Jessica and John sat on the ground watching as Chris dueled with Ron. The friends had made up, but Chris didn't reveal how he really felt about Jessica. John cringed as Chris went flying through the air and hit the ground. "Man Mr. Weasley, do you gotta be so rough!?" he asked as he managed to get himself onto his knees. Ron put his wand in his pocket and raised an eyebrow at the boy. Joshua smirked and looked at Chris as his dad walked by muttering something under his breath.

"Tell me Chris, if a death eater attacks you, do you think he will go easy on you?" he asked.

"You never know. It could be a girl death eater and she could fall for me and take me as he man slave."

"Don't be stupid Chris. This isn't one of your sick child-like fantasies." Said Jessica. Ron and Harry looked at Chris and Jessica in confusion when Chris gave a perverted response.

"Most of my fantasies actually involve you as my love slave, Jess. Yeah, and you're wearing one of those belly dancer get ups and."

"Excuse me!" Dean was standing not too far behind Harry and Ron, glaring at the boy. Chris grinned innocently and blushed.

"Just kidding, Mr. Thomas." He informed. 'Jessica and I joke around like that." Alex snorted and Ron gave her a look.

"C'mon dad, we don't have too be too serious all the time. I mean, uncle Fred and George told us all kinds of stories when we were younger about how the students managed to fight off those death eaters when they stormed Hogwarts. He told us that you were being extremely immature and you managed to take out the most."

"And we don't have any more maturity than when we were first years, so think of how many death eaters as you probably.' Piped Chris.

"Things have changed, you guys." Said Harry. They all sighed. Jessica looked at her watch.

"The twins should have been through the sorting and probably the feast by now. Shouldn't they owl you and tell you what house they were sorted in and everything?"

"Well they are Weasleys. It shouldn't be much of a shock on what house they'll be in." Said John. Jessica raised an eyebrow at him.

"Yeah, well I thought the hat had doubts about you?" she asked. John shrugged.

"I'm a man of many wonders." He said. Jessica rolled her eyes and Chris let out a laugh. "What?"

"Nothin'." Answered both Jessica and Chris.

Tim and Darrel looked at the twins in complete shock as the two red heads shoveled the food into their mouths and stuffed treats into their pockets. Darrel looked at Tim and looked at the twins before clearing his throat. "What?" asked both red heads. Darrel just grinned.

"Maybe you two should slow down and take a breather. The food won't be going anywhere any time soon." He informed.

"He's right you two. Besides, we have feast like this every day for breakfast, lunch AND dinner." Informed Jordan causally. The twins exchanged looks and began pulling snack from their pockets.

"So, we can count on seeing these tomorrow at lunch?" asked Mike, looking at his older brother expectantly. Jordan nodded.

"Yep. But you might want to keep those in case you get hungry again later tonight because they don't tolerate wandering in the middle of the night around here." He informed.

"Take it from some one who has learned from personal experience." Laughed Jackie. Jake snored and gave his cousin an innocent grin. Jake leaned across the table to grab some snacks from Matt's plate, when Nearly Headless Nick popped up. The twins, Darrel, Tim and a few other first years hat were near by jumped out of their seats.

"Hello there. I see we have more Weasleys!" he said brightly, looking in the twins' direction and coming up fully from under the table.

"Oh wow, a ghost." Said Brianna, leaning forward on the table. "And your name is nearly Headless Nick?" The ghost opened his mouth to say something, but Jake cut him off.

"Wouldn't you love to see how he got his name?" asked the red head anxiously. Brianna tilted her head to the side.

"Well I have an idea. but it can't be right." She said. Matt nodded and leaned against the table as well, looking at the ghost and great curiosity.

"Are you really NEARLY headless?" he asked. Mike leaned against the table along with the rest of the curious first years. Jackie let out a sigh and closed her eyes as Jake and Jordan grinned widely.

"Every year its the same thing." she and the ghost muttered at the same time as the ghost pulled up his head and let it hand by only the flap of skin left.

"No way."

Joshua and Harry entered the house later that night, both filthy from their training. They of course didn't expect to have guest over. When they entered the kitchen, women were sitting all around the kitchen chatting. The of course stopped when the two men entered. Sara got up from her seat and grinned innocently. "Daddy, Josh! I didn't know you two were going to be home so early today. The twins sent a letter here." She said innocently, handing the letter to her brother. Josh took it, but continued to stare at the girls in the room.

"Where are Lily and James at?" asked Harry curiously. As he took the letter from his son and read it.

"Out playing Quidditch." Answered Sara. "So. are you guys gonna stay around? We're trying to plan out what the women are going to wear for the wedding."

"We're leaving. Don't wanna be around when mum bites your head for going on and planning the wedding colors with out her." Answered Joshua, leaving the kitchen. Harry followed his son out.

"Look at this. Matt and Mikey made it into Gryffindor after all." He said. "And even got to meat the infamous Nearly Headless Nick," he said with a laugh.
