The Next Generation- Chapter 6
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.

The day was going by fast and soon all the first years were gathered outside during their sixth class of the day, flying lessons. Jessica was in a better mood when they had left from Charms and she was awarded a few points, which made up for half that she had lost in Potions. Chris was back to himself, and was becoming annoying only towards teachers he thought couldn't handle him. John feared he might become a little out of control now when they go to Potions tomorrow.
"Come on now! Hurry and get beside a broom." Called their teacher, madam Hooch. Janet Longbottom stood between Jeff Creevy and Chris as Madam Hooch gave instructions. "Place your palm over your broom and say UP! The broom can detect any hint of fear and won't come up unless you're ready." She told them.
"UP!" said all the students at once. Janet's Jason Malfoy's, Chris, Jessica's, and John's came up into their hands immediately as the others still struggled.
"Too easy." Said Jason loudly. John and Jessica exchanged looks as Janet and Chris encouraged Jason to calm down and relax him self.
"Now mount your brooms, and when I blow my whistle, you will kick off, hover a little, lean forward, and land back on the ground again." She said and blew the whistle. All the students kicked off and began to fly around a little bit in the sky. They had actually did so well, Madam Hooch let them play tag.
"This just might be my favorite class." Said Chris as they placed their broomsticks down and began to head in the castle for lunch.
"We've still got Transfigurations." Said John cheerfully. As they made their way into the castle, Jessica stopped and was staring at something with great curiosity.
"That shadow, you didn't see it?" she asked, the boys both looking a bit worried.
"No. Jess, are you ok?" asked Chris and she nodded slowly. "Don't worry. Maybe it's from being in the sun for so long." He suggested, and the continued on their way to Transfiguration. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"It's freezing up here!" Ron told Harry, pulling his cloak closer to him, his teeth chattering madly as they stood in knee deep snow. They had been called on duty, he and Harry up in the mountains searching for the person who had reported seeing something strange. Harry pushed his glasses back up his nose and looked around through the snow.
"Up there! That cabin." Called Harry. Ron looked up and saw a cabin sitting up a hill. He frowned and looked at Harry. Harry grinned at him. "Maybe when we finish we can go into town and get some butterbeer. Maybe even bring Alex and Josh something back." He suggested.
"Or tell Hermione that Bulgaria is the best place to let her husband go when she knew he'd die in the freezing temperatures!" The two friends went up to the cabin and Ron continued to knock on the door until a young woman answered.
"You are here! Viktor, zey are here!" called the woman. "Mum, ze men are here!" Ron and Harry exchanged nervous looks and watched as Viktor Krum and an older woman came into the room. Krum didn't seem too happy to see Ron, but his mother was very excited and started talking in rapid Bulgarian. The young woman began t translate just as quickly as her mother was talking.
"So, she saw the dark mark and the person who made it?" asked Harry and they all nodded.
"And you don't know who he is I suppose?" Ron sighed.
"A small man. He did it quick and vanished." Informed Krum and Ron turned to harry.
"Why would any one conjure up the dark mark? Voldemort is gone and dead." He muttered. "Unless it was just a way to scare people into hiding." Harry looked back at Krum and his family.
"Ok, maybe we can perform a quick memory charm on them or something?" Harry suggested, but Seamus had just apparated into the room.
"Emergency down at the ministry! Gotta go." He panted.
"Oh right. Listen, just keep your windows and doors locked and don't go outside. We'll find the culprit." Said Harry, thought he really wasn't sure. He looked back at Krum and his family one last time before apparating away. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Alex sat at Hermione's desk as her mother and the other people that worked in her department rushed around the office and owls swooped in over their heads. She was holding on to the old ragged teddy bear that had been given to her when John felt he was too old for it. Sirius was helping out Hermione with things and Alex spotted Fred and George rushing by with their arms full of papers and serious looks on their faces. Josh was in the other office with Ginny and was probably suffering just as much as she was, Alex figured, so while no one was looking, she jumped out of her chair and walked off. She spotted her grandpa scribbling something on a piece of parchment and swearing under his breath before disappearing. Out of the disappointment of having no one to play with, Alex went outside and sat at the bottom on a tree.
"Hello little girl." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione sighed and pushed her hair out of her face and pushed the rest of the files into the filing cabinet. They had been getting notices all day about people seeing the Dark mark all over and every one seemed to be panicking because of this. 'This is definitely going to be all over the Daily Prophet tomorrow.' She thought and sat up straight. "Hey Alex sweetie, sorry mummy couldn't play much with you, but maybe we can go to Honeydukes tomorrow and." she turned around and noticed her daughter was missing.
"Parvati, have you seen Alex?" she asked.
"No. I'm having a bit of a problem with my own daughter right now." She sighed, looking down at a letter she was just about to send to Jessica. Hermione rushed through the building asking everyone when she finally checked outside.
"Alex!' she announced and her daughter looked at her mother, her hand raised in the air as if about to take hold of an invisible hand. Hermione ran over and fell to her knees, scooping her daughter into her arms and crying.
"What's wrong mummy?" she asked, unaware of the fact her mom had almost had a heart attack because she couldn't find her.
"What are you doing out here alone?" Hermione asked, wiping some tears away. Alex pointed over to where she had just been facing with her hand up.
"I was talking to my new friend. He was going to take me some where real fun and he disappeared when he saw you." She answered. "He was wearing a funny looking and had a picture on his arm." She said, pointing at her wrist.
