"Have you got everything?" Hermione kissed Milah's head.

"Yes, mother, I have everything." Milah laughed. Draco hugged Milah and rubbed his hand on her head.

"Be good for Hagrid." He said.

"I will." Milah promised.

"I love you." Hermione said as she slipped her hand into Draco's.

"I love you to." Milah answered.

"First years come with me! Hurry now! This way!" Hagrid called. Milah turned and scampered away.

"Bye mum! Bye dad!" She called over her shoulder. Hermione leaned her head against Draco's shoulder, he picked up their carry-ons and they walked off in the opposite direction, her head still resting against him. Harry and Ron joined them as they walked.

"Is she gone?" Ron asked.

"For now." Hermione replied.

"She's very sweet." Harry said. Hermione lifted her head up and smiled at him.

"You're quite attached to her, aren't you?" Hermione asked.

"She reminds me of you." He replied.

"That's not all." Hermione guessed. They came to the carriages pulled by the thestrals. Nearly everybody in Hogwarts could now see them, they'd all lost a friend, a teacher or perhaps even a loved one in the Battle Of Hogwarts the year before. They climbed into a carriage. Ginny quickly ran up, followed by Luna and Neville.

"Mind if we join you?" Ginny grinned as the carriage started to move. The three of them were still running along beside the carriage.

"Not at all." Harry grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

Hermione and Ron reached down for Luna, she reached up and they grabbed her arm, pulling her up. Then they went back for Neville.

After they'd pulled the three of them up, they all sat staring at each other.

"Why is Malfoy in the carriage?" Neville asked as he, Luna and Ginny eyed Draco up. Hermione grinned and leant into Draco's body, he placed an arm on her side.

"Oh." Ginny and Luna chorused.

"Right." Neville agreed.

"There's something you should know, by the way." Hermione began.

"They've got a little girl," Harry finished. "Milah."

"A daughter? How are you going to see her?" Ginny asked.

Draco, Ron, Hermione and Harry exchanged glances.

"Well, the thing is, when we got our letters through, I performed an ageing spell on her. She's with Hagrid now." Draco explained.

"She's here?!" Luna and Ginny chorused. Hermione nodded.

"You'll see her at the Sorting Ceremony." Ron replied.

"You'll be able to tell it's her. She looks like Hermione." Harry said.

They rode the rest of the way to the Castle in silence.
