Hogwarts was buzzing with activity, over half the students would be leaving soon for the winter break. That meant all the girls were getting in their last tearful goodbyes and all the guys had just started packing. Scorpius was in one of the corners of the library looking for a particular book. He knew the train would still not leave for a couple hours and he had nothing better to do.
Scorpius jumped in surprised when he felt two arms wrap around him. He swung around to see a mischievous smile on Albus' face. "What are you doing," Scorpius growled shoving Albus away from him.
"Well since we are leaving for winter break it will be a few weeks before we can see each other again and I was hoping to get a goodbye kiss," Albus said smirking.
Scorpius rolled his eyes, "Are you serious? What if someone saw?"
"No one is going to see, they are all getting ready to leave. Come on, can't you at least say you'll miss me." Albus had to be joking. Of course Scorpius would miss him, they had been dating for almost two months now and had yet to go a week without meeting up for a date in their secret room.
"Could I really tell you that with a kiss?" Scorpius asked turning back to the bookshelf that he had been examining before.
He shivered when he felt Albus wrapped his arms around his waist again and whisper in his ear, "No, but the risk of getting discovered would make it so much hotter." Scorpius couldn't disagree with that.
"Fine, one kiss," he said turning around so that he and Albus were standing nose to nose. Albus smiled as he waited for Scorpius to kiss him. Scorpius rolled his eyes, "You can really be demanding sometimes," he mumbled before closing the space between them.
The kiss lasted way longer then Scorpius had meant it to and when they drew away from each other they were both gasping for air. Albus started to snicker under his breath. "What is so funny?" Scorpius growled annoyed.
"If that is how you say goodbye, I can't wait to see how you say hello," he whispered before stepping back and walking away from Scorpius. Scorpius was left standing there with a red blush slowly forming on his face from all the ideas that were running across his mind about how he could say hello...
He snapped out of it when he heard the bell toll. "Crap!" he cursed as he left the library, he hadn't realized how late it was getting. The train would be leaving soon and they were probably already loading up.

Scorpius walked off the train and almost laughed when he saw the gang that was the Weasley/ Potter clan. They really were a big family, at least compared to his. He had no cousins and was an only child himself. Damn his father would be pissed if he ever found out that Scorpius liked guys, and not any guy but a Potter.
He grabbed his trunk and walked further up the platform wondering where his own family was. "Scorpius! Scorpius!" He looked to see his mother waving at him. He smiled and waved back to show that he had seen her. "It is so good to see you," she smiled hugging him when he had finally reached her.
"You will tell us all about how school has been going?" his father asked hugging him after his mother had let him go. Scorpius couldn't say that his father was as emotional as his mother but at the same time they were close. "When we get home maybe you can even try to beat me at wizard's chess," he laughed before walking towards the entrance way with his family following behind him.

Albus smiled as he watched Scorpius walk away with his family. When they were out of sigh he turned back to his own family. His aunt Hermoine and uncle Ron were there as well as his own parents. "How was your ride?" his mother asked hugging him and Lilly at the same time.
"It was good," Albus shrugged hugging her back. Lilly nodded in agreement so Ginny moved her attention over to James who had just gotten off the train.
"Come on we better get going. Your grandmother said she would have a dinner waiting for us all when we got back and we don't want dinner to get cold," Harry called getting all of their attention. Soon Albus, his siblings, and his cousins were all walking towards the exit wondering what their grandmother had made.

Molly Weasley bustled around the kitchen happy to have her entire family at her dinner table once again. There were times during the war that she had thought this day would never come, but here they all were. She stopped for only a second to smile at them before a pot started whistling calling her attention back to the kitchen.
Finally it was time for the meal and the roar of conversation continued as they all grabbed food and started eating. Harry was doing well in the ministry and Ginny was about to get a raise on her team. Hermoine had made up a new spell, this would be the fiftieth and Ron was busy at the ministry as well working with Harry.
She smiled as she finally looked down at her own food and started eating. This was her family and there was nothing that would threaten them. At least nothing that they wouldn't be able to handle.

Astoria set the food that she had made onto the table where her son and husband were sitting. She enjoyed these family dinners when it was just the three of them. It was strange, even when the rest of the wizarding world thought the family was cold and some even thought they were evil, they still seemed to have quite a few visitors.
She sat down next to her husband with her son across from them. She looked up when she started listening to what the two were talking about. "So I was talking to Pansy, it would seem Ivy is dating some boy from Gryffindor."
"Yes, his name is Lorcan."
"Lorcan? Isn't that Luna's son?" Astoria asked looking up from her plate. Scorpius nodded, he had never met Lorcan and Lysander's mother but according to his father she was an interesting person, to put it mildly. "I wonder if the families are going to get together to meet?" Astoria said thoughtfully.
Her husband just gave her a look, "I doubt that, the last time I checked the two of them were far from friends."
"Yes, but things change. I mean you would be fine if Scorpius decided to date anyone, even if it was a Weasely." The look that Draco gave his wife said that he would not be fine, in fact he looked horrified. "Draco?" Astoria asked in tone that said he better be fine with whatever their son did.
"It's fine mom! It's not like I would date any of them! The only one close to my age anyway is Rose and I've never even talked her," he laughed waving it off before turning back to his food.
"See, so there is nothing to even worry about," Draco said before standing up and walking away. Astoria sighed, she had thought after the war feelings like this had gone away. It would seem that she was wrong.
Scorpius watched his father walk out of the room. He sighed, there was no way that he could tell his father that he was dating Harry Potter's second son. Not only would he be dating a Potter but if they got any more serious there would be no more Malfoys.
Astoria could tell that something was bothering her son but she couldn't figure out what it was. She was about to ask when Scorpius stood up, "Thanks for dinner, I will be in my room working on some stuff," he smiled before walking away. Astoria sighed, so much for a family dinner.
