"HEY!" Four different voices cried.

Jono smirked and ducked from the room to avoid the insults that were being rapidly hurled at him. The younger three, however, simple ate on; the conversation going completely over their heads.

"I'm seeing Draco today, I'm seeing Draco today," Skye chanted continuously as she danced around the house. "I'm seeing Draco today, I'm..."

"SHUT UP!" Harry yelled, completely fed up with his sister.

"But I'm excited," Skye whined.

"Please Skye," Harry begged. "It's bad enough that you're dating him so can you please, please, please not go around advertising the fact?"

"Besides," Ri said, appearing with a pop behind the pair. "Didn't you see him the other day?"

"Yeah but today I get to see him for as long as I want!" Skye cheered. "Anyway, why are you here?"

"I'm dropping off something for your mother," Ri explained, holding up a plate. "Mum borrowed it for goodness knows what. I'll see you two at school!"

"Yeah, later Ri," Skye waved at her friend, still hyper-active.

"Have you had sugar today?" Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Nope," Skye grinned. "Just lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of coffee!"

"Oh god," Harry banged his head against the table. "Haven't I already suffered enough?"

"Hey!" Skye exclaimed. "That's not fair!"

"It is so," Harry argued. "You woke us all at four this morning."

Skye pouted. "You just don't share my enthusiasm for..."

"Going back to school?" Iris entered the room.

"NO!" Skye cried. "For seeing my perfect, loving boyfriend who's written to me everyday..."

"Oh please," Harry gagged. "I'm going to be sick."

"Just because you don't have anyone special," Iris glared at her brother. "I'll have you know that I'm happy to see Dan again."

"Don't remind me," Harry groaned. "Can't you just not date until you're at least thirty?"

"HA!" Iris snorted. "You wish."

"That I do," Harry muttered as Iris left the room. "That I do."

Skye rolled her eyes. "She's fourteen, Harry," she said. "She knows what she's doing."

"That's not the point!" Harry argued weakly.

"I know," Skye nodded solemnly. "It's the fact that she's your little sister and you don't want to have to accept that she's growing up."

Skye laughed at the look on her twin's face and skipped over to him, planting a kiss on his cheek before turning to leave the room to triple check her trunk.

"Hang on a second," Harry frowned, eyeing his sister. "What are you wearing?"

"Oh please not this again!" Skye continued on her way out of the room.

Harry, however, was not going to let her go. He grabbed her arm and looked her up and down.

Skye raised an eyebrow, and bit back the comment on the tip of her tongue.

"I look perfectly okay," Skye said instead, trying to keep her annoyance out of her tone.

Today, Skye had opted for a black skirt that reached mid-thigh, a colourful singlet top and awesome Prada heels.

"I don't like it," Harry said bluntly. "Go change."

"I'm not changing," Skye said determinedly. "Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone else won't either."

"That's what I'm worried about," Harry said darkly.

"Oh please," Skye waved a hand impatiently. "I have a boyfriend."

"I don't like you seeing him looking like that," Harry insisted.

"Come on!" Skye exclaimed angrily. "I'm not changing because you want me to."

"Dad!" Harry appealed to their father who was conveniently just passing through. "Tell Skye to go change."

"Skye, go change," James said, barely glancing at his daughter.

"You didn't even look!" Skye cried.

"Just go change," James said, more firmly this time. "Harry's right. You need to put more clothes on."

"I'm not going to," Skye narrowed her eyes.

"Well I'm not taking you to Kings Cross then," James shrugged. "Your choice."

Skye's mouth dropped upon at the injustice of the situation.

"This is so not fair!" Skye ranted, stomping out of the room.

"Whoa," Jono dodged around his fuming sister. "What's got you looking like you've been banned from seeing Malfoy?"

"Harry," Skye snarled, storming up to her room.

Skye slammed her door, letting out a scream of anger. This was so unfair! She hated how Harry thought he could control her. And then her father!

Skye threw on a light jacket over her ensemble and headed back down to the kitchen. Harry eyed her critically, but Skye ignored him. She was so over his controlling streak!

"Let's go," she said as calmly as she was able.

"Good idea sweetheart," Lily said entering the room. "I don't want to be rushed again."

"Like that's not going to happen," Cathy laughed. "We're rushed every single time we ever even think about heading to Kings Cross."

"Tell me about," Skye agreed. "And you've only been doing it for a year!"

"Skye have you seen my cat?" Iris asked worriedly, approaching her sisters.

"Um, I think I saw Zach take her a while back," Mickey said thoughtfully.

"WHAT?" Iris shrieked. "You let him take my cat?"

Zach was just discovering how to control his magic and his favourite thing to do was experiment with different objects. Unfortunately for Iris, he loved using live test subjects.

"Chill Iri," Skye advised. "Your cat will be fine. Speaking of, seen Socks?"

"Yeah, in the garden chasing gnomes," Jono told his sister.

"Oh god, not again," Skye sighed.

Ever since Socks had first laid eyes on the little creatures living in the backyard, she had not been able to leave them alone. Every holidays, Socks would make her way out the back to chase the gnomes.

Skye left to find her kitten, shaking her head. She nearly ran into Lucas who was busy drawing tiny snitches up his arms.

"Watch it!" Lucas said. "You nearly made me stuff up!"

"Sorry Luc," Skye apologized. "Nice drawings."

"Thanks," Luc responded absently, continuing his artwork.

Skye continued on her journey to the backyard, wincing when she heard her mother's shrill voice.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Lily shrieked.

Evidently, Lily did not approve of Luc tattooing himself.

"AND CAN YOU ALL PLEASE HURRY UP?"

Skye sighed, gathering up Socks in her arms. Lily always got stressed out when it was time for the kids to get back to school. It always amused Skye that Lily just couldn't be late for the train.

Sure, it would leave, but Skye thought that Lily should at least try to act as though she wanted them to stay. Lily loved her children, that were for sure, but Skye realised that the holidays were just too long. She understood that ten children could be a little bit of a handful at times.

Finally, the Potter's arrived at the platform. Seeing a flash of white-blonde hair, Skye chocked back a shriek. She instead decided to hand her trunk to her loving twin ("Don't you have your own arms?" he grumbled) and made her way swiftly over to her boyfriend.

"DRACO!" Skye called.

Draco spun around and his whole face lit up.

"Skye," he said.

Giggling, Skye threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly. Draco placed a kiss on her lips and Skye sighed into it, instinctively deepening the embrace.

"Oh please," a voice groaned behind them. "Get a room."

Skye pulled away from her now scowling boyfriend to face a grinning Blaise.

"Hey Blaise," she said, giving him a hug. "How was your holiday?"

"Oh you know," Blaise said vaguely. "It was fine."

Skye smirked at him. "Didn't see Ginny did you?"

The pair still hadn't told anyone, bar their friends, about their relationship.

"No," Blaise sighed. "Ginny's waiting for the right time to tell everyone."

"Maybe she should just come up and snog you in front of the Great Hall?" Draco suggested, grinning at Skye. "That seems to be quite effective."

"Oh, but she should announce it to the whole Common Room first," Skye added. "Can't forget that."

Blaise shook his head. "You are something different Skye Potter," he said.

"Ah," Skye sighed. "But you love me."

"I hope not," Draco laughed, wrapping an arm around Skye's waist. "She's all mine."

"Sorry Draco," Skye said sadly. "But we're just not going to work. Blaise is the only one for me."

Blaise nodded solemnly, playing along.

"Yeah, sorry mate," he said. "But we just couldn't help falling in love."

"If that wasn't Skye you were talking to, I would be quite upset," Ginny's distinctive voice sounded from behind them.

"GINNY!" Blaise exclaimed, spinning around to face his girlfriend.

Blaise bent down and kissed Ginny deeply.

"Erk," Skye grinned at her boyfriend. "Now who needs to get a room?"

"Oh, let them go," Draco smirked cheekily at his girlfriend. "At least now we get some time alone."

"Alone?" Skye asked incredulously. "Is that what you call this?"

She gestured to the crowded platform.

"Those two need to be careful," she added as an afterthought. "There's no telling who's...HERMIONE!"

Skye threw her arms around her friend, hugging her.

"How are you?" she asked excitedly. "I feel like I've barely spoken to you over the hols!"

"You haven't," Hermione grinned. "But I'm okay. How are you Draco?"

"Oh don't worry about him," Skye interrupted, before Draco could answer. "I want to know all about France."

"Well," Hermione began grinning. "It was absolutely amazing. I wish you could have been there. We went skiing in the alps and it was the best thing I've ever done in my life."

"Ah," Skye sighed dreamily. "I wish I could have come!"

"You should have!" Hermione said. "It would have been great to have some company."

"I hate to interrupt," Ri came up behind the group. "But your parents want to say goodbye Skye. As do mine."

Skye rolled her eyes. "Sure, sure," she said.

"I'll see you on the train then," Draco said, kissing Skye quickly.

"Oh I don't think so," Ri said, smirking now. "They want to meet you."

"WHAT?" Skye asked. "I thought I made it perfectly clear to my mother that that was just not going to happen."

Ri shrugged. "You're Dad said something about meeting him or transferring you to Beuxbatons."

Skye rolled her eyes. "Typical Dad," she laughed. "Come on then Draco, I'm sorry about this."

"Don't be," Draco muttered. "It was going to happen eventually."

"Just," Skye hesitated, biting her lip. "Don't take anything they say too personally okay? Mum's fine about us, but I'm not so sure about Dad and Uncle Sirius. They were a bit shocked when they found out."

"How shocked?" Draco asked weakly.

"Oh very," Skye assured her boyfriend. "They didn't believe me at first."

Skye took Draco's hand and led him through the crowd.

"There they are," Skye pointed out, squeezing Draco's hand reassuringly. "I'm sure they'll love you."

"If they don't kill me first," Draco mumbled.

"There you are Princess!" James exclaimed, upon seeing her. "I thought you weren't going to come back."

"Of course I was," Skye rolled her eyes and pulled Draco forward. "This is..."

"Mr Malfoy," James finished for her, eyeing Draco sternly. "It's nice to finally meet the boy who captured my daughter's heart."

Draco gulped. This wasn't looking good.

A/N So it's a bit of a longer chapter and now that they're back at school things with Harry are going to start moving very quickly! So, review and I'll update sooner...
