Chapter 18

Hermione looed to the backseat and tried to smile convincingly at the three extremely worried looking children behind her.

"You'll all be fine, I promise sweeties, it's not as scary as you think." She promised as Draco opened the driver's side door and checked that the triplets had their seatbelts done up.

Meredith was the sensible one, level headed, clever and eager to start school, she was smiling confidently and had already changed into her robes.

Celeste was looking decidedly more terrified.

She had long, curly pale blonde hair, as apposed to her sister's long straight chestnut hair that resembled her mothers, but without the curls.

Both of the girls had inherited the Malfoy eyes, making Celeste look exactly like her father.

Their brother, on the other hand, had never grown out of his unique, pale violet eyes.

He was enchantingly handsome, just as the girls were extremely beautiful.

And despite the fact that he had his hearing aid just hidden underneath his messy blonde hair, Elijah Malfoy was gorgeous.

He attempted a smile at his proud father, and returned to looking out the window.

Draco could not have been more proud of his children.

He knew Meredith was just like her mother, a fact that caused him to hope desperately she would beat the newest Potter boy in all their tests.

And he'd also been monumentally impressed with the calm and reasonable way the girls had responded to Elijah's condition.

The entire family was fluent in sign language, as sometimes he preferred to remove his hearing aid.

He revved the engine and smiled to himself, as he felt Hermione's hand on his.

This was it.

LINEEE BREAKKKKK

"You'll be fine, Celeste even if you are in Hufflepuff, what does it matter?" Hermione was still trying to convince her daughter that everything was going to be fine at school.

She, Draco and the triplets were one of the first families at platform nine and three quarters, but she quickly spotted the Thomas family making their way over.

Rishi Thomas looked terrified. His large glasses that made him look like a cute little owl were slipping down his nose as he tried to hold up all his things.

As soon as she spotted him, Celeste's look of fear vanished, and she ran over to greet her friend, pulling him into a hug that Draco would have preferred lasted a little shorter.

"They are kindred spirits really, aren't they?" Draco murmured to Hermione as the pair of nervous children chattered away.

Hermione nodded thoughtfully.

"Can you imagine if they got together though? Nothing would ever get done." Draco spluttered and looked at her in shock until he realised she was joking.

"I'll have you know none of my girls will be dating until they're at least 17."

Hermione rolled her eyes, and then spotted Luna, Blaise, Ginny and Harry making their way over.

"Gin!" Hermione called out, waving frantically as her best friend hurried over, the newest addition to the Potter family in her arms.

Elijah broke away from his father's side to talk earnestly with James, whilst his sister made her way over to Camille.

"Oh I've barely seen the little dear this month!" Hermione grinned, pulling the sleeping baby out of her mother's arms.

"Hello there!" Hermione cooed as Albus looked on in monumental boredom.

"So, how's Al feeling about this year? He must be a bit nervous, I do hope James hasn't been bothering him too much?" Hermione asked, laughing as Albus stuck his tongue out at her ad stalked off.

"He's just touchy I guess, trying not to be nervous in case James laughs at him." Ginny rolled her eyes, picking up umber four out of Hermione's arms as Lily tried to get someone's attention.

"She's not being the best behaved either." Ginny muttered as Hermione laughed, glad someone actually had more children than she did.

"I can't believe they'll all just be gone." She said wistfully, looking on at the scarlet red engine as the hustle and bustle of platform 9 and ¾'s began to set in.

"I know, it's hard to believe how long it's been." Ginny sighed, before she was snapped out of her reverie as James tried to get his sister in a headlock.

"JAMES SIRIUS POTTER I swear to the merciful lord"

Hermione chucked as Ginny rushed off in a tirade.

Those kids had better not play up at Hogwarts, she had a feeling Ginny would bash their heads in.

She gasped in surprise as she felt the wind being knocked out of her, and looked down to see Elijah with his arms wrapped tight around her waist.

She smiled, and bent down so their eyes were level.

"Mummy I'm scared, what if the other children think I'm strange." He whispered, as Hermione tucked back a lock of his platinum blonde hair and kissed his forehead.

"If they do, it will be because they're jealous. I mean look at you, my handsome young man." She grinned as Elijah looked away in embarrassment.

"You'll be ok sweetie, I promise. I'll write to you every week."

Elijah looked up at her nervously.

"Maybe not every week, James says only babies get letters every week."

Ginny overheard his comment as she and Harry headed over to them.

"Well I'll have you know we wrote to James at least three times a week in his first year." Ginny replied, giving her eldest son a look.

Harry rolled his eyes and looked down at Elijah, and Albus who'd just joined them.

"You don't want to go believing everything your brother says about school."

"Boys you'll be fine, I know it." Ginny beamed down at them as she kissed Albus goodbye.

"And would you believe it, James has already gone!" She sighed, as Harry smiled slightly.

"Just wait, he always comes back for his kiss."

Sure enough, James Potter came dashing back long enough for his mother to give him a quick peck on the cheek, and then he was off with his friends to find a seat.

Hermione looked down proudly at the three children she loved
so dearly, and felt Draco's arm go around her shoulders.

"You'll do great, don't even worry about a thing." Draco smiled, ruffling Elijah's hair as the girls rushed to give their parents a hug.

"Goodbye Mum, Dad, me and Celeste are going to sit with Al, Rishi, Renae and Bianca." Smiled Meredith, taking her sisters hand as they kissed each parent in turn.

"You stay well away from all those boys, don't think I won't find out!" Draco called as Hermione slapped him lightly on the arm.

"Will you stop." She chuckled, before pulling Elijah into her arms one last time.

In all honesty, she was afraid.

She knew Elijah was different, probably everyone in the school would know almost immediately, and she worried if he'd manage.

"You'll be ok my little soldier." She whispered into his hair, as Draco patted his son on the back with a smile.

They stood together, hand held as they waved the train off.

Hermione smiled as Draco kissed her softly after the last carriage left the station.

"They'll be ok. He'll be ok." He whispered.

"I know." Hermione smiled, and she really did.

Both Meredith and Celeste Malfoy were sorted into Ravenclaw, whereas their brother, Elijah Malfoy was sorted into Slytherin along with Albus Potter. (Much to James' annoyance)
Rishi Thomas was sorted into Gryffindor, and Camille Zabini was sorted into Slytherin.

They remained friends throughout the school, in spite of all odds, and their parents couldn't have been prouder.

And that's it! :'(
