So I have had this idea for years already and I barely started to write it out. I am just testing the waters to see if anyone is interested since I just want two of my favorite characters to have some sort of happiness. I am sorry if the characters are OOC or anything of the sort. None of the characters belong to me.
"Why are you doing this again? You really shouldn't do this."
Laughing he shook his head, "Why not? You know if I don't do this they will never get the chance. Just once...somewhere...they deserve a fighting chance."
"C'mon Sammy, do I really have to wear this whole getup? He whined as his brother looked him over and tried to fix his stubborn tie. Once satisfied, Sam smoothed out the wizards robe on top of it. Dean though very annoyed couldn't help but feel some affection at his brothers' actions. A small smile forming on his lips as he wondered who the adult was between the two. "It's not as is if anyone will see what I am wearing underneath the robe."
Sam rolled his eyes as he sighed. "Dean it doesn't matter if no one can see it. It's all about looking and feeling professional," he replied as if it was the most obvious thing. Dean let out an exaggerated sigh as he ruffled his kid brothers' hair, "Fine but if I start getting too itchy I'm taking it off."
Sam shook his head in amusement, knowing that his brother no matter how uncomfortable he got wouldn't take it off.
Dean couldn't help the small grin that appeared on his face as he looked around. As soon as he walked into the bar he knew he would have to frequent the Hogs Head, like any bar he had visited before this one made him feel at ease somehow.
Remembering the reason why he was here in the first place he took out a very old looking pocket watch with a six pointed star from underneath his robe. Cursing at how late it was he walked quickly up to the bartender to ask for directions before walking up the stair to the room his meeting was supposed to take place in. Standing outside of the door he smoothed out his robe before running his hand through his hair. Taking another deep breathe his hand hovered over the knob, but before he could turn it the door sprung open. A bit surprised he stood there staring at the man inside.
"Mr. Winchester glad to see you are doing well. I was beginning to think that I had been, what is the phrase, 'stood up'." Pausing he smiled reassuringly at the young man before opening the door wider. "Please come in and sit. I took the liberty to order some tea and for the both of us. I hope it is to your liking."
Regaining some of his composure Dean gave the headmaster a sheepish smile as he shook the headmasters hand and took the seat he was offered. "Tea will be fine." He would have preferred a nice cold beer right about now or something a bit stronger if possible but he didn't think that would be very professional. "I am sorry for the lateness but I misjudged the time I should leave and well my younger brother thought I should change into proper clothes before meeting you."
"Ah yes, Mr. Samuel Winchester. I have heard from Filius and the other professors that he is very bright and a good student and I can't help but agree."
Dean smiled feeling very proud of his younger brother. "Yes, Sam is very smart. I just hope he doesn't get too caught up in his studies and forgets to have some fun. I…" He paused as he remembered something he should have done, turning to look from his cup to the Headmaster. "I can't thank you enough for allowing him to attend your school. I know it was last minute and that it usually isn't done like that but well we could have never expected…"
Dumbledore smiled kindly, "I understand Mr. Winchester and as I have told you before, you really don't have to thank me. Getting him enrolled didn't take that much persuasion. The board of education were very sympathetic to your situation and it seems that he is fitting well with the students so there is nothing to worry."
Nodding he took a sip from the tea cup placed in front of him. "Thank you, Headmaster."
"Now that that is out of the way let's talk about the reason why we are here. As you know right now I am in need of two professors. My Muggle Studies Professor has decided to travel and do research and my Defense Against the Dark Arts position is also available. I received your application and was a bit hesitant since American wizarding schools are slightly different but after some chats with your Headmistress and Robert I think congratulations are in order Mr. Winchester." Dumbledore smiled widely as he looked at the man across from him very amused to see his expression changing from disappointment to disbelief.
Dean having had prepared himself for the worst couldn't help but grin and jump up, shaking Dumbledore's hand in excitement. "Thank you!" He laughed as he stood there in shock. "You won't regret it." Smiling he made sure he remembered to thank Bobby and Ellen as soon as he got back home.
"Now Dean there are some basic things you are required to teach but for the most part you are free to teach what you want. I would think you want the Defense position considering your history with the defense and the supernatural."
He shook his head, "Headmaster, if it's alright I would like to teach Muggle Studies. I know that perhaps teaching Defense would be more interesting but after thinking it over a bit...I think teaching wizards about the muggle world will help foster better relationships between the two worlds." Realizing what he had said he turned slightly red as he felt he said something a bit cliché.
Dumbledore was a bit surprised but nodded. "I think that would be great for our students to learn and will definitely help foster better muggle-wizard relationships." Standing up he shook his hand again. "Now if you don't mind I have to cut our meeting short since I have to look for another professor." Before walking away he paused, " I will owl you with some more information, we will be having a meeting before the festival. I will see you in a few months." Giving Dean one last smile he disappeared with a pop.
Dean walked into Bobby's place looking very expressionless, his brother and Bobby stood up and looked at him as he took off his robe and began to take off the tie around his neck.
He could see that Sammy was trying hard not to ask him what had happened before finally giving in. "Dean?"
"I'm sorry, Sammy. I don't think we will see each other that much next year." The looks on both Bobby's and Sam's face were priceless, unable to torture them anymore or hold in his laughter he smiled. "I got it."
Bobby and Sam both looked slightly murderous before quickly becoming overjoyed. Bobby moved towards him and patted the back of his back harder than usual, "You shouldn't worry an old man like that or your poor brother."
Sam grinned, " We should go out and eat. They opened that new Italian place by the Muggle bookstore." Bobby shrugged and nodded having gotten used to spending time with Muggles now that the boys were with him.
Agreeing to the plan he quickly went to take off the suit he was wearing. As he walked downstairs the sight of Bobby and Sam waiting by the door he couldn't help but smile and think that things were finally getting better.
