~10 years later~ Platform 9 3/4~ Epilogue~
Draco and Hermione were standing beside Scorpius and Rosie Malfoy, fussing over their children like parents always do. The family of four were standing on the platform that Hermione and Draco had not set foot on for ten years. Hermione smiled at the fond memories of Platform Nine and three-quarters. Scorpius suddenly tugged on his mother's sleeve.
"Mom; will you write to me every week?" He asked quietly, watching his older sister run to hug his dad. Hermione smiled and bent down to hug him.
"Of course I will, but trust me; it will be you with the exciting stories to tell me. Hogwarts has lots of secrets, and I'm sure, as your father's son, you'll definitely discover lots of interesting things here and there" Hermione stroked her son's hair lovingly, after shooting a smirk at her husband. Draco rolled his eyes right back at her.
"Mum, I'm scared of being sorted into a house. Rose says all the Slytherins and Gryffindors hate each other, and I want to be a Slytherin, but I know you are a Gryffindor, and I don't want to hate you." He said sadly.
Hermione sighed, "Scorp, did you know your father was a Slytherin?" Scorpius's eyes widened and he gasped.
"Really? Dad was a Slytherin? Then how did you end up getting married? I thought those houses hated each other…"
"No sweetheart, not everyone. Your father was a very brave man and I loved that about him. When you're older, I'll tell you about it. But we were exceptionally horrid to each other the first few years at Hogwarts, but when we were made Heads of Hogwarts, we had to be civil to each other, so I saw the side that Dad hid for the majority of his life. We hid our relationship at first, because we were terrified that our friends would leave us, because of the enmity between the houses, but after a while, we didn't care about that anymore. Love is more important than a silly traditions and beliefs. Scorp, promise me that if you are in Slytherin, you will still be friends with Lily and Albus? They are family, and I will not let any house enmity let you stay apart. But I have a feeling Albus might be in Slytherin too…"
Scorpius listened to his mother closely, and promised her with a hug that he will stay friends with Uncle Harry's children. Draco was helping his daughter Rosie lift her trunk onto the Hogwarts Express, where her new cherry brown owl ruffled her feathers happily. He was kissing Rosie goodbye, but he still heard every word Hermione said to his son.
The couple had gotten married a year after they departed Hogwarts, and were now a happy family with two beautiful children. Rosie had her mother's curly brown hair and heart-shaped face, but had his father's icy grey eyes that sometimes morphed into a piercing blue. She was an incredibly intelligent girl and was sorted into Ravenclaw house last year. Scorpius was a spitting image of Draco, but with Hermione's gentle and kind nature. He admired Draco so much, but still loved her mother and was a very obedient child. Both parents loved them just as much as they loved each other.
"Promise to take care of yourself and Scorp at school Rosie?" He asked her.
"Promise Dad, I won't let anything happen"
"Good girl. Now go and find a compartment before they all fill up. See you at Christmas my little Rose." Draco grinned at her scrunched up face when he used his nickname for her.
"Bye Dad" She kissed him goodbye and hopped onto the express, holding her owl's cage in front of her protectively.
"Goodbye mom, I'll send Ricky to you when I know what house I'm in" Scorpius hugged Hermione and smiled, before running off to say goodbye to his father and bombard him with a million hugs.
"Bye dad, remember to write to me" he told his father (and mother as she walked up behind them).
Draco laughed and ruffled his son's hair, before grabbing him into the air and setting him back down on the train. "Promise Scorp; and we'll see you at Christmas."
"Remember we'll be proud of you no matter which house the sorting hat places you in" Hermione added quietly, a little upset that both her children would be away from home this year. Draco pulled Hermione in with one arm and squeezed her. As her husband, he knew exactly what was troubling her, and he tried to soothe her and tell her it would be alright. However, the steam on the train puffed up into the air with a sharp blast from the driver, and Scorpius Malfoy gave one last smile before walking to find the compartment where his sister was.
"Bye sweetheart"
"Be good!"
"Send me letters every week!"
Yells from the platform and train could be heard as the Hogwarts express let out another jet of steam and began to chug forwards. Hermione smiled, and the last thing she saw was Rosie and Scorpius smiling and petting their owls while talking animatedly in a compartment with Albus, Lily and James Potter, and Hugo Weasley.
She leaned in to Draco's side as the train disappeared from view, and he leaned down and kissed her passionately. As the platform of parents emptied slowly, Draco smiled and took his wife's hand, before leading her out of Platform nine and three-quarters; back to the redecorated and cleaned Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire.

~Scorpius ended up in Slytherin, but he stuck to his promise and went to Hogsmeade with his friends from Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. His parents were extremely proud of him, especially Hermione~
~Rosie started dating Hugo in her fifth year, and Draco complained lightly about having Harry in their future as a true part of their family. Hermione knew he was joking however, and she could not have been more overjoyed or proud of her little girl~
~Scorpius received 'Outstandings' in all his OWL's, and told his mother in a letter that the Ravenclaw ghost and head of house were disappointed that he did not get sorted into Ravenclaw 'with brains like his mother's'~
~Albus turned out to be in Slytherin, and became best friends with Scorpius. They attracted lots of whispers about a Malfoy being best friends with a Potter, but they learned to ignore all the murmurs and grew to be inseparable. Draco and Harry were exceptionally proud of their sons~
~Scorpius, Albus and Lily were nicknamed the second golden trio by the professors of Hogwarts, as they were inseparable, and had the same loyalty, determination and courage as the Ron, Hermione, and Harry~
~Hermione and Draco had another daughter a year after Scorp went to Hogwarts. They named her Elle Tanya Malfoy, and she has chocolate brown eyes and short white-blonde hair.

She attends Hogwarts without her brothers and sisters, and was sorted into Gryffindor, as Hermione predicted~
