Hogsworts the Next Generation
by Cedric Dursley
chapter 1
Prologue
A/N This is my attempt to write a next generation story. Most of my pairings will be canon. Jo Rowlings is the genius behind the Harry Potter series and I am just playing around with her creation. I am making no money from this story and I am not a professional writer, just a fan.
Dudley Dursley's life had changed for the better after the war had ended. His parents, Vernon and Petunia had disowned him after he had married a witch. Dudley had met Cho Chang in a muggle pub that they both frequented. They had an attraction for each other from the moment they met. This attraction was further increased when Cho told Dudley that she was a witch. When Cho told Dudley her secret, he told her his. Dudley also found out that his two adult male friends were wizards. They were Theodore Nott and Gregory Goyle. The three men had found a common bond despite the fact that Gregory and Theodore were wizard. Dudley was the head of the newly formed muggle relations office based on the fact that his cousin was Harry Potter. Harry had recommended Dudley for this post so he was one of the first muggles that had unrestricted access to the wizarding world.
Dudley's proudest moment was when his son Cedric and his twin daughters, Lily and Violet were born. Cho had insisted that their first son born was called Cedric after Cedric Diggory her murdered boyfriend. Dudley knew that Cedric was going to be a wizard since Cho was a witch. Cedric was a quiet thoughtful boy who stood up for any of his friends. These included his two best friends Vince Goyle and Amelia Nott.
Dudley and his family lived in Ottery St. Catchpole near Harry and Ron. This town was around ninety percent magical in the nineteen years since the war against Voldemort ended. The muggles that still lived there knew about the magic world because many new magical births had occurred since the war ended. Everyone who lived there had at least one magical child and some had more then one. Molly Weasley started a day care center for the magical children who lived there. Cedric, Lilly, Violet, Vince, and Amelia all had attended Molly's daycare as well as Harry's and Ron's children and Scorpius Malfoy.
After the war had ended, Theodore had begun a relationship with Susan Bones. They had been close friends before they began school but had grown apart due to Theodore being sorted in Slytherin. Theodore hated his father ever since his father had killed his mother two weeks before Theodore started Hogwarts. The elder Nott had claimed that it was an accident but Theodore knew that his mother was killed because his father thought she was having an affair. Theodore and Susan were married in a small private ceremony two years after the war ended. They had one daughter Amelia who was named after Susan's aunt.
Gregory Goyle had changed his outlook after the war. He had received a pardon from the Ministry of Magic along with Drago Malfoy because they were both underage when they joined the deatheaters. He had gone to several funerals after the war and had his eyes opened. At one of these funerals, he met Lavender Brown, who was still recovering from her injuries from the battle at Hogwarts. The two of them started talking and soon they had begun a friendship. This friendship soon developed into a relationship and marriage. They had two sons, Vincent and Robert.
The aftermath of the war had changed Drago Malfoy as well. Drago finally realized that muggleborns were not as horrible as he was taught by his parents. His relationship with Pansy Parkinson had ended right after the war ended. He moved out of Malfoy Manor and lived in a modest flat in London. His relationship with his parents had gone downhill after the war. He blamed his father for all the trouble he endured during the time that Voldemort and the deatheaters took over the Ministry of magic. While living in London, he began working in a muggle pub and became fascinated with the muggle world. While in London, he met Astoria Greengrass and they were soon married. They had one son, Scorpius who was most likely to be the first Malfoy who would be sorted in a house other then Slytherin. This was because most of Scorpius's friends were muggle.
Neville Longbottom was a different person after the war. He helped rebuild the auror division along with Harry, Ron, Theodore, Susan, and Hannah Abbott. While helping rebuild the aurors, Neville and Hannah fell in love. Both Neville and Hannah left the aurors after they were married. Hannah bought the Leaky Cauldron From Old Tom and Neville began teaching herbology at Hogwarts after Professor Sprout retired. They had two children, Frank and Alice.
After Bellatrix Lestrange was killed, Neville's parents began to recover from their illness. Neville was thrilled and very happy that this had happened. The elder Longbottoms were surprised that their son was not only fully grown, but a war hero to boot.
Pansy Parkinson disappeared after the war ended. She still believed that the deatheater philosophy was the correct one. She left England to study the dark arts from a private tutor in Bulgaria. No one had heard from her for many years. While in her self imposed exile, she revived the Knights of Walburga as her own deatheater corps. She decided that they would not have any mark like the death head symbol that Voldemort had. She thought that this would make it harder to expose the knights the way the deatheaters were.
Professor Mcgonagall remained headmistress at Hogwarts for ten years. When she decided to retire, Professor Flitwick took over. The professors at Hogwarts went through several changes over the years. Nineteen years after the final battle, the only professors that remained at Hogwarts were Professor Binns, Professor Hagrid, and Professor Vector. Everyone else had retired.
After the war, Hagrid was able to study magic after he was exonerated from the first opening of the Chamber of Secrets by Harry Potter. Hagrid was promoted to deputy headmaster after Professor Mcgonagall retired by Professor Flitwick.
Shortly after the war, Dudley and Harry had reconciled their differences and began a friendship. This friendship had expanded when Gregory moved to town with his wife Lavender and Theodore moved in with his wife Susan. Dudley, Harry, Ron, Gregory and Theodore often met at the local pub in Ottery St. Catchpole and had a few drinks together. Sometimes Drago and Neville joined them when they could. Drago's attitude had softened some since the war when he realized that his feelings about muggleborn witches and wizards had changed. One of the reasons for this change was the fact that Harry, Ron, and Hermione had saved both him and Goyle from the fiendfyre that Crabbe unleashed in the room of requirement during the final battle. Both Goyle and Drago had received pardons from the Ministry of Magic since they had joined the deatheaters while still minors and the fact that neither one of them really fought in the final battle. Their fathers were not quite as lucky. Lucius had received a two year sentence in Azkaban and Goyle Senior had a life sentence. Nott Senior was killed during the second part of the Battle at Hogwarts by his own son Theodore , who had remained behind to defend the castle.
Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, Mrs Weasley, Minerva McGonagall, and Neville Longbottom all received the Order of Merlin first class for their actions during the final battle against Voldemort and his deatheaters. Remus Lupin and Numphadora Tonks-Lupin both received Order of Merlin First class posthumously for their war efforts. Severus Snape also received one posthumously for his work after Harry revealed that Snape was actually working to protect the Hogwarts students and was working for the Order of the phoenix during the entire war. Harry had also petitioned to have Snape's portrait hang in the headmaster's office and have Snape recognized as one of the true heroes of the fight against Voldemort.
Luna Lovegood, Dean Thomas, George Weasley, Augusta Longbottom, Sybill Trelawnley, and Horace Slughorn all received the Order of Merlin second class for their efforts during the final battle as well. Fred Weasley and Colin Creevy also received the Order of Merlin second class posthumously for their efforts.
A/N I realize that Jo reveled in one of her interviews that Dudley did not have any magical children however this is fan fiction. One of the things I love about Fan fiction is that any fan can put his or her touches in their story. This story will go through all seven years of Hogwarts and I already have most of the storyline thought of. The core characters in this will be Cedric Dursley, Vince Goyle, Amelia Nott, Scorpius Malfoy, Albus Potter, Frank Longbottom Jr. AKA JR, and Rose Weasley. These seven will become the New Marauders at Hogwarts and will have a prophesy that explains their importance reveled later in the story. Next chapter will be the friends going to Hogwarts and the sorting. I will give you one clue about the sorting. All the friends will be in the same house. One virtual cookie to anyone who guesses which house. Reviews are always welcome but flames will be ignored. If you don't like this story, don't read it. But please do not ruin it for the fans who enjoy it Till the next chapter enjoy.
