They were married a few months after that and had their son Alexander a little while after that. Alcaeus had gotten his letter from Hogwarts and couldn't have been happier to receive it. He felt a bit saddened though, to leave his family and live with people his age, but the challenge was accepted by him. His parents told him all about Hogwarts and their seven years spent there.
"Then how come you both never married in the first place?" Alcaeus asked wondering why his father never married Jade when they had seen each other and grew up there during seven years.
"Well it's different. You tend to see yourself with a certain group of people and you might think that they're right for you…but sometimes it's not the case. Sometimes the person you least expect to see in your life actually does make it happen. You never know who you'll meet, who you'll see and end up with." Jade told him.
Alcaeus's wand, books, supplies and robes were bought. They all packed together for the morning, when Alcaeus was going to leave for Hogwarts.
"Remember…make friends and do the best you can. If anything bothers you…if you feel like you're stuck, seek out some help. Your professors will be more than happy to assist you. Don't be scared Alcaeus. If anything, write to us and visit during Hogsmeade. We'll talk everything out all right?" Jade asked seeing Alcaeus nod.
He was grown from the time Jade had seen him when he was 7. His black hair was slicked back and his grey eyes were determined not to let any tears fall in front of his mother and father. "I love you." Jade said feeling her voice break. Alcaeus hugged his mother tightly and squeezed his eyes shut, trying to savor every last moment of this.
He let his mother go and saw her crying. He turned to his father who crouched down, meeting eyes with Alcaeus. Alcaeus bawled at this point and clutched his father. "Alcaeus calm down." Draco said rubbing his son's back.
"I'm scared!" Alcaeus said as Draco shook his head.
"You're not scared…you're going to do just fine and you know that. You'll love it there, I know I did. I want you to be all that you can be in that school. I want you to graduate and be whatever you want to be. I've been proud of you all my life Alcaeus and I still am. Write whenever you can and like your mother said, we're here if you need to talk. Professors will be available to help so use them up to your full advantage." Draco said as Alcaeus nodded. "I love you son, now go on. Don't be late for the train." Draco said letting go of Alcaeus who was stunned.
"I-I love you too Father." Alcaeus stuttered.
"Don't miss the train Alcaeus." Draco said pointing to the train.
"Bye love. Write every week!" Jade said hugging him tightly.
Jenita gave him a strong hug and Alcaeus kissed his brother Alexander. "Bye Mum! Bye Father! Bye Jenita! Bye Alex!" Alcaeus said, running towards the train.
Jade and Draco waved as the train hooted, ready to leave the platform. They refrained from shouting how much they loved their child and to take care and write back. When the train started to leave, all they could do was wave until it disappeared completely.
"What does it say?" Draco asked as Jade read through Alcaeus's letter the next morning.
"You might want to sit down for this." Jade said looking up from the letter. Draco furrowed his eyebrows and threw his arms out impatiently.
"Hufflepuff." Jade told him.
"What?! Hufflepuff? Are you insane? He can't get into Hufflepuff!" Draco said. Jade handed him the letter and Draco became incredibly upset.
"Draco! Whatever House he's in doesn't matter! As long as he's happy, we're fine. You have to remember that Alcaeus has an identity of his own." Jade said seeing Draco roll his eyes.
"Identity." Draco mimicked.
"Draco." Jade warned.
"Draco." Draco mimicked walking away.
"I swear the children seem much more civilized than you do sometimes!" Jade yelled.
