Reunion

Chapter 1- Time to Go Home

15 years after the prologue

Hermione POV

"Draco, Draco?" I could hear my voice echoing down the long halls of our large home, the sun spilling in through the glass windows that lined the halls bringing a warmth to the house, something you just couldn't get back in England.

"Yes dear." I heard my husband of almost 15 years say as I walked into the dining room. I smiled at him, the sun had taken away the hauntingly white complexion he'd had in the years of our youth and had now replaced it with a light tan that made his hair and eyes seem even brighter and stand out more.

He sat at the head of the table a steaming cup of coffee in one hand while the other turned the pages of the daily profit. I walked over and placed a kiss on his cheek before taking the seat next to him and pouring myself a cup.

"Have you seen the mail this morning?" He shook his head and gave me a curious look. I took a sip of my coffee, letting its warmth spread through me and instantly feeling more awake. "There are two invitations to the Hogwarts 15 years reunion. One is addressed to you and one to me. It says that you are to bring your families: so partners and children along. Its next weekend Draco, should we go? I'd love to see the castle and for the kids to see it." I said letting everything spill out of my mouth all at once.

Draco smiled at me and chuckled a little bit, obviously seeing how much this had brought back for me. All the memories, all the people, our friends and our families. People we hadn't seen in 15 years. The only people we saw were my parents because after the war we'd come here to reverse the memory charm and then this was where we decided to stay.

"Maybe it's about time we went home? If we go to this reunion there's no point in us still living here, we may as well move back to England Mia, we were here because of the kids and because when you were pregnant with the twins we couldn't stay in England. And depending on how all this goes the kids could even go to Hogwarts when the break is over. You know the twins especially are dying to they want to be where we went and they want to know our past." I looked over at Draco he made it all sound so easy, so simple. But we both knew it wasn't only our choice. There were several other people to talk to it about, my parents included.

"We will talk to the kids when they come down for breakfast and I will phone my parents. Where are the kids anyway?" I asked noticing all the food out on the table looking like it hadn't even been touched yet.

"There all still in bed, most of them anyway. Thalia should we on her way back from the stables." Draco said looking at the back door where moments later our youngest daughter came in, her long brown hair hanging half way down her back. She was wearing black leggings, brown ankle boots and a long red t-shirt.

"Morning mum." She said smiling at me, she was our youngest but looked the most like me. Her hair was the same shade of brown as mine, with light honey highlights and chocolate brown eyes. She had just gotten lucky and had wavy hair that was easy to tame, thanks to her dad. She pulled out the chair across from me and started to pour herself some juice.

"Morning Thalia, did you have fun at the stables?" She was animal crazy and believed every creature deserved love and care. She was often the first up and already down at the stables. We had house elves, not many but a few and she was always kind and sweet to them making them gifts and presents. Which one would think would set them free but they never left, they were free to if they wished but they were treated so well that it seemed to make them want to stay.

"It was good; I was just changing the water and grooming the horses. It's nice and warm out so was really nice." She grinned back at me; she did things most pureblood families would turn their noses up at. But as I'm muggle born and only Draco was a pureblood we had raised them to do stuff on their own and not listen to any of the blood purist garbage.

"That's wonderful to hear dear, I'm glad you've made use of the morning. But would you be able to do me a favour and quickly run up and wake up Callie and your brothers?" She smiled before hopping up and running down the hall her footsteps echoing as she took the stairs two at a time.

"Draco should we ask them all when they come down for breakfast?" he looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding.

"Yes I think it would be for the best if it's next weekend, there is a lot we will have to do, along with buying a new house back in London." He said sounding even a little bit excited himself at the idea of going back home.

I turned when I heard several sets of footsteps moments later and Thalia came rushing back into the room and plopped herself back down in her chair, smiling at me. Looking very much like a cunning Slytherin in that moment. Next to walk in was a very discruntled looking Orion our youngest son and where Thalia looked like me, he was the miniature of Draco. He had the white blonde hair, stormy grey eyes and just like Draco his skin was a light tan colour from the Australian sun.

"Morning Orion, are you alright?" I said looking at him then back at his younger sister.

"Morning mum, morning dad. I would have been better if Lia's version of waking me up didn't mean jumping on me." He said casting his sister a dark look.

"Thalia you cannot wake your siblings up like that, all you need to do is go in and wake them up not jump on them. Did you wake Scorpius and Calliope up like that to?" Draco said looking at his youngest daughter. She looked up at him her cheeks starting to go a little red.

"Morning Scorpius, Morning Callie." I said looking at my eldest children, my twins. "Hope Thalia didn't wake you up to roughly."

"Morning mum, Morning dad." They both said in unison, before taking a seat and starting to fill up their plates with food, following their younger siblings lead.

"No Lia just came in and asked me to wake up, I didn't get jumped on like Scorp and Orion." Calliope said smiling at her twin and younger brother. Of course she only jumped on the boys, she looked up to Callie to much to be any form of mean to her.

"Yeah well aren't you lucky then." Scorpius said looking at his baby sister.

"Sorry Scorpius, sorry Orion. I promise not to do it anymore." She said giving them her most pleading look, not liking her brothers being cross with her.

"It's fine Thalia just no more alright. Can we have a nice wake up like Callie seems to get." Scorpius said grinning at Thalia, as she started to nod furiously and looking like her head might just fall off.

"Alright kids your mother and I have something very serious we want to talk to you all about and we want your honest opinions and feelings." Draco paused and watched as they all looked between each other and nodded. "Well your mother and I recided some letters this morning and they were invatations to our 15 year Hogwarts reunion. Its next weekend and it says to bring your partners and children if you have any. Obviously they don't know your mother and I are together as we got one each, its just that the owls knew where we are. If we go to this there is no real point in us returning to Australia, we've talked about moving ack to England before but it never seemed the time. Scorpius and Callie could continue their schooling at Hogwarts and Orion could start his first year their after the break with them, while you Thalia could be inrolled into the magical primary school they have in London." He stopped to take in their expressions and wait for the outburst but it never came.

'What about Grandma and Grandpa?" Said Orion looking a little worried about leaving my parents behind, I smiled gentally at him.

"I am almost positive that if we decided to move back they would come to, I know they both miss their friends and the rest of my family dearly." I said and watched my kids noticeably relax a little.

"Why didn't we grow up there if we have family their then?" Callie asked looking very curious as it was a subject we hadn't really ever talked about with them.

"Well because when I fell pregnant with you to, your father and I wernt married. No one even knew we were together and the 2nd wizarding war had just ended, Voldimort defeated. I know at least you two must have learnt about him in school but for you Orion and Thalia he was a very bad dark wizard that believed full heartidly in blood purity and that all non pure bloods didn't deserve to have magic, so he killed them he also had followers but some wernt their by choice some were forced to do his bidding and if they didn't he would kill their loved ones. It was an extremely dark time and when we found out a lot of people were hurting and mourining those who had been lost so we thought the best idea was for us to leave and I was already coming here to reverse the spell I'd put on grandma and grandpa to keep them safe, Draco and I packed and then we left. Havnt spoken to anyone since." I said and I could feel a lump rising in my throat at the thought of Ginny and Harry and the Weasley's and all the people who had been lost like Remus and Tonks and Fred.

"But there's something I think your old enough to know now. Where your mum fought for the light side, I didn't. My father as a young man had gotten in with Voldimort and the Death Eaters: which is what his followers called themselves. So after Voldimort's first down fall most death eaters went into hiding or were put in jail. My father was not one and he believed very strongly in bloody purity and even when we were in school he was unkind towards your mother and her friends. My mother, your grandmother was force into a life of dark arts and I as a boy was taken right along with her. I was forced to do things as a young man that I was not proud of, just to keep my family and mainly my mother safe. But half way through the war I fell inlove with your mother were not sure how it happened but it did and it became a thing for us to meet up and help each other out I would try and keep her safe by prewarning her about attacks. There is a lot more to the story then this but its not the main point at the moment and if you have questions don't hesitate to ask me and please don't hate me for the things I did as a boy." Draco looked at our children looking more broken then I'd seen him in years.

"It's okay Dad you were just trying to keep your family safe and you made up for all the bad. No one has parents like we do and we know how famous you both are. They talk about you at school. You're a great dad and we don't care what anyone says were a family." Scorpius said and I couldn't have been more proud of my son. The others nodded in agreement with him before hopping up and hugging him.

"So if we do this when do we leave?" Callie asked smiling brightly at us, she was a mix of us both with blonde hair that hung in long ringlets down her back and silver eyes that had little brown flecks in them.

"Well probably Friday, that gives us enough time to go to the new house and set up a bit and get comfortable before leaving for Hogwarts on Saturday morning. So during the week if you all agree this is what you want, I would like you to start packing up and saying goodbye to your friends. We promise we will be bringing you back to Australia every few months because this is your home and where you've grown up, alright?" I said looking very hopeful at them.

"I think it would be good to go it's obvious you miss your families and friends and we all want to go to Hogwarts. I want to see what house I would get sorted into." Orion said smiling.

"Yes I want to go as well that magical school sounds awesome and I understand if we can't bring the horses but could we get a new one maybe?" Thalia said and she sounded so beyond her years of 8 that I nodded my head at her.

"Yes we can sweetie, of course. So Scorpius, Callie are you both okay with this?" I said worried because neither had said anything yet.

"Yes we are, were sad to leave but we agree with Orion. We feel like some of our history is there and we want to see it." Callie said smiling. Scorpius nodded in agreement.

"Alright well that settles it were moving back to England. I'll start looking into houses for us and owl the Australian Ministry about getting transfers to the England one." I said smiling at everyone. "Now go enjoy your last few days." I said and watched my kids scatter throughout the house.
