See Them Again (Hogwarts Reunion)

The Portrait

I own nothing! J.K.Rowling owns everything!

---------------------

"Hello Children." The portrait greeted Roxy, Fred and James. "It's been a while."

"Hello Aunt Hermione." The children smiled back at her. They greeted her as Aunt, despite not actually being related to them, because she had always been close to the Weasleys and Harry. In fact, Ron was certain that if and when she came back, she would actually become a real part of the family. "Do you know where the real you is?"

"Afraid not, kiddos. I wish I did. Harry and Ron always looks so sad when they see my portrait, it breaks my heart. Who are the new additions?" She waved at the Malfoys, who waved back in a trance-like state.

"They are Evangeline and Scorpius Malfoy." Fred replied. "But they're a lot better than Uncle Ron claims their father to be."

"Is that so?" Hermione asked the blondes. They were at a lose for words so they just nodded. "Well you'd best be off to bed. I don't want any of you to be caught after lights out." Everyone left apart from Eva and Scorp, who were still staring at the portrait of their mother.

"You guys coming?" Fred shouted at them.

"In a bit. We just need to say goodnight." Fred shrugged and ran after the others.

"Mum?" Eva whispered to the portrait.

"What was that, Miss Malfoy?" The portrait asked.

"Nothing." Scorp replied for his sister, as he dragged her away from the portrait. "Eva?" He questioned once they were out of earshot.

"Scorp, that was Mum." Eva whispered.

"Yes, it was." Scorp nodded.

Eva face palmed and walked in a circle. "How could I have been so stupid! We have been staring at it our entire lives and haven't noticed even though it turned into a ferret and did the chicken dance whilst juggling apples multiple times!" Eva shook her hands in the air.

"Eva, calm down." Scorp hissed. "Eva!"

"What! How are you not- How are you so calm?"

Scorp grabbed his sister's wrists. "Eva, there must have been a reason why Mum didn't tell us. Heck, it must be similar to why she never goes out in public without hiding herself! We can't tell anyone, she kept it a secret for a reason. We'll talk to her about it when we see her in a week." Eva nodded. "We should probably go to bed. Night Eva."

"Night Scorp." Scorp started to walk away. "Scorp?" She whispered.

"Yes?" Scorp turned slightly.

"Our Mum is The Hermione Granger." She kept her voice low.

Scorp smiled slightly. "Yes, she is."

Eva grinned. "Screw Harry Potter. Our mother is the real reason why the world wasn't plunged into darkness." Scorp grinned too. Eva walked past him. "Night Scorp."

Both of them headed off to bed, feeling more proud of their Mum than they have in their entire lives.

------------------------

The next week past very quickly and everyone had settled into Hogwarts nicely. Roxy, Fred, Eva, Scorp and sometimes James or Nikolas were always seen together and got along really well. Roxy, Fred and Eva were best friends, and the Malfoys were starting to grow on the young Potter. Scorp got along with the Gryffindors but his best friend was still childhood friend Nikolas. Within the week Scorp had been crowned Slytherin Prince, the first one since Draco Malfoy had left school. And Eva had been crowned Gryffindor Princess, of course. They were both incredibly proud to be taking after their parents, but thankfully, had not followed in the rule breaking aspect. Fred very much took after his father and late uncle, constantly sending the corridors of Hogwarts into disarray. The girls of their group frowned at this, but the boys were always having a good laugh.
