(Nott Manor/ September 1, 2017 )

"SEPTIMUS!" I yelled, looking up the vast staircase of Nott Manor. "SEPTIMUS!"

"I'm coming, Mum." I heard a shrill yell from upstairs. I rolled my eyes and sighed, choosing to walk into the dining hall where I knew breakfast was being held.

I entered the room and Theodore's dark gaze settled on mine. I walked the entire length of the table, until I paused right in front of Theodore, who turned and wrapped an arm around my waist. I smiled and bent down to kiss to him.

"Mum, Dad - that's really…can you please stop?"

Theodore smirked up at me, leaning ahead to look down the table at our ten year old daughter.

"Does that bother my little princess?" He asked wittily, seeing Selene slightly scrunch up her face.

"You and Mum are always making out. It's just…weird." She said childishly, shaking her head rather quickly.

Theodore looked up at me and stood. I smiled up at my husband, knowing that he hadn't changed much these past eleven years. His hair was still a very rich dark brown and it somewhat hung in his face now as he stared down at me with an amused smile. I stood on my tip-toes and planted a kiss on his lips, feeling him kiss me deeply in return. The passion between us hadn't died after all of these years. In fact, it only seemed to grow stronger with time. The kiss ended and Theodore pulled away from me - a smirk donning his face.

I looked down the table at Selene. "You'll get over it." I said to my daughter, seeing her look down and continue her breakfast with a shrug.

I looked up at Theodore. "Will you go and get Septimus? He's going to miss the train at this rate." I said to Theodore, seeing him nod and sigh.

"That kid." He complained, although he had a prideful grin on his face.

"He's definitely your son - stubborn and hard of hearing." I said wryly, taking a seat at the table next to Selene, who was now reading Hogwarts A History. I picked up the morning Prophet.

Theodore chuckled and nodded. "I'll go get him. Then, we'll leave in an hour." He said, leaving the room hurriedly to go get Septimus.

"Where are your Grandparents?" I asked Selene, noticing that Yelena and Nott Sr. were nowhere around.

"They left for France an hour ago." Selene answered distractedly. "But they wished Septimus good luck and Grandfather gave me a gift."

I rolled my eyes. "Doesn't he always?"

"Yes." Selene smirked slowly. "He does."

I focused on Selene and I couldn't help but smile. "Unless you want James and Fred to tease you senselessly, I suggest you actually comb your hair this morning."

Selene ran a hand through her dark mahogany locks, until finally her eyes settled on me. A slow smirk spread across her face. "Let them try." She said lightly, sounding completely unaffected.

I beamed at her. "And that is why you are my daughter." I said proudly, knowing that Selene was truly a lot like me. She nodded and continued her morning reading. I picked up the Daily Prophet and began to skim the front page.

Selene was not easily bullied and she'd learned pranks from the master themselves - Fred and George Sr. Although her temperament wasn't very playful - she was sometimes too mature for her age - she still liked to be light-hearted and have fun every once in a while. Since James and Fred Jr. liked to play pranks on others, Selene often found herself teaming up with Lily, Hugo and sometimes Albus to undermine their jokes. It was often them versus James, Fred Jr. and Septimus. Many members of the family had served as collateral damage because of the playful war they had going on between one another.

"Here, he is." Theodore said, entering the room with Septimus. Like his father, he too was tall for his age; however, Septimus had the same dark mahogany hair that his sister, Selene, had. Theodore and I had been told on numerous occasions how they were the perfect blend of us.

"You mean, the little Gryffindor." Selene teased, receiving a glare from her brother, who sat across from her at the other side of the table.

"Selene." I said warningly, seeing the girl throw one last smirk at her brother before continuing with her breakfast. I looked up at Theodore, seeing him take his seat again at the table with a broad smile. I looked at Septimus, seeing that he did look incredibly pale. "You're nervous." I said to Septimus.

He looked at Theodore out of the corner of his eye before responding, "I am not."

I looked at Theodore and together we shared a smile. My gaze focused on Septimus again. I sighed. "You know, it's perfectly normal to be nervous. It's going to be your first year and-."

"I'm not nervous, Mum." Septimus said quickly, receiving a mocking look from Selene. I sent her another warning look.

Selene sighed. "Uncle Fred and George told him that he'd have to wrestle a troll to be sorted." She said lightly, fighting a smile as she looked at me.

I fought a smile of my own but I heard Theodore laugh. "Sometimes I think you spend too much time around your uncles." Theodore drawled and I nodded.

"Septimus," I sighed. "There's no need to worry. Remember, I'll be there when you're sorted. And, son, I promise that you won't be facing a troll."

Selene and Theodore chuckled, choosing to return to their breakfast. "Yea…um, right." He said.

Theodore's lips thinned. "Your mother and I have invested a lot in your education. At least express yourself more…eloquently." He drawled, giving Septimus a stern look that made him sit up straighter at the dining room table.

I shook my head and heard Selene chuckle silently to herself. The next moment, there was a sharp hiss from Selene, who looked up and glared at her brother. "Daddy, he kicked me." She said sickeningly sweet.

I shook my head and continued to read the Daily Prophet. Theodore sighed. "Both of you behave." He said slowly, giving them a sharp glare.

"Mum, can't you just tell me what the sorting will be like?" Septimus asked almost desperately, leaning slightly forward.

I looked up from my paper and fixed him with a patient look. "I told you already. I want you to see for yourself. It's why I forbade Selene from telling you. Some things you'll have to learn on your own." I chided, seeing the boy nod his head much like Ron would.

"Idiot." Selene said underneath her breath. I glared at her to be silent but she continued. "Seriously, Mum. He's not bright. I've left this book -." She said, holding up Hogwarts A History in her hand. "- in his room twice now. With a brain like that, he'll certain be a Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff."

Theodore began but I interrupted him. "I said enough, Selene. You both will finish your breakfast and then we'll leave for Kings Cross. I don't want to hear another word from you two." I said firmly, seeing Septimus glower at his sister.

Every morning, Selene agitated her brother or vice versa. It always frustrated Theodore and I to no end. This morning, I was determined to have a normal breakfast in peace. I needed a good, calm breakfast before returning to my post as a Potions Professor at Hogwarts. I talked to Theodore, feeling him hold my hand as we sat at the table and discussed our plans for the coming Christmas celebrations.

(King's Cross 9 ¾ Platform)

"There's Albus and Rose." Septimus said excitedly, waving over the children and their parents. The platform was incredibly crowded, but Ron could be seen over everyone because of his flaming red hair and his height. Him, Hermione, Rose and Hugo walked over to us with Harry, Luna and their children in tow.

"Lily!" Selene said, beaming at her best friend as she waved at the raven-haired girl from beside Harry. Selene looked up at me. "Mum, can I visit Lily later? Please."

I smiled down at her. "I'm fine with it. You should ask Aunt Luna and Uncle Harry. I'm sure they won't mind." I said gently, seeing Selene nod and run over toward Lily and her parents.

Theodore smirked and whispered down into my ear. "Good thinking. She'll be gone, and that'll give us time alone." He said mischievously, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me closer toward him.

I nodded. "Well, what else do you expect from a genius?"

Theodore chuckled and looked up, receiving a curt nod from Ron who said: "Hi. I can't believe how crowded it is. You should've seen the mesh I had to drive through. We had to leave the house an hour earlier - an hour!"

Theodore smirked. "Well, that's what you get when you insist on nonsense like driving to King's Cross." He drawled, receiving a sharp glare from Ron and a light glare from Hermione.

"There's nothing wrong with driving." Hermione insisted, watching Theodore raise a brow. She continued: "It's really not that far a drive. Ron's just overreacting, as usual."

Ron's mouth opened in indignation. Theodore chuckled and beamed widely at Hermione, glad that she was able to get a rise out of Ron. Harry walked over with Luna, James, Albus, Lily and Selene. He'd heard the last bit of Hermione's comment.

"You know, I actually agree with Ron, Hermione." Harry said blandly, and Luna nodded. "I don't think driving is worth all the hassle. I mean, it's difficult enough getting the children up and ready." He said tiredly, sending a withering look at James, who was looking around the platform for Fred Jr. and Louis.

I nodded understandingly. "That's why we Flooed into the Leaky Cauldron and caught a taxi the rest of the way." I said distractedly, noticing that Albus looked incredibly sulky. "What's wrong with Albus, Luna?"

Luna answered serenely. "He's worried he'll be sorted into Slytherin."

Albus did not deny this. "I-I'm just a bit…worried." He admitted quietly, and only because James was on the very outskirts of our little group.

Theodore shook his head and I sighed, looking up at Harry. He pulled Albus aside and began saying something to him.

I focused on Luna. "Is it okay for Selene to go with you all? I know she wants to play with Lily and Hugo at your place."

Ron scoffed, a smile spreading across his face afterward. "You just want time alone with the prat." Ron said lightly, smirking at Theodore and I.

Luna grinned. "Ginny, why don't you just ask Molly to watch the children for us today? They could even spend the night." She said placidly and I nodded slowly, winking at her.

"And that is why you are my favorite Ravenclaw." I said to Luna, seeing her shake her head and look at Harry and Albus.

I walked over to Septimus, who was standing on the outskirts of the group with James. I touched his shoulder and, instantly, he looked up at me and smiled.

"Excuse us for a moment, Jamie." I said teasingly, knowing James did not liked to be called that. He nodded as Septimus and I walked slightly away from him. I, however, chose to watch James as he carried some of his luggage onto the train. James Sirius Potter, after all, had a knack for getting into trouble. I looked down at Septimus, seeing that him and Selene were so very alike. Both were the perfect blend of Theodore and I. I, however, thought Septimus had my exact eye color, whereas Selene had her father's eyes.

I placed my hand on his shoulder and spoke to him. "You're still nervous."

"Mum, no fair. You're not supposed to use Legilimency." He said, not meeting my gaze now.

I gently grabbed his chin and smiled down at him; his gaze settled on me again. "I know you're nervous because I'm your mother. Look, I just want to tell you that I don't care which house you get sorted into. Your father and I will love you regardless. You - Septimus Severus Nott - are my son. Everyday I look at you and Selene and I am so proud…so blessed to have you both here. You know how lucky you are to be here-."

"I know, Mum." He said uncomfortably, blushing a bit.

I nodded. "Then, you know that your father and I don't value what House you're sorted into over your presence in our lives."

Septimus nodded and gave me a relieved smile. "Dad said the same. I just…I want to make you proud."

I hugged him tightly, placing a light kiss on his forehead. "I'm proud of you everyday." I said gently, messing up his dark mahogany locks that were so much like his father's in appearance.

"I see Louis and Roxanne." Septimus said, narrowing his eyes to see through the thick haze of smoke.

I nodded. "Make sure to kiss your sister goodbye. You know she'll miss you." I said, seeing him nod and walk away to greet his cousins.

I walked over to Theodore and Ron, hearing Ron telling Rose to best ScorpiusMalfoy at every subject at school.

I beamed down at Rose, seeing Theodore doing the same. "Rosie will make us all proud. She's just like you, Granger." Theodore drawled, seeing Rose blush in embarrassment.

Hermione shook her head and playfully glared at Theodore. "How many times must I tell you that it's Weasley, not Granger?" She snapped.

We all laughed, including the children. I saw Harry and Albus join us all again. Albus asked Lily and Selene where James had went. I saw them shrug and look around the platform for the biggest troublemaker since Fred and George Sr. themselves. They, however, never found him.

"Alright now, Albus?" I asked, seeing the boy nod and smile at me.

I looked at Rosie, who was staring in ScorpiusMalfoy's direction. I smirked down at her. "Don't tell me you're afraid of a little competition?" I asked playfully.

Rose looked up at me and shook her head. "Never."

"Ginny." Hermione said warningly, giving me a disapproving look. "You and Ron shouldn't teach them to resent one another this early."

Ron, Theodore, Harry and Luna chuckled. I shook my head. "I don't know what you're talking about, Hermione. I'm not teaching Rosie anything, except Potions that's all." I said innocently.

"Uh huh." Hermione said, shaking her head disapprovingly.

I looked over the crowd, searching for Percy. I saw him and Aubrey on the very outside of the Hogwart's Express. Percy, Aubrey, Molly, and Lucy waved at us. Beside them stood Katie and Fred Sr., with his sons Fred Jr. and Michael. They looked up and Fred Sr. and his sons waved energetically at us through the thick haze of smoke. I shook my head, knowing that little Fred, James and Septimus would start scheming the moment the train took off for Hogwarts. I had the feeling like I'd be seeing my son in detention a lot this year. And beside them stood George and Angelina with Roxanne and Gideon. Roxanne would be beginning Hogwarts this year too. Gideon would be going next year with Selene, Lily, Hugo and Michael. Despite how hard I searched, I could not see Bill and Fleur anywhere. They had to be around somewhere.

"Have you all seen Bill and Fleur?" I asked concernedly.

It was Rosie who answered. "Victoire and Teddy actually brought Dominique and Louis." She said craftily. I nodded, understanding completely now.

"Where did Septimus go?" Theodore asked, a slight frown on his face.

"He's with Fred and George." I said lightly, seeing Theodore roll his eyes and walk away to go have a final word with the boy before departure.

I looked at Harry, who was looking around the platform for James. "The last I saw of him, he was on the train, Harry." I said.

Harry sighed and shook his head slowly. A look of relief spread on his face when he saw James step off the train and talk to Fred and George for a moment. Harry grinned and waved his son over, seeing the twelve year old run through the crowd and over to us.

"Victoire and Teddy are at it…again." He reported to us adults. We all ignored him, until he repeated himself.

"You know, keep that up and you'll be worse than Ron." I teased, receiving a nudge in the rib from Ron. I shoved him back, seeing Hermione open her mouth to chide us both and our immature ways. Rosie chuckled; Selene, Hugo and Lily walked closer toward us, smiling at Ron and I widely.

"Now, Mum. You and Uncle Ron should behave." Selene joked, making everyone around us laugh, especially Lily and Hugo. Ron walked over to Selene and messed up her hair, seeing the girl beam widely up at him.

Theodore and Septimus walked over to us. Septimus ruffled up Selene's hair worse than Ron. I watched Septimus stand beside Rosie and Albus, whispering something to them quietly. They grinned afterward and faced us. A couple of kids ran past our group, pointing at us as they neared toward the train. Albus looked around the platform, feeling uncomfortable about all of the stares that the Potter family as a whole was receiving. He, of course, knew why they were looking.

"I hate when they do that." Albus mumbled, looking up at all of us rather awkwardly. He was so much like Harry when he did that.

Harry sighed. "I know, son."

Theodore smirked. "You'll get used to it." He said wryly, seeing the boy nod.

At that moment, the conductor yelled for all the students to board the Hogwart's Express. The whistle blew loudly. The train would be leaving in five minutes. We all quickly hugged our children. I ruffled Septimus's hair, seeing him beam widely up at me.

"I'll see you at the Feast tonight." I told him, seeing him nod at me and leave my side to hug Theodore.

I quickly hugged Rose, Albus and James before their departure.

"Tell Neville that we all said hello." Luna said lightly, placing a kiss on Albus's forehead. James grinned and stepped forward, quickly hugging his mother. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Septimus hugging a teary-eyed Selene.

The children all said their last goodbyes and ran onto the train. Seconds later, the Hogwarts Express began to move slowly. We could still see the children leaning out of the train a bit. They waved bye to us all before the train rounded the corner. We saw them no more.

Hermione had an arm slung around Hugo's shoulder. She looked on the verge of tears. "I can't believe both of my kids will be gone off to Hogwarts next year."

We all nodded, understanding exactly where she was coming from. Parents all around us were looking proud but saddened. I looked up at Theodore, seeing him watching the corner where the train afterward had disappeared. I wrapped my arm around his mid-section, seeing him smile down at me.

"I'll watch out for him, you know." I said quietly, seeing him nod quickly.

"I know." He said confidently, waving Selene, Hugo and Lily over to us. "Do you all feel like spending an evening with Grandma Weasley?" He asked, seeing them nod excitedly.

Theodore beamed down at them and ushered them off of the platform. With his arm still wrapped around my waist, he waved bye to Ron, Hermione, Luna and Harry.

"We'll see you all later." I yelled to them, seeing them nod and wave bye to us.

"Much later." Theodore whispered in my ear, kissing me quickly. "Wait up kids." He yelled, watching them about to walk through the other side of the barrier without us.

We walked up beside them and I couldn't help but smile down at my family. Theodore and I left King's Cross with the children.

They were our everything - our future. And, as I looked up at my husband of twelve years, I couldn't help but be content with my life. Theodore and my family were everything I ever wanted and more.
