"Today is so special!" Hermione sighed.

The entire Potter/Lupin clan we walking the kids to school.

"I can't believe Dominique is in her last year of Muggle School!" Harry exclaimed.

"I know! I remember when we first saw her as a baby! Hell, I remember Fleur being pregnant with her!" Dora agreed.

"And look at us!" Remus added. "James is in his first year of Junior, Teddy's in his last of infant, Sirius is year 1 and Isobel is starting already!"

"I don't think this is such a good idea." Isobel mumbled forlornly.

"Why not?" Lily asked, clearly surprised. "You've been banging on about how excited you are ALL summer!"

"What if I'm awful? What if I have no friends?" Isobel groaned.

"Issie, you're already miles ahead of the muggles academically! And you have Abigail and Luke to hang out with!" Teddy assured his sister.

"We're here!" James declared. "Oh, there's Jared and Elijah! Gotta go!"

"No, James say good bye properly!" Hermione ordered.

James groaned. "Bye guys! Lily, M, Clarissa, Louisa, Aurora, no driving Uncle Remus insane, ok? Teddy, I'm on a different playground now… but I'll meet you at the border. Sirius, give your teacher hell for me! I always suspected the year 1 teachers had a particular distaste for me. Issie, you'll do fine. You're smart and cute. Have fun! Bye Mum, I'll not burn the school down. Or at least not in the first week! Dad, say hey to Kingsley for me. Bye Auntie Dora, Uncle Remus!"

"Bye James!" the entire group chorused as the boy ran off to meet his friends.

"I'll say bye next… coz I think I just saw Georgie and Louis. Issie, I'll check on you at first break and lunch, same for you Sirius. M, look after Dad for me. Lily look after M. Rissa, Eesa, Rora, keep an eye on Lily. Bye Mum, I'll do my best not to die of boredom in class. Dad, I promise I'll still try with my work. Uncle Harry, Auntie Dora, I'll try to stop James from burning the school down… no promises though! See ya!" Teddy rushed before he too ran off.

"There's Freddie and Hannah! Bye Lils, Bye Clarissa, Louisa, Aurora. Be good, ok? M make sure Lily doesn't smash too many glasses trying to help with the washing up! Isobel I'll find you at break time. Mum, Dad, I'll do ok, I promise. I'll try to keep my head out of a book… but it may not be easy. See you Auntie Dora, Bye Uncle Remus." Sirius smiled before he went after his friends.

"Issie, do you want us to walk you to class?" Dora asked brightly.

"Erm… no. I can do it myself. I'm sure Abby and Luke will be here somewhere." Isobel uttered.

"Ok. Bye darling! Be good, chin up, smile on." Dora encouraged.

"Have fun Foxlet!" Remus chuckled, hugging his daughter.

"Bye Isobel" Hermione beamed.

"Show the teachers whose boss!" Harry winked.

"Bye Issie! I'll miss you lots!" Maiya muttered sadly.

"Bye M. I'll miss you too." Isobel sighed.

"See ya Issie!" Lily grinned.

"Bye Lils!" Isobel beamed.

"Bye Bye!" The triplets fare welled.

Isobel put on a brave smile and marched herself off to class.

"I can't believe Issie's starting school!" Remus stammered.

"It'll be odd without her at home." Lily murmured.

"I don't really want her to go to school!" Maiya cried.

"Of course you do!" Dora smirked. "Now there are less people to share the chocolate with."

"Daddy, when do I go to school?" Maiya asked quietly while the others were having lunch.

"Not for a while yet Princess. Lily starts in a year and you start the year after that." Remus informed her.

"I know it's far off but… I've been thinking… Jamesie says that there are some mean kids at school. I know Sirius has some people who say … stuff. What if they make fun of me because I only have one arm?" Maiya stuttered.

"Then you tell me straight away… or if it's awful find Teddy and have him sort it out at school then tell me when you get home. I'm sure they won't though." Remus muttered.

He didn't even want to think about the possibility of his baby girl being bullied.

"Ok." Maiya sighed.

"I don't want to go to school! It sounds awfully boring the way James tells it!" Lily moaned.

"I'm sure you'll have great fun Lily. Still you're not going for another year yet." Remus chuckled.

"He says he needs to start training me, Lola, Lysander and Drew to become pranksters." Lily announced proudly.

"I'm sure the school will be delighted!" Remus laughed.

"I think School is pointless!" Clarissa declared.

"We'll learn to read and write here" Louisa agreed.

"And we already know Summer and Skye so we don't need to meet new friends." Aurora added.

"School is a complete necessity. Not matter what James says!" Remus countered.

"Daddy, is there any chocolate in the cupboard?" M asked smiling angelically.

"Urgh! Maudire ce devoirs de maths stupide!" Dominique groaned as she threw hew maths book at her wall.

"Dominque honey, much as I feel for you, I'm sure abusing your maths book won't get your homework done!" Bill chuckled as he entered his eldest daughter's room.

Everything around way white or shy blue, not at all like Victorie's pink palace.

"But Dad! Vic hasn't started anything like this yet, Louis is still just a kid… so there's no hope there, Mum never did English mathematics, and you were home schooled!" Dominique complained.

"Why don't you go and ask Auntie Hermione about it? It's Saturday so she'll be at home." Bill suggested.

"That's not a bad idea Dad. I'll floo call her." Dominique decided.

Half an hour later Dominique and Hermione were bent over the maths book, tackling the horrors of long division! Victorie and Louis were in the lounge with James, Sirius and Lily; as Harry had taken Clarissa, Louisa and Aurora out to the park.

"But it doesn't make sense!" Dominique protested. "I just don't see the logic!"

"You will." Hermione assured her. "And when it clicks you'll be sailing through this."

"Aunt Mione, what do you remember about that day in Diagon Alley? The day when I was little and the bad wizards came?" Dominique asked.

"Erm… You remember that? Wow. Erm… well, we had just been to see Uncle Fred and Uncle George's joke shop for the first time. We were sat outside the ice-cream parlour and you were telling us all about how excited you were to have a little sister." Hermione began.

"Then the Death Eaters came." Dominique pressed.

"Yes, then the Death Eaters came. We tried to get you inside but you wanted to stay with your Dad. We got you all away safely quickly and duelled a bit. Anyway, we won and no one was hurt… well apart from the Death Eaters." Hermione finished.

"Oh. I remember screaming and being taken away. That's all." Dominique mumbled.

All of a sudden Remus ran into the room with a terrified look on his face. "Malfoy has escaped Azkaban!" he exclaimed.

"What?!" Hermione screeched.

"He got away! Everyone is looking for him, but what if he comes here?" Remus gasped.

"He… He can't get in. the house is protected. We're safe… we're safe." Hermione stammered, sounding like she was trying to convince herself as much as anyone else.

"I'll get Vic and Louis. We should be getting home." Dominique piped up as she ran off to find her brother and sister.

At that minute Harry walked in with Clarissa on his back, Louisa on his shoulders and Aurora on his hip.

"Oh, Hi Remus! What can we do for you?" He greeted.

Neither adults could think of anything to say. What could they say? What could they do? How could they keep their families safe?
