The Next Generation- Trouble Continued

Author's Note: This story takes place three years after John, Chris and Jessica's first year at Hogwarts. It is the summer before they start their fourth year and the introduction to a couple new characters and family members.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry potter or the characters, just my original characters that will show up in this story. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~* Chapter 13

"Mr. Weasley!" came a stern voice and John quickly snapped his head up looking around the room. Professor Trelawny was glaring at him now and it wasn't her mystic voice that had snapped at him. "Mr. Weasley, I was just saying how." she took a deep sigh. "How the way the stars are aligned and your natural talent to get in trouble shows that there is tragedy in your family. How is your mother?" she asked in her mystic voice, though she was glaring at the yawning red head. Chris was snickering and Jessica rolled her eyes.

"Just yesterday she sent me a howler. I suppose she's ok." He answered groggily. "Unless of course she's strangled the twins and Jordan to death by now. Jordan's just turned about."

"Five? Your little brother you speak of must have turned five. I can see it in my minds."

"Sorry to interrupt you professor, but Jordan's only three." Said Jessica. A few people snickered, but Professor Trelawny frowned and opened her book with a snap.

"And I suppose Miss Thomas, you and.." She stopped and looked up at Chris who had just been heard laughing. "And Mr. Finnigan won't mind coming up to the Astronomy tower with me to observe the stars as a detention."

"NO FAIR!" they yelled, but she ignored them.

"Mr. Weasley, you will be joining me tomorrow evening, alone." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"She gave me detention!" yelled John, slamming his fist on the table. Alex glared up at her brother and shook her head. TJ and Patrick had woke up when he did this and were now frowning.

"Mum told you not to get that class." She said. "I just got it for the extra sleep." John narrowed his eyes at his younger sister and Chris just muttered curse under his breath. "Dad warned you too."

"Yeah, but Uncle Fred and George suggested it. They said it was easy." John informed. Suddenly, someone came up and wrapped their arms around Chris's neck and laid their chin on the top of his head with a sigh. It was Jessica.

"So, you ready to go?" she asked tiredly. Chris looked up at the old grandfather clock and nodded.

"See you guys in two or three hours." Said Chris, picking up his bag and leaving with Jessica. Patrick frowned after them and turned John.

"Since when are they dating!?" he asked. John shrugged.

"They aren't. Jessica and Chris are just real close." He answered and Patrick frowned even more. "What's wrong? Do you fancy her?" he asked with a smirk and Patrick frowned.

"No. I fancy Al. Cherise." He said quickly. John narrowed his eyes at the boy. "Seriously! TJ's the one that fancies." before he could finish, TJ dove across the table and threw his hands over his mouth.

"Last time I'll tell you anything." He said angrily and Patrick grinned. Alex just rolled her eyes at her friends and called over to Cherise.

"See you guys later. I need to talk to Cherise about something." She said and got up, leaving them.

"Don't tell her what I said." Said Patrick before she got too far. When she was out of earshot, Fred glared at the two younger boys sitting across from him.

"Neither of you little boys had better put a move on my sister if you know what's good for you." He threatened and they both went red.

"Well. what if she puts a move on one of us?" asked TJ, causing John to scowl.

"I'll break your little bodies in half." He answered and the boys both went pale. Patrick then grinned.

"Well I'm safe, cuz as we all already know, I fancy Cherise. Alex is great too, but I'm too scared of being beat up." He said and TJ frowned, muttering under his breath. Patrick then leaned over toward TJ when John turned his back. "But I wouldn't mind it if she flirted around with me a bit." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Potter! Weasley! Are you listening!" yelled Ted Ladon, who was in charge of all the aurors. Ron and harry both jumped and looked up at the old man. He was about sixty and had a very short temper. Harry knew this because when he, Ron, Dean, and Seamus were rookies, he took know time in pointing out all their mistakes and telling them off ever hour of the day.

"Relax, Ladon!" announced Ron from Harry's side. "We're pretty experienced. Just give us the mission and we'll be on our way." He said. Ladon narrowed his eyes at the red head and cleared his throat.

"Well, seeing that Mr. Weasley is so cocky, he and his team will be getting the three day mission half way across London.. In the Dark Forest. You know, the one worse than the forest on Hogwarts grounds." All their jaws dropped. Harry looked at Ron, who was scowling deeply.

"Three days? What are we suppose to be doing in there for three days?" asked Seamus with a hint of sarcasm. Ladon turned his glare from the scowling red head to a frowning sandy haired man.

"Well Mr. Finnigan, as you may know. or should know being considered one of the ministries most talent aurors." he stopped when he noticed the grin on the four guys' faces. "You're on a search for the secret Death Eaters who are possibly training the newest Dark wizard to take over He-who-must not- be-named's spot. Harry and Ron rolled their eyes at the old man, wondering why someone who was suppose to be so wise didn't just call Voldemort by his name.

"Well I'm ready. When do we leave?" asked Dean brightly. Ladon frowned as the group stood up and stretched.

"You'll have three days to prepare and will be leaving Monday at six o'clock on the dot. I'm, sure you'll be surviving ok." He answered coldly. Harry sighed and began to wonder how he was going to tell this to Ginny when Ford stood up.

"Ted, I'd like to go with these boys." Seamus and Ron both gave identical looks of annoyance from being boys. "They may be able to handle everyday wizards, but the wizards in the Dark forest are completely different. I have seen life out there, and only the strongest of dark wizards can live there. They may need my help." He said and Ladon smirked.

"Sure you can go, Ford. After all, Mr. Weasley is a bit young and inexperienced in the mind and will need to learn a few lessons. Mr. Finnigan and the others as well." He said, nodding at Harry with a small smile. Ford thanked them and as everyone began to leave, he turned to his group of young men.

"Well boys, we'll be meeting everyday at each of your houses. Tonight at Mr. Weasley's, then Mr. Potters." Dean quickly cut Ford off. Harry figured it was about Parvati being pregnant and not in a very good mood on having visitors.

"Listen, Seamus and I have pregnant wives and they've been real strong on the mood swings. I suggest we should train around here." He said.

"I've got three kids under the ages of five and two in Hogwarts and Hermione had to send off a Howler for our oldest just a few weeks ago. Are you sure you want to come by my house?" asked Ron, crossing his arms. Harry laughed to himself. Ron must have thought the thought of an angry mother would effect Ford's decision, but it didn't.

"We will hold practices at Potter's, Weasley's and the last here. Be up and ready because I will be coming by and picking you up if you aren't on time." When Ford walked off, Ron stuck his tongue out at him.

"I really can't stand that old man. No wonder his love left him." He muttered. "So, how do we tell the girls about our little 'vacation' coming up?"
