Hermione and Draco led four of their five children through the barrier to the platform. Emily was off who knows where with her boyfriend. The eldest of the four children with them, at eighteen years old, was Amber happy to send her brother off to Hogwarts, and she was even happier that he offered to take her with him pretending she was his pet. The next in line, Scorpius Draconious Malfoy at age 11 was excited that he was going for his first year at Hogwarts as his younger siblings Persephone Rose and Poseidon Jacob complained that they still had to wait three and four years respectively for their turn to go.
Amber barked at the complaining children thinking of her disappointment when her parents, in their animangus forms, had explained to her why she would never get to go to Hogwarts. She was glad her brother cared enough to take her with him, and she was even gladder still that he had begged their parents to allow him to become an animangus so that the two of them could talk about his day at school each night. Like Amber and Draco, Scorpious became a Yorkie, but he had the normal markings of the breed only having his father'a silver-blue eyes to show he wasn't really a dog.
"Draco, Hermione," Ron Weasley and his wife greeted Amber'a parents running to give them hugs.
"Careful, Ron," Hermione warned. "You might squish the twins."
"What?" Ron asked her. "Are you pregnant again?"
Hermione nodded, and she went off to chat with her friend as Draco noticed his son's expression.
"What's the matter, Scorp?" Draco asked the boy.
"What if I get put in Slytherin? Teddy told me that only bad wizards get put there," Scorpious replied.
"Scorpious Hypernion Malfoy," Draco began. "Do you know what house I was in at Hogwarts?"
"No," Scorp whimpered.
"I was in Slytherin, and so was your Uncle Blaize. Do we seem evil to you?"
"No," the boy shook his head.
"Exactly, but if you're worried, your mother told me that you can choose your house. The sorting hat takes into account what you wish for. So, you can ask for Gryffindor, and be like your mother."
"Okay, thanks, dad," he smiled before grabbing Amber and running off to find his cousin Rose.
"You handled that well, Malfoy," Draco heard the voice of Harry Potter behind him. "I had to tell Al the same thing."
"On speaking terms now, are we, Potter?" Draco growled slightly.
"I'm sorry for how I've acted for the past 18 years," Harry replied. "I realized that Emily is not defined by her lineage."
Draco nodded, "I'm sure Hermione'll be glad to hear that. She's missed you a lot."
"I know. I've already talked to her. Friends, Draco?" Harry held out his hand.
"Friends, Harry," Draco replied taking the proffered hand.
