"Mira, be good now. And please don't listen to everything your brothers tell you." Lily Malfoy said bending down slightly so she was at her daughter's level. Mira would be starting her first year at Hogwarts. The young girl straightened her robes, which she couldn't wait to get into, and nodded her head.
"Trust me mom, I've learned that most of the things that come out of their mouths are lies." Lily smiled and ran a hand through Mira's Weasley red hair. The mother straightened up, looking for her other children to say goodbye. The smoke cleared and she found one. A short boy with black hair and horn-rimmed glasses was heading towards the two girls.
"There you are, Fornax. Where're your brothers?" Lily said as she bestowed one last hug on the soon to be second year.
"Don't know, said somethin' about trying a new prank out they got from Uncle George."
"Looks like they haven't missed a beat, huh?" Said a familiar voice. Scorpius Malfoy came behind Lily, rolling a trolley along with Mira's trunk on it. Both children made sounds of disgust as Scorpius placed a kiss on his wife's cheek.
"Right-o dad." Leo Malfoy stated as he hopped off the train. His identical twin, Lynx, came right after him. Leo ran a hand through his sleek blonde hair. The two were about to start their fourth year.
"You two. Please try not to cause too much trouble. I really don't feel like getting a letter every week."
"Alright, we'll make it every other then." Lynx said. They both grinned, their green eyes matching the color of the snake on their robes.
The train sounded, and Leo and Lynx grabbed their sister's trunk and lifted it onto the train, Fornax right behind them. Lily held her daughter back and whispered, "You've definitely got the Gryffindor look, just like Fornax." Mira grinned and jumped onto the train after her brothers.
As the couple was waving and saying their last goodbyes to their children, Scorpius whispered in Lily's ear, "Trying to influence our daughter's house now?" Lily laughed and nudged him playfully in the ribs. The train began pulling away, and Scorpius continued whispering, "The house is empty now, for a whole three and a half months."
"Oh the possibilities."
