Hi! This is a story I am doing with my friend, whinniethepoohlovesbunnies. We are doing the first chapter with the same storyline, and after that we'll just see how different they get. If you want to check out her story, she's on my favorite authors list, feel free to go look. (Morgan, Mel and I put ourselves in the story so we put you in too. Yay!)

The Next Generation

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, so don't sue me.

James Potter, Jennica and Elizabeth (Liz) Weasley, and Morgan Longbottom were walking home from school the day before March break. "I can't believe Epans gave us detention before a break! I mean, is it even humanly possible to be that evil?" James complained

"Obviously yes, Epans is proof. But what gets me is that it wasn't even for a good reason! I mean, all we did was defend our parents, who he was insulting even though he has NEVER met them," Jennica exclaimed.

Morgan commented," Well, since when is that new. You would think he would have a medal for most unfair, evil teacher ever, especially to us."

"Well, at least the detention is over, now we can go home and get started on the mountains of homework he assigned over the holidays," Liz said in a falsely cheerful voice, and then she sighed. "Honestly, we won't be able to eat or sleep if we plan on getting it all done!"

"And I definitely won't have time to baby sit Quincey! Wait; is that such a bad thing?" Morgan broke off pensively.

"Well, that's only if," James said as they turned onto their street. "Since he already hates us, we might as well not kill ourselves doing that homework!" Laughing, they all headed to Morgan's house, where their parents were having a barbeque.

"There you are, we were wondering when you would show up," Hermione said, staring at them in such a way that they knew an explanation was required.

"Sorry, the most evil teacher in the history of the world, no, universe, made us stay back for, like, three hours," Jennica explained to her parents, aunts, and uncles.

"Oh, come on, he can't be worse than our old teacher, you guys know who I mean," Ron said, sharing a knowing look with Harry and Hermione, who nodded in agreement.

"Do you know what?" Ginny said, standing up. "You guys have been complaining about this teacher since the beginning of the school year. I say we go have a word with him right now and straighten this whole thing out." She picked up baby Quincey and started looking for his stroller.

"NO!!!" all the kids shouted unanimously.

"The best part of the March break is that we get to go a whole week without seeing Epans," James explained. Luna laughed.

"We are going to see your teacher and that's final," Neville said, "What your mother says goes." Ginny grinned and kissed him on the cheek. Grumbling, James, Jennica, Liz, and Morgan went to get their bikes and rode ahead to the school, while their parents walked behind.

Harry was looking at some of the many detention slips from Mr.Epans when he noticed something. "Hey, does anybody else think this handwriting looks familiar? Especially on a detention note." Ron grabbed it and quickly came to the same conclusion.

Hermione didn't recognize the handwriting so much, but soon she made a shocking discovery. "Oh my goodness, Epans is Snape backwards! It's probably just a coincidence, though," she said pensively.

"Whatever. Don't you just love her when she does that whole smart thing?" Ron said, grinning.

"Sorry mate, I'm with Luna. I'm forbidden to all comments," joked Harry.

Once they got to the school, they met up with their kids, who showed them to their fifth grade classroom.

"And through this door is our classroom which our teacher is probably still in, so we should leave now, so as to not disturb him," Morgan said hopefully.

"Nice try, Morgan, we want to meet this teacher we've been hearing so much about all year," said Ginny, with a small smile as she pushed open the door. Mr. Epans was standing in a corner of the room, and he turned to face the door. For a moment, everyone froze in shock, but only for a moment.

"Well, this clears up a lot of confusion! No wonder our kids hate you and call you the evilest person in the world!" Harry spat at Epans (who was really Snape).

"Dad!" shouted James, looking worried. Morgan and Jennica looked worried too, whereas Liz looked like she was about to pass out.

James might have been whispering for all the attention he got. Harry, Ron and Snape pulled out their wands, and Hermione and Ginny pulled the kids and Quincey out of the line of fire. "Hey! Two against one? That's not fair!" Snape yelled. "You're not fair," Ron pointed out. "Fair enough," shrugged Snape, rolling up his sleeves.

"Okay, I am now very extremely confused," Jennica quietly said to James, Liz, and Morgan, who all nodded in agreement.
