"Come on, you guys; we're gonna miss the train," Raven said as she excitedly shook her parents awake. Hermione was the first to awaken, and saw her pretty teenage daughter standing at the nearside of her bed. Looking at the alarm clock, she saw that it was only 7:04am, plenty of time to get ready.
"Go back to bed, hun, it isn't even 9 o'clock," she replied groggily. As she pulled the covers back over herself, Raven pouted, before tossing a jug of cold water over her mother. As Hermione shot up, Bella turned over, and saw her wife soaked to the bone.
"Well, I could do with a shower;" she said getting out of the bed and shedding her underwear. "Would you care to join me?" she offered, the now wide awake brunette quickly jumping out of the bed and out of her now wet underwear to accompany her.
By the time the pair had finished Raven was already well underway with cooking her parents a traditional English breakfast: grilled sausages and bacon, poached eggs and a splash of baked beans. It was also traditional in that it was the same breakfast they would have each year before Raven headed to Hogwarts for the year. Claire was busying herself with the table and Crookshanks was sitting on the couch, relaxing as they busied themselves around him.
"I see the lovebirds have been busy," Raven chortled, seeing her mothers in their towels, their normally bushy bed hair matted and straight. "I started making breakfast without you. I hope you don't mind."
Hermione grabbed a slice of toast off the plate, and slowly nibbled on it. "Did you put some coffee on?" she asked, and Claire obliged by levitating the pot of ebon heaven towards her. Bella got two mugs out of the cupboard while Hermione got the milk. Within five minutes the family were digging in to their breakfast, with only cursory glances at the morning news. Hermione's parents had insisted that she be raised as normally as possible, and have friends outside of Hogwarts. Naturally, this meant that Raven would keep up with current events and pop culture. Currently she was listening to a Korean popstar's hit single on her iPod.
"Raven," Bella asked, "have you finished packing yet?"
"Not yet mum, I still have to sort Padfoot out. He keeps insisting on sleeping in my bed once I get out of it;" she replied. At the mere mention of his name, her 12 month old black Labrador puppy came bounding into the room, softly licking her bare feet under the table.
"I think Padfoot will make great company at Hogwarts," Hermione said, polishing off her first coffee cup before the phone rang.
"15 years and I still won't get used to that phone," Bella complained, as she gave Padfoot a strip of bacon off her plate to munch on.
"That was Ginny," Hermione said as she put the phone down on its stand. "She and the kids are coming here in about an hour's time, soon as she gets them ready."
"James always messes around with Aunt Ginny before going to Hogwarts," Raven giggled, before morphing and flying back upstairs, with Padfoot in pursuit.
"Raven, make sure you're packed before they get here," Bella shouted up to her daughter.
"Okay mum," came the reply, complete with excited barking from Padfoot as Raven begun to cuddle him. As Bella tutted Hermione slinked her way towards her wife.
"Do you think we have enough time before they get here?" she asked, gesturing to the basement where she was first brought all those years ago. Bella looked at Claire, who smiled warmly at her, telling her it would be fine by her, and quick as a flash Bella had pulled Hermione down into the basement.
In truth, they had all day to be doing this, but they were just so horny that they needed to do it now, and get rid of some of the heat before Ginny arrived. Shedding their towels, the two set to work on each other, kissing and tweaking every inch of each other's bodies until they shuddered with pleasure. Hermione pushed back the band of hair that covered Bella's scar and stroked her cheek tenderly. "You are one of the bravest, and most beautiful women that I have ever loved; Bella Black," she purred as she slowly kissed down her wife's neck. She lay down on the table and summoned a series of clamps and toys for Bella to use.
As Ginny and her children arrived, they were already packed and ready for school. Ginny's youngest son, Albus, had just turned 11 the month prior, and so he was now eligible to go to Hogwarts alongside the twins James and Lily. James had inherited his father and paternal grandfather's penchant for mischief, causing more and more pranks with each passing year. He had even found the Marauders Map in his mother's room, and after some guidance from his late father he was able to activate the maps powers. Lily on the other hand was fiery like the other female Weasleys. Being older by 5 minutes she sought to constantly protect her fraternal twin, and had inherited her mother's mastery over the 'Bat-Bogey Hex'. In addition, now that she was 15 boys were paying a lot more attention to her. Al on the other hand was very timid and shy. He was always being compared to the twins, and believed that they were better than him. He feared going to Hogwarts, believing that they would throw him out for being worse than his siblings.
The group made their way inside the Manor, with Claire greeting them alongside a very happy Padfoot. Raven flew down and flopped into a seat on the sofa, squirming as James decided to sit on her chest and pretending it was a seat. Her response was to start tickling him underneath his shirt, and eventually Lily joined in, double teaming James with the tickle torture. Leaving the kids in the capable hands of Claire, Ginny made her way down into the basement to find the missing pair. Opening the bottom door, she saw Hermione tied upside down and gagged, with clips all over her body and a dildo in her ass, all the while Bella was nonchalantly plucking off clips to hear the muffled yelps of her wife.
"I see you two have been busy this morning…" Hermione looked up and saw that her friend was watching her most intimate situation with glee. "Bella, do you mind if I join in?" she asked.
"I doubt Hermione would mind, so go ahead," she answered caressing Hermione's ass as she walked away. Ginny walked over and started to tug on the clips on Hermione's nipples, making them elongate with pain each time.
"It has been way too long since I played with you guys," she said while stroking Hermione's tits. "Between Quidditch matches and raising three kids, I barely have any time for our get-togethers."
"Funny, we were going to suggest you come around later today and hang out, just the three of us." Bella moved to untie the gag in Hermione's mouth. "What do you say, pet?"
"I would love it!" came her eager reply. Bella and Ginny responded by redoubling their efforts to pull as many clips off her as possible in the shortest amount of time; Ginny beating Bella by three.
"Well, since you won that little contest, you get to finish her off, Ginny," Bella grinned. Summoning her own dildo, she turned Hermione to a 45° angle on the board before fucking her face with it. Ginny meanwhile was busy teasing her pussy while playing with the dildo in her ass. After about 5 minutes of this rough treatment, Hermione finally came, soaking Ginny's face and orgasming repeatedly. As the three enjoyed the afterglow of this teaser session to the days main event later on, they cleaned themselves up and headed back upstairs.

The group made the trip to Kings Cross via Floo Powder, arriving at a hidden alleyway next to Platform 9 ¾. After conversing with the staff, they spotted their friends making their way towards them: Ron and Emma, with their children; and Draco and his son. As the group got together the teens talked to one another while the adults caught up. As they conversed a few more people arrived at the station; Fleur and Bill, with their daughter Victorie, and their godson Teddy Lupin in tow. Even more of a surprise was the appearance of Tom Riddle, who it later turned out, had been at the Ministry early that morning in a meeting with Minister Shacklebolt, who was close to retiring.
Victorie was a different story compared to Ginny's children. She was one of the younger kids of the main group and at the age of 13 she had been turning quite a few heads around Hogwarts. Add to that her Veela ancestry and she was indeed one of the hottest teens around.
15 year old Teddy Lupin spent a lot of his time with his grandmother, Andromeda Tonks, as well as his great aunts Bella and Narcissa Malfoy and his godparents. He and Victorie had also begun dating, and the two appeared to be made for each other. The two were happy to have him in their lives, and Teddy loved having a family.
Ron and Emma's children, Rose and Hugo were almost exact duplicates of Ron and Hermione in terms of personalities. Hugo, being a second year had a whole year of experience more than his sister, but Rose was no slouch. Her father had shown her a lot of books from his time at Hogwarts and she had taken the time to read them to the point where she was on equal footing with her brother and above par with her peers. She also had a lot of innate talent and never failed to make it known to her brother. However, Hugo was very protective of his younger sibling, once standing up to a group of boys who had attempted to pick on her in their school.
Scorpius Malfoy, Draco's only son, was a sweet and caring young man. Draco had instilled in him a sense of pride and honour, in that he should be proud to be a Slytherin like his father, but also honour the fact that he is not above the other houses either. Since Lucius' death Draco had lessened his views on Muggles and half-bloods immensely. He no longer considered blood purity to be the most important thing in life, and he would teach his son to respect everyone that he met.
As everyone was chatting, Albus wandered off spotting a crow on a bench. Following the crow, he found himself heading to a waiting room, where the crow revealed himself to be none other than his father, the legendary Harry Potter. Albus had heard stories from his siblings about his father, but had never actually met him. Harry decided to take the time to catch up with his son, given that he knew what it was like not knowing his father. The two embraced each other, and after several declarations of love between the two, Albus summoned the courage needed to ask the burning question on his mind.
"Dad, what happens if I end up in Slytherin?" he asked, "I don't want to be away from James and Lily."
"Albus Serverus Weasley," Harry answered, putting his hand on his son's shoulder, "you were named after two Headmasters' of Hogwarts. One was a very clever man, who taught me a lot of valuable life lessons, while the other was the single bravest man I have ever known."
"But Dad, what if I'm not ready to be a wizard, I'm not as good as James or Lily, I'm just, well me…" Albus looked down at his feet, but Harry crouched down to look his son in the eye.
"Al, if you do end up in Slytherin, then they will have gained a remarkable new house member, with a very bright future. And if you really don't want to be in Slytherin, then just say so to the Sorting Hat; it does take your choice into account."
"How do you know that?" Albus asked.
"It took mine into account." Harry barely told anyone this fact, and if he did it was to people he really trusted and cared for. "Don't be scared about the future, Al. There are so many things you are going to be able to do at Hogwarts, and you will have family to help you through it."
"Thanks Dad," a tearful Albus replied, giving his father a hug just as his mother walked in.
"Harry!" Ginny cried out dashing towards him and giving him a much overdue kiss. The rest of the gang soon followed suit, joining Harry, Ginny and Albus in the room. With the children fawning over the infamous Harry Potter, and James sprouting stories of his time as a Hogwarts student, the parents all conversed with one another.
"So, have you figured out a way to stay in this world longer than a day, Harry?" Bella asked, "Because I have a sneaking suspicion your kids want some family time with you."
"Still working on the last few details, but I may have found a solution;" Harry replied. "While I would still need to carry out my duties as Death, I may have found a way to be in two places at once." With this, he concentrated, and his animal form, (a crow) emerged and formed beside him as a humanoid figure. "In effect, my animal form is the 'spectre' of Death, while I am the 'spirit' or 'soul' of Death," he explained. "So by removing the two aspects, one can perform the tasks at hand in the Spirit Realm and the Afterlife, while I remain here in the Physical Realm."
"So does that mean you're here to stay, for good?" Ginny asked.
"Not exactly," Ginny's face saddened, before Harry picked up her chin and gave her another kiss. "Consider it more like shifts at work," he said with a beaming smile. At this revelation, Ginny hugged him tighter than ever before. "And I believe that the first formal thing I shall do now is this:" Harry got down on one knee and materialised a golden rune-encrusted ring, "Ginny Weasley, after all these years of patiently waiting, will you finally marry me?"
The look on Ginny's face was priceless, the other couples in the room were looking on and happy for her while she was momentarily speechless. "Harry James Potter, nothing in this world would stop me from marrying you, nor make me happier." She got up and kissed him, only stopping so that they could place the ring on her finger.
As the train signalled its impending departure, the group headed back to the platform. The Potter-Weasleys gave their parents a massive group hug, the first of many; while the Weasley-Watsons kissed their parents goodbye. Scorpius gave his father a formal handshake, before pulling him into a warm embrace. Victorie and Teddy hugged Bill and Fleur, saying that they would look out for each other.
Finally Raven hugged her mothers tightly, telling them she would do everything she could to make them proud. As the train embarked and the group were waved off Hermione felt hope in her heart. Bella felt it too, and as the two bade their farewells to the other families, along with their invitation to Ginny, they headed home. They decided to Apparate to the town that their home was located and then walk the rest of the way, enjoying the September sun.
"Bella," Hermione asked, "do you ever regret the choices you made in the past?" Bella looked at her puzzled, before pulling her close.
"Hermione, I have done a lot of things, made a lot of choices I'm not proud of, things that I regret doing, things I wish I could change. But if there's one thing I am proud of, it is not killing you in the Ministry, the night Sirius died. If I had, we would never have had our beautiful daughter. We would never have had companionship together. I am proud to be married to a beautiful woman, Muggle born or not. "
"And the plane crash?"
"If I could do over those events, I wouldn't, because it wouldn't change anything. I made a choice, good or bad. That's all there is to it." Bella gave Hermione a long kiss to prove her point just as they got to the door of Black Manor.
"Well, I doubt that I would want to change what happened," Hermione said opening the door to the Manor. "My experiences say that once you choose something that path is set in stone."
"So true." As Hermione made her way inside to prepare for the afternoon's activities, Bella looked out into the fields, and across to the village nearby. The scar across her eye from the crash would never heal, but it reminded her of the choice she made that day. Hermione's words rang true. She didn't want to change anything. After all, she had everything she had ever wanted right here – a loving family. She entered the manor and closed the door. All was well with her own little piece of the world.
