Hi peeps! This is my first SYOC, so yeah. This first chapter is a bit complicated, just because everyone is being introduced. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this fic and write me a review to say so :). Also, this story is going to mainly be driven by reviewers submitting one- shot ideas, along with my input. So, review some ideas even though it's early because I'll need lots for later chapters. (ALSO, I am giving character ages at the end of the chapter.) Anyway, ENJOY.

~ Chapter 1 - 19 Years After The Battle of Hogwarts ~

The train station was clogged with people and a feeling of excitement made the air thrum. Masses of students with large cases threaded through the crowd, each carrying a mixture of regular and bizarre objects. In particular, one large mob of people were rushing through the station.

"Come on guys! Seriously, you all walk so slowly! I said I would save Danielle and Erachiel a carriage!" A girl from the group broke off and began to almost jump up and down with impatience.

Another girl joined her and flicked her long, blonde hair over her shoulder, "Yes! Hurry; uzzerwise we will not get a free carriage. Aria, come! We will go by ourselves. Bye Aunties, Uncles! We are leeving!"

The blonde girl began to walk away with her brunette cousin after a quick air- kiss blown back at her family.

"Dominique! Arianna! Wait, girls! With Teddy vanishing, that's three gone already and we're not even at the platform yet." A certain black- haired, green- eyed wizard gave an exasperated sigh as the two figures disappeared into the crowd.

Four tugs at his shirt alerted Harry to four small children beaming up at him.

"Don't worry Daddy. We're not leaving yet!" His young daughter ended her speech with a smile that showed the gap in her teeth as her three cousins Hugo, Lucy and Roxanne nodded.

With that, the four of them went off to excitedly chat with some other family members. Harry looked around once more to see that they had already collected some more children. James was walking with his cousin Fred (the Second) and another two girls, one who he believed to be called Amiya and the other he knew to be Dawn.

"Harry! It's good to see you mate! I'm sorry, but Elsa and I have to run. Can you walk with the kids?" Oliver Wood and a hurried- looking woman appeared from the crowd to only disappear again after a cheerful nod from a woman beside Harry.

"Excuse me Ginny, where are Dominique and Arianna?" Another girl with brown hair walked up as similar- looking boy wandered over.

"They went ahead. Something about us being too slo- Oh, bye then Courtney." Ginny spoke calmly as she addressed the girl who quickly vanished into the crowds.

"Everyone's in a rush these days, huh?" Another man spoke as another group of kids ran off with a trail of laughs.

Harry sighed again before grinning and saying "It's good to see you both. How's Rosie?"

Ron and Hermione laughed before she responded, "Ecstatic. She hasn't stopped talking about it since we saw you all last week."

"Uncle Ron, since my zizter has left already, can I leave?" A tall, elegant blonde girl walked up with two others girls chatting beside her.

"Well, I was hoping to have a great, big family sendoff, but that seems doomed to fail again this year. Yes, go on. Have a safe year, Victoire. That goes for Zoe and Meghan too." Hermione waved them away and slowly the group's numbers dwindled.

Then, with another hurried goodbye, Louis and Molly disappeared into the crowds with their friend Juliette. That only left some children too young for magic, who wove between aunts and uncles, and three terrified- looking eleven year olds.

As the once- large now- small group appeared on Platform 9 3/4, two of the children drew closer to the adults while the other stood vulnerably out in the open. Being used to this treatment by his older sisters, Andrew simply sighed and pushed his trolley towards a train door.

"Dad, what if I'm chosen for Slytherin?"Harry heard his son begin to panic before he stopped him with a hand on the shoulder.

"Albus Severus Potter, you were named after two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was the bravest man I've ever known."

"Well, just say that I am." Albus continued, unmoved by his father's words.

"Then Slytherin will have gained a wonderful young wizard. Now, listen if it really means that much to you, you can choose Gryffindor. The Sorting Hat will take your choice into account."

"Really?"

"Really."

This seemed to give Albus courage as he then nodded to his father who could only smile in return. With a gentle push from his family, Albus stepped forward with an equally nervous Rose by his side. Together, they boarded the train and waved back at the family that was tearfully smiling on the platform.

"Is that Lorcan and Lysander? Yes. Next to them, that's Danielle's little sister isn't it? Rachel? And Seamus' kids; what was it? Conor and Mathal? No, Conor and Cathal. Okay. Dean's son, what was his name? David… Something starting with D.. Daniel! Yes, Daniel, that sounds right. It's his last year. Is it; oh look there's Matthew. I swear that boy doesn't have a humble bone in his body! He walks like a peacock. Really Ginny, that's not fair; he's your nephew." A friendly conversation began between Hermione and Ginny as they remarked about the passing students and distracted themselves from their leaving children.

As Harry laughed at their banter, he looked around the station. He found his eyes resting upon a man with platinum blonde hair who was staring back at him. Harry nodded and gave a smile before looking away.

"Yes father. I'll be good, don't worry. Yes, I'll look after widdle iddy biddy Scorpius." An irritated girl spoke while rolling her eyes.

"Come on Scorpius. Get on the train, I want to go see Amiya. She said that she had some BIG news in her last letter." She continued before pushing a boy towards the train.

He dug in his heels and frantically turned around to look further down the platform. He searched desperately before pointing to a group of three.

"No, wait. Look there's Riona. We said we would sit together and she is still saying goodbye to Collin and Felix! Can I get on the train with them? Please?" he spoke while still pointing towards the group.

His mother Astoria smiled and only laughed before giving him a hug and pushing him forward. Aries just looked after him before shrugging and disappearing onto the train. Scorpius ran forward quickly and nearly collided with the girl in the group.

"RI! RI!" He excitedly yelled and hugged the girl who seemed equally happy.

"It's good to see you Scorp. I'm saying goodbye. I'll just be a minute." She laughed before stepping back and solemnly looking at the man nearby.

"Bye Collin. I hope you have fun touring in America. You'll make sure you write?" She spoke as he laughed and mock- saluted his little sister.

"Of course, General. I'll write to both of you. Now Scorpius, you'll be good won't you? You and Ri will look after each other?" Collin said while looking at the two eleven year olds nodding at him.

"Bye- bye, Ri. Have fun at Hogwarts." Another voice joined the conversation as a small boy latched onto his big sister.

Riona could only smile lovingly at her dear little brother. She nodded and gently pulled away. She then laughed and rushed towards the train with Scorpius on her trail.

After a few moments, the whistle sounded and the train started forward. Lots of hands began to wave from inside the carriages as children said goodbye to their parents.
