 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
For he activity, Ary opted to focus on his family. After all, his family too was making positive contributions to the wizarding world in some way or the other; it was a fact he was super proud of. Without further ado, he headed up to collect some art supplies and one of the fancy trees.
Back at his seat, the fourth year commenced the project. Since he didn’t have pictures of his family members, and he was a terrible artist {so there would be no attempts by him to draw said family members}, it was decided that he’d write their names on neatly cut strips of cardboard and paste them onto the tree.
Ary began with dad Adi’s side of the family. First, two even strips of cardboard were cut with scissors. For added attractiveness, each strip was bordered by a coloured marker. In black marker, he wrote the names ‘Indira Rehman {nee Rai}’ and ‘Saieed Rehman - d. 2101}’ - one name each on the strips. From papa Benny’s side, the same was repeated for two strips with the names ‘Cassiopeia Atreyu - d. 2107} and ‘Lukas Atreyu’. Using magic, he arranged his grandparents at the top of the tree in their respective pairs. Using a string of shiny gold thread, Indira’s and Saieed’s names were joined to represent them as a couple and the same was done for Cassiopeia and Lukas. Beside Saieed’s name, a tag labelled ‘Amir Rehman’ was added as the two were brothers.
The names ‘Aditya Atreyu-Rehman’ and ‘Benjamin Atreyu-Rehman’ were done on respective cardboard strips - basically the same steps were repeated as were done for the grandparents. Shiny green thread was used to show that the boys were the offspring of the respective couples then gold thread was used to signify the marriage between his fathers. Then came their four kiddos, as was reflected on bordered strips of cardboard: ‘Rajesh Atreyu-Rehman’, ‘Nadia Atreyu-Rehman’, ‘Dynah Atreyu-Rehman’ and ‘Aryan Atreyu-Rehman’. The names were connected to Adi’s and Benny’s. Just above Dy’s and Nads’, another name was added: 'Sanjana Rai' and her name was linked to the girls by shiny black thread. Sanjana happened to be Ary’s aunt, Adi’s cousin and the twins’ surrogate mother. Three more names were written onto cardboard: Bryony Paton, Mandrake Beerey and Tamara Bowen. Silver threads were used to link Bry’s and Drake’s names to his {silver meant they were dating} while Tamara’s name was linked to Dy’s.
And that was it. That was his immediate family. |
