This is the start of the summer for all the Prowl kids, it will start at the train station and probably cover the families adjusting to their new additions.

The group climbed off the train and all ran over to where the Weasley's and Marauders were stood, Draco had seen his parents but he ran none-the-less, his hair was messy rather than sleek like his parents had told him to keep it, they were all also wearing their Weasley jumpers and Muggle style outfits such as jeans and a tee-shirt for Draco and Evelyn's usual checked skirt and a black long sleeved top which helped cover the scars she got from her monthly transformation. Lucius and Narcissa looked to see Draco and when they found him they were shocked, he was running across the platform with the Weasley children and his 'cousins', his posture wasn't the one he had been taught, his hair looked like it hadn't been slicked back for weeks and they were right, he was looking behind him when he tripped over his feet.

Draco grabbed Sophia's hand as he tripped from losing concentration on where he was going and they all laughed as he pulled Sophia down with him, Emily helped him up while Lee helped Sophia up, and George lifted Draco as they all laughed, he had grazed his knee but it wasn't major. They met up with their families and all were chatting,
"Oh, school is amazing, it's HUGE, and Willow, they weren't joking the staircases MOVE! Draco is the Gryffindor seeker and I'm not even on the team." Harry spoke so fast it was impossible to understand him,
"Harry. Breathing is good for your health," Emily joked, they all headed off of the platform where the families were planning for all the kids to come to Marauders Manor at some point during to holiday.

The Weasley's all arrived at the Burrow and Draco was awestruck. He had grown up in a manner but this was so much better. It was more homely than anything he had ever seen, Fred and George hadn't let Draco out of their sight yet and he didn't mind, Ron also hadn't stopped glaring at Draco out of hatred, it seemed that Ron thought a name meant everything,
"It's not much, but it's home," George said,
"I think it's brilliant," Draco said looking around himself.
"Draco, dear, you'll be sharing a room with Ron, is that OK?" Asked Molly,
"Yeah, I don't have any problem with that. Do you, Ron?" Draco looked at him,
"No. No problem at all," Ron spoke through gritted teeth. Everyone went to unpack and Draco was the first done. He headed downstairs and saw Molly,
"Umm. Mrs Weasley, could you teach me how to cook?" Molly turned around and looked at the 12-year-old with a smile.

At the Marauder Manor, the group just arrived back, the twin girls looked around themselves, speechless; the manor was huge but welcoming with plants growing up the sides, surrounded by forest on all sides and a river flowing at the front of the house, a Quidditch pitch was the front garden complete with stands and broom sheds. Heading into the house everyone departed and Sirius began showing Sophia and Hermione the house. They entered the house and were met with a long bright corridor with red tapestry, there were wooden doors leading off the sides, the door at the other end of the corridor was made entirely from glass. The girls were gobsmacked, they looked around and saw Sirius walking towards one of the doors that was the stairs,
"Shall we go to your rooms?" The girls nodded and ran to catch up with him. As they reached one door there was a wooden panel with 'Hermione' written in swirled writing and an envelope engraved next to it. The door across the hall was identical apart from the word which read 'Sophia' with an owl engraved in the wood next to it.

The two girls went into their own rooms after being shown the rest of the house, Hermione instantly fell in love with her room, it was perfect; one half of the room, the walls were just bookshelves, in one of the bookshelves was a ladder that led up to a reading nook. The windowsill was cushioned with purple pillows and a gold blanket, the bed was set against another wall with a Muggle record player to the side of it. Hermione just let her jaw drop at the sight, after ditching her jacket she went to find Emily.

It took Hermione about ten minutes to find Emily's room, and as soon as she opened the door, she gasped; the room was a hexagonal shape with book cases making up the walls of one side of the room the rest was made up by two doors leading to a bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe, the light made the room look like a forest by casting shadows on the wall, on one wall where there isn't a bookshelf is a fireplace with a red sofa in front of it, at the opposite side of the room as a king-sized bed with lilac bedding on, at the far side of the room is a sitting room where there is a window looking out over the forest and river on the grounds below. Emily came back into her room with a bag of sweets and then grabbed her favourite book from the shelf, Hermione didn't have time to see the title before Emily went up a ladder into a reading nook in one of the walls. The last wall seemed to be filled with Quidditch supplies. Loud music was playing, Big Country with the Seer album, Emily was nodding along to the music while reading an old looking book. Hermione noticed a huge collection of records on one side of her bed and couldn't help but speak,
"How come you know so many Muggle songs?" Emily laughed slightly before sitting up and putting the bookmark back in her book,
"Grandpa was a Muggle-Born and he loved records so he buys me them every now and then. Also Nain was a Muggle and I see her quite often so she always takes me record shopping." Hermione nodded but Emily could see her confusion,
"Grandpa is my mum's dad, my mum's mum is known as Grams. My dad's dad is known as Pops while his mum is known as Nain which is Welsh for Grandma." Hermione nodded because it actually made sense to her, just then both girls realised that the record had ended, Emily swapped it for Ultravox Greatest Hits.
"So how many of you are there here?" Hermione asked,
"Well here there are ten of us. You, me, my mum – Tonks, my dad – Remus, your dad, - Sirius, James, Harry, Sophia and Willow. My dad is often called Moony, James is known as Prongs, Sirius is known as Padfoot. Like how you're known as Speedy, Harry's known as Flight, I'm known as Ice-Eye and such forth." Hermione nodded before the two girls climbed up into the reading nook where they stayed talking and laughing long into the afternoon, right up to the point where they were called down for dinner.

Everyone sat down as James dished the food up onto plates and told them to keep passing it round. As he looked up he saw that they were just keeping passing the plate around the table, no-one was putting them down,
"You brought that one on yourself Uncle Prongs," Emily said while laughing. After that they all began eating their meals while talking about how school was, Sophia seemed to join in easily but Hermione was having trouble, Emily leant over to her and whispered,
"If they say something just begin talking, eventually this lot shut up and listen, when they do start from the beginning, you can talk about anything at the table, we have meals like this just so people can say what they want," Hermione smiled at Emily.

Dinner continued with civilised conversation when Lily directed a question at Hermione and Emily,
"Professor Dumbledore sent us an owl last week Emily, telling us that you had broken your record of detentions, apparently you have made an ally of Hermione in your prankster group," Emily was quick to begin eating again and the Marauders all looked at each other before they all began chuckling slightly, Hermione spoke,
"Well we didn't hurt anyone too badly," Emily was smiling proudly to Hermione while Sophia looked at her disapprovingly. This seemed to be happening a lot more recently, almost as if something happened between the sisters,
"I thought you were the sensible one out of the pair of us?" Sophia asked quite spitefully, Emily looked slightly angry at Sophia and this made the adults think that something went on during the school year,
"Well Hermione isn't an amateur, and we make sure that she isn't caught too often. She spends the time researching. Oh by the way, you can have this back," Emily slid the Marauders Map across the table, all the Marauders looked at her confused while Hermione, Emily and Harry beamed proudly,
"We don't need it anymore," Lily, Willow and Sophia looked at the rest of the occupants of the table with utter confusion as the Marauders and Tonks began clapping the three kids who got up and bowed.

Dinner at the Burrow was an experience entirely for Draco, Molly was fussing over him, making sure that he was getting enough to eat, Charlie and Bill were sat at one end of the table with Percy who looked displeased, Ginny was sat next to Ron who was opposite Fred and George who were sat on either side of Draco, Molly and Arthur were at the top of the table. The conversations were going between different groups when the conversation turned to Draco, Charlie looked at him,
"I hear that you made the Gryffindor team, what position you play?" Draco looked shy but spoke anyway,
"Seeker, the twins said that you were one when you were at school Charlie," Charlie laughed at his newest 'brother',
"That's right, loved every second of it, great fun," Draco agreed eagerly, the conversation became about Quidditch and Ron was feeling ignored.

After dinner the family went into the living room where Fred, George and Draco were talking, Draco noticed that George seemed a little out of it,
"What's wrong, George, you look... worried," George looked at Draco and smiled lightly,
"I'm just worried about Emily, the nightmares have been worse this year than before," Draco nodded,
"Well she has her family with her, and Hermione, and Harry, they'll all look out for her, besides isn't she coming over next week,"
"You have a point there, Snow-Flake. C'mon lets go and get some sleep," Draco was hugged by each of the twins, Fred whispered to him,
"If Ron gives you a hard time our room is just across the hall," Draco smiled before heading to bed.

Emily lay sound asleep when Hermione snuck in, Emily subconsciously lifted the duvet to allow space for Hermione, Hermione noticed the tears running down Emily's cheeks and hugged the older girl. Emily seemed to relax slightly. Hermione went back to her room, happy that the older girl was sleeping soundly. About an hour later, she heard the creaking of floorboards and a voice that was familiar enter Emily's room, she realised it was Emily's dad.

Remus stood in the doorway of Emily's room knowing that her nightmares were always worse on the first night home, he quickly realised that she was shaking while she slept, he came over to her and woke her carefully, she woke and collapsed into his arms crying heavily.

When the next morning arose no-one went to wake Emily, Sophia kept saying that someone should to which Hermione whispered,
"I'd like to see ya try," she smirked into the cup of tea that she had been given, Sophia glared at her sister angrily. The adults all looked at each other and smiled, Hermione definitely had inherited Sirius' sarcasm while Sophia had inherited Marlene's temper. While they all stood in the kitchen, Emily came in and hopped up to sit on the kitchen counter where Tonks passed her a cup of tea. The group all laughed at her. Hermione had noticed that Emily liked to sit on anything but a chair, always sitting on the table or the floor, Hermione had never understood why though. Emily's mind seemed far away and Tonks noticed, she walked over to where Emily was and hugged her. Emily smiled,
"Thanks mum." Her voice was gentle, something which Hermione had only heard a handful of times, Emily's eyes were red and puffy like she had been crying. Her hair was a mess, it seemed paler than normal as well. Her clothes were just baggy. Hermione came over to her friend and wrapped her arms around her tightly, Emily wrapped her arms around her friend before motioning for her to follow her back upstairs.

The two girls went into Emily's room, Emily closed the door softly, the fire was crackling gently in the corner as Emily led Hermione to the red sofa, the two sat and Emily broke down crying into her friend's arms.
