A/N: Once again thank you for the reviews. This is my very first full on story, please be patient with updates and please make sure to review.

Platform 9¾ was all hustle and bustle as a new school year had finally arrived. The sounds of kids and their parents could be heard all throughout the station. Summer vacation had officially ended and the time to return to Hogwarts had finally arrived. Scorpius Malfoy walked through the platform with his father Draco Malfoy. It had been said many times that Scorpius was a spitting image of Draco when he was his age. This time last year Scorpius was mourning over the loss of his Mother, but today was different. He walked through the platform with slightly more confidence and a much different outlook. Scorpius was happy to return to school and hang out once again with his best friend Albus Potter, but he wasn't just happy to be seeing Albus again, because ever since the time turner incident he had gained 4 new friends in the form of Rose Weasley, Hugo Weasley, James Potter, and Lily Potter. After his visit to the burrow he also looked forward to getting to know Molly, Lucy, Roxanne, Fred and Louis Weasley. Scorpius, Albus and Rose were all going into their 4th year and Hugo and Lily were going into their 2nd. Molly, Fred, and James were attending their 6th year while Roxanne was attending her 5th year, with Louis and Lucy attending there 3rd year.

Scorpius continued to talk with his father as they finally came to a stop on the platform.

"I'm glad you had a good time this summer, son." Draco said.

"It was really great dad, I enjoyed my time at the burrow, even though I had that little incident." Scorpius said sheepishly. His father sighed, feeling terrible for Scorpius having to deal with prejudice simply because of what he did in the past. What made it worse was the fact that every single Weasley and Potter had to see the words that had been carved on Scorpius's back. 'Pureblood Scum' Draco remembered the words. It reminded him of the time his aunt had carved mud-blood on to Hermione's arm. Draco looked on into the crowd and noticed the all too familiar flock of red entering the platform, the Weasley clan seemed to be growing so huge each generation that it would one day pass off as its own house. He noticed Hermione and Ron talking to two other kids whom he assumed were there children. He noticed other kids and teens standing around talking with one another but he was unfamiliar with them.

"Hey dad, I see Rose, Hugo and Mrs. Weasley, I'm going to go say hi to them." Scorpius stated before turning to look at his father. "You should come to."

Draco stiffened at this, it's not that he didn't want to go say hi, he just didn't feel like he'd be welcomed too much. Draco changed a lot after the death of his wife and even more after the time turner incident, while he ended up seeing Harry Potter more as a friend, the rest of the extended family was kept at an arm's length. He watched as his son held a hopeful expression, he wondered what had occurred during the school year and summer that brought Scorpius closer to the wizarding family that stood before him. Finally caving in, Draco signaled for his son to lead the way over the wall of red hair. Hugo was the first to notice Scorpius and immediately made his presence known.

"Look Rosie its Scor." Hugo called out.

Rose, Hermione and Ron looked up to watch the 2-blonde's approaching them. A smile grew on Rose's face and Hermione noticed this. She had always suspected that Scorpius had a crush on Rose by the way he would look at her, and now it seemed that Rose might be feeling the same way. Ron on the other hand was not too pleased with Draco approaching them. Ron had eased up when it came to Scorpius after what happened at the burrow, but he still couldn't stand the sight of Draco.

"Why's that ferret coming to us?" Ron asked.

"Daddy." Rose and Hugo said in unison.

"Ron!" Hermione Scolded.

Draco however had managed to catch Ron's comment. Instead of anger, Draco for the first time felt lonely. Normally Weasley's comments only infuriated him, but this time he felt something different. It bothered him to still be referred to as the ferret by Ron. It wasn't fair, Draco was trying his best to change and to be a better person, especially now that he was a single father. Deciding not to cause a scene for his son's sake, Draco merely pushed his feelings behind him.

"Believe it or not Weasley, this ferret is only here because my son wanted me to say hi to you all." Draco responded. Hermione gave Ron one of her signature death glares again, while she wasn't 'friends' with Draco, she still wanted to remain civil for her children and Scorpius.

"Hello Draco, it's good to see you." Hermione said while holding her arm out to him.

Draco hesitated for a bit before shaking it. "Likewise, Hermione."

Hermione then turned to Scorpius and smiled at him. "Hello Scorpius, how was the rest of you summer."

"It was good Mrs. Weasley, I wrote a bit to Al and Rose, and I had a fun time visiting the Burrow." Scorpius said, while being eyed by Draco.

Hermione ruffled Scorpius's hair and pulled him into a one-armed hug. "Well I'm glad it went well for you, remember you are welcomed to all of our family get togethers at the Burrow anytime."

"I wouldn't want to do anything else." Scorpius answered while chuckling. Draco watched the interaction between his son and Hermione. He wondered what had occurred while he was gone that brought the 2 so close to each other. Draco knew the look Hermione had on her eyes, it was the same one Astoria would have when she would look at Scorpius. It was a look that only a mother would give to her children when speaking to them, one of love and care. 'A Weasley caring for a Malfoy' he thought to himself.

"So, Scorpius are you ready for out 4th year?" Rose asked him. The adults noticed a blush that grew on his face as Rose addressed him. He was still getting used to the fact that Rose would talk to him now and that she was his friend.

"I sure hope so, I hear we're getting a new charms professor this year, they say she's supposed to be one of the best charms professor's Hogwarts has had in a long time." Scorpius replied.

"She's also going to be the new head of Slytherin house." Albus Potter stated as he walked toward the 2 families with the rest of the Potters right behind him.

"Hey Al, how was the rest of your summer?" Scorpius asked.

"It was fairly alright, aside from James making a fake wand that looked like mine and then breaking in half while making me think it was my wand, everything went well." Albus stated while glaring toward James. His brother would get under his skin sometimes.

"Come on Al, it was just a harmless prank." James said patting his back.

"Al was on the verge of crying." Lily said as a matter of fact.

"Honestly James you're so immature sometimes." Rose said.

"I was not going to cry!" Albus protested.

Ginny stepped in. "James, please just ease up on your pranks, you're going into your 6th year for Merlin's sake." Ginny looked up and noticed a much taller version of Scorpius standing near them. Draco Malfoy had never come this close to them while on the platform, he would normally be standing by himself somewhere off to the side of the platform.

"Hello Draco, how was your business trip?" Ginny asked

"It went well Ginny, thank you for keeping an eye on Scor for me while I was away." Draco replied.

"It wasn't a problem Draco, thank Hermione to though, she checked up on him a couple times when I wasn't able to." Ginny said looking toward Hermione.

Draco looked at Hermione and wondered if maybe that's why Scorpius seems so fond of her. He might have grown accustomed to her checking in on him. Ever since Scorpius's mother died, he has been missing something in his life, something Draco couldn't ever replace. The love of a mother. It was only a theory, but it was possible that Scorpius was trying to fill in that gap through the Weasley.

"Thank you Weas- err Hermione." Draco said.

Hermione smiled warmly. "It wasn't a problem Draco, Scorpius was no trouble at all."

"Mr. Malfoy I haven't properly introduced myself, but I'm Rose Weasley." Rose said catching Draco off guard. Even Ron looked stunned that she had introduced herself to the ferret.

Draco smiled at how outgoing the young girl was. She was almost the spitting image of her mother but had red hair like her father. "It's nice to meet you Rose, I've heard quite a bit about you this summer, Scorpius talks about you all the time." He stated.

Scorpius blushed. "DAD!"

"You talk about my daughter?" Ron asked, earning a smack upside the head from Hermione. "Not that there's anything wrong with that of course." He finished off.

"Well I'm introducing myself to you because, I'm about to do something that is long overdue." She stated as she began to fidget.

"I want to do this with my family watching, because I feel it's important to humble myself." She said as everyone turned their full attention to her.

She then turned to Scorpius. "I want to apologize Scorpius, when I first started Hogwarts, I wanted nothing to do with you. I had my own personal prejudices and I refused to even get to know you simply because your last name was Malfoy."

Everyone looked at Rose in shock. Apologizing was something Rose had a hard time doing, being Ron's daughter and all. For her to do it in front of her family was something out of the ordinary to say the least.

She continued. "You always tried to be friendly to me, you were nothing but a sweet guy, and all I did was treat you like dirt." Rose then turned to Draco. "I assumed the worst of your family Mr. Malfoy and the worst of your son, but now I realize what I did was no better than any other blood racist, so I'm sorry, Scorpius I'm sorry if I ever did anything to hurt you, and for treating you like dirt, and Mr. Malfoy I'm sorry for assuming the worst about your family, I hope you guys can forgive me." She finished with a pained expression on her.

Scorpius smiled at her in reassurance. "I forgave you a long time ago already Rose, I never thought you were a bad person, that's why no matter how bad you would treat me I always tried to be nice." Rose smiled at this and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you." She said as Scorpius blushed once again. Ron glared at the two, if looks could kill then Scorpius would be dead.

Draco then spoke up. "We all make mistakes Rose, you're still young, and you humbled yourself in front of all of us just to apologize, if that doesn't show the bravery of a true Gryffindor then I don't know what does." Rose smiled at Draco understanding this was his way of accepting her apology.

"Aww this is such a cute moment, GROUP HUG!" Lily screamed as she squeezed both Rose and Scorpius, Hugo and Albus Joined her while James merely stood back laughing.

"Oh, come on you guys get so sappy so quick." He said as the train began blowing its horn signaling it was almost time to depart.

"You guys better get going, you don't want to miss the train." Harry said as he and Ginny Hugged their kids one more time.

She then turned to hug Scorpius. "Stay out of trouble young man, remember what I told you about James."

"I will Mrs. Potter." Scorpius Smirked

"Have a good time at school Scorpius." Harry said, patting the boy's back

"Thanks Mr. Potter, don't tire yourself with catching bad wizards." He replied.

Hermione and Ron hugged there two kids next before Hermione turned to Scorpius and gave him a hug as well. "Have fun sweetheart, and remember I expect an owl from you as well alright?"

"Yes Mrs. Weasley, I'll remember, bye Mr. Weasley." Scorpius said, but Ron simply nodded in acknowledgement.

Draco looked on at how the Potter's and Weasley's treated his son. Scorpius blended in as a part of their family with Hermione and even Ginny embracing the boy with their motherly tenderness and wishing him a good year. Scorpius then looked Towards his father as Draco stepped forward to hug his son.

"Owl me whenever you can alright? I'll miss you, make sure you stay out of trouble, I don't want to hear that you nearly burned down the school with fireworks." Draco said to his son.

"Come on dad that was James and besides, Sally fixed everything up, but alright don't worry I'll remember to write, I'll miss you to dad." Scorpius hugged his father back before turning towards the Hogwarts express and boarding it with the others.

Harry cleared his throat. "So, Draco, you know who the new Charms professor is going to be right?"

Draco stiffened at this as he remembered reading the letter. "Yes, which would be fine except for the fact that she'll also be the head of Slytherin house."

"Come on you two, for all you know she changed, I don't think McGonagall wouldn't have hired her if she hadn't" Ginny added.

Hermione nodded in agreement. "If there's something we learned today is that people can change, courtesy of my lovely daughter."

"I'm going to agree with Malfoy and Harry on this one, I'm not too happy with the thought of her teaching our kids." Ron said.

Hermione was about to speak when she turned her attention to the train. The rest of the adults turned to see what she was looking at. Scorpius, Albus, Rose, Hugo, Lily and James were all crammed into one compartment. Although adults could not hear what they were saying, the facial expressions said it all. They were smiling and laughing with each other. Draco, Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron looked on thinking the exact same thing. The Weasley/Potter clan, had now become the Weasley/Potter/Malfoy clan.

Standing far off in the distance, unbeknownst to everyone. A dark cloaked figure looked on as the Hogwarts Express departed from the platform.
