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 19

"So, I want you back in an hour, ok." Said Hermione. Ron nodded and crossed his arms. He figured that since they would be trick or treating in the muggle community, he could leave in his robes, but the kids wanted to dress up. The twins were pirates, Jackie was a princess, Jake was a knight, and Jordan wanted to go as an Auror, so Fred gave him a fake wand and he went in some robes and a pointed hat. The kids were all jumping up and down happily.

"Alright kids, let's go!" announced Ron and the kids all gathered into the wagon Ron had ready.

"Take care, ok." Said Hermione, handing them each bags for their candy. "And make sure they don't make any attempts to get away from you." She whispered, nodding at the twins, who were the youngest of the group, but most likely to try and get away.

"I know what I'm doing Hermione. We do have five kids after all." He said, and smiled. "You make it sound like when we were first years and had to try and get past fluffy." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"He's huge." Said TJ in shock when they had spotted the three-headed dog. They were hiding around the corner and watched as the dog began sniffing around. "I imagine how they feed that thing!" he announced excitedly.

"I wonder how he got loose. I thought he lived on the third floor." Said Patrick thoughtfully, and looked at Alex. "I bet you it was a student."

"Who would be that thick though?" she asked, and the dog began sniffling into their direction. "Why is he coming this way." she panicked.

"I think he smells something. Alex, you don't wear perfume do you?" TJ asked, earning a glare from her.

"Uh oh." came Patrick's voice in the darkness of the corner. The two friends turned around and looked at him in shock as he held out his hand full of pastries and snacks. "I just remembered I was saving these for later on. He must have caught the scent." He said and TJ slapped his forehead with the palm of his hand.

"Bloody hell Patrick! Could you make it an easier for us to get killed!" TJ yelled and Alex threw her hand over his mouth.

"Don't go blaming it all on him because it was your idea to come here!" she snapped. "Plus, with their three large heads and your big mouth, you'll give us away faster than the scent of the food." She let go of him and sighed.

"So, now what do we do?" asked Patrick nervously as Fluffy came closer. Alex reached in her pocket.

"Get your wands ready and hope a teacher discovers we're missing." She answered. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

John checked his watch and turned to Chris. "I dunno, I thin the teachers might have beaten us there already. He informed. Chris pulled out his wand and placed it on his palm.

"Point me." He said and the wand spun in his hand. "Looks like he's still in the same spot. Just moving about a bit there." He said. Jessica sighed and looked down the corridor.

"Listen, al we need is a run in with Peeves or Filch and our plan for a little Halloween fun is over. Let's go check out this dog and go." She said irritably.

"HELP!" The three friends looked up. John felt the blood drain form his face.

"That's Alex!" he announced, and was about to run off when Chris held his arms out and stopped him. "Get out of my way! I have to save my sister!" he snapped.

"Yeah, but you can't just go rushing into this. That dog could eat you live! Now lets do this the right way." Chris ordered and Jessica nodded at John to reassure him that that would work out. John took a deep breath and agreed.

"Alright boys, let's go then!" said Jessica and they rushed down the hall. When they reached the corner, all they saw was the back of the huge dog.

"PUT HIM DOWN!" screamed a voice and they looked to se Alex waving her wand threateningly up at the dog.

"ALEX!" called John and they ran over to her. When they got around, they saw Patrick hanging up in the air with the back of his robes on the dog's mouth and the rest of him kicking.

"SAVE ME!" screamed Patrick, kicking even more fiercely. Alex began tugging on her brothers robe sleeve impatiently.

"Save him John!" she screamed.

"Hold on tight Pat! We've got fourth years here to help us!" called TJ. Patrick scowled down at them as the dog continued to chew his robes.

"Well if they're so great, why the HELL am I still up here!" he screamed.

"I've got this!" said Jessica, rolling up her sleeves and pointing her wand at the dog, shouting a spell. Patrick slowly came down to the ground and Alex threw her arms around his neck, hugging him

"You were SO brave!" she announced and Patrick blushed before turning and looking at the end of his robes where a mini dog was hanging at the end of it. Chris pulled the dog off and grinned.

"Wicked job, Jessica!" he laughed, placing the dog in its palm. John sighed and ran his fingers through his hair while TJ patted Patrick on the back.

"Well this was pretty fun, don't you think?"

"FUN!" The group all cringed and turned around to see the head houses staring at the group of Gryffindors, Chris with the miniature Fluffy in the palm of his hand.

"Professor, we can explain." Said Jessica, trying quickly to calm the enraged Professor McGonagall down.
