AN: Hey there! I finally got the next chapter typed up!!!!! Yeah for me!!! Now, this isn't like your normal Harry Potter fic, it's actually about their kids. To be exact, it's mostly about Ron and Hermione's daughter, Cassandra and her adventures starting with her first year at Hogwarts. Please tell me what ya'll think!!!! Should I keep this story going?

Disclaimers: Harry Potter and all related matters belong to JK Rowling, but the kids belong to me!

Rain pelted the small window of the attic; it's drumming ringing throughout the small room. Cassandra Weasley was staring out into the blurred image of the landscape surrounding her grandmother house, her part-kneazle ButterBall purring on her lap.

"At least you can come with me BB." Cassi muttered, burying her face in the soft fur.

She didn't hear the footsteps coming up the stairs, so she jumped when her oldest brother Arthur sat next to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. He grinned sheepishly and apologized. Cassi tried to smile back, but couldn't. Arthur pulled her into his arms and chuckled.

"Don't laugh Arthur, it's not funny!" Cass sighed, clutching the front of his shirt, then whispered frightened, "What if no one likes me Arty?"

Arthur kissed the top of her head and said there was no way she wouldn't be liked. While he let his statement sink in, he thought about what he had said. It was true; Cassandra was the one Weasley who got along with everybody. From the day she was born, no one could get angry with her, simply because she never gave them a reason to. Even William, who argued with everyone, never said a mean word to her. But students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry might mistake her kind-heartedness for conceit.

"Supper's ready!" Grandma Molly called from downstairs.

Arthur wiped his little sister's tears away then the two of them made their way downstairs to the dining room. Most of their uncles and their aunts were over with their families, except for Uncle Charlie, Uncle 'Gred' and Uncle 'Forge'. Which left Uncle Percy and Aunt Penelope and Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny really. Uncle Percy was holding his four-month-old son Gwydion as he talked with Ron and Penelope was talking with Hermione. Harry was talking with Grandma Molly, holding Aunt Ginny and lovingly rubbing her swollen stomach. Amy and Adam were immersed in a game of Chess, with Aaron and Elizabeth watching. Conan was talking with William in the living room. Well... Will was talking, and Conan was becoming paler with every word. Cass hurried over to her cousin and gave him a reassuring hug, even though she was just as nervous as he was to start at Hogwarts. They were both starting the next day and were hoping to be put in the same house.

"This looks amazing mum!" Harry grinned when Grandma Molly placed the food on the table and they had all sat down to eat.

For a few minutes, there was silence as everyone began their meal then they got as loud as usual. Cassi smiled softly and buttered her roll, bowing her head to hide her still red eyes. Conan was the only one who noticed and he gently squeezed her knee. They were the only ones who didn't talk during supper. After the dishes were done, everyone went to bed, knowing they had to get up early in order to catch the train from King's Cross in the morning.

"Mummy?" Cassi called as Hermione began to close the door of the room she was sharing with her sisters, "Can I have another hug? Please?"

Hermione quickly went to sit on the bed next to her daughter and gathered her in her arms. Cassi clung to her mother's shoulders and breathed in her scent. When Ron came in to say goodnight, she did the same for him.

"Goodnight Cass," He whispered, smoothing the back of her hair, "I love you."

Cass laid back down after the door closed, and listened to Amy and Elizabeth's soft breathing. BB jumped up and curled up at her side. Cass sighed and let herself fall asleep.

The next morning, it was utter chaos to get everyone ready to leave. Arthur, William, Conan and Cass made sure all their school things were put away, then went down to join the others for breakfast. Conan and Cass were forced to have something to eat. Since Amy, Adam, Aaron and Elizabeth weren't allowed to go to the train station, they were staying home with Grandma Molly, Uncle Percy, Aunt Penelope and Gwydion, there was a lot of hugs, kisses and tears before those who were leaving were on their way. Cass, who was beginning to shake, silently berated herself and entangled her fingers in BB's soft fur.

"Here we are!" Uncle Harry stated cheerfully, parking the car near the door.

They got some trolleys and headed towards the barrier between Platforms 9 and 10. Arthur and William went through first, casually leaning on the "wall". Hermione and Ginny went through next. Conan decided to run through it, and Cass thought it was a good idea and did so too. When she got through, she stood staring at the hundreds of people crowded around a magnificent, sleek train. She had never gone to see Arthur or Will off when they had gone in the years before, so it was the first time she had seen the train or the many students gathered to board it.

"Come on Cass, let's go honey," Ron laughed when he and Harry came through the barrier to see his daughter still standing there in awe.

Cass blushed slightly, and then followed the others to the train. It seemed to Cass that before she could even blink her trunk was on the train and she was being crushed in her mother's arms as she was saying goodbye. She gave everyone one final hug before following Conan to an empty compartment. Will and Arthur left to find their friends. Cass fought the tears that were welling in her eyes. Once she and Conan were alone, he held her for a few minutes as she gathered herself, then they sat down and settled for the long ride. Conan stared dreamily at the countryside while Cass stared unseeingly out the window. They both jumped when there was a knock at the open compartment door.

"Hi there! I'm Marlie Johansson. Do you guys mind sharing the compartment?" A tall, blue-eyed girl with short brown hair asked, plopping down next to Conan without waiting to hear an answer.

Conan glared at the girl, much to Cass's surprise. Conan didn't hate anyone!

"I'm Cassandra Weasley, and this is my cousin Conan Potter." Cass introduced them to Marlie, a small smile on her face.

Marlie grinned and shook her hand completely ignoring the glares from Conan. She launched into explaining that she was muggle born and had been completely blown away when she had gotten her letter from Hogwarts. Cass immediately liked her, but she noted with amusement that Conan's scowls kept deepening with nearly every word. After the witch with the trolley passed by, Conan excused himself, saying he wanted to explore, and left.

"I'm really sorry about Conan," Cass sighed, shaking her head, "He's not normally like this, you know."

"That's okay," Marlie dismissed with a wave of her hand, "I get that a lot. My brother says it's my annoying personality, but he's just jealous cause I got all the good looks in the family."

Cass laughed. She knew that she was going to be really good friends with Marlie. When Conan came back, Cass shot him a questioning look but didn't mention anything. She was explaining what Quidditch was to Marlie when there was another knock at the compartment door.

"Could I share with you please?" The young boy asked softly, his brown hair falling into his mysterious blue eyes, "The compartment I was in was getting crowded."

Cass smiled at him and motioned for him to sit down. The boy thanked her quietly.

"I'm Marlie." Marlie held out her hand, shrugging when the boy didn't take it, "That's Cass and this is Conan."

"My name's Wolf."

After introducing himself, Wolf folded his arms behind his head, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Marlie rolled her eyes and proceeded to start an argument with Conan. Cass watched amusedly for a little while, and then said she was going to change into her school robes. On the way back to the compartment, she noticed a group of menacing looking boys standing not far from the door.

"Excuse me, please." She murmured as she tried to squeeze past them.

She gasped when a hand grabbed her roughly by the arm and threw her against the wall. Cass cried out in pain and stared wide eyed at the boys surrounding her. They all had hate and evil in their expressions, but none more then the biggest boy who had hold of Cass's arm. His eyes were gray and his hair was cropped short.

"You've got the boy in there," his voice was like daggers to Cass's ears, "Scream in pain, and get him out here."

With those words said, the boy took Cass's wrist and twisted. Cass yelped and tried to pull away from him, but he twisted harder and she started to cry.

"Yell for Wolf," He goaded, "Yell for him."

Cass half screamed when she began to see stars from the pain, and crumpled to the ground when the boy suddenly let her go. She looked up to see Wolf in front of her, his fists raised. Conan was hurrying towards her, Marlie not far behind. She let Conan help her up and winced when Marlie examined her arm. But she never let her eyes leave Wolf and the other boy. The obvious hatred and loathing they had for each other set shivers down Cass's spine.

"Leave, Hunter." Wolf growled at the boy.

With a Vulgar movement, Hunter pushed his way pass them, making sure to knock Cass into the wall. Wolf was staring after them, his back to the others. Cass took a few steps towards him and placed the hand of her unhurt arm in his shoulder. He looked down at her and Cass saw the pain in his eyes before he carefully shielded it.

"How's your arm?" He asked softly, gently taking her arm in his hands and looking over her bruises.

"I'll be fine," Cass dismissed, and then whispered only loud enough for Wolf to hear, "Are you okay?"

He gave her a ghost of a smile and led the other back into the compartment. Wolf was quiet the rest of the train ride, but he stayed awake and watchful, jumping every time someone walked past the door. Conan and Marlie were too busy arguing to notice, but Cass did. Using the knapsack she had brought to hide it, Cass reached for Wolf's hand and held it reassuringly. Wolf surprised himself by not pulling away. He told himself it was because he felt responsible for what had happened with Hunter, and so felt a need to protect her.

When they arrived at Hogsmead train station, the four of them followed Hagrid, "'Ello there Cassie, Conan.", to the boats and sat together in a bout and stayed together in the entrance hall. They stood together while they listened to the sorting hat sing it's song, Cass biting her lip. When it was finished, the new students began to get sorted into the four houses.

Marlie was the first one of the group to be sorted. With her usual upbeat grin in place, Marlie skipped up to the stool and sat down. The hat was placed on her head for nearly a minute before it announced her to Gryffindor. Wolf was also sorted into Gryffindor and sat across from Marlie at the table, keeping an eye out for trouble.

"Potter, Conan"

Conan slowly made his way towards the sorting hat, ignoring the whispers his last name always produced. He sat tense for a good thirty seconds before the hat yelled out Gryffindor. With a large grin on his face, Conan went and sat with Marlie and Wolf, flashing Arthur and William, who were both in Gryffindor, a thumbs up.

Cass was beginning to get impatient, hating the fact that Weasley was so far down on the alphabet. She was getting restless, but immediately tensed when someone pushed past her to go up to the sorting hat. She recognized Hunter right away. When his eyes met hers, a shiver ran down her spine at the unabashed hatred in them. Cass looked away and ended up looking over at Gryffindor table. She saw Wolf give her a small nod and regained her courage. She turned back in time to see Hunter sorted into Slytherin.

Finally, it was Cass's turn. She walked slowly up to the stool, aware of the mutterings her name had caused. The Weasleys and the Potters were famous for their part in the Last War, but Cass thought it rubbish that her parents, aunts and uncles were famous for getting hurt and losing loved ones. Once she sat down, the Professor placed the hat on her head and a deep throated laugh sounded in her mind.

"Will I ever get rid of you Weasleys? Well, I know just where to put you then!" The sorting hat told Cass, then shouted to the hall, "Gryffindor!"

With a contented sigh, Cass took the hat off her head and walked proudly to the table. She sat next to Marlie and welcomed her hug. After the last student was sorted, the Headmistress McGonagall stood and held up her hands for silence.

"Welcome new and old students. This year promises to be a good one with so many bright faces. But enough talk for now, eat and rest!" With that said, the empty plates on the tables filled with food.

Marlie's eyes widened and she sat staring open-mouthed at the amount of food surrounding her. Cassi and Conan were used to large amounts of food, having Molly Weasley for a grandmother. Marlie snapped out of her reverie and began to pile food on her plate. Wolf ate slowly, his eyes staring unseeingly at his platter. He was thinking of what had happened on the train. He hated Hunter even more now.

"Slow down, Marlie," Conan's voice broke through Wolf's dark thoughts, "You're gonna choke."

Marlie swallowed and then smiled sheepishly at Conan, who was shaking his head.

"Sorry, I guess I'm not used to a lot of food." Marlie muttered, putting her fork down.

"Conan was silent for a second, then handed Marlie a sweet roll, saying that it was almost as good as his grandmother's. Wolf smiled at the way Conan had come to the rescue. He caught Cassie's gaze and chuckled quietly as she rolled her eyes. After the feast and the usual speech of what was allowed and not allowed, everyone was dismissed and sent to their dorms. Marlie and Wolf were introduced to Arthur and William, and Cass was embarrassed when both her brothers sent Wolf a warning when he took Cass's hand to check her arm. Which, of course, led to the story of what happened on the train.

"Stay out away from this guy Cass," William ordered needlessly, ruffling Cass's hair.

Cass stuck her tongue out at him, then gave each her brothers, Conan and Wolf a hug, before she and Marlie went up to the first years girl dormitories. They each slowly got ready for bed and snuggled deep into their beds. Both were asleep before they had the chance to say goodnight to the other.
