The Later Years
Part I
Before: A/N:This story takes place 20 years after Harry graduated, so if you haven't read the third book, Get Out Of Here PLEASE... It will ruin all the fun! Harry is Deputy Headmaster, but guess who is Headmaster? You'll have to guess, it'll spoil the surprise.------Hermione is a teacher (which one? You'll learn later) People, this is my first fanfiction, my first songfic is dumb, so I don't think I will post it. Enjoy! But no flames, please, I assume I'll get enough without yours... Enough to toast an english muffin or a marshmellow to charcoal. (I'll give the burnt ones to you people who like burnt marshmellows ::ICK!::)
Nok Nok Nok. Deputy Headmaster Harry knocked on the heavy wooden door of Lupin's office, expecting to see a blazing fire and a smiling Lupin signing papers, reading a book, writing a letter, or being busy in some sort of way. And that is how he saw it, but the picture wasn't quite right. Some other people were there too!
"Hermione? Ron?" Harry gasped. This was too good to be true! He thought that Ron was traveling in Kansas, (in the U.S.A for you ignorant people) and Hermione was in France!
"Ah, Harry!" said Lupin, his face glowing with pleasure. "You're finally here! I havea pleasant surprise for you! Hermione and Ron are going to be teachers here at Hogwarts, and you will be teaching Transfiguration, besides you other duties, due to current circumstances. Professor," Lupin gritted his teeth. "Snape has decided that, since a werewolf and his least favorite person in the Whole-Wide-Wizarding-World is deputy headmaster, he has quit.
An explosion of cheering greeted Lupin's ears.
"Hermione will be teaching potions, and Ron will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts."
Ron shifted nervously. The job hadn't been cursed, they had proved it, but people were still nervous about it.
"Well, Remus, this IS a surprise." said Harry, smiling broadly. "But I don't think that I CAN teach Transfiguration, I was never very good at it."
"Well, I need a teacher, and I think you will do well. remember when you turned a frog into a muggle computer? That was a sight I will never forget..." Lupin chuckled.
"All right, I'll try, but if I'm not good at it, give me a break, then I can switch with Hermione. Or Ron."
"You could give me training!" interrupted Ron. "You were the DATDA teacher once, Remus!"
"True..." said Lupin thoughtfully, an idea popping into his head.
