"Mummy! Mummy!"
Hermione looked up from her book and smiled. "Hi Lilac," she greeted her daughter affectionately. Lilac Lily Potter was eight years old. She had Harry's emerald green eyes and Hermione's bushy brown hair. She took after Harry in personality; she loved pranks and was fascinated with Quidditch, making it clear she wanted to try out when she got to Hogwarts.
Lilac frowned. "Mummy, Iris is being mean to me," she whined. Hermione arched an eyebrow and was about to reply when she was interrupted.
"I am not!" another voice said defensively, coming into the room. Iris Emma Potter was eleven years old. She had Hermione's chocolate brown eyes and straight jet black hair like Harry. Unlike Lilac, Iris was more on the quiet side. She enjoyed reading and learning like her mother and strived to be the best in all her classes.
Lilac glared at her sister. "She is too!" she exclaimed to her mother. "She won't play with me!"
Iris rolled her eyes. "That's because I'm going to Hogwarts soon you dweeb!" she retorted. "I have to study!"
Lilac stuck her tongue out. "You're such a nerd!" she shot back.
"Would you lot stop screaming?" another voice demanded, entering the room. James Sirius Potter was the oldest of the Potter children, being fourteen. He had Harry's messy jet black hair and his green eyes as well. He was a combination of both his parents, often being the middle ground in his sisters' arguments. "You'll wake Remus."
Remus Severus Potter was the youngest of the Potter children. He was five with his mother's hair color (but styled like Harry's) and her eyes. He like his brother showed signs of being like both his parents.
Hermione smiled at her oldest. "Finally got him to bed did you?" she asked.
"It was a hassle," admitted James grinning. "I had to read him the Three Brothers Story twice!"
Hermione smiled apologetically. "Sorry son," she said regretfully. "but you'll have to wake him up, it's time to got drop you and Iris off at the platform.
James facepalmed and hurried off the wake his brother.
"Mum, what about dad?" Iris asked her mother.
"He's meeting us at the platform, dear," Hermione told her daughter. "Now let's go!"
OoOoOo
King's Cross Station
Iris beamed as she saw her best friends Scorpius Malfoy, Rose Weasley, and, Helga Longbottom waiting for her. After one last hug to her family, she was off on the train.
Hermione held Remus and Lilac close as she watched her two oldest go off to Hogwarts; one of them for the first time. Harry had his arm around her as they waited until the train was out of sight. Lilac buried her face in Harry's shirt and a wet spot soon appeared.
"Lils, what's wrong?" Harry asked his daughter, concerned.
"I'm gonna miss Iris!" she sobbed.
Hermione gently pried her daughter off of her husband and held her close. "It's okay Lilac," she cooed. "Iris won't be gone forever, she'll come back. And soon enough, you'll be off to Hogwarts too."
As the Potter family walked off, Hermione caught sight of Draco's gray eyes. He nodded at her and she winked back, a smile gracing her face. She thought about her promise to her now mother-in-law all those years ago. Yeah, she thought. I definitely kept my promise.
Yes I know, the ending is very crappy and rushed. But I'm on a time limit here people!
