Michal and Carys' story starts in Hogwarts. Of course, it could have started earlier if either had noticed the other's presence in summer league quidditch, but that point of contention is only brought up when one side of the argument is truly desperate. Why hasn't the trash been taken out yet? Because you ignored me in summer quidditch league when I was eleven, dear. So despite it being set perfectly in front of them, neither Michal nor Carys truly noticed each other until the fall of their seventh and sixth years respectably.

It had not been a good beginning of the year for either of them; Carys was dealing with the death of her father, and after years of unrequited pining, Michal had come to realize that the witch he'd (begrudgingly, after much internal protest) fallen for was being pulled behind closed doors by his best friend. So, set to avoid all kinds of gossip and stares, both Carys and Michal took to retreating to a place hardly any of the Gryffindor peers ventured, the library. It was there that they truly met, and, after a couple close calls with Madam Pince, squealing Third Years, and a significantly alcohol-infused watermelon, they began to quietly (and then not so quietly) think of themselves as a couple.

When it was time for Michal to leave Hogwarts and Carys to return for her final year, they split perfectly amicable, deciding that it would be the best to start the next chapter in their lives without any one thing holding the either of them back. And, if things went right, the fans they would undoubtably have after becoming wildly famous for their quidditch skills would have a jolly time imaging the ultimate "what if" they stayed together between now and that ideal future. Their parting was bitter, and sad, but both knew it was for the best, and feared soiling the good memories of their rehabilitation and good relationship with a long, dragged-out breakup.

In 1981, Carys and Michal met again many years later at a charity gala neither felt particularly enthused about attending, but nonetheless were obligated to do so in light of the final, eminent end of the war in addition to contractual duties. Both thought it nice to catch up, and separately wished there had been more time to be witty and impressive, but at the end of the night they both went to bed alone and thinking of the other.

Spring of the next year led to debilitating injuries for both Michal and Carys, leaving them with too much time on their hands and little to fill it with. Serendipity put them in the same Mungo's clinic, but the comfort of an old friend with old habits led to the reblossoming of their relationship. A year went by with relative career success as they both returned to the pitch (Carys being named captain of the Caerphilly Catapults and Michal gaining respectable international recognition), and then another until it was 1984 and Michal found himself boxed into the corner of his own bedroom, naked, while Carys loudly demanded what was taking him so long to propose to her with this ring that they both knew he had purchased months ago! Seth Wadcock was horrible at keeping secrets, everyone knew that!

Carys and Michal quietly married in Italy a few months later surrounded by close family and friends. Their post-married life wasn't much different than their pre-married life, having been together for so long, but eventually a shock did eventually jolt their lives. In April 1985, Carys announced triumphantly atop Michal one night that she was pregnant, and bet him five galleons he would soon be so surrounded by mountains and mountains of girly things such as ribbons, dresses, unicorns, and pink that undoubtably his head would explode. And that she was looking forward to it.

Ifan Lynch was born, much Michal's relief, a healthy baby boy, and quickly showed signs of much borrowed character from his parents. Always curious, always stubborn, and always in the know, Ifan grew up quite sure he would one day rule the quidditch world. Sorted into Gryffindor, he found himself with many friends and only allowed his parent's fame to obtain trivial desires such as excellent seating and free food. Blessed with a great quidditch lineage, the entire wizarding world expected, upon finishing his Hogwarts education, Ifan to take the quidditch world by storm. And while he did so, it was not in the way his peers or parents had expected: instead of signing the lucrative five-year contract with Puddlemere United, Ifan took an unpaid internship with the sports section of the Daily Prophet and began his career as a well-respected sports writers in the wizarding world. Of course, it helped that he knew most quidditch players on a personal level, and that lended to his popularity with candid and fresh reports and interviews, but that never bothered Ifan much. He was always well aware of his talent.

*super close to being Lloyd Lynch, but Michal said why mama
