Harry Potter: The Next Generation

Crazy things can happen before the holidays

Well, Christmas Holidays start in two days, and I am super excited to be going home to see Mum and Dad. I've already packed my trunk out of excitement. Leah, Cynthia and I have also become pretty close friends to Hugo Weasley over the past couple of months. I think it was because he always had questions about his homework and we were all willing to help him. The more we helped him with his work the more we knew about him.

We left the common room and headed down to the great hall for breakfast, and today was the last day of classes and we only have technically one class today except for the fact that we have back to back potions with Slytherin house. Potions isn't my all time favourite subject but ohh well, I can't change the schedule.

The great hall was already full of students but my friends and I found open seats next to Hugo.

"Hey, Hugo, are you ready for double potions this morning?" Cynthia asked with a grin on her face while taking her seat next to Hugo.

"No, not really. I'm not good at potions. If it wasn't for you three I wouldn't be passing the class at all." He replied while stuffing food in his mouth.(A/N just like his father isn't he)

"Well, look on the bright side potions is our last class before christmas holidays." I said. Hugo smiled when I said that, and I thought to myself 'mission accomplished cap-I-tan.'

Breakfast was over quick, and soon we were heading toward the dungeons for potions. We met up with Kim on our way.

"Hey guys" Kim said in a very happy/excited tone.

"Hey" we all said back mimicking her. Then we all walked to potions class together.

***********

Potions class feels like it's taking hours to be over. We started working on a wart remover potion. It's not that hard I had mine done in the first hour so I sat for the next hour watching everybody struggle with it, well except for Cynthia who was sat next to me.

I got bored watching everyone struggle with the potion so I asked Cynthia, "why are they having so much trouble with this potion, it's like the easiest one in the book."

"Just because you and I find the potion easy doesn't mean that everyone else will find it easy too."

"True. Sorry I asked. I should have known the answer to that."

A couple minutes later Leah and Kim joined us. Almost everyone had finished their potion. I noticed that Hugo was still struggling.

"Too bad we can't help him, Professor Gill forbade it." Leah said

"I know this is like a mid-term exam it's worth 20% of our final grade" Kim replied in an intellectual way.

Finally the class was over and we had the rest of the day to relax. We all went out to the tree next to the black lake where we met up with Scorpius. Then the six of us just spent the entire evening talking about our days and how excited we were to go home for the Holidays.

**the night before leaving for holidays**

Well it's the night before we leave for the Holidays and everyone(and by everyone I mean the six people in the group I hang out with) was meeting in the great hall. We were going to have a wizards chess competition.

I was playing a game with Hugo when I asked him, "are you packed to go home for the Holidays?"

"Yep all ready to go. And I can't wait. My parents, sister and I are spending the Holidays with uncle Harry, Aunt Ginny, and James, Albus and Lily." I looked at him with a confused look because those names sound familiar especially Lily. Hugo noticed and answered my question before I could ask. "They're the Potters and Lily is in our year."

I can't believe it. My arch enemy is the daughter of my favourite Quidditch player of all time. I am literally starstruck right now.

"Gelina!"

"Huh."

"It's your turn."

"Oh, sorry Hugo, I must have zoned out for a second there"

We finished the game and of course Hugo won. I can remember him telling me that his dad was the best at chess when he was in school. Like no one could beat him, so I guess Hugo inherited it from his dad. He also told me that his sister Rose was also good at chess but she was also really good in school subjects like their mom. I've always looked up to her in a way. Scorpius would always get mad after a test because Rose had beaten him on all of them. I thought it was funny but he didn't.

"Well it getting late we should all go to bed" my brother suggested with a yawn.

"Good idea, Scorp." Kim replied.

"Scorp?" The rest of us said looking at her.

"Yeah, since we were in the same house saying Scorpius all the time got boring. So I started calling him Scorp." Okay this is weird usually Scorpius only lets certain people call him Scorp and that's his family. So why is he letting Kim call him that?

** catching the train back home**

I woke up this morning with excitement that filled my whole body with adrenaline. I got dressed in a red t-shirt, jeans and my converse shoes, then grabbed my trunk and headed downstairs to the common room. My friends were all waiting for me there so we could all have one last meal together before the Holidays.

Walking down the steps to the great hall I had stopped dead in my tracks because what I saw was the creepiest thing I have ever seen. My brother and one of my best friends kissing. Leah, Cynthia and Hugo were close behind, and when they saw Scorpius and Kim together their mouth sort of dropped.

"So that's why he lets her call him Scorp, Gelina" Cynthia said.

"Thank you captain obvious" I whispered to Leah so Cynthia couldn't here me. I mean I like the girl so I don't want to hurt her feelings with my sarcasm.

Breakfast went by pretty quickly and soon we were off to Hogsmeade station to catch the train home. I feel like this is going to be a long Holiday.
