Chapter 2 First Day at the Job
Ginny woke up the next morning, not by herself. Fiona was already awake, jumping on her bed. She got up anyways to avoid any complaints. She went to change and got Fiona dressed. Once they had finished, they were on their way to the Great Hall for breakfast, when she happened to run in Draco.
"Hello, Malfoy."
"Oh, Weaslette, may I have a word with you during my free period?"
"Sorry. I don't have any free periods today." She lied as she left since Fiona was tugging her robes to go to breakfast. She left a confused Draco and walked with Fiona to go to breakfast. Once there, she got to the table and had some toast. Fiona had porridge and like always, spilt it on her small robes. Once they had left, she went to her class and got the books to prepare. She once she got the equipment and stuff, the student were seated and chatting.
"Class!" she shouted. Immediately, everyone had stopped talking.
"Well since this is your first day with me, I'm Professor Weasley, call me Professor. This is my daughter, Fiona. She'll be helping with incantations of defensive spells. Don't be fooled by her age." Ginny said, while pointing at her daughter.
"Right, this is the only boring lesson you'll get for this week as long as you do the homework, okay?"
"Okay, Professor!"
"In your textbook, turn to page 345. It should be about Boggarts. Now read the information and complete all questions. Your homework will be on the board." She said while she waved her wand so the homework appeared on the board. About 45 minutes later, the bell rang. Everyone left and the classroom was abandoned. There wasn't going to be another class until before lunch, so she took Fiona back to their quarters and allowed her to play around. Once Fiona started to play, she got a parchment, a quill and an ink bottle.
Dear Hermione,
You know, my first lesson was alright. The worst part about this is……Draco Malfoy is here. He teaches potions, I think. Don't tell Ron about this, don't tell Harry either. Do you think I should tell Malfoy? He asked me to talk to him during my free period but I didn't know what to do. Fiona dragged me out of it so I had to lie. Please reply in 3 days or I'll be sending a howler to you. I'm serious.
Love,
Ginny.
P.S Fiona says hi to Harry, Ron and you.
As soon as I finished writing that, I heard a knock on my door. I opened it and the last person I wanted to see was there.
"Hello Malfoy, what can I do for you?"
"You lied." He spat with some sort of a pissed off tone.
"Well, I had to alright! Fiona wanted me to hurry up." I shouted. He flinched and Fiona walked up to him and punched him on the leg.
"That's what you get for hurting mummy's feelings, prat!" Fiona shouted.
"Alright, alright, give it up. Seriously." He pouted.
"So, what do you want, Malfoy?"
"To talk to you."
"About what?"
"I don't know. How the others have been." Ginny sighed. She was scared that he'd ask who Fiona's father was.
"Fire away."
"How's Potter, Weasel and Mud-Granger been?"
"That's Potter, Weasley and Potter for you, Malfoy. Harry married Hermione a few months after the graduation. Ron just got engaged with Luna."
"Wait. Lovegood?"
"Yeah, her."
"Anything else you want to know Malfoy?" she literally spat.
"Are you married?" he asked, really smoothly. Ginny's mouth dropped and Fiona just stared at him as if he was an idiot or something.
"Ahh…uhh…err…" she couldn't think or do anything after the question.
"Are you?" he asked again.
"No!" Fiona said, answering for me.
"Ok. Sorry for disturbing, Weaslette." He said before leaving. A few minutes later she took Fiona to the owlery and told the owl to send the letter to Hermione. Afterwards, they left, going back to the classroom for the next class. By the time they got there, the third years were seated and silent.
"Hello class. I'm Professor Weasley and this is my daughter Fiona. She'll be helping with the incantations of defensive spells. Don't be fooled by her age, I've already told another class this."
"Since I don't have much of a lesson for you, we'll do something from the textbook. Turn to page 216 and you should find something about Kappas there. Read the text and do the questions. Homework is a two foot essay on kappas. If you all complete your homework, we'll do Grindylows on Monday, deal?"
"Deal!" the class of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students. About 45 minutes later, the bell rang and everybody left for lunch. Ginny and Fiona left after them, being really hungry since they skipped morning tea. The rest of the day was spent looking for Boggarts and Grindylows. The Boggarts were easy but the Grindylows? She had to either fish them out or go underwater. She didn't want to risk going underwater, especially in the Black Lake, so she just fished them out. It took about 3 hours and the sun had already started to set. Fiona was getting hungry from sitting there reading a book on advanced spells. Once Ginny got all the Grindylows she could get, they left to place them in an aquarium sized fish tank, designed to keep water magical creatures. They left the classroom and went to the Great Hall for dinner. They ate dinner in silence and walked back to their sleeping quarters when they bumped into the person hey hadn't seen for about 5 hours.
"Hello, Weaslette." He drawled.
"What do you want now, Malfoy?" she sang since she was pissed off.
"I want to talk about someone." He said. Ginny hated it when Draco played there stupid guessing games with her.
"About who?" she said, irritated.
"Someone you know." He said, feigning innocence.
"Spill it, Malfoy. I don't have all day." She almost shouted. Fiona had just yawned right after her sentence.
"Alright, alright. I'll tell you so I won't get punched by that daughter of yours. I want to talk about Fiona." He said calmly with some sort of curiosity in his voice.
"F-Fiona?" she stuttered. She started to panic and it was quite obvious in her voice.
"Yes, about Fiona." He said calmly.
