Hermione( one hand holds the hand of her daughter, stands opposite her sons, talks to her son Albus and stands next to her husband): Have you finished reading all the books of the first three years? It is really important to know more than the others. If you have got any questions, send your owl and I will answer them. You are really smart Albus and I know that you once will be a great wizard such as your father is. But it is a long way and you have to concentrate on the important things.
Harry(angry ): Hermione, please stop. You make our children even more nervous than they are. Listen to me Albus and Lily.(kneels down to his children, take his hands on their shoulders) You will go now on an adventure, you will never forget. It will be the time of your life. A big part of it is the discovery of new things and the knowledge of magic but another huge part is to make friends and have fun. Even if you believed that your mom and I had a real boring school life(little pause)apart from Lord Voldemort , than you are definitely wrong.
Albus ( looks at the platforms 9 and 10, is confused ): Dad, where exactly is platform 9 ¾ ? There are just nine and ten. Maybe we are at the wrong train station.
Harry( holds his hands on his stomach and turns his head towards the wall ):Hahaa, no we are at the right train station and also at the right platform. Look at..
Remus( shouts out loud ): Albus, it is right behind the wall(points to the wall between the signs) .You have to go through it to get to our platform. I know. It is pretty cool.
Lily (shy): But how should we do that? Dad, can you please help me?
Harry takes the hand of his daughter and runs towards the wall until they arrive on the other side.
After a few seconds, the others arrive on the other side as well
Hermione: I am proud to present you platform 9 ¾ with its Hogwarts Express.
Ron( shouts from the other end of the platform and waves ): Harry , Hermione. Come to us. Here is enough space for all of us!
Harry and his family walk over to Ron and his son
Ron: It is so nice seeing you again. I am so sorry that we couldn't drive together but I had to work longer.
Hermione: No problem. I know how stressful work can be. I think it is time to head to the train.
Fred (steps from one foot to the other): I am so nervous. What is, if we all come in different houses?
Ron (speaks ironic): Hell no, you will come to Gryffindor and when not I will elongate your ears. Make your family proud.
Ron takes the case of his son and they go to the train. Hermione, Lily and Remus follow them. Albus turns to his dad
Albus: Dad, I am afraid. I don't want to be in Slytherin. All evil wizards came into that house.
Harry: You are named after two headmasters. One of them was a Slytherin and he was the bravest man I ever knew. Your house doesn't tell you anything about the future, it is your choice what you want to make out of it. Don't be afraid, because there is no reason to be.
Come on, you have to get on the train.
Harry and his son go to the others, who wait for them to arrive.
All children go on the train and put their heads out of the window.
All children: Bye Mom, bye Dad.
The train leave the platform and all parents wave their children
Hermione (with tears in her eyes): And they are gone. I just remembered the time, when we met in the train. It seems like it was yesterday. I am so happy to have you guys.
Hermione pulls both of them into a hug
Draco: Ughh, that's disgusting. Take a room.
Ron: Draco, what are you doing here?
Draco (raises one eyebrow): Are you kidding me? I am here to say goodbye to my lovely son Scorpius.
Harry and Hermione (at the same time): You have got a child?
Harry: I didn't even know that you are married. Who is the "lucky" one?
Draco: Her name is Lilia and she was the year below us. And before you ask, she was a Slytherin as well. Jealous?
I see a wedding ring on your hand. Who is the ...?
Hermione raises her hand
Draco (laughes): Ah, the little mudblood and the hero. That is an interesting combination. I always thought that Ron would end up with Hermione.
Ron (angry): And I thought that you would end up with Voldemort, but he is dead. We were both wrong.
Hermione(gives Ron an angry look and looks back to Draco): Where do you work?
Draco: I work at the Ministry of Magic after my dad retired. What about you?
Harry: Hermione works as a journalist, Ron helps George at the Joke shop and I teach ..
Neville: Defence against the dark arts. Everybody knows that. Furthermore he is the head of Gryffindor.
Draco: Haha it would be so funny if one of your kids is selected into another house? I would love to see that. Send me a letter with a photo. Thanks.
Neville( shouts): Malfoy, it is fine.
Draco: Oh Neville, you can be brave. What happened?
Harry: If you forgot it, he killed one part of Voldemort's soul.
Draco: The one moment where he wasn't a fool.
Hermione: Draco Malfoy, shut up. He is our friend.
Draco: What do you want to do against it? I scared every single one of you during our school time. Why should that be different right now?
Harry: No one of us was terrified and we will never be. You are just a random guy who wants to be bad. One out of a million. You are nothing special.
Draco (spits): You'll regret that Potter!
Draco leaves the group and goes through the wall
Neville: Wow, he never changed.
Ron: No he hasn't and I hope that his son will not be as arrogant as he is. But we don't have to bother. It is so nice seeing you again Neville. What are you up to?
Neville: Harry and I want to fly to Hogwarts.
Ron: I hope you are better on a broomstick than in the past.
Neville laughs about the joke
Neville: Yeah I think so. I had the perfect teacher. (little pause) I heard about Ginny and her career.
Ron: Yeah she is a pretty famous hunter. I am so proud. She sometimes helps George and me in the Joke shop. George needs a lot of help after Fred died, even though it was 19 years ago. He still misses him every day and I have no idea how to help him with that.
Hermione: You help him as much as you can. He is really thankful for that. You have to remember that.
A moment of silence.
Harry: Sorry that I have to interrupt but Neville and I really have to go. Miss McGonagall would not be happy if her best staff were not be there.
See you guys
All: See you.
Hermione: Maybe we can catch up in a week.
Neville: Yes that would be great. I'll send you a letter
Harry and Neville get on their broomsticks and fly into the sky. All the others say good-bye to each other and go in other directions.
The end
