XVII. This is Nineteen Years Later

Head Auror Ron Weasley was overlooking the platform full of school kids. He'd always loved kids, never had any of his own, and growing up one of seven meant he'd always thought he'd be a busy uncle, but only George had a kid, a boy he named Artemis - Art for short - was nine so they wouldn't be here today. But he had Teddy, and that was more than enough for him.

He spotted Harry in the crowd, who with Draco had four kids. Two of whom were missing. Ron went to them, greeting the girls, Lily and Vanessa, with a hug.

"Where's Teddy Uncle Ron?" Lily asked. Ron shrugged.

"Teddy's all grown up now I don't know where he is." Ron answered, though he knew his godson was a little ways away to his left - He'd raised Teddy when Remus passed shortly after they boy's seventh birthday. "Speaking of, you're missing two." Ron pointed out, and Draco looked around panicked for a minute before spotting their troublesome little twins trying to sneak onto the train - packed trunks and everything.

"Your turn?" Harry asked when they were pointed out. Draco sighed.

"They do this every year." Draco complained and Ron grinned.

"Next year I'll hear you complaining about how they grow up too fast." Ron called, the boys were ten.

"They do grow up too fast." Harry muttered. She gave the girls a final kiss each then let them go to find seats.

"Hows things?" Harry asked him, they were absently watching Draco pulling the twins off the train as they tried their best to get away from him.

"Not bad. You?" He asked and she shrugged.

"The new healer is doing a pretty good job," Harry reported, she was prone to violent episodes since the war, she'd never been allowed alone with her own children and they all knew a safe word to put her to sleep if it happened.

"That's the one who made a little progress with Ginny," Ron said shortly, the he added, "She's good," In an attempt to lighten the mood. The healer had made enough progress with Ginny that he'd gotten to speak to his little sister again, once, before she killed herself.

Harry just nodded.

"I'll be glad to see the back's of you two next year. You can go off and become Neville's problem." Draco announced, dragging the twins back to their mother. They ignored her in favour of hugging Ron.

"Uncle Ron, where's Teddy?" They both asked. Ron rolled his eyes.

"What is your kids fascination with my godson?" Ron asked Harry and Draco, who both shrugged.

"Oh there he is," James said, pointing to Teddy who was rather explicitly snogging Luna and Sasha's 17 year old daughter Lyda.

"Oi!" Ron called out, Teddy panicked and stepped back from Lyda, who was laughing rather hard until her father grabbed her by the elbow and started rather hysterically scolding her in fast Russian.

"Heh," Teddy muttered sheepishly as he approached the group. "Sorry Uncle Ron I was...er...um..."

"Tonsil deep?" Ron supplied, Draco snorted in a poor attempt to stop himself from laughing. "At least now I know why you were so eager to say goodbye to some of your friends." Ron muttered. "I'll hear about this from Sasha at work you know? I heard all about it from the dad of your last girlfriend, three letters in one week about being caught in broom cupboards." Ron said and rolled his eyes.

"Wonder where he gets that from?" Harry asked, Ron's ears turned red but he didn't comment. He was unmarried, not celibate.

"Nothing dad wouldn't be proud of, Eh Uncle Draco?" Teddy asked, Draco shook his head.

"Don't bring me into this." He said simply.

"I think Sirius would have approved." Harry said with a frown, "Not so sure about Remus."

The whistle blew as the clock struck eleven and the huge engine pushed off and began pulling from the platform there were kids hanging from the windows, Ron waved as he spotted Lyda in the door, she was a Ravenclaw prefect (and much better at not getting caught in broom cupboards than Teddy was apparently) Vanessa and her fourth year Gryffindor friends were hanging out another window, Lily with the Gryffindor first years were in the last carriage and then the train was gone.

"Oh yeah, George wanted me to remind you that today's the last day to put your bets in for what house the twins are going into." Ron said with a smirk, he'd won them all so far and wasn't planning on breaking his streak. "And I'll see you both for dinner at mum's tonight?"

They nodded and he took his leave, spotting a family with their three kids who'd just arrived on the platform. He loved doing the school run, George was held up at the shop today so the ministry spared him to fly any latecomers to school in a blue ford angila. They called it the Weasley Run.
