Hogwarts

"Now be careful won't you?" the motherly voice of Grandma Molly came, as she said goodbye to all four of her grandchildren at Kings Cross

"Mum, stop worrying!" Ginny told her mother

"Yeah Mum, it's not as if it's the last time you'll see them!" Ron agreed

"Al, Rose and James have been to Hogwarts before, you know Molly." Harry told his mother in law bemusedly. Hermione just laughed. She felt so happy about everything nowadays. Her "Muggle" parents were here to say goodbye to Rosie too. It was so nice to have them back-for them to know who she was. Ron patted Hermione's swollen belly, and kissed her softly. Fifteen years they'd been married, and there was still so much love there.

Harry meanwhile, was also thinking about the past as he gave his daughter one last hug, as she stepped on the train to Hogwarts for the very first time. It was twenty years today since what was known as "The Death of Death."- Since Harry had killed Lord Voldemort. He looked back at his own time at Hogwarts. He wished he hadn't been so determined to hate Severus Snape. Severus had saved his life, and tried to save his mothers. Dumbledore had been right all along.

"Rosie-where are you?" As the Potters and Weasleys stepped onto the train, Lily had been left, with the others scattering to meet up with their friends. The train started to move, and suddenly Lily felt as shy and afraid as a small animal. Rose had promised to stay and help Lily find someone her own age.

"Thanks a lot Rose." Lily muttered darkly, before walking quietly with her luggage to find a compartment.

Lily wandered down the small corridor of the moving train. It was exactly how Daddy had described it to her, with soft, but slightly battered seating, and spacious compartments with the luggage racks above. The only one free was right at the end of the train. Lily pulled her big suitcase into the compartment and shut the door. She pulled out her favourite book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" It had been her Dad's copy, given to him by Ron in their second year. It still had their little shouting match on the front page

"Property of Harry Potter"

"Shared by Ron Weasley because his fell apart"

"Why don't you buy a new one then?"

"Write in your own book Hermione"

"You bought all those dungbombs on Saturday. You could have bought a new book instead."

"Dungbombs RULE"

Lily laughed as she flicked through the book, with the special graffiti by Ron and Harry

""Chudley Cannons Rule!"

"Write a decent team in my book for a change Weasley!""

""XXXX known wizard Killer/ impossible to train or domesticate"

"Or anything Hagrid likes""

""…Chimera eggs are classified as Grade A Non-Tradeable Goods"

"So Hagrid'll be getting some any time now""

Then there was a picture of what looked like a Troll (her Uncle wasn't a fantastic artist) with a caption "My name's Gregory Goyle and I smell!"

People must have been able to hear Lily laughing, as a couple of minutes later a young girl with short blue hair walked into her compartment.

"Hi." Lily said nervously to the girl

"Hi. What were you laughing at?"

"Oh…my Dad gave me a book on beasts that he used to have and him and his mate have put loads of drawings in it."

"Wow! Can I have a look?"

"Erm...Sure"

Lily and the new girl spent the next ten minutes laughing at the quotes and doodles and hangman games, before a tall blond haired boy entered the carriage with another boy.

"Can we help you?" Lily asked curiously

"Can we sit in here? Everywhere else is full."

"'Course"

"Thanks."

"So what's your name then?" The blond boy asked Lily

"I'm Lily Potter, and this is-"Lily stopped"I'm sorry-I don't know your name."

"Oh, I'm Porona Tonks."

"Wow!"

"What?" Porona asked

"You're hair just changed colour!"

"Oh it does it all the time…" Porona replied waving off the comment made by the blond boy

"You're not related to Nymphadora by any chance are you?"

"She…she was my sister…but she died before I was born…twenty years ago today in fact…My Mum never got over it…she put me in a care home after divorcing my Dad. I was raised by my Granddad, after a big custody battle thing, but then he died so I had to go back."

There was silence for a couple of minutes

"So what are your names?" Lily asked the blond boy and pointed to the small boy who was with him

"I'm Scorpius Malfoy, this is Kronsoff Kliksykoshumstuffiypothingy."

"Huh?"

"He's Polish-I don't know his name, and he doesn't understand a word we say!"

Meanwhile another girl wandered through the glass door.

"Hey Lola! Everyone, this is Lola Longbottom!" Lily exclaimed to her best friend, I forgot you were starting too! I didn't see you at the station!"

"I didn't notice you either, but I saw your Mum and Dad!"

"Where's Professor Longbottom?"

"Oh, the teacher's compartment I think."

That's right. Neville had four daughters with Luna Lovegood, and three sons. In that way they were very alike to the Weasleys; a VERY big family!

Luna had an older brother Xenon, who was seventeen that day, then there was Fred who'd just started hi OWLs, and Luna. Next were Antonia and Cleopatra, twins who would come to Hogwarts in two years time, then Thestral, who was four, and Olive who was three. Luna had another baby on the way, same as Hermione, though a little further into her pregnancy. Ginny had once wondered to Harry if Luna and Neville knew what a condom was!

Kronsoff quickly became intimidated by the amount of English speakers and wandered off on his own

"Well Scorpius, I think that was the end of a very short friendship!" Lily laughed

Scorpius smiled. "Call me Scorp. It's shorter than Scorpius; my Dad only calls me Scorpius when he's angry."

"What about you're Mum?" Lily asked curiously

"She's not around any more."

Scorp suddenly went very quiet, and his eyes filled with tears. Porona and Lola tactfully went to get food from the trolley, while Lily sat next to Scorp and put her arm round him.

"I'm sorry-that was tactless of me." Lily felt ashamed

"No, don't worry, I shouldn't be so upset, it was years ago."

"But still, I don't know what I'd do without my Mum." Lily replied

Scorp smiled weakly

"I like you Lily." He said, his voice wavering slightly

"I like you too Scorp. Friends?"

Lily held out her hand for him to shake

"Sure thing."

Scorp shook her hand

So can anyone else sense some romantic tension there? Cos I can!!!
