Hey everyone, sorry I took so long to update. I got back from vacation and school started. Then I thought I'd get the chance to finish this but didn't get to. So I'm really sorry. This chapter is with Iris. Some of the Weasley next generation kids will be different obviously, but I will try to keep it mostly cannon.

Iris couldn't wait for orientation. She was so excited for it that she voluntarily picked up a book and read. From what she read MAG had houses just like Hogwarts. Except it had six and you switched every year. Then in seventh year she would get to choose what house. Then there were eight quidditch teams. They had two leagues each with four teams. There was the league for first, third, fifth, and seventh years. The other league had second, fourth, fifth, and an all star team with one player from each year. With eight teams, and her experience she knew she could make the team.

"Iris dinner is ready! How many times do I have to tell you this?" Ginny was starting to get mad at Iris. She had gotten a call from her sister-in-law Angelina inviting Iris to spend the night. She just hoped Iris and Roxanne didn't blow up a washer again, or set fire to Issac again. Her poor nephew had been in the hospital for a week. Ginny had been so angry she had whipped out her wand and proceeded to throw stinging hexes and bat bogey hexes at her daughter. Iris still hadn't came down. 'I bet she's reading more about that school of hers. At least she's reading something other than quidditch through the ages.'

"IRIS NOW!" She knew now Iris would come. Sure enough she heard her running down the steps.

"Don't run in the house 'Ris. Now Aunt Angelina invited you to sleep over tonight-" Ginny didn't even get to finish her sentence before Iris interrupted.

"Yes it worked!" Iris screamed.

"What worked?" By now Ginny's patience was gone.

"You know what 'Ris don't answer that. As I was saying you are invited to sleep over tonight but I have told your Aunt that if you and Roxy pull even one prank she will send you to Uncle Percy's where you will stay the night."

"Mom can't I stay here with you?"

"No because that would be nice. No Iris I got called in to test out a new broom today. The seekers edition of the lightning bolt. They promised they'd have it out by next week because some people pre-ordered them. So they are trying to make sure everything is perfect. I was going to bake a cake for you to take with you to Roxy's but then Cormac called." Iris was disgusted by the way her mother's eyes went foggy at the mention of Cormac McLaggen a poor excuse of a wizard.

"Alright mom I get it. Can you pass the cheese this spaghetti really could use some." Ginny laughed before summoning the cheese and passing it to 'Ris.

"Roxy can we go to your dad's shop? I wanna get some new pranking supplies and when we went to Mystic Mall they didn't have a prank shop. Hey what's your wand?" Asked Iris excitedly.

"Mine is Hickory, dragon heart-string, and twelve inches. What's yours? Oh and we can go down to the shop. Maybe if we help my dad and Uncle George clean up we can get whatever we want!"

"Great idea as always Roxy. And my wand is Maple, seven inches, and a griffin feather for the core. Mr. Lucindo said it's one of the rarest cores. Now lets go I want to get some pranks. My mom just said I couldn't pull them with you. She said nothing about stocking up on supplies."

Roxanne and Iris ran down the stairs like they were jets of lightning. They got into the store and begged Fred and George to let them help clean up in exchange for some pranking stuff. Fred and George looked at each other and shrugged.

"So Iris we hear you won't be going to Hogwarts." George said.

"Oh, that school? Yes well I got accepted into a school for the gifted. Clearly none of you are as talented as I am." Iris said in her best snobby voice. At this Fred and George faked hurt looks. After that the four got back to cleaning up and doing inventory. When they were done Fred and George said to take ten items of their choice.

Iris got a pack of dung bombs, two skiving snackbox variety packs, one exploding cauldron, love potions(to mess with people's love life), one week undetectable hair dye, fireworks, swamp in a bottle, leprechaun gold charmed so it disappears the second someone touches it, and lastly one pygmy puff.

That night Iris and Roxanne both talked about school and how they couldn't wait for it to start. They were both talking about how they had a calendar counting down the days to the start of term. 'Ris told Iris about how she had orientation on Monday and promised to tell Roxy everything about MAG. They fell asleep with dreams of magic.

The next morning Ginny came over to have breakfast with the group. After breakfast she and Iris both went home thinking about family. Iris knew that she shouldn't bring up her father but she couldn't help it. She wanted to know more about her father and why she knew next to nothing about him.

"Hey mom,"

"Yes 'Ris?"

"Who's my father?"

"Well Iris he was a kind man and great with defense against the dark arts. I thought I was in love with him, but..."

"Yeah!?"

"Iris lets go get you a broom. You still need one right?"

"Yeah but I wanted the lightning bolt seeker edition."

"I know, so let's go and get it."

"You mean it's came out. Yes!"

The duo went down to the Bolt Head Quarters and got Iris the new broom. All Bolt employees always got the newest broom when it came out. The broom was perfect. It was a deep mahogany with lightning bolt seeker carved onto the handle. The twigs were a light brown. Iris could feel the magic radiating off of it. When they got home Iris hopped on the broom and soared away. She skipped lunch to fly and practice dives. She only came in when it was dinner.

The next day Iris woke up at 5:30 and rushed down stairs. She began making herself and mother breakfast. Iris made pancakes but ended up letting the plates catch fire. The smoke detector woke up Ginny who came down, saw Iris covered in flour and laughed.

"Mom! This is not a laughing matter. The portkey leaves in two and a half ours. How can you be laughing? I still have to eat, shower, get dressed, bring my trunk and broom down, and clean this up." Ginny laughs even harder, and waves her wand. Instantly the mess starts to go away. With another wave of her wand the pancakes are cooking them selves.

"Thanks mom." Ginny just smiles and levitates the pancakes onto a plate for Iris then gets the syrup. Once Breakfast is finished and cleaned up Iris showers and gets dressed. She then starts to drag her trunk down the stairs and to the door. Before she knows it it is 8:30. She grabs the portkey, activates it and leaves.

When Iris opens her eyes she is in a different world. Right in front of her lies an old fortress. Surrounding the fortress are six smaller buildings each the size of a small muggle apartment building. On each of the smaller buildings are signs that say what house they are. Off in a distance she could see twelve hoops in the air, and two sets of stands around the hoops. Two quidditch pitches! Off to her right is a wide track with a start and finish line along with stables nearby. Iris wonders if the stables are for horses or some kind of magical to her left is a huge forest with a path going through it for hiking. Behind her are mountains for combat practice.

She doesn't even notice others arriving. Once what Iris assumes is everyone arrives an elderly looking woman appears. She is petite with greying hair and wrinkles around her face. She smiles at the group of children gathered before her and the proceeds to introduce herself.

"Good morning everyone. Welcome to Merlin's Academy for the Gifted or MAG for short. I am the founder and your headmistress and theory professor Lisa Mars. I hope you are all ready to begin your training in magic and are also prepared to work hard here. As you may already know at this school we go through an intense curriculum in first year covering the first and second year of other schools. At the end of the year we select twenty-five of you to continue at MAG for the remainder of your magical education. While the other twenty-five of you will need to find elsewhere to attend as third years not second. Now during this two week orientation you will be sorted, and attend classes taught by older and former students. These classes will be on the rules, classes, clubs, quidditch, chariot racing, hiking, and dueling. At the end of the week anyone wishing to tryout for the first year quidditch team and all star team will be allowed to. I will appoint a captain for the quidditch team as well. Now I will take you to the inside of the school building and you will all be sorted."

All of the first years silently followed Professor Mars into the building. When they entered she led them into a huge circular room with nine tables. One was the staff table, one was a table for former students visiting the school, and the last seven were for each of the seven years. At each table for students there was a number on it. The first years obviously had number one the biggest table. They were all instructed to sit at the table.

"Now for those of you who don't know here at MAG we have six houses. The houses are Merlin, Le Fay, Peverall, Flamel, Agrippa, and Dumbledore. We sort you by magic. Not by skill or power but by where your magic points you to. Each year your magic will chose a different house and then in seventh year you can choose. Now to get sorted you will all need to follow a certain ritual. When you receive the parchment and dagger prick your finger so that seven drops of blood land on the parchment. Your name and house will be added to the list. Then with the other side of the dagger tap where you pricked your finger. It will then close up. Good luck firsties."

The paper was passed along and one by one everyone pricked their finger and watched with awe as their name and house appeared on the paper. They also watched amazed when their cuts healed. When Iris got the paper she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She then opened them and pricked her finger. She counted the drops of blood as they came. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Iris then quickly tapped her finger and watched the cut heal. She looked down at the parchment and saw her name. She was in Le Fay.

Okay so that's the end of this chapter. The next one will be Caitlyn and be the end of orientation. So sorry that it took so long. The next chapter will be out faster. I'm aiming to update on Saturdays.
