A/N: Had to repost story, really hope you enjoy. PLEASE review!
Chapter 1
My name is Ginny Potter OMSC. I am married to Harry Potter OMFC, savior of the wizarding world, the boy who lived twice and so on. I had had a crush on him since I were a little girl, and I fell in love with the boy who lived when I was 10 years old at Kings Cross Station. But when did I fall in love with my Harry? Second year, when I opened my eyes and looked into his, getting up from that bloodstained chamber floor, I loved him. Every fibre and ounce of his being. And he fell in love with me. That's our happy ending.
But it is time for a new chapter in our lives.
Hogwarts.
I had handed in the harpies robes just after I got pregnant with Albus, but this time I had handed in my notebook, given up my magazine column, and Harry his missions and Head Auror badge.
We had a new challenge; Headmaster and Deputy at Hogwarts.
I am head of Quidditch and the flying professor, since I played for the holyhead harpies for 3 seasons before I had James.
James is 26, and is married to Neville & Hannah's daughter, Alice. Lily is 20, and engaged to Luna's little boy. They are getting married in the the most unusual couple is little Albus dating Bee. Bethany Malfoy - yep, you guessed it... Draco Malfoy's daughter. She was sorted into Gryffindor, unlike her parents, and is a delightful girl - very different from her father in his youth. But it's all okay, all we want is for our children to be deliriously happy - and they all are. Plus Astoria is really lovely, and keeps Draco in line, and Draco himself has changed to. Gone is the loathing muggleborns pureblood little boy and he is now a wealthy kind man, hating his father. He is extremely good friends with Hermione too.
Harry came in.
"Shall we dine fair lady?" He drawled.
We have always spoken in old English. We are famous for it.
"Lord Potter, art though has to undertake the duty of the sorting ceremony."
"Oh bugger - let me walk you down then."
We walked down to the great hall, but we both stopped in our tracks at the wall where Fred had fallen. I burst into sobs, and Harry held me while I cried. This was not a good way to start my teaching career at Hogwarts.
I cast a quick charm to wipe away my tears and swollen eyes to make myself look presentable. We continued until we stood right outside the great hall, and the big wooden doors stumbled open. We had the entire student body and staff (apart from the new 1st years and Hagrid) looking at us, but Harry still pulled me into a fierce hug and whispered in my ear.
"I'm so proud of you Gin, you'll be a great deputy headmistress. I love you so much."
A tear trickled down my cheek at his heartfelt words.
"I love you too Dumbledore."
He chuckled at my words, planted a soft kiss on my forehead and strode down the great hall, everyone clapping.
I straightened my emerald green witches hat, my glowing scarlett hair spiraling down my back. I pulled a list out of my matching green robe, which was quite tight fitting but very reserved. It was a velvet, and a new job present for me from my family, to say good luck for teaching at Hogwarts.
I remembered about the sorting hat and the stool - we'd left it in me and Dum..Harry's office! I had always known Harry's office to be Dumbledore, and we'd arranged to share our office. Hagrid now had my old one, much to his despair.
I walked up to the throne, and I could hear very vocal whispers about me. Boys sat there with there eyes wide and mouths drooling at me, and I began to feel really embarrassed.
"She's sooo pretty - Harry is so lucky!"
"She is really fit."
"She's got such a nice figure!"
"Her skin is so good..."
"Her hair is to die for; it's so soft!"
The entire staff were smirking at me except Harry, and I went as red as my hair. Harry sat there in his golden throne, his eyes pooled over with his love for me.
I approached the staff table, and he opened his mouth to say something.
"Don't go all romantic on me Mr Potter or you'll pay for it later."
"Yes, Mrs Potter. As you wish."
The staff laughed, and I blushed even more, as I had forgotten that they were there.
"We've left the hat and stool in your office." I whispered.
Simultaneously, we both wandlessly summoned them, as if we could read each others minds. But the thing is, we can. We share a soul bond.
HP/HP/HP/HP/HP/HP/HP/HP/HP/HP/HP
The whole hall turned to look at us. Never had they seen so much power before - our wands were still in our robes! The hat and stool came zooming in, and I used my Chaser reflexes to jump and grab them. Everyone burst into applause at our spectacle - even the teachers! We both rolled their eyes.
"Here we go. Here's to you Minerva." I said looking up at the sky, for the late professor McGonagall had passed away last July at the old age of 298. Magic folk lived much longer than muggles.
"Good luck Gin. You'll do great."
He squeezed my hand, and I left to save the 1st Years from Hagrid.
Approaching the double oak doors, I suddenly felt a pang of nerves overwhelm me. I could hear the incessant chatter of the first years behind it. I couldn't be a teacher, I would be awful at it! But then I remembered. I had brought up 3 wonderful children, and I had Harry with me every step of the way. I would be fine.
I opened up the doors, and saw Hagrid standing there. I couldn't wait until Victoire and Teddy's little girl, Coral, could come to Hogwarts, and her siblings too. She was named after Teddy's mother's love of pink.
I pulled myself back into reality.
"Thanks Hagrid. I'll take them from here."
I turned to the first years - were we really once that small?
"Good afternoon guys. I'm Professor Potter. I'm the quidditch coach, flying instucteras well as deputy headmistress." I took a deep breath and surveyed their faces. They all looked
genuinely interested, and I was relieved. I inhaled deeply and carried on.
"In a minute you lot will be sorted into the Hogwarts houses. Your houses will be like your family while you guys study here. The houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw & Slytherin. Gryffindor is named after its founder, Godric Gryffindor, and is know for its bravery. Professor Longbottom is head of Gryffindor. Its colors are Red & Gold. Ravenclaw is named after its founder, Rowena Ravenclaw, and is known for its intelligence. Professor Flitwick is head of this house. It's colours are Blue & White. Hufflepuff is named after its founder, Helga Hufflepuff, and is known for its loyalty. Professor Macmillan is head of this house. It's colours are yellow and black. And finally last, but definitely not least, is Slytherin. It is named after it's founder Salazar Slytherin and is known for slyness. It's head is Professor Malfoy. Its colours are green and silver. I will return in a minute when we are ready for you." With that, I finished her speech, and strode off to check if Harry was ready. I opened the doors and walked in. I raised an inquisitive eyebrow at Harry and he nodded. I smiled and walked out.
"We are ready for you now."
I walked through the great hall towards the stool which had the hat placed on it. Quickly winking at Harry, I stepped up to the platform, and motioned for the 1st Years to stop.
"I will call your name out. Please step up to the stool, sit on it, and then I will place the hat on you head. But first, the sorting hat has something to say..."
"Welcome back students,
To Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry,
And welcome the new 1st Years,
I realise that you want to see,
Which house you will belong to,
So you can go and be free.
The first house, Gryffindor, is for courage and bravery,
The second, Slytherin, for slyness and cunning,
The third, Hufflepuff, for loyalty & chivalry,
And the fourth, Ravenclaw, for intelligence & wit.
For you will belong to one of the houses that I have said,
Once you place me on your head,
The Sorting hat is my name,
For once sorted, your life at Hogwarts will change."
The whole school burst into applause
at his song, and the sorting began.
"Olivia Abbess." I called out clearly. She got named a Ravenclaw. I continued to do that and I had realised I had got to Emma Creevey. She was Dennis & Jessica's (Alicia Jordan's, formely Spinnet, sister) little girl. She had an older brother, called Colin, in his 4th year. I smiled at her, and she unsuprisingly got made a Gryffindor. I continued to do that until everyone was sorted. I banished the hat and sword to our office, and sat down. Harry stood up from the bench, cast a sonuros charm so that his calming voice was loud and magnified.
"Good evening students. Now as I'm sure that you all know, Professor McGonagall passed away unexpectedly last July. I would like to take a minute to remember her."
The entire hall went an eerie quiet, like a silencing charm had been used, and after a moment Harry opened his mouth to speak again.
"Thank you. Minerva dedicated her life to educating young witches and wizards, she lived a long life, and we will all remember her fondly. Now, may the feast begin!"
He winked at me, and I quickly slipped round to my seat next to Harry's. I knew that my life had changed but for the better.
As I broke out of my trance, the gleaming goldon goblets filled with the deep amber liquid that was butterbeer, and the plates filled with all the delicacies imaginable. Chicken Drumsticks, sausages and bacon, salmon, prawns and tuna alike filled platters, and everyone's glazed over in averice at the sight of all the food. Happily, everyone began to pile their plates until no more could be added, and then tucked in contentedly. I followed their lead. And let the novelty of the sorting feast overwhelm me.
