The Next Generation-Dark Marks and Troublemakers
Author's Note: This is a third part to The Next Generation. If you've read the first two, you'll know what's going on in here. But, there are four new kids, and a set of them are twins, one you'll know if you read Trouble Continued, and the third showed up in the last Chapter of Trouble continued. So read on and tell me what you think.

"Hermione, I don't see why we have to go to this. I mean, they're having another ball on Christmas." Ron informed as his wife tried to fix his hair, which was tamed to look a bit messy, but fitted him and his personality. Plus she was treating him like a child.
"We're going because it will be fun." Answered Hermione. She looked up at her husband with shinning eye. It was surprising that even though they were aging, it wasn't really showing as much as it did in others. "Plus we haven't done anything like this since, when, our wedding?" she asked brightly. The room door opened and the twins entered, looking at their parents with sad eyes.
"What's wrong with you two?" Ron asked. They both threw themselves at their parents, hugging them around the waist.
"Please let us stay home!" they announced. Jordan passed by the room in his dress robes and rolled his eyes when he spotted his younger brothers whining. He must have figured being dragged along was better than having Alex babysitting them until their parents got home.
"Listen you two, your brother and sister have friends that are going to be there that they haven't seen in a while and so will we. It'll be great fun." Said Hermione gently. The boys both frowned.
"Can we bring dung bombs?" Hermione frowned at the boys and they sighed, leaving the room. Hermione looked up and frowned at Ron, who looked at her innocently, then smirked.
"What?" he asked innocently.
"You know what. That," Hermione pointed out the door in which the twins had just exited. "That is all your handy work."
"Yeah, they do look good in their dress robes don't they? But what can I say. We Weasleys were born good looking." Ron asked and Hermione laughed.
"Prat." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Wow, look at all the old people." Said James as he and Lily stuck close to Harry and Ginny. Josh and Sara were close behind, along with the rest of the Weasley family. Mike and Matt tried to push through, but John had grabbed hold of them as old Amos Diggory came up and greeted them, making sure they were on the list of guest and then showing them to the table.
"Really Amos, where is the wife?" asked Mr. Weasley, who was in a pretty good mood at the point.
"Mingling I suppose. I saw her not too long ago." Said Mr. Diggory and looked around at the kids. "A bigger lot than before I see." Mr. Weasley grinned and nodded.
"Been a few additions to the grandchildren list." He answered and then a girl about Matt and Mike's age went walking by. Matt watched her and was about to follow with a dazed look, but Mike grabbed him by the back of his robes.
"What's going on through that thick skull of yours? That was a girl that just passed." Harry heard the boy hiss in his ear. Harry chuckled and everyone sat around the table. The kids all looked excitedly around and John turned his head, watching an attractive blonde girl walk by.
"I'll be back mum. Something just. kinda caught my eye." He said in a dazed fashion. Ron and Hermione watched as their son walked off.
"She wasn't a veela was she?" Ron asked curiously. Harry shook his head and Fred began laughing.
"Wow Ron, your son was love stuck by a natural blonde that isn't a veela." He announced. Hermione rolled her eyes and looked after her son who was now approaching the girl, blushing deeply.
"Really Ron, he reminds me more and more of you everyday." She said, taking a sip of her wine. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
John cleared his throat and went up to the girl. He knew his younger siblings were probably staring at him as if he had gone mad. He had already heard one of the twins say it, most likely Matt since he was worst of the two anyway. It was embarrassing. He cleared his throat and tapped the girl on the shoulder. When she turned to face him, his face felt hot, as he grew red. He heard Jordan in the background groan; he was obviously shaking his head.
"John?"" said the girl, causing him to stare in shock. She grinned and threw her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. "I knew it was you!" she announced and stepped back to examine him. John stared at her, then it occurred to him.
"Janet. Wow, its actually you." He said and she blushed a little, grinning up at the tall red head. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Angelina leaned across the table a little. "Would you believe me if I told you that was Neville's daughter?" she whispered to Mrs. Weasley and Ginny. Ginny dropped her fork and looked at the girl that her nephew was talking to.
"That's Hannah and Neville's daughter?" she asked, and Angelina nodded. Mrs. Weasley shook her head knowingly.
"I remember seeing that girl when she was younger and she WAS cute. but it seems all the girls want to turn into women now." She said, then looked Alex, who was looking at a boy with great interest. Sara was doing just the same thing.
"Mum, can we go mingle too?" asked Mike, moving around in his chair restlessly. Hermione was about to refuse, but Ron cur her off.
"I don't see why not. There's nothing more fun too do." He said. The twins grinned and hopped out of their chairs and rushing into the crowd.
"Ron, you do realize what you've just done don't you?" asked Hermione with a frown. Harry shook his head knowingly.
"Yeah Ron, that's like letting a mini version of Gred and Forge out." He laughed. Fred grinned and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Well we're one of a kind. Matt and Mike may just be a little worst than we were." Jackie and Jordan exchanged looks with Jake.
"Can we go too?" they asked.
"I don't think we should let you all loose at once." Said Angelina.
"But Kevin's already gone." Informed Jake. "And so are James and Lily." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
James looked from under the table and then grabbed the bowl of treats back under with him. Lily and Kevin grinned at him. "Good job. No one saw you, right?" Lily asked and James nodded.
"You think mum and dad have noticed we've vanished yet?" asked the boy curiously. Lily shrugged.
"If so, she's probably looking for us. The kids opened their boxes of chocolate frogs at the same time, and since they weren't paying attention the frogs hopped away.
"I though they were suppose to only have one hop in them!" whispered Kevin as the three nine year olds stuck their heads from under the table. The frogs went hopping off and under some lady who seemed pretty important dress robes.
"My mum is going to go ballistic." Said Kevin and went scrabbling after the frogs. He ran up to the old witch who looked strict enough and tugged on her sleeve. James and Lily ran up to his side.
"Excuse me Miss. but our chocolate frogs just hopped under your dress robes and if our mums find out. they may just ground us for longer than our aunt Hermione has ever grounded Matt and Mike." Said Lily. The witch stared at Lily and James in shock.
"James. Lily." She said. James frowned a bit.
"How do you know who we are?" he asked. "Do you already know our parents?" Before the old witch could answer, there was a scream.
"There's one of our frogs now!" announced Kevin, and before he could get anywhere, Jackie grabbed him and held him tightly under her arm.
"So, who's handy work was the whole chocolate frog idea?" she asked. James and Lily had already run off.
"NOT MINE!" the boy announced and Jackie set him down and grabbed his wrist, dragging him off.
"You know mum is going to ground you for this little disappearing act, right?" she asked, not paying attention t the witch behind her. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Matt and Mike stood quietly in a corner laughing at the fact someone had actually picked up the pack of chocolate frogs that t hey had charmed, with John's wand, to have more than one hop. Of course, they hadn't found out quite yet that it was their own cousins yet. "Mum is going to kill us if she finds out it was us you know." Said Mike.
"Yeah, I suppose we shouldn't make it too obvious that we did it." As soon as they came out of hiding, John grabbed them both.
"Using other people's wands for your dirty work again I see." The twins began struggling to get away, then spotted James and Lily, John obviously did too since he threw them both under his arms and went running after them. Soon enough he had caught them as well.
"LET US GO!" yelled both sets of twins. John rolled his eyes.
"There has got to be something about twins tat make them so hard to care for." he muttered and turned around. Janet smirked and crossed her arms, looking up at him.
"Big brother duties I see." John blushed and the twins rolled their eyes.
"Why don't you and your girlfriend go somewhere and snog and leave us out of this." Said Matt. John scowled down at his brother and looked back up at Janet.
"I have to get these two back to mum, save me a dance though." He asked. She looked at the four kids he was holding and nodded.
"Looking forward to it." John grinned and watched her watch off. He was about to walk off when another person came up to him.
"Professor McGonagall, hi." The old witch smiled and nodded down at Lily and James.
"These two. they look like students I had years ago." She said in a sort of strained voice. Matt and Mike looked at their cousins.
"Lily and James? No, they've still got two more years."
"Are they yours?" John, Mike, and Matt laughed.
"Nope, that's Uncle harry and Aunt Ginny's kids." Answered Mike brightly. McGonagall looked at the red head twins.
"And you two are?"
"In big trouble. These are my youngest brother, Mike and Matt. You'll see them a bit sooner than you want, professor." John informed. Soon, Ginny and Hermione came up and the twins knew what was about to happen. The good thing was, they struck up a conversation with the old professor about how much Lily and James reminded her of their Uncle Harry's parents.
