Arthur left for work by floo, and Hermione got up and decided to take a bath. She soaked in the warm bubbly water sighing. She had to admit she felt a little sore from her sex with Arthur, he was very thick she thought to herself, and a big grin spread across her lips. This was even better than she expected. He was absolutely delicious. Hermione started to think back on her other sexual conquests over the last few years. Not that there were that many. Harry, Steven a muggle, Sirius, Remus, and, now Arthur. From the way Ron carried on five wasn't that big of a number since it had taken her over two years to get to that many.

Hermione got out of the bath and used a drying spell and an anti-frizz spell on her hair. She also took a birth control potion that she took every day. We didn't need any more Weasleys running around she thought. She laughed to herself thinking about introducing Ron and Ginny to their new little brother or sister. Yes definitely birth control was a good idea! She put some makeup on and got dressed in another sundress, she loved summer and summer clothes. I wonder what Arthur and I will do this evening she thought to herself. She knew one thing they would be doing for sure shagging!

It was around 9:30 and she was starving from all of her previously activity, so she went downstairs for some breakfast. She saw the bed was still in the lounge, and she charmed it back to a sofa, you never knew who could show up at the Burrow. How was she supposed to explain that one? She made herself some tea and toast, and just sat down and took her fist bite when two owls zoomed to the window. She greeted them and took the scrolls off their legs and gave them treats. One flew away the other a smallish gray stayed on the window sill prancing back and forth, he must be waiting for a reply, she figured. She opened that one first it was from Arthur. The other message was from Hogwarts.

Hermione~

Will you please come to my office around two o'clock? I'm going to give you a tour with the hopes you will become a future employee of the Ministry! Then we could perhaps go out to dinner?

Yours,

Arthur

Hermione wrote Arthur back that of course she would be there at two, and sent the bird on its way. She wondered if he really was going to give her a tour since she had been to the Ministry many times, of if he just wanted to see her. Either way it gave her something to do. She drank some more tea and finished her toast. Then looked at the other letter, and opened it. It was actually from Dumbledore. She read it quickly, she was to be head girl! Not surprising really, but very exciting just the same. Right now she wished that Harry, Ron and Ginny were here. It would have been nice to have someone to share this news with, but she figured that she could always celebrate with Arthur tonight.

Hermione spent the rest of her day reading, lying in the yard in an old sunning chaise and making lists of things she would need to get in Diagon Alley before school started. She primped a bit and put a light cardigan on over her sun dress and some sandals. Grabbed her new designer Muggle purse, and at 1:45 flooed to the Ministry.

She arrived in the large floo network area, and preformed a quick cleaning spell so she would look nice for Arthur, not all covered in soot. She knew her way to his office he was on the 5th floor so she got in the que for the elevator.

"Pardon me miss but aren't you lovely." A familiar voice said behind her. She spun around

"Remus! How wonderful to see you." she said with a smile.

"That's Professor Lupin, Miss Granger." He said trying to look serious at her.

"What? You haven't been my professor in years now! What are you going on about?"

"I've been hired back to teach at Hogwarts." He said

"You're not serious are you?" She asked him, thinking too herself that last summer she had slept with him.

"Yes Miss Granger, I am very serious." He said in a mocking tone.

"Can I come visit you in your private chambers then?' She winked at him.

"Gods Hermione, watch what you're saying, do you want to get me sacked before I even start?!" He looked serious now. "You know I'm engaged to Tonks now."

"Oh yes, yes, how lucky for her." She sounded a bit annoyed.

"Besides you haven't heard the half of it, Sirius, will also be teaching at Hogwarts this year."

"Blood Hell! I'm going to have two professors I've shagged?"

"Wait…Two professors you've shagged?" He looked puzzled. "You shagged Sirius as well?"

"Now who needs to watch what their saying. Merlin's underpants! How did this happen? You two can't both be at Hogwarts!" She felt light headed

"Well my dear, I'm afraid we are." He said plainly.

"I think I need to sit down Re..Profesor Lupin."

He grabbed her elbow and pulled them out of the elevator que and they sat down on an empty bench in the center of the elevator lobby. About a million thoughts were rushing through her brain right now.

"What will you two be teaching?" She asked him, trying to calm down.

"Well ole Snivelus, is going to go back to teaching potions, and yours truly will be teaching 4th -7th year DADA, and that old mutt Sirius will be teaching 1st-3rd year DADA. Dumbledore thought it would be better if there were two teachers so we could give more private lessons and tutoring."

"Oooh where can I sign up for that." She smiled at him her head was spinning less.

"Hermione, things are different now, you know that." He looked into her eyes, and smiled weakly.

"I understand, do you think Sirius will." She asked.

"I didn't even know you two shagged till you just told me. Although, if anyone would press the issue of student teacher relationships it would be him." He smirked at her. A small laugh escaped her lips. "We will just have to see what happens this year, hopefully everything will be above the board."

"Above the waist don't' you mean?"

"Ah, I've missed you Hermione. So where are you off to here?"

"I'm here to see Arthur, I'm staying at the Burrow right now it's just him and me. Molly and Harry, Ron, and Ginny are visiting Charlie." He raised an eyebrow at her. She wished he wouldn't have done that, she always thought he looked so handsome when he did, she loved his dusty hair and grizzled beard, and his scars made him look so rugged. He was very manly, and looked the best he had in ages.

"What a coincidence I'm here to see Arthur as well. Just a quick question for him. Shall we Miss Granger?" She rolled her eyes.

"Good Lord, don't call me that yet!" He stood up and held out his hand for her, she grabbed it and he pulled her to her feet. The got on the next elevator car, and headed off to see Arthur.

Arthur's office was a quiet one at the end of a corridor. They knocked before, they went in. Arthur was leaned over his desk shuffling through a pile of parchment. He looked up when they entered.

"Mione, right on time brilliant! Remus, how are you old friend? What can I do for you today?"

"Ah well nothing important Arthur, I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd pop in to see if we were still on for cards tomorrow night."

"Blimey I forgot all about that, it's at the Burrow this time too isn't it. Well what do you say Mione? You be okay with me and a couple of blokes playing cards tomorrow night?" He winked at her.

"Who are the couple of blokes?" She asked.

"Well there's Remus, Sirius, and Severus." Her jaw dropped.
