“Tell us again daddy!” Lily said, rising from her seat beside her mum and sitting on Harry’s lap.
“Yeah dad tell us!” said Albus, taking the seat to the left of his father. James, being the oldest rolled his eyes and sat on the floor in front of Harry.
“Go on dad! And don’t miss out the gory details!”
Harry’s triumph over Voldemort was a favourite bedtime story. His 3 children demanded to hear it over and over, taking in every tiny detail, each hoping to be as famous and amazing as their father.
“And the elder wand was left in Dumbledore’s coffin, where it belongs” he finished. Lily had at this point dozed off on Harry’s lap her fiery red hair covering half her face. Albus was desperately trying to stay awake his head lolling around against the seat and James was staring intently at his father.
“Daddy, if I wanted it, could I have the elder wand?” Harry sent him a sharp look.
“Certainly not, it’s dangerous James and you don’t even know basic magic yet. You won’t need a powerful wand when you get to Hogwarts next year.” He paused and glanced uneasily at Ginny. “Lets get your sister and Albus to bed”
He smiled slightly and slowly stood up, holding Lily in his arms tightly. James jabbed Albus hard in the stomach and grabbed his arm, half pulling Albus to his room.
“I’ll be in in a minute to tuck you in” James threw him a discussed look but didn’t say anything. He carried on down the hallway while Harry turned into Lily’s room and laid her in her bed, pulling her duvet up round her chin.
“Night my little princess” He whispered, kissing her gently on the forehead.
“I love you daddy” She whispered back, half asleep, before rolling over and looking at the wall. Harry smiled at his daughters sleeping figure before standing up and walking quickly to James and Albus’ room.
He lent against the doorframe and smiled in at them both. Albus was already curled up in bed asleep while James was sat up intently waiting for him.
“Daddy” he began “Will the wand ever be used again?” Harry sighed and sat down on the end of James’ bed.
“James, that wand brings out the worst in people. You don’t need a powerful wand to be a great wizard.” He paused and looked at James. “No one can use it again. It will remain my wand, but I won’t use it, therefore there is no way for it to be past on to anyone. When I die the wand would die with me. Does that make sense?” James nodded and laid down in his bed.
“Night daddy” he said, before rolling over to sleep.

“Mum I almost forgot” Lily shouted, jumping off the train and running over to her. She kissed her on the cheek and did the same to Harry “Love you guys!” she shouted over her shoulder as she ran onto the train.
Albus poked his head out the window and grinned at his parents before being dragged into the carriage, his head replaced by James’
“Are you’re N.E.W.T’s really that bad?” he asked panic written all over his face but before Ginny or Harry could answer the train began to pull away. They settled with waving instead.
Inside the carriage Lily pushed open the door to her brothers, bringing with her Rose and Hugo. They grinned at each other and sat down.
“So anyone seen Scorpius yet?” asked Lily. Like their parents the Weasley’s and Potters had been enemies with the Malfoys since they first set eyes on each other and they spent a lot of their time fighting in corridors.
“Yes…” said Albus quietly. Lily rounded on him.
“Well?!” she asked
“He was talking to the Zabini's about the elder wand” he said even quieter. The group exchanged nervous glances.
“He knows about it?” she asked.
“He has it. He pulled it out of his bag, says all he has to do it get someone to disarm dad then kill or disarm whoever disarmed him. Then the wands his."
They all looked coldly at Albus. James narrowed his eyes.
"Did he say anything else?" he snapped.
Albus looked nervously around.
"Only that he's got the resurrection stone..." he said quietly and exremely fast "And that he dad was spineless and weak and he alone would bring back the dark lord" he shivered slightly and looked around, hoping that someone would start laughing and tell him how ridiculas that was. No one did. There was a brief moment of silence.
“He’s bluffing” exclaimed Rose. “Your dad dropped the stone in the middle of the forbidden forest, there’s no way he could have found it…” she glanced round.
“Yeah” continued Hugo “And even Scorpius hasn’t got the guts to disturbed a grave, especially not Dumbledores”
The 5 glanced nervously at each other before discussing in hushed voices what this could mean. Was Scorpius bluffing? Did he really have the elder wand? And above all, what was he planning?
No one said it was over…..
Elder Wand
