The Second Generation of Marauders

Chapter 2- Mistletoe in the Summer

Jesse Potter peeked out of his hiding spot behind the stairs. In his hands was a small green cloth bag with 3 W's embroidered on it. He brushed his shaggy black hair out of his hazel eyes and looked down the corridor at his best friend.

Holly Black saw Jesse looking at her and gave him a thumbs up signal. The coast was clear. Jesse opened the bag and took out a single sprig of mistletoe. He fished his wand out of his pocket, tapped the mistletoe twice, and said "Animasa." The mistletoe suddenly sprang to life and floated down the corridor and out of sight.

Holly and Jesse followed the mistletoe with their eyes and when it went out of sight, they quietly came out of their hiding places. They took one look at each other and burst into laughter.

"I can't wait to see who the Mischief Mistletoe gets," Holly said through peals of laughter. Jesse just kept laughing. They wouldn't be laughing for long.

"Hannah! Come on, hurry up!" Logan Lupin ran slower, waiting for his companion to catch up. He and Hannah Black were both holding their swim suits and towels and were heading towards the Potters' pool.

"Logan! God, it's not like we're in a hurry anyways. The others can wait as long as they want. I'm taking my good old time getting to the pool." Her ink black hair was tied back in a messy bun and she was wearing a midnight blue tank top and some jean shorts. She was walking slowly towards their destination, singing quietly under her breath.

Logan rolled his eyes and kept running towards the pool house. They both reached it a few minutes later. They both entered a changing stall and quickly changed into their swimsuits. Logan exited a few seconds later. He sighed. Girls took too long to change.

Hannah was inside the stall, thinking while she changed. She never wore a bikini, being the self conscious person that she is. But, Kate and Hermione had dared her to wear one, knowing of her long time crush on Logan. She had borrowed one from Kate; even she owned one and she was a really big tomboy.

After changing into it, and having some tying problems with the top, she stared at herself in the mirror. The bikini was really small, seeing as Kate was a size smaller than her. It revealed too much skin and made her chest look too big. Well, if this is what's gonna make Logan notice me, so be it, she thought while opening the door.

Logan ripped himself out of his thoughts when he heard the door open. There stood Hannah, wearing a black and silver bikini, her hair down and flowing past her mid-back. His eyes got big and he had to stop himself from looking at her chest. He had had the biggest crush on her since they were 11, and this image was not helping him get over her at all whatsoever. After a few seconds of staring, he finally found his voice.

"Let- Lets go down to the pool, shall we?" Hannah nodded silently, avoiding his eyes. They walked in silence the steps leading to the pool. There, their friends were all sitting down on the chairs by the small fireplace. Kate looked up when she noticed the two of them and smiled.

"Hey guys! You finally decided to show up, huh?" The others looked up from their conversation and greeted them both.

"We should get in the pool now that Hannah and Logan are here." That was just like Zach, always eager to do anything that involved water, just like his mother. The others all nodded in agreement and headed towards the edge of the pool.

Logan feeling mischievous all of the sudden, snuck­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ up behind Hannah and pushed her into the pool. She screamed as she touched the water. A few seconds later, her newly wet head popped out of the water.

"YOU ARE SO DEAD, LOGAN LUPIN!" She swam towards him and splashed him. He only stuck his tongue out at her and jumped into the pool. The rest of the boys took that gesture as a hint. Zach grabbed Kate around the waist and jumped into the pool with her. Ron picked Hermione up, swung her over his shoulder and jumped off the diving board. Harry carried Ginny to the slide, put her in front of him and they both slid down.

They splashed around for another hour, nothing exciting happening except for the occasional scream or shout. Then, out of nowhere, a whizzing sound was heard. The shouting and screaming stopped abruptly and 8 pairs of eyes looked around for the source of the sound. Not finding it, they all went back to their play.

The source of the noise, a small sprig of mistletoe, floated around above the kids' heads. It flew around the pool three times before coming to a stop just above the end of the diving board. Logan and Hannah were treading water at the deep end, looking for Hannah's lost earring. When the sprig of mistletoe came to a halt just above their heads, they both found themselves unable to move around.

"Ok, what's with the spell? Zach, I know u did this. Take this off charm now, or else." Hannah searched the pool with her eyes. She saw that Zach was actually over on the other side of the pool, tickling the heck out of Kate and Ginny. At that sight, she cocked her head in confusion and looked over at Logan.

Logan rolled his eyes and pointed his finger upwards. Above their heads was mistletoe. Hannah groaned as she remembered how to get rid of magical mistletoe. Great, she thought, now I have to kiss Logan.

Next to her, Logan was thinking the same thing. Kissing. Great, just great. This is just what I need to get over her, he thought sarcastically. He turned and faced her.

"You know how to get rid of it," he said. "Come on, let's just get this over with." Hannah just sighed and leaned over. The second their lips touched, they both felt a shock rush through their body. Leaping back with embarrassment, they both realized they could move again. Avoiding each other's eyes, Hannah and Logan both swam silently to opposite sides of the pool.

Hannah's face lit up with joy as she thought, I finally got my first kiss, while Logan groaned when he realized that getting over her was now nearly impossible.

Jesse looked out from where he was hiding behind a rock at Hannah and Logan. He saw their red faced and uncomfortable-ness after the kiss. Every time they touched each other, they would flinch and go red. Go evil mistletoe, he thought as he ran out of his hiding place to follow the whooshing sound of the flying plant. He smirked.

As he followed the mistletoe, Jesse saw that it had gone in a full circle around the yard and back to the swimming pool. There, the older kids were just getting out of the water and were walking back towards the house. Jesse hid behind the trees in the small woods between the pool and the house. He had a clear view of the path from there.

As the voices grew closer, Jesse hid behind one tree after another, getting closer to the sound. The mistletoe, he knew, was floating around the woods looking for its next victim.

Kate and Zach were the first ones that came into view. They were walking next to each other and were arguing. Jesse could only hear tidbits of their conversation, for they were talking softly so the others couldn't hear.

"Room…knocking…barging in…bed…," he heard Kate say.

"Sorry...mother…told me…dinner…," Zach whispered back.

Jesse ignored them as he saw Logan, Hannah, Ron and Hermione walk past his hiding spot. They seemed to be laughing at Ron's stupidity. He saw that Hermione was being more defensive of him whenever someone insulted Ron.

Jesse snickered. He knew of Hermione's long time crush on Ron. The things you could gather from listening at your sisters' doors with an Extendable Ear…

He knew that the mistletoe wouldn't choose them as its next victim. According to Fred and George, it chose people who were obviously in love and didn't know it. Like Hannah and Logan. Kate and Zach were best-guy-girl-friends who wanted something more, while Ron and Hermione were just teens with crushes.

Now who did he know who were in love, but too clueless to figure it out? Hah Hah, he thought. Harry and Ginny, perfect.

Harry and Ginny were laughing at each other's jokes as they walked down the wood path to the house. They were both still in their swimsuits and dripping wet. Harry was trying not to look at Ginny wearing a bikini, constantly reminding himself that she was his best friend's little sister. ­­­­­­­­­Ginny was also trying not to stare at Harry, trying to persuade herself that she was over him and would never like him again.

Jesse was giggling softly at the sight of the two teens struggling to not give away their thoughts. It was working. Ginny laughed loudly at a joke Harry said just as a blur whooshed by, stopping above their heads.

Suddenly they both couldn't move.

"What's going on?" Ginny looked around just as Hannah had when she was stuck. Harry glanced up at the sky and spotted the mistletoe.

"Look up. I think that's what's holding us. You know the rules of the mistletoe, one kiss and you're free." Harry gulped. Oh, great. Now I have to kiss Ginny. I'm killing whoever put this mistletoe up. I bet you it was Jesse. God, you are so going down, Jess, he thought.

Ginny closed her eyes, thinking that nothing could be worse than having to kiss your ex-crush. "Well, ok, lets just get this over with…" She and Harry leaned in and their lips brushed lightly. They both pulled apart abruptly, staring at each other.

Great, Ginny thought, just great. She tore her eyes away from Harry, turned and quickly ran down the path and away from her troubles.

"Ginny!" Harry called after her. He sighed and quickly ran after her.

Jesse snickered for the 10th time this afternoon. Yes, he thought, its working. He was still hidden behind the trees, laughing hysterically. He was thinking about how the vitims must be feeling right now and laughed harder. Listening at the door of your sisters' rooms was not even close to as much fun as this. But, suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. Startled, Jesse spun around to meet the intruder.

Holly was sitting behind a tree not far from Jesse's hiding place, thinking. How could she have been so stupid! She knew she had fallen for him a long time ago, so why was this so hard for her now? Maybe it's because he has a girlfriend for the first time… Her subconscious would not stop bugging her.

Jesse was her best friend, and will always be. Via was he best friend, too, just not in the same way as Jesse. They were like Kate and Zach, well in her case, that is. Best friends who want more. Like 'more' was ever going to happen. Jesse was going out with Tracey. He really liked her and could almost talk of nothing else. Yet, he didn't realize how much he was hurting Holly's feelings.

Holly was ripped from her thoughts as she heard a laughing sound from not far away. Jesse. She wiped away the tears she didn't realize were falling and walked towards the sound. There he was, watching Harry run after Ginny and laughing hysterically. She smiled a little, walking towards him. She set a hand on his shoulder. He jumped and spun around, meeting her eyes.

"Holly! God, you scared the shit out of me!" Jesse visibly relaxed when he saw the intruder was just his best friend. "So, see any mistletoe victims?"

Holly laughed. "Yeah, but only parents. I think I'm scarred for life after seeing my parents kiss like that. They should totally keep things around here g-rated."

"I know. God, guess what I saw. You're sister and Logan kissing. Ewww! Can you get any grosser than that?" Jesse shuddered.

Holly's eyes grew big. "You mean you saw Kylie kissing Logan!"

Jesse laughed. "No, you dodo head, not Kylie, Hannah!" Holly let out a sigh of relief.

"Good, because that would of also scarred me for life." Jesse just punched her side playfully. She just hit back.

Throughout this playful conversation and fight, they both forgot completely about the mistletoe. It was still floating around the woods, but just as it 'saw' (if it could see) Holly and Jesse, it dived and stopped on top of their heads.

Holly and Jesse stopped. They couldn't move away from where they were standing. Oh, great. The mistletoe got them now. Holly closed her eyes, breathing in and out.

"Great. I guess now we have to kiss." Jesse talked about it as if it was the worst thing in the world. Holly was surprised to find tears in her eyes when she heard his tone of voice. Why doesn't he want to kiss me?

"Ok" was all she said. They both leaned in and their lips touched, lingering a moment too long. They slowly pulled apart, not meeting each others' eyes. Holly wanted nothing more than for it to last longer, so she could kiss back. Jesse was just numb. Slowly, they walked towards the house, reassuring themselves nothing was wrong, and went back to joking around as if nothing had happened.

All of the victims of the mistletoe were thinking the same thing that night. Hannah was in one of the spare rooms, Logan in the living room playing Exploding Snap with Harry. Ginny was in one of the bathrooms crying her eyes out and thinking. Jesse and Holly were out trying to catch the mistletoe, but also trying not to become one of its victims again, in fear of embarrassment.

The only thing the six had in common that night was that the only thing on each of their minds was the kiss. And the dreaded thought that nothing would ever be the same between them and the other person again.

A/N: So, was the long wait worth it or not? Well, im sorry for the delay in updating. Midterms and all that other crap were keeping me from writing anything. Oh well, the second chapter of Rock and Roll Love will be up soon. Please Review!
