Chapter 1

-----------

"Jason and Samantha Potter get down here now or you are going to miss the train!" Harry Potter yelled. He was standing at the foot of the stairs in the house he shared with his children and wife. Two 16-year-old teenagers came running down the stairs. The girl had long dark, red hair and green eyes. The boy had messy black hair and the same green eyes.

"Merlin dad, no need to yell, we're ready," said Jason. Harry laughed and hurried after them. Before they knew it, they were standing on platform 9 3/4.

"Now be good and remember to write," Ginny Potter told her children with great concern.

"Listen to the professors, not to mention Headmistress McGonagall! And don't walk around alone. And keep an eye on one another!"

"Don't worry mom, we'll be good," Samantha assured her while eyeing her brother. Ginny smiled and hugged both of her children.

"Get on the train or it will leave without you," said Harry hastily. Jason and Samantha waved their goodbyes and got on the train just in time.

When they were on the train they spilt up to find their friends. Jason and Samantha were both in their sixth year and in Gryffindor

Samantha found her friends quickly. She entered the compartment and found them all in a deep conversation about the latest witches weakly.

"They did choose the right wizard with the cutest smile this year," One of the girls said with a goofy smile. Her brown hair only just brushed her shoulders, and unlike most of the students on the train she was already in her school robes. Samantha recognized her immediately as one of her two best friends, Sarah.

"Hey Sam," The other girl in the compartment said. She had long blonde hair and slightly more pale than the two other girls. This was Molly. "We were wondering if we were gonna see you today." She greeted Samantha with a friendly smile. Samantha returned the smile and sat down next to her. It didn't take more than a few seconds before the conversation was flowing freely about their holidays.

After a while, four boys came into the compartment led by Jason. "Hey guys," Samantha greeted them. Molly smiled at them but then turned to look out of the window. Of all the girls Samantha had met at Hogwarts, Molly seemed to be the one who were the quietest one around boys. She never really joined in on the conversation when they were around. Sometimes only to make them realize she was there. When Sam and Sarah were talking about guys she never gave her opinion. Sarah send the boys a smile as well.

The four boys made their way to sit opposite the three girls. "Hey cous'," said a red haired boy sitting next to Jason. His face lit up into a great smile.

"Hey Michael," Samantha said.

Michael was the son of Ron and Hermione, so the cousin of Jason and Sam. He had inherited the red hair and blue eyes from his father, but the brightness of his mother, so Michael managed to get fair grades without lifting a finger.

The two other boys were David McGregor and Kevin Wood. Kevin was the son of Oliver and Katie Wood. David, unlike the rest of the boys was in Ravenclaw but he was often seen with Jason, Kevin and Michael since they had known each other since first grade.

"How was your holiday, Sam?" Kevin asked.

"It was all right," she answered.

"It was better than all right," Michael assured his friend, "She was at my house basically all summer so it must have better than all right!" He grinned at her.

"Oh sorry, I must have forgotten," Sam said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. Jason let out a small laugh along with everyone else in the compartment. When Jason and Sam weren't in school they were mostly with their parents and the rest of the family.

"What have you been doing all summer, Kevin?" Sarah asked.

"Flying around on a broom mostly," He answered with a sigh.

"Your dad is still having you practice Quidditch even over the summer?" David asked.

"Yeah. It was great in the beginning but when you do it every day it gets boring after a while."

"Look on the bright side. With you on the team we are gonna have a hard time losing this year," said Jason, grinning at his friend. The conversation stayed on the Quidditch subject for a while, before the sixth years decided to go change into school robes. Not long after, the Hogwarts Express pulled up to the small station of Hogsmeade.

When they finally reached Hogwarts, Samantha, Molly and Sarah made their way to the Great Hall, where the traditional feast was about to start. Suddenly Jason came up to them and asked, "Hey Sam, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure," she answered before turning to the other two girls, "You two go ahead, I'll catch up with you later." When the two girls were out of sight, she turned back to Jason, "So what's up?"

"Well, I sorta need your help," He said nervously.

"You have only had all summer to ask me but sure go ahead," she said smiling.

"I didn't want anyone to figure it out and there has been people around us all summer." Their father had married into a great family, so it had been hard to get some time to themselves this summer.

"True. So what's on your mind?"

"Well…Molly," he said in a very low voice.

"Molly?"

"Will you keep it down?"

"Sorry. What about her?"

"Well I kinda," he hesitated. He bit his lip before looking up at Samantha, "like her. I think." he continued, "I would just like to know, since you two are close friends and everything, if you knew if she, well, like me back."

Samantha thought about what he had just said for a while. Jason was very popular in school and most girls seemed to adore him. Frankly she found it a bit unbelievable that he would like someone like Molly, but he got the impression that he was telling the truth. Honestly she didn't know what to answer.

"I don't know," she told him truthfully "she never talks about you. She never talks about any guy really."

Jason sighed and looked down, "I guess we both know what that means."

Again she didn't know what to say. Jason seemed to really like Molly. "I'll see what I can do," she said hoping with would cheer him up a bit, "come on, let's go down to the great hall."

They walked through the corridor, where the conversation changed, which didn't mind Jason at all. They started talking about some of the memories they had made this summer. Jason seemed to quickly get in a better mood and laughed along with Samantha.

"Well, well, well, isn't it the Potter twins!" A cold voice suddenly said in front of them. Jason and Samantha looked up to find Jonathan Malfoy, son of Draco Malfoy, in front of them.

"Well, well, well isn't it the only child, Malfoy!" Jason said back, narrowing his eyes. Their parents had always told them to stay away from the Malfoys and Jason had every intention to do so. Since the day they met at the sorting in their first year Jason and Jonathan had hated each other. Some days he even wondered why he was even let into Hogwarts with the family history Jonathan had.

Malfoy eyed Jason angrily. "Looks like you and your sister are still alive. Didn't your father kill you yet?" he said. Ever since the day Harry Potter at killed Voldemort, Jonathan had asked them this.

"Say what, did your granddad get out of prison yet? I heard your father tried to get him out but failed. Is this the destiny for every Malfoy in this world?" Jason asked, his temper rising.

"Watch your mouth, Potter. Your dear daddy will never catch my - "

"Yet," Sam interrupted with a cough.

Malfoy looked at her angrily before turning away. He always did that when he didn't know what to answer. Both, Jason and Samantha let out a laugh before walking into the Great Hall where they sat down with their friends.

The feast began. Several students had been sorted into Gryffindor and all of the Gryffindors had roared with applause.

"Molly hurry up!" Sarah yelled about a week later. She, Samantha and Molly ran down the corridor and into the transfiguration classroom. Just behind them came professor McGonagall. Even though she was getting old, now the headmistress, she would not give up teaching. Every student always told their sons and daughters that they should be thankful for this. Samantha, Molly and Sarah took their seats and took out their wands.

"I have never had a more boring transfiguration class," Samantha complained when the class had finally finished. She sat down at a table in the library.

"Well maybe that's because you didn't know how to turn your owl into a glass," Jason teased and took a seat next to Michael. She stuck her tongue out at him and he did the same. Michael and Sarah shook their heads at them and returned to the potions essay they were doing.

Even though Jason and Samantha were twins, they were completely different at some points. Jason was really good at transfiguration while Sam was really good at Potions. Either way, they always seemed to get pretty good grades, even though one of them was better than the other.

"Hey Sam, why do they use owl nails in a -," Sarah started but was interrupted by Molly who came running into the library, completely out of breath. Everyone stared at her while she tried to calm herself a bit. She pulled her blond hair behind her ears nervously and said, "You better come with me."

Michael, Jason, Sarah and Sam exchanged looks before getting up and followed Molly. She led the way out to the Hogwarts grounds and at the edge of the forest they found David. He was lying unconscious on the ground.

"We gotta get him to the hospital wing," Michael decided quickly. He and Jason carried David up to the castle.

Sarah and Samantha turned to Molly and gave her a hug before leading her up to the castle. They walked down the corridor to the hospital wing and found Michael and Jason sitting outside. "Madam Pomfrey wouldn't allow us to stay as she tried to wake him up so we decided to wait here," Michael explained as he saw Sarah's quizzical look. She nodded and sat down next to him. Samantha and Molly followed.

Molly seemed to be extremely nervous. She kept looking around and had a scared look on her face. Eventually Sarah stood up and everyone looked at her in confusion. "We forgot our bags in the library," she explained.

"I will help you get them," Samantha said. "Michael?"

"Sure, I suppose I could give a hand," he said and got up. The three Gryffindors left Michael and Molly.

He scooted over to sit next to her. She looked down, trying to avoid his gaze. "Are you alright?" He asked softly and thought for himself, 'of course she isn't great start, Potter!'

She looked up at him and for the first time, Jason noticed how beautiful golden brown her eyes really were. "I'm worried," she finally said. Tears were starting to appear in her eyes, "I couldn't find any teachers and -," she continued, sobbing, "And I took a long time to think of what to next. Then I finally found you guys." She took a deep breath and continued, "What if he is dead? What if I just had been a bit faster? Maybe he wouldn't be."

Jason put an arm around her and pulled her closer, "We don't know if he is dead," he said softly, "It is not your fault. You found him. What if you hadn't? Then he might have been dead.

"Thanks Jason," she smiled sadly making his heart skip a beat.

"You're welcome," he said, hugging her sideways again.
