Chapter 532: Nineteen Years Later
Nineteen years later, autumn seemed to have arrived all at once, and on the morning of the first of September, crisp and golden as apples, Darren and Hermione, and their son and daughter, crossed the road towards the sprawling, blackened train station, the exhaust of the cars and the water vapor exhaled by pedestrians glistening like cobwebs and floating in the cool air, the two large cages rattling on the roof of the luggage cart pushed by their parents, the owl in the cage chirping dissatisfiedly, and the little girl grabbing his arm and following with great interest.

"Why take the train, we can fly directly over," the little girl was a little dissatisfied.
"It's tradition," Darren said to her, "especially you, this is your first year at Hogwarts, and you're going to take the road of a new life, and this is the only time to take a boat!"
"Oh. “
"That's right," said the little girl's brother, "there are big octopuses in the lake, and if you don't obey, you'll be caught in the lake and locked up in the mermaid's village." “
"Hmph, the merfolk wouldn't dare, then they would be punished by the Ministry of Magic. “
In the midst of the chatter and laughter, as the family walked through the flow of people towards the partition wall between platforms 9 and 10, the passengers stared curiously at the owls, and in the midst of the noise, Darren heard a familiar voice drifting from the front.
"I won't! I'm not going to Slytherin!"
"James, stop making trouble!"
"I'm just saying he maybe, and that's right, he'll probably get into Slater......"
"Harry, Ginny!" Darren greeted him loudly, Harry had finally done what he wanted to be, and at least this time he hadn't told the Elder Wand the secrets of the Elder Wand's legacy in front ......of an entire auditorium before going back to the job.
"Ah, it's Darren, and Hermione," Harry and Ginny hurriedly replied, "Well, you can go to school together," they said to the little ones.
"Of course. “
As they spoke, the two families approached the partition wall, through which they reached Platform 9 and 3/4, which was shrouded in a large amount of white mist from the red Hogwarts Express, and a vague figure surging in the mist.
"Where are they?" Albus asked anxiously as he walked as he looked at the figure in the fog.
"Will find out. Ginny reassured.
But the vapor was so thick that it was hard to see people's faces. The voice of the invisible person sounded unusually loud. Harry seemed to hear Percy talking loudly about broomstick management, and he was glad he didn't have to stop to say hello......
"I think that's it, Albus. Ginny said suddenly.
Four men appeared in the mist, standing next to the last carriage. Harry, Ginny, Lily, and Albus stepped closer to see their faces.
"Hey. Albus said, seemingly greatly relieved.
Rose looked at him with a smile as she put on her brand new Hogwarts robes.
Back on the platform, Lily and Rose's brother Hugo are discussing which house they will be placed in when they enter Hogwarts.
Jaime got out, had unloaded the luggage, the owl and the cart, and apparently had a belly of news to tell.
"Teddy over there," he said, panting, gesturing to the clouds of steam behind him, "just bumped into it! Guess what he's doing? Kiss Viktova!"
He looked up at the adults, clearly disappointed by their indifference.
"Our Teddy! Lupin! kissing our Viktova! our cousin! I asked Teddy what he was doing—"
- Teddy said he was here to see her off, and told me to go away. He's kissing him!" Jaime said again, as if worried that he hadn't made it clear.
"Oh, how nice it would be if they got married!" Lily said excitedly, "so that Teddy could truly be part of our family!"
"He's been coming for dinner almost four times a week," said Harry, "why don't we just invite him to stay in our house?"
"yes!" said Jaime warmly, "I don't mind sharing a room with Albus—Teddy can live in my room!"
"No," Harry said firmly, "you and Albus can't share a room unless I want the house to be destroyed." ”
"It's almost eleven o'clock, get in the car. ”
"Don't forget to tell Neville that we love him!" said Ginny as she hugged Jaime.
"Mom! I can't say love to the professor!"
"But you know Neville—"
Jaime rolled his eyes.
"I met him outside of school, but in school, he was Professor Longbottom, wasn't it? I couldn't go into the herbal medicine class and tell him about love......
He shook his head at his mother's stupidity while kicking in Albus's direction, venting his emotions.
"See you later, Albus. Keep an eye out for Thestrals. ”
"Aren't they invisible? You said they were invisible!"
But Jaime just laughed, allowed Mom to kiss him, gave Dad a hurried hug, jumped onto the train that was rapidly filling with passengers, waved his hand, and ran into the carriage to find his friend.
"Don't be afraid of Thestrals," Harry said to Albus, "they're gentle, not scary at all. Besides, you won't take a carriage into school, you'll have to take a boat. ”
Ginny kissed Albus goodbye.
"See you at Christmas. ”
"Goodbye, Albus," Harry said as his son hugged him, "and don't forget that Hagrid invited you to tea next Friday." Don't provoke Peeves. Don't duel with people - until you learn how to due. And don't let Jaime mess you off. ”
"What if I get into Slytherin?"
It was a whisper for his father alone, and Harry knew that only moments of parting would force Albus to reveal how strong and real the fear was.
Harry crouched down, making Albus's face slightly higher than his own. Of Harry's three children, only Albus inherited Lily's eyes.
"Albus. Severus," Harry whispered, audible only father and son and Ginny, as she thoughtfully pretended to wave at Rose, who had already boarded the car, "Your name contains the names of the two Headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was Slytherin's, and he's probably the bravest man I've ever met. ”
Harry had never said this to the children before, and he saw the surprise on Albus's face. But the cars of the red train began to close, and the vague figures of parents rushed forward to give the children a last-minute kiss and admonition. Albus jumped on the train, and Ginny helped him close the door. The students leaned out of the nearest window, and many of the faces on and off the bus seemed to turn to Harry.
"Why are they staring?" Albus asked, and he and Rose turned to look at the other students.
"Don't bother with this," said Ron, "it's me, I'm famous. ”
Albus, Rose, Hugo, and Lily all laughed. The train moved, and Harry followed, looking at his son's small, glowing face with excitement. Harry kept smiling and waving his hand, though it was like a small loss, as he watched his son drift away......
The last of the vapors dissipated into the autumn air, and the train turned, Harry waving goodbye and holding his hand in the air.
