Alanna hugged Carina tightly against her ignoring the muffled protests from her eldest child.
"Mother Please" Carina hissed, struggling against her before looking towards her Father, her eyes pleading, "Get her off me?"
Alanna chuckled as she released her daughter, "Don't forget to write" she said softly, "I'll miss you"
"I'll miss you too mum, but I'll be ok, Promise"
Alanna smiled as Carina boarded the Hogwarts Express, ignoring the bickering of the three children behind her, their Father would deal with them.
Alanna watched the train until it had disappeared, absently wiping the tears from her eyes.
"She'll be alright" Lucius said, wrapping an arm around his wife's waist.
"I know" Alanna said softly as she leaned against him. "I can't believe how quickly they've all grown" she whispered, watching as their two boys, ages seven and six bickered about Quidditch while their five year old daughter played quietly with her doll.
"Pretty soon they'll all be at school" Lucius commented, his eyes shining with pride, "Then what will we do?"
"Finally have peace and quiet" Alanna suggested with a laugh as she pulled her husband down for a kiss.
