Only two weeks later James found himself sitting in a row with Rory sitting to his left and his mum to his right, they were sitting in the first row and dressed in their smartest outfits. Behind them sat, well, everyone else in the family, and a few friends. They were on the left side, and on the right sat Ryan's family, it wasn't nearly as big, but he had a few of Juliet's lot sitting over there, Including Pansy, Neville and their four year old son Frank, as well as Blaise and Susan.
They were waiting, a bit nervously, for the music to start. Ryan was standing up the front next to the priest, his best man, a friend in the business, beside him, and looking like he might pee himself with a mix of nerves and excitement.
Finally after what felt like hours the music started, and Lily and Molly walked down the aisle in their matching cream dresses, he had to admit, his little sisters now thirteen and eleven, looked really cute.
Then it was Blaine, Erin, Claire, Andi and Daisy, all wearing matching cream dresses, they were fitted until they reached the waist, were it flared out a bit, they had halter necks, with a deeper cream sash around the waist.
Then everyone stood when Juliet appeared with Harry, Juliet was wearing a ivory dress, with had a high neck, but was almost backless, it was completely devoid of any fancy lace or jewels, and she looked stunning, with her hair curled and pulled up into a loose bun, and little make-up, she was glowing with beauty.
He heard Ryan gasp, and knew that they would be happy forever.
"You look so beautiful" Gina said from beside Brian as she hugged Juliet who smiled fondly at the younger girl.
"Thanks, sweetheart," Juliet said. James smiled, Gina, like Miley, had become a part of the family a long time ago, much as Dustin and Lola had been.
As he thought of Miley the young lady appeared, she was pushing Hannah in a wheelchair, but managed to lean around it enough to hug Juliet.
"You look great," Juliet said quietly to the new, young mum.
"That's surprising, I'm so tired, Hannah is forever keeping me up," Miley admitted, though still smiling fondly at the two week old child.
"Well you do," Juliet assured her as Ryan knelt down and let Hannah grab his little finger. And Juliet knew she was set for life with this guy.
"Wow, and to think, no so long ago, everyone was so young. I mean Brian is entering his seventh year, with Alastor and Miley," Blaine said, as she said it Teddy appeared beside them.
"Hey guys," He said smiling.
"Hey Teddy, so you finished school, do you know what you're going to be doing?" James asked grinning at his cousin.
"Erm, not really," Teddy said shrugging slightly.
"How are you doing?" Blaine asked as she sat beside Miley. Hannah was fast asleep, even though the music was blaring, as Harry had kindly placed a silencing charm on the pram so Hannah wouldn't hear a thing.
"Alright, Hannah keeps me up a lot, and during the day my parents keep wanting to 'talk'," Miley sighed. "I spend a week at Alastors, he spends a week at mine, and we've still got to come up with an agreeable solution for school."
"What do you want to do?" Blaine asked.
"Spend as much time with Hannah as possible," Miley answered almost immediately. "I asked if I could drop a few subject, studying only Charms, Potions and Care of Magical creatures, that way I could spend the rest of the day looking after Hannah."
"That seems reasonable," Blaine stated, smiling at the young mum, at least she had a decent head on her shoulders as she thought everything through.
"Alastor will continue his subjects, I mean, I want him to," Miley admitted
"Really?" Blaine asked, she was a little surprised because she was sure Miley would want him around all the time to help her.
"Of course, Alastor has had his eye on the internship at the Ministry for the last year, he really wants it. I know he wants to be around Hannah, but I think in the long run this might be better. He'll be with her every morning and afternoon, she stays in the same room as us at night, I mean, I just don't want him to throw away his future, especially if he doesn't have to," Miley stated, Blaine smiled at her.
"What about when you're in lesson?" Blaine questioned, Miley smiled guiltily, and wringed her fingers. She started to fidget and Blaine raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"Well, you see the thing is… The… I… We… Maybe…"
"Spit it out Miley," Blaine laughed.
"I was hoping you might watch her," Miley said, it was very fast and the end of each word mixed with the beginning of the next. "It would be just for a few hours each day while I do my work." Miley added hopefully.
"You want me to watch Hannah?" Blaine asked.
"Only between nine and one. I mean, I totally understand if you can't. I just…"
"Miley, you're like family to me, as is Alastor, and Hannah is my Goddaughter, you needn't ask. I'll have to run it by James, but I don't see why it would be such a huge issue," Blaine said softly. Miley looked at her with amazed eyes.
"You would actually do that for me and Alastor?" Miley asked, her eyes watering.
"Of course I would," Blaine replied softly, Suddenly Miley broke down into sobs and clung to the older girl.
"Thank you so much! I know you haven't said you can, but the fact you're willing is so amazing!" Miley sobbed hugging Blaine. Blaine smiled softly as she hugged the younger girl back.
"Of course I would you dizzy cow," Blaine laughed, Miley giggled and settled back into her seat.
"You know, I always hated being an only child with no one to play with. But I think this is what it's like to have a sister," Miley admitted, and Blaine nodded. She kissed the younger girls forehead, before they were joined by James and Alastor.
"It's not fair!" Rory groaned as he and James stood together on the platform 9 3/4, Molly danced about happily, with Rogue and Lisa as they were starting their first year at Hogwarts as well.
"You'll be going soon mate," James said ruffling Rory's hair.
"But you've already left! It's not fair that I haven't even gone!" Rory whined, Harry laughed slightly before kneeling down to his son's height.
"How about while they go to school-" Harry pulled a bored face, making Rory giggle. "We go grab a hot chocolate and a cake at the muggle shop you like?" Harry offered.
"Really?!" Rory asked excited now, and forgetting the whole Hogwarts issue.
"Why not?"
"Hey Uncle Harry!" Alastor called, he grinned as he walked with Ethan, Kate, Miley and baby Hannah. He was holding Hannah delicately in his arms. That's when Harry noticed a Head Boy badge pinned to Alastor's front.
"Head Boy," Harry stated looking at the badge.
"Yeah, I might have had a kid already but I get the highest marks," Alastor said rolling his eyes, but to the trained eye, such as Harry's, you could tell Alastor was holding Hannah just a bit more protectively.
"Are you sure the fumes aren't going to upset her?" Miley asked worriedly. Alastor rolled his eyes.
"Mum already told you, the fumes won't upset her," Alastor said. "I've been around them for years and I'm fine."
"That could be argued," Miley scowled, Alastor rolled his eyes again. Harry laughed.
"You two are just like us when we first had our kids. I told Ginny over and over that the fumes wouldn't upset James, and she refused to believe me," Harry said with a chuckle.
"She's just being careful," Ginny scolded, whacking Harry upside the Head.
Miley looked smug as Alastor passed the baby to her. Then Hannah started screaming. Miley's face fell.
"I just fed her," She lifted the baby up and smelt her nappy. "For someone so small she sure makes a stink." Miley groaned, before hitching up the shoulder bag she had on her shoulder and carrying Hannah towards the train. "I'll be the in Heads Compartment." Miley called before disappearing.
Alastor looked a bit fidgety while Miley was gone, and quickly turned to James.
"Are you sure you don't mind watching Hannah for us?" Alastor asked.
"It won't be me – most days at least. But Blaine is excited; she's stocked up on nappies and baby things," James told Alastor with a laugh.
Alastor nodded, but kept glancing back at the train.
"Oh for Merlin's sake!" Ethan exclaimed with a laugh. He hugged Alastor tight before slapping him on the back and wishing him luck. Kate giggled as she hugged her son. Not before hissing at Ethan 'You were worse' "Off you go, we'll see you soon!" Ethan called as Alastor practically ran to the train.
"He's doing alright then?" Ginny asked.
"Fantastic. I admit I felt really worried that he'd be … scared maybe, but he's really getting this," Kate admitted. "I just wish it wasn't so soon, though, I can't deny, I love Hannah, she's my granddaughter."
