The Half-Blood Princess (A Snape and Astoria Fanfic)

Epilogue-11 Years Later

Snape and Astoria walks into King Cross Station with their son, Septimus, who was now eleven years old, and their daughter Lily Eileen Snape, who was 8. Septimus looks a bit like Snape, when Snape was his age. His jet-black hair slightly longer than normal, his dark brown eyes looking around in awe, while holding his mother's hand. Lily looks like her mother. Jet-black curly hair, brown eyes, and a warm smile. She was holding her mother's other hand. Snape was pushing a trolley that carried his son's school supplies for the year and his owl, Ares. They stop at the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Snape knelt down to his son's level and said, smiling, "Now it's quite simple, Septimus. You just walk right through the barrier between platform nine and ten, and you will find yourself at platform 9 3/4. You can run, if you feel nervous. Your mother will go with you." Septimus smiles at his father and says, "Ok father." Snape smiles and stands up to his full height again as he said, "Watch me first, son." Septimus stood by his mother as he watches his father walk quickly at the wall between platforms nine and ten. His jaw drop as his father disappears into the wall. Astoria chuckles at the expression on her son's face. Astoria asks, "Are you ready, son?" Septimus looks a little nervous, but nods at his mother, "Yes, mother I'm ready." Astoria says, "Hold my hand tightly. You too Lily. At the count of 3. 1....2.....3!" Septimus and Lily, holds their mother's hand tightly as they run at the wall. They come out on the other side. Septimus once again had an expression of shock as he sees the scarlet train that will take him to Hogwarts. Lily looks at the train wide-eyed. Puffs of smoke billowing from the train. The words 'Hogwarts Express' on the front of the train.

Astoria smiles, "Come along Septimus, Lily." They look for Snape. They found him talking with Harry and Ginny. Harry and Ginny have 3 children, James Sirius Potter, Albus Severus Potter, and Lily Luna Potter. The 2 boys were the ones going to Hogwarts. Astoria walks up to them and smiles, "Well, hello there, Harry." Harry smiles, "Hello. Wow is this Septimus? He's grown quite a bit since I last saw him, and who is this young lady?" Astoria smiles, "Yes. He's the same age as your son Albus, I believe. This is Lily, our daughter." Harry smiles, "Yes. He is. Boys come say hello to Septimus and his parents. Lily look whose here." James and Albus smiles as they run up to them. Albus alone, had inherited Lily's eyes. The other 2 children had Ginny's eyes. Albus smiles and said, "Hi Septimus." Septimus smiles back and said, "Hi Al." James said, "Hey Septimus." Septimus said, "Hi James." The boys starts to talk amongst each other. Lily lets go of Ginny's hand, runs up to Lily Snape and hugs her in delight. Lily hugs her back, grinning. The girls start chattering about what it would be like to be at Hogwarts and what they did over the summer. Snape smiles then looks at Harry and Ginny, "How have you two been?" Harry replies, "We've been good and you?" Snape replies, "Astoria and I are doing well, thank you." Ron comes up with Hermione, "Well, fancy meeting you all here." Harry, Ginny, Snape, and Astoria chuckles. Rose runs up to the boys and spots Septimus., "Hi Septimus. Hi Lily, How have you two been?" Septimus smiles, "I've been good, thanks for asking. Mum and Dad taught me loads, so that I'd be ready for Hogwarts." Lily said, "I'm doing good too. Mum and dad are teaching me too. They want me to be ready like my brother." Rose smiles, "That's great! Mum and Dad made sure I was ready too." Ron mutters, "Your mom made sure of that." Hermione elbows him. Ron whines, "What?" The others chuckle at him. Scorpius ran up to them and smiles, "Hello." Septimus said, "Hi Scorpius." The others say hi as well. Draco came up panting slightly with the trolley, "Scorpius, how many time do I have to tell you. No running ahead of us like that. You can get lost easily that way." Scorpius looks down and said, "I'm sorry father." Draco hugs his son, "It's alright. I'm only trying to protect you. That's all." Scorpius smiles. Astoria Geengrass, finally catches up, "My apologies, our son was so excited to meet up with his friends." Harry said, smiling, "It's alright." Ron said, smiling, "No worries." Snape said, " Hello Draco, It's quite alright. How are you?" Draco smiles. "I'm doing well, Thank you, Godfather. How are you?" Snape smiles, "I'm doing well. Thank you, Draco." Draco smiles, "That's good to hear."
