Time flew for the young family. It took only a few days until the two parents had feeding down, getting the pattern of feeding the always boisterous Gwen first while Fiona patiently waited. Changing was an interesting experience if only due to the smells, Draco had blanched in disgust and disbelief that such a sweet little thing like his eldest daughter could make such things.

After a week, Mia was back in classes, which had been fun getting used to with newborns, she and Draco had one each in a sling, their bassinette always on hand should the twins get in harm's way in class. The witch was still unable to take potions but was certain she was going to pass the test Snape was holding for her at the end of term. There had been a little disruption with babies in class at first but soon they were nothing new.

Mia's body had returned to her pre-pregnancy size within her week before classes, but as she lost her muscle tone she was out every morning for her very much missed runs around the grounds. When the twins had heard about it, they went out and bought a stroller, modifying it for their sister. Draco joined her and they had fun jogging around the Quidditch pitch with their daughters before going to see Hagrid. The half-giant loved his brief morning visits, loving that the teens weren't at all afraid about letting him hold the tiny girls.

Another man who was enjoying his new grandfather status was Severus, he would come around to the suite every few days to see the infants, getting closer to their mother also, to the point where she was able to call him Severus, though promised to never do so in class.

At the end of term, Mia passed her potions exam with flying colours, as well as the rest of her classes, not that anyone was surprised. With no danger from Voldemort, Harry was over the moon to hear he could go straight to the apartment with his brother and sister, all three promising to visit the Burrow frequently, there just wasn't enough room for them there, especially with the wedding.

Bill and Fleur were married on August 1st in the backyard of the Burrow, a large celebration that included the two blonde 5 month old ring bearers. It was a little smaller of a crowd the day before the teens were heading back to Hogwarts once more when Draco and Mia wed. Both were holding a daughter on their hips, there were no formal clothes, and they had Tonks officiating, but no one could find a fault in it as it was simply perfect for them.

Returning to school was returning home, the young family living in the suite still but with a little help in the form of Dobby and Winky, the two house elves taking it upon themselves to be the babysitters for the girls. Every morning Mia would express milk into bottles for the twins then head off to classes, at lunch they would be brought to her at the lunch table for a meal, and then back to class. Dinner was usually in the suite as a family, they had started the twins onto pureed foods at 6 months, but typically ended with more being worn then eaten, and another feed.

Between their twins and their huge workload from it being their last year, the newly married couple found time together every night, even if just relaxing in their bed after homework was finished and the twins were in bed.

The term flew, Christmas a day filled with wrapping paper being more interesting than what had been in it, toys being floated into annoying uncles, and a badly aimed decoration hitting a 3 month pregnant Tonks in the chin, not that she minded much. For the twins birthday it was a huge party in the great hall, with the proud parents showing everyone the newest talent of their girls, who screamed out for their Poppy, otherwise known as Severus. The man had fallen over in a faint to the humour of everyone else, none more than the parents who had been chosen as second banana to Severus.

Graduation day had Mia coming highest in the year, Draco a close second, and job offers coming from all over. Unfortunately for those who were sending them, they weren't privy to the secret that the brunette was holding. Tonks had given birth to her and Remus' son Edward Remus Lupin, a metamorph like his mother, and noticed when her young friend had clutched her abdomen to prevent throwing up. Fleur, who was glowing in her 7th month, had spotted it too and they all shared a laugh as the men wondered what had been released.

Fast forward to September 1st 2008, Mia and Draco were sending their girls off to school for their first term as actual students, even though most of the staff was family. Around them, all jealous at their big sisters, were Sirius Arthur, Severus Remus, Draco Scorpius Jnr and baby Molly Poppy. They weren't the only ones who were jealous, though they were the only ones present.

At their homes sulking because their parents had said no to hitching a ride to Hogwarts, were Neville and Ginny's 3 daughters, Ron and Luna's son and daughter, Fred and Angelina Johnson's twin sons, George's adopted boy, Bill and Fleur's gorgeous son and 2 daughters, Remus and Tonks' pack of 6 with three of each, and Harry and Susan Bones' mirror image of her namesake grandmother Lily.

The family had exploded in size, and there were even more coming, with Olympe pregnant with her husband's first biological child, and Severus set to marry Madam Rosmerta from the Three Broomsticks. There had been sadness though, Albus had passed on in 1999, he'd been caught out in a rather awful storm and just went downhill from there. They'd buried him on the hill overseeing the grounds, so he would always be looking out for the future generations.

Waving the train off, Mia rest back into the arms of her love, "19 years ago we did that."

"You've barely aged a day my love," Draco whispered into her ear, running his hand down her side.

She chuckled, there hadn't been many years but they had given her a few wrinkles and a grey lock, her career as second in command for Kingsley, who had been Minister for Magic for the past 10 years, hadn't helped either, "Such a sweet talker you are. How'd I end up with a guy like you?"

"Well it all started when an angel ran into me on the train," the man grinned, kissing said angel swiftly before going on, "Swooning in my arms…"
