Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter nor anything that J.K. Rowling created. I don't own the people who inspired the characters of Jody, Jadzia and Christopher.

AN: Noooo, this story isn't about the golden trio, their descendant, their parents, the reincarnation of dead people that are given a second chance or anything related to the original characters. They may pop in once in a while, but the story is not about them. J.K. pretty much wrote everything that could be written about them. She left us with a world where loads of thing can happen to loads of people. I'm taking advantage of that. Enjoy and flame if you feel like it. Oh, and if you liked it, you can also leave a review, I'll appreciate it.

10 Years Later

Chapter 1

It had been 10 years since the final battle at Hogwarts. Everything in the wizarding world had gone back to normal since then. Diagon Alley looked just as lively and joyful as when a certain young wizard had first set foot in this magical place. In fact, it was that time of year when young wizards from all over Britain were doing some shopping for school. First years were seen getting their first wands, staring at brooms outside the Quidditch store, buying books at Flourish & Blotts, buying some pranking accessories over at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes or having their uniform fitted at Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions. In fact, two little girls were actually having their uniform fitted right at this moment.

One of the girls was Catherine McMahon, an 11 years old bookworm with a love for pranks. She also was very stubborn and had quite a bad temper, just like her cousin Jody, who was standing next to her. Jody Johnson was a rule follower, intelligent and aspiring to become a prefect. She wasn't as much into books as her cousin but she still enjoyed reading a good book every once in a while… especially books with a love story in them.

After the fitting, the two girls returned on Diagon Alley with their parents.

"Mooooom… can we go to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes please?" asked Catherine to her mother with pleading eyes.

"Oh darling… I don't think it is a good idea… " replied her mother slowly, already imagining her daughter being in detention for the next decade.

"But mum… I just wanted to buy a Pygmy Puff. An innocent little Pygmy Puff that wouldn't give me any detention" said Cath with a sweet smile.

Her mother looked at her with a suspicious look and finally said that she could go get her Pygmy Puff after they had gone to Ollivander's and that her cousin would go with her to make sure she would just buy the Pygmy Puff while the parents would start buying their books.

At Ollivander's, Jody managed to find her perfect wand, (willow, 10 ¼ inches, phoenix tail feather) quite fast, not causing too much damage in the store unlike her cousin, who managed to make at least two dozen of boxes explode before finally finding her perfect match (willow, 9 ½ inches, dragon heartstring). Afterwards, the two cousin headed to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes so that Catherine could buy her Pygmy Puff and nothing else but the Pygmy Puff. Of course, Catherine had other plans.

"What are you doing?" asked Jody as she saw Cath picking up numerous things along with the Pygmy Puff.

"Shopping" replied Catherine, still picking up various items before heading to the line to pay for all her stuff.

"But… but… what about your parents?" asked Jody, wondering if her cousin had lost her mind.

"What about them?" asked Cath, barely paying attention.

"Don't you think they'll notice that you bought more than what you were suppose to… way more… and where did you get all that money?"

Cath glanced at her cousin, smirking, before saying: "Oh Jody… you innocent child! I saved my allowance for weeks. Also, do you really think Mr Weasley isn't used to kids wanting to hide what they bought from their parents?"

Catherine was indeed right. Mr Weasley stuffed all her products in a small box marked Pygmy Puff Treats and stuffed, along with that small box, the Pygmy Puff and the food for it. As they were leaving the store Jody stopped, looking at something. Catherine, realizing her cousin wasn't following her anymore, turned around and glanced toward where Jody's gaze was directed.

"Jody… what exactly are you staring at?" asked Cath, trying to figure out what her cousin was looking exactly.

"Mmm? … Oh! Nothing, just that love potion over there." said Jody, nodding toward the stall full of pink bottles.

"Jody… aren't you a bit too young for that?" said Cath, shaking her head.

"There's no age for love!" said a voice behind Cath.

Cath, surprised, quickly turned around, wondering who was eavesdropping on the conversation she was having with her cousin. Standing there was a girl with purple hair and huge smile. She was about the age of the two girls, just a bit shorter than Cath. Cath, who had always been a bit creeped out by people with big smiles, stared at the girl, eyebrow raised before saying: "Who… who the hell are you?"

"Jadzia Delauney" said the girl, still smiling and clearly not affected by the way Cath was looking at her.

"Why's your hair purple?" asked Cath, pointing a finger at her hair.

"Oh good grief…" mumbled Jody as a reaction to Catherine's bluntness.

"Reaction to my parents death" said Jadzia, still smiling.

Catherine, by now, was even more creeped out by the smile. How could someone keep smiling when mentioning their parents' death? Grabbing her cousin's wrist, she slowly started to drag her toward the exit, mumbling: "Well… t'was a pleasure to meet you… bye bye now…" When she was finally outside the store, she started to run toward the bookstore, forgetting she was still holding Jody's wrist, who was in fact wondering what was wrong with her cousin. Finally arriving inside the bookstore, Jody shook her arm to get away from Cath's grip as she grumbled: "What the hell was that all about?"

"Smile... Huge... Parent's death... Smile... Huge... Purple..." said Cath, in a state of shock.

"What is so wrong with someone smiling?" asked Jody

"HUGE smile... even when she mentioned her parents died..." answered Cath.

"Ok... well, maybe it's a bit weird, but maybe it's the purple hair question that made her smile"

"Still... a huge smile..."

"Ugh! Get over it Cath and look at all the pretty, smelly, old books."

"Oi! Books aren't smelly! They are full of knowledge..." started Cath, frowning.

"... and the older they are, the smellier they get" completed Jody, smirking.

"Catherine, Jody, we're ready" yelled out Jody's mother through the crowd.

"What?! No fair, I didn't have time to look at all the books." Said Cath, pouting as she was walking to ward the exit with Jody to join their parents.

"All the books? You want to live here or what?" said Jody before adding as she saw Cath about to answer "No, don't answer. I already know what you're going to say"

When the family had finally managed to exit the store, they decided to treat the girls and buy them an ice cream. As they were walking toward the ice cream store, Cath noticed a crowd standing outside the Quidditch store and staring at what was inside through the window. She discreetly walked away from her family to go see what was so interesting. Jody, noticing her cousin getting away from the group, followed her, wondering why she was walking toward the Quidditch store. Cath, being overly curious and always finding a way to get what she wanted, got on her knees and crawled under the crowd's legs to get to the front. Jody, on the other hand, pushed her way through the crowd. What they saw made them wondered what was the big deal. Inside the store, there was a tall man with a boy around Cath and Jody's age who seemed to be his son. It seemed like the man was buying a broom to his son.

"Sooo... why is there a crowd staring at a man buying his son a broom? I know it's breaking the rules for a 1st year to own a broom, but still." said Cath.

"Since when do you know about rules?" asked Jody, staring at her cousin.

"It was written in the letter we got... and to be a good rule breaker, you need to know the rules to break them" said Cath, grinning.

"I see... Anyway, I'm sure I saw that man somewhere, but where..." wondered Jody outloud.

"In the Quidditch store" replied Cath, laughing.

"Haha, very funny... still, the boy looks bored..." said Jody, observing the boy.

"Go figure why... I would love it if dad decided to buy me a broom even if it was against the rules" said Cath, now staring at the broom in the store's window.

"Why? You don't even like Quidditch." Observed Jody.

"So? Doesn't mean I don't like flying. I just don't understand what is the fun of throwing a big red ball around, chasing a golden tiny weeny ball and risking to be killed by a posessed metal ball." Replied Cath.

Loosing interest, both girls decided to go back with their family who was worried sick. As the girls explained where they were, the fathers suddenly started to look toward the Quidditch store while their mother were telling them how worried they were and to never do that again. Some dark wizard could have kidnapped them and transform them into potion ingredient. When they were done scolding the girls, the mothers realized their husband weren't there anymore. As the girls looked around to see where their fathers had gone, they noticed them in the crowd that was now entering the Quidditch store while the boy was leaving it alone.

"Oh! Look!" said Jody, pointing at the boy "It's the boy who was in the store"

"No really? I was sure it was Mickey Mouse. Jody, I'm not blind, I realized who it was, but who cares really" said Cath sarcastically.

"Why is he standing alone? Where's his father?" asked Jody, looking around.

"Trying to get out of the store probably" said Cath.

As Cath was saying that, she heard her mother saying to Jody's mother: "I think I know what's going on. I read in the Daily Prophet yesterday that Phillip Ainsworth was going to be at the Quidditch store today."

"Oh right! I remember reading about that... Also read he was planning to pay Hogwarts to let his son play Quidditch even if he's just a first year" replied Jody's mother.

"Explains the crowd" whispered Cath to Jody before realizing her cousin wasn't next to her anymore. Realizing Jody was walking toward the son of Ainsworth, she ran to catch up with her.

"Hey" said Jody, trying to sound friendly.

"Hi..." said the boy staring at her.

"I'm Jody and this is my cousin..." started Jody

"Catherine Elizabeth McMahon the Third" completed Cath.

" 'the Third'?" said Jody, staring at Cath.

"the Third... was testing to see how it sounded when I presented myself with a number at the end" said Cath.

"What do you want? If you want an autograph, go in line, like the rest" said the boy, frowning.

"Hey! My cousin was just trying to be nice here! Anyway, what would we do with an autograph? Don't even care about Quid..." said Cath, now glaring at the boy.

"Speak for yourself. I like Quid... the players are cute..." said Jody, slightly daydreaming.

"The line's there" said the boy, nodding toward the line forming in front of the Quidditch store.

"My dad's already in line... I think...", Jody said, looking around."Mmmm... I don't see him... be right back", she added, running off and leaving the boy and Catherine alone.

"Sure... abandon me with the brat Jody..." grumbled Cath.

"You don't have to stay..." said the boy, raising an eyebrow.

"True... what's your name anyway?" asked Cath.

"Christopher... but I prefer being called Chris..." said the boy, staring.

"About to attend Hogwarts?"

"Yah"

"Your father paid Hogwarts to let you play even if you're a first year?"

"He tried, but they refused. All he got was to allow me to have my own broom for the lessons..."

"School brooms not good enough for your precious son-of-a-quid-star bum, huh? Well, hope I won't be in the same house as you. Bet you expect to have privileges..."

"You don't even know me..."

"And I don't want to. See ya.", said Cath, walking away toward her mother and her aunt who were talking while waiting for their husbands.

Chris watched her walk away, rolling his eyes. People were always prone to judge him before knowing him, just because he was the son of a known Quidditch player. He stared at the line that was slowly getting shorter, as he kept waiting for his father.

Cath, Jody and their parents left Diagon Alley with loads of bags containing what they had bought. Cath kept close to her the bag from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. In a week, they would leave for Hogwarts.
