Nineteen Years and then...

 Nineteen years after the war, the platform is filled with children, but it's the grownups who are still learning.Healer Hermione Granger and Auror Harry Potter who have been each other's constant support for more than 20 years through divorces, death, and other loss. Now, they face a new challenge as Hermione and Healer Theo Nott find their research, and more importantly, the life of the little boy that Theo and his husband, Auror Draco Malfoy, are bringing into the world with the aid of a brave muggle-born surrogate, in danger.The whole crew is here. Ron, Ginny, the kids, the friends... They've all been doing their best for 19 years with grace, grief, and no shortage of messiness. Healing takes longer than anyone expected and love often grows in unexpected places.I write this first fanfic with deep love for all of these characters and the belief that endings are rarely final—and beginnings don’t always announce themselves. Thank you for reading.

This story picks up seconds after the Deathly Hallows epilogue. I’ve imagined that the intervening 19 years between the beginning of this story and the end of the Battle of Hogwarts has been one where Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny have all experienced loss and failure - as well as the extraordinary success of working through pain with each other.
