This is actually my first fic, but I posted my other one, Lily and JamesThe Hogwarts Years, first. Sorry that the 1st chapter is a little boring, but I have to explain a lot of stuff.

The big black hat loomed in front of Harry. He could tell that it was the Sorting Hat.
"Harry," it whispered.
He awoke with a start. He was so nervous about sending his kids to Hogwarts because the Dark Lord might come after them. After all, he was the Minister of Magic, and married to whom he thought was the loveliest person in the world, Cho Potter.
Now, Harry and Cho were very happy together. They had five wonderful kids and they were all great at Quidditch. Cho kept assuring Harry that the Dark Lord wouldn't come after their kids, but Harry was still a nervous wreck.
Their oldest, Daniel, would leave for Hogwarts for the first time in the morning. He had gotten his letter the month before, and they had all taken a trip to Diagon Alley together to get his school supplies.
Two Christmases before, Harry and Cho had taken a secret trip to Diagon Alley while his girls, Joanne and Katie, visited the Weasleys, and his boys, Daniel, Rupert and Cedric, visited the Krums. Ron had married Lavender Brown, and they had two girls that were exactly Joanne and Katie's ages, which were seven and nine. Katie was older, and she made sure Joanne and the rest of the world knew it every second.
Hermione had married Victor Krum, and they had four boys and one girl. The girl's name was Annie, and she was 18 years old. The boys were five, eight, 11, and 13. The 13 year old was already enrolled in Hogwarts even though they lived in Bulgaria, because Hermione insisted on it. The 11 year old was Daniel's age, and the 5 and 8 year olds were the same ages as Rupert and Cedric. Rupert was younger. Harry and Cho had decided to name Cedric after Cedric Diggory, who had died in Harry's fourth year.
Anyways, when Harry and Cho went to Diagon Alley, they purchased what the kids thought was the best Christmas present ever. They bought them broomsticks. They got two, one for the boys, and one for the girls. They were both some of the newest models.
The girls' was called a Saturn, and it was specially formed for girls and women. Cho herself had one.
For the boys there
was a Lightning Streak, the newest racing model. Harry
still had his trusty Firebolt. Even though they were more than 20 years old,
they were still in style because of their amazing features.

The day after Harry's dream, Cho drove all of the kids and Harry to King's Cross Station in one of the Ministry cars. Harry was too much of a nervous wreck to drive.
At Platform 9 and ¾, they met up with Hermione and Victor, because they were dropping off their 11 and 13 year olds, Siggy and Pegro.
Harry and Hermione were sure that Pegro and Daniel would be friends at school. They had met once before when Harry and Cho visited Bulgaria and stayed with the Krums. They were inseparable for the week, and both were a little teary eyed when the Potters had to leave.
At the platform, while they were waiting for the Hogwarts Express to arrive, Siggy told them what Hogwarts was like now. It seemed that all of the teachers were the same as they had been in Harry's 4th year, except that Neville Longbottom, who had been in Harry's year, was the Herbology teacher, and Percy Weasley was the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. The rest of the teachers were very old, and Dumbledore had to be at least 200. They were all in good health though, thanks to Madam Pomfry.
"Is Hagrid still the Care of Magical Creatures teacher?" Harry asked, trying to sound only mildly interested. Hermione knew that he was very interested.
"Oh, yes," Siggy replied.
"He's doing fine," added Annie, who had graduated last year. She now worked at Madam Malkin's Robes, being an apprentice to take over when Madam Malkin passed on. She was very into sewing, Hermione had told him. She even stitched her own dress robes.
Everyone's heads turned as the scarlet steam engine rolled into view. Everyone bustled to get on.
"Goodbye," Harry and Cho called to Daniel. Harry handed him a package with holes in it.
"Don't open it until you're on the train," Harry told him.
"Alright! Bye! I love you," Daniel called as he boarded the train with Pegro. Harry was feeling dizzier by the minute.
As the train pulled away, he stumbled. Cho frantically helped him up again and led him to the car. She, obviously, drove again.
When they returned to their house in outer London, Cho had Harry sit down while she got him a glass of ice water.
"What-," she started as she walked into the room, but stopped short because Harry had fallen asleep, and was snoring loudly. She smiled at him, and went outside to polish her Saturn.
