Eighteen Years Later

"Dad? Dad? Why's mum over with that Hairy man?" Young Scorpius Malfoy asked his father as they made towards the scarlet red steam train that would be taking him to his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"His name is Harry," Draco smirked to his son. "Or Potter if you prefer."

"I don't like him," Scorpius sneered. "He scares me. Why is mum talking to him?"

"You know they're friends, son," Draco smirked. "Besides, here she comes now…"

"I can't believe how much hair Ron has lost!" Hermione Malfoy cried as she approached her waiting family. "It's quite a worry…"

"Why worry? You have a husband with a wonderful head of hair, Granger," Draco drawled, running his hand through his hair, which was still the same platinum blonde it had been when he was younger. Both he and Hermione doubted that he'd had a single strand of it fall loose and never re-grow. "Maybe he's earning extra money testing muggle shampoo."

"Draco, you know very well that Ron is not the poor boy he was in school," Hermione chided, looking around the crowded train platform. "Now where is Aurora?"

"She's already gone off with that James Potter," Draco hissed. "Do we really have to encourage her to hang around with Potter and Weasley's kids?"

"I will not have my children associating with the Zabini children, Draco!" Hermione cried. "Those children are very disrespectful – I'd prefer my children to not turn into that."

"Granger, I'll have you know I often hung around with Blaise and I turned out perfectly fine," Draco stated with a sneer ready to bite. "Aurora is in third year. That's the year –"

"I think James is very worthy of her affection, Draco."

"Granger, my only daughter is not –"

"Oh I see you haven't broken your word at all, Malfoy." Ginny had come over to see Hermione again, wanting to escape the boys discussion of the muggle vehicles they would like to purchase. Grinning, she put on a deep voice to imitate Draco. "'Even in the throws of passion, I'll still call her Granger'."

Hermione looked at Draco, eyebrows raised. Draco merely smirked.
