AN: I don't know about other author's but to me a story is like a plant. All I do is plant the seed and prune it every now and then. The characters and tale grows as it will and I just have record what is happening.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They had sat the kids down in their separate houses and gave them the same list of activities and sports to try. Emma and Dan were not surprised when Hermione said all of them. Amelia and Mr. Tyme's were both just chuckled when their children said the same thing. In the end they limited the kids to 3 activities in a week.

All of them chose gymnastics. Hermione and Rachel picked Track. Susan, Rachel and Hermione choose Tennis. Harry and Dean took karate. Susan, Harry and Dean joined a youth football (soccer) league.

At first Emma was worried. Harry and Hermione were very tired on the evenings of their activities. But it didn't take long for them to settle into the routine. Gymnastics Monday and Wednesday; Track Tuesday, Thursday; Tennis on Friday; Karate Saturday morning and football that afternoon. The parents arranged their schedules around that too. Emma and Dan worked late on Monday and Wednesday since both kids wouldn't be home. Alexander watched the boys, and Susan on Tuesday and Thursday after school. While Qadir picked up the girls after track. All the women and girls would have shopping trips and girl time of the morning while the Remus took the boys to karate. And the boys got to spend Friday afternoons with Padfoot who was a terrible influence.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

All content with there new lives and schedules time marched on. Soon summer came and Sirius talked them into going to Black Island which was the Black families private island in the Caribbean. It was also where his pirate ancestors would stash there loot. All save the Tymes went since the only way onto the island was by portkey.

The parents loved lounging on the beach and the kids loved learning to swim and splashing in the water. Hermione it turns out was like a fish and didn't ever want to leave the sea side. They had a luau themed party for Harry on the island and another for Susan when they got back (I'm saying Susan was born in August). To the later one they invited all the kids class mates.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Their second year of school was not very exciting. They went to class, played sports and did homework. Hermione turned 6 in September and lost her first tooth in October. Dean became 6 is February and Rachel in May. And then summer came again. This time they took a normal vacation to Spain and stayed in a normal hotel. The Tymes were able to join them. They meet the 4 boys. Henry, 16; David, 12; Rick, 9 and Eric, 8. Eric and Rick joined the kids during the trip and became friends with them. The older boys didn't want to have much to do with the little kids. Henry was interested in all the bikini clad girls while David wanted to stay in the museums.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Augusta Longbottom wasn't sure why her old class mate Alastor wanted to meet but she was willing. They were, friendly acquaintances, but that's about all. He came to ask her if she would consider sending Neville to a muggle school with Harry Potter.

She was shocked that he would ask and how he knew where the boy was. She was amazed that he was James' godfather. Augusta was good friends with Charles Potter but never knew he was so close to Alastor.

Augusta may now look and play the part of an old, noble, dowager but she was once just as fierce and powerful as her son. She was crafty and had dances political circles around may of the Lords and Ladies. That's why she was considered head of the Neutrals. Frank and Alice may have fought the Dark Lord but they were not Dumbledore's minions and only joined his Order for the information.

Hearing Harry's story. What really happened that night. It brought out the fierceness in her like nothing had in years. She was ready willing and able to go right now and strangle Dumbledore with his own beard. But once she calmed and thought about it. She smiled. Not a nice smile but the kind you see on the Cheshire cat. A smile full of teeth and mischievousness. Oh she had the beginnings of a plan. But it would take some putting together yet. Fruit would have to be let ripen. But it would, good things come to those who wait and she was in no hurry.

Augusta arranged for Neville to meet Harry and Hermione first. To slowly introduce him to the children over the summer then he would start school with then in the fall. Once she realized what the muggle school was like she embraced the idea. Having the kids learn to socialize so young was a great idea. The fact the 4 of the 5 were magical helped too.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Neville was shy and nervous at first. Augusta felt enraged and shamed at the same time when Neville's attitude made Hermione ask if he had been raised by bad people too. To think that her grandson she loved so much acted like an abused child, it broke her heart. But she did reevaluate how she raised he. It didn't take long to realize he was being smothered.

Neville seemed to bloom with friends. He finally began to grow as Frank was. He came out of his shell and while he was like Harry and still shy with strangers he was happy, laughing and energetic.

Once Neville got into the rhythm of school he also began to advance. He was behind all the others starting 2 years late, but he was encouraged by his friends and they were all happy to help him. He ended up joining Karate and track, followed by football once he could handle the first two.

Augusta could hardly recognize the boy she sent to school that fall and the one that returned in the spring. It was slow gradual changes that she hadn't noticed as they happened but looking back it was like a whole new boy. A happier and healthier boy. Augusta also found her self changing. She was now often in the company of, muggle Joann Mills. Both of them had so many things in common.

Augusta fought in several battles against Grindelwald and his Black Mages. No one save her late husband knew the reason Frank was their one and only miracle child was due to her being nearly eviscerated by a werewolf during the war. She was never infected but she would always carry the scars. That was one reason she was so over protective. Neville and Frank were all she had.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AN: Hermione, Dean and Rachel are now 7. The school is a day school Augusta just reflects on how Neville has changed in just a year.
