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

Chapter Thirty-Six

Harry has become the hero in the Gryffindor common room that night. Fred, George, James and Fred II has daringly enlarged a copy of The Quibbler and hang it on the wall with Harry's giant head looking down at them saying things like THE MINISTRY ARE MORONS and EAT DUNG UMBRIDE. Although impressed with the magic used for it at first, Hermione's patience has been tested because the noise interfered with her concentration. The novelty had died down after two hours or so and almost everybody had admitted that the poster was not funny at all when the magic started to wear off so that it merely shouted DUNG and BRIDGE.

It didn't come as a surprise to any of them when a new Educational Decree was announced expelling students who will be caught reading the Quibbler.

"Is she really a moron or what?" Dominique commented during breakfast "I mean prohibiting it would only spark curiosity among the students"

"That's her desperate move" Roxanne said snorting. "Besides, the students are several steps ahead of her"

"What are you saying?" Albus asked

"Yesterday I saw two Hufflepuffs reading the page of Uncle Harry's interview. I'm certain because I heard them. But when that foul woman asked them to hand it out to her, it looked like an extract from a text book"

"I heard from a Ravenclaw that they magically wipe their copies of that interview to make it look like a spare piece of parchment when Umbridge told them to turn in their pockets" Rose added.

"And the best thing about it is that more and more people believe Dad" Lily put in.

"Yeah" said Louis "I saw Cho talked to Uncle Harry yesterday. I heard her mentioned the interview"

"She said she was sorry for the way she reacted during their date" added Lucy.

"Come to think of it, Mum said somebody asked her about the interview" Hugo said.

"So that's why Umbridge's not too happy lately" Fred II commented.

"She even forbids the teachers from mentioning the interview" said Albus. "It's mentioned in her Educational Decree—how many decrees do we have now?" he asked.

"Who's counting?" Dominique said making them snigger.

"We should head to our classes" Molly II reminded them.

"Right" Rose and Lucy said standing up at once.

"Oh by the way" Fred II said "We have Quidditch practice later tonight. Mum said you and Hugo can use the pitch at around 8." He told James and Hugo.

"Mum's really worked out with Quidditch right now." Roxanne said "We told her you guys might help and she agreed at once"

"Okay! I'll be down at the pitch to watch you practice" James said.

"We'll watch too" Louis said "Blimey, I missed flying"

"Me too" Lily agreed.

"Hey do you think the Gryffindor reserved Quidditch team is doing alright in our time?" Roxanne asked.

"They better be" James growled. He was after all the Quidditch captain.

"It would be humiliating to go back and find out you went from the champion to the last place" Fred II said chuckling.

*************

At exactly six in the evening, the next generation of Weasleys went down to the Quidditch pitch to watch the Gryffindor team practice. The practice didn't last long though since almost everyone was disheartened by Ron's failed saves.
