The Grand Reunion of HE leavers.

Natalie Patterson smiled to herself as she walked through the familiar bridge and into the stone courtyard which took her breath away to this day as it had 20 years ago when she had first entered it as a new first year pupil at Hogwarts. Her daughters, Tomorrow and Heidi, were now fourth and first year pupils at the school. Her husband Parker, a beautifully handsome American man with blue eyes and dark hair, followed gracefully in her wake. When she stopped walking, so did he, and they stood staring up at the magnificent school. Hogwarts.

'So, this is where you went to school? Have to say, it's a little shabbier than Beauxbatons,' Parker grinned at me.
'Hey, shut up...not all of us are perfect. I needed to be somewhere which would allow me to make mistakes,' Natalie grimaced at him, 'would you rather we transferred the girls to Beauxbatons?'
'No, no...definitely not...they're too imperfectly perfect, like their mother.'
'Parker, you are an idiot. You make no sense, but thank you. That's sweet. Come on, lets go inside, I suspect there'll be some familiar faces...'

Hayley Parker was standing in the Entrance Hall of Hogwarts, gazing around, remembering everything that had happened twenty years previously. She bit her lip nervously at the thought of seeing people she hadn't seen in so long, but then again, the though of seeing her friends made her smile. She looked at her son Dallas, who was in his fourth year at Hogwarts.
'I hope you appreciate your time here,' she said, thinking of the trouble her and her friends used to get in to.
She turned around as Natalie and her family entered, and her grin widened. 'It's good to see you,' she said, stepping towards her.

'Merlin...Hayley? Is that you?' Natalie smiled, flicking her long fringe back from her face and staring at the other girl, laughing slight 'of course it is...you haven't changed a bit. I don't think you know my husband. This is Parker.'
'Ah, so this is the infamous Hayley with a last name like my first name?' Parker smiled, his dazzling blue eyes shining and he took Hayley's hand in his and kissed it.
'I do apologize for my husband's forwardness. He's a bit of a charmer. It's how he got me to settle down. Mind you I have no idea how I got him to settle. He's a bit of an extrovert. But of course, aren't we all?'

Hayley laughed. 'Well we certainly were when we were at school,' she said, smiling at Natalie and Parker.
'Nice to meet you Parker, by the way,' she added, and she smiled in greeting at Natalie's two children.
'This is Dallas,' she said, and Dallas smiled at his mother's friends.
'We had some good times here, didn't we?' said Hayley, looking around her. Dallas looked at his mother and raised his eyebrows.
'I've heard stories about what you guys did when you were at school....I would be in so much trouble if I got up to half the stuff you did!'

'Ah yes, Dallas. I've been hearing a lot about you from Tomorrow,' Natalie smiled, 'of course you remember Tomorrow, my potion vile baby. And here, we have Heidi. Parker and I's daughter. She's a little disappointed at being sorted into Ravenclaw when her sister's in Gryffindor. But as I keep telling her, all the houses are equally great. We had friends from all the houses. Shadow and Violet were Slytherins and we were all the best of friends. Hogwarts is not as segregated as it once was. It's all about house unity now.'

Hayley nodded in Dallas' direction.
'He got sorted into Hufflepuff and is convinced he's a shame to the family.'
Dallas sniffed and folded his arms. 'No self-respecting wizard would want to be a Hufflepuff.' he said bitterly.
Hayley tried to laugh it off, and raised her eyebrows in Natalie's direction. 'Can you imagine if we were like that in school? We would have had no friends. This is exactly the kind of attitude I didn't want any child of mine having.'
She shook her head, and changed the subject. 'So Natalie. It's been so long since we last spoke. How are things? What have you been getting up to?'
