Children rushed into the train, eager to go to Hogwarts.

"Take care of your sisters, got it? Especially Alice," Draco said to Scorp.

"Got it Dad," Scorp nodded. "Allie, c'mon,"

Scorp held little Alice's hand and dragged her onto the train. He glared at first year boy staring at Alice and pulled his youngest sister closer to him.

"Scorp! Alice!"

They found their group of friends and sat down. Alice, Lily Potter, and Jacey Nott were the only first years in the compartment. They were nervous, but the older kids kept assuring them it would be okay.

"Hey Serena," A second year guy said from the hallway. He winked at her and smirked.

"Wink at her again, and you'll wish you were dead," Came a growl.

Luke Weasley glowered at the second year, who soon ran off. Luke sat by Serena like an overprotective brother.

"Serena Zabini, stay away from him," Luke said.

Serena rolled her eyes. Everyone knew Luke was protective of Serena and Jacey, the only two besides himself without siblings. He felt like he needed to protect them since nobody else could.

"Alice, stay away from boys," Scorp said. "And by that, I mean boys who aren't in this compartment," He huffed.

Alice smiled and nodded. "Okay," she chirped.

The train whistle blew and everyone stuck their head's out of the window. They yelled out byes to their parents and waved.

"I can't reach!" Alice pouted, trying to get to the window.

James laughed and picked up the younger girl. He raise her up to she could see out the window.

"Bye mum! Bye dad!" Alice called out.

Hermione and Draco smiled at their daughter and waved.

"They grow so fast," Theo chuckled.

"Too fast," Harry muttered, thinking about Lily.

Blaise rolled his eyes. "Mate, think about how Theo and I feel. Our little girls don't have brothers,"

Draco and Harry's eyes widened and they felt sympathetic.

"No. They have an overprotective Luke that scares the living daylight out of every boy looking at them," Lavender chuckled.

Hermione smiled. She wished Ron was here to see this. He would've loved to see Alice.

As the train disappeared, a bright light flashed.

For a moment...

Just a moment...

Hermione saw ther old friend smiling at her.
