"Is everyone excited to head back to school tomorrow?" Mum asks us and Albus and I shrug.

"I am!" Lily beams smirking.

"Oh Merlin" Dad groans "All of you are to stay out of trouble this year. It gets tiring having to hear from my colleagues what destruction my children are causing."

"I personally love hearing about it in James' letters." Teddy shrugs shoveling potatoes into his mouth. I smirk at him as I eat some of my broccoli. "Gives me pride to know that old McGonogal is still getting a run for her money even though I am gone."

"Yes it seems one thing you have taught your brothers and sister is how to give the whole of Hogwarts staff a heart attack." Dad says to Teddy who just eats more food in response. "when is Victorie coming home from France?" He asks

"Oh come on you love having me for dinner every night! Face it... you've missed me." Teddy shoots dad a wink. Dad just chuckles shaking his head in response.

"James" Mum says and I look up at her "No causing trouble this year." I roll my eyes "Maybe even try making new friends?" She suggests

"I like my friends fine thank you." I tell her

"Jamie you are a sixth year now, maybe nit wouldn't be such a bad idea to-" Dad tries

"Do you all hate my friends?" I ask looking around at my siblings. All three of them nod in response.

"They are pretty horrible." Albus shrugs

"And rude" Teddy adds

"And that Lysander Scammander is always looking at me weirdly." Lily says "He's nice and all just makes me uncomfortable." She shrugs and I roll my eyes.

"You lot are supposed to be on my side." I glare at the three

"How can we defend your friends when they harass Al and his friends to no end?" Lily asks and Al and I both glare at her.

"They do?" Mum asks concerned "James why don't you tell them to stop?"

"They don't harass him. Lily is dramatic. They just mess with him a bit." I explain "Albus just is such a wimp he doesn't mess around back."

"If he did they would probably beat him up." Teddy adds

"I wouldn't let it come to that." I say

"Wait Ted you knew about this?" Mum asks "And you didn't tell dad or I?"

Teddy looks at mums deadly glare and I can see the fear in his eyes, "They made a sibling pact didn't you?" Dad asks and we all nod "You four need to quit with that."

"Nah" "No" "No thanks" We're good" All four of us say at the same time causing our parents to roll their eyes.

"James watch out more for your brother this year." Dad tells me

"I don't need a babysitter." Albus rolls his eyes.

"He doesn't need a babysitter." I hold my hand out motioning to Albus.

Adelaides POV:

"You guys ready for school tomorrow?" My oldest brother William asks us as we eat dinner.

"Oh yeah, so excited" I roll my eyes.

"Maybe if you put yourself out there more you would actually have fun." My other brother, Blake, says to me.

"I am perfectly content with the friends and life I have there. Its just one group of people in particular I hate." I groan

"Addie just stay away from that Potter kid and his friends, it isn't worth it." Angie, Williams wife, says to me.
