(hey guys here's another fan fic. i hope you like it so please review! i will add more chapters to my other stories soon but i havent had much time to up date them)

The owl swooped in and dropped the letter onto harry's lap. He had been reading the daily prophet while his daughter lily was drawing pictures on the coffee table with his son Albus. He recognised the Hogwarts seal and quickly tore it open.

"Dear Mr and Mrs Potter and family,

You have been cordially invited to attend a day at Hogwarts School for a picnic and social on the 25th August. The first year pupils will be able to meet each other this invitation extends to parents and families as there will be activities for them to join in as well as meeting their child's professors, other parents and see the school that their child will be attending. This will help house and school unity and will let the new students get a feel of the school before they start in September. In the evening there will also be a dance.

Yours sincerely

Headmistress McGonagall."

Harry stared at the letter and re read it twice. He then looked at his son drawing. Albus was going to start Hogwarts this year. Harry thought back to when he graced those hallowed halls. He remembered defeating Voldermort in his seventh year in the battle of Hogwarts making him more of a national hero.

He had married Ginny as soon as they left school and he started his auror training while Ginny became a quidditch player for the Hollyhead harpies. They had had James a year after that and Albus 5 years later. They now lived in grimauld place with their children. Harry was now the head of his department and Ron was his right hand man. Ron had graduated as well and just got into auror training. He was now happily living with lavender brown and their son Hugo who was 11. Everyone had thought that he and Hermione were going to get married however that never seemed to happen.

Hermione. Harry remembered Hermione. She had graduated Hogwarts with flying colours which weren't surprising since she was the brightest witch of the age. They had kept in touch early on however due to intense auror training, Ginny playing matches and going on tour she seemed to drift apart from everyone and neither Harry nor Ginny had heard that much about what had happened to her. Christmas and birthday cards were still sent although harry didn't know whether she had married or had children or even what job she had. Harry remembered her acting differently just before the battle, agitated and distant. Maybe that is what caused her and Ron to break up? He wondered.

Harry still kept in touch with Luna and Neville. They had gotten married the day after graduation and Luna had their daughter 9 months later. Lucinda her name. They also had a daughter Isabella starting in September.

Ginny walked in and saw her husband holding the letter.

"I see that we got one too then. Lavender just flooed and told me about it. I wonder who will be there?" Ginny said as she sat down on the sofa opposite. Harry snapped out of his daze.

"I don't know gin but I know that Luna and Neville will be there and so will Ron and lavender. Seamus and his son Finn will most likely be going with parvati. I think it's a good idea we attend. Albus could meet some of his other classmates. We will also be able to meet james's girlfriend and her parents since apparently her little brother is starting in September "

Ginny nodded. "well we better reply then don't we? Albus what do you think of seeing your new school and meeting some of your classmates?"

Albus looked up at his parents. The green orbs shining. He nodded.

"honey im home" draco called as took his coat off and hung it up on one of the many pegs.

"daddy you're home!" called Mirana as she into the hall in fairy costume. Icarebeth closely in a princess suit followed and both of the little girls flung themselves into their fathers arms.

"hello my little princesses how was your day?"

"It was really good!" replied Iracebeth. " we played dress up with mummy and then watched fi ...f...f"

"films?" draco asked. His little girl nodded her head.

"yea we watched Aladdin and cinderelly!"iracebeth said determined

"daddy" it was Mirana this time and she tugged his suit trousers. " daddy can i show you my princess house and painting? I have a present for you too."

"alright then girls well let daddy put his bag down and then i will come and see my two little princesses and their castle."

The two three year olds nodded and ran off giggling. Draco smiled and sighed as he took his scarf off and put his bag and keys down.

" hey dad how was your day?" it was scorpius and he walked down the stairs in some grey sweats and blue t shirt. He was the image of his father.

"long and rough son. Where's your mother?"

"oh she's feeding melody who started to kick up a fuss she'll be down in a minute."

"ok then. How was your day?" draco replied.

"not too bad. leon came over and we practised a little quidditch. However it was then dress up time for the girls and i think Mirana has a little crush on zabini."

Draco chuckled at this.

"who doesn't scorpius. He is just like his father and has his mother, pansy's cunningness. He could get any girl whether she is 3 or 15 to fall over him. "

" yea well i said i would help mum with the dinner so i better get going before she comes down"

"yes go on and ive got to go and see two little princesses" draco replied as he could spot two little heads pop away around the corner and some giggling to be heard.

Draco walked through to the den and was mess with a pink mess. The tv was playing Cinderella and there was a large tent made out of blankets and magic, looking like a replica of their house standing proud. There was the toy kitchen the little red table and chairs and lots of dolls, dressing up clothes, paper, pens, glitter and ribbons everywhere. In the middle of this were the two little girls playing house.

Draco walked over to the makeshift door and pessed the fabric door bell

"ding dong" he called.

"he's here he's here." declared iracebeth from inside and she opened up the flap. " hello who is it?"

Draco smiled "why its prince charming of course. Can i come in girls?"

Iracebeth nodded and dragged him inside and made him sit down on one of the little red chairs.

"daddy here's my present. It's a picture of all of us!" cried Mirana with a beaming smile, shoving the piece of paper in front of his face.

"wow mirry sweetheart. It's beautiful. I love it."

"see look" mirana replied adn pointed her little finger at the figures. "there's you and there's mummy holding melody. Melody is crying because she cries a lot and mummy gives her a lot of cuddles."

"oh really does she now?"

"yea and daddy can you tell melody to stop crying in the night because i want to get some sleep and i have tried but she won't listen to me. " the little girl pouted. The blonde curls falling over her face. She had a determined face that both him adn his wife had shared through many baby family photos.

"i'll try Mirana darling but melody is only a baby and so needs to be held in the middle of the night. Mummy and daddy had to do it with both you girls when you were babies." Draco replied. Mirana nodded and then smiled.

"ok then daddy. " she then turned back to the picture. "and daddy that scor, and there's Hayley, there's tarrent and then there is me and Iracy dressed as princesses! And we are in front of our castle. You're the king and mummy's the queen and we are all princes adn princesses."

"and I'm cinderelly daddy" called Iracebeth bringing him over a plastic cup "here's your tea daddy just like mummy does it. "

"thank you darling."

Draco played with his two girls for hours as they fed him all of their plastic toy food from their kitchen. He had to slay a couple of dragons and then they finally took the tent down after dinner and snuggled up with one either side of them as they watched a Disney film.

Draco's wife also joined them adn smiled at the picture adn so got the camera out. Draco was wearing a crown and a badge with a sword. She then also snuggled down with melody in her arms in the armchair soflty singing. Tarrent , Scorpius and Hayley also sat on the other sofa or on the floor. Hayley was reading a book and had her mother's thoughtful expression on her face. Tarrent was texting on his mobile phone and scorpius was half asleep.

Draco sighed. They had received the note from McGonagall today about the picnic and he wondered whether they would go. Of course it was good for Tarrant to meet some of his new classmates that he didn't already know but he and his wife had kept their noses well out of public life for years. The only news they heard from Hogwarts was through scorpius and Hayley in their letters otherwise they had a pretty muggle life. After the war they didn't want much to do with the wizarding world, but also his wife's preganacy with scorpius wasn't helpful since they knew that there would have been scandal. However draco was becoming the master of potions this year and so would have to attend whether the rest of his family did or not.

Draco cleared his mind and kissed the foreheads of his girls, picked them up in each arm and carried them up to bed as they had fallen asleep.
