Roxanne landed in the portkey offices at the Ministry of Magic and took a breath. She was back in England to work at the new Children Wing at St. Mungo's hospital. She pulled out her phone and turned it on. The ping went off on her phone and saw a text message from her mum, telling her that they were waiting for her outside the office. She tucked her phone in her pocket and everyday thanked Hugo for making phones and other technology work with magic. Roxanne made sure she had her suitcase before heading out of the office.

She saw her father's red head before she saw her mum. It looked like they were talking to someone that Roxanne didn't know. She made her way over to them. It was her mum who saw her first. Angelina hit her husband before grabbing Roxanne in a hug. Her mother held on tight to her.

"Mum, I can't breathe," Roxanne gasped out. Angelina laughed but let Roxanne go. George hugged her next and took her bag.

"What do you have in here?" George asked his daughter.

"My life," Roxanne smiled. George rolled his eyes and Roxanne realized how much she missed her parents.

Her mother lanced her arm through Roxanne. "It's good to have you home," Angelina led the way out of the Ministry.

Roxanne smiled. She had spent the last seven years in New York first training as children healer, then as a children healer. She was back to work in the children wing at St. Mungo's and she had her cousin, Rose to thank her for this job. Rose became the president of St. Mungo's charity and the first thing she did was start funding for the children wing. When it was being built, Rose told Roxanne that she should apply for a job. Roxanne did because she wanted to home.

The family was growing, and she felt that she was missing everything. Most of her cousins were married with children. Her brother was married and had a baby and another one on the way. She loved her nephew and couldn't wait to meet the newest member of the family. Her cousin Lucy was getting married in December and Roxanne was the maid of honor. It was nice to be home to help her plan her wedding. Everyone was doing things. Hugo was making technology work with magic, and everyone loved it. She was glad to be home with her family and friends.

They entered the shop to noise. Children were calling out friends and parents to look at this product or that product. Roxanne smiled because all the color and shouts reminded her of her childhood, working here and getting in trouble with her cousins. Roxanne looked around the store and saw the love potions that her cousins and she tried to grab, but her mother caught them. Roxanne saw the many products that Fred and she took to Hogwarts to use.

As she thought about her brother, she looked around the shop for him or his wife. She saw her brother behind the counter, helping a small boy count his coins for his new toy. Roxanne watched her parents go to the back and she made her way to the counter. She waited in line until it was her turn.

'Let's see what you have," Fred said without looking up, but when nothing was placed on the counter he looked up. A big smile broke on his face. "Roxanne," He came around the counter and hugged his sister. "I have missed you."

"I missed you, too." Roxanne laughed. "Now that I'm back you will tired of me."

Fred smiled. "Maybe."

"Excuse me," A woman said from behind them. "Some of us have places to be and would like to check out."

Fred and Roxanne smiled at each other. Fred went behind the counter again. "Liz and Adair are in the back if you want to see them. I will talk to you at dinner," Fred turned away from her and turned to the woman. He put a smile on his face. "How may I help you?"

Roxanne shook her head as she walked away. Fred put on his customer service smile on when he turned to woman. Roxanne made her way to the back to see Liz and Adair sitting in a chair together sleeping. Roxanne smiled. She would talk to her sister-in-law later. She made her way upstairs to her parents' flat.

They were both standing in the sitting room waiting for her. "We put your bag in your room. Fred and Liz are staying for dinner, but for right now we will let you rest." Her parents went behind her and went back downstairs to the shop.

Roxanne made her way to the back of flat to her room. She opened the door and saw that it still looked the same when she left it seven years ago. There were still posters of her favorite band and pictures of her family on the wall. Her dresser was still in the corner with nick knacks on the top. Her twin bed was still under her window. Her desk was in the opposite corner of her dresser, and it was covered in schoolbooks.

Roxanne went to the window and looked out to the busy London street. It seemed nothing had changed outside. She turned away from the window and looked at her small bed and let out a yawn. She was tired from all the traveling and knew a nap might be in order. She pushed back her colorful comforter that she had bought thinking it was grown up. She did grow up in that bed.

In that bed was the first time she and Hector had sex. He was her first and she glad that the sheets were colorful because it hid the blood. She smiled as she remembered that night. Hector and she had waited a year until she was seventeen. Her parents were gone for the weekend and Fred was spending the night with some friends. Roxanne remembered being nervous, but she had to remember this was Hector and she loved him.

Her heart broke just thinking about Hector. She took a breath because she knew that she would be seeing him here. Their cousins were married to each other. She was going to have to stay away from him because they had a way of finding each other when she was here or if he was in New York. The last time they were together was at Fred's wedding two years ago. During the week that Roxanne was here, she spent more time at his place than she did at home. They always told each other that this was going to be the last time, but it never was. She hoped that she could stay away from him this time.

After the last time, Roxanne went home and soon found out that she was pregnant with his baby. She had just found the courage to write him to tell him about the baby when she had miscarriage. Some part of her was glad that there was no baby and another part was sad about losing a piece of him. She knew that she had to stay away from him, or she knew where she would end up.

Roxanne crawled in bed and went to sleep.

The next day Roxanne received a text from Rose asking her over for tea. Roxanne enjoyed dinner last night with her family. She got to hold her nephew and watch him play with his fingers and toes. He talked to her in his baby talk. They talked about when she was going to start her new job. It was a nice evening and Roxanne was smiling by the time she went to bed.

"Mum, I'm going to Rose's for tea," Roxanne shouted to towards the kitchen. Roxanne felt that she was teenager again, telling her mum where she was going. She was going to have to find a place for herself. She couldn't live with her parents forever.

Roxanne disappeared in the back of the shop. She appeared in front of Malfoy Manor. She looked at the house and shook her head. Her cousin lived there with her husband and four children. She passed the gates and made her way up the path to the house. When she came to the door, she could laughter coming from somewhere in or around the house. She knocked on the door and the door was opened by a house elf.

"Mrs. Malfoy is in the garden with the children," The house elf said. He led her to the garden.

Roxanne stopped in the doorway and saw Rose's two oldest playing some kind of game that they only knew. The three-year-old was playing with something at her mother's feet watching her older siblings. The youngest was in his mother's arms clapping at his older sibling game. Rose was watching the two older ones to make sure they didn't hurt each other.

Roxanne smiled. She never thought that she would see this from Rose. Rose was always getting them in trouble, and no one realized that it was her idea. Roxanne didn't know how many times she took the fall for them getting in trouble. Rose met Scorpius in their last year of Hogwarts and they were married in July after their seventh year. They had their first child the next year. It was through them that Roxanne met Hector Zabini and fell in with the man. They had a great couple of years before they broke up.

"Roxanne," Rose shouted and stood with her youngest in her arms. She hugged Rose with one arm. Rose turned to the house elf. "Snickers, please have tea prepared," She smiled at him. The house elf bowed and left them. "Please take a seat," She pointed to a chair next to the one she was just in. Rose took her seat again. "You look great," Rose smiled. "Are you happy to be in England again?"

Roxanne laughed. "Yes, and I have you to thank for all this."

Rose waved it off. "It was no problem."

Roxanne shook her head. She didn't know how her cousin did. She was president of two charities, a best-selling author, and amazing mother and wife. They spent the next few minutes catching up on each other and the family. They talked about Lucy's wedding that was happening at the end of the year. Rose told her that Ariadne was getting married in August to man that no one in the family liked. They talked about who was having babies, Al and Alice were having their first, while James and his wife, Gail were having their second, and of course Fred having his second.

"Are you going to have any more?" Roxanne asked Rose.

Rose shook her head. "No, I think four is just enough for us. And what about you are you going to join this baby making family?"

Roxanne smiled. She did want kids, but she hasn't found the right guy to have them with. "I haven't found the right guy," She stared her cousin down.

"I think you have, you two just have to realize that you two were meant for each other," Rose smiled.

"Hector and I broke up seven years ago," Roxanne narrowed her eyes at her cousin.

"Who said I was talking about Hector," Roxanne felt the blush creeping up her face. She was glad that her skin was darker so Rose may not notice.

"You have been thinking about him," Rose caught her.

"Yes, only to stay away from him," Roxanne said.

"Why so you don't spend a week in his bed again?" Rose smirked.

"How did you know?" Roxanne didn't think as she said the question. Hector might have told Scorpius and Scorpius told Rose.

"I didn't but thank you for confirming it. We all thought that you spent the week you were here for Fred's wedding in Hector's bed. I can't wait until I tell the others," Rose smiled didn't crack as she turned away from Roxanne to her children. They had come up and got biscuits and juice when the tea was brought out. "Jason, you don't hit your sister," Rose saw Jason just hit his sister.

"Mummy, she hit me first," Jason gave his reasoning. Rose looked from Jason to Bridget.

"And you don't hit your brother. Next time I catch you, you both will be in time out." Rose stared her children down. They nodded and ran away. Rose gave her children one more look before a ping went off on her phone. She glanced at it and sent a replied to the person. She set her phone. "Would you like to stay for dinner? Scorpius would like to see you." The way Rose said it made Roxanne think she was up to something.

Roxanne narrowed her eyes at her cousin. "Sure. What are you up to?" Roxanne asked. All she got was smiled before Rose was yelling at her children again.

"Jason in that corner and Britany in that corner," Rose pointed to the corners. "You have to be quiet for five minutes," Rose pulled out a timer on her phone.

"Mum…" Jason started.

"If I hear one more word from you, I will add another minute." Rose said without turning around.

Halfway through the children time out, a noise came from inside and all the children knew it was their father. Rose gave the two in a time out a look. Scorpius came out on the patio and saw his two oldest in a time out. He raised an eyebrow to Rose. Another person walked on the patio with Scorpius and Roxanne turned away from the parents to the newcomer. Roxanne breath hitched when she saw who it was. His name came to her.

Hector.
