I THINK THAT I FIXED THE PROBLEM THAT I HAD WITH THE PROLOGUE AND CHAPTER 2! It should be up in about 30 minutes. I'm sorry for the confusion, but had to fix that. Enjoy this chapter! -Lizzy

Chapter 6 - Detention with Longbottom

"What was that about?" Leslie asked the three when they got back.

"Well, you see, Slughorn has this club, well, it's confusing." said Rose, "Oh, by the way, what did Slughorn ask you guys."

"Oh, it was nothing. Just a quick update on Dad and Mum." said Lily.

"Oh okay." said Rose as she looked at Leslie, Andy and Michael for back up. Michael wasn't paying attention, Andy had his mouthful of lettuce and Leslie was staring off into space.

"So, what did we miss in Herbology and Astronomy?" asked Albus, his mouthful of chicken.

"In Herbology, we took notes on the Devil's Snare, and we have a 4 inch essay due by Thursday on the link of the Devil's Snare and the Sorceror's Stone and in Astronomy we started making star charts. We had to finish our star charts for homework," said Leslie, quickly.

"So that means I can just say I missed class, so I get an exception," said Lily.

"No you can't," said Rose, not even looking up from her book, The Greatest Wizards and Witches of History: From the Beginning of Time, through 2008.

"Why are you reading that book, Rose, you already know that your dad is in it?" asked Albus.

"I'm not reading to see my dad's bloody picture in a book, Albus Severus Potter!" said Rose angrily. She slammed her book shut and walked out.

"What did I do?" said Albus.

"Well, she's a little annoyed at you and Lily currently," said Michael.

"Wait, your middle name is Severus?" said Andy.

"Yes, read your History of Magic textbook. It has their full names in it," said Leslie.

"Back to the point, why is she mad at Albus and I?" asked Lily.

"Obviously, you never told us why your parents were here and why you were sitting on the steps and missed two classes plus the lecture in potions." said Andy.

"That again, is family business. Don't think we don't know you want to know. We want to tell you, but we can't." said Albus.

"Never mind then. Everyone has their secrets." said Leslie.

"Leslie, could you tell Rose for me because she won't listen to us currently that she has detention with Longbottom tonight?" asked Albus.

"Yeah, no problem." said Leslie.

"Alrighty. In detention with me, and I normally don't give detention, especially on the train ride. I want to know everything that happened first, before punishments are delt out." said Professor Longbottom.

James, Lily, Albus, Rose and Scorpius were sitting at the Ravenclaw table in the Great Hall. It was empty.

"Well," started Lily, "Malfoy and 2 other Slytherins came up to our compartment and insulted our family," said Lily, "The Slytherin tried to disarm me but I was quicker. James was walking by, caught the Slytherin's wand, and Malfoy pointed his wand at me. We all pointed our wands, and then Malfoy was going to hex, but then Albus and I disarmed Malfoy and the other Slytherin."

"You disarmed two Slytherins in 2 minutes on the train to your first year?" asked Neville.

"Have you met my mother? And father for that matter."

"True."

"But why would you insult them? They didn't do anything to you." said Rose to Scorpius

"Didn't do anything?" said Scorpius, his voice rising,

"Yeah, THEY didn't do anything."

"Rose has a point, Malfoy, you can't blame the kids of a family enemy. Their parents might've done something but they themselves didn't do anything. You threatened them." Neville turns to the Potters, "You guys can't do anything either. Malfoy, you are excused. Potters, Rose, stay here." Scorpius angrily got up and walked out of the Great Hall.

"Are we in trouble?" asked James.

"No. I thought Rose and the Weasleys should know. They were here earlier, talking to me, but I decided to let Rose know when she came in for her 'detention' to be informed of the situation. Don't worry, your parents are okay with it. Rose, there is someone here trying to get to them, meaning kidnapping or assassination. No eyes on who, but be alert."

"And why should I know?"

"Well, there is a possibility they might try to get to you as well. Not like the Potters but they may see you as a way into them." said Neville. Rose went quiet.

"That's why we were sitting on the steps and not talking. We had just found out the same thing, but seeing that whatever happens to us is worse, we didn't want to talk." said Albus.

"Are we allowed to talk to our friends about it?"

"Well if you feel that you can trust them." said Neville.

"Well is it a student or teacher?" asked Rose.

"We don't quite know." said Neville.

"Okay, I might tell them, I think they deserve to know but I will leave out the part about kidnapping/assassination. I will be the one to tell. I'm sure they will understand." said Rose as her, Albus, Lily and James walked out of the Great Hall after dinner the next day.

"Just be careful you 3, maybe one of them is who's trying to get to you. Uncle Neville never said it was a student or a teacher," said James, "And on that note, enjoy the last days of your life!"

"Ugh." said Lily, making a face at him as they walked into the common room. As the portrait hole opened, all the Gryffindor's heads turned and stared at Albus, Lily, James and Rose. Everyone must've known that something is wrong. thought Albus.

"What is everyone staring at now?" asked Albus, saying it with a sigh. Meghan Redford and George Barton stepped up. "Look at this." Meghan showed to Daily Prophet. And on the front page, 'Harry Potter ordered aurors to surround Hogwarts and hasn't given a reason!' It headlined.

"Yes, it's just about my dad we have nothing to do with it." said Lily.

"Did you even read the article?" asked Meghan.

"Because I can totally read this long article in 20 seconds." said Lily sarcastically.

"But look at this photo," said George, the photo, was a photo of Harry, Hermione, James, Albus and Lily, walking across the field and Harry, pointing at the aurors. "'Harry Potter and his wife Hermione Granger, telling their children James Sirius, a 3rd year at Hogwarts, and Albus Severus and Lillian Luna, their 1st year twins, what the aurors are doing here. Something that they aren't telling us. A good idea would be to ask to them' So tell us Potters, what are they doing here?"

"What's going on?"

"What are you not telling us?"

"Well, it's not like we can just give away information to the world!" said James.

"Oh yeah? Well, is it putting us in danger?" asked John Grenich, a 4th year.

"No, it doesn't actually involve you." Lily grunted, angrily.

"Well," said Albus.

"Shush." said Lily.

"So does it?" someone shouted.

"NO!" the 4 kids shouted.

"I don't believe you." said someone.

"HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!" shouted Neville, who had just walked through the door.

"What is going on with the aurors, Professor Longbottom? Why are they here?" asked someone in the back.

"If Mr. Potter hasn't revealed it to the public, it is none of your business then." said Neville. "Now everyone, up to bed, now!"

"But it is only 7:30!"

"But as head of house, I say now." said Neville. Thank God for Neville. thought Albus.

After everyone cleared out, on their way out of the common room, Rose, Albus and Lily were stopped by Leslie, Andy and Michael. They looked at Neville, and Neville nodded, then left the room. "So. Now that everyone knows that Rose is in on the situation, don't we deserve an explanation?" asked Michael.

"What's wrong, you can tell us. You always can." said Leslie.

"Ok. I'll tell. It may be easier to hear from me. It might sound a little weird from them." said Rose. Albus and Lily walked over to the couch in the corner of the room. Lily laid her head on Albus's shoulder. "You okay?" asked Albus.

"I'm fine."

"No, I know that look." Lily giggled a little bit at that.

"Do you think we're going to die?" asked Lily.

"Really? That was what is currently on your mind."

"Well, do you?"

"I don't know. I just don't know."

"It's only our second day of classes and we already have the entire school hating us." said Lily.

"Yeah." Albus thought about that for a long time. Will we die? And after a while, he thought, If I'm going to die, I want to die with my whole family around me. He also thought about the world after he and his family were murdered. He knew that it would leave the world in panic and shock, because what would you do without the best and most famous wizard and witch in the world? Almost everyone knew his parents, and because he looked like his dad, he got all the questions about his Dad. But Lily got all the questions about his mum. James just was there. That would be nice, to be like James. They sat there for a little while, Lily resting her head on his shoulder, his arms around her. After about 10 minutes, Rose, Andy, Michael and Leslie came and sat down on the couch and chairs nearby.

"Why could you two tell us?" asked Andy

"Why couldn't we tell you? How hard do you think it is to tell your best friends you were going to be brutally murdered?" said Lily, frustratedly.

"Well…" said Andy.

"Difficult, huh? Plus the less you knew, you wouldn't try to protect us. You don't know what we're up against. And, that means that we have a weakness, you guys." said Lily.

"And that's okay. We can help you." said Leslie.

"Fine then. We'll do some investigating." Albus said, getting up. Andy and Michael followed him up the left staircase, back to their room.

"Let's go up." said Rose. The trio of girls walked up the stairs, but Lily stopped Leslie on the steps right before their room. "You like him, don't you." said Lily,

"Like who?" asked Leslie, nervously.

"Albus. You have a crush on Albus." she replied.

"No, no I don't." Leslie quickly answered.

"C'mon, it's obvious. I see the look." She turned to open the door, her head spun back around, "Just admit it. I can always tell if someone has a crush on Albus. You wouldn't believe it." Then she walked in the room. Maybe I do. He is pretty cute. And really funny, and sweet. Woaha, I do have a crush on Albus! I do! thought Leslie. She smiled, and she walked into the room. She laid down in her four-poster bed and went to sleep, but before she fell asleep, she thought to herself, If I have a crush on Albus, then I should help him on his mission to help stop whoever wants to end the Potters.

That budding romance! Oh Lily, she is so funny. Leslie is so cute, I think they will make a cute couple. What do you guys think? Next chapter will be up soon! I don't think that I will have a schedule because I usually write on the weekends and not during the week (Homework is annoying) but I will try to post as often as possible. Love y'all! -Lizzy
