The Next Generation- Chapter 8
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.

Josh sat on the end of his parents' bed and stared at Harry with a very wide grin. Harry had now earned himself an awful cold and was sneezing uncontrollably. Josh was obviously enjoying this since he figured his dad could no longer had any patients and would say yes to anything he asked for. "Dad, next time you go on a trip to a freezing cold place, can I go with you?" he asked. This was the twentieth stupid question his son had asked.
"GINNY!" Harry yelled and she entered the room with a large glass and a bottle.
"Alright, before we go on with this, you drink this butter beer to warm you up and I'll give you this." She said, holding up a bottle of blue potion.
"What if I don't want it?" muttered Harry stubbornly and Ginny glared at him. "I hate the taste of that potion! You'll have to force feed me."
"Well if you would have dressed more appropriately, we would be going through this. Josh, hold you father down will you." She ordered and he obeyed, enjoying this greatly. "You know, Fred and George had left to Hogwarts yesterday and Alicia called with the strangest news." she stopped when she noticed how curious Harry was becoming. "Well, it seems she's pregnant." Said Ginny and Harry's jaw dropped. When he had swallowed the potion and Josh had moved, he looked up at his wife with great curiosity.
"Is she really. pregnant?" he asked and Ginny laughed.
"Course not. I just said that so you would open your mouth." She answered, and left the room. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Back at Hogwarts, thing weren't really as normal as they usually were. When Chris and John had arrived from the library, Jessica was sitting at a table in the corner with her face buried into her arms. They exchanged nervous looks and went over to her. Janet quickly ran over and stopped them. "What's wrong with her?" asked Chris, looking over Janet's shoulder. John noticed her shoulder were shaking and turned to Janet.
"Is she crying?" he whispered and Janet nodded, looking sadly over at her friend. "What happened to her?"
"Nothing. She got a letter from her mum about her dad and it seems that when the Aurors had went out in search for death eaters, some of them haven't showed up for the past few days." she stopped when she noticed the look on Chris's face. "She hasn't gotten any letters back yet about if he's returned yet." She finished and looked over at Jessica.
"She doesn't want any one bothering her now I suppose." Said John and Janet nodded. Chris turned around and went over to Jessica. John and Janet watched as he whispered something to her and she sat up, throwing her arms around his neck and crying harder.
"We should leave both of them alone. After all John, your dad and uncle had both showed up back home just a few days ago." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Where do you think you're going?" came a stern voice and Ron turned around to see Hermione standing at the end of the stairs, glaring at him with Alex behind him and a very tired Remus. He was staying with Hermione and Ron while Sirius stayed at Harry and Ginny's.
"Well, as you already may know, Dean and Seamus are still missing, so I'm going with Harry and the rest of the gang to find them." He answered, standing up straighter. Hermione looked at him and sighed.
"You had better bring an extra thick cloak along. you know, just in case." She said and Ron smiled brightly at her.
"Of course." He promised and gave her a quick kiss before leaving. Alex looked up a t her mom curiously.
"Where's daddy going?"
"To get himself into more trouble than he's worth." She answered. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
All the Aurors had gathered in a room and looked over the plans on finding Seamus, Dean, and another team mate named Patrick. Ron stared at the plans that Percy had made then glared up at his brother from where he was sitting. "Do you mind telling us what's the purpose of checking in places that are inhabited by a thousand people?" he asked and Percy glared at him.
"Listen, Hogwarts is having a parent meeting soon for some reason and I'm sure the children of the three guys want to see their dads!" Percy snapped.
"Funny, I thought Pat didn't like girls." Said Fred, who had just arrived. He and George haven't been having all the visitors they've wanted since top Aurors have been missing, which makes the people scared, and they came to complain.
"Listen, we'll help find the guys if you tell us where to look."
"No need." Said Harry suddenly, as Seamus and Dean came walking in, practically frozen. The guys all jumped up and ran over to them.
"Where's Pat?" asked Harry and Seamus looked up at him with chattering teeth.
"Th. they killed him." Everyone went silent and knew there were no words of encouragement that they could give at the moment.
"The only reason we got away was because the two Death Eaters that were guarding us were idiots. it was horrible." Said Dean, going paler than he already was. Suddenly, Mr. Weasley appeared in the room with Lavender and Parvati at his side. Parvati threw her arms around Dean's neck and went into tears.
"I'm so sorry! I can't believe you almost got killed and I was arguing with you about Jessica!" she cried. Dean smiled a bit nad accepted the apology. This meant that all was well back in the Thomas residence. Lavender stood there and stared at Seamus, looking as though she were sick.
"I. I thought you were. dead." She said, and started to cry in his arms. Mr. Weasley sighed and turned to his sons. The girls should be here soon to take control of things. When they do, Mr. Fudge would like to have a word with all of us." He explained and left. When the girls arrived, being the mother she was, Mrs. Weasley looked as though she was going to cry as she worked on their cuts and bruises.
"Ron. you don't think they might have some one taking Voldemort's place do you?" Harry asked. "You know, a second in command?" Ron shuddered at the thought and shrugged.
"Who knows, but if so. we had better be ready for it." He answered as Josh and Alex sat quietly in a corner and watched what was going on. "We had better have our kids ready for it too."
"Right."
