Epilogue

15 Years Later…

Harry, Tonks, Ginny, Luna, Neville and Draco were standing at King's Cross Station.

"Dad, do you think I will be in Gryffindor like you?" Little Albus Severus Potter asked nervously. "James says I will be in Slytherin." He made a face at the thought.

"I think that you will do well in whatever house you are placed in. A lot of very good wizards have come from Slytherin. In fact, you are named after one of them. Severus Snape, your Uncle Orion and Uncle Draco were all from Slytherin. Besides, your Uncle Orion is the Head of Slytherin House. But if it means that much to you, the Sorting Hat will take your choice into consideration."

"Really?" Harry just nodded at his son. Albus looked at his little sister Lily with a smile. "I can't wait until you come to Hogwarts next year." Lily smiled excitedly and nodded.

"Alright everyone, time to get on the train before you're late." Neville ushered them toward the train. His daughter Alice was practically bouncing while she was waiting to get on the train. Her mother, Hannah Abbott Longbottom chuckled at their daughter's excitement.

"When do I get to go to Hogwarts Daddy?" Neville looked down at his son with a smile.

"You only have three more years to wait, Frank." Frank looked disappointed. "You are going to come visit me soon at Hogwarts." He added and Frank's face lit up. He watched as Alice got onto the train. Harry watched Albus join her shortly after and James wander in the opposite direction in the corridor. They were startled slightly by golden and red flames next to them. Emmett and Elizabeth were laughing and running toward the train as soon as they appeared with their father Orion.

"They wanted to take the train too." Orion chuckled. He felt someone cling to his leg and looked down to find a smaller version of Luna Lovegood. He chuckled and picked her up. "Well hello Charlie." He said with a smile.

"Uncle Orion!" She giggled as he spun her around. Lily was standing close to them shyly. He looked down and picked her up to.

"And Lily, how are you today?" She smiled sweetly and kissed his cheek.

"I'm good. I can't wait until I can go to Hogwarts." Orion smirked and held her tighter.

"Soon." He placed her down on the ground with a kiss on her forehead and did the same with Charlie. He watched as Draco sent his son Scorpius to the train and a group of redheaded Weasley kids climbed on after. "Well, who wants to have a drink with me before I go back to work?" Orion looked around at his friends. Neville took his wife's hand and picked up Frank in one arm.

"Sorry mate, I wanted to spend a bit more time with these two before I have to go back too." Orion chuckled and nodded. "But I'll see you at Hogwarts" He added and disapparated away with his family. Neville had taken up the post as Herbology when Professor Sprout decided to retire. Hermione took over for Minerva as Transfiguration Professor and Head of Gryffindor House, while Orion took the Potions post and Head of Slytherin House. He turned to the rest of the group and looked around hopefully. Draco smiled and nodded.

"I will." Orion patted his shoulder.

"Great! Anyone else?"

"I have to get back to work. I didn't get the day off like I wanted." Harry grimaced slightly. Tonks and Harry both disapparated back to the Ministry where they were both working as Aurors. Lily moved over to where Luna and Ginny were standing because she was staying with them for the day.

"And what about Hermione? Did you leave her alone with the kids?" Ginny asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"No…" He trailed off with a smirk. "My mum's, Sirius and Remus are there."

"Why are Grandpa Sirius and Uncle Remus at Hogwarts?" Lily asked curiously.

"They are helping out there now." Orion answered. "Alright, who's ready to go?" Ginny, Luna, Charlie, Lily, Draco, and Fred Weasley apparated with Orion to the Leaky Cauldron and the group sat there for a couple hours before Orion had to leave for Hogwarts. He transported himself directly to Hermione who smiled as soon as he appeared.

"Orion." She said relieved as she snaked her arms around his neck. "I missed you."

"I missed you too, 'Mione." He kissed her passionately. "The twins are on the train and I had a couple drinks with some of the family." He turned as he heard someone clear their throat nearby. "Hello Mum." Minerva smiled and came up to hug her son.

"Hello dear, it is almost time to head to the Great Hall for the Sorting and the feast. Are you ready?" He nodded and followed the Headmistress and his wife to the Great Hall. Neville was waiting in the Entrance Hall for the new students to arrive and the Great Hall was buzzing with the sound of returning students. Orion walked in and was greeted by his oldest children at the Gryffindor table. They watched the sorting and cheered when a student was placed in their house. Orion and Hermione both leaned forward when it came to their family.

"Potter, Albus!" Neville called out. Albus got on the stool nervously and Neville placed the hat on his head. The hall was silent for a moment before the hat yelled out "Gryffindor!" Albus smiled excitedly and headed to sit at the Gryffindor Table. Emmett motioned for him to sit next to him and patted his back. "Longbottom, Alice." Neville sounded just as nervous as Alice looked. "Gryffindor!" The hat called almost as soon as it reached her head. He cheered along with the rest of the Hall as his daughter moved to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Elizabeth. "Malfoy, Scorpius." Scorpius sat down nervously. "Slytherin!" He moved quickly over to the table and looked up at Orion who smiled encouragingly. Scorpius sat next to Sirius Hooch, who was now in is third year at Hogwarts. Rose Hooch was smiling at him from her spot at the Ravenclaw table and waved when their eyes met. She was starting her second year and was excited that her best friend was there this year. "Hooch, Hugo." The last of the Hooch kids was called to be sorted. The hat was silent for a long moment before finally yelling out. "Ravenclaw!" Hugo smiled and hurried to sit next to his sister. Minerva smiled at her family that was now sat all around the Great Hall. It seemed things were going to be just fine now.

The End… for now
