Damien and Trinity

"I'm telling Nat, Hogwarts is a great place," Ron Weasley reassured his eleven-year-old daughter. "You'll have so much fun there! I know I did." Ron had broken the Weasley family tradition of having a large family. Natalie Rachel Weasley was his and Luna's one and only.

Percy, Ron liked to argue had REALLY broken the tradition as he was unmarried and had no children at all. The other Weasley boys though had taken the baton and run with it. Bill was married to Fleur Delacour and they had four children, Merisel, eighteen, Danielle, fifteen, Elias, twelve, and Alyse, eleven. Charlie had married a quiet girl named Laura from Port Talbot, Wales. They had five kids of their own: Anthony, seventeen, Victoria, fifteen, Alexandra, thirteen, Felicia, ten and Brendan, nine. Fred, surprising, had the lion's share of offspring, putting his parents to shame with eight: Eric, fourteen, Thomas, twelve, Alison, ten, Shana, eight, Daniel, six, Benjamin, four , and HIS twins, Ryan and Seth, two. George barely avoided being listed as shameful; he only had three: Anna, fifteen, Summer, thirteen, and Marissa, eleven.

And Ginny...Ginny had only two kids, another shame, two girls, Trinity, sixteen, and Ariana, thirteen. Trinity and Ariana MALFOY.

The two girls were walking to the train with their mother when Ariana turned to Ginny and asked, "If Dad works at school, how come he can't just ride there with us? I mean, Hunter's parents ride to school with HIM because they're teachers!"

"I'm not really sure, sweetie, you'd have to ask him that. Speaking of Hunter though..." Ginny trailed off seeing none other than thirteen-year-old Hunter Jesse Potter waltzing up to them accompanied by his older two siblings: Damien, seven, and Anais, fifteen.

Trinity suddenly started acting very oddly, fixing her hair and blushing furiously as the Potters came up to her.

"Hey, Trinity," Damien greeted her with a flirtatious smile. "How were your holidays?"

Trinity reciprocated his smile. "They were great. Thanks..."

Harry was unnerved to see his son flirting openly with Malfoy's daughter. It was as though they...liked each other or something. As far as Harry was concerned Draco was still an annoying prick. He hadn't the slightest idea what Ginny saw in him.

Harry wasn't the only Potter glaring when Damien and Trinity's eyes would meet. Anais hated Trinity for the sheer reason that she was her father's daughter. Anais had always been wary of Draco, right from the beginning. It made no difference to her that Trinity looked much more like Ginny than Draco or that Trinity was a Gryffindor. She was Draco Malfoy's daughter, and that made her evil.

"Damien?"

"What?"

"Why doesn't your family like me?" Trinity and Damien were in their own little compartment of the Hogwarts Express. Damien was sitting down and Trinity was lying with her head in his lap.

Damien ran his fingers through Trinity's dark red hair. "Your hair looks a lot like my grandmum's did. You know, before she..."

"Damien, don't change the subject!" She sat up and turned to look him in the eye. "They don't like me. Why?"

Damien struggled to find the right words. "It's not you they don't like."

Trinity rolled her eyes. "Could have fooled me..."

"They don't like your dad, alright!" Damien exploded, automatically regretting it.

"What?"

"My parents don't like your dad, especially my father. Your dad was like his arch-nemesis at school or something..."

"What about my mum?"

"Your mum's their friend. They think she made a bad choice but..." He trailed off seeing Trinity inch away from him. "What? What's the matter?"

She gave him a weird look. "And what do you think?" she asked him softly. "What do you think of my father?"

"I...I say that anyone who contribute to your existence can't possibly be all bad!"

"That's clichéd, Damien, and you know it."

"Look, Trinity, you're my friend and would never say or think anything about you or your family that would hurt you. I don't know your dad. But it sounded like he was pretty mean when he was our age." Trinity made to say something but Damien silenced her with a wave of his hand. "Your mom says he changed and I don't know enough to say whether or not that's true."

Trinity looked at him hard for a few moments, before crumbling into his arms. "That's what I thought you'd say."

Damien rolled his eyes.
