September 8,

Hermione was used to having her husband come home late, after all he did play professional 10 years of their marriage before retiring and taking a desk job. She always had the kids to worry for anyways, but now she only got Emma who's a bit down with the fact that she was alone for the next 8 months or so. Hermione didn't want to ruin the surprise for her. In fact for the next year, during weekends when Hermione cant stay home to watch Emma, the 8 year old was going to Hogwarts with her father to watch him coach the new team. Hermione could only hope that her daughter could get into the team, if not, then she would still be proud of Maggie for trying anyways. But she was betting that Maggie or the twins will get spots in the team whether it be the official team or the reserve team.

Hermione stood at the front of her dresser combing through her hair and huffing in annoyance as the sudden humidity made her hair frizzier than usual, when Oliver walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his bottom. Hermione smirked at her husband who was strutting and grinning at her.

"What time is it?" asked Oliver as he gave the woman a kiss. "You have 30 minutes to shower, get changed and get Emma to school." Hermione informed the Scotsman who was digging for underwear in the closet. "Oh can you please ventilate the bathroom dear…..".

Oliver said "Ya, got it...Emma wont be late love"

"Better not be Ollie. Anyways, go shower….." said Hermione as she rose from her seat. After giving Oliver a kiss she headed down knocking on the washroom door down the hall telling Emma that she was going to be late and headed down to the kitchen.

10 minutes later,

"Emma" shouted Hermione from the kitchen. She was nearly late and Oliver was trying to shower hastily as it was his turn to bring Emma to school. After a few minutes a pair of feet hurried down the stairwell and into the kitchen, both owners were still not ready. Oliver's hair was dripping, so was 8 year old. Emma didn't have socks and so was her father. As much as Hermione didn't say it, Oliver and Emma is almost the same person.

"Ollie, she cant be late…..okay…Emma be good, don't be like your siblings" said Hermione as she handed the two's lunch bags. Emma seems to have perked up when Hermione mentioned the older 3. "Mum what did they do?" asked the 8 year old eagerly.

Oliver then said, "Wyatt had a huge potions accident because Lacrue put him and Parker as partners for the whole year not knowing that when you put the two together, havoc occurs."

"What kind of potions accident?" asked the 8 year old while her hair was being charmed dry by her mother.

"The potions exploded because they were arguing about something when Wyatt threw in a wrong amount of an ingredient then BOOM, the potion was on everybody." Replied Oliver. The three then stepped out of the foyer and locked the door. Oliver and Emma watched as Hermione hurriedly head to the hospital which was only at least 15 minutes away.

Emma looked at her father and asked further. "What about Nick and Maggie?'

"I caught Maggie aiding a prank by James and Stella. Nick, well he has been good"

"Bet you that wont last long!" exclaimed the 8 year old.

Heading out into the streets Oliver and Emma walked hand in hand down to the primary school just a 20 minute walk from home. After dropping the 8 year old at her school Oliver headed to his usual apparition point and left for work.

Cal woke up alone in bed, alone again. She frowned as she found that Percy wasn't in bed or rather his side was never touched at all. She could only huff in annoyance when she sat on the bed eyeing the Percy's side. Deciding that she couldn't let this get in the way of her day she grudgingly climb out of bed and headed into the hall. Putting on a shirt over her sleeping clothes, she stood in the middle of the hall looking back and forth trying to remember how it sounded when there were still children in the home or how it sounded if Percy was at home. Sighing heavily she decided to head to the kitchen before Tiffy prodded her to eat breakfast. Upon passing by the library door she found it slightly ajar. Snores were coming out of the office so she decided to investigate it. In the middle, where a sofa and a coffee table was, she found Percy snoring away still in the clothes he was probably wearing yesterday with the coffee table covered in piles of parchment.

Creeping to his side she sat on a spot and started to poke her husband. "No. Mmmm….more…coffee" muttered Percy. Cal smiled and shook the man away. Once his eyes opened Cal leant in and whispered "You don't like sleeping beside me anymore do you" as she buried her hand in his hair. Percy of course shook his head sleepily saying "Just had to finish papers. The Headmistress/masters needed then final draft today".

Cal just forced a smiled and nodded as she sat up straight. Percy lifted himself up and rested on his elbows as he watched Cal frown for a bit until she forced a smile. Sensing that he had upset his wife he sat up and straddled Cal from behind hugging her waist with both of his arms. "Sorry," he muttered before burying his face on the nook of her neck. But his wife shook her head in disagreement saying that she was being silly. Percy then asked her what time was her first class and it wasn't until 10am. "Its only 8, I'll owl these and stay with you until you leave…"

"No, its okay. Really"

"I know your face Callista…"

"Please, just don't make it a habit"

"I try not to, as much as possible you know I would rather sleep beside my gorgeous wife…"

"Funny…"

"not kidding you are gorgeous. So, how about we go have breakfast then I'll bring you to work before I go to work?"

Cal smiled and nodded in agreement placing a peck on his cheek. The two stayed laying on the sofa chatting along, as they had their breakfast in the library much to Tiffy's annoyance.

Hogwarts:

Friday, September 9,

A day before the try outs, nearly everyone was excited of the upcoming chance to represent their school. Well, everyone except Parker who was one of the few who didn't want to try out, the first years were excluded as they didn't have a chance to do so anyways. Even Jeff was trying out, neither sister could believe that he was going to try out.

Parker sat at the Gryffindor table with her brother and Mike as most of her friends were as at the pitch practicing along with the rest of Ravenclaw house. She was still brooding at how she could get her parents to let her study magic like how her mother did. She was gritting her teeth in annoyance when she felt a hand pat her shoulders. She looked up to see Mike smiling at her. "Yes?"

"You know, you're sulking. Why?" asked the tall blonde boy.

Parker looked at Mike who was the male version of her older sister. That's saying a lot as Jeff was Stella's twin, but Mike was almost Jeff's brother as the two had been friends since first year. Even if Mike was blonde, blue eyed and a Flint, mannerisms were the same as Stella's.

"Nothing Mike, I'm not sulking just thinking?"

"Is it of a certain Wood?"

"Heck no ew ….plus we know that Weasleys and Woods would only be bridged when this one and another Wood ever hook it up…." Parker said as she nudged at Jeff who was as of the moment having a short conversation with a Hufflepuff prefect about changing shifts the next week. Mike arched an eyebrow at Parker before both started to laugh.

At the same moment Maggie had entered the hall with a group of 4th years who just got out of Runes. Parker and Mike waved at Maggie who had waved back as she walked but tripped when Jeff had looked back as well as smile and wave at her. Parker and Mike would've broken into laughter if it was someone else but it was Maggie so they held it in. They watched as Maggie sat red-faced at the Hufflepuffs table with her friends ( a mixed set from each house). Not long after Stella came bounding into the great hall, as well, red faced but in anger. She headed towards the three, specifically Mike and hit him on the arm forcefully.

"No kiss to make it better?" drawled Mike as he smirked at Gryffindor captain. Stella said "You cheat, I got Fridays …and then you switch your schedule….the agreement when we picked out times randomly last-"

"-Hold it Weasley….I had asked McGonagall to switch me with a house because more than half my team are 7th years who have (NEWTs) double transfigurations wednesdays and you know Prancer asks for the parchments the day after…not only that we also have double potions wednesday mornings and Lacrue is almost as bad as Prancer!. This is NEWT's year do you possibly think I want my players to fail this ye-"

"-And I'm not a 7th year?….are you fucking dumb? I have those classes with you…." Stella said angrily. It was quite loud that the Professors; Potter, Lacrue and Flitwick, had stopped their betting at the head table to watch if trouble was going to explode between the two known archenemies in Quiddtich.

Mike stood up to his height of 6'1 towering over the shorter angry female in front of him who seemed to be not intimidated of his height. He looked calmly at Stella and said "I didn't ask to change it with you"

"Yea well I got switched…and I already asked to switch it again but she won't anymore..." Spat Stella shoving the new schedule of Pitch A at his chest. Mike took it and looked at the new schedule. True, Stella was in for it this year as both her practice times were on double transfiguration days.

"Tough luck babe and you're rubbish in transfiguration too, got EE's don't we? And that is with Jeff's help too" teased Mike. WRONG. Harry sat in his seat watching it unfold, if Mike tip toed any further along the topic of marks he might just find himself plastered on the wall with a very old Latin charm that maybe only Cal could reverse, or at least the best Auror the ministry could find as most ancient spells couldn't be reversed with finite incantatem. Harry knew the Silverio-Weasley kids had access to ancient world spell books from their grandmother's library in Spain. His eyes diverted to Maggie Wood at the Hufflepuff table looking edgy as she stared at the ceiling then at the two arguing captains. Harry looked up to see the sky charm on the ceiling fluctuating from sunny to stormy.

"Shut up Mike….you don't know shit…" said Stella who seemed to be trying to ease up her anger towards the slytherin captain before she strangled the boy.

"Let me make it up to you? I'll tutor you every Saturday night, then maybe a date?" offered Mike. But Stella just stared at him angrily saying "When raccoons fly Flint".

"Isn't it, pigs fly?"

"Well I know of a pig who already knew how to fly,"

"Really?"

"Yea, his name is Mike Flint…." Stella said as she grabbed Jeff's sandwich and stalked out of the great hall. Mike stood there watching the grey ceiling emit bolts of lightning as he thought about what the other captain had just said or at least how much luck didn't like him at all. Jeff said "she meant you were a-"

"-I know Jeff. Put a sock in it." Mike said sitting back down.

"Grumpy"

Feeling like he didn't want that to ruin his day as he had charms next, of course with his favorite female Weasley, he changed topics. "So cradle robber…."

"Shut up" said Jeff trying not to blush, but being part Weasley he was failing at it.

"What?" exclaimed Parker as she sat there wide eyed. Mike was wiggling his eyebrows nudging at where Maggie was sitting. Jeff then tugged on Mike's blonde side burn making the other 17 year old shout in pain. "I told you to not say anything to anyone" said Jeff gravely.

Mike got away and said "Well, I promised I wouldn't say it to anyone, but I didn't promise to not say it when you are around. Plus Parker over here already knows…mah-geeee, likes you, you think she's cute. Ow Ow ow!" Mike was trying to swat Jeff's grip off of his sideburns again thinking that maybe he should've cut his hair when his mother had told him to.

Parker gaped and swatted Jeff's hands away from Mike and held onto his hands as she leaned in to whisper between the three of them. "Do you really! Oh my god you are turning RED! Redder than papa's hair! HA! I IIIIII knew it…….you are a cradle robber"

"Well its not like I'm going to ask her…." Said Jeff as he stole a glance at Maggie who was laughing with one of her female friends.

"Why not!" said both Mike and Parker. Drawing attention to the odd trio sitting together.

"B-because she's like, my god sister. Like…. no way…." Whispered Jeff.

"Suddenly why do I think you are the blonde one here Jeff, you used 'like' twice. Like I'm the blonde one here!" said Mike who got a glare from the ravenclaw table where a blonde first year girl had over heard the blonde joke. Jeff huffed and poked his fries. "Just….lay off it okay….and don't say a thing Parker…or I'll tell Mama you were the one who had fed the rabbit marshmallows"

Parker looked mortified trying to imagine her mother's angry face if she found out that's why Grey Jr. the Rabbit got sick a week ago from ingestion of the sticky human treat.

"No you wouldn't….you… headboy black mailing a mortal like moi?" said Parker sinking back into her seat.

"Heck I will……"

"…FINE…..you suck…." Huffed Parker. Mike then changed topics to the evident betting happening between the professors as which house captain was going to get picked.
