A/N: This is my first next generation fan fiction which is following my one-shot about Narcissa. Enjoy!

Scorpius Malfoy had known he was different from the rest of his family for a long time, before, he had not realised that some of the things his parents had told him about their past were not real but simply made up to make him think they had been better people in their pasts. As far as Scorpius was concerned his father had never had anything to do with Lord Voldemort and neither did his grandfather Lucius but that they had always been good people. However Draco had changed within the fifteen years since the battle of Hogwarts - he no longer believed muggle borns were any worse than purebloods and the same with halfbloods and squibs because his wife Astoria had refused from the beginning to teach Scorpius that all non purebloods are scum, this was for the best really because it meant that they could be happy without having to be selective about their friends.

Lucius however was not content with his son's decision to change for he still believed that muggle borns should not be allowed to attend magical schools of any kind or be able to have their magic recognised in the first place. However many times Draco had tried to tell him he still wouldn't accept that the future Malfoys were going to respect muggleborns. Luckily for Lucius, he had Scorpius, whenever the young boy would go to visit his grandma and grandpa he would have many thoughts put into his head of why he should never converse with a muggle born child and get his father to send him to Durmstrang where no muggle-borns are allowed.

Luckily, Narcissa realised what her husband was doing to the poor boy when Scorpius came up to her and asked if she knew what a mudblood was and decided at that moment to leave Lucius and move in with Draco and his family. They welcomed her with open arms because Draco knew his mother had always tried to be a good person even when she was bringing up Draco and blamed herself for what happened to her son. Sadly, even a pureblood family which has changed still has its traditions and for the Malfoys, the one thing they still believed in was that every Malfoy should be a Slytherin.

His parents could also tell that their son was different but they had been able to tell since he could barely walk as he was such a nice child who believed in helping creatures and animals rather than destroying them like his father had done when he was younger, because of this they decided to keep their colourful past hidden until Scorpius could find out for himself. Although for the past decade and a half of their lives they'd done nothing wrong they knew that if they ever met Harry Potter or his friends again Scorpius would find out that their family was not always so happy.

It happened when he was accompanying his parents to a reunion of their time at Hogwarts which had finished fifteen years before then, he could tell his father was a little worried about this reunion and especially seeing Harry Potter after so many years but his mother simply told him that they couldn't hide from their classmates forever, they would have to face them again. As they left the house on the bright morning in the middle of May, Draco told his son, "Scorpius my boy, when we get to this place I have to place a few rules so that you do not get into any trouble at this," he shuddered, "Renunion,"

"Don't worry about me daddy I never get into trouble," he grinned and Draco ruffled his hair,

"Yes I know you would never do anything on purpose but there are going to be some people here who do not think I was a good person," he told him,

"But why daddy? You are the best daddy in the world - why would anybody not like you?"

"My son, there are people here who I have been cruel to before, I was not always the person I am now, your mother helped me change to be the better person that I am now," he held Astoria's hand and she said,

"You have to understand that there are going to be some children here who have been told to hate you but you mustn't listen to them because they will not be in your house anyway at Hogwarts."

Draco and Astoria had a difficult time at the reunion and so did Scorpius, he was entirely ignored by all of the children because of reasons he would never fully understand. Ever since that day he realised that his parents were not the good people he thought they were and he wanted to be different, he was excited to go to Hogwarts where he would show people that he was in fact different.

When the day arrived that Scorpius left on the train he tried to find somewhere to sit alone but couldn't so he had to ask around everywhere to find a seat. He finally arrived at a set of seats belonging to a boy with brown hair and a girl with ginger hair,

"Hi," he said, "Would you mind if I sat here? Everywhere else is completely filled up,"

"Oh sure," replied the boy with brown hair, "What is your name?"

"Albus," the girl said under her breathe, "That is Scorpius Malfoy, we can't talk to him,"

"It's fine Rose, it doesn't matter what our parents said," Scorpius smiled and sat down opposite them,

"So," Rose said, "You're Scorpius right?"

"Yeah, who are you?"

"I'm Rose and this is Albus, our siblings were here a moment ago but now they have gone to see their friends,"

"We are the only ones in our two families starting at Hogwarts this year so we have to be friends really," said Albus which was confusing to Scorpius,

"So you two are not actually related?" he asked,

"Oh no of course not," said Rose, "But our parents have always been really good friends so we have spent a lot of time together,"

"My parents don't really have any friends," said Scorpius,

"No? Well that is a shame," Albus said, "But my dad said you would be different from your parents anyway so we would probably be able to trust you,"

"My dad said to beat you in every test," retorted Rose, "We have been told about bad things your dad has done in his past but is it really true that he has changed?"

"Yes I think it is. I mean I knew nothing of him ever being cruel to anyone before that reunion thing a few years ago, he is completely changed from who he used to be,"

"But you will still be a Slytherin, right?" asked Rose,

"That is what everybody says will happen,"

"We are destined to be Gryffindors, aren't we Albus? But if we got another house our parents would still be proud of us,"

"My dad was almost a Slytherin," Albus told him,

"Who is your dad?" Scorpius was intrigued,

"My dad is um.. Harry Potter,"

"Harry Potter! You mean to say he was almost Slytherin?"

"Very nearly, but he asked the sorting hat to be in Gryffindor and it said yes. You can choose really, would you choose Slytherin?"

"I dunno, probably not,but the choice is not mine anyway,"

The three continued chatting all the way on the train, it was almost like they had been best friends for years and they completely forgotten about all of the family rivalries. They talked about pets, food, Hogwarts and loads of other things as well, they joked and laughed until they caught their first glimpse of the castle itself,

"It is amazing!" exclaimed Scorpius,

"Beautiful," gasped Rose,

"Wow!" yelled Albus.

They took their trucks off of the train and entered the place which would start a new chapter of their lives for the next seven years and perhaps, Scorpius thought, a new friendship.
