Twelve Years later, New England
It had been seven years since Harry had gone into remission. And he was happy, but there was always an aching pit of emptiness in him. Like there was something missing. He'd had his scar removed when he had the surgery to remove the tumor. And so far no signs had shown of it coming back. He lived in Boston, in a large house in the suburbs, with his three children. When he met Lindsey during one of his treatments at the hospital they had immedietly hit it off. They got married, had kids...and then she got in a car accident. Harry thought of this now bitterly, and had just begun to read some of his journals when his youngest daughter, Lexie, ran in the door.
"Daddy!"she squealed, adn jumped on his bed,"It's Sarah and James birthday!"she squealed, and he kissed her forhead.
"And how old are they?"he asked her quizzically, and her face lit up,"I'm seven..and they're elleven!"she said, and he smiled,"Yes they are sweetie..and your already seven too..it seemed like just yesterday when your mother and I had you.."he said, and he hugged him,"Can we go watch them open presents??"she asked happily, and he nodded, and she squealed, running off towards their bedrooms, and he got up tiredly, feeling where his scar used to be, and sighed, putting on a pair of pants and a sweater, putting on his contacts, and followed them downstairs, and saw something at the bottom that made him cringe. He picked them up, and stared at them with disintrest.

"Dad, are those for us??"Sarah asked him excitedly, and he nodded slowly, handing them to them, his stomach clenched.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"she finished reading the letter in shock, and Harry picked up her letter.
"This aught to be interesting.."he said quietly, and looked at them.
"Dad...is this some kind of joke?"James said slowly, and Harry shook his head.
"It's not a joke..I went there.."he said, exasperated, and picked up the other envelope. Filled with four plane tickets to london. One way.
"This is not fair..they can't force me to go back there after.."he thought, and tried to calm himself down,"James..why don't you read yours then?"he said tiredly, and James quickly scanned through it.
"Wow.."he said in awe, and Harry smiled soflty.
"It looks like we are going to London tommarow morning..I have to owl Mcgonogall and tell her that I'm coming.."he said, and they stared at him.
"Why don't you pack..we can go get something to eat..and drive up to New York to take the plane.."he said, and they nodded.
Two Days Later they were in London, getting off the plane and walking through the airport.
"Daddy, where are we going to stay?"Sarah asked him, and he directed them towards a curb, and pulled out his wand.
"What are you doing?"Sarah asked him, and the Knight Bus appeared, and they glanced at it in shock.
"Come on..this isn't very comforable but it does have beds, and you can get some sleep..."he said, and looked at the Driver,"Ernie..could you take us to Diagon Alley please?"he said, and they sat down on the beds as the scenery changed, and Lexie jumped into her fathers lap, her arms around his neck.
"Thank you.."Harry said, dumping a pile of gold coins into the tin, and taking them and there luggage into the Leaky Cauldron, and walking up to Tom.
"Tom.."he said, and Tom looked up at him, his eyes wide.
"Mr. Potter..."he said in awe, and Harry nodded curtly.
"Could you give me two rooms for the rest of the week untill my children board the train? Untill September first that is.."he said, and they nodded.
"Definetly.."he said, and Harry smiled,"You're a great help.."he said, and told the kids to follow him.
During the next week they were all introduced to magic. He took them to quality quidditch supplies..and into Gringotts to get his racing broom, and more money. He bought them ice cream, robes..potions suppilies...quills, and parchment. Once they had gotten everything he helped them to learn about the wizarding world as much as he could. About Voldemort..but not about what he had done to save the Wizarding world from him...about Hogwarts..and how if they didn't get into Gryffindor he would be suprised and not upset, and how not to get into Slytherin because it was the worst house that you culd be in...
"Now you just need to walk straight at the platform, you'll go through it..best to do it if a bit of a run if your nervous..."he said,remembering Molly's words to him when he was a first year, and pushed Sarah forward,"Go ahead sweetheart.."he said, and she smiled and ran at a full run towards the barrier, and ended up on the other side.
"James, you next..and I'll take Lexie.."he said, and James ran through, and Harry braced himself, and ran through with Lexie, who was giggling madly, nad smiled when he saw the Hogwarts express, and his children waiting for him,"Go put your trunks in the luggage compartment and come and say goodbye when you're done.."he said, adn they nodded nad took off.
"Lexie...in four years you'll get to go to Hogwarts..."he said, and she nodded excitedly, and clung to him.
He saw Molly Weasley before she saw him, and he turned his head away from her, "Ron honestly he's not going to be here..."he heard her say, and she sat down,"Arthur said that you would understand in time..."
"But I don't understand!"Ron said,"He was my best friend, and he saved me..and then he was gone...no more joking..no more anything..I couldn't even tell him thank you...he was selfish..that's what he was..leaving like that! I mean, what if he's dead?? It makes me angry just to think about it!"he finished, and Harry put Lexie down and kissed her on the cheek.
"Why don't you go and find your brother and sister?"he said to her, nad she left, nad he took out the Daily Prophet, putting it over her face.
