OH NO JAMES, YOU DIDN'T (Harry Potter Next Generation Time Travel Fan Fiction)

Chapter Thirty-One

The kids are glad to be back at the castle once more.

"Yeah, so many pranks to do" Fred II said smirking.

"You better hope Molly won't find out" Roxanne said snorting. "She'll definitely deck you."

They spotted Cho Chang just then.

"Hey Cho!" James called out which has Roxanne's brows knitting.

"Oh, hi James" Cho Chang said. "Hi Fred! Hi Roxanne" she added smiling

"Hey" Fred II said while Roxanne just waved.

"Had a good Christmas?" James asked.

"Oh it was quiet. But I'm used to it." Cho answered. "How about you?"

"Oh, it was quite different." James said shrugging "Our parents were away, so I spent my Christmas with just my siblings and my cousins."

"Oh, that's too bad" Cho said sympathetically.

"Yeah, it is" James said looking sad. He then turned cheerful and said "Hey, you know the next Hogsmead trip. It's on Valentine's Day. Do you want to come with me? "

"Oh" Cho said. "I'm sorry. I'd love to, but I'm going with someone else"

"Oh? Who?" James said looking curious. Although he knows it was his father. Fred II snickered while Roxanne rolled her eyes.

"Harry, Harry Potter" Cho said.

"Oh" James said acting as if down. "Well. It's Harry Potter and I'm no competition, am I? Who would want to choose poor James Parker over Harry Potter?"

"I really am sorry" Cho said.

"Yeah, it's okay. I'm cool" James said.

"I- I uh have to get to my class" Cho said feeling awkward. "I'll see you around."

She then left rather hurriedly.

"You prat!" Roxanne said rapping James in the head while Fred II roared with laughter.

"That was good James" Fred II said.

"What was that?" Roxanne asked.

"Nothing, it just popped in my head" James said. "Did you see her reaction though? I bet that was her reaction when dad asked him to go to the Yule Ball"

"If your mum ever found out about this" Roxanne said.

"I'll be dead" James said matter-of-factly "You'll have to dig for my body"

Then the three of them laughed.

"What are you three doing strolling in the corridor? Shouldn't you be in class?" said Filch

"Damn" Roxanne muttered.

"We're going to our class" James said.

"A likely story. Class begun three minutes ago" Filch said. "You'll be one of them, troublemakers, aren't you?"

"No Mr. Filch" Roxanne said.

"What would the High Inquisitor will say, eh my sweet" Filch said talking to Mrs. Norris. "I hope she approves the whipping. God I miss the screaming"

"What-" Fred II said.

"What's happening here Mr. Filch?" came a silky voice which had James frowning.

"Ah Professor Snape" Filch said "I've seen this three skipping classes."

"No we didn't Professor. We-" Roxanne said.
