Five years later…
Patrick had given in to Robin. They were married, with two children, a son. 4; a daughter, 2; and another one on the way. Robert had told Spinelli, that he was his father, and they were getting along just fine. Robert and Anna had reconciled. Again. Nikolas and Emily were married, again. Spencer had a little sister who's three.
Lily moved back to Port Charles, permanently after the downfall of Voldemort. She and Sonny now had a house full of kids; Kristina came to stay over often, Michael and Morgan were there for the summers, Harry and Hermione were there, and the two had twins, a boy and a girl, who are two. Hermione and Ron had gotten married and had a one year old son. Draco had moved in with Harry as well.
Since Ron moved to Port Charles to be with Hermione, Mrs. Weasley had no problem with letting Ginny move there as well. After she finished her studies at Hogwarts, of course. She and Dillon moved into a wing of the Quartermaine mansion.
James and Severus were touch and go sometimes. They went back and forth between here and England until Harry defeated Voldemort. Remus and Sirius…we…they were mainly in England, but came to visit…frequently.
Godric and Salazar go a surrogate and had a set of twins, a boy, 4; and a daughter, 2. Pete and Georgie fizzled out. Lulu and Spinelli were of and on and Noah and I got married. We not only have Erin, who Noah adopted, but we have two year old twins, a daughter and a son. We also have another child on the way.
Together, James, Sirius, Godric, Salazar, Harry, Draco, Ron, Hermione…Ginny…and I decided that we didn't want to send our children to England to go to Hogwarts, so, with Nikolas's help, we built another castle, like Wyndimere, and turned it into a school of magic.
It had been eleven years since Nikolas helped Godric and Salazar build the new school, which they called Port Charles School of witchcraft and wizardry. Not very original, but they wanted to pay homage to the town in which the school sits. The kids are older, which makes it easier for the parents to have careers. The school had to jump through hoops to become a wizarding school, so this is the first year that the school will host students and classes.
Robin and Patrick's two oldest will attend the school with Elizabeth and Jason's son, Jake. The Cassidine kids, two of them anyway, the Corinthos twins, and Evelyn and Noah's oldest three, Erin, the twins, Anita and Benjamin, and Matthew. The school was set up to have four houses: Potter, Cassidine, Weasley, and Drake. Since Harry, Ron and Hermione, Nikolas and Emily, and Noah and Evelyn helped set up the school, they got to have the houses named after them.
Harry and Draco found a surrogate and they now have five year old twins, Derek and Cassidy. Ron and Hermione have a ten year old son, who will be starting at the school as well, and a five year old daughter. Elizabeth and Jason finally got together (after her divorce from Lucky was final), and they have Cameron, Jacob, and seven year old twin daughters. Nikolas and Emily have four kids, Spencer, daughter Lola (who will be attending the school), and twins Aaron and Emma, who are six.
Georgie and Pete got married ten years ago. They have a seven year old daughter, a five year old daughter and a two year old son. Lulu and Spinelli also got married. They have a seven year old son, a five year old son, and a two year old daughter. Maxie and her beau, Cooper, got married as well. They have a nine year old son, Ryan, (who is starting at P.C.S.W.W,), and a six year old daughter. Dillon and Ginny still live in the Quartermaine house with their kids, two daughters, seven and five, and a son, who's two. Carly and Jax have a nine year old daughter, Josephine, who's joining P.C. S. W.W also. Sirius and Remus have nine year old twins, also joining the school. James and Severus have seven year old twins. Michael's son, Jason, will be joining them as well.
The teachers at the school are as follows: Severus Snape is teaching Potions. James Potter is teaching Transfiguration. Rowena Ravenclaw is teaching History of Magic. Godric Gryffindor is teaching Herbology. Hermione Granger-Weasley is teaching Arithmancy. Sirius Black is teaching Care of Magical Creatures. Remus Lupin is teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. Harry Potter is teaching the Flying Class. Ginny Weasley-Quartermaine is teaching Astrology. Lily Evans-Corinthos is teaching Charms, and Evelyn Drake is teaching Divination. The four hose heads are: Harry Potter of Weasley House, Ginny Weasley-Quartermaine of Potter House, Sirius Black of Cassidine House, and Lily Evans-Corinthos of Drake House. Evelyn Drake and Georgie Jones-Marquez are the medi-witches, and Salazar Slytherin is the Headmaster. The Caretaker is Draco Malfoy, and the gamekeeper is Logan Hayes.
The younger kids are attending muggle schools and day care while their parents are working. Robin, Patrick, Noah and Emily were commuting to and from the hospital. Unfortunately, though, some one that no one thought would ever dare to show their faces in Port Charles…did. Peter Pettigrew showed up with Bellatrix Lestrange.
Erin, a girl of 16 with dark, long, curly hair, thin, and somewhat petite, could be seen hanging out with Spencer Cassidine, a boy of 17 with short dark hair, very tall and muscular, Molly Lansing, a girl of 17 with long dark hair, and kind of tall, and Dallas Spencer, the son of Lucky Spencer and Sam McCall, a boy of 16, with dark, shoulder length hair, and a little on the tall side. Noah, of course, was not happy that she was hanging out with kids that were two years older than her, but Evelyn thought it was good for her to get out of the house every once in a while. Kristina Davis-Corinthos, a pretty young woman, with long black hair, long dancer like legs, is studying to be a nurse, and is just about to turn 21. Sonny convinces Alexis, and Ric, to let him throw her a party. Nikolas and Emily offered the use of Wyndemere for the event, but Sonny was a bit reluctant. Erin had, on behalf of Noah, asked Erin to help Sonny plan the party.
"Mr. Corinthos, why don't you ask if you can hold the party at the school?" Erin suggested.
"That is a good idea. Do you think your mother will allow it?" Sonny questioned.
"As long as you don't plan to exploit the school, I don't see where she would have a problem with it."
"You've been hanging out with Molly; does she know what Kristina likes?"
"I get a little bit every time I talk to Molly, but she doesn't know everything. I've tried talking to Mrs. Lansing, but she keeps saying that she doesn't want any part of it. She doesn't think that Kristina needs to be around all of the alcohol and…other things that go along with a 21st birthday party." Erin said.
"She wouldn't let me throw Kristina a 16th or an 18th, now she won't let me throw a 21st!" Sonny yelled.
"No, Mr. Corinthos, you misheard me. I said that Mrs. Lansing doesn't want anything to do with it; I didn't say that she had forbidden it. She thinks that you should know your daughter, so she wants to see if you could plan it with out her, or Mr. Lansing's, in put." Erin corrected.
"So what have you gotten so far?" Sonny asked.
"I thought you were going to plan the party?"
"You're helping, so what plans do you have?"
"Her favorite flower is the Iris. Her favorite color is yellow; her favorite place in P.C. is…the school for witchcraft and wizardry." Erin hesitated.
"H-h-how do you know all of that?" Sonny stammered.
"Molly takes precise notes when talking to her sister. Besides, Kristina hangs around Samantha Spencer and some of the doctors at G.H." Erin shrugged.
"You really have things worked out, then." Sonny admitted.
"Mr. Corinthos, perhaps, you should let me and Molly worry about Kristina's party." Erin laughed packing up the notes that she had not only been taking, but showing to Sonny as well. Erin left Sonny's office, grabbed a cup of hot tea, and walked over to G.H.
She took the elevator to the 5th floor where her father, her…brother, and Robin were working on some charts. Or rather just standing around talking. Luckily, she found them and Georgie at the nurse's station with Lulu and Elizabeth.
"Dad, I know that you want me working with Mr. Corinthos this summer, but I really don't see the point." Erin whined.
"You have her working with Sonny?!" Robin questioned.
"It's nothing like that, Robin. She's helping him plan a 21st birthday party for Kristina." Noah sighed.
"Does Sonny even know what Kristina likes and dislikes?" Asked Lulu.
"Of course not. Molly is trying to get it out of her sister without looking suspicious. Morgan is helping a little bit, as well. Spencer, too." Erin sighed.
"Why doesn't Sonny just let Kristina plan her own party?" Elizabeth questioned.
"The party is supposed to be a surprise. Mrs. Lansing is refusing to help and it's hard to know what Kristina's interests are when Molly, Spencer, Dallas and I are much younger than her." Erin said.
"You will come up with something. By the way, do you know if your mother is home with your siblings?" Noah questioned.
"I think she is…but she could be at the school getting ready for the new, and first, term." Erin shrugged.
"Hey, give your mother some credit. She had to get your siblings to either a sitter or to some extra credit program before she can even think about going out to Gryffinzar Island to check out the school for problems before going over the curriculum with the teachers and checking her stores for the stuff that she and Georgie need for the infirmary." Robin chastised.
"That's right. Not only that, but she helps out around the hospital when she has the time. Try helping her out once in a while…whether it's around the house or with your siblings." Patrick added.
"She even helps out with baby sitting if she's free and one of us get's called into work and there's no one home to watch the kids." Elizabeth said.
"I get it. My mother's a saint." Erin said.
"Far from it actually. But that's not the point. The point is; your mother helps where help is needed and tries to make to make time everyone. Given the opportunity, she will make time for you. You just have to be willing to take it and spend time with her." Robin laughed.
"And Robin would know. She hated your mother when she first came to town." Georgie laughed.
"Fine. I'm going to Gryffinzar Island to try to help the grandfathers get the school ready for its first term." Erin sighed as she headed toward the elevator.
"Erin, try to let your mother help you with the party. She knows more things than anyone thinks." Patrick said as they boarded the elevator.
Erin left G.H to meet up with Dallas, Molly, and Spencer. They were waiting for her at Kelly's.
"So, what did your dad want?" Spencer asked as he put an arm around her. Molly was sitting there with her arms around Dallas.
"Just to lecture me about helping my mother out, or actually do what she tells me to do. I'm also supposed to go over to the Island to see if I can help them get ready for the big opening of the school. And to get permission to have Kristina's party there." Erin sighed.
"Why don't we tag along with you? Certainly your mother will be there. It will give us ample opportunity to get some information out of her. There shouldn't be any surprises when we start classes." Molly suggested. As they tried to leave Kelly's, a woman, with very unruly, curly hair, and a man with the face of a rat, stood in their way.
"Excuse us." Spencer said as they tried to push past them.
"Which one of you is the child of Evelyn Walsh?" The woman questioned.
"I am." Erin answered.
"How would you like to become all powerful, my dear?" The woman said.
"I'm sorry I really must be going. I have a party to plan." Erin said, avoiding the question.
"If you come with us, we'll help you become who you were meant to be." The rat-faced-man said.
"I'm sorry, but I really must be going. Lots of things to do. Besides, I'm not supposed to talk to strangers." Erin said moving closer to Spencer.
"Then let's not be strangers. I'm Bellatrix Lestrange, and my friend here is Peter Pettigrew." Bellatrix said.
"I really have to go. I don't have time to talk." Erin said, again trying to push past them.
"Tell us your name, Girlie, and we'll leave you alone." Pettigrew spoke up.
"We don't have time to talk. We really must be going." Spencer sneered.
"Just a name and we'll be gone." Bellatrix said.
"Erin. My name is Erin." She finally said, again trying to get out the door. Bellatrix stepped back and Pettigrew stepped to the side to let Erin and her friends through.
