The Next Generation- Chapter 4
Author's Note: Ron and Harry never thought that they'd end up with family lives until now, but now life is really about change. Especially since now they had kids on their way to Hogwarts and the Death Eaters were becoming more and more.

John waved out the window until his family was no longer in view. He sat down and pulled out some candy his mom had packed for him, and so did Chris and Jessica. He also noticed that Fred and George had packed a few things to play pranks on people. Jessica leaned over with a lollipop sticking out her mouth.
"What are these?" she asked curiously, looking into the bag. Then she looked up at John with a raised eyebrow. John blushed a bit.
"They're tricks my uncles gave me from their prank shop." He answered.
"Cool. I think I might send a few of those to my neighbors. I really can't stand them." Muttered Chris. Then he pulled out his wand. "My dad was trying to show me this spell to turn water into rum, wanna see?" he asked and they agreed. He pulled a bottle of water out his bag and pointed his wand at it. He continued to mutter the words and lost his patients, cursing his wand. ". Turn this water into RUM!" he yelled, and it blew up in his face.
"Awesome." Said John as Jessica glared at Chris. Suddenly, the compartment door flew open and three boys entered. The boy from the wand shop along with two bigger uglier boys.
"Do you need anything?" asked Jessica sharply. Jason smirked.
"Pretty girl like you really shouldn't be hanging out with two idiots. My dad told me a lot about the Weasleys, and they aren't really too good at being a respectable wizard family." He said and John pulled out his wand.
"Watch what you say, Jason. I'm sure you wouldn't like to know what the son of the cleverest witch of her year is capable of." He said, but Jason didn't seem to care.
"These are my friends, you can just call them Crabbe and Goyle. They hate the names their mums' gave them. You can call me Malfoy, just like my dad."
"I'd rather not." Said John and Jason grabbed the bag on treats the twins had packed. No one did anything as Jason took some and walked off with a smirk on his face.
"He won't be holding that smirk for long." Laughed Chris and they sat down, not to long before the door opened again and a girl with blonde pigtails entered a boy with her.
"Hi, is something wrong?" asked Chris.
"Nope, just looking to see who the new first years are. I'm Janet Longbottom and this is my friend, Jeff Creevy. We're going to be first years too." She said.
"Hope to see you at the sorting." Said Jeff, and they went on their way. Jessica looked out the window and turned to the boys.
"I think we'll be there soon. Better change into your robes." She said, getting up and leaving the compartment.
"So, what house do you want to be in when we get there?" asked Chris, digging through his trunk.
"I'm gonna be in Gryffindor, just like everyone else in my family." Answered John cheerfully. He pulled on his robes just as Jessica entered; pulling her hair up in two high ponytails and letting the back hang out. When the train stopped, the students all got out and looked around, spotting a giant man.
"Firs' years this way!" he called and John, Chris, and Jessica looked up at him in great curiosity. He looked back at them and a wide grin crossed his face.
"Another Weasley!" he announced, causing the kids to jump. "I'm Rubeus Hagrid, just call me Hagrid. An' yeh must be Hermione and Ron's boy. Spittin' image of yeh dad." He said and John grinned.
"Thanks." He said, and all the first years gathered into rowboats. Chris was staring into the water when a large tentacle popped out.
"Watch out for the giant squid!" called Hagrid as Chris grabbed at his heart and gasped for breath. He turned to John.
"WHY, do they have that thing out here?" he asked. Then he looked up to see Jessica petting the huge tentacle and grinning. "You're mad." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The kids were directed into the castle and up some stairs where a very strict teacher was standing. John though he had seen he once before, but didn't say anything. She was soon explaining the different houses and what she expects from them. She caught John's eye and flashed him a small smile. Chris leaned over.
"I'd hate to piss her off." He whispered and they were lead into the Great Hall where thousands of the older students were now staring at them. All the kids went from excited to nervous and sick.
"My uncles told me I'd have to fight a three headed dog." John whispered to Jessica and Chris. They watched as kids were called up and were sorted into houses. Jason Malfoy was called up and the sorting hat had hardly even got close to head before he was sorted into Slytherin. Jeff Creevey was put into Gryffindor and when Janet Longbottom had came up, the sorting hat had said her dad was a bit clumsy, but she had some talent and she was put into Gryffindor as well.
"Jessica Thomas!" called Professor McGonagall. When she came to sit down, it took a good minute to figure it out before she was sorted into Gryffindor. There were four new Ravenclaws, four new Hufflepuffs, and three new Slytherins before Chris was called. He ran up and hoped up and sat on the stool with a wide grin. John had to admit Chris was probably the bravest kid he had ever met. He didn't have a care in the world and was probably ready to face any challenge. He was sorted into Gryffindor a little too soon, because John was called up next.
"Ah yes, another Weasley. About time we had another one of you in the school." Said the hat, causing him to jump. He was pretty small for his age, so the hat fell down almost completely over his head. He became annoyed when the hat thought he would do well in any house he wanted, but after the minute passed; he was put in Gryffindor.
"Great job Jay!" said Sara happily when her cousin came and sat at the Gryffindor table. He grinned happily as he sat between Chris and Jessica. Chris was happy that he was in the house with his friends, but he was now concentrating more on when he was going to be fed. When the food had finally appeared, he had looked as though he had died and went to heaven. They were shoveling food into their mouths when a ghost came flying through the table. Chris screamed and dropped the pastry he was just about to eat.
"Awesome! You must be that Gryffindor ghost I heard about." Said Jessica.
"Oh, that Nearly Headless Nick ghost! Can you really be only partially beheaded?" asked John curiously. He glared at the kids and pulled his head up and let it fall limp on his shoulder.
"Disgusting." Muttered Chris, but a smile on his face. After the meal and dessert, the headmaster, Dumbledor, had gave out a few reminders and wished them all good night. They were later lead up to the Gryffindor tower where they would be lead to their own dorms. Chris dropped on his bed with a sigh and yawned.
"This was probably the best day of my life." He said tiredly, the sat up to face John. "You think our parents feel alone with out us?"
"No. Remember, I've got a little sister back home. Any way, I've got Pig with me. I'll be able to contact them anytime." He answered. The boys then changed into their nightclothes and fell asleep, excited about the next day.
