GAH! I'm so sorry! It's been like half a year since I updated this! I meant to do it but then school started (look at me, already on the Excuse Train). I've felt super guilty about it.

I hope you enjoy the epilogue. Don't worry, I love these characters too, so I'm not abandoning them. Why don't you hit that "Follow Author" button and see what I have planned for them? (pretty please with a cherry on top?)

Disclaimer: I don't own.

"Come oonn!" First Year Selene dragged her father by the arm, her mother behind them chuckling. "We'll be late!"

Remus raised an eyebrow and commented sagely. "Ah yes. Being late. The annual problem, even if you're not even getting on the train."

Young James ran by, yelling over his shoulder, "Come on 'Lene! Let's go!"

Selene dropped her father's arm, making him stumble with the sudden loss of weight. The weight was quickly replaced with Dora's hand in his. She sighed as she watched her daughter run ahead with her best friend. "She's so big."

Remus smiled fondly. "It seems like she was born just yesterday and now she's going into her first year. I'm going to miss that kid around the house."

"You're one to talk. You'll get to see her everyday. I only get to see her on breaks."

"I'll look after her, and so will Teddy."

"I know you will. Speaking of the devil. Where is our third year child?"

Teddy came running back at that moment. "Man, you guys are slow! Hurry up!"

Remus raised an eyebrow. "It's not like we'll be late. If we were late, I would be late to work. That's not going to happen."

Harry grinned behind them. "Plus, Moony wouldn't miss the opportunity to be as early as possible and not be able to set up his annual prank."

Ginny chuckled. "Oh, no. Whatever shall we do if we don't have the great annual prank!"

Remus blushed slightly. "Shut up. It wouldn't be that bad. I bet McGonagall would be happy if I was late."

Tonks laughed. "No the real reason is that he has a special meeting with her. It's top secret deputy headmaster stuff."

He groaned. "I love teaching, but I don't understand how she does it. I can now understand why Filius retired from the post."

"Yeah, why did he do that?" Ginny asked.

"He was tired of it. I think he wanted to go back to just teaching. None of the other teachers wanted it, so she offered it to me. She did offer to take away my Head of Gryffindor responsibilities, but I would miss being the Head."

"So, being the overachiever that he is, he decided to take on both," Tonks summarized. "Which was stupid."

"No it wasn't!" he defended himself. "I like it! Because I am, as you said, an overachiever."

Harry chuckled and began to point things out to little Al who was in his arms.

They made it to the platform and Remus helped load the trunks onto the train. He leaned a bit on his cane and pulled his wand from his pocket.

"Need some help there, old man?"

He groaned. "Don't remind me. And no, I don't need help. It's not like I'll load these on by hand, although I could. Moon week is coming up and I could probably pick you up."

Harry chuckled as Remus Levitated the trunks onto the train.

"Okay, old man. I'd like to see you try."

Remus groaned. "Shut up Prongslet."

Harry grinned as they walked back to the others. "Never."

Tonks grinned. "Ooh! Is it How Long Will It Take For Remus To Hex Us Day? If so, I want in."

Remus groaned. "No, it is not How Long Will It Take For Remus To Hex Us Day. Plus, I have to work, so I wouldn't be around to hex you even if I wanted to."

"Speaking of work," Ginny started. "Shouldn't you two be doing some sort of Auror stuff?"

Tonks waved a hand dismissively. "Nah. Work is overrated."

The parents watched and waved as the train started and soon disappeared.
"You'll keep an eye on them, won't you Remus?" Ginny asked.

He grinned. "Always."

Tonks leaned up to kiss her husband. "See you later. I'll start the clock now."

He smiled. "Let's see if I can last the whole meal this time."

She chuckled. "Good luck. I'm placing bets that you won't."

He clutched his chest, wounded, but there was a sparkle in his eyes. "I'm offended. I'm going to last the whole meal just to spite you."
Remus grinned as she rolled her eyes, gave her a quick kiss, and turned. He walked away, spinning his cane a little, and headed towards the future.

Well, there you have it. What a wild ride! Don't forget to follow me for future Remus/Tonks Aftermath-verse stories!

I hope you enjoyed,
