EPILOGUE

Twelve years later . . .

McGonagall was sitting in her office - she took over Dumbledore's position when he retired - and she was staring at the four children in front of her, waiting for their parents. She just sat there staring at the children, not saying a word. It always made the students squirmed when she was quiet and these four children knew that best, so it worked better on them.

A knock came from the door and she called them to enter.

Draco, Fred, and George came through the door along with their six year old daughter as Harry, Sirius, and their five year old son followed along with Ron and Hermione and their three year old son.

"Ah thank you for coming. Please take a seat."

"What did you four do now?" Hermione asked as she took a seat and place their son on her lap. Everyone else followed and Harry held his son on his lap and Draco held his daughter on his.

The four children sat on one side while the parents sat on the other. The children in trouble were the second year Malfoy-Weasley twins, the second year Potter-Black daughter, and the first year Granger-Weasley son. They each hung their heads but McGonagall knew they weren't ashamed. And so did their parents.

"What'd they do now Minerva?" Harry asked.

"Well, would one of you like to tell them?" she asked the four students.

They all looked at each other before Scorpius Malfoy-Weasley spoke - not surprising since he was the oldest of the four even though he was only older than the other two seconds years by minutes and hours.

"Well, it seems that a prank was pulled during lunch today."

"Really?" Draco drawled and elbowed Fred and George when they smiled.

"Yes. Halfway through lunch a few Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs started exotic dancing on the tables."

McGonagall watched as Fred, George, Sirius, and Ron tried to not laugh while Hermione, Draco, and Harry were scowling at their spouses. And the younger children looked confused about what exotic dancing was.

"I see," Harry said. "Well, who do you think is responsible?"

McGonagall had no idea why she was shocked that Harry would ask something like that and not accuse the children right away even though everyone in the room knew it was them. It was hard for the children not to prank when Fred and George were pranksters, Harry was the son of Prongs, and Sirius was an original Marauder. Rose was the only child so far that wasn't into pranks. She was like her mother Hermione. She was a bookworm and into studying. That was why she was sorted into Ravenclaw. The others ended up in both Gryffindor and Slytherin. Scorpius and Elizabeth were in Slytherin while Alexandra and Hugo were in Gryffindor.

The three younger ones weren't showing any signs of pranking, but that could always change. Minerva was just happy Timothy had already graduated because him and these four kids were a nightmare. They were almost worse than the Marauders.

"I believe these four are responsible."

"Well," Ron said. "If I'm correct, the charm to pull something off like that isn't taught in second year, definitely not first."

Fred and George nodded. "You're correct. Actually," they smirked. "It's an upper year but anyone who's into studying and information could learn it."

The others nodded as McGonagall just blinked. They certainly couldn't be implying that Rose was responsible for that prank.

"I guess we'll never know," Sirius sighed as he tried not to smile.

McGonagall shook her head. They had no proof that it was them, but she knew it. Even if Rose did know the charm, she was sure Rose didn't do it. Most likely the four got it from her some way and then they used it in the prank.

"Well, there is no proof, so we'll just have to let them go, but know that I'm watching."

"Yes Grandma," they all said with a cheeky grin.

McGonagall rolled her eyes and waved them out. She'd catch them on the next one.

She still couldn't believe they would try to suggest that sweet Rose would do such a thing.

The parents and three younger ones stayed after for some tea as the four students left the office to go back to class.


Scorpius, Alexandra, Elizabeth, and Hugo walked down the spiraling staircase and saw Rose, Lilia, and Frank waiting for them.

"I saw everyone go up earlier. Are you in trouble?" Rose asked.

"No," Scorpius and Alexandra smirked. They were just like their twin fathers. They talked at the same time and finished each other questions, constantly asked if they could read each other's minds. They neither confirmed nor denied that.

"They knew we didn't know the spell for something for that." Hugo said as he went to stand next to Lilia. He had a bit of a crush for the adorable blonde.

"Do you know anyone who would know the kind of charm that it took to do that spell?" Elizabeth asked as she occasionally glanced at Scorpius. She had a little crush on the red head.

Rose shook her head, but the other six children knew her well so they saw the small smile on her lips. "I have no idea who could know it except for a few sixth and seventh years."

"Well, they were pretty genius," Alexandra said.

They all were silent for a while, looking around at each other, before they all burst into fits of giggles. They all high-fived Rose who was beaming. "Great job."

"You know," they heard drawled behind them, "if you're going to congratulate Rose, you might want to do it in secret."

They all turned around to see their parents, including Neville and Luna who had been on their way to Minerva's office when they heard the others were there. They taught at Hogwarts.

All the kids paled and looked at their parents, who just smiled and took turns high-fiving Rose.

"Oh honestly, you all are as bad as the children." McGonagall said from the behind the parents.

McGonagall looked at all of her students, past and present, and just didn't find it in her heart to punish Rose - though she was shocked to find out it was her all along. She just shook her head. "Get out of here, all of you." They all nodded and turned to leave but she added, "I'll see you all for dinner tomorrow."

They all beamed. "Yes Grandma."

McGonagall smiled while shaking her head as she thought, 'This is going to be an interesting year.'

The End.
