Next Generation

Hugo and Natasha were playing cards, waiting for their father.

"What are you both doing out of class?" They look next to them, and see their father.

"Nothing, waiting for you." Natasha says, smiling at him.

He pats her head, and looks directly at Hugo.

"Why did you not come?" He asks Hugo, who simply remembers.

"I, uhm, came later." He says, sheepishly smiling,"Albus needed help, and forgot I needed to go." He says, scratching his neck.

"Fine." He says, as the twins get up, and put the cards down,"Now we have a match to get to." He says, both his children running with him behind them.

•••

It was Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff.

Hugo was charged to keep eye on Natasha, not by Oliver, but Albus and His father.

He was on his broom, catching each ball that came his way, but also keeping an eye on Natasha, who was hitting each dementor that came her way.

•••

Natasha was hitting each dementor.

She saw one going for Harry, and immediately hit it, she saw him go down, tried to save him, but couldn't, a dementor got her.

Natasha found a way out, and went down.

The only person that saw her falling was Hugo's successfully catches her,a nod went back down to be met by their father.

Remus ran to his daughter and hugged her.

"Are you alright?" He asked, and she nodded,"Are you hurt?" She shook her head.

"Why are you're finger tips black?" Hugo asks, looking  at her fingers.

Natasha puts her hand up to see they are indeed Black.

Remus knew this would happen, but didn't think it would happen so soon.

He took out Black gloves, and put them on his daughter.

"Here, you keep these on." He says, and she nodded,"If anyone asks about them, ignore the question." He says, Natasha takes a deep breath,"Come on both of you." Remus says, all of them walking away, not wanting to make a huge scene.

Natasha and Hugo were in the Gryffindor common room.

There was only silence, none of them knew what to say.

Hugo looked at his sister, to see her looking at the fire in front of them.

"Hey," he says, and Natasha looks at him,"Do you remember the time Annalise first went to the muggle world?" He asks, holding in a laugh.

"Yeah, I do, Lucius was furious when he found out." She says, both fo them laughing,"Remember when dad left us to cook dinner." Both of them laugh harder.

"Yeah, yeah, dad said'How do you two almost burn the kitchen! Your only 9!' It was his fault though." He says, Natasha laughs, and Hugo smiles happy to see his sister happy.

"How about when Jane and you brought home a dog, and dad screamed'Sirius!?'." Both of the twins were laughing on the floor."Oh, How about when I got anger, you and dad had to duck and cover?" She says.

"Yeah, me and dad called the police for some reason saying'Hello Police, yes my daughter is very close our destroying our home, Hello?' The man hanged up on dad!" He yells, both of them laughing.

"When we're adults we're going to look back at this and just laugh at how stupid we were." She says, leaning onto the couch.

"Yeah, we are." He says, looking at her.

"Twins forever." They both say, high-5ing.
