Chapter 5: Operation: Which, not Witch

As Albus waited behind the greenhouse he felt an odd sense of impending doom. Kilee was in the hall behind him, he was on the right side of the greenhouse and Scorpius on the left. They were waiting to ambush Rose, but Albus could not shake the feeling something bad was going to happen.

Just then, Rose and her fiend Molly-Ana Magdalena Goyle came around the corner.

"ATTACK!" screamed Kilee, and the three of them jumped out and cast their spells.

Unfortunately, Albus thought with a wince, Kilee's aim wasn't the best. She accidentally hit poor Molly-Ana instead of Rose. However, both Albus and Scorpius hit the right target. So, while Molly-Ana's hair began hissing nasty things at her, Rose's auburn hair just gained scary looking snake heads. Rose actually looked pretty pleased with them. It seemed as if Rose was going to once again win, until one of the snake heads on her hair bit her nose. Albus and Scorpius burst out laughing while Kilee, who was rather green again, just gave a faint smile before throwing up in the bushes, mumbling, "I hit the wrong person…"

The whole situation seemed as if it couldn't get any more amusing, and it didn't. Professor Vector happened to be walking past when Rose got bit. And Kilee accidentally hit his shoes.

He let out a shriek, "Detention, you vile little miscreants!"

Kilee began to cry, and Scorpius sent Professor Vector the evilest glare his 11-year-old self could muster. While Scorpius stomped over to make Kilee feel better, Albus saw Rose smirk and pet her snake hair happily as she walked away with a crying Molly-Ana Magdalena. Deciding that his cousin needed to be stopped once and for all, he raised his want and said the first spell that came to his mind. Rose collapsed to the ground in fits of giggles. Albus's heart sank. The tickling curse. Just brilliant.

"Hehe…stop…hehehe…please…heheheaha…Al, hehehe, please," she said, now rolling on the ground laughing. Albus smirked. Her please were almost worth the extra month of detention and almost worth the 20 points lost from Gryffindor and almost worth the Howler from his mum. However, he, Scorpius, and Kilee paid dearly for their moment of fun. They were thrown into the lake and their hands were stuck together for a week, which caused major problems for poor Kilee.

As the weeks went by, they dropped back into their normal routine of being terrorized by Rose, and then blamed for it. By the time Christmas Break came, Albus was ready to strangle his cousin. Scorpius and Kilee were both thankful for the opportunity to escape the castle and Rose, but Albus wasn't as lucky; he was going to spend the holidays at his grandparent's house, with Rose. And no matter how he tried to beg out of it, it was useless. As Albus reluctantly waved good-bye to his friends, he couldn't ever remember disliking Rose this much. In fact, if Albus recalled right, at the beginning of the year they'd been friends. His chain of thought was broken, however, when his younger sister Lily came running up to him.

"Allie!" She squealed as she gave him a hug. Albus winced at the nickname but smiled down at her.

"Hey Lil. How've you been?" Albus asked as they walked toward James and their parents.

Hoping that as long as he kept in conversation with Lily his mum wouldn't chem. Him out for all the detentions, he listened to Lily's 10 minute response about how she and Hugo had made up a card game. He nodded in all the right places and even asked the occasional question. He purposely didn't meet his mother's eyes as they headed toward the car. When they got to the car, he was disappointed to discover that his parents had shared a car with his aunt and uncle, which meant that he had to sit next to Rose all the way home. However, he spent the whole ride studiously ignoring her and when they did talk, Albus was surprised to find that she was perfectly civil.

When they got to The Burrow, Albus was glad to see that Teddy was joining them for the holidays as well. He definitely needed some lessons from "The Master". And he received them. For the whole duration for the holidays, Albus had lessons once a day for an hour. And, surprisingly, Albus actually felt he was learning something.

It was after one of these lessons that Albus ran into Lily. Except this Lily looked funny. Her eyes were rolled backwards and she looked really scary. But before he could runaway, Lily opened her mouth and began to speak in a rasping voice:

"Destruction will rise again within Hogwarts' walls as the 2nd generation begins to finish the fight their forefathers' began. Enemies will become friends and friends will become enemies as trouble haunts the Divine Thorn. She must remember the past to save the future and join forces with those she oppresses. Only then can she save her flesh and blood from almost certain perishing death. She must remember the past to save the future."

Lily's eyes snapped back into focus. "What happened?" she asked, looking as confused as Albus was.

"I think you just made a prophecy, Lil," he said.

Lily snorted, "Oh haha, yeah right. Now really Al, what'd I do?"

Albus shrugged, "Sounded like a prophecy to me. At least it was definitely really confusing."

"What was confusing?" asked James, who was coming out of the kitchen.

"What Lily just said," Albus replied.

"He thinks I made a…" Lily froze and said in a low voice, "Al will give his little sister 20 galleons," She shook herself as James laughed, "Did I make another prophecy? Fork it up!"

"Yeah, right," said Albus.

Lily shrugged happily as she skipped away, "Well, it was worth a try."

The rest of the holidays went mostly without a hitch, except for when Lily made another prophecy when the whole family was present:

"Another set of twins will haunt the Weasley clan. Their birth will inspire the Lost One to seed guidance from the Master. He'll realize that he'll need a Partner in Crime and will find not one but two. Together they'll overcome their obstacles in life's race. Their friendship will be unstoppable, which, unfortunately, the Chudley Cannons will not be. But only the Master can stop the Divine Thorn before it's too late. Another set of twins will haunt the Weasley clan…"

Lily's eyes once again snapped into focus.

"Told you so," Albus informed James smugly. Meanwhile, the whole Weasley Clan was trying to figure out who was going to be stuck with twins. Justas everyone decided that George you get stuck with them, Ron yelled out, "I can't believe the Cannons are gonna lose again. That's almost 30 seasons in a row!"

Albus let out a chuckle. Just another holiday with the Weasleys… and the Potters… but mostly the Weasleys. The Potters were outnumbered at least 20 to 1.
