The Affair/Dramione

Platform 9 3/4...

POV: Hermione. Kings Cross Station...

I couldn't believe how the next eleven years flew by.

Our baby girls Phoenix and Luxia were all grown up about to board the Hogwarts Express for the very first time. I cried all night long. Knowing exactly how my parents must have felt dropping me off my first day. I wished everyday they could be witness to seeing and knowing their only granddaughters...

"Mum, where's Crookshanks?" Phoenix asked me over the loud crowd of witches and wizards boarding their children to the train. As we watched Draco loading the girls trunks onto the platform. "Oh, he's a troublemaker, make sure he stays in his crate until you are seated in a compartment."

"Ah! See sweetheart he's crawling himself right back in. Make sure and lock it now Phoenix before he gets out again." I informed our daughter.

Luxia was by my side as well, being in awe of the crowd. She was bringing her black cat named Alice Cooper, who was nestled in his crate fast asleep."Mummy isn't that Harry and Ginny Potter?" She gestured before us as we saw Harry and Ginny with their sons James and Albus. We hadn't seen them in quite awhile.

Harry made his way up to us giving me a hug, as well as Ginny hugging me, greeting each other warmly, reintroducing our children. We were in shock at how much our children had grown and now about to attend Hogwarts together. The nostalgia was overwhelming. Draco soon joined us as Harry and he shook hands in a seemingly friendly manner.

James had grown so much. He looked exactly like Harry, but a bit taller than him, with messy long brown hair. James had his green eyes but didn't wear glasses. He was a year older than our girls. A Gryffindor of course.

We then noticed Neville, Luna, and Jagger making their way to greet us. We saw them much more often than the Potters, for obvious reasons. Jagger was adorable holding his pet toad. He was the perfect mixture of his parents, with Luna's blue eyes and Neville's long brown hair.

We chatted for a bit, then the first whistle blew for us to say goodbye to our children.

Phoenix hugged me as I held my tears back to show them I wasn't upset. She pulled back and whispered in my ear, "Mummy will Daddy be upset if I don't make it into Slytherin house?"

I hugged her again and pulled her out cupping her sweet face in my hands, looking into her beautiful blue eyes belonging to Draco.

"Your father loves you, Phoenix. It doesn't matter whether you are a Gryffindor or a Slytherin. What matters is that you are true to yourself." I paused seeing her eyes watering. "Oh my darling. You are going to have the time of your life at Hogwarts. Please do not worry. We love you, our beautiful girl." I finished hugging her again crying but quickly dried up my tears.

"And just remember... I was a Gryffindor and your father fell in love with me. So you see? He can't stand us all now can he?" I made her laugh and I winked at her.

Draco grabbed Phoenix's hand suddenly lifting her up, giving her a big daddy bear hug circling her in the air embarrassing her. "Daddy, honestly!!" She growned sounding and looking exactly like me. Her wavy brown hair flowing in the breeze.

Luxia grabbed my waist hugging me tightly. She lifted up to gaze at me with my big brown eyes staring straight back at me. I pulled a strand of her piercingly blonde hair out of her face seeing her eyes becoming misty, as I cupped her beautiful face. It was flatteringly bizarre seeing our children looking so much like us. Our attributes lovingly placed in each of our daughters.
