The Second Generation

Disclaimer: I only own the kids.

An owl swooped in through Marcus' window and dropped a letter on his head, waking him up. He cursed at the owl and picked up the letter.

Mr. M. Snape

Spinners End

London

He jumped out of bed. Finally its here. He threw the door open and bounded down the stairs. His parents were sitting at the kitchen table. He waved the letter at them.

"Hogwarts letter's finally here!" he yelled. His father pulled one of his rare smiles.

"Took Minerva long enough." he muttered. His mother hugged him.

"Well lets get to Diagon Alley to get your things."

"Ok, lets go." Marcus said. Severus raised an eyebrow.

"You gonna go like that in your pajama bottoms?" he asked. Marcus looked down."

"Oops," and ran upstairs to get dressed. Hermione and Severus laughed at their son's antics.

They'd gotten Marcus' books, robes, cauldren, andall he needed now was his wand. Hermione had seen Ron and Harry who, to Severus' horror, was going to teach Defense Agianst the Dark Arts, so it was just Marcus and Severus. They entered Olivander's.

"Ah Severus, I suppose this is Marcus, is it." Mr. Olivander said coming out from behind a shelf and making Marcus jump about three feet. Severus nodded curtly. Olivander pulled a box down from a shelf.

"I remember every wand I've ever sold. Your father's Yew, Dragon Heartstring, 11 inches, extremely powerful," he said, looking at Severus for confirmation. Agian he nodded curtly. "Your mother's Vine wood, also dragon heartstring core. 11 1/2 inches, very good for both charms and transfiguration." Marcus was handed a wand.

"Yew and Unicorn tail hair 12 inches," Marcus lifted it and Olivander took it. "No that's not it. How about this only. Redwood and Pheonix feather 11inches, whippy. Marcus took it and the second it made contact with his skin, silver and green sparks shot out of it. His father smiled. They paid for it and walked out of the shop.
