Generation Chaos
Jessica sat on the Hogwarts express for the fourth time of her life. She stared aimlessly out the window as Marcus tried shoving his trunk on the rack above.
"This semester has all been a blur." Jessica said to no one in particular. Marcus gave his trunk a final shove, and it stayed in place.
"I agree. Man, I never knew a potter could have such a good right hook." He was sporting a fashionable black eye. Jessica sighed.
"Me neither."
::Flashback to the Hogsmeade Station::
Jessica was talking with Max.
"So you're sure you don't want to come stay at my place this summer? It has to beat being in the orphanage." Max said.
"Potter quit bothering the girl. She probably thinks your going to chase her around with mistletoe all summer."
"Buzz off Malfoy."
"Oh, so original. Didn't your Daddy use that one when he went to Hogwarts?"
"Marcus, Max, knock it off." Jessica yelled. Both boys became silent for a second, and then began bickering again. Jessica sighed and went over to talk to Alannah and Niaomi.
"Hey guys." Jessica said as she flopped down on top of Alannah's trunk.
"Max and Marcus fighting again?" Niaomi asked. The three girls glanced over at the two boys yelling obscenities at each other,
"Yup. They just can't get along, and it drives me nuts!" Suddenly there was a yell and everyone's attention was brought to Marcus and Max. They were engaged in a fistfight. Jessica ran over to the two to separate them. It took Jessica, Niaomi, Alannah, Kurt, Paul and Skylar to get them away from each other's throats.
"Puddlemere's better anyway." Skylar said, standing between the two. They stopped struggling to get towards each other. They looked at her, and then lurched toward her as she ran away, laughing.
::End of Flashback::
"What were you guys fighting about anyway? And why did Skylar say that about Puddlemere?"
"Nothing important." Marcus answered, waving his hand in an offhand expression.
"Tell me now, or I'll tell your father you got beat up by Potter's son, not a half breed witch."
"Either way I'm sure to get lectured. Alright, we were "discussing" the best Quidditch team, and we both insulted each others favorite team."
"Boys and Quidditch." She mumbled. "Do you remember the last Quidditch match, how angry the Slytherin and Gryffindor teams were?"
"Do I? My brother wanted to decapitate Erica."
::Why is Quidditch always on guys minds? Is it anything like WWF wrestling?::
"Welcome Quidditch fans to the Hufflepuff vs. Ravenclaw match. It would've been Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, but after last seasons match, Gryffindor and Slytherin were disqualified from the Cup. Now sit back and watch the match that will determine who will win the Quidditch Cup and possibility the House Cup." Meg sat the megaphone down and turned to Sharley, who was up there to 'monitor' Meg's actions. Mainly to keep her from egging on a fight.
"10 galleons that Hufflepuff will win."
"To think that McGonagall trusted you to stop me from doing wrong. Make it 15." They shook hands as Hooch blew the whistle. Both teams shoot into the air and into action.
"It's Winner, Bloom, Lutz, Bloom, Winner, Lutz. Damn this is confusing. Lutz passes to Winner for the score. Ten to zero Ravenclaw. Duke gets the Quaffle and passes to Smith. Ouch, that really had to hurt. Williams hit the Bludger toward Smith and knocked her off the broom. Hufflepuff calls a time out to make sure their player is alright." Meg put the megaphone down and looked at Sharley. "Are you sure you don't want to back out now?"
"No. If I know my Hufflepuff they'll win."
"And how do you know that?"
"I threatened them all with detention if they didn't win."
"You little cheater. Definitely Head Girl material in my opinion." Meg smirked and picked up the megaphone again as both teams got on their brooms.
"And we're back. Eek! Hufflepuff Seeker Charleston has caught the snitch. There goes my profits."
::Yeah, I think it's the end of that.::
"I can't believe Meg didn't realize her megaphone was on the whole time." Jessica said. Marcus laughed.
"Yeah. Remember what happened afterward? When it started raining?"
"That? What happened exactly?"
::Flashback to Quidditch Pitch::
"I can't believe you had to pull that stupid stunt and get Slytherin disqualified from the Quidditch Match." Shenlong Malfoy said to Erica.
"You're the one that turned me into a tree." Erica yelled back. Marcus sighed and looked across the pitch to where Jessica, Niaomi, Tim, Meg, Max and Alannah were sitting. Skylar was up in the air, showing off her talent at riding in the rain.
"What are we doing out here anyway?" He thought. "It's raining cats and dogs." He looked over at his brother who was staring at Skylar with utmost hate.
"Next time we go to Honeydukes, I'm not letting you buy half a crate of blood pops. You totally blew our profits." Tim yelled up to Skylar, who was flying in and out of the golden hoops.
"But the look on those second years faces when she told them what they were was great." Meg said, eating a chocolate bar under her umbrella.
"So are you going to work at Weasley Wizard Wheezes this summer?" Tim asked Skylar, who was hovering over his head.
"Of course, but my dad wants me to do some internship thing at the Auror office. Basically I think he wants to keep an eye on me, and my budget. But I promise I won't steal anything this year."
"Your promises are hollow. So Ely, what are you going to do over summer?" Tim asked her. She looked up at him.
"Either run away from the orphanage or try living with a foster family for more than a day."
"You could stay with me." Max offered.
"No thanks I wouldn't want to be a bother."
:: End of that flashback.::
"You were worried you would be a bother?" Marcus asked. "I thought Max would be the bother."
"I don't know why you don't like him."
"Potters and Malfoy's have always hated each other. Just like Gryffindors and Slytherins."
"But I'm a Gryffindor, and we're like best friends.
"I know. That's why we had to keep our friendship secret for the first few weeks, remember?"
"Who did you hang out with before Max leaked our secret?"
"Morgania Dursley, Potter's cousin."
::Guess what? Another Flashback::
"Hey, you're the new Malfoy right?" Morgania asked. Marcus looked up from his Potions homework.
"Yeah, and you are?"
"Morgania Dursley."
"Nice to meet you."
"Wow. You're the total opposite of your brother."
"Yes, I know. I take after my mother. I'm more like Erica."
"So, instead of sitting by your lonesome at meals, do you want to sit with me?"
"Don't you sit by your lonesome too?"
"Yeah, but now we won't be outcasts."
"We will always be outcasts."
"But we won't be by our lonesome anymore."
"You're confusing me."
"I'm confusing myself. Just because we're in Slytherin doesn't mean we have to be friends with only Slytherins. Like how you're friends with Jessica Ely."
"How did you know that?"
"I have Potions with you. I was watching you the first day. See, I know how you
feel about the whole friends in Gryffindor. I've been really bummed out. I haven't talked to Max, and the others for a while now. And this is just the beginning, I still have 6 more years of school." She put the old dusty book back on the shelf and continued strolling through the library.
"Maybe they've just been busy." Marcus said.
"I did talk to Kurt and Paul on the train. Kurt's so cute. But so is Paul, they're twins for Albus' sake. I'm not really related to them anyway so it's all right. Why is my life so screwed up?" Marcus flopped down in one of the chairs and stared at the ceiling.
"Are you alright ?" Morgania asked.
"Yeah, just thinking."
"Oh you shouldn't do that. It hurts too much. Mentally and emotionally." She sat down next to him. "So what were you thinking about?"
"Nothing and everything."
"Ah. Was the meaning of life one of those nothings?"
"Nope, haven't gotten to that yet."
"Sorry to have disturbed you then."
"Actually I'm glad you did. If I think too much, that's when I get in trouble. So who is this Kurt kid you were talking about?"
"Oh, he's Max's cousin. But after a while he stopped talking to me and left. All the others left me too."
"Ah, the Slytherin curse has struck again."
"What do you mean?"
"Every Slytherin that were friends with Gryffindors before they were separated, have lasted at the most 1 year. You have lasted almost half a year."
"You mean it's always happened? What about Erica and Skylar and Tim? Erica's a Slytherin and is friends with Gryffindors."
"Well, they weren't friends before Hogwarts."
"You're making me depressed."
"Ah don't be."
"Is that your solution for everything?"
"Yup, isn't it so great?"
"No offense but your solution sucks."
"That's why it's great." Morgania shook her head and walked out of the library.
::Flashback has ended::
"Well that must have been an entertaining week." Jessica said, laughing.
"It was very entertaining. So what did you do that week?"
"I got reacquainted with my good old buddy called detention."
::Ahhhh, another Flashback::
Jessica got, one again, a detention for fighting with Max Potter.
"I can't believe we have to do this again." Max whined. They were raking all the leaves at the edge of the Forbidden forest for the second time that semester. The time before was because of the food fight they started with Skylar and Tim."
"This is a lot harder with only two of us." Jessica whined. "How come the leaves in the forest never die? In spring shouldn't it be blooming leaves, no losing them?"
"Probably Snape put a spell on them since he knew how much we hated doing this before."
"It was more fun with Skylar and Tim."
"Yeah, but they sneaked their wands and was forced to do another detention."
"But watching leaves do a Conga line was worth it." Skylar scared them. "I see my little prodigies got a detention. What did I miss?" She rubbed her hands together and looked down at the leaves. "How come they aren't dancing?"
"Because Snape confiscated our wands after I was beating Max over the head with it."
"Ah. Well I just happen to have mine right here." She dug her hand around in her pockets, all eleven of them. "Well it was right here." She scratched her head. "Oh year I remember." She turned and ran back to the castle yelling "TIM!"
::End of yet another Flashback::
"What's up with her and Tim anyway?"
"No one knows. Supposedly, as Meg told me, they told each other their feelings, but both are too chicken to make the first move. Like that one time…"
::Please keep all arms and legs inside the Time Machine at all times::
"What did she do now?" Lorna had Skylar in her arms, as she carried her into the infirmary. She was unconscious.
"She thought she could be Super Woman and play out in the rain. Some Slytherin hit a Bludger at her and it hit her in the gut. She didn't have her hands on the broom." Lorna sat her down on the hospital bed. "She tried breaking her fall with her arm."
"Now that's a nasty angle." Madame Pomfrey grimaced as Lorna gently pulled her arm out of the cloak that was covering her. "Did she hit her head when she fell?"
"No."
"Then how did she get unconscious?"
"Oh, I heard her scream really loud when her elbow decided it wanted to go the other way. I rushed out of my greenhouse and saw her clutching her arm and Tim trying to help her up."
"How did she get knocked out?"
"I hit her over the head with the Bludger bat so she wouldn't feel any pain."
"You did what?" She screamed.
"No need to thank me." Lorna walked out whistling.
::As the time machine comes to a stop…::
"How does that play in with their romance?"
"Shut up Marcus, I'm not done yet."
"Wait…is this when we were all out on the pitch, and I got detention…."
::Sorry we didn't press the stop button, you'll have to go around again::
Marcus emptied another load of bedpans into the sink.
"This is so disgusting."
"At least I'm letting you off with cleaning mine." Skylar said, opening up another boy of chocolate from 2nd year Hufflepuff boys. Gifts, and even a toilet seat from Kurt and Paul surrounded her bed. Pomfrey kept her in the infirmary because she cracked a rib, bruised a couple, her arm wasn't healing right, and for a minor head injury.
"Yes, thank you for that." Marcus had detention to clean bedpans, until Skylar left the hospital wing. He was blamed for hitting Skylar with the Bludger, but it wasn't him. Both he and Skylar knew that it was Shenlong that hit her because of the disqualification of both teams. Skylar told him that she could hold it until Madame Pomfrey left, but then he'd have to help her hobble to the bathroom. While she was in there, he'd fill her pan with pumpkin juice. As long as there was a yellow liquid in it, Pomfrey had no one to yell at.
::Sorry, the time machine has currently broken down. Please wait patiently as you are ripped from the memory.::
"Eww…that's nasty. Why don't we just use the example of Erica, Meg and the mistletoe?"
"Cuz everyone has heard that story before."
"But it's less gross, than bed pans at least."
"But I haven't gotten to the best part yet."
::We have fixed the problem, thank you for not unbuckling your seat belts and falling about 20 centuries.::
Then one day, Tim came in to visit. Marcus watched from the sink in which he scrubbed the pumpkin juice out of the bedpans, as Skylar and Tim talked quietly. Marcus tried not to laugh as he watched the two looking at each other with lovey-dovey eyes and flirting. Then Jessica came storming in with purple antlers sprouting from her head. Skylar and Tim didn't even blink.
"What's with them?" Jessica asked Marcus.
"They've been like this for the last 20 minutes."
"They look like they are going to pounce each other and do it like the pigeons." (Sorry about the Drop Dead Fred reference)
"I know."
"Why doesn't one of the move?"
"Oh, they will when Pomfrey gets back."
Later that night, Marcus entered the hospital wing under his invisibility cloak. His mother gave him one before he went to Durmstrangs.
"Skylar…" He whispered. She was still sleeping, but wasn't the only one on the bed. Tim was sitting on the edge of it. He brushed the hair off her face and kissed her temple. She whacked him in her sleep. He jumped under her bed as she opened her eyes.
"What the…Marcus are you here?" She said drowsily. He took off the invisibility cloak.
"Yeah, I'm over here."
"Did you just kiss me?"
"No…" He threw the cloak on the floor. Tim peeked out from the side closest to Marcus. He looked up as Marcus nodded. Taking the quick opportunity that Skylar's back was turned; he threw the cloak over himself and crawled out of the hospital wing.
"I was having the weirdest…but best dream. I dreamt Tim as in here and kissed me. He can be so sweet at times, but utterly stupid all the same." She threw her good arm over Marcus' shoulders and hobbled to the bathroom.
::Back to the future part 1009::
"What are you guys doing?" Meg asked as she entered their compartment with Skylar, Tim, Max, Niaomi, and Alannah in tow.
"Just remembering some of the most interesting parts of the school year." Marcus said. The others found spots to sit, and they continued to ramble on about different things here and there. Jessica sighed as she looked at the people that gave her the first family she ever had. She joined in with the game of Exploding Snap turned Russian Roulette.
Well folks, that's the end of the first year. Tune in next week for Jessica's adventures through summer. Then 2nd year will begin. If anyone would like to help please email me. The 2nd year(or in Skylar's, Megs, and Tim's case 6th) will be letters that the students send home. If you would like to help, just email me at drmydruidd@netscape.net We need letters from students not yet mentioned in the story. Oh yeah, 2nd year will be called "Those Poor Owls" Jessica's summer is gonna be called "Through the Eyes of a Half-Breed Scam Artist." It will be in her POV. Now that you're done reading this, go read Hawkins story Like A Pet. It's an awesome story about a girl finding a wounded Padfoot. And no, she did not put me up to this, she put me up to this- GO VISIT MY RPG! http://pub65.ezboard.com/bohcyspisland Thanks for all your reviews!
Jessica sat on the Hogwarts express for the fourth time of her life. She stared aimlessly out the window as Marcus tried shoving his trunk on the rack above.
"This semester has all been a blur." Jessica said to no one in particular. Marcus gave his trunk a final shove, and it stayed in place.
"I agree. Man, I never knew a potter could have such a good right hook." He was sporting a fashionable black eye. Jessica sighed.
"Me neither."
::Flashback to the Hogsmeade Station::
Jessica was talking with Max.
"So you're sure you don't want to come stay at my place this summer? It has to beat being in the orphanage." Max said.
"Potter quit bothering the girl. She probably thinks your going to chase her around with mistletoe all summer."
"Buzz off Malfoy."
"Oh, so original. Didn't your Daddy use that one when he went to Hogwarts?"
"Marcus, Max, knock it off." Jessica yelled. Both boys became silent for a second, and then began bickering again. Jessica sighed and went over to talk to Alannah and Niaomi.

"Did you just kiss me?"
"No…" He threw the cloak on the floor. Tim peeked out from the side closest to Marcus. He looked up as Marcus nodded. Taking the quick opportunity that Skylar's back was turned; he threw the cloak over himself and crawled out of the hospital wing.
"I was having the weirdest…but best dream. I dreamt Tim as in here and kissed me. He can be so sweet at times, but utterly stupid all the same." She threw her good arm over Marcus' shoulders and hobbled to the bathroom.
::Back to the future part 1009::
"What are you guys doing?" Meg asked as she entered their compartment with Skylar, Tim, Max, Niaomi, and Alannah in tow.
"Just remembering some of the most interesting parts of the school year." Marcus said. The others found spots to sit, and they continued to ramble on about different things here and there. Jessica sighed as she looked at the people that gave her the first family she ever had. She joined in with the game of Exploding Snap turned Russian Roulette.
Well folks, that's the end of the first year. Tune in next week for Jessica's adventures through summer. Then 2nd year will begin. If anyone would like to help please email me. The 2nd year(or in Skylar's, Megs, and Tim's case 6th) will be letters that the students send home. If you would like to help, just email me at drmydruidd@netscape.net We need letters from students not yet mentioned in the story. Oh yeah, 2nd year will be called "Those Poor Owls" Jessica's summer is gonna be called "Through the Eyes of a Half-Breed Scam Artist." It will be in her POV. Now that you're done reading this, go read Hawkins story Like A Pet. It's an awesome story about a girl finding a wounded Padfoot.
