Hogwarts - The Next Gen.

Chapter 11. Rebels

The first day after the small holiday break arrived. The tension at hogwarts was palpable. The teachers and head pupils were instructed to keep an eagle eye and to be alerted for any sign of unrest. Even certain parents and former students helped to maintain the order and safety at Hogwarts. Others felt like they we're trapt instead of being protected from any kind of threats.

Among them was Lilly. She was attracted to a group of rebellious students. She was invited to one of the secret parties. It unleashed a spark of excitement in her. Y/n watched her friend sceptically. Lilly told her about the party, but y/n suspected that these parties we're a cover up for something els. She has alot of questions like 'who organised it? And why in secret?' She even saw a sudden change in Lilly her behaviour. Lilly wasn't a  party animal at all, so that she wanted to go was quiet a suprised to her. "What kind of party is it?" and "should you go there now?" asked y/n her with a concern voice.

Lilly misinterpreted y/n's concern and took it as jealousy. "Wait...are you worried? Or do you find it annoying that I am the one being invited? And not you?" She stopped for a second. Y/n didn't respond.  "Well guess what. You don't always have to piggyback on my fame, you know...." The unexpected accusation really caught y/n surprised and annoyed. "You know what, fine, go ahead." she replied back before pushing her seat back and started walking away.

---- POV Lilly ----
Lilly looked back on the holiday. A sense of disappointment lingered. Every time Lilly sought contact with y/n, someone else seemed to come between the two of them or claim all the attention. It didn't matter who it was, but somehow y/n was always the centre of attention. Lilly felt as if she was the third wheel. After all, Lilly was the daughter of the famous Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley. It was only normal that she was the centre of attention.
Now she was struggling with an unfamiliar sensation: jealousy.

When she got the invitation  Lilly knew she had to seize the opportunity. This way, she could show everyone that she didn't need anyone to have fun. However, little did she know that this was just the beginning and her behaviour began to change little by little.

---- Back to story ---
Y/N walked past a few other classrooms. Most of them were empty, except one.
Defence Against the Dack Arts. The classroom had no door. She saw Albus, Rose, Scorpius, Karl and Yann sitting on their benches, lissing to the explained theories about a few spells and how to use them. Albus's gaze met hers and they suddenly remembered the holiday. He waved at her and she began to sense a light blush on her cheeks.

Trying to regain her composure, Y/N hastily averted her eyes, but was startled by the sudden sound of Karl's fist hitting a nearby table. A silence fell and suddenly all eyes were on y/n.

The teacher walked up to her and sent her away. She conjured a wall, so that no one could peer and everyone could regain their focus.

As Y/N walked towards the great hall she strolled through an crowded. Whispers of a rebellious student group echoed against the walls. It seemed a rebellion was underway.
Curious, Y/N decided to gather more information. One name kept popping up in the rumours: Hugo, Lilly's cousin, who was known for his own share of mischief. Hugo was said to be the mastermind behind it all.

Intrigued by the growing unrest, Y/N decided to investigate the party on her own. She went to find Hugo and when she spotted him. Hugo was handing out owl invitations with the cryptic message "basiliek  at midnight".

Was this the location for the next party? However, when Y/N approached him, he disappeared into thin air. He left no trace behind. She found a invitation on the ground. She holding it firmly in her hand. Now Y/N was faced before a dilemma. Should she report this? Or should she keep this information to herself and leave it at that?

As the hours passed, Y/N struggled with her decision.
She went to the party, determined to find out the truth behind the rebellion and Hugo's involvement. Y/N slipped through the shadows and made her way to the Basiliek Hall, her heart pounding with anticipation.

There she was. More and more students where gathering with their robes on. Y/N saw Lilly with some new friends laughing and giggling around her. They seemed to be from the same dorm. She also saw Hugo. He was waiting for someone further on and disappeared through a wall.

Y/N's heart raced as she was pulled into a dark room, her senses reeling. The faint smell of old parchment and magic lingered in the air, a stark contrast to the pulsating energy of the party just beyond the walls. Her thoughts were spinning in a whirlwind of confusion.

Before she could panic, someone pressed their lips against hers, a sensation of shock waves was sent through her body. Instinctively, she tried to pull away, but the grip tightened and held her in place with terrifying force.

One of the passing students saw two people kissing each other in the dark. A comment was made at that  moment, reminding Y/N what kind of situation she was in. "Quiet..." whispered a familiar voice in her ear, sending a shiver down her spine. "You shouldn't be here." Y/N's mind raced as she recognised the voice. "Karl..." The last person she had expected. And also the last person on earth she would want to be with.

Questions pooled through her mind. Why was Karl here? Was he involved in what happened tonight? And why had he kissed her? Karl was a complicated figure, someone she had once trusted but through betrayal, had since become a distant memory.

As the sounds of laughter and music drifted through the walls, Y/N couldn't help wondering what other secrets lay hidden in the depths of Hogwarts, waiting to be revealed. And whether she was ready to face the truth, whatever it might be.

Karl released her gently and tried to kiss her again. She pushed him away "Stop!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with anger and fear. But Karl's grip only tightened, his eyes burning with desperate intensity as he searched for answers that Y/N could not provide. "What does psychopath or that Potter head have that I don't?" he asked, his voice laced with frustration.
She was silent, her gaze tight and unwavering. With a frustrated growl, Karl released her. "Or are you one of those girls who fall for girls and therefore hang out with them?" Karl's words dripped with contempt, his smirk made Y/N's blood bowled. She gave him a slap in the face, causing him to lose his balance and crash into the wall. "How dare you! You stole my first kiss.... WHY, did it have to be you? Why did you have to do something like that?" Y/n's tears rolled down her cheeks and she ran away.

It was a terrible party. On her way to her own student hall, she was stopped by James and Rose. She poured her heart out to them. Rose made sure the news of the party was announced to the professors. As a result, the party was stopped and several students were given punishment duties.

No one knew that Y/N had something to do with it.
