Out of the story: I realized that not many know the whole family history thing, thanks MarisAlexia for telling me, so here was an unexpected bonus chapter to my story The Next Generation. So instead of having 12 chapters like planned, TNG will now have 13 chapters.

The days had been passing slowly by. Sure we learned many things, but couldn't there have been more? After a few days, I had slowly adjusted to knowing where all of my classes were, and tried to get there early. Anyways, Gryffindors and Ravenclaws were in Professor Binn's class. He usually had a monotonous tone of voice that ended up making him fall asleep. Today however was not that day. Today's history class was different.

"Now class, we are going to learn about your family history. It is quite simple actually." Professor Binn said in his drab voice. Why did I care of my family. It all went wrong after my grandfather, or great grandfather or something. But it required a wand, and that was a rare occurrence in the classroom of Professor Binn.

"But Professor, I already know my family history," called out a girl somewhere in front of me. I had opted to sit in the back, seeing as we have never had any seating arrangements in any classes.

"Ahh yes, you know up to your grandparents I am sure, but have you ever looked beyond that?" he asked, mostly to everyone. My grandparents were Ronald Weasley, and Abbet Powell. My grandfather was a great man, my maman was not. She was so snotty, with blonde hair and blue eyes, more so an older version of my twin Claire.

"I would like you to get your wands out, and repeat after me, Albero genealogica. Then point to the parchment in front of you." He said, waving a ghost wand in the fashion needed. Many people struggled. I, being semi good at charms was able to make a somewhat readable one. Bailey was situated behind me, and Jon in front. We had all easily done it.

"Now, if you have done it right, a very clear genealogy should be on your parchment." Professor Binn said. Bailey joined me, along with Jon and we showed each other our geneology.

"Hey wait. Don't you know? All of our grandparents were best friends!" Jon exclaimed. He held all of our parchments and was practically jumping up and down. I was quite surprised by this fact.

"I wonder what happened to them. We should have been friends since birth." Bailey said. He looked over at me. I definitely knew what happened.

"Well. It all happened after my grandfather married Abbet. She wasn't very nice, she was like Tanner. He tried to get her to be like him, but she only wanted the riches. And Harry went off to fight…him. Ron was left with a wife who hated him, he died after she gave birth to twins. One died at birth, the other survived. Since Grandpa died Abbet was up to raise her blonde hair child. Thus began the rain of evil. We were all purebloods, so they acted snotty." I said, wringing the edge of my cloak. I had avoided saying You-know-who, yet I knew that they knew. Professor Binn had made himself fall asleep yet another time, so he didn't yell at us for talking.

"That just isn't fair." Jon and Bailey exclaimed.

"I don't think this should stop our friendship." I said, trying not to get them pissed off, about the whole affair.

"It only makes it stronger," Bailey said, smiling over at me. The distant bell rang and we were off to separate classes.

Note: Albero genealogica is Italian for Family Tree.

Note: On Genei's genealogy, I did not put the whole family, just the ones she descends from. Also Most names are completely made up, if I used your name, I am sorry.

Symbols: d-deceased, m-married. On Jon's, I do not know Hermione's parents names, that's why it starts with her.
