Checking the number on the box's label against the number on his clipboard, finding the numbers to match he put the box onto the correct shelf. He'd been given the task of tidying and organising the seasonal corner of the stock room. It was a mess if he was honest and was definitely going to take all of today and maybe some of tomorrow. Bringing his arm up to check his watch he knocked a box balanced on top of another and it started to fall. Reaching out automatically the weight of whatever was in the box trapped his arm against the metal edge of the shelf.

"Ah!" he gasped as his arm was pushed down, cutting the metal deep into his arm. Blood started to drip onto the shelf as he tried to free his arm but the box was too heavy. He cursed himself silently for being fool enough to try and stop it falling. Well he'd stopped it but he'd hurt himself in the process. "Could I have some help please?"

"What was that?" Jenny poked her head in. "Oh My God! Drake!"

"I can't get it off my arm," Draco explained, his voice filed with pain. Jenny struggled to help him and together they got the heavy box off of his arm. He pulled the wounded limb to his chest, pressing his hand to the cut. "Well that teaches me to let my mind wander at work."

"Go into the office, I'll go get Amy," Jenny rushed off, searching for the store manager. Slowly Draco left the stock room, trying not to drip blood anywhere on his way, applying pressure as best he could. It hurt like hell.

"Get that arm elevated Drake!" Amy ordered as she came in, pulling the first aid box from its shelf in her office. "How did that happen?"

"As box slipped and I tried to grab it but it was heavier than I thought and it trapped my arm," Draco explained with a wince. She forced him to let go of the cut and looked at the cut quickly,

"That's going to need stitches," she told him, pushing his hands back onto the cut as she looked around the first aid box for a suitable dressing, "I'll drive you to the A&E once I've bandaged this up."

"It's only up the road, we can walk. Plus parking will be impossible," Draco said calmly, watching as she lined the thick pad of the dressing over his hand.

"If you're sure," she said slowly, concentrating, "Take your hand off." He obeyed and she pushed the pad down onto the cut. He hissed as the pain got even worse, wincing as she tied it off tightly. He reapplied pressure once she was done, biting his lip from the pain. "Ok we need to get to the A&E as quick as we can now."

Two hours later the pair of them were sat in the Hospitals A&E. Draco had been seen to and been told he'd need stitches, now they were just waiting to get those stitches. It was looking to be a long wait. Amy kept ringing the store, keeping up to date with things, issuing tasks and telling them what to do with the two of them MIA. This meant Draco was left alone most of the time, thinking.

"To move or not to move, that is the question," he said softly to himself.

"What was that Drake?" Amy asked, looking at him, her phone still to her ear. She was being glared at by a couple of people, mobile phones weren't meant to be used in the waiting room.

"Nothing Amy just…thinking about something," Draco sighed.

"I'll get back to you Thom," Amy hung up the phone and turned to him, "What were you thinking about Drake? You seem very sad all of a sudden."

"I…might have to leave my job."

"What? Why?"

"My-My dad's got terminal cancer."

"Oh Drake, I'm sorry…"

"Thank you. He wants me and the kids to move back to the family home so he can spend what time he had left with us. I'm just having a tough time deciding…"

"Deciding what? Go to your father. We'll be sorry to see you go but I understand, family should always come first," Amy said comfortingly, "If you want your two weeks notice can start on Monday."

"Thank you Amy," Draco said, just as a pretty young Nurse called his name. It was time to finally get his stitches done.

My Dear Father,

I don't know how to start this letter so I'm just going to be blunt. Next Friday you may expect us at the Manor. I am coming home. Kai leaves for Hogwarts on Wednesday so he will not be with us but he will be home for all the holidays. I have already contacted the local school and arranged for Elly and Jamie to transfer there. It helps that this is happening in the holidays, makes transferring a lot easier. I plan on looking for a playschool for Kian once we've settled in a little bit.

See you Friday.

Lots of Love,

Draco (and Kai, Jamie, Elly and Kian)

Waking the children at five o'clock in the morning wasn't pleasant and Draco hadn't wanted to do it. He'd arranged for them to spend the day next door while he took Kai to London to catch the train. But they wouldn't hear of it, they wanted to see the magic train. So he woke them up and got them dressed and together they walked to the train station.

He'd bought their tickets two days earlier and was thankful of that when he saw the queue at the ticket office. It seemed lots of people want to catch the six am train to London, Waterloo. Kai's trunk had been shrunk (on the third try of the spell. It seemed Draco was a little bit rustier than he thought) and was now safely residing in Draco's jacket pocket next to his mobile phone. Jamie and Elly were in charge of the picnic bag, one of those white cooler bags from Tesco's. It was full of food for both the journey there and the journey back.

"How long will it take us to get there?" Jamie asked from where he sat next to the window. They'd managed to get seats around one of the tables, on which the food bag now rested. Elly was opposite him against the window and beside her was Kai, reading his Potions book with well-practised fingers. Draco had never been able to understand how his son could read Braille so quickly. Draco was next to Jamie and Kian was curled up in his lap asleep.

"A couple of hours."

"Can I have something to eat then?" Jamie asked. Draco checked his watch, it was 6:45. Opening the food bag he brought out the five breakfast bars he'd put in. "Oh! Can't I have some chocolate?"

"No," Draco handed him one of the strawberry flavoured bars. He handed one to Elly and Kai too. Kian however he let sleep on, putting his one back in the bag before he ate his own. Breakfast.

The train filled more at each stop as the journey continued. Kian woke eventually and they all tucked in to sandwiches and crisps. No chocolate yet much to Jamie's annoyance. Kai was almost halfway through reading his potions book when the announcement for London Waterloo came over the announcement system.

"Jamie, can you carry the food bag again?" Draco asked.

"Yes dad," Jamie agreed, grabbing the handles as he stood like everyone in the carriage. Kai carefully put his book in his backpack, things he'd need on the train to Hogwarts, his books to read, his pocket money, things like that.

"Elly, can you look after Kian while we get off the train?" Draco asked.

"Yes daddy," Elly said, taking Kians hand when they were all stood together in the aisle of the train.

"I'll help you off the train Kai," Draco said quietly to his son.

"Thanks dad," Kai said quietly, checking his dark glasses were in place. The train came to a halt and people started piling off of it, heading off to their jobs and other destinations. Jamie went first with the food bag, then Elly holding tightly onto Kian. All three of them looked around the huge station with wide eyes. This was their first ever trip to London after all. Draco helped Kai step down onto the platform and over to the three wide eyed youngsters.

"Everyone alright?" Draco asked, letting go of Kai's hand so he could get the folded up cane out of his bag and open it up smoothly. "Kian take daddy's hand now." Elly still held onto his other hand but the little boy quickly took Draco's outstretched hand. "Jamie, stay close. Kai do you want my other hand? It's rather busy this morning and we've got a bit of walking to do before we get to Platform 9¾."

"I'll hold your hand, I can hear how busy it is," Kai said quietly.

Draco led the way into the main part of the train station, smiling as Elly gasped in awe. He noticed lots of oddly dressed people heading towards Platform 9, wizards dressed as muggles no doubt and shook his head. After all this time would they never get it right?

"Can we go shopping daddy?" Elly asked noticing the shops lining the walls.

"Maybe later. First though we've got to get Kai onto the school train," Draco said as they walked through the entrance onto Platform 9.

"This doesn't look magic," Jamie said as they walked along the train station.

"Well that's because it's not. Platform 9¾ is the magic one," Draco said with a smile, "This is just the way onto it." He led them to the pillar that hid the magical door to the other Platform.

"It's a wall," Jamie pointed out, not amused.

"Alright, Jamie, Elly, you're going to come with me now. Kai, hold onto Kian for a moment," Draco said, passing Kians hand to his older brother. Draco then took one of Jamie's and on of Elly's, making them face the wall.

"It's still a wall," Jamie grumbled. Draco grinned down at him before running at the wall, his children crying out in surprise as they were forced to go with him. But they didn't hit it, instead they went straight through and came out on a different station, an older looking one with a steam train puffing away against the platform. Both children let out cries of surprise.

"See? It's not just a wall," Draco pointed out to them both, "Now wait here while I go and get your brothers. Don't stray from this spot." He turned back and passed through the wall once more. Kian was a little distressed it seemed, pulling on Kai's hand and wailing. "Oh Kian, it's alright. I'm here."

"Daddy went away! Daddy went away!" the little boy sobbed loudly, "You went into the wall!" Draco picked him up and held him close. "You went away!"

"I'm back. It's ok Kian, it was magic. It's ok," Draco said reassuringly in Kian's ear, rubbing his back gently. "It's magic. Going through the wall gets us to Platform 9¾, that's all. It's a hidden door."

"A hidden door?" Kian asked quietly.

"Yup. And Jamie and Elly are waiting for us on the other side so shall we go through?" Draco asked. Kian nodded after a few moments. Draco shifted him onto one side of his hip instead of where he was sat square in the front, a move made so that he could hold him with one arm and take Kai's hand with the other. "Kai we have to do a bit of running. I know you don't like running but I will not let you fall."

"I thrust you dad," Kai said calmly. Holding onto Kai's hand tightly Draco began running again. Kian gave a little scream as they passed through the wall. And then there was Jamie and Elly, watching out for them a little worriedly even though the nine-year-old boy would never admit it. "Are we there?"

"Oh yes are we there! This place is amazing!" Jamie said loudly as they met up once more. Kian was put on the floor, holding onto Draco's leg tightly. "There's a big, red steam train. A steam train!" Draco led them away from the entrance and then let go of Kai's hand.

"I'm going to take your trunk to the guards van quickly Kai, I'll be right back," Draco said calmly to his children. They all nodded, Kai searching for Kian's hand again. "Stay together." He walked quickly to the guards van and resized the trunk in his pocket, putting it with the others ready to go on the train.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Draco Malfoy," the voice came just as he was turning to head back to his children. Draco turned to find a huge gathering of red heads, huge. The Weasleys. It was George Weasley who had spoken.

"Where are your children?" Hermione asked with a frown.

"I was just heading back to them after dropping of Kai's trunk," Draco said quietly, "I'd best go make sure they're all right. Kian was a little scared coming onto the platform."

"Who's Kian?" George asked.

"My youngest," Draco said calmly, turning away from the sea of red heads and walking back along the platform to where his children waited. "There we go, all done. Everyone alright?"

"They're dressed funny," Kian giggled, pointing to a family of wizards.

"No, they are dressed traditionally," Draco said.

"It's the lady from the shop," Elly said happily. Draco turned around. He'd been followed. "Hello."

"Hello there," Hermione said pleasantly, pushing a twin pushchair before her, "I see you brought everyone too."

"Well it's a big thing, trip to London, Kai off to school," Draco shrugged, Kian once again clinging to his leg. He was however smiling shyly at a girl probably his holding onto the pushchair Hermione was pushing. "You bring all of yours too?"

"Yup, like you said it's a big day," Hermione answered. "George and Bill brought all their too. I think after this it'll become a tradition." She was the only one who seemed willing to talk to him, the others were more inclined to just stare.

"So, how many of those are yours?" Draco asked.

"Eight," Hermione said with a small laugh.

"Eight!" Draco gave a loud laugh, "Ron Weasley you sly dog."

"Well you know how it is…" Ron said with a grin. Draco laughed. "Plus there's two sets of twins so…technically it was only six times…"

"Six times for what daddy?" the little girl Kian had been smiling at asked.

"Six times for mummy to go to the hospital Mariah," Ron explained easily, "We're the biggest Weasley family at the moment."

"At the moment? Please tell me you haven't all got big families?" Draco asked, looking to Bill and George.

"I've only got two. Didn't want my lovely wife to loose her figure," Bill was obviously teasing her and earned a slap on the arm from Fleur because of it. "A boy and a girl. Dominique is off to Hogwarts this year." He nodded to a lovely looking girl with strawberry blond curls.

"My wife and I have four," George said, his arm around Alicia, "So do Percy and Penelope but their eldest is still too young for Hogwarts so their not here." Now that the ice was broken George was much more like his friendly self again.

"So there's a family of eight, two of four and a family of two. Are you trying to re-populate the world?" there were giggles after Draco's question.

"That's not all of us. Charlie and Oliver have a little boy and Neville and Ginny have three children," Ron supplied with a laugh.

"You lot are unbelievable," Draco laughed.

"So is Kai as excited as ours are to be off to Hogwarts?" George asked.

"Oh yes, I think so," Draco chuckled, looking at his son who was calmly facing the large group he could see, "Kai?"

"I'm half and half," Kai said quietly, "Half of me can't wait to go but the other half doesn't want to go to somewhere completely unfamiliar."

"Scared of going away from home?" of the red headed children giggled.

"Seth, don't be mean," Hermione scolded.

"I'm not scared of going away from home, I'm scared of getting lost. I can't see," Kai explained quietly for the younger boy. Many of the children gave an 'oh' of understanding.

"That the reason for the sunglasses?" a little red headed girl asked.

"Yup," Kai shrugged, "And the cane."

"So do you fall over?" the same little girl giggled.

"Beth!" Hermione gasped.

"Sometimes," Kai answered with a pleasant smile.

"Will you be alright on the train? If you can't see?" a little boy with thick brown hair and deeply tanned skin asked.

"John," this time it Alicia to lightly scold.

"I don't mind the questions. I'm used to them. And my cane helps me see and I'm sure someone will be kind enough to help," Kai answered pleasantly once again.

"How come yours are so well behaved and ours are little terrors?" Ron asked, grabbing hold of a little boy who was about to run off on an exploration, "Zach, stay with the rest of us."

"But I want to play!" the little boy complained.

"Later," Ron told him.

"Well behaved?" Draco laughed, "This is a miracle." He smiled at his children warmly, "Evil little things usually, absolute monsters." Elly and Kian giggled together. "Especially this one." Draco pulled Jamie to him making Elly and Kian giggled even more. "Right little terror." For good measure Draco tickled Jamie's sides and the boy laughed loudly as he escaped.

"There's Uncle Harry!" one of the many red heads shouted, pointing to the entrance to the platform. "I'll go get him!" The little boy had dashed off before anyone could stop him.

"Julian!" Fleur called out in her still heavily accented English. Her son was already on his way back however with Harry, Jason and Teddy in tow, the boys pushing their trolleys.

"Hiya Harry, boys," Rom said cheerfully, "Look who we bumped into again."

"Hello Draco," Harry said quietly.

"Harry," Draco replied, equally as quiet. Bill and George looked at each other with identical expressions on their faces; they hadn't missed the projected feelings from the two. After all this time they still cared for each other? "How are you?"

"Good. You? You're children?" Harry asked, looking around them.

"We're good," Draco answered, "We're um…good."

"We're moving!" Kian cried happily. Everyone looked to him and he ducked behind Draco's legs again.

"You're moving? Where?" Hermione asked.

"Well now that Kian's told you all…" Draco looked down at his son.

"Sorry," Kian mumbled.

"It's ok, we just need to teach you a little tact. We're moving into the Manor, to be with my father," Draco told the group, "Bit of change."

"Are you kidding? It's a huge change!" Jamie shouted happily.

"People are starting to get on board dad," Teddy said quietly, nodding to the train, "I'm gonna go drop my trunk off and then find my friends."

"Ok Teddy, see you later," Harry said easily.

"Huh?" Draco asked, "Aren't you going to say goodbye properly?"

"I'm the Quidditch and Flying teacher at Hogwarts," Harry answered, "Starting this year, Hermione asked me to."

"Oh," Draco said quietly.

"Clive didn't like it," Jason sniggered. Harry told him to shush.

"Who's Clive?" Draco asked.

"My boyfriend," Harry replied awkwardly.

"Oh, good for you," Draco said with a slightly fake smile, "What does do?"

"He's a Wizarding Lawyer," Harry answered looking away, "But enough about me, let's get everyone who needs to be on the train on the train."

"Time for goodbyes," Ron said calmly, "I'll see you in the holidays Jeremy." He pulled his son into a hug even though the red headed boy obviously didn't want one. He gave his wife a hug next. "And I'll see you later for dinner."

"You sure you'll be alright getting all the kids home?" Hermione asked.

"Course I'll be alright. I'm the Chief Auror, I can do anything," Ron laughed loudly, obviously taking the piss of his own position. They noticed Draco frowning, "Hermione works at Hogwarts but lives at home. Dissaporates to and from Hogsmeade every day." Draco nodded.

"Come on then Jeremy, on we get," Hermione said, urging her son onto the train, a son who protested with a loud 'muuuuuuum'. "It was nice seeing you again Draco. Don't be a stranger." Draco nodded. George and Alicia were saying goodbye to Fred who soon followed Jeremy onto the train. Bill and Fleur were talking to Dominique who didn't follow her cousins, instead waiting for something.

"Would you like to ride with me on the train?" she asked Kai cheerfully.

"Oh. Er, sure. Thanks," Kai answered, turning to his dad. "Well I'll see you all in the Holidays. I'll write, you'd better reply."

"Course we'll reply," Draco smiled and pulled Kai into a hug, "Take care of yourself. And I'm only a call away."

"I know dad. Bye everyone," Kai said.

"Bye Kai," Kian and Elly said tearfully, hugging him quickly.

"See yah," Jamie said, not hugging Kai. They watched as Dominique helped Kai onto the train, the pair of them chatting happily.

"You have a lovely daughter," Draco told Bill and Fleur calmly.

"Thank you," Bill said. Fred was the next to get on, rushing to get away from his family and get to his cousins, wiping his mums lipstick off his cheek. He didn't like kisses on the cheek.

"Well I'll be seeing you," Harry said to everyone, Draco included, "Let's get on the train Jason."

"Jay," Jason insisted.

"You're my son and I named you Jason," Harry smiled as his son huffed and followed Fred onto the train. Just before getting on Harry stopped and turned to Draco, "It was nice to see you again."

"Nice seeing you too," Draco said and then Harry was gone, on the train.

"Wear your heart on your sleeve and it'll get hurt," Ron said lightly.

"Huh?" Draco asked him in surprise.

"I'm not blind," he nodded to the door Harry had just gone through.

"No you're not. But it's…long over. I think I'm safe from heart break," Draco told him sadly. The train started making lots of noise all of a sudden, it was getting ready to go, to take it's passengers to Hogwarts.

"Look daddy!" Kian cried excitedly, jumping up and down pulling on Draco's hand, "It's like Thomas the tank engine!"

"What is it with children and trains?" Ron asked as his children were watching with the same excitement.

"I have no idea but they're all the same," Draco answered. The trains whistle gave to loud blasts and all of the carriage doors slamming closed of their own accord. Two more sharp blasts and the train was pulling away from the platform. "Wave bye to Kai." He said, doing so just as everyone else on the station was. Kids were leaning out of every possible window of the train to say goodbye.

"Why? He wont see us?" Jamie asked.

"Fine then, don't," Draco shrugged. Jamie joined in only a few moments after Elly and Kian. "Right, lets go do some exploring." Draco calmly took the food bag from Jamie, a thing he'd looked after all this time and turned to the Weasleys. "It was nice seeing you all again and meeting your many, many children."

"The same to you," Bill said.

"We'll have to meet up, Christmas or something," George suggested.

"Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Say goodbye to everyone," Draco ordered his children cheerfully.

"Bye," the all chorused.

"Bye," the Weasleys all chorused back.

"Can we go shopping now daddy?" Elly asked.

"We can go window shopping," Draco said, taking Kians hand in his free hand as they walked back to the stations entrance.

"But I don't want to buy windows," the little girl said with a frown. Draco wasn't the only one to laugh, the Weasley adults that heard laughed too before they started making their own way off the station, the train now completely out of sight.

A/N Sorry this took ages, small bit of writers block. Next Chapter 'On The Train'.
