My favorite nextgen boy is Lorcan! (surprise yes I know lol) I know that he wasn't mentioned in the Epilogue, but through fics and RPing I have enough of a backstory and headcannon to love him. Plus he's Luna's son and I love Luna so I knew I would love her son. I would really love to know more about him, but I can be happy with my little headcannon. ^^

Hmm my favorite nextgen girl might be Lily. I love how in fics she's the one most people come to her with their problems or she's there to provide help if someone needs it. I'd like to think that there is a bit of mischievous about her that her brothers don't have making her the best choice for Slytherin. ^^

Uuuuuugh, why only one??? Can siblings count as a single unit?? >.<

Okay. Well. Um. I think I'll go with Scorpius Malfoy. While there are various reasons to like all the nextgen kids, I'm going with Scorpius because he's interesting to me to write because of his place in the future of the Malfoy family, and the possible ways his relationship with his father can be portrayed, based on the various ideas of how Draco changed or didn't after the war. There are a lot of nextgen kids who can be interesting for similar reasons, but I chose Scorpius because 1) he is, as far as anyone knows, an only child and thus has no competing siblings and 2) because of the added complexity of Draco. (I can't separate the nextgen kids from their parents' pasts... it's impossible, because the past is going to have an effect on these kids

Scorpius. Yes, I do love Albus and James, I admit it, but Scor is the one I like to play with the most because of my love of Draco. I like to screw around with all the different ways Draco could have turned out, and all the different family dynamics. There are SO MANY ways to go with him, and that makes him my favorite.

Lily Luna is my favorite girl, at least currently, but that's solely because a version of her popped into my head who is SO LOUD it's hard to hear anything else around her. The one in my head is a complete imp.

Hello, fellow Scorpius-by-way-of-Draco fan! :D

Oh, my favorite boy is a tough one to answer, because I love so many of them! Scorpius, James, Lorcan, Lysander are all favorites! But If I must choose one, it would have to be Albus Severus. There is just something about this boy that I adore. It's not too surprising since I adore Harry as well. But I think my love for Albus can also be contributed to the fact that I have such a clear picture of him in my mind and my muse for this character is so very outspoken. He's an absolute delight to write! <3

Choosing a girl is difficult also but for completely different reasons. I don't have a really clear muse for any of the girls. I'll have to go with Rose because she's likely the one I'm most interested in reading and writing. I have some headcanon for her and I ship her in a few different scenarios. I also love Hermione and while I don't think Rose is exactly like her mother, I can see them having similar qualities.

I'm very torn between Teddy and Scorpius, though if I have to choose , I'll pick Teddy today. Being a Metamorphmagus, like his mother, while also being the son of a werewolf, as well as being the only child of two people that are most probably considered heroes, makes him an interesting character to me. There is so much angst potential with Teddy, so many feelings to explore. And yes, he happens to be the son of one of my favourite Marauders:)

I honestly don't have a favourite of the girls, though again, if I have to choose, it would probably be Ron and Hermione's daughter Rose. I imagine that she would be a handful, lol (and not in a bad way).
