11 YEARS LATER

Standing on the platform 11 and 3/4 of Kings Cross Station stood the 4 membered family of Weasleys. Today was a day that two had been looking forward to and two had been dreading ever since the letters arrived in late April of that year. 

September 1st meant a lot of things, it meant the starting of a new adventure for the young twins who wanted nothing more than to go off and learn magic in the place which had been teaching their families for generations. Fred and Roxanne had been up since the early hours of the morning, buzzing around the London house bouncing from place to place as they got together the final things they needed. 

Fred had been buzzing about it for many days now. He had grown into a preteen with a tan complexion and a dark auburn coloured hair. His eyes were the same deep shade of brown as his father, and his namesake. And he managed to be exactly as she imagined his namesake and father had been like when they were younger. Fred was a natural joker, but he had a heart as big as gold. He loved to help out around both the house and the shop. And Iris could see him growing into a marvellous young man. But for now, he was her 11-year-old son, and he had woken both his parents and his twin sister up at 5am that morning to get ready so they were not going to be late. 

Roxanne, the younger twin, was very much different to her older brother. She was more reserved, a little on the shy and quieter side. But she lit up when the twins were together. She was very much a daddy's girl and often spent a lot of her free time reading in the back of the shop watched from afar by her father. Roxanne was the one who got on less with the rest of her cousins the sheer number of them overwhelming her every time she went to the Weasley side of the family for an event. She held skin in the same tone as her brother, but her hair was in the dark curls of which Iris sported herself. 

They were both everything Iris could have ever wanted. She needed nothing more in life than the family she currently had. And therefore, considering the twins were both excited to be attending the magical school, she too faked that she was excited for them to go. She knew that Hogwarts held a lot of her happiest memories, but it also held a lot of her worst memories. She also knew this was the same for George. And therefore, as they stood as a family of four on the station Iris spoke lowly to Roxanne easing the anxiety she could clearly see on the girl's face. She smoothed her hair as they waited for the twins to be ready to board. 

"I love you both more than anything." Iris spoke as the pair boarded the train waiting for them to appear from one of the windows as they took a seat. It took not long for Iris to spot her children as they appeared at the window just a few feet down from where there parents stood. 

"I'll send you a toilet seat." Fred II called from the window as the train began to move and Iris turned to look at her husband. She used her hand to hit him on the shoulder.

"If I get a toilet seat in the post I am going to kill you." She hissed at him only to get a laugh in response.

"McGonagall runs that place tighter than the military nothings getting in and no toilet seats are getting out." George laughed as he spoke and the pair paused for a minute on the platform. 

"They'll be safe right?" Iris questioned and George grimaced as he too worried about the safety of their children. 

"If not we'll burn the whole school down."
