The pattering of shoes on the marble corridor of the manor echoed throughout the Black Manor. Harry was in the kitchen when a blur of black robes came barrelling into him.

"Scorpius Malfoy-Potter! Be careful." He scolded, picking up the bundle of robes from the floor.

"Sorry Dad, I didn't see you. Have you seen lil?" The boy blurted in a hurry. Its less than an hour until he would be leaving to go for his first year of Hogwarts and he wanted to talk to his sister in private before they left.

"The last I saw of her she was with Marly in the nursery. But be quick, we have to leave very soon." harry said with an affectionate pat to the head.

Scorpius rushed of to the nursery, passing Draco on the way. "Hurry up kid we are going to miss the train if we don't leave soon."

"Yeah yeah I know father!" Scorpius responded flashing a grin that looked so much like Harry. Even though none of their children were biologically related to Draco and Harry, their shared many similar qualities to their parents. Scorpius has Harry's charm and utter recklessness. Lilly-Luna has Draco's sophisticated air, even for a nine-year old. Its hard to say what trait Marly will have seeing as she is only three years old, but Harry and Draco can't wait to find out.

Scorpius burst through the door to the nursery where Lilly-Luna was sat on the floor with marly in her arms. She broke into a large grin when she saw her brother.

"I can't believe you are going to Hogwarts today. I am so jealous!" She said as she gently put Marly back on the floor, before enloping her brother in a huge hug. "I am going to miss you." She whispered.

"I will miss you too lil. I want you to promise me something before I go, okay." Lilly nodded. "As you know Dad will be entering his 'Phoenix stage' as he and father calls it. I want you to help look after Father and Marley whilst Dad is asleep. Can you do that for me."

"Of course I can. You can count on me Scorp!" Lilly said proudly, holding her head up high with a dashing grin on her face. It astounds Scorpius how grown up Lilly can be, but she has been through a lot so its understandable.

"Thank you Lil. I am going to miss you so much." Lilly could hear the underlying fear in his tone.

"You will be fine Scorpius. Everyone is going to love you. Your an amazing person, bound to be amazing wizard just like our dads." Scorpius gave his sister a small smile. Marly crawled over and tugged on the bottom of his robes. She was hoisted up by her brother, causing her to giggle cutely.

"Kids! Come on or you really will miss the train." Draco shouted from the bottom of the stairs. Scorpius let out a sigh and took Lilly's hand.

"Come on. Lets go." She said calmly, relaxing Scorpius with her soothing tone. They headed back down the stairs to see the end of a chaste kiss between their parents.

"Ew! Gross!" Scorpius exclaimed covering Marly's eyes. The two broke apart, the faintest blush on their cheeks. They quickly covered up their embarassment by ushering the kids into the chimney and taking them to Kings Cross Station.

Draco took hold of Marley and went through the wall first, closley followed by Lilly-Luna. Harry was about to go through when he caught the terrified expression on his son's face.

"Whats wrong?" He asked gently bending down to meet his eyes.

"I'm scared. What if I get put in the wrong house? What if I don't make any friends? Rose isn't going until next year, so I won't know anyone." Scorpius said starting to panic. Harry took his hand and gave it a comforting squeeze.

"You needn't worry about the house. The sorting house takes your opinion into account. That's what it did for me, and your father." Harry broke out into a grin. " And if you are anything like me, you will make friends so quickly. Who wouldn't want to be your friend?" He said nonchalantly.

"Really?" Scorpius muttered.

"Really!"

"Okay then. Lets go." There was still a nervous edge to his voice, but his face had brightened significantly. The two went hand in hand through the wall and stumbled out onto the bustling platform. They quickly found Draco, who was confused at first until he caught sight of his son.

"You ready?" Draco asked quietly, signalling to the open door of a carriage.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Came the enthusiastic response. Scorpius hugged his sisters tightly, forcing himself not to get upset. But when it came to his parents he let a silent tear fall. After their goodbyes, he boarded the train. The train set of from the platform with an ear-piercing whistle. Lilly waved ferociously, almost hitting her parents in the process. Harry had to bight back tears, while Draco was full on sobbing with Marley resting on his hip. Once the train was out of sight, the four of them headed back home, feeling a small pang of loss. 

Meanwhile on the train Scorpius was scouring for an empty compartment. He came to the end of the row to find what he thought was an empty one. He open the door and swung his bag onto the rack.

"Hi!" A voice piped up which scared Scorpius half to death.

"Hi there. Is it alright if i sit in here with you?" Scorpius asks, trying to slow his heart rate.

"Of course!" The brown haired boy said. He was wearing glasses framing his bright green eyes. He wore a goofy smile that made Scorpius feel at ease. 

"My name is Scorpius Malfoy-Potter. Whats yours?"

"My name is Albus."

THE END

so ends Aeterni. I wanted to end this here, I felt it was fitting. Draco holding a three year old is an image I will never get out of my head.

I didn't want to go into detail with the three kids backstories. If you want to know comment here and I will gladly explain them!

Also I would like to explain something about Albus. In this story he is not related to Harry in any way. He is an orphan, hence why he has no last name as he never knew his parents and they left no last name when they left him there. However when it comes to Scorpius and Albus' relationship you can take it in any way possible!!

I really enjoyed writing this book. It wont be my last Drarry book that's for sure! Thank you all for reading. Goodbye!
