Ch 1
In a busy train station, 9 people walked toward the barrier between 9 and 10. The two women in the front chatted about the latest fashion, while the men in the back talked in hushed voices about their work. A little girl hung on to her father's arm, sulking, while another girl and three other boys debated about which house a little raven-haired boy was going to get into.
"No, no, no! What if I don't want to be in Slytherin?" Albus Severus Potter argued with James, his big brother.
"Well I just said that you might…" James Harry Potter started to say but caught his mother's eye and fell silent.
"Well, Slytherin won't be that bad, if you have me right?" a blonde hair boy replied.
"Well what if you aren't sorted into Slytherin, Scor?" Al muttered.
"Of course I'm going to be in Slytherin," Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy grinned, "It's in my blood."
"Well, James's in Gryffindor, and mum and dad were in Gryffindor too…" Al started.
"No, Scor you might not be in Slytherin, mum was a Ravenclaw remember?" Scor's blonde hair, twin Hailey Ann Malfoy reminded Scorpius, interrupting Al's train of thought.
"Dang, I forgot, oh well, if I get put in Ravenclaw, I guess it wouldn't be too bad right?" Scor asked James, who was in Second year.
"Well, I guess Raveenclaw isn't that bad, but I think they are all smarty-pants." James smirked.
"James," Ginny scolded from up front.
"Sorry mum." James muttered.
Draco listened to the whole conversation. He shook his head sadly. No Scor's mum would have been a Gryffindor if she didn't get killed trying to save him. Why? Why did she have to sacrifice herself for him? Draco would rather die than to be parted with Hailey Granger.
"Draco, are you alright?" Harry Potter's voice cut into Draco's mind.
"Huh, yeah, I'm good." Draco muttered looking up into Harry's worried face, "I was just remembering what had happened the last time I was back at Hogwarts."
"Oh I see," Harry sighed, remembering that day too. "But didn't she tell you to stop mourning for her and move on?"
"I have moved on," Draco said quickly, "I have a beautiful wife and two wonderful children, and I also got a good job at the Ministry. Don't you think I have moved on enough?" Draco's voice got a little sharp at the end.
"No, Draco," Harry murmured, "You haven't moved on yet, your heart is still stuck in yesterday's grief and pain. You should just let it all go."
"I can't let it all go," Draco said stubbornly, "You really don't know how much I loved her didn't you? I basically changed my whole view of the world because of her."
"I know, I know." Harry said softly, "You have that and a daughter who has her name, as a memory of her, isn't that enough?"
"Nothing is enough to take away the pain," Draco whispered so low that only Harry could hear. Harry sighed and left Draco alone to mope.
"Lily dear, stop holding onto daddy's arm so tight, I can't feel it anymore." Harry murmured to her.
"I'm sorry, daddy but I want to go right now to go to Hogwarts." Lillian Luna Potter sniffled.
"Don't worry you will be able to in two years." Harry comforted.
"But I want to go now!" Lily wailed. Harry grinned at his littlest child. She reminded him of Ginny so much. His mind went back to the first day when he met her. She too was whining about not being able to go. Just then Hailey skipped to her dad's side and wrapped her arms around him.
"Daddy?" she asked.
"Humm, my little princess?" Draco asked absentmindedly.
"What will happen if I get into a different house other than Slytherin?" Hailey asked worriedly. Draco looked at his little daughter. This had never entered his mind before so he didn't have an answer just yet. He thought about it for a minute.
"Well, pumpkin," Draco said slowly, "I guess anyone of them are fine, just don't wind up in Hufflepuff."
"Why not daddy?" Hailey asked.
"Well Hufflepuffs are –," Draco began.
"DRACO LUCIOUS MALFOY!" Astoria yelled.
"Sorry," Draco murmured. Harry chuckled to himself. He wondered if Draco was saying sorry to not one but two people, his wife and his ghost of Hailey Granger.
Hailey giggled.
"What I was going to say, is that Hufflepuff isn't good enough for you, but if you actually get put in there try to be the top of your class, just like Cedric Diggory.
"Who is he?" Hailey asked.
"He is…" Draco began, but was cut off as they stepped into the barrier and appeared on platform 9 ¾.
"Yes?" Hailey asked impatiently.
"Cedric Diggory is…" Draco began again but was once again cut off.
"He is me." A voice called from behind him. Everyone turned to see a man and a woman with two children standing behind them.
"Hey Diggory, long time no see," Harry said giving Cedric a hand shake.
"Same to you Potter, the only times I get to see you, are at lunch break." Cedric joked. Everyone laughed.
"So Draco, what where you saying about my husband?" Cho asked smiling.
"Oh it's nothing, I was just saying that Cedric is one of the best students Hogwarts had ever had, and Hailey here should be like him." Draco replied honestly.
"That is so nice of you, Mr. Malfoy." Cedric said with a smirk.
"It's not a problem, Mr. Diggory." Draco replied with the same flourish.
"So are these your children?" Ginny asked. Cho nodded proudly.
"This is Michael and Michelle." Both of the kids waved.
"They are so cute," Astoria cooed. Cho laughed.
"Yes they are." After sometime later, when the adults had finally finished their long conversation. The Potter-Malfoy clan bid the Diggorys good bye and went on their way.
"Ah there they are," a male voice said. The crowd cleared and soon four faces appeared before them. Ron, Hermione and their two kids came toward them.
"Parked alright?" Ron asked as they heaved their children's stuff into a compartment on the train.
"Don't ask me," Draco replied, "I didn't drive, but Harry did thought." Scor snickered. Hailey threw her twin a nasty look.
"Well I did, and Hermione thought I couldn't even pass the muggle driving test, she thought I had confounded him." Ron laughed.
"No, I had complete faith in you, Ron." Hermione objected.
Ron whispered to Harry once Hermione moved on, "You know Harry, I did confound him, who really needs to look in the back window anyway, and I could just use the back sensory charm for that."
The little group soon broke into several different parts. The adult went to talk with the other adults. James already disappeared to find his friends. Lily drifted off to talk to Hugo, Rose's little brother, leaving, Hailey Albus and Scorpius to talk to Rose. Rose was already in her Hogwarts robes.
"You know if you keep that up, you might end up being a Hogwarts prefect." Hailey teased Rose as she hugged her.
"Yeah right, I hang out with you guys to much to be one." Rose grinned.
"Are you saying that we are bad influence?" Albus gasped.
"No, I just saying you aren't a very good influence not a bad one." Rose corrected.
"Then I am talking that as a complement." Scor mused.
"You take everything as a complement," Hailey sighed.
"Thank you," Scor said simply, and everyone laughed. Just then James came bursting out of the train.
"Guess what?" he cried excitedly, "I found our Teddy, Teddy Lupin, snogging Victorie, out cousin Victorie!" He looked at the adults in confusion when they didn't respond at first.
"And you interrupted them?" Draco chucked.
"You are so like Ron," Ginny muttered.
"Ohhh that is so cute, I wish they could get married so he can be part of the family," Lily gushed.
"You know what; I think we can just invite him to stay at our house, since he always comes over for Sunday meals anyway." Harry suggested.
"Yeah, he can have my room; I don't mind sharing with Al." James volunteered eagerly.
"No, the only time I want you and Al sharing a room is when I want the whole house to be demolished. Remember when Scor and Al nearly destroyed Ginny's kitchen?" Harry said firmly.
"You did what?" Draco gasped, rounding on Scor, who backed away hurriedly.
"I'm sorry dad, Al and I were just trying to bake a pie, when the whole oven…" Scor trailed off looking at his dad's horrified face.
"When the whole oven blew up and mum came in just in time to see them ashen face, caked in soot, standing by it." James put in.
"James!" Al whined, "Now look, mum's either going to kill us or laugh to death." He stole a look at Ginny's face, which had on a look of total amusement. She started to laugh so hard that she couldn't stop. Everybody started to laugh to expect Hermione, Hailey and Rose who had a stern face on.
Soon the train whistle began to blow.
James gave Al a small kick and said, "See ya latter Al, and watch out for terrestrials!" Then he let his mother kiss him on the cheek and gave his father a fleeting hug and disappeared onto the train, with a wave.
Al gave a squeak, "WHAT, I thought you said that they where invisible."
"They are Al," Harry said, "Your brother likes a good laugh, so don't let him get under your skin, beside you aren't going by carriage this year, you are going by boat." Al swallowed.
"So what if I get put in Slytherin?" Al whispered that only Harry and Ginny who was close by could here.
"Albus Severus Potter, I named you after the two best Hogwarts headmaster, the school has ever known, and one of them is a Slytherin and a very brave man." Harry said quietly.
"Well just what if?" Al persisted.
"Well, then let's say that the Slytherin house will get a very good student. We really don't care which house you are in Al, we just want you to be happy. Beside if you really didn't want to be in Slytherin, you could just ask. The hat always takes people's wishes into account; well at least it did for me." Harry replied simply. He had never told any of his children that before and now Al's face glowed with awe. The whistle blew again.
"Come one Al!" Scor cried flinging the door open for him. Al jumped onto the train, and waved to the others. As the train started to move, every one of the kids on the train seemed to turn and looked at Harry.
"What's going on?" Al demanded.
"Don't worry Al," Ron exclaimed, "It's just me, and I am terribly famous." Al, Scor, Rose and Hailey laughed along with everyone else.
Harry watched his small son's thin, excited face disappearing around the corner, as he waved goodbye.
"He's going to be ok," Ginny murmured as she wrapped an arm around his waist.
"Of course he is going to be." Harry agreed. Draco, Astoria, Ron and Hermione nodded as well. For nineteen years his scar had not hurt and all was well.
Me: Harry, your kids will be just fine.
Harry: How would you know?
Me: I'm the author. *Smirks*
Harry: Oh right sorry.
Me: Not a problem.

As the train rolled away from the station, the four kids sat down and looked at each other.
"So what now?" Al asked.
"Who really knows?" Hailey muttered.
I guess we can just sit here until somebody think of what to do." Scor offered.
"Yeah, and by that time, I'll be so old, that I won't be able to move." Rose teased.
