˜Chapter2˜

Hermione chuckled as she looked at her daughter engrossed in her book.

"Do you want a cookie, sweetie?" She asked.

Soteira nodded, her eyes still glued to the book in front of her, "Yes please."

"Soteira is just like a mini version of you, Hermione." Ginny commented as she, Hermione and Lavender chuckled.

The Malfoys, Potters, Zanibis and Weasleys had all gathered in the garden at Malfoy Mannor. The mothers, currently seated at the table, engrossed in conversation, while the fathers had settled for a small game of Quidditch with the children.

Ron was helping his daughter, Scarlet onto her broom while Harry was carefully putting on safety gears onto his daughter, Lily. The Malfoy twins had already begun circling the field with Blaise and Draco following behind. While Soteira opted to stay with her mother, reading the book Luna had brought for her.

"So...how're you two coping with sending your first child to Hogwarts?" Lavender asked folding her arms and giving Hermione and Luna a concerned look. "I know I went into a major depression when Violet left, the house was so quiet. Thankfully, there was still Roux and Scarlet to keep me company."

"With the twins still creating chaos here, I don't expect the house to be quiet for a good few years. It doesn't help that they both take after Draco as well." Hermione sighed. "But I know Screndus is going to have a wonderful adventure, that comforts me."

Luna smiled dreamily into the distance, "There were nargles everywhere at the platform, I'm positive they are going to have a great adventure."

All the women smiled at Luna, it was her own weird way in comforting them.

~Hp~

After the game, Scarlet had pulled Lily into the Malfoy garden in search for some magical animals.

"Don't go too far!"Ron called after his daughter.

Scarlet turned around and beamed at Ron, "We'll be fine, Dad!"

Scarlet was the sportier Weasley daughter, while Violet was more into fashion. Lily was a mini version of Ginny, Ron can't help but feel sorry for the two Potter brothers.

With only the Malfoy twins left of the children, they had opted to continue with their favourite sport.

"Dad! Come on! Throw the quaffle!" Scordius yelled across the field.

Scorpius nodded as well while waving his arms about frantically. "Do it again Dad! Again!"

Draco grinned as he wound back his arm and launched the quaffle across their garden. The twins shouted with glee as they watched it fly through the air to the other side of the garden and flew through homemade Quidditch hoops. The twins cried with cheers and they ran towards their father and flung themselves at his legs.

"Oh it was nothing, really." Draco chuckled smugly as the eyes of Ron, Harry and Blaise looked at him unimpressed.

"Malfoy, you throw like my grandma." Ron scoffed, rolling his eyes at Draco basking in the twins worshiping of him.

"Quick kids! Get your chocolate frogs from the table before your uncle Ron eats everything!" Draco cried as the twin's eyes widened in horror and dashed towards the table.

"Oi ferret!" Ron protested, "I do not eat everything!"

Blaise rolled his eyes, "Yeah and I'm into boys."

"Woah Zabini," Draco frowned, "Don't start confessing your love for me. I'm happily married already."

"Can it Ferret, I'm not gay!" Blaise shot back.

"Well." Harry laughed, "You never know"

"I have a very loving wife to prove that I'm straight!" Blaise exclaimed as he threw his hands up in the air, "I dare you to ask her about the time we-"

"Hold that!"Draco exclaimed as he noticed the twins running back with their chocolate frogs wrapped firmly in their hands. "Virgin ears present! I don't want you polluting their minds."

"Seriously Zabini" Ron said as he crossed his arms trying to suppress a laugh, "As if Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy here didn't put up enough R rated shows to pollute their virgin minds already."

"Oi Weasel!" Draco scowled as he felt a tug of a small hand on his shirt.

"Daddy what's a Virgin?" Scorpius asked innocently.

Draco looked down at his son with his mouth open. Harry, Ron and Blaise not even bothering to contain their laughter.

'Oh Merlin.' Was all Draco could say thinking about the whooping Hermione was going to give him for this.

~Malfoy Dining Hall~

"I could never get tired of eating at the Malfoy Manor." Ron rubbed his stomach in content.

Scordius scowled, "Uncle Ron, you ate our pudding!"

"And it was our favourite!" Scorpius huffed and folded his arms as his twin had.

"Well.."Ron smirked," That teaches you to eat faster next time huh? Ow!"

"Seriously! Ron!" Lavender frowned, "Arguing with two eight year olds?"

Everyone collectively rolled their eyes.

Draco sighed and asked the house elves to bring up two more cups of puddings.

"Scors, eat up before your uncle Ron eats them again." Draco warned.

Harry looked at the time, "Oh! Shouldn't the sorting ceremony be over by now?"

"Oh Merlin! Screndus hasn't sent any letters yet."Hermione gasped, "Something must have gone wrong! What if something broke into the castles again? What if-"

"Mione, the nargles would have warned us." Luna smiled comfortingly at her, attempting to calm her nerves but only creating more panic in Hermione. "They're completely safe."

"And it's more likely that Screndus would cook up the mess." Blaise chuckled, "I'm seeing the vision of the first expelled Malfoy in one hundred years already."

"Shut up, you git!" Draco snapped as he rested his hand Hermione's, squeezing it lightly.

And just when Hermione was about to completely lose it, Soteira pointed at the window and exclaimed, "Daddy! Mercus is here!"

They all turned to see Screndus's owl pecking at the window. Ginny rushed over and opened the latch. Mercus flew in and landed on the centre of the table. Hermione reached excitedly for the letter that was sandwiched between the owl's beak while Scorpius and Scordius grabbed some owl treats.

"Mark my words, Mr. Malfoy."Hermione smirked as she opened the letter, "Don't be surprised when Screndus gets into Griffyndor."

"I think we can all agree that he's one true Slytherin." Draco smirked back in response as he leaned back on his chair, "I'm so winning my prize tonight."

"I don't even want to know what you're winning." Blaise shuddered as he rolled his eyes at Draco.

Dear Mom and Dad,

Here's the letter you're asking for mom. I'm settling in just fine. The train ride was long but fun, please thank Uncle Harry for me for the candies he gave. Though Roux ate most of it again, we still enjoyed it. I also met a new friend, his name is Zachery Higgs, he said his dad knew dad. How could he not? Dad ruled the Slytherin in his days at Hogwarts, so that's what I told him.

Hogwarts was everything you said it was mom, it was so magical that it really outdid everything Hogwarts, A History described it to be. The Great Hall was indeed full of life, and the food was wonderful. I can imagine why Uncle Ron didn't want to leave Hogwarts.

Because Albus, Roux and Lukas where too lazy to write about the sorting ceremony, they've asked me to include it in mine, surely you could pass the message on?

Albus got into Griffyndor, no shocker there. Roux too, guess you'll have to pay uncle Ron for losing the bet, dad. Lukas is in Slytherin, so is Zach. Blaire is in Ravenclaw, but I personally think she should have been in Hufflepuff. The hat took such an awful long time with me that Professor Dumbledore was about to step in. It said something about knowing you two, Uncle Harry, and Uncle Ron. He also said something else at the end of the sorting I couldn't quite understand. He had wanted to put me in Ravenclaw, he said it'll be the easiest for the wits I had gained from my parents and it would make sense that I got sorted into that house. But then he said I had the courage of a Griffyndor, where mom had fitted in so well. But finally he told me that I was a true Malfoy and that's how I ended up in Slytherin.

He then said, "More ashes shall fall from what was once ashes. Again the dark swirls for the new. Likewise, the Phoenix shall rise once more to be in flames. Fear shall take the greatest treasure of all. Over the unending green line of trees. Your precious one will be covered in red so bright and deep like blood."

I can't understand what it's supposed to mean, but it sounds…familiar. Answer me soon? I'm settling into my room now and, Yes mom, I read through my timetable already.

Love,

Screndus A. Malfoy

P.S. Dad, the bed here is indeed unbelievably hard and small. Could you please send in some new mattresses and pillows?

"I told you my boy would be in Gryffindor!" Ron smiled clapping his hands together.

Draco rolled his eyes, "Yeah yeah, I still think Hufflepuff would have suited him better."

Everyone chuckled.

Draco turned to smirk at Hermione, "Would you look at that, Mrs. Malfoy? A true Slytherin in the making. He even picked up the Malfoy attitude…Ow! Mione!"

Hermione rolled her eyes at her husband, "And I thought you had taught him some manners."

Everyone laughed, except for Harry, who had worries written in his eyes due to the sorting hat's words.

An eerie feeling crept up his spine, warning him.
