I don't own Harry Potter.

The station was crowded as always. Thick steam fogged up Harry's glasses as he walked up to the train with his children. Ginny was talking to Hermione as they went through the wall. Suddenly Lily ran to the left.

"Scorpius!"

"Lily!"

Ron for no apparent reason felt like joining in.

"Hermione!"

He hugged her and Hermione muttered get off you prat while they watched the small blonde boy hug Lily.

"Hey dad! Dad! Meet Scorpius!"
Lily towed the boy up to Harry and stepped back. When he spoke Scorpius sounded oddly like a bee-gee (A/N Remember them? The weirdly high blokes?)

"Erm...Hi."

Ron laughed and Hermione hit him as Scorpius turned Scarlett. Lily frowned at her favourite uncle.

"Scorpius! Don't worry Astoria he's over here!"

Draco Malfoy froze as he found himself with Harry Potter.

"Hello Malfoy."

"Potter. Ah you must be Lily."

Scorpius was looking worriedly between the two men. Lily wasn't fazed at all however.

"Yes I'm Lily Potter."

She thrust her hand out and Draco shook it looking slightly amused at her boldness.

"Very nice to meet you Lily."

The strangest thing is that he actually sounded like he meant it. The whistle went.

"Aww merlin now we'll be stuck with the compartment that smells like stinksap. Oh well. Bye mum! Bye dad!"

She kissed each of her family members and Scorpius did the same to his. Lily seemed to be struggling with her trunk. Scorpius lugged his up the steps before returning to Lily.

"Here let me."

She thanked him as he dragged it up. They waved from the doorway their calls almost being erased by the train whistle as it set off. The two children walked down the corridor and Draco Malfoy turned to the others.

"Well I suppose we'll be seeing much more of each other now eh?"

Harry smiled slightly at his attempt at friendliness.

"Yes I suppose so."

Draco introduced his wife Astoria before they all headed back towards the wall.

*~*~*

Lily and Scorpius sat in the compartment. They were playing wizard chess and Lily was losing. Badly.

"And...check. Gosh Lily you weren't kidding you really suck at this."

She giggled.

"I inherited that from my dad."

"Hmm what should you give me as a gift for winning?"

She seemed to think about something for a moment. Then she leaned over the board and gave him a kiss. Her lips brushed his gently and he blushed.

"How was that?"

Scorpius did his world-class impression of a bee-gee again.

"Rematch?"

They played again and yet again Scorpius won. He was about to ask for yet another winning gift when James rapped on the door.

"Hey love-birds robes! We're almost there."

Lily left first. Before Scorpius stood up he thought quietly about the events of the train ride. They were not unpleasant memories.
