September 1st 2017
"Morning, Grindelwald's!" Johnny said cheerfully as he walked into the kitchen on the morning of September 1st. This was a big year for the Grindelwald children. Winona and Delphini were entering their seventh and final year at Hogwarts, while Rhett was entering his sixth year. Noah Harry Grindelwald, their nine year old and youngest child would be entering the school in two years time.

Johnny and Hermione were immensely proud of their three children, all three of them came out with all O's in their O.W.L examinations, and therefore qualified to take all of their electives for N.E.W.T level. Winona wanted to be a teacher like her father, whereas Delphini wanted to be a Quidditch player after becoming Slytherin Quidditch Captain and Beater, winning the Quidditch Cup three times in a row. Rhett had no clue what he wanted to do at the moment, he was undecided on entering the Ministry alongside his mother or becoming a zoologist like his hero, Newt Scamander.

"Morning, Dad," the four kids said in unison, grinning as their father kissed their foreheads.

"Morning, Angel," Johnny grinned, wrapping his arms around Hermione's waist from behind as she stood at the oven, flipping their bacon.

"Good morning, Bubs," Hermione leaned back against him, tilting her head back to kiss her husband on the cheek. "Ready for another action packed year?"

"I've been ready for an action packed year at Hogwarts since I was thirteen," the two giggled. Once breakfast was ready, Johnny dished it out onto plates and sat in between Noah and Rhett, silently listening to his Rhett and his friends had planned to prank Daphne Greengrass, the History of Magic Professor. Rhett knew he'd end up in detention with his father, but they'd just sit and chat for an hour before Johnny would send him away.

"Off we trot then," said Johnny when his watch struck ten o'clock. After making three trips to the car because of the heavy cases, Johnny shut the boot off his magicked Ford EcoSport and leaned against it, panting.

"Are you alright, Dad?" Winona asked, sticking her head out of the window.

"I'm to old for this shit," said Johnny, causing the kids in the car to laugh as he got in the drivers seat. After double checking the three that were leaving for Hogwarts had all their things and their respective owls, Johnny put the car in motion. After a short ten minute drive, the family piled out of the car at Kings Cross Station, and Johnny ran across the street to get three trolleys.

"Here we are then," Johnny said as he followed the kids through the station to the pillar between Platforms 9 and 10. The Grindelwald family ignored the strange looks they were receiving for their owls and met up with Harry and Ginny and their kids.

"Oh god, here comes trouble," Harry joked when he saw Johnny. The two laughed as they embraced and their kids groaned at their humour.

"Can't believe they let you out of the house," Johnny grinned, punching his best friend lightly in the stomach, nodding towards Noah and Lily Luna Potter, who were talking with their hands linked. "As the kids say these days, I ship it."

"I hate you so much," Delphini groaned from besides him, causing the two men to chuckle as Johnny kissed her head. The Grindelwald family followed the Potter's through, leaving just Hermione and Johnny.

"Excuse me," called a voice from behind them, causing Hermione and Johnny to turn on the spot. A thin man, with his wife and eleven year old girl approached them slightly out of breath. "Uh, this may sound absolutely crazy, but do you know where Platform 9 and 3/4's is? It's my daughters first time."
