Hogwarts: Next Generation

Twilight quietly followed Tomorrow and Ash.

Tomorrow sighed again.
"Fine," she said to Ashton, "be tired."

"Tom, shhhh!" Ashton said, mortified, "Tell me things things PRIVATELY!"

"It's not like I'm telling everyone when puberty started for you...which it hasn't," said Tomorrow.

Ashton frowned.
"Hold on ... mum encourages me to stay up late ... and party hard ... and die pretty ... and drink and not smoke, which is pretty werird."

((My aunt Lu :L:L:L))

Winter screwed up her face in concentration, as she followed her firneds, and tried to master a spell under her breath. "Urgh!" she cried, stowing her wand away in her pocket.

"Yeeeeah ..." Ashton said, "Hi Winter ... what are you doing here again?"

Tomorrow scowled.
"She's are friend too Ash!" said Tomorrow, hitting Ashton over the head with her hand.

Twilight watched the trio quietly.

Tomorrow turned back to Twilight.
"You ok?" she asked.

"Yes." Twilight said quickly, looking at the floor.

"I don't think you are..." said Tomorrow, frowning slightly.

Twilight glared through her short violet hair at Tomorrow.

Tomorrow glared back silently.

Twilight lengthened her stride, walking away from the little group.

Tomorrow followed, using her calming voice.
"Listen....I think I know what's wrong...it's your sister, isn't it?" Tomorrow asked.

Twilight slowed down, her hands balling into fists.
"It's my whole family."

"What's wrong with them," asked Tomorrow, keeping her calm voice turned on.

"Everything." Twilight said.

"Give me specifics..." said Tomorrow.

"I'll show you later." Twilight muttered.

"Ok then..." said Tomorrow.

Twilight sighed again and headed for Gryffindor tower.

Tomorrow swept behind her, following.

Muttering the password, Twilight clambered through the portrait hole and headed up to the dormitory.
