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.

Once they got on the train, the twins quickly broke away from their brother and cousins to go find themselves a compartment. Matt pushed open the door to one compartment where a black boy was sitting. He looked up and grinned. "Hey there." He said. The twins looked at him and then exchanged looks.

"Hey." They answered. He moved his bag onto the floor so they could sit.

"My name is Darrel Jordan." He said brightly.

"Matt and Mike Weasley." Said the twins in unison. They looked at each other and grinned. Darrel laughed.

"You're Weasleys huh? My dad was a best friend with Weasley twins. Lee Jordan, you ever hear of him?" he asked. The twins nodded.

"Yeah, he does all those Quidditch match commentaries. I bet you've met plenty of Quidditch players." Said Matt brightly as he and Mike began to get comfortable. Darnel nodded.

"I usually go with my older brother Jamal to watch the matches during the summer. Too bad the Cannons vs. the Wasps was canceled. That would have been the most interesting!" said Darrel with the twins' agreement. As they talked, the compartment door opened and a girl came in. She looked at the boys and looked out into the hall.

"I guess this will have to do." The girl sat down and flipped her hair over her shoulder before extending a hand to Matt. "Hey there, my name is Crystal Minton." The Hispanic girl informed. Matt shook her hand and so did Darrel and Mike. She smiled and looked at them expectantly.

"So I assume you're a first year." Said Mike. Crystal rolled her eyes.

"A lot of us are. So, are you guys all purebloods?" she asked. Darrel nodded but the twins shook their heads.

"We're half and half." Said Matt. Crystal looked at the twins curiously, causing Matt to shift in his seat.

"You look familiar. Is your mom muggle, or your dad?" She asked.

"Our mom is muggle born." Answered Mike. "Our dad is Ron Weasley." Crystal's eyes looked up as she looked at the twins.

"NO WAY! Your dad is an auror! I saw him in the Daily Prophet last week with Harry Potter." She announced. The twins grinned proudly.

"Harry's our Uncle." Informed Mat. Crystal grinned at them.

"Too cool." Said both her and Darrel. Crystal looked at him and smiled shyly.

"Well I'm looking forward to spending a year with you guys." She said and stood up.

"Where are you going?" asked Darrel. Crystal looked back at him.

"To find some girls to talk to." She answered.

"We're here!" cheered Mike as he, Matt, and Darrel jumped off the train and looked around excitedly. They looked around and got ready to run off when someone grabbed the twins by the back of their robes.

"There you are!" they looked up to see Jackie, Jake, and Jordan standing there, Jackie holding them by the back of their robes. "I promised Aunt Hermione I would watch after you twerps, so let me tell you, don't play any games during the sorting."

"The sorting? What's that?" asked Mike.

"How they find out what house you belong in." answered Jordan. "Now don't go switching identities alright. You may just end up in Slytherin that way." He informed, giving his younger brother's serious looks.

"What do we have to do exactly? To end up in the right house?" asked Matt. Jordan and Jake exchanged looks and looked at the twins.

"You'll have to just wait and see." Answered Jake and they walked off. Matt frowned and Mike bit his lower lip.

"You think they're lying?" He asked. Matt shrugged as they made their way toward the boat Darrel was sitting in, waiting for them.

"Who were they?"

"Older brother and cousins." Answered Matt.

"They were telling you about the sorting weren't they?" asked Darrel and the twins nodded. He smiled reassuringly at them. "Don't worry, its nothing bad according to my mom. All painless and monsterless." He piped.
