Vienna - Billy Joel

slow down you crazy child, you're so ambitious for a juvenile.

"Vienna! Vienna, slow down!" Draco exclaimed, exasperated. "You'll get there soon enough darling, no need to run!"

September 1st. Vienna Malfoy's first day at Hogwarts. The 11 year old girl ran towards the brick wall that would soon connect her to the Wizarding World at Kings Cross. Her shiny curls bounced, as she ran faster, and disappeared into the red bricks. Draco winced, and quickly looked around to see if any muggles had noticed. "Oh Draco would you calm down she is smart enough to go to Canada on her own, she doesn't need your help" Hermione said with a small laugh. The laugh that still made Draco's heart melt. They made their way to the red train they had once rode every September 1st. Hermione strted to search for a black head of hair, and Draco a curly set of blond locks.

"Dad, I was wondering, I mean.. do you think.. that I might.. get into Hufflepuff?" Vienna said looking up with wide eyes to her father.

"Vienna, Hufflepuff is not the house for you, I can assure you of that." Draco said, shaking his head and laughing. "You're a crazy child, you know that Vienna? And you're quite lucky that your mother and me were smartest in our year. You'll be the smartest one there, probably end up in Ravenclaw." He explained, while getting her owl to be quiet. "I want to be in Gryffindor or Slytherin!" she said, her temper becoming very apparent. "You're very ambitious Vienna, the sorting hat will see it, you'll get into the house that truly suits you, and you'll be proud, don't worry".

At that moment the train made a signal, saying it was time to board the train, and Hermione appeared at Draco and Vienna's side. "Goodbye my love, make sure you write often!" Hermione said, placing a kiss on her head, a tear escaping her eye. "Bye mum, I'll make sure I write everyday. I love you too" Draco stepped forward and took Vienna by the shoulders. "I want you to focus on your studies and absolutely no boys" Draco said, making a stern face "I love you, you'll do great" With that Vienna boarded the train and waved goodbybe from her window and the Hogwarts Express was off.

Draco and Hermione made their way back to their London flat, driving in silence.

"I miss her already" Hermione said, playing with the hem of her shirt "our little girl is already growing up and going to Hogwarts" she said with a sigh.
"It'll be okay love, we do still have 2 other kids at home, if you had forgetten" he said, looking at her and winking. She let out a laugh and wiped away her tears. "I guess you're right. But I think I want another.." she quickly said, looking out the window longingly. Draco laughed, nodding in agreement silently. He too wanted another child.. it would be 4 after the next. And he couldn't be more happy at that fact.

Dear Mum and Dad,

Yesterday was my first day at Hogwarts, I'm laying in bed right now writing this, I've already finished my home work so don't worry.

We got to school yesterday and had to ride the boats across the lake. I love Hagrid, and he recognized me instantly and he said "Child, you have the hair of a Granger and the eyes of a Malfoy" I think his dialect has improved since you both went here, he doesn't sound a lot like how dad had explained. Anyways, I rode on the boats with Albus, because he was the only person I knew, and he was quite scared.. James has been scaring him too much. So we rode the boats and finally arrived at the school. It is very beautiful. And as we went into the Great Hall I noticed the ceiling right away. It's amazing! I could have stared at it all day if we didn't have to been sorted straight away. Well I was very nervoud at this point, let me tell you. I finally got called (Albus is in Gryffindor by the way!) and I went up there and sat on that stool. The Sorting Hat was placed on my head, and I got really nervous then.. he started speaking such gibberish and all of a sudden yelled ... SLYTHERIN!

I'm very happy you know. Anyways I'm very tired! Goodnight Mum and Dad, I'll write soon!

Love,

Vienna Malfoy.

"I told you she'd be a Slytherin" Draco said laughing.
