"That wand's more trouble than it's worth," said Harry. "And quite honestly," he turned away from the painted portraits, thinking now only of the four-poster bed lying waiting for him in Gryffindor Tower, and wondering whether Kreacher might bring him a sandwich there, "I've had enough trouble for a lifetime." (J.K. Rowling; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.)

TWENTY YEARS AND TEN MONTHS LATER

"Albus! James!"

The two boys were tackled to the floor of the station by a little girl with fiery red pigtails. Lily's bright blue eyes were shinning with pure joy at seeing her brothers. She would never admit it to them, but she had missed them more than ever.

"Geroff Lils," replied James to his little sister.

"It's good to see you too Lily," Was Albus's reply.

All of a sudden Lily was picked from behind and lifted high into the air. Lily had a quick glimpse of the smoky, bustling platform before she squeezed her eyes shut and started shaking with laughter.

"Dad, Daddy! Stop! Oh please!'' Screeched Lily in between laughter.

Finally after what felt like an eternity to Lily she was placed back on the ground. Harry walked over to his sons and gave them both bone crushing hugs.

"Daaad. I can't breathe!"

"Sorry James," Replied Harry with a smirk. His oldest son could be so dramatic.

James opened his mouth to reply but before a word could escape his lips the air was crushed out of his lungs once again.

"Oh James, Albus I've missed you both sooo much. I don't want you to ever leave me again," said Ginny as she hugged her two sons tightly.

"Um Ginny, if you don't let go soon James might faint. I don't think he can breathe with you trying to suffocate him," said Harry.

Ginny shot her husband a look but reluctantly let go of her two sons. James fell to the ground gasping as soon as his mother let go of him.

"Finally! I thought I was going to die."

Ginny playful kicked James lightly in the stomach while laughing. "Get up drama queen and go grab your luggage. I don't want you to forget it this year. Harry can you go with them and make sure they don't get into any mischief? Oh, and James. Don't forget your owl!" she yelled at the disappearing back of her son.

Harry nodded and went after his two sons who had disappeared into the train.

Lily turned to her mother with a pout on her face.

"Muuum why can't I go on the train with them? You never let me. Can't I go just this once?" whined Lily.

"Now lily you know why I don't want you on that train. If I've told you once I've told you a 1000 times…" Ginny was interrupted from her lecture mode by a shove in her back. Ginny whipped around and starred into cold gray eyes.

"Move out of my way blood traitor I'm walking here," said Draco Malfoy.

Ginny sputtered in disbelief.

"You walked into me Malfoy!" Ginny said the last word with so much venom that Lily thought she had said a swear word. "Besides why are you even at Kings Cross station. Wasn't your son expelled last year for cheating on my niece on all his tests and exam?

Malfoy glared at Ginny before responding. "I'm here on official Board of Education business. After the trouble that happened last year I was asked to keep an eye on the station to keep anything else from happening."

Ginny blushed when he brought up the trouble that happened last year. The year before James had performed some accidental magic when he saw the train pulling away with his luggage. James had just meant to stop the train, but instead the train levitated off the track and fell onto its side. No one was hurt, but it was pretty embarrassing for the Potter family.

"I would be careful Weasley. You don't want anything unfortunate to happen to your family, and if they keep having these accidents something might just happen to them." Malfoy leaned close to Ginny's ear and whispered ''I would watch your step Weasley."

Ginny ruffle pushed Malfoy away from her while glaring menacingly at him. Ginerva Weasley Potter did not like being threatened. At that moment Harry returned with his two boys in tow.

Harry stopped in his tracks when he saw Draco standing next to Ginny. "What are you doing here Malfoy?"

Draco stared at Harry his gray eyes cold as steel. "None of your business Potter, now I would stay out of matters that don't concern you."

Draco pushed past Lily. While he passed, Lily felt a hard tug on her head. She looked around to see what had caused the pain but couldn't find the problem. Lily rubbed her head as she turned toward her parents.

"Is everything all right Ginny? Did he bother you at all?" asked Harry concerned.

"I'm fine Harry. He was just being a typical Malfoy. Nothing happened," Ginny had decided not to tell Harry about the threat. Knowing Harry, he would probably go crazy and try to arrest Malfoy.

"Alright should we head back to the car then? We don't want to get stuck in all the muggle traffic." said Harry as he picked up one of the boy's trunks.

The small family of five pushed through the crowed platform before getting into line to go through the barrier.

"Alright everyone. I'll go first, then I want Lily, James, and then Albus. You bring up the rear Harry." said Ginny when they got to the top of the line.

Lily waited for her mom to go before running at the barrier at full speed. She always felt like she would crash into the barrier, so she always took off at a run. When Lily got to the other side she waited with her mum for her brothers and father. When the family was reunited on the other side they walked with the flow of the crowd toward the parking lot. James kept getting weird looks since her was carrying his pet owl Shadow. Shadow was pitch black with brown beady eyes. Lily was personally scared of Shadow.

While walking James talked adamantly about all the pranks he pulled at Hogwarts while Lily listened. When they got to the parking lot Harry did a point me spell and they easily found their car. The car had been enlarged so the three kids and owl could sit comfortably in the back, while their trunks were in the back.

Ginny turned around from the front to face her children in the back. "So James, what is this I hear about exploding toilets and pranking the charms teacher? You need to set a better example for Lily. I don't want her in detention on her first week."

"But mu…" Started James.

"Don't but mum me James Sirius Potter. I won't have you teaching your sister to be a trouble maker. You are too much like your Uncle George for you own good. If you and your cousin Fred get in a single detention next year I will come and drag you away from Hogwarts by your ear."

"Honey, don't over react. James is just being a kid. Getting in detention means he is enjoying the perks of Hogwarts." Said Harry while James ferociously nodded his head hoping to avoid getting grounded.

Ginny gave a sigh but nodded. "Alright, but he is still ground for a week."

Harry nodded. "I agree, that seems only fair."

"But daaad!"

"How about two weeks?"

"No, no, one week seems fair." James said quickly.

Harry turned around to talk to Albus. "So, did you stay out of trouble while you were at school?"

"Yea, but mostly because I never got caught when I helped James with his pranks."

"Albus," moaned his mother. "Why can't I have one easy child? I'm going to have gray hairs before I'm 50 by trying to keep you all in line.

"Hey mom?'' asked James.

"What is it?" responded Ginny with a groan.

"Since Albus pulled all the pranks with me does that mean he's grounded too, right?" Albus turned to glare at his brother who was sitting next to him.

Harry turned to his oldest son while keeping one eye on the road. "James you are being grounded because of all of your detentions. Since Albus was not in detention every week he's not going to be grounded." Albus turned toward his older brother and stuck his tongue at him while James crossed his arms in front of his chest planning on pouting until they got home. Harry turned back to the road and started humming an old muggle tune while slowly inching his way through the traffic.

Lily looked at her family and smiled to herself. It was going to be one heck of a summer.
