Chapter 47
"Alright then, do you remember what you have to do to get onto the Platform?" Hermione asked her eleven year old daughter who nodded soundlessly, her golden locks bobbing. She pushed her trunk forward and set her honey coloured eyes determinedly before running right into the stone barrier between Platforms nine and ten.
Hermione and Draco smiled to each other before Hermione followed behind her. Draco was about to go in after her but was stopped by a quiet voice behind him.
"Dad…" Draco turned to see his thirteen year old son looking at him worriedly and definitely knew something was wrong. He had always been a very confident boy and never showed when he was upset or worried much.
"What wrong, mate?" Draco asked, kneeling down in front of the boy.
"I...It's just that everybody in Gryffindor picked on me when I joined. They're ok with me now but...I don't want people to be mean to Tallulah." Titus looked down at the floor and Draco's expression softened. His son was a Gryffindor and Draco was proud to say so to people. He also cared a lot for his younger sister, Tallulah.
"Don't worry." He said kindly to the young blond. "With you looking out for her, I'm sure she'll be just fine." The boy smiled and nodded before turning to the wall. Oh, and Titus?" The boy turned away from the wall and to his father. "I don't want another million owl's from Professor McGonagall in the first week back telling me that you and James have been getting into more mischief like last year."
His son gave the infamous Malfoy smirk to his father. "No promises." He muttered before going through the barrier himself.
It was a well known fact that James Potter, Titus Malfoy, Fred and Roxanne Weasley were the trouble-makers of the school. Nobody had been especially nice to Titus when he had first joined Gryffindor but eventually, James had seen that Titus was upset and they became friends rather quickly. Although the four were rarely seen apart, it was obvious that Titus and James were best friends.
Draco and Hermione sometimes debated and made bets on how many owls would be sent from the Headmistress in the first week back and Hermione usually lost to Draco who always guessed extremely high guesses and normally got closer to the actual number. The four trouble makers were currently trying to break the Marauders' detention records.
Draco ran through the barrier and found his family just in time to give Tallulah one last hug and goodbye before setting her on the train. Many people still wondered how Draco Malfoy and Hermione Malfoy ended up together and they were often asked. Though, usually they would answer with something like, 'Oh, do forgive me but I'd rather not answer that' or 'I hope you don't mind if I don't answer that question'.
More often than not, people were a little worried or confused whenever the two would suddenly burst into fits of laughter as though there were some sort of inside joke involved. Ah, if only they knew.
Hermione's snappy and cheeky attitude that she had gained after Draco had tried to push her away for her safety never went away. It seemed, that their daughter had inherited this also as she usually answered back to both of them. Narcissa, had adored both Titus and Tallulah and spoiled them rotten (not that Draco and Hermione didn't already do so) and Lucius had never met either of them due to the fact that he was no longer properly living since he had received the dementors kiss. Nobody seemed to really care about him, though.
The scarlet steam engine finally left the station and Hermione sighed in content, leaning into her husband's arms.
"Boy, am I glad I followed you and Harry after that episode in the Great Hall." She murmured, catching sight of Harry and Ginny smiling at her to whom returned the smile at. She heard Draco hum in agreement. "I wonder which house Tallulah will be in."
"Five gallions, she'll be in Gryffindor just like her brother and mother." Draco chuckled. "Oh and add her being pals with the other Potter boy, Albus."
Hermione grinned, simply because it was most defiantly what would happen. "Ah well, the train's gone. Time for us to vanish." she said brightly, turning towards the exit of the station. Draco smirked at the slight attempt at the pun.
"I hope this feeling never vanishes." He commented, glancing back at the now rather empty platform. Hermione followed his gaze with her own.
"You know, I have a feeling it won't." She replied, walking through the barrier and into the muggle station.
Suffice to say, she was right.
