Hiya! A new motivated me strikes again! This one's a series as far as I can help cuz it's not just about one pair. The tale starts where the original ended – nineteen years after Voldy got Mouldy. The Next Gen strike Hogwarts with their charisma and are sure to rule over it. But what about the others? There are the Others who are not famous but are talented. Hogy Warty Hogwarts is set to be the battlefield of new sorts as reputations are made, tempers fly and relationships are tested. Who will come out on top as the Potters/Weasleys meet their match in strength and skill?

The italicised parts are from the original book 7 and have been included as a tribute to the genius herself, J.K. Rowling. Any canon characters you find are her's and the others are from my imagination.

"It won't be long, and you'll be going too," Harry told her.

"Two years," sniffed Lily. "I want to go now!"

"It's not fair Mum!" Lorcan cried as he watched kids get on the train "You KNOW that we want to go and still you brought us here. Now I really want to go soon! Why do we do this every year?!" he asked his brother Lysander who was curious about the magic rockets some students had left.

"You will be going in two years Lorcan, you know that" Luna smiled at her impatient son "We do this every year so that you won't feel awkward when you leave on this same train. When you see the others go you will feel like you are a part of it. Maybe if you come here often, the Wrackspurts will recognise you two years later and leave you both alone" the blonde haired witch reasoned calmly. Lorcan was hardly satisfied when he saw a ginger haired girl whine to her raven haired father. " Well, I guess I'm not alone in disappointment" he thought and sighed as he saw her rant about how she wanted to go with her brothers.

The commuters stared curiously at the owls as the family wove its way toward the barrier between platforms nine and ten, Albus's voice drifted back to Harry over the surrounding clamor; his sons had resumed the argument they had started in the car.

"I won't! I won't be a Slytherin!"

"James, give it a rest!" said Ginny.

"I only said he might be," said James, grinning at his younger brother. "There's nothing wrong with that. He might be in Slytherin"

Zeus could hardly contain his despair. "Another year in hell" he muttered to his friend as he caught sight of his fellow student, the oh-so-famous James Potter. Sometimes he was too glad that he had been placed in Slytherin just to escape the stupidity and vainness of the eldest son of Harry Potter. Jeremiah smirked and shook his head "Not that Slytherin is any better" he said as he saw some of the older boys from his House get on the train. They were as obnoxious as the Potter boy. Zeus' slightly long black hair fell on his eyes and he pushed them back irritated. Suddenly his eyes caught sight of a redhead boarding the train and felt light. "Maybe this is hell, but at least it might be worth it" he thought as he smiled inwardly at the laughing face of Roxanne Weasley. Jeremiah noted this glance but said nothing as he followed his moody friend to the train. His own eyes caught sight of a blonde girl trailing behind what looked like her parents (the lady looked hot. Could she just be an older sister?) He recognised the man to be Bill Weasley and knew that the girl was Victoire Weasley's younger sister , Dominique. Someone looked moody today, he thought surprised that the usually smiling tomboy was scowling. Before he could muse some more he saw Zeus shooting him a weird look and sighed. Who knows, maybe he would make a 'normal' friend this year?

"You'll write to me, won't you?" Albus asked his parents immediately, capitalizing on the momentary absence of his brother.

"Every day, of you want us to," said Ginny.

"Not every day," said Albus quickly, "James says most people only get letters from home about once a month."

"We wrote to James three times a week last year," said Ginny.

"And you don't want to believe everything he tells you about Hogwarts," Harry put in. "He likes a laugh, your brother."

She hated this. "Mo-om, stop crying!" the red-haired girl whispered in a high tone as her mother took another great sniff. "And PLEASE don't write too many letters? Once in 2 months..or in a month?" Rene tried to persuade her parents from not embarrassing her. Rene loved her Healer parents, honestly, but sometimes she wished she could just stay in Hogwarts. "Hogwarts" she thought excitedly as her mother ranted on about being safe "Finally I will be in Hogwarts! Oh I can't wait to be there! Ooh the House Sorting, feasts, Quidditch..this is the best year ever!" She kissed her parents one last time as she ran towards the train, hardly noting the raven haired boy who looked worried at his famous father. He though caught sight of a flash of her red hair but was distracted as he met his cousins

... Back on the platform, they found Lily and Hugo, Rose's younger brother, having an animated discussion about which House they would be sorted into when they finally went to Hogwarts.

"If you're not in Gryffindor, we'll disinherit you," said Ron, "but no pressure."

"Ron!"

Lily and Hugo laughed, but Albus and Rose looked solemn.

"If you're not in Slytherin I'll disinherit you" Draco Malfoy spoke in a low voice to his son. His wife shook her head slightly but hugged her only son "You take care of yourself dear. Write to us often and make a lot of new friends. Good friends" she stressed on the last two words subtly as her husband pretended to have not heard it. Astoria was a firm believer that her son should not be a stuck up Slytherin like his father (see where it landed him!) Scorpius would have rolled his eyes had he not been nervous. For 11 years of his life he had been sheltered from the world which hated his family. Now he had to face it all alone. Way to put pressure! As he hugged his mother one last time , his attention was caught by a pair of sharp eyes glaring at him from across the platform. The girl was nodding to her father and Scorpius felt that there was something related to him that had her so determined. Well, he would just wait and see wouldn't he?

"So that's little Scorpius," said Ron under his breath. "Make sure you beat him in every test, Rosie. Thank God you inherited your mother's brains."

"Ron, for heaven's sake," said Hermione, half stern, half amused. "Don't try to turn them against each other before they've even started school!"

"You're right, sorry," said Ron, but unable to help himself, he added, "Don't get too friendly with him, though, Rosie. Granddad Weasley would never forgive you if you married a pureblood."

"Oh this is pointless" the older girl sighed as she tried to search for her cousin's toad. "Quin, where in Merlin's world did you last put him?" she asked not turning to look at the younger boy "I don't know Ellie. I was talking to mom and Aunt Melinda when I noticed that he wasn't in my hand anymore. I-I..I lost him.." Eleanor took a deep breath as she turned to see her cousin start to tear up. "Quincy Rhodes, you haven't LOST him yet. Just..just look more carefully and we'll find him somewhere..Oh there he is!" She saw the ugly looking toad at the steps of the train and rushed to grab it. "There you mphph!" the sudden collision with a blue haired man and a blonde girl made her swivel. "Oh..OH Bollocks! Sorry !" she quickly averted her eyes as she saw Victorie Weasley a.k.a Beauty Extraordinaire snogging the life out of Teddy Lupin ( not so bad himself). Quickly grabbing the toad she tried to rush back but her exclamations must have attracted someone because the next moment she heard a shout of horror "Oi Teddy! What the blazes are you.." she heard James Potter being an arse and intruding. Without dwindling on the thought that she had felt it weird herself, she ran back to her family to deposit the croaking toad back to her cousin and get on the train. This year would be interesting if nothing else now.

"Hey!"

James had reappeared; he had divested himself of his trunk, owl, and trolley, and was evidently bursting with news.

"Teddy's back there," he said breathlessly, pointing back over his shoulder into the billowing clouds of steam. "Just seen him! And guess what he's doing? Snogging Victoire!"

Yvonne laughed as she heard her friend bellow with disgust and partial excitement. They had been friends from before first year, thanks to her parents. Her dad couldn't be here today , what with being a professor at Hogwarts and all, she was just glad that her mum had made it. "Now listen honey, I know that your dad is not here but.." "He still misses me and wishes he could be here" she completed for her mother "Mum, I know. And I AM going to Hogwarts only. So the next year is entirely with him right?" she grinned as her mother gave out a light laugh. "Oi Long- Slyther!" she heard a voice and turned to see a red headed boy dangling from the steps of the train "You coming in today or what? Jamsie-poo is gonna be here in some time don't ya worry" Fred winked at her before scrambling back into the train. God that name sucked! Long-Slyther? Really? It was worse than those innuendos of her actual surname, Longbottom. She was a Slytherin (unfortunately but she wasn't going to admit it) but had managed to become friends with James Potter and Fred Weasley after a long series of pranks and arguements in their first year. James had been threatened by Ginny and Fred by Angelina to make peace with her and that's how she landed being in the noisy gang. "Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with him. James seems better than him and that's saying something" she muttered to herself as she hugged her Mum one last time before following Fred into the train.

James merely laughed, permitted his mother to kiss him, gave his father a fleeting hug, then leapt onto the rapidly filling train. They saw him wave, then sprint away up the corridor to find his friends.

Calipurnia latched on to the train at the nick of time. She felt a hand catch her and pull her inside. "Thank..you" she gasped to the young blonde boy still holding her hand. "Not a problem" he smiled and shrugged "You ok? That was kind of last minute" he asked trying to discreetly look for any injuries. She smiled at this and shook her head "Naah its nothing. My parents forgot that I was actually supposed to get ON the train and kind of kept me hostage with hugs. That one's one tough hold to break by the way" she rolled her eyes. The boy laughed heartily and nodded his head "Oh I know. I'm Louis by the way" he said stretching a hand forward. She gave a small nod and grasped his hand "Calipurnia" she said, deliberately avoiding her last name. She sensed that he had left out his surname on purpose and was doing it herself. Louis felt that her name was weird but that it suited her. Before they could talk anymore they saw a swarm of people come through the corridors and had to move towards the compartment. Oddly though, Louis felt a warmth in his hand from their handshake. Interesting.

Oohhkay...Now the Potter/Weasley clan and some others have met. Maybe not properly but they are partially aware of each other. For those who are confused Eleanor, Fred, James, Roxanne and Dominique are already in Gryffindor and Yvonne, Zeus, Jeremiah are in Slytherin. Both the groups are not as great friends as they wish within themselves and this might lead to a few twists. Just keep an eyes out..

Next Chapter: The Sorting Hat, some new friends, interesting Gryffindors and a hint of weird relationships.

P.S: Tell me who you think will form the strongest friendships with whom. I might not use them directly but lets see how alike we think! Point to remember, I am a strong believer of House Unity!
