and when he did he spoke " sister it's a pleasure to see you again and meet your family," Luke then waved his wife over and when Ivy was right behind Luke he continued " this is my lovely wife; Ivy," Ivy then smiled as she reached to shake the adults hands as she spoke " it's so nice to meet you all," meanwhile Henry and Arthur were still wresting hidden on the floor bit paying attention to anything around them when Annabeth walked over to them and whispered " idiots theirs peopo here."
Henry stopped wrestling with Arthur as his older brother hugged him before he spoke " you a..are not s..suppose to s..say t..that word Anna," Annabeth rolled her eyes at her twin before saying " they did no heer me! And it better then yur stuter Henry!" Arthur then got off the ground and helped Henry up who inched closer to Arthur allowing him to wrapped his arms around Henry and say " be nice Anna, you know Henry can't control it and is working on it. But you can control what words come out from your mouth," Annabeth just stuck her tongue out at her brothers when their father spoke " please come in, come," once they were all in Luke would then shut the door and they would say a semi small house but not to small. With a kitchen on one side with a dining table and the other where Henry and is siblings stood was a family/living room with a couch and a few comfy chairs as well as a bookshelf and a coffee table but no TV.
Luke then walked over to his children with Ivy whom kept her hands by her sides until they were probably in front of the other family. Ivy then put her arms around Annabeth who held her own hands by her side while Luke put one arm around Ivy and the other around Arthur whom kept both of his arms around Henry whom held onto his brothers hands. Luke then begin to speak " I suppose introductions are in place," Luke smile before looking over at Ivy and Annabeth before speaking " you already met Ivy but this is my daughter; Annabeth," Annabeth still spoke as she fell back into her mother's grip around her " Hi! I'm Anna!" Luke then smiled at his two boy's as he then spoke " and these are my two sons, the eldest is Arthur and the youngest is Henry," Arthur keeping his grip tightly on Henry spoke " it's a pleasure to meet you all, I'm Arthur like my father said."
Henry just held onto his brother hands and smiled at the small family in front of him, he was quite anxious and shy for his own age not to mention a bit worried about his stutter so he just stay quite as his father spoke again " it's been quite a while sister, how have you been? Anything new happened?" Yet this women he kept referring to as sister wasn't one by blood but by choice.

Sorry for the wait! School got really busy for a few days! @Henry Knight
Althea´s mom looked like she was about to burst with joy. Talking so quickly that Althea could barely keep up, and with exaggerated hand moments. Her father, always the calm one, stayed closer to Althea, smiling lightly, but staying out of the conversation. When her uncle introduced his own family, her mother waved, not wanting to immedietly hug her nephews and her niece, but still attempting to show just how excited she was to meet her extended family.
¨What a lovely introduction, well, this is my family¨Althea´s mother started, ¨This is my husband, Wilbur, and my eldest daughter´s name is Althea. The baby is Lucy.
Knowing that she was being introduced, Althea had managed to wave her hand. Now that she was inside her aunt and uncle´s house, she became less nervous, and now was more excited to get to play with her cousins.
She tugged on her dad´s pants again, and when he looked down, asked if she could go off with her cousins, and potentially play. Her father gave her a small smile, and then started speaking towards her uncle.
¨We´ve been quite busy these past years. Why don´t the children go off and play while we talk?¨
Pushing Althea lightly towards her cousins, the young girl´s parents turned back to the other adults, and began talking again.
¨Hi everyone.¨ Althea said, smiling towards her cousins, and hoping they would be able to play for a while the adults talking about boring adult topics.

Henry remained in his brother's grip as their father, probably for the first time, was smiling and griping Arthur's and their mother's shoulder's
He watched as Luke spoke again "you have a beautiful family sister," Henry side glanced his father as he spoke again " It's nice to meet you Wilber, your children also." Luke then wave toward the dining table as he spoke " shall we catch up then," Henry looked up to Arthur who was smiling, he was clearly happy to get to know their father family, Henry on the other hand wasn't sure as he looked at the two parents then the baby then the girl who looked around Henry's and Annabeth's age.
When their uncle suggested they go off in play while they talked, Arthur gave his father pleading eyes as Luke spoke " yes of course, Arthur I suspect will watch them while we talk," still gripping his younger brother Arthur spoke " but father I was hoping we could listen in to the conversation," Luke started on his way to the dining room table as he spoke "Arthur please." However the children knew that wasn't a question so Arthur rolled his eyes a bit as Ivy left Annabeth and smiled at Arthur before going to the dining table with her husband.
Arthur held onto Henry still as Annabeth walked a bit closer to the small group, the three children smiled at Althea when she said Hi. Annabeth crossed her arms before speaking in her six year old type of voice " so wht do you wnt to do?" Arthur looked around a bit clearly wanting to join the adults as Henry turned a bit and pulled his brother's sleeve a bit. Arthur acknowledged his younger brother and bent down a bit which allowed Henry to whisper in his ear so no one else can hear him, " c..can we g..go exploring now? D..don't you w..want t..to see the b..bowtruckles?" Henry gave his brother a smile before turning back and leaning into his brother as Arthur spoke " right so uh Althea right? We were originally going to go outside to see these bowtruckles, do you want to come with us?" however when he finished Annabeth rolled her eyes and snapped "ugh... can we do somthing no boring lke usal!" Arthur just stared at Annabeth before speaking again " we just need something from my room, if you want to come with us then I don't mind" Arthur started to his room as he kept his arm around Henry.
The two boy were walking down the hall when Annabeth spoke " Me and Henry are twins, want to se are room?" Annabeth waved her hand for her cousin to follow as she walked down the hall behind her brothers.
