Windowseat Wonderer- Thanks!

Isis Stormwing- JK Rowling name her characters very, very well. Most of her characters fit with their names. : ) I'll try to elaborate on everyone's appearance. Percy, Arthur's brother is nothing like Percy, Arthur's son. He's more like Charlie, working with dragons and all. : )

Fyre Pixie- This chapter is a bit happier. : ) Harry was the youngest seeker in a century. James was a beater or a chaser. I think Dumbledore might've been the youngest seeker before Harry because he's certainly old enough to be. : )

harrypotter4ever- Thanks : )

HyperCaz- Arthur only got Acceptable in that one class. You should notice that the group is pretty smart. Frank and Alice definitely are. Kingsley's headboy, so he is. Emmeline is just like another Hermione version. They will all become very important characters in this story, as well as they were in JK's stories. : )

Cinderella1- The sequel to the Little Potter will be out after this story.

Mandy of the Amoeba- Very good question! I'll leave that up to you to guess though. : )

Chipper1- The Dark Part gets even Darker. Lol, but that won't happen until after they graduate. I did some calculations and I've figured out what age Molly and Arthur had their kids and then I lost the paper and now I have to do it all over again! Sigh.

Captain 'Phoenix' Aquamarine- The Longbottoms suffer a lot. : ( There's also something that is revealed about Neville that I'm writing later, and I think fits nicely in the real series.

Chapter 9- Valentine's Day

February dawned upon them and every student was given an extra load of homework, and two extra loads to those in N.E.W.T standard classes. Every night, Kingsley, Arthur, Alice, Molly, Moody, and Emmeline sat in the Gryffindor common room, with books piled in stacks around them and papers everywhere, working silently until darkness fell late into the night. Emmeline's long, dark hair often fell into Kingsley's book and he became very irritated, having to blow away her hair every now and then. However, when Emmeline moved to a different spot, he got up and followed her too.

It wasn't until the Great Hall had been decorated with little pink hearts floating around, making music until Arthur realized that Valentine's Day was approaching.

Kingsley and Arthur walked up the stairs to Divination, talking about the upcoming holiday.

"I've got to give Molly something special," said Arthur.

"I'm debating on whether or not I should give Emmeline something. I mean, she's not exactly giving off signs that she likes me, but…" Kingsley's eyebrows furrowed, deep in thought.

There was a slight diversion as a pop was heard down below.

Arthur and Kingsley looked down to the previous floor and saw a greasy haired first year covered in chicken feathers and shaking his fist at someone on the third floor. Not far from Arthur and Kingsley were two dark haired boys named Sirius and James. James smirked and then ran off with Sirius to class.

Arthur and Kingsley had just entered Divination when Arthur was struck with the perfect Valentine's day idea. Molly and Alice and Emmeline were already there, talking to one another but stopped abruptly when Arthur and Kingsley entered the room. This all together gave Arthur and Kingsley good suspicion that the conversation had been about them.

"Good morning, Gryffindors!" a chipper voice announced and stood in front of the class.

"Hello, Professor Grumby," answered the class listlessly.

Professor Grumby, although very nice, was also very scatterbrained and how in the world she got hired as a Divination teacher was anyone's guess.

"Today we are going to study our futures, our near futures as we are all graduating this year." Professor Grumby said cheerfully before knocking over an orb when she turned.

"Oops!" she said and waved her wand to repair the orb.

"Now, break off into nice little pairs and we will start." Professor Grumby said.

Molly came over and sat next to Arthur, smiling. Arthur leaned over and gave her a kiss.

Moody paired up with Kingsley and Emmeline with Alice.

"Clear your minds and think…think deeply…" Professor Grumby said, taking a deep breath.

"How are we supposed to clear our minds and think deeply at the same time?" Arthur asked Molly, who was giggling.

"Okay…" Professor Grumby said after inhaling several breathes of air. She looked around at the blank faced students. "Er…what was I saying again?"

"Determining our futures," said Marigold Patil, a little irritated. She turned over to Azure and they doubled up in silent laughs.

"Oh, right." said Professor Grumby absentmindedly. "Now face your partner, read over section fourteen in your books and then try to tell them something about their futures…" Professor Grumby trailed off as she bent over to pick up another broken orb.

Arthur and Molly skimmed through the text and then Arthur turned to Molly who tried very hard to clear her mind and think deeply at the same time.

"Ah, I can see your future now," said Arthur, acting very serious. "You will marry a red-haired man, and have lots of children…"

"Arthur!" said Molly, laughing.

"Are we telling each other fortunes, my dears?" asked Professor Grumby smiling.

"Oh yes," said Arthur and Molly quickly.

"What else do you see?" asked Molly, smiling and leaning closer to Arthur.

"The red-haired man will get a kiss…"

And that was exactly what the future brought.

"Okay, now do me." said Arthur happily.

"Alright," said Molly flipping through the pages of the book. "Um, I have to look at your eyes and see that you are completely relaxed." She looked into Arthur's eyes and then peered curiously at Arthur's freckles.

"Okay, well I predict," Molly cleared her throat. "That someone cute with red hair and freckles will remember a certain holiday that's coming up."

Arthur smiled.

Beside them, Kingsley and Moody were trying to look within each other's minds.

Kingsley peered at Moody's forehead. "You have a zit."

"You git," said Moody, flipping through the pages. "Hmm, let's see. Headboy, egotistic, dry humored and weird looking…probably means your future will include you being a window washer or some kind of clown…"

Kingsley threw his book at Moody.

Molly and Arthur, after a few attempts to tell each other's future, turned their books away and started having a kissing festival.

Professor Grumby was too busy eating to notice.

Suddenly, the door opened quietly and in stepped a familiar seventeen year old.

"Frank!" said Alice, looking up, her eyes sparkling.

Frank looked serious and his eyes lacked the mischievous look, but he smiled at Alice and went over to give her a hug.

Moody, Arthur, Molly, Emmeline and Kingsley approached Frank cautiously.

"Er…you alright, mate?" Arthur asked.

"Yeah, I'm good." Frank answered unconvincingly.

"I'm sorry, Frank," Molly said softly.

"It's fine…" Frank said awkwardly. He then looked at them. "I'm going to track down who did it."

"Frank!" Alice said, her lips trembling.


"I'm going to." Frank said seriously. "If I ever find anyone linked to this…"

He fell silent.

"You're not alone," Kingsley spoke up. "I'm going to seek vengeance with you."

"I just miss him," Frank said reaching for his book. He looked at them again. "My dad saved all those lives and who is there to save him when he's in trouble? No one."

"Frank…" Alice said hopelessly.

"I'm going to kill him!" Frank said and slammed his fist on his desk, making his inkbottle fall to the ground and break with a shatter.

"Mr. Longbottom? What is it?" Professor Grumby asked, looking up from helping Marigold.

"Nothing, professor," Frank muttered. He pointed his wand at the mess, "Reparo."

* *

No one spoke much about Mr. Longbottom's death in the presence of Frank, but when Frank was out of earshot, they talked about it in hushed whispers, naming possible suspects and if the murders would seek to kill anyone else soon.

"I bet it's Malfoy's dad," Kingsley said angrily, moving one of his chessmen over to taken Arthur's knight.

"Malfoy might come from an arrogant family, but I don't think they would kill anyone," Molly said tentatively.

"Oho!" Kingsley said in response. "I bet they will!"

"It's not fair," said Alice. "Why Mr. Longbottom? And it's not fair to Frank."

Molly sat close to Arthur, their hands held together and each were silently listening to the others, but thought to themselves, 'It could've been me. It could've easily been me'.

Valentine's Day arrived quickly and Arthur Weasley got up earlier than usual. Kingsley was surprised he didn't have to poke Arthur with his wand over and over again for his red haired friend to wake up. When Kingsley rolled out of bed and put on his socks, Arthur was already gone.

In fact, no one knew where Arthur went and they ambled down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

Molly took a bowl of porridge and looked around, not spotting red hair anywhere.

Suddenly, a voice close to the staff table shouted, "Wingardium Leviosa!"

A familiar little airplane built from a Muggle kit rose to the air and little puffs of smoke escaped from it's tail.

The plane looped around and around puffs of smoke slowly spelled out words in the air,

I love Molly Hattingfield more than all the Muggle device in the wor

The plane's engine stalled once, twice, and then fell to the ground where it shattered.

The Great Hall stared and then everyone laughed humorously.

Arthur Weasley's ears got red as he looked at the airplane with disbelief.

"I can't believe it broke," Arthur mumbled to himself.

"Mr. Weasley!" Professor McGonagall got up and sternly walked over to Arthur. "How could you use magic outside of the classroom? It is strictly not allowed!" She gave him a look. "Go on, hut hut!" she pointed to the Gryffindor table. "Don't use magic in the Great Hall again!"

Arthur dragged himself back to the Gryffindor table, completely in shock. His plan----his perfect Valentine's day plan---- for Molly was ruined. He wanted to write out his love for Molly in front of the whole school, present her with flowers and have her fall madly in his arms, gazing into his eyes and tell him she loved him too. But instead, that stupid plane broke and it didn't even finish writing all he wanted it to write.

Kingsley was rolling on the floor laughing, gasping for breath.

Arthur gave him a dull look.

"Arthur!" Molly said, she looked speechless.

Arthur pretended to be very absorbed in his plate.

"Oh Arthur!" Molly said, flinging her arms around him. She gave him a bright smile. "That was wonderful, how you charmed the plane to write words and, oh Arthur!"

She kissed him, right in front of everyone and Arthur even picked her up, swinging her around. The Gryffindor table applauded and Kingsley, although still laughing, gave a whistle.

"DETENTION!" Professor Wortham said furiously.

Arthur and Molly broke apart, surprised.

"You cannot display public affection so predominately!" Professor Wortham said, her hat lopsided.

Arthur looked at her for a moment, and then said, "Oh, who cares?" He turned to Molly, "I love you, Molly."

"I love you, too Arthur!" Molly answered, smiling.
