The day we met,

Frozen I held my breath

Right from the start

I knew that I'd found a home for my heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

"Bye Mum, I'll miss you!" said my eldest daughter Lily as she hugged and kissed me before she boarded the train for her 3rd year of Hogwarts.

I watched my daughter, who was so much more independent than I was at that age, meet up with her friends and even flirted with one of her fellow Gryffindor male friends. Something that made Harry a bit uneasy.

"I think I should go have a talk with that boy. Who's kid is he?" he asked me, glaring at the boy as the boy helped Lily with her trunk.

I smiled and placed my hand on his shoulder. "That's Ethan Nott, Theo and Tracey's son. He's totally harmless. A perfect gentleman. Just like you."

"Indeed. Still, I should-"

"Harry James Potter you will do no such thing." I scolded. "Besides, you have two other children to worry about yeah?"

We looked down at our twins, Jasmine and Jasper. Jasper looked completely confident and ready. Like his father, he was up for anything and everything. A shoe in for Gryffindor.

"Mum, I see Jonnie, can I go say hi?" asked Jasper and my Jasmine blushed at the sight of Jonathan Weasley, Ron, and Hermione’s son, who was waving Jasper over .

"Sure go ahead. But don't get lost." I said as my son took off at my words.

Jasmine, who stayed right next to Harry, grabbed onto his hand. Something she really hadn't voluntarily done since she was seven.

Harry looked down at his youngest daughter, the one that looked like a mirrored, female version of himself, right down to the emerald eyes.

"Something bothering you love?" asked Harry.

Jasmine shrugged. "Its nothing." she said quietly.

I motioned Harry to go on ahead with Jasper. I then knelt down to Jasmine and could see the fear in her eyes.

"Knut for your thoughts Jas?" I said, trying to start off our little joke.

Jasmine forced a small smile. "My thoughts are worth galleons." she replied.

"That's my girl. Now, what's wrong?"

Jasmine sighed. "Promise you won't get mad?"

"Of course not."

"I don't want to be a Slytherin." she said behind closed eyes.

I looked at her and couldn't help but laugh. "And why is that?"
