Iris, filled with both excitement and nervousness, said goodbye to her mother and other family members before boarding the Hogwarts Express at London's magical train station. As the train chugged through the picturesque countryside, Iris couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for the adventures that awaited her at Hogwarts. During the journey, she couldn't bear the thrill any longer and she went looking for her boyfriend, Draco Malfoy. She found him in one of the compartments, looking out the window with a pensive expression on his face. "Draco!" Iris exclaimed, her voice filled with delight. Draco turned to face her, a smile spreading across his face. "Iris," he said, his eyes sparkling with affection. "It's so good to see you." Iris sat down beside him, and they spent the rest of the journey chatting excitedly, catching up on each other's summer adventures.

1993

In the heart of New Orleans, in a grand mansion steeped in history and magic, Rebekah Mikaelson bid farewell to her precious teenage daughter, Iris. With a heavy heart, she watched as the thirteen-year-old prepared to embark on her journey back to Hogwarts for her third year. Iris, a young witch with a mischievous spark in her eyes and a heart full of wonder, couldn't contain her excitement as she packed her trunk with books, potions, and magical artifacts. Meanwhile, Klaus Mikaelson, Rebekah's brother, harbored mixed emotions. While he secretly rejoiced at the prospect of no longer having to deal with Iris's teenage dramas and love letters from her boyfriend, Draco Malfoy, he couldn't deny the pang of sadness that gnawed at him. Klaus had always been a broken man, scarred by love lost and betrayal. Seeing Iris happy and carefree reminded him of the joy and innocence he had once possessed, a part of him that had been irrevocably shattered. As Iris embraced her mother, tears welled up in Rebekah's eyes. She knew that this moment marked a significant turning point in her daughter's life. Iris was growing up, and soon she would embark on her own adventures, forging her destiny in the wizarding world. Rebekah couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and anticipation for the future that lay ahead of her beloved child. Klaus, unable to bear the weight of his emotions, retreated to his study. He poured himself a glass of whiskey and stared out the window, lost in thought. As he watched Iris disappear into the night, he wondered if he would ever find the happiness that seemed to elude him. As Iris stepped through the gates of Hogwarts, she felt a rush of excitement and trepidation. This was the place where she truly belonged, where she could embrace her magical abilities and explore the secrets of the wizarding world. In the years to come, she would face challenges, forge friendships, and discover the true meaning of love and loyalty. But for now, she simply savored the joy of returning home. In the famed halls of Hogwarts, amidst the echoes of ancient magic and the youthful exuberance of young wizards and witches, a tale of love, uncertainty, and extraordinary beginnings unfolded. Iris Mikaelson, a precocious and spirited thirteen-year-old, found herself at the precipice of a life-changing revelation. Amidst the chaos of a Quidditch match gone awry, Draco Malfoy, the enigmatic and aloof Slytherin, fell victim to Buckbeak's sharp talons. As Iris rushed to his aid, she discovered a secret that would forever alter their lives. Madame Pomfrey, the matron of the Hogwarts Hospital Wing, gently took Iris aside and revealed the astonishing truth: Iris was pregnant. The news struck Iris like a thunderbolt, leaving her in a whirlwind of emotions. Fear, uncertainty, and a sense of overwhelming responsibility washed over her. Yet, amidst the turmoil, a flicker of hope and excitement ignited within her heart. Seeking solace and guidance, Iris confided in Draco, the father of her unborn child. Despite initial shock and trepidation, Draco's love for Iris shone through. He vowed to stand by her, offering unwavering support and unwavering loyalty. Together, they faced the challenges ahead, navigating the complexities of their newfound situation with courage and determination.

In the enchanting city of New Orleans, Rebekah Mikaelson found herself at the center of a heart-wrenching situation. One fateful day, a letter arrived, bearing news that would shake her to the core. It was from her 13-year-old daughter, Iris, revealing the unimaginable - she was pregnant with Draco's baby. Overwhelmed with a mix of emotions, Rebekah couldn't contain her joy at the thought of becoming a grandmother. Bursting with excitement, she gathered her family to share the news. However, to her dismay, only Klaus, her brother, remained cold and distant. Anger seethed within him, directed solely at Rebekah for allowing her young daughter to engage in such a mature act. Devastated and frightened, Rebekah could no longer bear the weight of Klaus' disapproval. In a blur of vampire speed, tears streaming down her face, she fled from the room. Sensing her anguish, Kol, her loyal brother, raced after her, determined to offer solace and guidance. As they found a moment of respite, Kol assured Rebekah that Klaus' reaction was rooted in bitterness and his own complicated relationship with children. Kol, having witnessed Klaus' initial rejection of Iris at birth, knew that Klaus had grown to love her over time, despite the ongoing sibling rivalries. However, now, as a pregnant teenager, Klaus' disdain for Iris seemed to have intensified. In a comforting embrace, Kol reassured Rebekah that she was not alone in this battle. United against Klaus, they made their way back to face him. However, Klaus stood firmly, his heart guarded by walls of resentment. He threatened her with a dagger, his anger palpable, but Kol interjected fiercely, refusing to allow harm to befall his sister. In a courageous plea, Rebekah expressed her desire to be a part of her grandchild's life. Yet, Klaus remained cold and unmoved, storming off in a fit of rage. Rebekah and Kol were left to navigate the aftermath, their hearts heavy with sadness. In the depths of their shared pain, Rebekah and Kol vowed to support each other. Determined to protect their family, they confronted the challenges that lay ahead, ready to face the storm together. As the future unfolded, the Mikaelson family would discover that love could triumph even in the face of resentment, and that forgiveness had the power to heal the deepest wounds.
