"Scorpius, Severus! Gather your things!" I called to my boys. Draco was seated beside our daughter, reading the paper as he sipped his cup of coffee.
"What about me, mommy?" Jupiter asked, taking a sip of her orange juice.
"I want you to finish breakfast so we can all go see your brothers off." I beamed at my nine year old.
"Okay, mommy!" Jupiter smiled, chomping down on her last piece of bacon.
"Boys!" I called again, sighing when I heard the pair of them laughing upstairs. I moved toward the staircase, but Draco beat me to it.
"I'll get them, love." He said, kissing my temple as he passed me.
"All done, mommy!" Jupiter beamed, showing me her clean plate.
"Good girl. Now, go get dressed so we can go." I told her, taking her plate to the sink. She ran off upstairs while I tidied up the kitchen.
"Got them!" Draco sounded. I turned around and giggled at the sight before me; Draco had Severus over one of his shoulders and Scorpius under his other arm.
"Oh, my boys." I smiled. "What am I going to do with you all?"
Draco placed both boys in front of me, ruffling their hair before going in search of our daughter.
"Scorpius, you have all your things?" I asked my eldest son. At twelve, he was heading into his second year at Hogwarts.
"Yes, mom." He nodded, flashing me a grin.
"Good." I smiled back.
"I'll wait for Jupiter by the door!" He beamed, running off to wait for his sister.
"And what about you, Severus?" I asked, fixing his unruly blond hair. "Got everything?"
"Yes." He nodded.
"Alright, once Jupiter and your father come down, we'll go."
========
"Mom?" Severus asked before we made it to the platform.
"Yes?" I hummed, glancing down at my son behind his cart full of his trunks.
"I'm scared." He admitted. I gently pulled him away from his cart and nodded for Jupiter and Draco to take it to the platform.
"What's got you scared, Severus?" I asked, kneeling down to his level.
"What if I don't end up in Slytherin like you, or dad, or Scorpius?" He asked, playing with the hem of his shirt.
"There's no shame in being in another house, Severus." I told him.
"It's just, I want to be like you and dad, and like grandpa, too." He muttered. I sucked in a breath as he spoke of my father, but smiled fondly at him.
"I was almost a Gryffindor." I told him with a smile.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah, and your uncle Fred was in Gryffindor." I nodded.
"I love uncle Fred!" He exclaimed.
"And my friend, Cedric, was in Hufflepuff." I informed him.
"Wow." He mused, taking my hand.
"So, no matter where your house is, I'll be proud of you." I told him, fixing his hair once more. "Now, are you ready to go to the platform?"
"I can't wait to get to Hogwarts." He told me, dragging me through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. I laughed as he let go of my hand and raced toward Draco and Jupiter.
"Stay with your brother, Scropius." Draco told our eldest.
"I will." Scorpius nodded. "We'll be with Amos and Desdemona on the train."
I smiled fondly at the mention of my god-children. Amos Desmond Diggory and Desdemona Finch Weasley were named after me for saving their father's lives, something the wholeheartedly believe is the most amazing thing ever.
"Auntie Des!" Amos yelled, wrapping his arms around me. I hugged him back as another pair of arms circled my waist.
"You guys can't just run o-" Cedric sounded, chasing after his son.
"Oh, they've just seen their aunt." Fred laughed, shaking his head at his daughter. I leaned down and pressed a kiss to each of their foreheads.
"Stick together." I told them. Desdemona and Amos would be attending their first year along with Severus, so Draco and I had little worry for our son.
"Come on!" Desdemona called, grabbing Severus's hand. "I hope I get sorted into Gryffindor so I can see the Common Room! Dad's told me so much abou-"
Their conversation faded away as they boarded the train, leaving Draco and I to smile fondly at them.
"I'm so proud." I fake cried, wiping an imaginary tear from my eye.
"Us too." Draco, Cedric, Fred and George chorused, causing me to jump.
"Where did you even come from?" I asked, placing a hand over my heart.
"Places." He answered cheekily.
"Yeah, yeah." I rolled my eyes, offering my hand to Jupiter. "Come on, Jupiter, let's go places."
========
"Our boy is a Ravenclaw!" Draco called, reading the letters that just came in. I walked into the kitchen and smiled proudly as Draco showed me the letter.
"If he's anything like me, he'll excel in Ravenclaw." I grinned, knowing my boys would do great things.
"Desdemona is also in Ravenclaw." Draco informed.
"Ah, my little mini-me." I snickered.
"And Amos is in Hufflepuff, just like his father." Draco finished, placing the letters down onto the table.
"A Slytherin and a Ravenclaw." I commented, noting the houses of our sons.
"Perhaps we should have another kid so he can be in Hufflepuff." Draco teased, raising an eyebrow.
"So, you're finally admitting that Jupiter is going to be a Gryffindor?" I questioned, giving my husband an amused grin.
"She's too pure for Slytherin, but not pure enough to be a Hufflepuff. And she's extremely smart, just like her mother, but, she's got the heart of a lion." Draco caved, wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me down onto his lap.
"That's what I've been saying since she could speak." I reminded him, picking up the letters from his hand and skimming through them.
"I know, and, as usual, you are right." Draco smiled, pressing a kiss to my cheek.
"At this point, you shouldn't even bother arguing." I teased, turning to plant a kiss on his awaiting lips.
"So, about this other kid..." Draco trailed off, wrapping his arms around me.
