Disclaimer: I regret to inform you…I do not own Harry Potter!!

Sorry that this chapter is so abnormally short. I didn't know it was gonna be that short. The next chapter will be much longer though. I guarantee it!

I will not be here Friday or Saturday! I really dislike not being here because I almost have the second chapter written already. I really want to get it up as fast as possible. However I am going to be up in the mountains for Youth Conference. Just something I am doing with my ward. But anyway yeah I won't be able to update until Monday, because my parents won't let me on the computer on Sunday. I might be able to update Sunday but I won't make any promises.

Also I won't put up the next chapter unless I get at least 1 review. If I get 1 review I will post the next chapter. I want to see how well this works, so if you enjoy reading this story please review it!? THANKS!!

Chapter 1: Summertime

It was a warm summer night at the Burrow where the Potter's and all the Weasley's were having a summer family get together.

Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Percy, Fred & George, Ron, Hermione, Harry, Ginny, and a slightly graying Mr. & Mrs. Weasley were gathered around a table outside in the garden.

The children Albus, James, Rose, Lily, Hugo, and Krista, (who had come with Rose since she was spending the summer with her) were all on the ground watching a game of wizards chess. James was playing Hugo, and even though James was 3 years his senior, Hugo was winning.

"Are you and Hugo excited to go to school next year?" Albus asked looking at his younger sister Lily.

"Yeah, for me it's Gryffindor house or nothing. My Dad said if I got Slytherin he'd disown me." Hugo told them, but with a smile on his face. "Mom won't let him though."

"Me too. My dad wouldn't disown me if I got Slytherin though. He would still be very proud but…I want Gryffindor." Lily told them as she watched Hugo's king take a pawn.

CRACK! Sounded a noise by the table as Teddy Lupin, Harry's Godson, apparated beside Bill. Victoire apparated behind her mother, Fleur, after Teddy.

The children looked up from their game and Lily ran over to Teddy and gave him a big hug.

"Hi Lily."

"Hi, Teddy."

Lily had grown pretty close to Teddy over the past year. She was the only Potter child at home since Albus and James were both at school, and she had been feeling lonely.

Teddy would stop in for dinner almost every night though, and so Lily got to know him a little better.

She wanted to be able to do the same thing this year.

"Everyone, I have an announcement to make!" Called Teddy down the length of the table. "I just proposed to Victoire and she said YES! WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!"

There was a hubub of excitement as the family gathered around to give their congratulations.

In all the excitement, no one noticed two small figures slip away up to the top floor of the burrow.

"Scorpius." hissed Albus at a small handheld mirror.

Miles away from the Burrow, a furious Draco Malfoy looked at his son and said, "Did you hear something, you vile Gryffindor?"

Scorpius shrugged and stuck his hand in his pocket, covering the mirror with his palm.

Rose's spirits were low.

"Scorpius can't talk right now." Albus told her.

She nodded and walked back downstairs.

Albus pocketed the mirror then followed.

They hadn't been able to talk to Scorpius all summer. Etiher because of Rose's father or because of Scorpius' father.

Rose and Albus couldn't talk to Scorpius if Rose's father was around because he would blow up and start yelling at everyone for no reason. The Rose's mum would say,

"Ronald Weasley! Don't yell!"

No one wanted a family feud so the kids would avoid talking about anything Malfoy related around the adults.

When Rose and Albus quietly returned outside, Teddy was telling how he had proposed to Victoire.

The adults were so wrapped up in the story, they took no notice of the children.

James and Krista looked at Albus and Rose.

"I'm guessing that by the depressed looks on your faces…he couldn't…" James said quietly, continuing his game with Hugo.

They shook their heads.

Teddy had just finished his story and the adults rose and looked around at the kids.

"Time for bed!" shouted Mrs. Weasley.

Hermione and Ron ushered Hugo and Rose to their rooms, Krista following Rose.

Lily, Albus and James walked away form their parents and up the stairs.

"Night Albus, James." Lily said before entering the room her, Rose, and Krista currently occupied.

James and Albus told the girls goodnight and climbed all the way up the burrow, joining Hugo for bed.

Meanwhile, Scorpius had managed to slip away from his father and into his bedroom.

By the time he had accomplished this though, it was 2 in the morning, and although, he knew Albus…and Rose, wanted to hear from him, he guessed they were asleep by now and put the mirror in a box that would let only him open it.

Then he got into his pajamas and fell asleep thinking of how much he hated summer break.
