We were standing on the platform of 9 3/4 ready to send Scorpius off to his first year at Hogwarts at the age of 11.

"Have fun my boy", Draco said as he ruffled Scorpius' hair, and I could tell he was trying to hold back his tears - he'll miss having his little quidditch buddy.

"We'll miss you so much sweetie", I said, attempting to give him a kiss on the cheek but he quickly dodged, so that he wouldn't get embarrassed in front of his new classmates.

"Yeah okay", he spoke, looking around to check nobody saw his mother trying to kiss him on the cheek, and I could hear Draco chuckle at his son.

"Bye!" he waved as soon as he spotted one of his friends before running off over to them.

"Wow", I laughed at how easily he found it to say goodbye, whereas here I was trying my best not to cry.

"It's okay, my love. It's just how boys are at that age", Draco reassured, placing his arm around my hip as we watched the train depart from the station.

"Three down, two to go", I said as we started making our way back home.

Indie is now 20 years old and has taken up a job at St Mungo's hospital and is working her way up to become a surgeon - her days helping Madam Pomfrey in the infirmary whilst Draco and I were still in school must've rubbed off on her. Whilst attending Hogwarts, she was placed in Ravenclaw, like her mother, much to Draco's dismay, and was one of the best students in her year.

Ashton is 18 and has recently began his new career in the modelling industry after graduating from Hogwarts a few months ago - and he was a Slytherin just like his father. School work has never been his best attribute and from a young age he found his passion of being in front of the camera, with the help of Narcissa, and decided that that's what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.

After having Ashton, we were very reluctant to have another child, despite wanting to have a big family, because of what happened during his birth, and we were anxious that it would happen again. However, after six years, we made the decision to have another child and that is when we fell pregnant with our third child.

Scorpius is 11 and by far the most energetic of our children. He always has to be moving around and absolutely loves sport. Ever since we bought him his first broom, he has absolutely adored quidditch and always plays with Draco in our garden (he usually wins against his father and Draco always tells me he let him, but I really know it's because he's getting a little old now, even though he's only 37).

Cairo is 8 years old and is definitely the smartest in our family. He learnt everything so quickly when he was a baby and we were having full, proper conversations with him at only 16 months. He is always correcting Draco and I's grammar and has already memorised so many spells, even though he doesn't have a wand yet. In 3 years time, when he attends Hogwarts, he is 100% going to be a Ravenclaw.

Esmé is our youngest, she is 5 years old and she is almost an exact replica of what Indie looked like when she was her age. She is a very crazy child (in a good way, obviously), and is always running around and being funny. She loves to have a joke around and is always laughing, and Blaise has even taught her a few little pranks, which isn't the best for me and Draco, but it keeps her entertained so as long as she's happy, we're happy.

After Draco and I got married, we moved out of my parents house and got our own place in the countryside in Scotland where we have been ever since, and the kids absolutely love it. Two years ago, we made the best decision to adopt a Bernese Mountain Dog and we named her Nala, all of the kids adore her along with Draco and I.

"We've done well", Draco said, bringing me out of my thoughts, as he realised what I was thinking about.

"We really have", I smiled before giving him a kiss.
