The twins sat silently as they watched Janet sit on John's back and give him a massage. Alex was sitting behind Patrick doing the same, but sitting up. They had just came home from the auror training and were sore from head to toe. Ron and Harry were doing some last minute things, so it was just them, the twins, and Jordan. "Feeling any better?" asked Janet, leaning forward and whispering it in John's ear. He nodded.

"Now that you're here." Jordan looked over his magazine and gagged.

"You full of it, John." He informed. "I have officially disowned you and I'm sure mum and dad will too once they hear the load of bull coming out of your mouth." John glared at his younger brother and Janet giggled. She climbed off her boyfriend's back and sat on the armrest of Jordan's chair.

"So, are you telling me a cute little boy like you doesn't have a girlfriend?" she asked.

"What would I need a girlfriend for? All you do is giggle and beg to be taken out shopping." The young red head informed.

"That's not true." Snapped Alex.

"Well what DO you do when you go out with boyfriends?" asked Mike, leaning forward curiously.

"Probably make out under the star filled sky." Said Matt and the twins began laughing, slapping each other high fives triumphantly at the fact they managed to get both John and Alex to blush.

"Shut up you two." Snapped Alex. Jordan was falling out of his chair from laughing too hard. Tears were coming from his eyes and he slapped both his younger brothers' high fives.

"Brilliant you two." he said. "Bloody brilliant."

"Watch your mouth, Jordan." They looked up and Hermione had appeared in the house with some shopping bags. The twins instantly began helping her carry her carry the bags, but that was so they could also see what she had bought.

"Afternoon, Mrs. Weasley." Greeted Janet and Patrick. Hermione looked up from her mail and smiled at them.

"Good afternoon Patrick. Janet." She answered brightly. "I'm about to serve some ice cream. If you want some."

"YEAH!" cheered Patrick before she could finish. Alex blushed in embarrassment. Hermione laughed and they followed her into the kitchen.

"So, where's your father at?" she asked as she took the bag of cookies out of Jordan's hands from over top of his head. "He should be home for lunch by now."

"Dad's doing over time." Informed Matt. He pulled his bowl of ice cream toward s him and licked his lips.

"So he'll be missing lunch?" asked Hermione and her son shrugged.

"I guess." Hermione let out a sigh and shook her head.

"I remember the times when your father would never miss a meal." She informed. She shook her head knowingly, then looked at her two youngest. "And Hogwarts is going to have to go through a lot with you two. The pranks and the fact that when you get sick, you REALLY get sick is really going to drive them mad." The twins grinned.

"We can't help that our immune systems aren't too good." Said Mike.

"I blame myself for that." Said Hermione as she continued to go through the mail. Suddenly three owls came flying in, each dropping a letter in Jordan, Matt, and Mike's laps and flying back out again.

"What are those?" asked Janet curiously.

"HOGWARTS LETTERS!" cheered the twins excitedly. Alex heard Hermione let out a sigh. Even though the twins could be very annoying, John and Alex knew that this way the day their mother was dreading. The day the twins would be called away from home. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Jackie!" called Angelina from the bottom of the staircase. "You've got mail!" her daughter came rushing down the stairs followed by Kevin, who jumped in front of her and made a grab for the letter, which his mom held out of reach. "I said Jackie, not Kevin."

"But it'll be another two years before I get to see a Hogwarts letter of my own. so why can't I see hers?"

"Because the second years letter is different from the first year. There are less things on these than those." Kevin frowned.

"I still want to see it." He muttered. Angelina smiled and placed her hand on her son's head.

"In a bit of a rush to grow up aren't we?" she asked. Kevin grinned innocently up at his mother.

"Not really." He answered and continued on his way. Angelina looked at her daughter.

"What's up?"

"I just noticed they've sent the letters a bit early this year. didn't they?" Angelina shrugged.

"There's a lot going on with all the dark marks and all." She went on her way into the kitchen with Jackie close behind.

"Do you really think Voldemort has a son?" Angelina raised an eyebrow at her daughter.

"Who told you that?"

"Daddy. He found out from some people uncle Ron works with." Answered Jackie. "They said that the kid should probably be around Matt and Mike's age right now."

"How did they find out tall this information?"

"Inside information I suppose."

"Who do you honestly think would do that?" asked Angelina, curious to know how clever her daughter really was.

"Well, Uncle Ron and Harry were ranting about that Malfoy guy being missing. How much you wanna bet they got him to play the role?"
