Hello, its someoneorother123 here with a new Harry Potter story! This is about the second generation of Hogwarts with all the Weasley cousins etc but I've changed the families a bit from the actual book. The one's that will stay the same are Bill's Percy's and Harry's. Also I've decided to keep Fred alive because I promised my sister I would write a fanficiton where Fred is alive and I am still sad after his death :( So I really hope you enjoy this first chapter and please review to tell me what you think!
Chapter 1- The Letter
Today's the day, Albus thought. The day he received his Hogwarts letter. Or didn't. He was very nervous that he might not receive it, that he might be a squib.
He finally got out of bed later then he normally did, he was eager to see if the letter had arrived yet. He walked down the stairs into the kitchen, his mother and younger sister Lily were already up.
"Good Morning Albus," his mother said.
"Mum, has the mail arrived yet?" Albus asked excitedly.
His mother laughed. "No not yet, are you expecting something? Like maybe a letter?" She replied.
"He wants his Hogwarts letter. But he probably won't get it, he's probably a squib," Lily said, poking her tongue out at her older brother.
"Don't be silly Lily of course he'll get his letter," his mother said, sliding a piece of toast onto Albus' plate. He began to eat the toast, still worrying that Lily might be right.
"Ginny, has the mail arrived yet?" Harry asked, walking into the room.
Ginny laughed. "That's exactly what Albus said when he got up," she said. Lily giggled.
"Well, has it?" Harry asked. Ginny shook her head. "Where's James?" Harry continued.
"He's still asleep, he's always asleep," Lily replied, referring to their thirteen year-old brother.
Right at that second James walked down the stairs into the room. "Is breakfast ready?" He asked, sitting down at the table.
Ginny rolled her eyes and slid a piece of toast onto James' plate. She had to duck as two owls swooped in through the open window.
"The letters are here!" Albus said excitedly.
He unwrapped his letter from the brown owl that had landed in front of him. James began to do the same with the owl in front of him. Albus quickly scanned the letter.
Dear Mr. Potter
We are pleased to announce that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy.
Please find attached a list of necessary books and equipment for this year.
We await your owl by not later then the 31st of July. Terms begins on the 1st of September.
Your Sincerly
Professor Filius Flitwick
Deputy Headmaster
Albus was so excited he could barely speak. "I'm going to Hogwarts!" He finally said.
"Congratulations," Harry and Ginny said, beaming down at him.
"Let me see that," Lily said, swiping the letter out of Albus' hand. He began to read the list of equipment, getting more and more excited.
There was a loud knock on the door and nine people walked in. Ron and Hermione and their seven children, Remus, Alastor, Lavender, Regulus, Harry, Cedric and Nymph. They lived right next door to the Potter's.
"Did you get your letter?" Lavender asked Albus, running over to him. She was his age and they would both be first-years.
"Yeah, did you?" Albus replied. She nodded happily.
"Remus, come on, I need to show you something," James said to Remus, they were best friends though Remus was a year younger. They rushed upstairs to James' bedroom.
The adults began to chat together so all the kids went upstairs to the bedrooms. They were all very good friends, their parents were best friends, they were cousins and they were neighbours.
"I'm so excited I just want to go to Hogwarts now!" Lavender said, she looked a lot like her mother, long, wavy, light brown hair and brown eyes.
"Me neither, though James says that some of the classes are really hard," Albus said.
"Al, you need to come over later today and play some Quidditch, you haven't been over in ages," ten year-old Regulus said, he and Albus were best friends.
"I will, don't worry," Albus replied.
"So, what should we do?" Cedric, their seven year-old brother asked. But he was interrupted by Ron yelling at them that they were going to go.
"Well bye, I'll see you later, remember to come over for Quidditch!" Regulus said.
Albus waved goodbye to the Weasley's before getting ready for the day, he hadn't gotten dressed before they had arrived. He put on the nearest clothes, quickly combed his black hair and fixed his glasses, he looked a lot like Harry.
"So little brother, you got your letter," James said, walking into the room.
"Obviously," Albus replied.
"I was sure you were going to be a Squib, it was quite a bit of a shock that you got your letter," James teased. Albus rolled his eyes.
"Well I'm not a Squib, I'm a wizard and I bet I'll be better then you!" Albus retorted. The brothers usually fought like this.
Later that day Albus, James and Lily went over to the Weasley's house to play Quidditch, they had to go round the back way because walking down the streets of Godric's Hollow with broomsticks usually attracted quite a lot of attention.
The Weasley's house was very messy and a bit bigger then the Potter's. Hermione had given up long ago at tidying up after her seven children and Ron.
"They're here!" Albus heard Regulus call.
The Weasley kids ran down the stairs with their broomsticks, when the parents played they had enough for two full teams but when it was only the kids they could only play five-a-side. Meaning there were only two Chaser's and no Seeker.
"Alright so I'll be captain of one team and James'll be captain of the other," Remus said.
"Okay. On my team I'll have Lavender, Lily, Harry and Nymph," James said.
"All the girls? So I have Alastor, Albus, Regulus and Cedric," Remus said. "Where is Alastor anyway. Alastor! Come and play Quidditch with us!" Remus called up to a window on the second floor.
Alastor peeked his head out of the window, he looked nothing like the rest of the family with his dark hair. "Fine, I'll play," he said.
Alastor and Remus were twins, but as different as you could get. Remus was very talkative, confident and lively whilst Alastor rarely spoke and was very shy, yet they were still about as close as you could get.
"Alright, let's start. Team meeting!" Remus called. Both teams were evenlly matched. Remus, James and Lavender were by far the best players but James' team also had Nymph who was only five years old.
"Can I go Beater?" Cedric asked.
"Sure, Alastor you can be the other beater, Reg and I can go Chaser's and Albus can be the Keeper, is that good?" Remus replied.
Everyone nodded, happy with their positions. Albus generally preferred Seeker but there was none in five-a-side.
"Let's go then! Go... Kenmare Kestrels!" Remus said. The Kenmare Kestrels were the Quidditch team he went for.
Regulus rolled his eyes. "The Kestrels suck," he said, earning himself a shove from Remus.
James got out the Quidditch kit the Weasley's owned and they began to play. Albus mounted his Nimbus 3000 and flew over to the hoops as the game began.
Albus watched as Remus ducked in between the other team, he was a brilliant Chaser. Suddenly a Bludger knocked by Lily flew towards him, almost knocking him off his broom. Lavender flew under and grabbed the Quaffle, she was almost as good as her brother. She flew towards the hoops and Albus prepared himself.
The red Quaffle sailed towards him and he reached out to grab it.
His team cheered. "Great save Al!" Regulus called to him, giving him the thumbs up.
The game eventually finished. When they played five-a-side they played first to 100. James' team won.
"Ha, I won little brother, that means we are better then you," James told Albus as they walked home, his arm around Lily.
Lily poked her tongue out at him and ran ahead, Albus sighed, sometimes he felt like he didn't fit in with his family. James and Lily were so close and he felt like he had no one.
"Did you win?" Harry asked as they walked back into their house.
"Well, Lily and I won but Albus didn't," James replied.
"Good, good, ah well Al maybe we can play again tomorrow," Harry said.
Albus nodded before walking upstairs, back to his room. He took out his letter again and began to read it. He still couldn't believe that he would soon be going to Hogwarts. He'd be able to make heaps of new friends and go on adventures like his father had. He'd never been so excited for anything in his life.
So there's the first chapter, I really hope you enjoyed it! It was just sort of their daily life. And as you can see I've changed Ron and Hermione's children so now they have Remus, 12, Alastor, 12, Lavender, 11, Regulus, 10, Harry, 8, Cedric, 7, and Nymphadora, 5. Please review, I'd love to here what you think!
