The Next Generation-Dark Marks and Troublemakers

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.

Disclaimer: I don't own HP of its characters, but I do own all the original characters that aren't from the books, but from my imagination. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Chapter 43

Ron groaned and let out a yelp when a special potion was poured on his wounds. The medi-witch smacked his arm and looked at him seriously. "Quick squirming!" she said sternly. Ron huffed and glared at her, muttering under his breath. Hermione laughed and went on with helping attend to the others. Sirius was amoung the group and he had three witches trying to hold him down.

"Let me go!" he yelled. There was a pop and Remus entered the room. He looked at Sirius and rolled his eyes.

"Padfoot, quit acting like a baby." he said and looked at the others. "We had a little incident at Hogwarts. Thankfully the teachers were prepared and we managed to fight off the deatheaters that were there."

"DEATHEATERS!" announced the women all at once. Sirius instantly stopped squirming.

"The kids were sent their for safety!" he announced. Remus chuckled and opened the door, all the kids flooding into the wing and running to their parents.

"Yes, and they were a lot of helping, getting their classmates to safety." he said brightly. Sirius ran his fingers through his hair and shook his head, smiling in relief.

"Amazing. These kids come out with something new every day." he said as Lily and James went and hugged Harry and Ginny happily. Remus laughed and nodded. The room was full of family and very close friends at the moment.

"You got to fight off deatheaters dad?" asked Kevin as he and Jackie sat on Fred's lap. Fred grinned and nodded, ruffling his son's hair.

"That's right, Mate. And I took out over a dozen." he said. Angelina laughed when he son's eyes lit up.

"Wicked." said both Jackie and Kevin at the same time.

"Five more minutes." said John, checking his watch as he and his old Hogwarts friends stood at Kings Cross waiting for the train to arrive. Jessica was leaning against the wall and waiting with Chris at her side, bouncing a small ball. They had gotten a pretty close relationship considering all the life threatening situations they had been through. Janet was standing next to John, her hands in her pockets and waiting patiently.

"I don't remember the train ever taking this long before." muttered Chris and Jessica shook her head.

"That's because we're usually on it or late." she informed. Chris looked at her and grinned.

"You're really pretty, you know that?" he asked. They all turned and looked at him confusion. Jessica was blushing and Chris had stopped bouncig the ball and was looking at her with a bright smile and shinning eyes. She laughed and shook her head.

"Chris, you're a prat." she informed. Chris laughed and nodded.

"Yeah. I figured that much... But i'm your prat."

"That you are love." said Jessica and kissed him quickly. Chris smiled and took her hand, placing something in her hand.

"I want you to have this." he said.

"A ball, Chris?" asked John, raising an eyebrow at his friend. Janet snorted and Jessica rolled her eyes. She opened her hands and noticed it wasn't a ball he put in her hands.

"A ring Chris?" she asked and looked at him.

"Yeah..." he answered, blushing deeply. Janet gasped and threw her hands over her mouth. That was all that needed to be said before John slapped his friend on the back in congradulations...

"I love weddings." piped George and he and Fred slapped Dean on the back. "Congrats mate!" they said in unison. Dean groaned and gulped down his drink at once, shaking his head and Parvati and Lavendar went running around, making sure everything was ok and bragging, of course. There were Weasleys every where, so of course everything was going by fine- entertainment being the kids.

"Hey Dean. Hey Seamus." said Harry, walking up to his two old school mates. They smiled and nodded. "Its nice to see kids married, isn't it?" asked Harry, just last year having had Sara get married.

"Yeah, they couldn't have found anyone better." said Seamus and Dean nodded in agreement. Harry smiled at them and nodded before sipping his champagne.

"Time for the bouquet!" called Parvati excitedly. Almost instantly, everyone of the women went rushing. Fred was laughing loudly when one woman fell and Angelina slapped his shoulder. George was slapped upside the head when he got a picture of it.

"Did I say i loved weddings?" he asked and Alicia rolled her eyes. John was smiling as he stood with Janet at his side, her being one of the few that had not rushed for the flower tossing.

"Its such an odd muggle tradition." he said. "I don't wanna do it at our wedding." Janet looked at his with a raised eyebrow.

"Our wedding?" she asked and laughed. "How are you so sure we're getting married?" she asked. John grinned and nodded up.

"Heads up love." he said and Janet blinked. She turned and instantly caught the flowers in her arms. A few women seemed to be upset about this, but Chris grinned and gave John a thumbs up. He laughed and grinned even wider. "That's how I know." he informed and kissed her.

John Weasley and Janet Longbottom were married less than a year later, but that doesn't mean the adventure is over...
