A/N Hi, guys. It's my first story. I'm Bulgarian and English is not my native language, but I've been studying it and I've read a lot of fan fictions here. I've probably made a lot of mistakes in the text, so please don't be too harsh at least this time. If you don't understand something, just ask, I'll be happy to answer you. Enjoy.

Row, your epilogue sucks!

Chapter 1

A large sprit of smoke was shot in the air by the big red locomotive. It was 10:50, September the 1st. Platform 9 and ¾ was as every year on this day full of long cloaked wizards and witches sending their children, brothers and sisters to Hogwarts, school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The clamour spread away above all eager children and their proud-but-sad parents.

It was a gorgeous day. Sun was shining; wind was playfully blowing, birds singing, kids laughing. You'd certainly smile on the perfect happiness emanated by the crowd.

You would noticed an anxious boy with stricken aback brown hair running towards some girl who seemed a couple years older. Unlike him she looked perfectly calm and staid, a sarcastic even cold look in her eyes. The boy stopped and pulled down the sleeve of her Hogwarts uniform which she had already put on.

"We're going, Alex, we're going! We'll see Hogwarts! I can't believe it!" he bubbled almost jumping from joy.

"No, you'll see it, I've already been there. It's my third year as you know" the girl cocked her head shaking a little her white blond curls.

"C'mon, Alex, I know you're exited too. It's just so great!" his gray eyes glowing.

"Calm down, Rax, you're embarrassing me! Merlin, I'm so much more matured!" she hissed.

"But… I thought…" he pouted his lips.

"You can think? I doubt it. If the brain meant gold, you would be as poor as a mouse" the girl's eyes darkened to the color of baked coffee.

"Oh, give your brother a brake, Alexandra" they heard their mother's voice.

"And please, stop stealing my lines" her father added.

"But, mom, should I look after him the whole time?" Alexandra whined.

"Oh, dear, you're so much more matured, you shouldn't complain" the mother smiled sarcastically.

"Mom!" the girl was about to whine again when her look changed to perfectly calm again "Stop stealing my lines"

"You got your father's guts, who'd know!" the older woman laughed.

"Rax, we got your watch back. You have forgotten it in the Leaky Cauldron." The man handed him an ancient silver watch.

"Dad, do you think I'm going to be in Slitherin?" the boy looked a bit terrified.

"Son, all my family, including me, has been in Slitherin" the father sighed "And as you know we are a great ancient…"

"…Aristocratic kin, I know" the boy finished, but seemed rather ashamed from the fact.

"Abraxas, listen" the mother said, kneeling to her son's level "You're named on one of the greatest members of the Malfoy family; you should wear it with proud. Many great wizards had been Slitherins"

"And many terrible ones" the boy didn't notice the flinch of his father's face.

"Maybe the boldest headmaster of Hogwarts and the bravest man that I knew was a Slitherin" the mother smiled softly, putting a brown curl behind her ear.

"Really?" Rax' eyes widened with curiosity "Who?"

"Severus Snape" she caressed the boy's hair "And he was also your father's godfather"

'Why haven't you told me, Dad?"

"For Merlin's sake, what is the big deal!" shouted the sister "Mom was a Gryffindor, Dad was a Slitherin, I'm in Ravenclaw, so you have to be in Hafflepaff. So we will have the full set!"

"Alex is damned right" the father said and almost avoiding his wife's "Don't screw in front of the children" continued "I used to care a lot about that house stuff, then your mother stormed in my life and evaporated the mind out of me. Ask me now, I'm not sorry a little tiny bit"

"If you, guys, are finished with the drama speeches, we should go, because the train's leaving in two minutes" Alex noted coldly.

"Ok, go, why am I still seeing you" the father called out playfully.

"C'mon, Rax, and try to act like human, just this once" the blonde girl was already off with elegant dignified walk.

"Your hair is terribly bushy" his brother shouted running after her "And your teeth are big! And…"

"Your hair looks slimy this way"

"That's exactly what I wanted to tell you in our first year" the wife mocked.

"Shut up, Granger, it is aristocratic" he cut her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"Hi, aunt Hermione, uncle Draco" a redhead girl on their daughter's age came bouncing, her protruded eyes sparkling "Have you seen Alex? I was looking for her."

"Considering to the fact she's our daughter and…" the man started.

"Shut up, Malfoy." Hermione hit him on the shoulder "Yes, Kate dear, she mounted in the train"

"Thank you" She said distractedly and bounced away.

Draco and Hermione Malfoy turned away to go. It was the first time they were going home just the two of them. They were probably going to miss the kid spirit in the big Malfoy Manor. On the way out they saw two women hugging and speaking to each other. They recognized their friends Luna and Ginny Lovegood who waved them.

"Hey" said Hermione "We saw Kate, she's probably on the train"

"Yeah, she said she was going to look for Alex" Ginny smiled.

"You're gonna miss it, aren't you?" Luna spoke suddenly.

"What?" Draco couldn't help but grimaced. He hadn't got used to Luna's sudden periods of frankness.

"The kid presence" the blonde woman explained calmly "We did too, when Kate was a first year. You can speak to Harry and Cho, their youngest son Albus-Severus is a first year too"

"I don't think speaking to Potter would be solution to any problems" Draco mumbled.

"We will, thanks Luna." Hermione snapped at her husband "I talk to him yesterday, we were thinking about a dinner" she turned to Ginny now "You and Luna, Draco and me, him and Cho and of course, Ron and Lavender, I heard they have a first-year too"

"It's a great idea" Ginny smiled and turned to Luna "Don't you think, honey?"

"I'm surprised, Hermione, how well you get along with Lavender after all" Lune said wondering.

"She has a not-so-bad husband, so there's nothing and none she'd be jalousie of" Draco concluded with firm tone.

"Well, just as Ginny get along with Cho" Hermione chuckled.

"I get it now" Luna said fast and kissed Ginny…

WAIT! PAUSE! If the sweet HP fan isn't already unconscious, he/she is probably wondering what the hell's going on and whose twisted mind writes a story from the end. Well let's get it started.

It all began two years after the war, a bright shiny morning…
