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.

The twins shared a room due to the fact that Hermione figured if they had their own rooms, it would be easier for them to stash all their pranks and mostly because it doubled the cleaning if they were in separate rooms. Since the twins were too hard to yell at together, Ron had to talk to Mike and Hermione had Matt to yell at tonight. She opened the room to the twins' room then dragged Matt up by the arm to his room and let him go, making him sit on his bed. "You sit here until I come back." She ordered, then looked around his room. "And don't touch a thing unless you're changing." She said and he nodded quietly. Ron decided he suddenly wasn't in the mood to discipline, leaving her to do the yelling. She had already finished with Mike before making him sit on the couch and going back up to the twins' room, which was the fourth floor of the house. When she opened the door, the boy was sitting on the edge of his bed with his legs crossed and looking down. He had obviously changed a while ago since it looked as if he hadn't moved for a while. He looked up at her for a second then looked back down at his hands clenched in his lap.
"I'm awful sorry mum."
"Don't give me that Matthew." Hermione snapped. She began pacing around the room. "Honestly, your father and I have dealt with the fact that you two cause more trouble than even your uncles have and you've gotten away with it enough, but you're older now!" she yelled. "Do you think they'll let you get away with this at Hogwarts?"
"I guess-"
"Don't interrupt!" Hermione snapped. The boy looked down and bit his lower lip. "Of course they won't let you get away with it! You can get expelled. Do you want that?" she asked. The boy sat quietly and said nothing. "Matthew, answer me!" she snapped.
"No. but if."
"There aren't any what ifs in this situation Matthew." Snapped Hermione. "They don't accept pranksters and troublemakers because it's a waste of their time."
"But they accepted.."
"Don't speak while I'm talking Matthew. Don't say a word!" The boy went silent and lowered his head. "What possessed you to do that? And then after being caught guilty you decide to lie!" She continued to yell at the silent red head and then turned to him. "What made you think you could lie to me?" she asked. The boy said nothing. "Matthew, answer me!" Hermione yelled in complete annoyance and anger.
"Mum, you're confusing me. Do you want me to talk or not?" the boy asked, looking up at her with tears shinning in his eyes. She sighed and dropped in a chair across from him.
"Come here, love." She said and the boy whipped his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt and came up to her. She pulled him into her arms and hugged him, causing him to climb into her lap much like when he and Mike were younger.
"I'm sorry mum." He said quietly, his head leaning on her shoulder. She smiled, running her fingers through his red hair. Unlike when Jordan and John were his age, he was smaller and seemed to fit perfectly in his mother's lap. The room door opened and Mike entered.
"Mum." he began, looking at her sadly and holding up his book bag full of the twins usual pranks. She sighed.
"Come here, Michael." She said and he obeyed, climbing into her lap as well. "You two know I love you, right?" she asked. They both nodded silently.
"Alex said that she'd be surprised if we get accepted to Hogwarts and she called us demons." said Mike.
"Do you think we'll be accepted to Hogwarts?" asked Matt; the twins looked up at her with innocence shinning in their brown eyes. Hermione smiled at them.
"Of course boys. They accepted Fred and George and they caused just as much trouble as you two." She said, pushing hair out of Matt's face. "They even allowed Voldemort in and we all knew what he did." She informed.
"We're no way as bad as that." Said Mike. "Are we mum?"
"Of course not." She answered with a bit of a laugh. "You two. honestly, I don't know what I'm going to do with you." They grinned up at her.
"We're one of a kind mum." Informed Mike. She rolled her eyes.
"And what made you two think you could lie to me?" she asked with a strict voice.
"Lying builds character mum." Answered Matt as a matter-of-factly. She smiled and the boys climbed out of her lap and she stood up.
"Well you had better find a new way to build character." She ordered and they nodded. "Now, get to bed, and maybe I'll consider taking you off punishment earlier." She said and their mouths dropped.
"That means no more dung bombs, right?" Asked Mike.
"And TV." Answered Hermione with a small smile.
