Chapter 1 – the offer
One year after the final battle at exactly 1 O'clock in the morning harry potter was making his way up the steps of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry with his wife Ginny and their son James. As he made his way through the school he could finally see the damage that was done. He hadn't had a chance to see the way the doors to the great hall were chipped and scratched or the way that nearly all the halls had massive holes in them from all the spells that hit them. When he did look in the great hall he say it was the worst, the walls were smashed in all the windows were Brocken, the enchanted ceiling was now broken so while parts of it was black and starry like the sky outside most of it was just like a normal calling, this made it seem like all the magic of Hogwarts was drained and now it was like any old building. Harry was happy that McGonagall let them come this early because it impossible to go anywhere really because if he did the paparazzi would track down his every move and exaggerate it and turn it into a front page headline. That was why he needed to come this early. Of course he had no idea what this was about he just got a note from McGonagall telling him to come to the school at one in the morning with his family and have everything packed and that they should make sure to be ready to leave. He had no idea what this was about and wasn't too keen on coming but Ginny had made him and he wasn't really the type to say no to her after all she did have the famous weasly temper and no one liked to be in the firing range of that so he agreed to go. As they entered the school they smoothly and quietly made their way to the headmistress's office. She had changed the password to lemon drops in memory of the old Hogwarts professor and walked into here office,
'Welcome Mr. Potter, take a seat and I shall explain why I brought you here'
McGonagall said her voice stern and she had a smirk on her face that looked quite in natural on her. They sat down in the chairs in front of the descend exchanges curious glances at each other before they sat up and listened to what they have to say.
'As you know, last year there was said to be a curse on the defence job here at Hogwarts. And although I do not remember this Dumbledore has informed me of a letter it was addressed to Dumbledore though unfortunately. Due to his currant...um state? He is unable to follow through his own orders, in which he has asked me to help him with the letter informed of a man who was no older than the age of 15 who despite his age was one of the best DADA professor Hogwarts had ever seen. His name was harry -'
She was interrupted.
'Um professor not to be rude or anything but that's impossible I'm 18'
McGonagall looked with an even bigger smirk on her face before continuing her story.
'Mr. Potter I am quite aware of your age but let me explain. With him was his 14 year old wife and 6 month old son, you harry were the defence professor while you Ginny was a student that after only one week was moved up to seventh year for you power'
Ginny was grinning with pride at this point harry recognised it as almost the same amount of pride when little James did his first piece of magic, he was sitting on the counter playing with his favourite toy (a small golden brown teddy bear that was quite tattered because it had been harries before him and his grandfathers before that) when he suddenly dropped it he reached out for it and it came flying back into his hand.
'although yours and gin's ages change little James' wont because he is not yet a year old so there are no years to take of him, I imagine it was quite strange for everyone to see a 16 year old boy with a 15 year old wife and 6 month old son to walk in and ask for the defence job, Dumbledore simply wouldn't tell me bow it happened so I hope that when you get back you will tell me. Now the media will pick up on you absence by at least 9 this morning so I will tell them that you have taken a holiday to get away for a year and will be back at this exact date in 1 year although I would thing it best if you left here at 10 when you do get back it will seem suspicious otherwise, I have called all your friend and family to come and spend the day with you before you leave at 7 would that be ok?'
They both nodded they were a bit dumbfounded at the moment but they were both willing for it. They bother went to the Gryffindor common room to have a good night sleep in the familiar surroundings before the land day that awaited them.
They both woke up at around ten that day, and after having a pleasant sleep decided to go to the kitchens for some breakfast that doubled up as lunch. By the time it was 12, Hermione and Ron, who were both engaged and Hermione was about 4 months pregnant, And the rest of the weasel's came up to the castle to say their goodbyes to harry Ginny and James the last pair to come up was Ron and harmony who was looking at harry in their normal worried face that they only wear when they think harry is going to do something very stupid.
'Harry'
Hermione said, rather sternly and harry could early keep in his laugh at the similarities between her voice and McGonagall. Ron though couldn't keep it in and laughed out loud, but stopped immediately with a glare from Hermione'
'Are you sure that this is a good idea? I mean you could change history. Everything you have worked for would have been for nothing.'
'Hermione, I can do this. And you know I can because if you think about it, this has already happened so that means that our life won't change but I will be extra careful not to let any of the secrets of our time come out. I promise'
Hermione was looking at him in a strange way. There was a complete silence before Ginny finally said
'That must have been the deepest thing you have ever said...'
Great. Thought harry just brilliant but he decided to change the subject and they all decided to have one last game of quidditch which ended at exactly 6:30 so as soon as everyone left they made their way to McGonagall's office.
