Chapter 4-Welcome back to Hogwarts
One by one the families got off the train as they walked towards the carriages. While anyone who was here for the war, they could see the Thestrals. The children could not as Nate pointed out to his parents. Hermione and Harry looked at each other with sad smiles. Hopping that their son will never get a chance to see Thestrals. The Potters and Malfoys got on the carriage as Neville and Luna stayed behind to hold off any of the red head family. Nate sat in-between Harry and Hermione looking right at Rory. Harry smiled at his son as Nate made faces at Rory. Draco watched her daughter thinking that he has never seen her smile and laugh this much. Of course leave it to the spawn of Harry Potter. Hermione was watching Draco, trying to think of a girl that Draco would like. He may have said that as a joke. But Hermione is now determined to find him a women. I mean once you tell Hermione Granger to do something, she will figure a out a way to accomplish it. Landon's mouth dropped when he saw the castle. Getting Nate and Rory's attention the children were excited to get inside once they saw the outside. The adults on the other had while they were excited were also nervous. Harry reached around Nate and rubbed Hermione's back.
As the families got out of the carriage Harry grabbed Nate and put him on his shoulders. "There now you can see everything Nate."
Looking at everything. "Daddy this is so cool! You really went here?!"
"We really went here." Hermione said laughing at her son as she hooked her arm with Harry's. "You ready for all of this?"
"With you I'm ready for anything." Harry said with a small smile.
They entered the castle and were directed straight to the Great Hall. As they entered the Hall instead of seeing 4 long tables for the houses there were tables that held at 8. With Draco walking right next to them they let the kids find somewhere to sit. The kids found a table that Neville and Luna were already sitting at. Harry could feel everyone staring at their table. Turning around his feeling was correct. Every head was turned towards their table.
"Mommy daddy why is everyone staring at us? Its really creepy." Nate said very loudly. Everyone heard him but it made them want to know exactly where in America Harry and Hermione disappeared too.
"Because Nate no one here in England can mind their own damn business." Draco answered for Harry and Hermione. After the Slytherin Prince finished glaring at everyone, McGonagall came up to the podium.
"Welcome to Hogwarts! Everyone please find your seats! I'm sure that Harry and Hermione would like to enjoy this visit without getting stared at every two seconds." She waited for everyone to sit down before she began her speech. "Now its been 5 years after the light defeated the dark. Everyone dealing with it in different ways. After a very nice donation from Draco Malfoy, we were finally able to finish building where magic couldn't touch. Now for this weekend we will all be staying here hopefully in peace. We will be having a quidditch matches. Every house will create a team. You will still be in the same houses as you were in school. Now for the captains. For Hufflepuff Zacharias Smith. For Ravenclaw Roger Davies. For Slytherin Draco Malfoy. For Gryffindor Harry Potter. Now to sign up for the teams you must sign up in your common rooms. There are no passwords for these common rooms so anyone from a different house may enter a different common room. Now there will be small lessons with the new Professors. You can go to these classes if you want to but obviously not required too as there won't be any tests after. Now enjoy the feast!" As the headmistress said these words food appeared onto the table. Hermione helped Nate get food on his plate as Harry filled his cup with juice.
"Daddy it is so cool that you are going to be quidditch captain! When do I get to fly a broom?" Nate asked eating his chicken leg.
As Hermione was fillng up her own plate. "Not for a very long time if I have anything to do about it. But I know that if you are anything like your father you will be scaring me half to death once you get on the broom."
"I have no idea what you are talking about. I am very graceful on a broom. It was everyone else who was trying to knock me off." Harry said looking right at Draco.
"What are you looking at me for? I seem to recall many other creatures trying to get you to fall off your broom." Draco said defensively. "Yes I did also help in that category. Sue me."
Everyone but Hermione started laughing at Draco's response. Hermione was too busy watching the Wesley family to even hear what Draco said. The only ones to show up were Arthur, Molly, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny. Fred and George were laughing about something with their father, Ron was stuffing his face, till this day Hermione has no idea why she found him attractive. While Ginny and Molly were whispering to each other as they glanced over to her table. She wanted to know what they were talking about.
"Moine whats wrong?" Harry said looking concerned.
Looking over at Harry. "I've just got a bad feeling. We need to talk to them before they do something stupid."
Nodding his head, Harry stood up."Can you guys keep an eye on Nate for us? We have something to deal with."
As Neville agreed, Harry and Hermione walked out the Great Hall making sure that someone in the Wesley family saw them. They took a seat on the staircase waiting for someone to come out. Hermione spotted Ron walking over to them. Standing up she got a little bit more in front of Harry, knowing that she needed to deal this with Ron before Harry did.
"Hi Hermione." Ron said standing in front of her. "I didn't even think that you would show up."
"Of course we showed up. We can't hide away forever. Even though it would be nice if we could." Hermione said crossing her arms.
Ron nodded his head. "So I've done some growing up if you believe it or not. But I just wanted to apologize for what I did and what my mum did after the break up. I shouldn't have said what I said and mum shouldn't have even thought about giving you a love potion. We both know that it wouldn't be real if you were under a potion. Why mum thought it was a good idea I don't know."
"Your mum wanted us to be a big happy family. Which we could have been, even after our break up. We don't work." Hermione said pointing between her and Ron.
Rubbing the back of his head "Yeah I know, we would've killed each other by now. All that fighting we did. It just made sense at the time. Now not so much. How we made it just being friends for the first 7 years."
"Makes no bloody sense." The curly haired girl said while winking.
Smirking slightly. "So can we try to be friends again? All of us."
"Of course we can't break up the true Golden Trio." Hermione said holding her arms out. Ron hugged her back as Harry stood up.
"Well I should go get Draco then." Harry said turning back towards the Great Hall.
"Oh bloody hell mate!" Ron exclaimed as he pushed Harry around.
"You know I'm kidding. I missed you Ron." Harry said as the two wizards hugged. "We got a lot to catch up on. Mainly with you growing up. I want to know her name."
Pulling away "How do you know it was a girl?"
"Ron, I'm the Chosen One. I know all."
SIghing and shaking his head. "That one of the things I missed. Harry's jokes."
"They have only gotten worse, now that he's become a dad." Hermione said standing in-between them as the walked back to the Great Hall. "But really whats her name."
"Fine, her name is Monica Kahne. She's a muggle so that's why she not here and why everyone thinks I'm single. We met a couple of months after you left. Her aunt and uncle are magical so I didn't have to hide my true self for very long. We were friends until a couple weeks ago. We just started dating."
"Well I'm glad it isn't Lavender. She was nice, but I don't want to see you two snogging all the time." Harry said jokingly leading them back to their table.
"Shut up Harry." Ron said sitting down next to Nate. "Who are you?"
"I'm Nate Potter. Who are you?" Nate said looking up at the red headed wizard.
"I'm Ron Wesley. Your parents best friend." Ron said looking down at Nate.
Nate smiled "Do you like quidditch?"
"Of course I do." Ron said. The two then began talking about quidditch, because if you like quidditch you are good in the eyes of Nate Potter.
