Some fifty years after Harry Potter's triumph over the dark lord, Caleb James O'Shannon had just celebrated his 17th birthday. His smile as bright as the midday son and his eyes the same deep intense light blue as his fathers. James O'Shannon was a simple wizard, he worked his 9-5 in the muggle world and was otherwise very to himself. He did however stress to his children the importance of good connections in the wizarding world and now in the 7th year of Caleb's Hogwarts jaunt he was set and ready for the most amazing school year of his life.

The boy had had several girlfriends through his years, and honestly it was expected by his parents and his friends. His fair features, light silky smooth skin, countered by those fierce blue eyes made him easily the most beautiful boy in the school. His company however wasn't all that different. They had a four man posse, Caleb, Dustin, Leo, and Caleb's "cousin", Gage Weasley. Gage wasn't exactly Caleb's cousin but they had grown up with each other. Their families had been friends for generations now.

Caleb had a knack for animals, as his family had for generations before him. A family of dragon wranglers, a lot of people found his parents occupation to be stupid and foolish, however he loved it more then quidditch on a rainy day. Caleb had been a permanent fixture on the Gryffindor quidditch team since his second year, and would've been named captain were it not for that damned Potter. It wasn't like Caleb didn't like him, actually…that was exactly it. He couldn't stand the little shit.

It was always 'Oh Potter is so brilliant' 'Potter is such an inspiration'. Potter this, Potter that, It was ridiculous. Caleb had scored higher then the Potter protégé on his O.W.L.S. and will more then likely score the highest in his class on this years N.E.W.T.S. as well. The bottom line, he was smarter, more talented, and absolutely more handsome then the damned Potter boy. This year though, this year he wasn't sitting in the shadow of the little shit. This year, was his year.

"Hey Gramps!" Caleb yelled in his thick Irish accent as he walked over to the tent across from his parents. Their family had worked and lived in the same camp for God only knows how long. "Gramps!" He called again

"What?!" the even thinker Irish accent called back as Jonas O'Shannon stepped out of the tent, his grey speckled beard and salt and pepper hair staring back at him with intent. "Jesus Caleb ya gonna give me a heart attack."

Caleb chuckled lightly and walked up to him hugging the man in his late fifties. "I'm off to Hogwarts, was hoping you'd walk me to the portkey and give me one of those world famous talks of yours." He smiled a little as his grandfather wrapped his arm around his broad shoulders and walked with him.

"This is your last year right?" Jonas asked looking up toward the hill where a simple tin can sat.

"Yeah, I'll probably be back here to work afterward. Maybe you'll let me work full time now. Seeing as how you an' Charlie own the entire camp now-a-days." He said looking over and up a little at him. His grandfather was older now but he was still a beast of a man.

"We'll see what your thinking at the end of the year, but I wan ya to do something for me why your up there in Scotland." He said patting his shoulder. "Have some fun kid. This is your last year. Don'cha worry bout them tests or anything, find yourself a nice girl and have some fun. Understand?"

"Gramps come on…Mom'll have my head if I fail my N.E.W.T.S." He said shaking his head a little.

"Will she now?" He said with a bit of a chuckle. "Alright, here." He said lifting the small book out of his back pocket. "A list of all my favorite spells and potions. Your brilliant little head should have some fun with that. Oh and one more request." Jonas said as they neared the top of the hill. "No more losing your quidditch matches alright? If you win the cup this year you may not have to worry about coming to work with the dragons. You're a beast with the quaffle in your hands son." He said slapping his shoulder. "Go get em."

Caleb hugged his grandfather and smiled up at him. "Love you Gramps, don't forget to write." He chuckled as Jonas urged him through the portkey.

Caleb stepped through the front doors only to be bombarded by the three of his best friends. He shook all their hands and hugged Gage. "Hey guys, How you been?" He said as they made their way into the Great hall for the opening day feast. They all exchanged information on their summers as they sat and ate until the Head master stood. Silence rang through the hall and the usually serious face of their headmaster turned to a slight smile. "Welcome back, my dear students." The Headmaster spoke, his eyes rolling over the students. "For you first year students, I am Headmaster Neville Longbottom. I hope you all have a wonderful time this year, and learn a little in the process." He gave a small wink through his weathered features and messy black hair. "Our Caretaker Mr. Brown would like to inform everyone no one but the seventh year Prefects and house boys and girls will be allowed out of the dorms after 11:30." He smiled lightly "Which reminds me, Can I have our Heads of House step forward and call up their prefects and Head boy and girls?"

Four people stood instant, to the far left, a tall lanky man with long black hair and piercing black eyes gazed around at them. This was the Head of Slytherin house and their new Transfiguration teacher, Professor Durton. The next was the Raven claw Head of house, and their charms teacher Professor McGowan. The hufflepuff head was a small, petitely built woman who taught Muggle history, Caleb could never really remember her name. Then there was a large man at the end. This man had been Caleb's idol since he was a boy. He watched as he stepped out and Gage elbowed his side.

"Look its your man crush."

"Shut the hell up." Caleb said glaring over at him for a minute before looking back up to their head of house. Viktor Krum didn't go to Hogwarts when he was in school, however he was still a more then capable student, however that wasn't all. He was the leading scorer for any Chaser in the international quidditch league and held the record for most points scored in a single game. Only Caleb would know stuff like that, but it wasn't all that hard to figure out.

Caleb watched as the three others called up their students, not paying attention at all, even when Gage's sister, a ravenclaw, was called up as the prefect for this year even though she was only a 6th year. Then it was Viktor's turn. He opened the small box with the badges inside. There was no way Potter was stealing this one from him. Viktor had taught him everything he'd known about being a Chaser, and had been one of his strongest Transfiguration students ever. "Regina Zimmerman, Caleb O'Shannon, and James Potter." He called them up. He grinned wide as he walked up to his mentor and positioned himself so he didn't have to stand next to Potter. He pulled out the first prefect badge and stuck it into Regina's collar. Then the next, He looked from Potter to Caleb and the nervousness was apparent on his face. At that moment he knew exactly what was going to happen. Viktor stepped toward him and stuck the pin on his collar. He was behind Potter again.

He walked back to the table the best possible fake smile on his face as he sat down and they all patted his back and shook his hand. "Sure you didn't get head boy, but you can still sneak us food after we gotta be back in the common room." Dustin said with a chuckle.

"Yeah guess so." He said with a nod as he scanned down the table only for his eyes to clash with Potter's and his blood to boil.

"Easy there cuz," Gage said patting his back. "He ain't worth it, you know that." He jammed his teeth into another chicken leg as Caleb nodded to him.

"Alright guys, think I'm gonna head up to bed. Its been a long day, had to help my dad with a horntail today." He said remembering the bloody wound his dad gained along his stomach because of the blasted animal.

"Alright, we'll see you up there man." Leo said shaking his hand.

"Later boys." He said getting up off the table and straightening his clothes. He slid his wand back into the pocket of his pants and started out the hall. He watched all the people exchanging hello's and nice to see you again's with the random people he passed. He looked over to the Ravenclaw table and caught the eye of Jennifer Weasley, Gage's little sister that just got her prefect badge. She blushed and looked down at her food again as he passed her and stepped out of the great hall.

He took the stairs two at a time all the way up until something caught his attention very suddenly. Well, It wasn't so much that he wanted it to catch his attention, it was that the floor was hard to miss as it crashed into his face. Someone had cast a charm to bind his feet as he climbed. He lifted himself from the ground and pointed the wand first at his feet and muttered something then very calmly pointed it at his face. He turned around and his face looked as perfect as it did before.

Below him, chuckling with his posse of groupies, was James Potter himself. He lifted his wand and the Potter glared at him. His cousin's words echoed in his head. 'he's not worth it cuz'. He grunted slight and murmured. "Nice to see you to asshole." He said turning and moving carefully up the rest of the way.

He stepped through the fat lady's portrait and into the common room without a word, knowing he would have to sleep in the same vicinity of this demonic little shit was going to drive him insane. How could someone who came from the savior of the wizarding world be such an idiot?! He maneuvered his way through the crowded common room, ignoring all the hello's and how are you's. He bound up the stair and slid into the room where his things should have been however when he walked over to where his and Gage's beds once were there was an unfamiliar trunk in his place.

Caleb growled lowly before a voice broke his rage. "Well now that I've taken my rightful spot, you can go ahead and sleep on the third floor with the first years." Potter's voice sounded in his head. He closed his eyes slowly before turning to stare at the much smaller boy. His voice became low, yet steady as he spoke to him.

"Potter, get your shit…Off me bed…" He took a deep breath between the slow emphasized words. "Now…" He said staring him down.

"Or what? You gonna get daddy to send some dragons after me?" James said in that teasing sort of way as he twirled his wand around his fingers.

"I'm gonna ask nicely one more time Potter." He said sliding the wand out of his pocket. "Get your shit off me bed."

James' wand was up in the instant and pointed at him. "Your stuff is already up in your new bed, and I kind of like my new spot." James was fast, but he didn't have the training that Caleb did, or the ability to improvise for that matter. Caleb raised his wand and ducked simultaneously. As he expected, the charm flew over his head and he made his own in the same instant. "Expelliarmus!"

The wand flew from Potter's hand and Caleb caught it and pointed them both at him. "Now, Get your ass up to my trunk carry it down and take your shit up stairs." He said throwing the wand at the ground by his feet. He smiled lightly as James grabbed his wand and stormed back out to the common room. "Accio Trunk" he spoke softly before pointing his wand at the other trunk and dumped it in the middle of the room. His trunk landed softly on his bed and he unpacked his stuff.

He was in the middle of hanging one of his posters of Professor Krum from his playing days when he heard the boys come in behind him. "Hey Caleb, why is Potter's stuff all over the floor?"

"Asshole is already trying to ruin my year, not this time baby…" He said pointing his wand at the wall where the poster stood. "Not this time." He said lowing his wand as the poster seemed to set itself into the wall.

They all chuckled and he called for his broom. The brand new firebolt, it was a beauty. Even Potter couldn't get a better one. "Hey guys, wanna go throw around the quaffle?" He said grinning a little at them.

"Hell no, you always kick our asses…gets boring after a while." Gage said as he plopped onto the bed. Caleb sat down on his own and looked around.

"We got a big year ahead of us boys, we're at the top, unstoppable…." Caleb spoke softly as he closed his eyes. "Unstoppable…"
