"Come on, we have 45 minutes to get you on that train and find you a nice compartment, we need to find everyone else as well." Yelled Hermione over the crowd of students preparing to head to Hogwarts.
"Mum, we have time, besides, Uncle James say's it's alright to not be so early!" Whined Kora.
"Besides, Uncle Harry said he'd save us a seat! He said he knows how to make the compartments bigger so we'd all fit!" Interjected Kyros, Kora's identical twin.
Giving up, Hermione let Remus wrangle his children's trunks on the train. Annabelle and Apollo had already run ahead, after they spotted their extended family near the middle of the train.
Catching up to their children, they gave out hugs and farewells to all of the children. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a mass of redheads coming their way. It saddened her that she wouldn't be able to experience this life with Harry and Ron as her best friends, but she knew this version of events made everyone in the picture happy. In the end she was glad to give Harry the life he deserved, with a complete loving family.
Lost in her thoughts she didn't notice all of the children had already boarded the train, and she started waving frantically as her children leaned out the window, shouting their goodbyes.
The next day, Hermione and Remus woke up to a short letter from Kora,
Dear Mum and Dad,
We both got into Slytherin! Along with Collete, Brookelynne helped us get settled in, and she's been really nice about it too. Everyone's been really nice so far, except one older boy, Draco Malfoy. But you should've seen what Brookelynne done! She gave him a mean bat-bogey hex! It looked even worse than Ginny's! But after that he didn't say anything else!
Nicole got into Hufflepuff with Delilah. And of course, Orion got into Gryffindor with Harry and Annabelle. Than Adrian's in Ravenclaw with Apollo. So, no one's alone in a house anymore! I do kind of wish I was in Gryffindor with everyone else, but I know I must really belong here if that sorting hat says so!
Ill write soon!
Lots of Love,
Kora and Kyros
Hermione handed the letter to Remus, wiping away her stray tears. When he finished he hugged her, telling her that Lily and Severus was there if they needed anything. Plus, they had thirteen other children there if they needed anything. Laughing away her tears, she pulled Remus back into bed, enjoying a few more hours of her husband before they had to open shop.

Hermione watched Harry's name being called, while he walked across the stage to Albus Dumbledore, to receive his Diploma from Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She watched so many of her friends walk across that stage, and the tears wouldn't stop. They looked exactly how she remembered them, before everything turned bad.
She was glad she altered time, potentially destroying everything they knew, for everything to work out. She was glad she was the one to be able to save the world so to say, to give her friends a life of happiness. She mingled with every single one of her "old friends" letting the happiness of their fresh start outweigh the sadness of how she remembered everyone dying. She was able to go home that night, not only with her daughter and boyfriend, but with a life she was ecstatic to have.

Hermione left the room where her daughter, Annabelle, was waiting with her husband. She went ahead and told Blaise Zabini, their best man, that they were ready. She walked into the reception area and sat down at the high table with her husband of 22 years. Blaise left the room, to return shortly, and announce, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome to you, Mr. And Mrs. Draco and Annabelle Malfoy!"
The wedding reception went on smoothly, with Blaise only giving a slightly crude speech, the food was great. And their first dance as husband and wife, made plenty of people cry.
Remus was sad to see he oldest daughter get married, but he was overjoyed that she would be happy. It made him love Hermione even more that she was able to invent a potion that removed any chance of their children getting his "furry little problem." He didn't look down on being a werewolf anymore, because he had his loving wife by his side. But he was glad his children didn't have to experience it.
All in all, he was glad Hermione came back in time and gave him and his friends the life they deserved. Plus, he got the added bonus of one hot wife to boot. The years that followed, their family grew and grew, welcoming many grand-children into the already large family.
The End
