Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Wow, that was really obvious, wasn't it? (I also sort of borrowed the name Allegra from the Blue Bloods series, which I don't own either)

A/N: This takes place… um… say, 20 years after "The Golden Trio" graduated. It's about their kids.

I've read a lot of stories like this, and I know they can get confusing, so I'm just gonna make a list of the kids, and who their parents are.

Alli Malfoy

- Draco and Hermione Malfoy

Jessie Malfoy

James Potter- Harry and Ginny Potter

Preston Weasley- Ron and Lavender Weasley

I will continue the list for the next few chapters, until everyone gets used to the characters. If any other names come up, they too will be added to the list!

Each chapter will be through a different kid's POV. This one is Alli's. I'll announce whose POV I'll do before each chapter.


Allegra Malfoy, Alli for short, looked around Kings Cross Station with wide eyes. There were so many Muggles- and all in one place!

Alli was eleven, and about to start her first year at Hogwarts. She had heard a lot about it from Jessica, Jessie, her sister who was a fourth year, and her parents. She was finally going herself, and she could hardly wait! Every other year, for the past four years, she had stayed behind with the Malfoy housekeeper, Esther, on this momentous occasion.

"Alli! Stay close, please. I don't need you getting lost!" came the voice of Alli's mother, Hermione Malfoy.

Alli stopped staring and pushed her cart faster to keep up with her mother.

"All clear? Okay, Jessie, you go first," said Draco Malfoy, Alli's father, once the four had reached the barrier between platforms nine and ten.

Alli watched curiously as Jessie ran head on into the platform- and disappeared. Alli couldn't wait to try.

"Wait for my signal, Alli," said Draco, holding her back.

Just as Alli was about to run, she head squeals of excitement.

She turned around to see her mother embracing a woman with vividly red hair. Alli knew it was Ginny Potter, an old friend. Right behind her was the famous Harry Potter, and their son James.

Alli didn't wait for the reunion to take place- she gave a questioning look to her father- who responded with a nod- and Alli too ran into the platform.

"There you are!" Jessie ran up to her sister.

"What? The Potters arrived- Mum and Dad got distracted."

"Oh. Well, hurry. I've saved you a seat."

Alli stared at the huge red train. How on earth could so many kids fit on this?

"Come on!" Jessie urged.

Alli followed her sister onto the train, and into their compartment. Jessie helped her put up her luggage, then left to see some of her friends.

Alli noticed someone else on the train, looking a little scared.

"Who're you?" she asked kindly.

"Preston. Preston Weasley."

Preston had brown hair, but he was not without the trademark freckles of the Weasley family.

"Your first time too?" she asked, sitting down next to him.

He nodded.

"What are you so scared about? I can't wait to get there!"

"Who're you anyways?"

"Alli Malfoy."

He snorted. "You're a Malfoy?" he asked.

"I'm not necessarily going to Slytherin." Alli retorted. "My mother was a Gryffindor. Maybe you've heard of her- Hermione Malfoy."

He nodded again. He certainly wasn't much of a talker.

"Well, maybe there's a chance for you then."

"You still haven't answered my question," she persisted. "Why are you so scared?"

"My uncles said that it's a huge place, you get lost really easily, the teachers are mean, and all the other years have it in for you."

Alli couldn't help but laugh. Her mother had told her all about the Weasley twins. "Do you really believe them? What did your parents tell you?"

"Not much," Preston admitted.

"I'll admit that I've heard it's huge, but the teachers shouldn't be that mean. And I know some of the fourth years."

Preston shrugged.

Jessie came back into the compartment, this time accompanied by James.

Alli had known James forever. He was also a fourth year- he and Jessie were both in Gryffindor. He had jet black hair, like his father, but big blue eyes like his mother.

"Hi Preston," James said.

Preston nodded again.

"How was your summer?" James tried again.

"Okay."

Jessie looked at Alli for answers, and she shrugged.

"Not much of a talker, are you, Preston?" Jessie asked as kindly as possible.

Alli thought it a wonder Jessie wasn't put into Hufflepuff. Her sister had one of the most impressive work ethics she had ever seen, and she was so kind, and patient with just about anybody.

He shrugged. "Guess not."

Alli felt sorry for Preston. He seemed so alone, and scared. So… so vulnerable.

"Hogwarts is great, Pres. You'll love it, I'm sure," James attempted again.

Alli was beginning to suspect that their parents had put them up to this.

Preston just nodded again, and stared out the window- his way of stopping any further attempts at cheering him up.


After about an hour of chatting, and eating the candy the trolley lady had brought, James suggested getting into their robes.

It was a quiet affair, dressing, but Alli felt so important when she was in her robe. She felt like a real Hogwarts student.

Alli looked at her sister for a compliment as Jessie was pulling her long, blond hair into a ponytail.

"You look great Alli."

"Jessie, do you think they'll call me up as Allegra, or Alli?" she asked, wanting to be prepared.

"Allegra," she said. "They called me up as Jessica."

Alli giggled at Jessie's look of disgust. No one called her Jessica.

"They called my Dad up as Ronald, not Ron," Preston said from his little corner.

Alli nodded.

"Besides, they call up your last name first, and I doubt any other Malfoy's are being Sorted today."

Alli figured Jessie was right.

The train slowed down as Alli's heartbeat began to race in excitement.

Alli was more than ready to begin her Hogwarts career.


A/N: Well, there you have it. Chapter One. Please, be so kind as to leave me a lovely review wouldn't you? I appreciate every single one.
