A brown haired boy with hazel eyes was looking out of a scarlet train into the platform 9 and ¾ of King Cross in London saying goodbye to his family. He was not alone on the wagon: his friend August was there and his cousin Margot Mills was there too. He is waving goodbye to his godmother Ruby and her very pregnant partner Dorothy, to his grandparents Mary Margaret and David Swan and to his aunt Zelena Mills and uncle Chad that was holding the hand of their youngest son Paul and looking after his other son Sean and the brown haired boy's youngest siblings, Edward and Audrey.
The brown haired boy's name is Henry Daniel Swan-Mills, he turned eleven the 15th of August and as every young wizard or witch of his age he received the letter from Hogwarts saying that he was admitted into the school of Witchcraft and Wizarding. He was having breakfast with his mothers, siblings and grandmother Cora when their family owl, Serendipity, gave him the Hogwarts letter, everyone cheered and his mothers took him to the London library so he could pick the book he wanted.
Henry was a special boy: he has two biological mothers, Emma Swan-Mills and Regina Swan-Mills and apparently everyone knew because after half an hour on the train and while they were all in silence a second year Slytherin according to his cousin Margot , sat down beside him and started asking him questions.
-You are Henry Swan-Mills, the son of the DADA and potions professor, right?
-Yes, it's me, nice to meet you
-It is true that you are biologically them? That Professor Emma has a penis?
Henry sighed and Margot scolded her but Henry said that he didn't care: yes, I am their son, I am not going to respond to your other question and I please ask you to leave us please.
When the girl left Margot's third year friends Alice and Rick sat beside her and after talking between them for a while Margot introduced the rest of the first years to them: This is August Wood, he is the best friend of my cousin Henry Swan-Mills and she is Grace Madhatter.
Alice Jones waved her hand at them: hi, I am Alice Jones, nice to meet you
The first years started asking questions about the sorting and the school but the older children wanted them to experience everything first hand so they talked about Quidditch and when Henry told them that her mom Emma and grandfather David were Captains of Gryffindors Alice asked to tell her about her moms so Henry started doing what he loved to do, tell a story.
-I have two mothers, as I suppose everyone know. My blonde mother's name is Emma Swan-Mills, born Emma Swan and Emma Swan was born different, because she was born a girl with a masculine member, it was the second case known in the world and the fourth in the magical world. Her parents are David and Mary Margaret Swan, my grandfather and his twin brother James were wizards born in a muggle family because neither their parents or their youngest sister were magical but they were in their element once they were at Hogwarts. James was a Gryffindor and he was chaser of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and he was also Head Boy of his year. David was also a Gryffindor and he was captain and keeper of the Gryffindor's Quidditch team and he was the Charming of Hogwarts, as everyone liked to call him, because he was one of the favorites alumni of the teachers and most girls of his year were in love with him but he was with Mary Margaret since the fifth year, the only girl he truly loved because even if he had been with other girls he was not in love with them –Henry stopped when Alice and Grace started saying that everyone in the magic world knows about the love story of Mary Margaret and his Charming prince- yes, it is a great love story. Anyway, my grandmother was a Hufflepuff, Prefect and Head Girl even if her best friends were reckless and adventurous. She loved Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures and actually met Newt Scamander one time. Her father was Ministry of Magic Leopold White and her mother used to be a nurse at Saint Mungo but she died of a rare sickness a year after my grandparents got married and before my mother Emma was born. My mother Emma, like her father and uncle, was also in Gryffindor because she was brave, stubborn and chivalrous, she was without a doubt a charming that, as I said earlier, was the nickname that people at Hogwarts gave her father David Swan and like him Emma was captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team for three years and one of the best Seekers in school, starting in her second year; she was very popular among the school and was Prefect of her year. She has a relationship with her best friend Ruby Lucas, that was also a Gryffindor, in fourth and fifth year even if she had a crush on my other mother and when they broke up because Ruby felt they didn't work and they were better as best friends Emma started dating Lilith Page, a Slytherin.
-My other mother's maiden name was Regina Mills and she is two years older than Emma, she was sorted into Slytherin like every other member on her family except from her father that was a Ravenclaw. Grandmother Cora is part of the Black family, she's a cousin of Bellatrix, Narcissa , Andromeda and Sirius Black and yes, she was in Slytherin. She never played Quidditch because she believed Quidditch was for people with little intellectual knowledge and she was Prefect, Head Girl and part of the Sloughorn group. She started dating my grandfather Henry Sr. in their last year at Hogwarts and she has always believed in pure blood. She currently works at the Ministry of Magic. My grandfather Henry comes from a pure blood family, the Mills, and he was sorted into Ravenclaw because of his vast intelligence and determination, he loved to read and he followed every rule; he was not interested in playing Quidditch because he was not that good at riding a broom but he enjoyed watching the games must for my grandmother dismay. I think it was because of him that my grandmother didn't become a Death Eater but she didn't fight alongside him or my moms in the Battle of Hogwarts. Anyway, my mom Regina was Slytheryn's Prefect for two years and Head Girl of her year and she dated a muggle born Hufflepuff, Daniel Colter, for three years, but he died in mysterious ways on their last year at Hogwarts, the same year he proposed to her.
-Wow, and what about your mothers love story?
Before Henry could tell them the Prefects told them to get dressed in their robes because they would arrive in half an hour. They dressed and Henry started introducing his new friends into Emma and Regina's loves story.
-Well, I can't tell you about that now. So tell me about your story.
-Well I am Alice Jones, I am half blood, my father was a wizard and actually he knows your mother Regina because he was a third year at Hogwarts and friends of your aunt Zelena, when your mom started there. My mother was a muggle but she died when I was three in a car accident. I am a Ravenclaw and I definitely play Quidditch, that's how I met your cousin actually, I went to congratulate her for winning against Slytherin and we connected there, since that day last year we were close friends.
-I'm Rick and I am in Gryffindor like your cousin and I am the Keeper at Quidditch. We were friends since first year.
They arrived after ten more minutes of light conversations and Hagrid, the gamekeeper, asked for first years to follow him so he went into a boat with Grace, August and another boy. Henry was mesmerized by the view of the castle and was expressing that wonder to August that was also smiling and loving the sight in front of him: yeah Hen, is spectacular
After the half an hour ride on the boats Hagrid led them to the oak doors of the Great Hall where Proffesor Swan-Mills was. Henry was about to greet her as Mom when he remembered their conversation that morning: Henry you can't call any of us mom or ma while we are your teachers, ok? We must be Proffesor Swan-Mills for you, ok?
-Welcome to Hogwarts dears, I am Proffesor Regina Swan-Mills and I am Head of Slytherin. As most of you know there are four houses at Hogwarts: Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Gryffindor and you will be sorted into one of them. That would be your house, your home for as long as you are at Hogwarts, but remember that the alumni from the other houses can be your friends too and rivalry is not an option, clear?
Everyone shot a yes, Proffesor Swan-Mills and followed her inside the Great Hall and Henry's eyes were the side of golf balls. The Great Hall was absolutely beautiful and full of cheering people. An old hat was on a barstool and Henry's brunette mother positioned herself beside the hat and started calling people.
-Aston; Lucas
The boy sat on the stool and Regina put the hat on his head and after a few seconds it said: HUFFLEPUFF!
The Hufflepuff table erupted in cheers and giggles and when the boy was on the table a boy with blue hair shook his hand, Henry would share school with Teddy Lupin, the adopted son of Harry Potter and he was excited.
-Wood, August
Henry's best friend was sorted into Gryffindor and Henry cheered as loud as all the table. Emma also cheered.
Samer Aaron was sorted into Slytheryn.
-Swan-Mills, Henry Daniel!
Henry looked at the professor's table and saw his mom grinning at him and encouraging him with a nod and his brunette mother smiled at him tooo. He was nervous; not knowing in what house he would be and when he felt the hat on his head he closed his eyes and heared a voice inside his head.
"You are a Mills, a Black, a White and a Swan…very difficult boy. You work hard and are very loyal like your grandmother Mary Margaret was so you can be in Hufflepuff but there's more ambition and determination in you like your grandmother, aunt and mother and you surely are intelligent and like to read like your grandfather so you can be in Ravenclaw –Henry was now very nervous and his hands were sweating –buut as your other mother and grandfather you are brave, chivalrous, loyal and competitive like every other GRYFFINDOR!
Henry sighed relieved that he was finally sorted into a house and run to sat beside August on the Gryffindor table. August and his cousin Margot hugged him. The last Gryffindor was Nick Zimmer that sat beside Henry. He was a little mad that he was separated from his twin sister Ava that was sorted into Ravenclaw but Henry told him that they would share classes and he would see her at meals and free time.
Henry grinned and enjoyed the rest of the meal.
Ready for new adventures.
