The Letter
Harry was sitting in his living of the house that he shared with his wife of thirty-three years Ginny when a large tawny owl came flying through the open window that faced the village of Hogsmeade.
"And what do we have here?" Harry asked the bird knowing that it wouldn't respond. Harry untied the letter from the owl's leg and thanked it and it left.
"Was that one of the kid's owls Harry?" "I don't think so Gin I have never seen that owl before."
Harry opened the letter and read it silently as tears welled up in his eyes.
"Harry, what's wrong?"
"Bad news from the castle Gin."
"What do you mean Harry?"
Harry and Ginny had worked at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for many years. Harry was the Defense against the Dark Arts professor and Head of Gryffindor House. Ginny was the Charms professor and their oldest daughter Lily Longbottom was the Transfiguration professor at the school as well.
"Harry, will you tell me what has happened?"
Harry read the letter that he was holding.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter
I am sorry to have to inform you of this bad news, but Headmistress Minerva McGonagall died last night in her sleep. She was staying with her great niece in America at the time. Her Great-niece is the Headmistress of Salem Witchcraft School in Massachusetts. Accordingly, with the rules of Hogwarts, the Deputy Headmistress was immediately offered the job but she has turned it down. Deputy Headmistress Weasley nominated you for the position Mr. Potter. Please send a response as promptly as possible.
"Hermione turned down the offer to become the new Headmistress of Hogwarts?" Ginny questioned. Both Potters were stunned. Hermione Weasley had been the Transfiguration Professor since she graduated from Oxford Wizard Teaching Academy. She had been serving as Deputy Headmistress for the last ten years and everyone thought she would definitely be the new Headmistress one day.
"She nominated me to be Hogwarts Headmaster? Why me?" Harry said still shocked.
"Well honey you are the Head of Gryffindor House and an accomplished Auror, maybe Hermione felt you were the best person for the job."
Harry was stunned still not sure he was ready to become Hogwarts Headmaster. Sure he was The-Boy-Who-Lived, he had been an Auror for many years before becoming a professor, but still, Headmaster of Hogwarts could he do that. Harry looked lost in thought as Ginny ask him a question.
"What are you going to do Harry?"
"I don't know Ginny. What do you think I should do?"
"Harry you always said as a kid that Hogwarts was your home. Even after you left Hogwarts and became an Auror you couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts and give lectures about your exploits. Then when you retired from the Aurors you immediately applied for a position at Hogwarts. When Professor Vilely left the school you were given his job, and the became Head of Gryffindor House. Why not take the job?"
"Are you sure Gin?" Harry asked.
"Of Course I am Harry. Take the job."
Harry thought for a few more moments and then decided that he would take the job. Harry grabbed some parchment and wrote a letter of acceptance tot he Board of Governors.
To the Board of Governors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
I have been informed of Headmistress Minerva McGonalgall's passing and the refusal of Deputy Headmistress Hermione Weasley's of the Headmaster position and subsequent nomination of myself to take the job of Headmaster. After careful consideration, I have decided to accept the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts with your blessing.
Thank You
Harry Potter
After reviewing the letter for a minute and asking Ginny to review it as well Harry called his owl over and attached the letter to her leg and sent her up to the castle. School not being in session for another couple of months gave Harry and Ginny time to prepare for their new lives. Now it was time to figure why Hermione had not wanted the job.
Harry got up to go to the fireplace and lit a fire before fire calling Ron and Hemione's house known as Weasleys Place.
"Hello is anyone there?"
"Uncle Harry? Hi, how are you?" Albus Weasley greeted his uncle.
"I'm good Albus is your mom or dad home?" Harry asked.
"Uh I think so, let me go check. Albus ran off.
A couple of minutes later Ron entered the fire.
"Harry hi mate whats up?"
"Hey, can I come over and talk to you and Hermione?"
"Yeah sure you can over, but Hermione's at the castle."
"Okay, we'll be right over."
"Gin you ready? Ron said we could come over to their house and talk with them."
"Hold on one second Harry."
Ginny came down the stairs and Harry was reminded why he loved this woman. Even at 50 years old her hair was still as red as it ever was. Her skin still shined as if she was 18. Her body may have gained some curves after the birth of all their children but she looked just as beautiful as she had ever looked.
"Harry? Are you ok?" Ginny asked.
"What Ginny?" Harry came out of his daze
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah Gin I am okay. Just admiring the view."
"Aw thank you, Harry. Now let's get over to Ron and Hermione's place."
"Hey Gin. What about the kids you think they'll be okay?"
"Harry, of course, they'll be ok. James, Sirius, and Austin are all upstairs. I told them that we were heading over to Ron and Hermione's house and if they needed us just to let us know via the floo network."
"Okay," Harry said. Even though it had been 33 years since Voldemort's downfall he still worried about his family. Harry's eldest two children were Michael (Mike) Potter, 33 an Auror like his father and his sister Lily (Potter) Longbottom. 33 who was the Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts. Their other children were Sarah 24 who worked as a Muggle liaison officer at the Ministry of Magic, Jaime 21 who played Quidditch for the Chudley Cannons, James 17 last year at Hogwarts who was in Gryffindor and was a chaser on the Gryffindor House team, Sirius 15, was also Gryffindor and played as a seeker on the Gryffindor House Team as well, and Austin 12, entering his second year at Hogwarts. He was also in Gryffindor and seemed to be excelling in his class work. If anything leaving the three youngest boys at home themselves could be a disaster considering they could have given the Marauders or Fred and George Weasley a run for their money with all the pranks they played.
Harry and Ginny walked to the fireplace and each grabbed a handful of floo powder and flooed to the house of Ron and Hermione Weasley and their menagerie.
As Harry and Ginny were exiting the fireplace at the Weasley's home there were gang-tackled by their nieces and nephews who were still at home Michael 17 Gryffindor Head Boy for this next school year, Susan 16, Gryffindor a very smart girl (could give her mother a run) and Prefect, Blake and Watson 14 Gryffindor both Beaters on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and their youngest child Albus 11 starting his first year at Hogwarts.
"Oi kids get off your aunt and uncle," Ron said to all his kids.
Harry and Ginny got off the floor and were met with a hug and a handshake from Ron Weasley. At 51 he was still working at his brother's former shop Weasley Wizarding Wheezes he was the CEO of the Company since George never could take back the reigns of the business that he and his brother had founded. Ron actually turned into a very good businessman and made WWWInc a worldwide phenomenon with sales equaling 400 million Galleons a year.
"Hey guys so what do we owe this pleasure?" Ron asked.
"Well we received word that Professor McGongall died last night, and that Hermione turned down the Headmaster job and nominated Harry," Ginny said.
"Yeah, I heard about it."
"Do you know why Hermione turned down the Job and nominated me, Ron?"
"Honestly Harry I don't know, but I know Hermione didn't want to be Headmaster, as to why she nominated you isn't that obvious?"
"Obvious?"
"Well with your career and everything I mean you've been doing Defense Against the Dark Arts for a long time and the Head of Gryffindor for a while, so why not nominate you?"
"Do you know why she didn't want to be Headmaster?"
"As far I know she just did not want the job, Harry."
Just then Hermione Weasley appeared in the fireplace.
"Merlin what a long long day."
"Mione, are you okay sweetheart?" Ron asked his wife of 33 years.
"Yeah, just a long day. With Minerva dying and then trying to pick a new Headmaster."
"Hi, Hermione," Ginny said
"Hi Ginny, Hi Harry," Hermione said.
"Hermione, why did you nominate me to succeed Minerva?" Harry asked.
"Honestly Harry I thought you'd be the best person for the job."
"Hermione, why didn't you want the position of Headmaster?" Ginny asked.
"Ginny I felt like I could do a better job as the Deputy Headmistress and help Harry acclimate to his new role."
"Thank you for trusting me Hermione I really do appreciate it," Harry said.
"Harry, of course, I trust you, you are one of my best friends and I have known you for 40 years. I know that you would be the choice."
As the rest of the night progressed Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny just sat up and talked about what would be happening in the next couple of months. Since Harry had accepted the new position he would officially be enthroned on September 1st during the Welcoming Feast.
An hour later Hope (Weasley) McMasters Hermione and Ron's eldest child appeared in the fireplace.
"Hi Hope," Hermione said as she got off the couch to hug her daughter.
"Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad. Hi Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny, how is everyone doing today?"
"We're fine Hope" Ginny and Harry responded
"We're fine too Hope your mom is just really tired," Ron said.
"Yeah, Mom I heard what happened. I am so sorry."
Hope was now 33 years old and still very tiny. She was 4'9" and weighed in about 100 pounds. She was a solicitor for the Ministry of Magic. The other two oldest children are Harold 31 and William 28, were both Aurors.
"It's alright just stressed."
"I can understand that Mom, but I know it will be okay. I love you so much."
