Chapter 1: Students Arrive
Hermione walked into the heads department on the Hogwarts express to meet up with the new Head girl and Head boy. As she waited she looked at herself in the mirror. She had changed over the summer. She now had long wavy brown hair and wore more fashionable clothes under her teachers robes. As Michael Abot and Ginny Weasly walked in, "Welcome, you two and congratulations on becoming Head boy and Head Girl. Please come to my office after the feast to receive your password. Here are the other house's passwords and please plan out patrolling schedules. Though you guys know me please address me as Professor Granger from now on." With that Hermione apparated to Hogsmead and walked to the carriage that was waiting for her. She got in and watched the scenery as it went past on the drive back to Hogwarts. When she arrived to Hogwarts she went straight to her office. When she walked in she saw that Snape had been waiting for her. Snape was the last teacher at Hogwarts to congratulate her on her new position. She had been hired by Mcgongal to take over her spot as the transfiguration teacher as well as head of Gryfindor. She had been looked at with caution since she had graduated the year before but compared to the other choices she was the most qualified. She turned back to Snape and greeted him with a quiet but respectful "Hello" "Congratulations on becoming a teacher Miss. Granger, as a teacher you are entitled to use first names as teacher to teacher but to students please refer to me as Professor Snape. Though you are entitled to this I am not you friend." "I understand Proff… I mean Severus." "Good congratulations again Hermione." He left and Hermione turned back to her desk. She made sure all her stuff was in order for the next class. Then she went down to the great hall. She waited until all the older students were inside the hall before proceeding out the doors to meet up with the first years.
Hermione smiled at the new awed first years as the stumbled up the stairs "Welcome to Hogwarts. I am Professor Granger and I will be your Transfiguration teacher. Now within a few moments you will be traveling through the doors behind me you will follow me up to the front of the hall and wait till I call your name and then you will come up and put the sorting hat on your head. It will sort you into the house best suited for your skills. There are four houses Hufflepuff for those willing to work, Ravenclaw for the smartest, Gryfindor for the brave and Slytherin for the Mighty. Now lets proceed." Hermione said and turned around and walked through the doors making her way to the front of the hall and picked up the list. She read the first name and called out "Angel, James." James walked towards the front and put the hat on his head. "Angel I know where you belong SLYTHERIN." The hat said. From that point on the ceremony passed quickly for Hermione. When she was done she proceeded to put the list beside the hat which had gone limp and went to her spot at the staff table between Snape and Sprout. She listened as Minerva stood up and gave the opening speech explaining that Dumbledoor could no longer run the school so he had stepped down. Then Minerva Turned towards her and said "Please welcome the New Tranfiguration teacher and Gryfindor head Professor Granger." There was wild applause from the hall mainly from gryfindors. She sat back down and started to eat when the food appeared and listened quietly as Snape and sprout talked about ingredients that Snape would need. She put in a comment now and then to help out but mainly stayed quiet.
When the feast ended She walked back to her office to meet up with the heads after giving them the password and explaining where the heads dorm was to them she sent them off. Ginny stayed behind for a few seconds to giver Hermione a hug and tell her she was proud and to ask if she could stop by to talk to her but to say that though Ginny was her best friend that she was still a professor so to treat her as one in public. Ginny agreed understanding perfectly and walked out to meet up with Michael. Hermione then looked down at her schedule for the next day realizing that someone had scheduled her for a lunch with Snape. Great she thought who did that and she went to bed wondering what the next day would be like.
