Epilogue - The Hogwarts Express

September 1st came faster than either Harry or Hermione had anticipated. The letters came for their children and very soon they found themselves in Kings Cross Station, pushing a trolley topped with a cage with an owl inside observed its surrounding as pedestrians busily hurrying to catch their train observed the owl.

"So, we're just supposed to run straight at the wall?" James asked, looking up at his mother hesitantly.

"It's not so bad, James." Teddy said, patting him on the back. "I didn't believe it at first either, but that's how it works." Harry looked down at his son and then up at Teddy. He was so proud of him.

"You should be proud of him, Harry." Hermione said like she could read his mind. "You'll be going in just a few years, Jazz." She said to the little black-haired girl in her arms.

"It's 4 now, isn't it? My little girl is getting so big!" Harry said, taking his daughter from Hermione.

"Alright, James. You ready, mate?" Teddy said with a raised eyebrow as they both stood behind his cart. "You countdown."

"1...2...3!" They ran and disappeared into Platform 9 and 3/4. Harry turned to Hermione and smiled.

"Shall we?" He said with a smile before kissing her lightly on the lips. She nodded and they burst through into the platform where they were met with walls and walls of people they knew and families they hadn't seen in years.

"Harry. Hermione." Harry turned and saw Draco and Ginny a boy with a mop of blond hair on his head.

"It's good to see you." Ginny said with a small smile. Harry nodded at the two of them and watched as they walked away.

"That's wasn't awkward at all." Hermione said sarcastically.

"Dad! Mum! Where'd you go?" James walked up, leading a few familiar faces behind.

"Hey, you guys!" Lavender said with a grin. "And hello, little Jasmine."

"Hi, Aunt Wav. Hi, Unca Won." Jasmine said quietly, waving to Ron and Lavender.

"James, where did Teddy go?" Hermione said with raised eyebrow.

"Well, Teddy found Victoire and disappeared and then Sybill found me and then we found Aunt Lavender and Uncle Ron."

"We asked where you guys were. And here we are." Lavender said with a smile before gasping a little and putting a hand on the baby bump on her stomach. "Ron, Artie is kicking." Ron put his hand on her stomach and smiled.

"He's kicking, Harry!" Ron said with a chuckle before kissing Lavender.

"So, Sybill, are you excited for your first year?" Harry asked with a smile. "It's all James has been talking about since we got his letter."

"Dad..." James said, his cheeks a little pink as he gave his father a pleading look. "You're embarrassing me." Harry put a hand on his shoulder.

"Oh, we need to load up the trolleys." Hermione said, checking her watch. "The train'll be leaving soon."

"Let's go, children!" Lavender said with a giggle as she grabbed the nearest trolley.

"Alright, now be sure to find your aunt Hermione if you need help with anything." Ron instructed the kids "And be sure to beat all of your cousins especially Scorpius."

"Ron..." Lavender whined, trying to hide a smile. "Artie, just do your best. No matter what."

"We are going to be proud of you, no matter what." Hermione said with a smile.

"Pwoud of oo." Jasmine mumbled, waving at James. James smiled and hugged his mom and his sister.

"I'm going to miss you, Jazz." James said. Jasmine wiggled a little and adjusted in Hermione's arms so that she could grab James and kiss his cheek. He smiled and then turned to Harry.

"Dad, I'm going to miss you." James said quietly. Harry smiled and hugged his son.

"James, I'll be sure to write you and your mother every single day."

"Even if you're out with the Aurors?" James asked with a sigh. Harry nodded.

"Especially when I'm out with the aurors. I'll need you guys when I'm out there." Harry said with a smile. "Do your best. That's all we want. Be sure to write. And most of all," Harry crouched down. "Be nice to your mother." He whispered in his ear. James and Harry glanced over at Hermione and then laughed.

"What is it? What's wrong?" She asked, looking slightly concerned. Harry stood back up.

"Nothing. Just nothing." He said, slipping an arm around her waist. James laughed.

"You coming, James? I saved you a seat." Sybill said with a smile. James looked back at his parents.

"Bye!" He shouted before leaving with Sybill.

"I'll see you on the train, sweetie!" Hermione shouted back.

"I am going to miss you so much." Harry said with a sigh as he put his hands on her hips and pulled her in for a kiss.

"Ewwww!" Jasmine groaned and put her hands on her parents, pushing them apart.

"Oh, come here, Jazz." Harry said, taking his daughter from Hermione. "It's just going to be you and me for a while. Mommy's going to go teach people." Harry looked up at Hermione. "Are you nervous for your first year?"

"No, no...Kind of." She said with a small giggle as she hugged Harry. "I'm going to miss you, Harry. And you too, Jazz."

"Professor Mc-I'm never going to get used to calling her Minerva." Harry said with a chuckle. "Minerva...said that she'd be willing to help you whenever you need it."

"I know, but I'm just really going to miss you, Harry." She finally pulled away as the train whistled. "I need to go. Bye, Harry." She said with a sigh. Harry pulled her in for a kiss on the cheek.

"Be sure to write." He said before watching her walk away toward the train.

"Bye, mummy!" Jazz waved goodbye to her mom. " I wove you, mommy! Daddy woves you too, wight, Daddy?" Harry nodded.

"Daddy loves mommy a whole lot."
