The Next Generation

[*Riley*]

Liam was now sitting with the other Gryffindors at he table and the sorting resumed..

He sat waiting anxiously knowing eyes were on staring at him from behind, a ouple of girls from Hufflepuff actually came up to him and batted their eyelashes and giggled hysterically, he knew being art veela had some advantages but not when you were a boy, it was meant to skip the male gene.

He sat wating anxiously at the table waiting for Arthur Dursley's name be called, he had met him on the train and they had clicked ever since.

Arthur saw Liam sitting at the table opposite him, and said hello.

"Did you want to be in Gryffindor?" he asked.

[*Riley*]

"Well i was meant to be in Slytherin, But i wanted to be in gryffindor, so what about you ?" he asked curiously.

" OH and by the way i'm pureblood what about you ?"

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

"I don't know, what's a pureblood?" Arthur didn't have any idea what Liam was going on about. What did he mean, he was supposed to be in Slytherin?

[*Riley*]

"Well see , there is muggle born which is non magical parents, where a half blood is a non magical parent and a full wizard, and a pureblood is a wizard/witch with both wizards as parents?"

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

"Oh ok..." Arthur paused. "I guess I'm muggle born then. Does that make a difference?"

[*Riley*]

"Well according to some yes but me no, listen hear the Slytherins are ALL Purebloods and they don't tolerate anything below them , they call people like you muggle borns and people like me blood traitors..

"They don't sound very nice... or look it," said Arthur, glancing over at the Slytherin table. "You were meant to be one of them?"

[*Riley*]

Well kind of, what makes me different from one of those is i chose not to be in their .. Do you think i belong in their ?" Liam asked glumly.

"And that's my big brother" Liam said he said glumly pointing over to the Slytherin table.

"And my sister" he said pointing to the Ravenclaw table.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

Arthur looked again at the Slytherin table.

"No, I don't think you belong in there," he said, after some thought. "What? You're sister isn't it Slytherin as well? If you're supposed to be in there, shouldn't she?"

[*Riley*]

Liam opened his mouth to reply, but the headmaster interrupted ..

"Now We Eat!"

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

Following the Headmaster's orders, the pair (along with everbody else in the Great Hall) piled helping after helping onto their plates, and stuck into their meal.

[*Riley*]

After a good helping of i wide range of desserts and dinner, Liam And Arthur headed up to their dorms where they....

... found that all their luggage had been delivered. Arthur checked his trunk to see if everything was exactly where he had left it. You could never really be too sure, his grandmother had always said.

Valencia slowly walked out of the Great Hall, thinking. The children of so many Order members...... What an interesting year this will be....... And that Linda Damien, she seems very smart. Eager to learn, one of my favorite qualities.... A lot like Hermione Granger..... And boy who's part veela, very curious...... I hope he isn't teased terribly..... Valencia turned left into an empty corridor and unlocked her office door. Upon stepping into the familiar clutter of her quarters, she smiled. What fun tomorrow's teaching will be....
