The Next Generation-Chapter 15

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.

When they finally hit the ground, Chris and John looked at each other and made gagging noises. "That was disgusting." Said Chris, wiping all slime off of his robes and looking around. "It's like a haunted house down here."

"Yeah, but not nearly as fun." Said John, pulling his wand out. "Lumos." Chris did the same and followed him through the room. Chris would look up at the snakeheads and then begin to tease John about them possibly swooping down and eating them whole, until they saw two people lying on the ground.

"Jessica!" announced Chris, running over to her. John came up at hie side and saw Alex leaning against her. They both seemed to be asleep, but both of them were pale.

"Alex, wake up." He said, shaking her. He head fell over to the side onto Jessica's shoulder. "Are they dead?"

"Of course not you poor boy." Came a voice, causing them to jump. Two men were standing there, one being very old looking and the other kept his hood up. He pointed his wand at them. "They're just in a little sleep, but I assure you they'll be fine."

"We should kill them now!" said the older man.

"Oh please Peter. What harm can two little boys cause?"

"More than you think!" announced Chris, and pointed his wand at the two men. "We are the son's of Aurors you know! We know a lot more spells than the average first year!"

"STUPEFY!" they announced. The one man disappeared while the other one dropped to the ground.

"Wow. I never thought I'd need to use that." Said Chris. "Dad just thought it would come in handy one day." John sighed and picked up his little sister while Chris picked up Jessica.

"Let's get out of here, eh?"

"How exactly are we suppose to do that?" asked Chris with Jessica on his back.

"You won't." came the man's voice, and they turned around. The man that they thought had left was back and had his wand pointing at them. "And if you know any better, you'll give up." Chris groaned and put Jessica back on the ground next to Alex.

"Please don't tell me I just took that finally yesterday for no good reason in life." He muttered both boys ready to defend the girls and themselves with their lives. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The following day, teachers and parents were gathered all across the Hogwarts grounds. Hagrid's dog, Fang was running around happily. Harry patted the dog on the head and sighed, looking over at Dean and Ron who hadn't talked to any one yet. Ginny looked at her brother and sighed.

"I just finished talking to McGonagall and she told me that Chris Finnigan and John are missing and no one can find them any where." She whispered.

"Are you serious?" asked Harry, knowing this was about to leave a real affect on Hermione's life, having lost both kids. "Where could they have gone?"

"I don't know, but Sara said she lent John the invisibility cloak." Ginny nodded over at her daughter who was crying into her best friend's shoulder. Harry sighed and saw Hermione leaning against the castle wall with Parvati. He went over to them and smiled a bit.

"You two all right?" he asked and Parvati sank to the ground, going into immediate tears. She didn't even answer him but cried that she had never spent enough time with her daughter or told her how proud she was of her.

"I'm a horrible mother! I never had the chance to tell her how much I loved her!" she announced. Harry looked up and saw Snape looking in there direction, but he quickly looked away as Dumbledore showed up with some students following him, two of them having that familiar Weasley red hair.

"Alex?" Hermione looked at Harry then at the few students following Dumbledore. When they moved around him, Harry saw John holding Alex up on his back and Chris and Jessica follow up at his side. Then a body that was tied up tightly came up. People gasped when they saw this, but Lavender, Parvati, and Hermione ran and scooped their children into their arms.

"Mum, let go. you're embarrassing me." Muttered John as Harry, Ron, Seamus, and Dean came up.

"Isn't that Wormtail?" Ron asked. Jessica pushed out of her mom's arms.

"Yeah! This jerk came and kidnapped me when I was leaving the library and then I saw Alex down there with some guy in a hood. The prat refused to take it off, then he put us under a sleeping spell."

"Then we remembered this story about the chamber of secrets and this girl. ghost named Myrtle showed us where this guy," Chris stopped and pointed at Wormtail. "She wanted us to come visit her again after Dumbledore came and saved us."

"Yeah, but the man with the hood got away." Said John, then pulled something out from under his robes. "Uncle Harry, here's your cloak." He said. Harry smiled and thanked him. Hermione hugged onto Alex, who was wearing some small robes to replace the ones that were torn up.

"Thank you so much Dumbledore!" she announced and the old wizard nodded.

"No need to thank me. After all, your children have just done something normal first years and even adult wizards couldn't achieve." he answered gently, then Jessica looked up at him.

"This guy said that the second in command is on the loose still. do you think he's just mental?" she asked and Dumbledore smiled.

"I'm not sure, but most likely, he's telling the truth." Chris groaned.

"C'mon now! We just got finished fighting dark wizards. Don't tell me we have to go through it again next year." He announced and Seamus patted his son on the head.

"I knew you'd be in the history books." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The last two days of school were great. Jessica had then, on the last day, she took the time to drag the boys to visit moaning myrtle, and thank her for the help. As they boarded the Hogwarts Express, Hagrid came up to John with a small smile. "You're so much like you're dad." He said and John grinned.

"Yeah, that's what my mum tells me." He laughed, and Hagrid smiled.

"Looking forward to seeing you next ear. and so you know, next year, there will be two of our Quidditch players graduating. maybe you and Chris can try out for the part as beaters." He suggested.

"Are you serious?!" asked Chris, who had just came up behind John. Hagrid nodded.

"C'mon you guys! The train is about to go!" called Jessica. The boys nodded and waved good bye to Hagrid, promising to write letters over the summer. When they reached their compartment, Jessica was looking out t he window and thinking hard about something when it came to her.

"Guys, we never found out who that second wizard was. AS soon as Dumbledore showed up, he disappeared, and no one can apperate on Hogwarts grounds." She said, and the boys looked out the window as well.

"Well hey, it's out of our hands now. After all, we caught Wormtail and Sirius can walk through the streets freely. let's just go through summer and hope for the best, eh?" suggested John, and they agreed.

"After all, next year is a new adventure all it's own."
