This is fun to write! I love this story, but again LDNaH ALWAYS comes first! Hope you like!
"Granger? Get up!"
Hermione stirred.
"Granger!"
She groaned, and rolled over. It must just be Ron, but why would he call her 'Granger?'
"Go away," she muttered.
"Get up Granger!"
"What?" she finally opened her eyes, only to see Draco and Albus Dumbeldore standing over her. She sat up straight and just stared at Dumbeldore.
"Mr Malfoy here has told me of your predicament," the headmaster said with a comforting smile, "And I've offered a stay here at Hogwarts while you try to find a way back."
"But we couldn't stay here," Hermione said, "We just couldn't."
"I was thinking that perhaps you two could be assistants in classes but still take a few courses here at Hogwarts," he suggested.
"Assistants?" Draco cut in.
"Yes for a specific subject," Dumbeldore explained, "You could be students and teachers at the same time."
"Sounds fun," Hermione said, "But-"
"We should," Draco said, "We could at least try to find out how to get back."
"It's settled then," Dumbeldore said, clapping his hands, "What subjects would you like to help in?"
"Potions," Draco said without hesitation.
"Defense?" Hermione said. That was, after all, the one class she could help teaching after the last year.
"Excellant; You'll be sorted tonight at the feast and begin teaching on the first day of classes!" Dumbeldore gave them a smile, and left after that, telling them to get some rest and that he'll have their things ready for them by tonight.
"What year is this?" Hermione asked after a while of uncomfortable silence.
"1976," Draco said, "Our parents generation."
"Screw this," Hermione muttered, "I am such an idiot for thinking everything would be fine right after Voldemort's gone. Such an idiot." Draco didn't comment on that.

"And we have two new additions to Hogwarts this year!" Hermione was feeling very nervous. Dumbeldore had said that they would be students and Teachers at once, but would that mean the students are different around them?
"Mr Storm and Miis Granger!" Hermione snorted when she heard Draco's new last name.
"Shut up," he muttered as they entered the Great Hall. Everyone's eyes were on them as they walked to the podium where Dumbeldore was standing. Whispers broke out throughout the Hall, and it obvious that everyone wanted to know why there were either such young teachers or such old transers.
"This is Draco Storm, and Hermione Granger," Dumbeldore said, gesturing to each as theirs names were said, "They will be students and teachers at the same time. Mr Storm will be helping Professor Slughorn occasionally in classes and Miss Granger will be assisting Professor Moerus. They will otherwise be students, but will also have the priviliges of Prefects. They will be sorted into their own houses, and I hope you will make them feel welcome."
Hermione sat on the stool first, and the sorting hat was placed over her head. Back in first year, it had dropped down and covered her eyes. Now, however, it fit perfectly.
Strange...I don't recall you ever attending Hogwarts, yet you have already been sorted...
Hermione didn't know what to say to that.
You've been through war, and that to at the front.
...
Yes, you would do well in Gryffindor.
The Hat shouted the last word, and the table where Hermione sat for 6 years worth of meals erupted into loud claps and cheers. SHe smiled as she walked over to the seat where a seventh-year boy had moved over.
"Hi, I'm Sirius," the boy said, holding out his hand, "Sirius Black."
A slight bit of panic hit Hermione, but she ignored it and shook his hand, "I'm Hemrione." Attention was turned back to the Hat, which Draco was currently wearing.
After a moment, the hat shouted, "SLYTHERIN!" and the table of the green and silver clapped and cheered loudly for their new addition. Hermione watched Draco make his way over to the table and sit next to someone that Hermione had no doubt was Lucius Malfoy. He looked up at that second and their eyes locked. There was only one thought that they were thinking.
What we are going to do?
What'd you think? I never let myself work on this before LDNaH, so that's why you'll find that this will be updated right after that one :D It was weird, because I got more reviews on the last chapter than I did in my old Dramion fic, which was 3 times as long... I like this plot better anyway ;D
R&R, that's mostly the only reason I'm posting this one. The others are all for enjoyment but this one I really do want reviews on.
Plus, this chapter is nearly twice as long as the last one, so I hope you like!
Till next chapter,
~Key (that's me! XD)
