"This isn't fair," Gemini protested. She may look like her father, but she was nothing like Draco.
"What's not fair about it?" I asked patiently as Scorpius tried out wands.
"Why does he get to go? I'm just as good -if not better- I've been studying...I want to go too mummy." Gemini was all of five years old, she could barely write her full name -Gemini Narcissa Malfoy- and she was demanding to follow Scorpius to Hogwarts.
"You're just not old enough," I told her simply. She huffed at me, her perfectly straight hair framed her round features.
"But I'm just as good as he is!" She insisted.
"Yes you are." I told her absently, "how about a new book? Will that keep you happy until you're eleven?" She crossed her arms over her chest.
"No. It most definitely will not...but a wand would."
"No chance." I told her immediately.
"But daddy said I could have anything I wanted."
"Daddy didn't run that by me." I told her distractedly. Scorpius demonstrated his wand for me and I gave him a thumbs up.
"But mummy you know I'm responsible! You said it yourself, I'm just like you and you know I won't stop." She insisted. I sighed heavily as if she were causing me great pain.
"I wouldn't let your brother have one until now. Why should I give you one?" She went into lecture mode. I could see myself in her so clearly the physical properties didn't really matter. I did the same when my mother asked me why she should let me go to Hogwarts. I straightened my back and jutted out my chin in that know it all fashion of mine.
"Because I would use it for little things like lumos and alohomora. It's also useful if I ever need to protect myself from actual danger." She knew she had me, I could see the triumph rising in her steel eyes. She knew I could deny her nothing. She was my miracle baby.
"Well then...go on."

I full well planned to keep my cool on the platform, but that all fell apart when I gave him his trunk. I pulled him into my arms and placed little kisses all over his face. I checked his robes and brushed his hair out of his eyes. Draco had to still my busy hands.
"Oh my baby!" I cried happily. I gave him another hug, squeezing him until his jelly nearly spilled.
"Mum I can't breathe." I let him go. With a small smile he wiped my tears from my face and gave me one more hug.
"You'll have fun won't you?" He promised me he would so with one last kiss I sent him on his way.
"You're hopelessly emotional 'Mione," Ron said from behind me. He was helping Pansy's first born load up her trunk.
"Daddy hurry up, you can talk to Miss. Hermione later." She waved and me and Draco, gave, Genini a posh kiss, and winked at my Scorpius.
"Bossy little thing, she is," he muttered, but helped her into the train. She returned with him moments later.
"Scorpius, you will sit with me won't you?" She asked. Her wide brown eyes were heavily fringed with dark lashes that could lure in any sane man. Scorpius shrugged.
"Why not?" Sorry girlie, my Scorpius was only a boy. She laced her arm with his. They headed to the train after Scorpius gave his little sister a big hug and kiss.
"Love you mum, love you dad, love you Gem!" He called from the window. We returned the call of our love before the train began trucking.
"Ten galleons he's in Gryffindor," Gemini said, "and ten more that Violet is in Slytherin." Draco thought on it.
"I'll make that bet, but if you're wrong I get to teach you how to fly. Deal?"
"Deal," she shook his hand before giving him a sly smile from behind his book.
Two weeks later it was confirmed. My boy was a Gryffindor.
Thank you again! I'm so excited to be finished. XDDDDD thanks for everything all.
