Hey guys :) Well I originally write this in the spur of a moment (I literally wrote it in ten minutes flat) as a One Shot.

But I've begun writing more chapters after this. I may update in the next few hours or by tomorrow with Chapter two and three and see how things go :) I hope you all enjoy this as I loved writing it.

Thanks

Arie.

He looked around. Smoke gathered around the platform as if in it really been so long since he himself had stood there, rooted to the spot, terrified and exhilarated all at once, emotions cascading through him, not giving him chance to breath or take in his new saw that same look he once possessed, the same gleam in his middle child's eyes.

Albus was unlike his older brother in every which way. While James Sirius had taken after his father with his messy black hair and green eyes, Al had taken after his mother in looks, brilliant red hair and green-brown eyes. He however, had unfortunately taken after his father, and grandfather in poor eyesight and had to wear glasses.

Albus Severus walked ahead, with his older brother, listening with bated breath about Hogwarts, and asking questions about the shorting ceremony. The youngest of the three, however, was none too happy.

Lily Luna held her mothers hand, begging and pleading with her, wishing she could run off with her older brothers and cousins to the magical castle she heard so much about. Her long red curls bouncing her waist even while tied up in pigtails. So beautiful like her mother, he often wondered how he could ever have been so lucky. To marry such a gorgeous, affectionate, daring woman, and having such clever, helpful and loving children.

"Daddy, pleeeeeaaaaase"

He was shocked out of memories of first dances, first steps and first broom rides by his Little Lily.

"I'm sorry love, but you have to wait three more years. It won't be that long really. Before you know it in fact!"

He looked up and caught his wife, giving him a curious look. He had a relationship with his kids that she could never understand. He believed it was his upbringing, never being shown love, he lapped it on where his wife, children, extended family and best friends were concerned.

"Now come on miss, wish your brothers and cousins good luck! Specially Al and Rose."

Lily rubbed a tear ferociously from her face, not wanted anybody to see. At that he picked her up and placed her on his was growing up so fast, but thankfully for him she was a total daddies girl and loved being close to him.

He exchanged hugs and well wishes to his sons, nephews and nieces while carrying a tearful Lily, who wouldn't bear the idea of staying home for three years any more.

He waved Albus, James, Rose and the other kids off. When the steam train rolled round the corner and out of sight he turned to his three best friends of twenty five years, and smiled.

No words had to be uttered, they were all thinking the same thing. Has it really been that long since we were 'lil firsties'.

Life was great. Life was perfect. He was just another boring old man with a great family.

Harry Potter loved his carefree life.
