The Next Generation-Chapter 14
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 year was going by fast and the students soon found themselves gathering up their notes and studying for the finals. Chris loosened his tie and wiped the sweat of his forehead as they sat under the old oak tree by the lake and worked on Transfiguration. John was tired of studying and wanted to go back in the castle or anything when he came across something.
"Hey... maybe that Pettigrew guy could turn into a rat. I know this guy who can transform into a huge dog. And he keeps telling my dad that he's still on a hunt for some one named Scabbers.. Dad says that was the name of his old rat and he was really loyal to Voldemort. and Chris's rat has been missing ever since we returned form Christmas break." Said John, still looking down at his book.
"But then why hasn't he attacked yet?" asked Jessica, taking the book away and reading it.
"I dunno, maybe he's waiting to catch us off guard. Chris did find him hiding in the boys dorm, and no one else claimed it." They all exchanged looks before gathering up their things and running into the castle.
"I'll be in the library!" called Jessica, splitting up from the boys. They ran up to their dorm and began to look through all their things. John pulled his wand out; deciding to use a useful charm his mom had used on his plenty of times.
"Accio rat." Said John, but nothing happened.
"He must not be on the grounds anymore." Said Chris. They continued to search the castle, doing summoning charms in certain paces, but never finding anything. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chris sat in the windowsill in the common room, looking down at the school grounds. "It's nearly eleven. why isn't Jessica back yet?" he muttered and John sat across from him.
"Maybe she's not coming until she finds something." Said John thoughtfully as they looked up at the sky. Suddenly, the portrait hole flew open and Jessica came in, dropping some books on the table.
"I found all these books and they're all up to date. One Professor had Voldemort attached to him and was after this thing called the sorcerer's stone. Harry Potter defeated him with the help of Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger." Jessica read. "They helped him get through the three headed dog, a room full of flying keys, a giant chess board, a some potions, a few being poison."
"That's wicked." Said Chris and John. Jessica slid the book over to them and John took over.
"Second year, the Chamber of Secrets was opened. Had nothing to do with the poor excuse for a professor, Gilderory Lockhart, but a diary in which Tom Riddle (Also known as lord Voldemort) kept his memories." Said John. "Third year, Sirius Black broke free from Azkaban and dementors were placed all around the castle but removed when almost killing three students. The professor was a werewolf."
"Man, our parents had all the fun when they were here." Said Chris, taking the book. "Fourth year, the Tri-wizard tournaments were started and to make sure no under aged wizards would enter, an age-line was made around the legendary Goblet of Fire." Chris looked up at Jessica.
"It was used to determine the three people worthy of being in the tournament." She answered.
"Oh, it was very efficient since the Weasley twins, Fredrick and George Weasley tried to cross over and failed, being thrown back and having large beards on their faces. Most unfortunately, there were four champions and one being under aged and Mr. Harry James Potter. Later, through confession of a death eater who had used Polyjiuce Potion to disguise himself as Alastor Moody, an Auror who was to be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts that year, he told that he had out mister Potter's name in the goblet. That's insane." Said Chris and Jessica took the book back.
"That year Voldemort had rose again. This is Dumbledore's book and I promised not to read any farther than fourth year. He said that he believes the whole second in command theory and we should be ready." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Alex was sitting outside under a tree playing in the sandbox Hermione had forced Ron into building up for her. Crookshanks was sleeping next to it when Alex saw it get up and begin hissing. "Crookshanks, what's wrong?"
"Hello Alexis." Came a familiar voice and the man in a hood appeared, floating over the sandbox with his legs crossed.
"Hi friend." Greeted Alex, getting up and going over to him as he lowered himself toward the ground a bit. "Why are you wearing that?"
"Because, I'm shy. I have no friends because everyone is afraid of me. Every one but you that is." he said, his voice like a whisper.
"My mummy and daddy are nice."
"NO! They are mean. I remember them from when I was in school.. But maybe if you come with me, they will change." He held out his hand, but when Crookshanks attacked, he knocked the cat out and grabbed Alex. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Get off of me!" grumbled John, rolling over and heard Chris calling his name. There was a lot of noise as people rushed around the dorm room. "What's going on?" he asked.
"There's been a kidnapping both in here and in the wizard community. McGonagall is down in the common room." Answered Chris. They all gathered in the common room where McGonagall announced the disappearance of Jessica Thomas and wouldn't say who was missing out of the community.
"With all that's been happening and after the chamber of secrets incident, who knows what will happen to Hogwarts." She said, and looked at John and Chris. She was best friend. I'm sorry boys." She said, and left. Sara came up to her cousin and Chris with something folded up under her robes.
"You're a bit like uncle Ron, so I'm gonna let you two borrow this. and you had better not lose it. We'll be going home in about three days and I don't want daddy to kill me." She said, and handed them Harry's old invisibility cloak.
"Are you serious?" asked John and she nodded. They thanked her and snuck out the portrait hole quietly. As they went through the castle, they finally made it to a classroom where all the teachers were.
"Did you tell the boy?" asked Dumbledore's voice.
"I couldn't Albus. After hearing about Thomas. how could I?"" answered McGonagall's voice. Dumbledore sighed.
"His little sister was kidnapped by a death eater. I don't know what they really want with Weasleys since this is the second time it has happened, but I believe he must know... And all the parents will be here tomorrow as well. We will need to contact Mr. & Mrs. Thomas." John felt sick as Chris dragged him away from the room door.
"C'mon!" he said. "I think I know where they went."
"Where who went?" asked John weakly.
"The death eaters that got your sister and Jessica. I remember reading it in the book. And there's only one other place rats go." Answered Chris and dragged and took his friend over to the bathroom that none of the girls used.
"There's a ghost named Moaning Myrtle in here and this bath room is all out of order. There's a way to the Chamber of secrets in here." When they entered the bathroom, Myrtle was seen sitting on the faucet of a sink. She looked up at the boys.
"Ooo, visitors! But I'm sure you want to come to save the two girls." she pointed over at a sink that was torn apart out of the wall. "They didn't even say hello. Just took these two girls and slid down that pipe there, they did."
"What did they look like?" asked John as Chris went over to the pipe and looked down.
"A little red head and a girl with Hogwarts robes. I suppose she was a first year from the look of her." Answered Myrtle.
"Thanks." Said John and the boys both slid down the pipe.
"You're welcome. Come back soon."
