The platform was bustling with students and their families. Amidst the hustle, Astraea Snape and Keirnan Turner stood, their eyes locked onto their twins.

Their twins, Aries and Kamaria, were stepping onto the Hogwarts Express for the first time. The parents' hearts swelled with pride and anxiety.

Astraea reached out to her children, hugging them tightly. Her eyes glistening with tears as she whispered, "Be brave, my little ones."

Keirnan, too, hugged them, ruffling Aries' hair and kissing Kamaria's forehead. "Remember, Turner twins are unstoppable," he said.

The twins giggled, a momentary relief from the nervousness. They promised to write every week and hurried towards the train.

As they climbed aboard, Kamaria glanced back at her parents, her blue eyes mirroring her mother's. She waved, mouthing a silent 'I love you'.

Aries, too, turned around, giving them a thumbs-up. His brown eyes twinkled with excitement, his father's adventurous spirit evident.

As the train pulled away, Astraea and Keirnan waved back, their hearts aching yet filled with anticipation for their children's new journey.

They stood there, hand in hand, watching the train disappear into the distance. Their babies were now young wizards.

The platform was now silent, the echoes of laughter and chatter fading. The only thing left was a profound sense of longing.

Astraea leaned against Keirnan, her eyes still fixed on the vanishing tracks. "They will do great things," she whispered.

Keirnan nodded, his gaze just as unwavering. "Yes, they are our children after all," he replied, a hint of pride in his voice.

They shared a smile, the shared pride and love for their twins bridging the silence. It was a moment of parental understanding.

Astraea then looked at Keirnan, "I can't help but think about my father," she said, her voice choked with emotion.

Keirnan squeezed her hand, understanding her feelings. "He'd be proud, Astraea. Just like we are," he reassured her.

They stood there for a while longer, reminiscing about their own time at Hogwarts. Their past blending with their children's future.

Finally, they turned around, leaving behind Platform 9 ¾, but holding onto the love and pride they felt for their twins.

As they walked away, they promised each other to be there for their children, just like they had been for each other.

Their journey back home was quiet, filled with memories and anticipation. Their hearts, though heavy, were filled with hope.

Each passing landscape seemed to echo their sentiments, from the bustling city to the calm countryside. It was a bittersweet journey.

Once home, they found comfort in their shared memories, reminiscing about their school days and their twins' childhood.

They laughed, cried, and shared stories, their bond deepening. Their children's absence was palpable, yet they found solace in each other.

As the night fell, they retired to their room, their hearts filled with a myriad of emotions. The house felt different without their twins.

Yet, they knew that the twins were beginning a journey of their own. A journey filled with magic, friendship, and self-discovery.

As they drifted off to sleep, they dreamt of their children's future. Their hearts echoed the same sentiment, 'The twins will be alright.'

And so, Astraea and Keirnan, two parents filled with love and hope, bid their twins a silent goodnight, their hearts echoing with pride.
