~Chapter 2: The New Life~
"Checkmate," Cassey Weasley said proudly to Jake Potter. The two 9-year old kids were playing wizard chess, and Casey, who took after Ron, had just won for the 5th time.
"Ugh, that's it, I can't believe I keep losing to a girl!" Jake said in exasperation. He faced his father - Harry. Now Ron, Hermione, Harry, Cho, Lydia, and Andy were not known as "the kids" or "the teens." They were the grown-ups - finally. They were "The parents." Successful as they were, in the huge house they owned, they weren't yet perfect.
Harry, a famous Quidditch Seeker for England and Cho, who used to be a singer (she Hermione and Lydia quit singing two years ago, so they could stay with their families) pulled together lots of fame and fortune. Ron was now rolling in wizard gold, working as an Unspeakable in the Ministry of Magic (spies. . .you never know what they're up to!) and Hermione's and Lydia's stories was the same as Cho's. Andy was also an Unspeakable for the Ministry. Ahh yes, life was good.
Jake's bright green eyes penetrated Harry's equally emerald ones. His jet black hair he'd inherited from both his parents, was slicked upwards and spiked slightly.
Harry laughed and said, "C'mon Jake, I know you can play chess better than 'that'." Jake smiled and returned to his game with Casey.
Casey, with her long red hair from Ron and her sparkling hazel eyes from Hermione looked up and asked, "When are we eating? I'm starving!"
"Soon, Case, soon. We're waiting for Lydia and Andy." Hermione answered her daughter's question. They were all reunited at Harry and Cho's house, for lunch and then tea later on - just hanging out. Casey and Jake continued to play until the doorbell suddenly rang. Jake jumped up and yelled "I'll get it!" and he scampered to the door. He twisted the knob, and revealed Lydia, Andy, and the 10 year olds, Kathleen and Jason.
"Hi, Jake!" Lydia said brightly to her newphew. She gave him a huge hug, followed by Andy's handshake and a happy "Hey there, Jay!" The two adults moved into the house, giving everyone greetings. Kathleen and Jason followed their parents, and then joined Casey and Jake at their table. Like Ron, Harry, Hermione, Lydia, Cho, and Cedric were, they too had become best friends. "Hey Kat, guess what? I've beat Jay over here 5 times!"
"No way.really? Haha, God, Jake, you loser!" Kathleen joked. She flashed him a big smile, her brown eyes from Lydia and her chestnut hair from Andy were shinning. Jake knew Kathleen was only teasing, after all, they were cousins.
Jason, who'd inherited his father's good-looks said, "Sorry we're late. Kathleen had a. . . er . . .problem." Jason shot his twin an evil grin. "It WAS a problem, Jas! Honsetly, whoever doesn't think braking a nail is a big deal it completely nuts. It hurts! And I mean, I can't leave the house looking like I did! What if a cute boy walked up or. . .well, I guess I see why Jason doesn't understand. I mean.look at him!"
"Shut up," Jason said easily.
"You shut up," Kathleen frowned.
"Make me," Jason challanged.
"Grow up, idiot."
"Whatever, peanut head."
"Fart butt."
"Monkey brain."
"Dementor breath!" *Gasp.*
"Mudblood! Oops."
Jason had shouted 'Mudblood' for all for the grown-ups to hear. "I am NOT a Mudblood! If I was you'd be one too, stupid!" Kathleen said defiantly into the silence.
"That's enough!" Andy strode over and glared down at his children. He turned to his son. "Jas, where'd you learn that word?"
"I heard it somewhere." Jason mumbled. Everyone was silent, listening. Jason seemed to realized he'd said something bad, even if he didn't know what it actually meant. However, it looked like Kathleen did.
"Well don't say it again, otherwise, you're in big, big trouble, got it?" Andy said sharply. Jason nodded his head silently without looking at Andy. Andy walked away, and muttered "kids."
"Umm, why don't you guys serve yourselves some lunch?" Cho said awkwardly, trying to cover up the moment.
Everyone moved noisily towards the kitchen. At the counters, Cho had laid out several dishes. They formed a line, chatting absentmindedly, while serving themseleves some of Cho, Hermione and Lydia's excellent dishes. (The guys don't know how to cook!) Boiled potatos, mashed potatos, chicken, cornbread, peas, carrots, hotdogs, white bread, and spaghetti. The kids all helped themselves to food, and then carried their plates away to Jake's room. They sat on the floor, and Jason asked, "So, what IS a Mudblood then?"
Since Kathleen was the only one who knew, she cleared her throat and said, "It's a bad name for someone who's Muggle born, but they're magical. They're not purebloods. But we are purebloods anyways.all of us are," she said pointedly to her friends. "But, I know Hermione isn't.she has Muggle parents, and so does Cho.but it doesn't matter. Just don't say Mudblood, it's not cool."
"Oh."
