A/N: So I hope you enjoyed my teaser. I did fix a few things in it because I was re-reading 'Love Just Is' which I haven't read in a couple years and well I found some errors in this stories first chapter so I fixed them.

So yeah currently I am very mad. I was almost finished with this chapter and then like I open it to finish and my computer gives me some random error and then I only get half of my first page so I had to re-do the entire rest of the chapter. This sucks!

Chapter 2

-

The air was warm and crisp. The students of Hogwarts had just boarded the train to take them to the school. Hermione sat in the teachers compartment with Harry and Libby who had their children with them. James and Lily were only 8 and 9 and not old enough to be students at the school, but every year of their lives had been spent at Hogwarts.

"Remus left for the school a week ago. He wanted us all to go, but I wanted to be able to bring Brianna for her first year and being able to ride the train." Hermione spoke with great joy.

"Is Ginny going to be able to stay at the school this year?" Libby asked.

"Remus is working it out with Poppy. She has had quite a few complications with this pregnancy."

Ginny had had many complications with her pregnancy. At the current moment she was on bed rest. She and Severus were very happy with all of their children. Sapphire the oldest was starting her first year along with Brianna. Sapphire's hair was jet black and her eyes were a smoky gray. They also had their four other children. Amethyst who was best friends with Estelle was 10. Amethyst was the only one of Ginny's children with red hair. Her eyes were the same shade of gray as her older sister. After Amethyst was Emerald who was the most hyper of them all with her silky black hair and brown eyes. Then the youngest of them all John-Carlos aka. JC who was 7 and Reed who was only the tender age of 5 both of them had black hair and brown eyes.

Lily and James couldn't sit still in their seats anticipating going to sit with their friends. "Mommy, Daddy can we go now?" they both begged.

"Yes, but don't cause any trouble." Libby said sternly to the children.

An hour had passed and the train rolled on. Libby had fallen asleep and she had her head on Harry's shoulder. Harry was going through his class syllabus and Hermione was reading a book. She looked up from her book and peered out of the window.

"You know I can never get tired of this ride." She said.

"Me neither. Every time it reminds me of my first year." He laughed. "It was such a interesting trip. That's where Ron and I first met you. Neville lost his frog. I met Malfoy. Wow seems like yesterday."

"I know." She replied. "This is where we first met Remus. I was only 13 and at no time did I think I'd marry him."

"None of us knew what was going to be ahead, but it all ended up perfect." Harry said as he looked down at his wife.

"So did you stop counseling?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah we did. It worked this time. We've both come to realize so many things. I've mostly come to realize that you know there are some imperfections. It was mostly because I never grew up in a home with happily married parents. I grew up with my married uncle and aunt who got their happiness from making me miserable. I love Libby and I love my children." Harry smiled.

"I've realized that love isn't easy. We've been distant for so long, but when we came back together during counseling I think that it's going to be a great joyride from now on."

"I'm so happy for you two." Hermione responded.

After the birth of little Sirius, Harry had become very distant from his wife because he didn't know what he could and couldn't handle in the world of marriage and parentage. They had gone to counseling a few times. At one point they were very close to divorce, but decided to get help.

"So Jasmine and Justin are going to meet the other first years at the station in Hogsmeade?" Harry asked.

"Yeah." Hermione responded. "They wanted to come in with the other first years and since Ron is escorting all the first years to the castle they are just going to be there with him."

After a year and a half of courting, Ron and Cho had finally married. Justin and Jasmine were able to accept her as a step-mother. After marriage they had their first child together Candace who was 5 at the moment. She was an adorable little sweetheart with black silky hair and a face full of freckles. Then there were the little set of twins Zoe and Zachary who both sported the Weasley trademark flaming red hair. At the age of two they are so much more of a hand full than Justin and Jasmine ever were.

Brianna Lupin and Sapphire Snape were so excited they had already changed into their robes. They were joined in their compartment by Lily and James along with Kevin Longbottom. Kevin was the child of Neville and Lavender. After only about a year of marriage they divorced. Lavender then courted and married Draco Malfoy. They had two children together the oldest was Laura at 7 she had beautiful long blonde hair and soft brown eyes. Their youngest was Hilary who was 3 she sported curly blonde hair and soft gray eyes.

"Why are you two already changed?" Kevin asked as she stroked his toad Teddy.

"Because we want to be ready!" Sapphire exclaimed in excitement.

Lily and James sat playing a game of Wizard Chess. Brianna's little sister Estelle sat watching. Her brown curls fell over her face. She wiped them away from her face gently with a quick swipe.

After a couple hours the train came to a complete stop. All the children looked out the windows to see the small wizarding town of Hogsmeade. Hermione had walked up to the compartment to get Estelle, James, and Lily.

"Alright little one's we've got to head to the castle." Hermione said. Estelle jumped off her seat and ran to her mom. James and Lily slowly walked over to Hermione and then followed her off the train. There was a horseless carriage waiting for them. Hermione spotted Ron who was rounding up all the first years. She gave him a wave before getting into the carriage.

After a matter of minutes they had reached the castle.

"Now little one's go into the great hall and you know where to sit."

The kids walked into the great hall where most of the teachers already where seated at the table. Remus sat in his chair talking to Severus.

"Daddy!" exclaimed Estelle as she ran up the row in between the tables up to the Head Table.

Hermione smiled as she watched Remus grabbed Estelle into his arms. Hermione then walked to the staircase where the older students were arriving and making their way into the great hall.

"Hi Professor Lupin!" said many of the students as they passed her and walked into the great hall. Once all the older students were seated in the hall there came a group of trembeling first years. Hermione smiled as she saw her oldest child as one of the new students.

"Hi mom." Brianna said happily as she and the other students walked up the stairs toward Hermione.

"Welcome students." Hermione started. "I am Professor Lupin, Wife of Headmaster Lupin. Once you enter these doors you will be sorted into your houses. In your houses you will make friends that could last you a life time. I congratulate all of you on your entrance into Hogwarts and I hope you have a fantastic year. Now if you will please follow me into the Great Hall."

Hermione started through the doors. The young students followed her into the Great Hall and up to the front where there sat a stool with an old tattered hat on top. It began to speak and some of the first years jumped. Brianna giggled as the students jumped. The hat sang its yearly song and then Hermione pulled out a scroll and began to call the students.

"Ginger Alison." She called. A small little blonde girl shyly walked up to Hermione and sat on the stool. The sorting hat was placed upon her head. After a brief moment the hat shouted, "Hufflepuff!"

The little girl jumped off the stool and walked toward a table of cheering hufflepuff students.

Ginger was followed by Heather James who was sorted into Slytherin, Danny Jones to Ravenclaw, Alex Ross into Gryffindor, Elaine Grap into Ravenclaw. Finally the name Hermione and Remus had been waiting for. Hermione proudly called the name of her oldest child.

"Brianna Lupin." She called. Brianna hurried upon the stool. Once the hat was on her head it began to consider Brianna's house. "Parents both extremely intelligent Ravenclaw material, but then the bravery has been extended from the parents. I'll say." There was a short pause. "Gryffindor!"

Brianna was followed by Kevin Longbottom into Gryffindor, there was a girl by the name of Sally Reed into Slytherin, then Eric Washington into Hufflepuff. Finally Sapphire Snape.

Sapphire got to the stool as fast as she could. "Without any doubt even though her mother was a great Gryffindor, She's far more to her father's legacy. . .Slytherin!" Sapphire hopped of the stool and walked over to the Slytherin table.

After Sapphire there were a few more students. Once all the students were sorted Hermione went to put away the sorting hat and the stool. When she returned the students were already eating. She sat in her chair next to Remus.

"She looks to happy." Remus said with a smile on his face. "She will do great!"
