Epilogue – 19 Years Later

Hermione Black stood on Platform 9 ¾ with her eldest children. Scorpius, 13, and Cassiopeia, 11, would soon be boarding the Hogwarts Express to begin the school year. Hermione looked over her shoulder just in time to see her husband, Draco, pushing a large trolley with the kids' trunks and the twins in tow.

"Wheeeee!" Lyra and Leo, 6, squealed as their dad turned the trolley and made a zooming sound, imitating one those muggle amusement rides that the family often enjoyed.

Scorp and Cassie were eagerly looking through the crowd, searching for their cousins. After a few minutes, Cassie stretched her arm high in the air and started waving her hand. "I think I see Auntie Luna!"

Blaise, Luna, and their children Matteo, 13, and Gia, 10, met up with the Black family and hugs here exchanged all around. Scorp at Matty were both third-year Ravenclaws and starting Chasers for their Quidditch team. Cassie was going to begin her first year, and there was little doubt that she would follow her mother's footsteps into Gryffindor. While Scorp was a blend of his parents in looks and personality, Cassie was an exact replica of their mum. She even had a grey half-kneazle named Ash, currently napping in the cage at her feet.

While the three school-bound children talked animatedly about Hogwarts, Gia stood there sullenly. She would have to wait until the following September before she could join her brother and cousins at Hogwarts. Gia was not looking forward to spending a whole year alone with the terrifying twins, who would most certainly be in Slytherin one day. It was also likely that the yellow-haired pair would become more infamous at Hogwarts than their red-haired predecessors.

Soon it was time for goodbyes. At least for Cassie, as the boys had already disappeared onto the train. "Remember to owl us first thing tomorrow… your mum will want to know how you've settled in. Be sure to look up from your book now and then." Draco bent down and kissed the top of his daughter's head. "Love you Cass."

"I will daddy. Love you too!" Then, after a teary send-off from her mother, she was gone.

Draco comforted his wife, standing with his arm around Hermione's shoulder. After giving her a few moments to compose herself, he turned to her and the remaining kids. "Shall we head to Diagon Alley for some ice cream? Uncle Blaise's treat."

"Okay!"

That's it, thanks for reading!

This is my first (and probably last) attempt at writing fanfiction. I love reading Dramione, especially AUs. I wrote this because it was a concept I couldn't find anywhere but wanted to read. Kept day dreaming these little scenes and had to put them down. Decided to share. If you like it, great, if you don't, that's okay too. Wasn't meant to be a masterpiece... just a short, fluffy story to entertain myself.

Writing fiction is much harder and more time consuming that I realized, so thank you to all the real writers out there who give us the stories we love!
