"I think that's them, Al," said Ginny suddenly.A group of four people emerged from the mist, standing alongside the very last<br/>carriage. Their faces only came into focus when Harry, Ginny, Lily, and Albus had drawn<br/>right up to them.<br/>"Hi," said Albus, sounding immensely relieved.<br/>Roses, who was already wearing her brand-new Hogwarts robes, beamed at him.<br/>"arked all right, then?" Ron asked Harry. "I did. Hermione didn't believe I could<br/>pass a Muggle driving test, did you? She thought I'd have to Confound the examiner."<br/>"No, I didn't," said Hermione, "I had complete faith in you."<br/>"As a matter of fact, I did Confund him," Ron whispered to Harry, as together<br/>they lifted Albus's trunk and owl onto the train. "I only forgot to look in the wing mirror,<br/>and let's face it, I can use a Supersensory Charm for that."<br/>Back on the platform, they found Lily and Hugo, Rose's younger brother, having<br/>an animated discussion about which House they would be sorted into when they finally<br/>went to Hogwarts.<br/>"If you're not in Gryffindor, we'll disinherit you," said Ron, "but no pressure."<br/>"Ron!"<br/>Lily and Hugo laughed, but Albus and Rose looked solemn.<br/>"He doesn't mean it," said Hermione and Ginny, but Ron was no longer paying<br/>attention. Catching Harry's eye, he nodded covertly to a point some fifty yards away. The<br/>steam had thinned for a moment, and three people stood in sharp relief against the<br/>shifting mist.<br/>"Look who it is."<br/>Draco Malfoy was standing there with his wife and son, a dark coat buttoned up<br/>to his throat. His hair was receding somewhat, which emphasized the pointed chin. The<br/>new boy resembled Draco as much as Albus resembled Harry. Draco caught sight of<br/>Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny staring at him, nodded curtly, and turned away again.<br/>"So that's little Scorpius," said Ron under his breath. "Make sure you beat him in<br/>every test, Rosie. Thank God you inherited your mother's brains."<br/>"Ron, for heaven's sake," said Hermione, half stern, half amused. "Don't try to<br/>turn them against each other before they've even started school!"<br/>"You're right, sorry," said Ron, but unable to help himself, he added, "Don't get<br/>too friendly with him, though, Rosie. Granddad Weasley would never forgive you if you<br/>married a pureblood."<br/>"Hey!"<br/>James had reappeared; he had divested himself of his trunk, owl, and trolley, and<br/>was evidently bursting with news.<br/>"Teddy's back there," he said breathlessly, pointing back over his shoulder into<br/>the billowing clouds of steam. "Just seen him! And guess what he's doing? Snogging<br/>Victoire!" |
