If you are following this story and got that it had an upstate there's a second authors note at the end that's all.

Epilogue: Nineteen Years Later

"It isn't fair," Lilly squealed. "How come I don't get to go?"

"Your time will come soon enough dear," Hermione said patting her daughter on the head. "Besides you've gone to see Daddy at work loads of times."

"Yeah but we only ever go to his office and his classroom. I never get to see any of the good stuff that James is always talking about. He told me the other day that there's a room where he can get all the food he wants."

"Your brother has clearly been spending too much time with your Uncle Ron," Hermione replied. "When I was in school that room was always full of books. Maybe if it did that for your brother he wouldn't need to copy off of Roses homework so much."

"He only spends so much time over there because Aunt Katie is a better cook than you he says."

"Yes well Uncle Ron and Aunt Katie have a bit more time for that during their off-season from Quidditch than I do," Hermione replied. "The Ministry doesn't exactly have an off-season."

At that moment Harry walked up with Albus, "Is she whining about not going again?" he asked.

"She's does the same thing every year," Albus whined.

"I seem to remember you saying the same thing just last year," Hermione said smiling at her middle son.

"Tell you what Sweety you can come have lunch with me next week. We'll eat in the Great Hall an everything."

"Can't we go somewhere cool?" Lilly asked.

"Well maybe Headmaster Snape would be okay with you going to meet Fawkes."

"Who's Fawkes?" Lilly and Albus asked in unison.

"Fawkes is someone who saved Daddy's life once."

"Like Mommy?" Lilly asked.

"And Uncle Ron?" Albus asked.

"Don't forget about the Headmaster," James called, returning to his family after dropping off his trunk. "Gee Dad is there anyone we know that didn't save your neck at some point?"

"I've told you how important it is to make good friends," Harry replied.

"Now you know why I laugh every time you tell me to be comfortable on your broom. Professor Neville told us last year that you spent more time hanging off yours than riding on it when you were in school."

"Professor Neville and I may need to have a little chat about secrets," Harry mentioned.

"Oh Dad you're so Defensive," James teased.

"Okay that's your one for the year," Harry said smiling at his oldest son.

"I'd say I'd talk to Ginny about it but she is probably feeding her husband with most of that information about your father."

"Yeah why does Aunt Ginny seem to know so much about you when she's younger than you?" Albus asked.

Harry and Hermione looked uncomfortably at each other. Somehow they had never been able to tell any of their children that the women they referred to as Aunt Ginny was also their father's ex-girlfriend. "Well we've just always been close," Harry said awkwardly. "Now come on, we need to get you on the train."

They kissed their sons goodbye though they would be seeing plenty of them and stood on the platform with their daughter. "I'm always glad that you'll be there to watch out for them," Hermione said as they waved along with all the other parents.

Harry looked down at his bride and smiled, "Don't worry, if they ever need anything I know a hero who has been looking for someone to save for the last 19 years."

Hermione gripped her husband and grinned, "Forever the hero, forever mine."

A/N: I know it's short but I just wanted to put a little bow on everything and give you my version of how I think they should have grown up. I hope you enjoyed reading and thanks so much for following along. I have another story started, something I've been working on when I couldn't get inspired for this one. It's another Harry/Hermione story set 10 years after the end of Deathly Hallows. I'll probably start posting some of it in a few days, once I can be sure I know where the story is going. In the meantime you can always read my other story on here, 'Harry Potter and the Fight To Start Over.' It's another Harry/Hermione with Ginny thrown in as well and takes off directly from the morning after the Battle of Hogwarts. Check it out if you want and let me know what you think. Thanks again and I'll see you in the next story.

A/N 2.0: Update: Having trouble getting motivated to write this next story. Wondering if anyone out there would be interested in being a beta for me that I could send the first few chapters and then maybe bounce a few ideas off of, preferably someone that you know actually likes the way I write. The last thing I wanna do is start posting a story on here and then not finish it. Message me if you're interested.
