Nigel:: Nope, not a slasher. There is way to many out there. They are 11, so couples won't develope for a while, maybe crushes, and that will probably be in one of the sequels. Yes, I am going to do their whole years and I'm happy to make your cake and help decorate it. Your reading my mind. ;D
Next Generation: Mysteries of Hogwarts
Chapter 8
Scorpius stood by the door to the detention room casually. He still had some minor bruising and a couple scraps, but he had recovered extremely well. Rose stood next to him holding her books, she rolled her eyes as Albus finally came out. She perched her lips as Albus, threw his arm around Scorpius and her, putting most weight on her. The watched as the Slytherin's walked out bitterly.
"So, more lines." said Rose.
"Yeah, it's really not that bad to be honest. Killed them however, some of them seem to not have a very good education with writing. Anyway, so did I miss anything in the hour I was in there?" asked Albus.
"No." the both said calmly.
"I love Halloween." was a loud shout from down the hall.
The three all turned their head quickly to see Serendipity talking to Mai Coroner. Serendipity had gotten rid of her Ravenclaw colors and was wearing purple and green with large black cat earrings. She had a particularly spider webbed classic witch hat. It was a Saturday and it was casual wear, but she stood out from most other students. Mai seemed to get a giggle out of it and had even decided to wear Serendipity's hat.
"Hey, what's with the decor?" asked Rose, walking over to them.
"We both love Halloween, so we decided to dress up for it. We where going to wear costumes, but I liked this." said Serendipity her eyes dreamy as she began to play with her cat earrings.
"Looks... nice." said Scorpius to the two girls.
"Thanks." said Mai sweetly.
"Thank you Scorpy." said Serendipity.
"Scorpy?" Scorpius face was contorted with many emotions, many disturbed.
"Will you eat over by us?" asked Rose.
"We'd love too." said Mai, "Well see you in a bit, we have to go put the finishing touches on our outfits."
"There both Ravenclaws?" asked Albus.
"Yeah." said Rose.
"Scorpy?"
"Let's go see Snape." said Albus happily.
"Yes, we still have to tell him what has been happening." said Rose as the group walked towards the Memorial Room.
The three walked, well Scorpius was pushed, to the room. As they entered, they stopped at the door. Everyone in the portraits where talking, there was even other people from portraits there. They slowly walked to Snape's who seemed to be finishing up a conversation with Dumbledore. He looked at the three waiting for someone to talk.
"Well what is it?" he finally snapped.
"Well, we've been meaning to come in here. You can probably help us." said Rose.
"I don't want to." said Snape.
"Too bad." said Rose.
"Scorpy?" Scorpius was still in his state of horror.
"What's his problem?" asked Snape.
"His brain is on the fritz." said Albus, calmly patting Scorpius' head.
"Well we've been seeing something strange." said Rose, continuing the conversation.
"That's nice." said Snape, looking at his nails carelessly.
"I can help." said Dumbledore.
"Nah, that's okay. Snape is all we really need." said Albus with a proud smile.
"No, ask him." said Snape quickly, "He'll help you. He helped the others, ask him."
"Don't be silly Snape. We came here for you. Besides, you help all our parents." said Rose.
"No, it was his idea." said Snape.
"Don't lie." said Albus, "It's bad for the soul."
"I'm a painting on a wall. . . go ask Longbottom if you want help from a soul." said Snape, "In fact you'll get better results from a Blast Ended Scruit, than me. So Shoo."
"Your funny." said Albus.
"Are you sure you don't need my help?" asked Dumbledore, sounding desperate.
"No." said Rose and Albus.
"Scorpy?"
"Snap out of it!" Rose snapped and Scorpius blinked.
"Why Scorpy, that's degrading to my name. What's wrong with Scorpius?" said Scorpius bitterly.
"I am not even going to comment." said Rose, turning from him to Snape.
"Anyway, we've been seeing this. . . women in the forest and so far only we've seen her. . . or she only makes herself appear to us." said Albus.
"That's lovely." said Snape, looking at the brass on his frame.
"We think she's evil." said Scorpius, "Well I know she is."
"Interesting." said Snape, picking at his cloak.
"She keeps trying to lure us with her and its to this weird stone, I think." said Albus, eyes wide in excitement.
"Fascinating." Snape was looking at his hair.
"She know's our names." said Scorpius, this he hadn't said before.
"What?" asked Rose, eyes wide.
"Well she know's mine. She acted like she knows me." said Scorpius.
"Maybe it's some sort of trap." said Albus.
"Maybe she's trying to lure our parents by using us." said Rose.
"She's scary and creepy. Why us?" asked Albus.
"I don't think she's trying to scare us. When I looked in her eyes, she was trying to be sweet, but she's pure evil." said Scorpius.
"Is it wrong to want her dress." said Rose out of no where.
"No, but it's disturbing." said Scorpius slowly and Albus just stared.
"Sorry. . . maybe we should just ignore her and stay as far from the forest as possible." said Rose.
"Sounds like a decent plan for now. But after we find out a little more. Maybe there's something really important in the stone." said Albus.
"We should make a pact, we don't follow her at any risk, we can question her only when where together." said Rose.
"She never appears that way, I think she wants us separate." said Scorpius.
"Did either of you feel like you where almost forced or compelled to follow her?" asked Albus.
"Yes." they both said.
"So far we've figured out it's a trap. Now for the next step. . . why?" said Rose, and they smiled.
"Thanks Snape, we needed the help." said Albus with a grin.
"Couldn't do it without you." said Rose and she began to pull the boys out of the room.
"Not much of a talker is he?" asked Scorpius.
"This whole conversation thing, is actually pretty simple." said Snape.
"You didn't do anything." said Dumbledore, a bit annoyed.
"So, it helped them." said Snape.
"How..." Dumbledore gave up and shook his head.
At dinner that night, the whole school was talking. The tradition of sitting only with your house mates had fallen years before, now was simple unity at feasts. People where mixed around at different tables. The occasional Slytherine was somewhere other than there table, but other wise most of their table was unmoving. Serendipity and Mai sat over with the group cheerfully dressed in the most witchy muggle outfits there was. James and Lynn where having a discussion about Quidditch, Fred through a few words in about a 'Two seater Broom with a Baby carrier,' making the two blue. As for Victoire, she was talking to one of her Hufflepuff friends and a few other Gryffindors. Everyone was eating their candies when Scorpius noticed there where no ghosts.
"Where are all the ghosts?" he asked in amazement.
"Halloween party." said Fred, tossing a candy in the air and catching it.
"The ghosts have a party?" asked Rose.
"Don't you remember when my dad told us about the time he and your parents went to one." said Albus.
"Oh yeah. Didn't he say it was boring." said Rose.
"Yeah, he said Peeves was interesting to watch though." said James.
"But it sounds kind of disgusting the way they 'try' and eat food." said Victoire.
"Hey, if I was a ghost and couldn't enjoy food, I'd at least like to pretend." said Fred.
"But it sounds, horrible." said Victoire, her nose scrunched.
"Do you feel left out?" Scorpius asked Mai, she nodded.
"My mom doesn't have many interesting tales, only things like the DA and Ministry Conspiracy's." said Mai.
"My dad tells me nothing, and my mom doesn't have any good ones either." said Scorpius.
"My parents have alot." said Serendipity, "Not as much as Albus' or Rose's parents though. But I find all of them rather exciting. Swords, werewolves, chambers, Voldie, mass murderer's, all are very fun to listen too."
"Aren't you lot, oodles of fun." said Michelle Finnigan from behind them.
"Hey, Michelle. Have a seat." said Rose, happily.
"I never got to ask you James. . . where did you learn that hex from?" asked Albus.
"Oh, the Bat-Bogey Hex? From mom." said James, taking a bite of chocolate.
"Mom, showed you?" Albus looked shocked.
"Yeah, but act like you don't know how to do it when she shows you next year." said James, with a smirk.
"Hey Seri, what's with your dad?" asked Scorpius, pointing up to the teachers.
Neville seemed to be in urgent conversation with McGonigall, and slowly other teachers joined in. After a few moments, Neville and Hagrid left the Great Hall and McGonigall looked worried. The three looked at each other and then to Serendipity, who seemed to be contemplating this. The three got up and began to leave, when Lynn noticed this.
"Where do you think your going?" she asked quickly.
"Common Room." they all said at the same time.
"Okay." she said hesitantly.
"Snape's?" asked Rose as they left the Great Hall entrance.
"Who else would we talk to about this." said Albus.
"Did anyone maybe think that it was just something teacher related. Maybe someone they know got hurt." said Scorpius.
"...Nah." said the two after a moments thinking.
"Nothings normal here at Hogwarts." said Rose.
"Yeah, it's full of mysteries. . . every year. You just have to be the lucky one to find it." said Albus.
"Can't we be unlucky." muttered Scorpius under his breath.
They where heading to the Memorial Room, when they saw Neville. Hagrid was going off into a different direction. Albus motioned that he'd follow Albus and Rose and Scorpius should follow Hagrid. Rose looked as if she was going to argue, but Albus had run off and she felt Scorpius grab her hand and start moving towards the area Hagrid had gone too.
"I don't need you to pull me." said Rose in an angry whisper.
"Sorry." he said.
"Well." she said looking at him.
"Well what?" He asked then saw he was still holding her hand, "Oh, yeah."
"Thank you." she said with an annoyed grimace as he let go, "Now where did Hagrid go?"
