John smiled a bit as he watched his mother hum to herself happily and work on the treats she planned to send to the twins and Jordan in celebration of the twins making Gryffindor. It wasn't too much of a surprise since all Weasleys usually made it into Gryffindor, but since the twins were the youngest of their family and her "babies" she couldn't help but to over react just a tad. Alex entered the kitchen and smiled brightly. "So you got the letter from Jake and Jordan about the twins?" she asked cheerfully. Hermione turned to her daughter and smiled brightly.

"Of course. And since there was nothing about them switching places in the sorting or pulling pranks or falling into the lake." she stopped and laughed. "Well I'm just glad they gave their first day a good start." She said. She looked over her shoulder at her daughter and raised an eyebrow at her. "Where are you off to at this time of night dressed like a muggle?" she asked. Alex smiled innocently.

"Patrick and I are going to the mall." She piped. John gave his sister a look.

"You two spend a lot of time together. What about poor ickle TJ?" he asked. Alex rolled her eyes.

"I asked him if he wanted to go, but he and his brothers are going on some trip and won't be back for a few days." She answered. "He's always going off somewhere."

"Does he have a girlfriend?" asked their mother. Alex looked thoughtful for a second and shook her head.

"If he did, he would have at least told Patrick about it and he hasn't even understood why TJ is always going off with his brothers on their little trips." She informed. John looked at his sister and noticed she seemed annoyed by this.

"Well he is an auror now. He may just want to spend a lot of time with his family in case he doesn't return from a mission." Said the red head knowingly. Alex rolled her eyes and tossed her hair over her shoulder.

"Believe me, TJ does NOT think like that." She informed and grabbed her bag off the table. "I'll be back by dinner, mum!" she called and left. John turned to Hermione and gave her a look.

"What's on your mine, love?" she asked, her back still to him. John tilted his head to the side.

"C'mon mum. Can't you tell there's something going on between Alex and her friend, Patrick?" Hermione looked at her son and smiled.

"Well if there is, it isn't really any of our business. After all, if she's in love, this will be her first real relationship with a boy she knows she can trust. And being a girl, its hard to find someone like that."

"Ah, Mr. Weasley. and Mr. Weasley." Matt and Mike entered their Charms class the next morning panting. It was their first day and they had stayed up late the night before and woke up even later. The small teacher, Professor Flitwick was standing on top of a pile of books and was looking at the panting red heads along with the whole class- Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. A few girls giggled when the twins gave the grin that seemed to get them out of all kinds of trouble. "Good heavens, more Weasley and a set of twins at that. I doubt there will ever be a year where I will get a year off from your lot."

"Sorry we were born, professor, but our parents didn't expect us." Said Matt as he and Matt took their seats. The tiny professor just shook his head and went about with the first lesson of the year. Mike and Matt seemed to earn attention without even noticing. A girl from Hufflepuff would continue to look in their direction and smile. Mike looked at her and absently nudged Matt. "What?"

"That girl. ya know her name?" he asked. Matt looked at the girl and then tapped the end of his wand on the side of his head in thought.

"I think that Flitwick called her Hanna. Yeah that's right, Hanna Diggory."

"Diggory? Isn't that the old guy that gramps works with?" asked Mike. Matt looked at his brother in confusion then let out a laugh.

"Wow, old Mr. Diggory is still having babies! Who would of thought." he said and leaned forward toward Mike. "I heard his son, Cedric, was killed by Voldemort years back. Maybe he and his wife thought t hey could have another boy to take his place."

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense." Said Mike and looked at the girl out the corner of his eyes. She was really pretty.

"Well what have we got here?" Ron crossed his arms and looked expectantly at the group he was to be training. It was a nice day out and they all seemed to want to enjoy it instead of going about their training. Jessica was leaning against a tree with a book and Chris's head in her lap and John was lying in the grass between Patrick and Josh. TJ, Theodore, and Peter were playing card, and Sharon was reading a magazine. Alex looked from behind her dad and let out a laugh.

"My, My, daddy. It seems you haven't been working them hard enough after all." She said. Theodore looked from his game of Exploding Snap in shock.

"Mr. Weasley!" he said and the cards exploded. When the smoke cleared, TJ was giving Theo a look.

"Nice." He said and looked at Ron. "Hey Mr. Weasley. What's up?" he asked.

"The death toll will be with the progress we're making." He answered sarcastically and tossed folders to each of them.

"What are these?" asked Chris curiously.

"Files of all the death eaters there have been and the ones that got away. Some of them have grandkids." Answered Ron. Jessica raised her hand slightly. "Yeah?"

"There was a woman that was part veela in here. I heard that Voldemort was believed to be having a relationship with a woman that was part veela. I read it in a book." She informed.

"You read to much, Jess." Muttered Chris. Ron gave the boy a look and rolled his eyes. He could remember when those words were coming from his mouth, yet Hermione's obsession with reading always came in handy to them in the past.

"You're right, Jessica.. Which is why I'm bringing this up. I want you kids to pick a person to be assigned to." He said.

"What does that mean?" asked Sharon curiously. "Are we supposed to research them?"

"This isn't school, Sharon." Said Ron, and a wide grin crossed his face. "You kids are going to go undercover!"

"WHAT!?"

"YEAH. Flying lessons!" cheered Tim as he and the twins went running toward the field where they were to be taught how to fly a broomstick properly. Tim was very excited about the lesson, which proved he had not inherited that from Neville. The twins exchanged grins, having noticed this from stories they had heard from their parents and uncles.

"Pretty anxious aren't we?" piped Darrel. Tim grinned widely. Matt opened his mouth to say something, when someone came running past them and ran their shoulder into his.

"HEY!" he yelled and blinked when he noticed it was Brianna. She turned around and stopped, crossing her arms and smirking.

"Hey is for horses, Weasley." She said and turned back around, running off with her friends. Matt clenched his fists and growled in anger.

"Uh, Matt." began Mike and Tim nervously. Mike waved his hand in his twins' face.

"She's not gonna get away with this!" he yelled and ran after the girl. Darrel let out a sigh and shook his head in a knowing matter.

"I've seen this before, you guys." He informed.

"What does it mean then?" asked Tim curiously.

"Simple, Brianna and Matt like each other." Said Darrel. Mike snorted.

"Wow, that's something to tell mum." He said and walked off laughing and saying how Darrel was good at telling jokes.
