I smiled as everyone slowly piled their way into the station. My daughter Zariah stood in front of me with her cart and Hogwarts robes on. I held my young son Zachary in my arms as he stared with wide eyes at the crowds of people milling about.

"Mum! There's Uncle Harry and Albus! Can I go over there?"

I slightly laughed and nodded my head at her. She beamed and ran over to my nephew as I walked over to my brother and Ginny and hugged them tightly, before hugging James and Lily. James ran over to his friends as Ron and Hermione walked up with their children. Rose went over to Zariah and Albus and Hugo took Lily and walked away. Draco came up from behind me and wrapped his arms around my bulging stomach before kissing me tenderly and grabbing our son from my arms. I turned to see Scorpius messing with his sister, and talking happily with his cousins.

The six of us talked as we waited for our children to head off. It was crazy to think that Albus, Scorpius, Zariah, and Rose would be starting their first year. Last year when James had started, my brother bawled his eyes out for a good month. Over the years, we had grown up a lot. Draco and I had never been happier, and my brother accepted that.

Our fourth, and hopefully final, child was due to be born later that year. Scorpius and Zariah were our first borns, twins none the less, and they had been a handful. Zachary was born when they were six, and we had not expected him. I was hoping we would have another girl. Zariah was too much of a tomboy for my liking somedays, but my daughter was incredibly bright.

I saw Bian walking in with Neville and smiled to myself. They had married only recently, since Neville's first wife had passed away after delivering their child. Bian had helped Neville raise his young son, and the two had fallen in love and were now expecting a child of their own.

I let my head rest on Draco's shoulder, and he placed a small kiss on my forehead. Things had worked themselves out in ways I could have never imagined. I was happier than I ever thought I could be, and I fell more in love with my husband as the days went by.

Zariah and Scorpius chose window seats and happily waved goodbye to us, and my brother laughed as tears formed in my eyes. It didn't seem like it had been as long as it had been, since I first boarded the Hogwarts Express. Zack waved goodbye to his older siblings, little tears falling down his cheeks, and I smiled softly at him.

"One day soon, you too will be boarding that train with Scorpius and Zariah, but for now, you're still my little boy, and you get to stay home with me."

Draco and I laughed together as our son beamed from ear to ear. We slowly made our way out of the station and I turned back in time to see the train completely disappear.

"Don't worry love, the worst that can happen is they'll fall madly in love with a ferret," Draco said while winking.

"Oh, shut up Malfoy," I said, laughing, before kissing him softly.
