***Knightley Manor above*** 

Annie Knightley, and her husband of 17 years, Durante Knightley, made their way across the King's Cross Station to get to Platform 9 3/4. She had a hand on her ever-growing belly, feeling her next child's kicks.

 They currentlyr had five children, all of whom were named after special people who were a big influence in their lives. 

Cedric, the eldest Knightley, was starting his fourth year at Hogwarts. Minerva, often nicknamed Minnie, was starting her second. Arthur was starting his first. The Knightley twins, Fredrick and Isolde, had a little longer to wait. They were bitter about being the last to go, of course. But at the same time, they couldn't wait until the day came when their first Hogwarts letter came in through owl-post. It was all the youngest of the Knightley twins could talk about. 

They heard many great stories from their parents, grandparents, and cousins. They had come to admire their mother's determination and the role of being the protector, as she was the eldest twin; and she still was. 

Since the war had ended, Dante had completely owned the Knightley Mansion, a centuries-old building that's been passed down for generations. 

They greeted her brother and his wife, Ginny Weasley, when they entered Platform 9 3/4s. Their children and the Knightley's children got along, as well as everyone else's. Spending quality time with the Weasleys was one of their favorite past times. 

"Hey, Gin!" Annie greeted as they approached the Potters. Ginny turned to face her, a grin on her face. "Where are Albus, James, and Lily?" 

"Albus and Lily have gone to chat with Rose and Hugo," Ginny answered abruptly, her voice bright and cheerful. "I don't know where James ran off to, though. I'm sure he'll come around at some point."

And Ginny was right. When Sirius came back, he had a mischievous look in his eyes that made Annie raise her own eyebrow. She knew that look all too well from Ron and the Weasley twins when they were up to no good. She turned to give her nephew a look. 

"What did you do this time, James?" She demanded firmly. 

"I — I saw Victoire kissing Teddy!" He declared, his eyes unusually bright with mischief. "I interrupted them and asked what they were doing, and —"

"You interrupted them?" Ginny asked, rolling her eyes. She scoffed. "You are so like Ron." 

"Never mind that," said James, his tone now serious. He turned to his aunt. "Where are Cedric, Minnie, Fred, and Izzy?" 

"They've gone off to talk with Hugo and Rose before their train leaves," Annie answered. "Here, I'll bring you over to them."

Annie did just that, earning her a grateful look from Ginny, who turned to talk to Albus, who looked as though he was a nervous wreck. Annie didn't blame the middle Potter child for being so nervous. She felt the same way when she was getting Sorted into her house. 

"Bag?" Annie heard Hermione asking her daughter, Rose. 

"Yeah," Rose answered with a grin.

"School books?"

"Yeah."

"All of them?"

Rose rolled her eyes. "Yes, Mum. You asked me the same question this morning." 

Hermione blushed. "I was just making sure." 

"You're always such a worrier." 

"I just want to make sure that you passed your exams." 

"By overworking yourself?" Annie asked as she neared Hermione's shoulder. She made the caramel-color haired girl jump. She spun around before relaxing when she saw Annie in front of her. She smiled slightly. 

"Oh, Annie! Don't scare me like that!" 

Annie shrugged before giving her a hug. She then hugged both Rose and Hugo. Hugo seemed to be looking around for someone with a frown. 

"Where's Uncle Draco? I wanna see Scorpius."

"I'm sure they're here, Hugo." She searched her eyes in the crowd and finally spotted the Malfoy family. Scorpius was standing with his parents, looking slightly nervous. Malfoy caught Annie's eye. He smiled slightly before giving her a polite nod of his head. 

Ever since the war, Annie and Draco had bonded a bit more. They pushed everything from their past and decided to start anew. He'd become less hostile towards her and her family and had come to appreciate them. Even Dante seemed to greatly appreciate his cousin now and recently learned that he had wanted to help his cousin escape his evil aunt's grasp that night at Malfoy Manor when he was being tormented for the sword's whereabouts. 

Dante wore long sleeves or pull-off sleeves most of the time to hide his scars that his Aunt Bellatrix had etched into his skin when she was reigning over Malfoy Manor shortly before the war had ended. But Annie had always assured Dante that he didn't need to hide them, and that it symbolized his bravery for not only surviving the Cruciatus Curse but his long extended amount of torture.

 The scar along his throat had begun to fade into old scars. It was barely noticeable now, unless you got up close. But when the cousins would greet each other, Annie often noticed the look of guilt and shame in his eyes. As though he had felt guilty of not being able to protect his cousin. They might not have gotten along, but neither Dante nor Draco wanted to see each other get hurt the way Dante did. They now remained on friendly terms, neither friends nor allies. But they trusted each other, to say the least. 

"How are you, Dante?" Draco asked as he hugged his cousin, pulling him into a bearhug. 

"I'm doing alright. Busy with work, though. Trying to take care of the kids all at once. And with Annie expecting her sixth child, we're practically scrambling around at the last minute to try and get everything sorted." 

"And we've already had five," Annie joked, her hand going to her belly again as her child kicked in response.

The train's whistle sounded in warning, causing everyone to turn their heads. Annie quickly gave Cedric, Minerva, and Arthur kisses on the foreheads and quick hugs before ushering them on the train. Rose, James, and Albus joined the three children, chattering enthusiastically. Rose grinned as she caught her pet toad, which landed in her hands. This caused Hermione to laugh and Annie to grin. 

The train began to move, and Annie, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Harry, Dante, and Draco stood shoulder-to-shoulder as they watched their children depart from them for another year at Hogwarts.
