Summary: My take on the next generation. Told mostly from Scorpius, Rose, and Albus' POV. Read along and join them in their adventures in friendship, fights, and maybe even love.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Harry Potter. I'm just borrowing some characters from JKR. I only own the plot and my OC's
Chapter 1
Draco caught sight of Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny staring at him, nodded curtly, and turned away again.
Scorpius couldn't keep from looking around the platform in every direction, trying to take it all in. He still couldn't believe he was finally going to Hogwarts. He stood speechless, looking around at the many families and students milling about, laughing and saying their goodbyes. He ignored his mother, Astoria, who insisted on fussing with his hair, and instead turned his attention to his father, who wasn't paying attention. He noticed him staring at a point some yards away, but couldn't quite see what he was looking at. At last, his father turned to look at him, a crooked small set on his lips. Scorpius tried to smile back.
"What's the matter, son? Nervous?" Draco asked. Scorpius could only nod. Draco kneeled down a bit and placed a hand on his son's blond head. "Don't be," he said. "Everything will be fine."
Finally, Scorpius blurted out the one thing that had been nagging him this whole time. "Do you really care what house I'm in? You're not going to disinherit me if I'm not in Slytherin, are you?"
Draco and Astoria looked surprised for a moment, looking at each other. They then chuckled. "Of course not dear," said Astoria. She pulled her son into a warm hug. "We'd never do that."
"You're mother's right, Scor." Draco kneeled down to his son's level and looked him right in the eye. "Now, I know that back when I was in school, houses and blood purity were all that mattered to me and my family. But, you don't have to be in Slytherin, son. You're a bright boy. You could be in Ravenclaw or even Gryffindor for all I care. I just want you to be the best you can be, and don't let anyone give you grief just because of who your family is. You hear me?" Scorpius nodded and smiled, wrapping his arms around his father's torso in a quick hug. He did the same to his mother, who kissed him on the cheek.
"Thanks Dad," he said. He and his father began to gather up his trunk and owl, and turned to approach the Hogwarts Express. But not before his mother swooped down to land a good amount of kisses on his cheeks.
"Mum!"
"I'm sorry dear. It's just that," she sniffled a bit, "You know I'm going to miss you." She gave him a watery smile. "Too bad your sister couldn't be here to see you off as well." Scorpius wrinkled his nose a bit at that comment.
His younger sister, Aria, had gotten sick the day before, and was currently being watched by their grandmother. She'd been really upset, saying how she wanted to see what the Hogwarts Express looked like up close and how she was ready to go to Hogwarts now. Their father had told her that she would be able to see it when Scorpius came home for Christmas. Aria hadn't liked that of course, but couldn't do anything about it.
"I doubt she'll miss me," said Scorpius.
"Of course she will," Draco assured. "She'll be writing you letters in about a week's time I'm sure." He chuckled again. He then ruffled his son's hair. "I'll miss you son."
"I'll miss you too Dad. And you too Mum." He hugged them both one final time, then turned towards the train.
"Don't forget to write dear!" He heard his mother shout. He looked back at her and shouted, 'I won't!' before stepping onto the train. He turned to look out the window and waved a final goodbye.
Time for the start of a new adventure.
Author's Note: Hey there! This is my first official fanfic. I've put alot of thought into this story, but never thought to write it down. (-_-) Well here it is. And yes, I know I added a new character. I just felt like Draco was supposed to have a daughter, ya know? ;)
Anyways, please review! I'd really appreciate the feedback. Thanks!
