(A/N) Part 3! That took long! I was busy with other fanfics, ones that I'm not going to update anytime soon until I'm sure I'm not going to throw them away, but I know, it's no excuse not to write on... Sorry about that! And I've been sick...
Disclaimer: All of this belongs to one brilliant woman who goes by the name Joanne Rowling. I don't write for profit.
Warning: Slash in the later chapters, language, dirty talk, mentions of abuse, angst, that kind of stuff. No lemon though. I fail at that.
As for the story: in this chapter the friends become teachers and the minister's being an arse. Furthermore? Nothing much. Just read and review because I'm still a newbie!
Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan weren't quite sure what in the world was going on. All that they knew was that their dorm mates were suddenly married/father/married father/absolutely awesome/all of said before. Now, they can't all be like Hermione-smart, but they weren't stupid either and knew something was off the hook. Add to the mix that a Weasley married a Malfoy and you get complete chaos. What Loony and Longbottom were doing together was also a question that left much to answer for.
Lavender and Parvati were also wondering what was going on. First you have Potter, who gets a wife and a child in one day. And now he's suddenly the new Headmaster. While they secretly thought he was quite a catch nowadays (have you seen those abs?) they were also wary of his plans and what was going on.
All of the other students were simply going mad. What was going on? What the fuck was happening? No-one, not even the professors, seemed to know. Well, except for the new Malfoy-couple, the Potter-couple, the Weasley-couple, the Longbottom-couple and that cute little guy that Potter called his 'godson'. Whoever made Potter the godfather of his child should be checked over.
"Minerva, please, can you at least tell us a little bit about what is happening at Hogwarts?" Dumbledore asked, almost begging.
"I'm afraid I can't, Albus. I gave my word that I would keep school matters within the confines of Hogwarts." Minerva said, almost sour that Potter hadn't talked with the true headmaster yet. "I must say I'm surprised to hear he hasn't contacted any of you."
"I shall write Ginny about this. Marrying a Malfoy!" Molly sniffed, her voice wavering at the thought already. "It must be some trap."
"The Dark Lord is most displeased with Draco." Severus snapped. "It seems that the only ones who know what's going on are the teenagers themselves. Do you have a list of who is going to replace me?" Severus asked, worriedly.
"I can't." Minerva sighed. "I told you!"
"For the moment, it seems all we can do is wait and see what happens." Albus sighed. "And Arthur, Molly, you could write to your children if you'd like...?" Molly nodded her head, even though Arthur was thinking about the whole situation. He knew that something was off and he wanted to know what, why and how. Of course, his wife wouldn't quite agree to that. She'd demand answers and forced herself onto her children. He knew that for sure. He was only hoping that the kids would read his letter to them too, as he had to know what in the world was going on...
"Look over there, Forge." Fred pointed at the couples.
"It seems that they're are quite a few changes, Gred." George says.
"Now, do my eyes deceive me?"
"Then they're deceiving mine as well!"
"Malfoy with our baby-sister!"
"I wonder what mother has to say."
"She'd probably wouldn't be too pleased with that."
"Not pleased at all Gred!"
"Right you are, Forge."
"Oh shove it you two." Hermione rolled her eyes. "Besides, we're talking over here. Harry, how's Latanya and the kid?" Hermione enquired before grabbing a piece of toast and buttering it, ignoring the scowl from Ron who wanted said toast.
"Nathaniel's already floating toys around, little devil he is." Harry smirked. "And Latanya is a bit tired but I think she's doing great." He said with a loving smile.
"Look over there!" Ginny pointed. "I bet it's mum's!" She said when the howler was brought into Hogwarts.
"Oh sweet Merlin." Ron groaned. "We're dead meat." And that they were.
"RONALD AND GINEVRA WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU GO AHEAD AND MARRY SOMEONE?! I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU TWO! UNLESS YOU DIVORCE YOU'RE NO LONGER WELCOME AT YOUR HOME! AND YOU, HARRY, I THOUGHT YOU HAD MORE COMMON SENSE THAN THAT! GETTING A GIRL PREGNANT AND MARRYING HER AT THIS AGE? HOW IRRESPONSIBLE AND STUPID YOU MUST BE! I AM DISGUSTED WITH ALL THREE OF YOU! ESPECIALLY YOU, GINNY! A MALFOY? IF YOU DON'T STOP THAT MARRIAGE IMMEDIATELY, I WILL TAKE PROPER ACTIONS AGAINST YOU TWO!" the Weasley matron shrieked and then the howler ceased to exist. The friends were silent for a little while and then they shrugged.
"If that's all she can throw on us." Ginny said.
"Can you pass me the eggs, Mione?" Ron asked and Hermione did as told.
"I want another wedding." Luna suddenly said. "We could all get ourselves another wedding!"
"Eh, are you sure, Luna?" Neville asked, frowning.
"It sounds like a great idea!" Draco exclaimed. "What do you think about it, Gin?" He asked.
"We should definitely do that." Ginny nodded happily. "But only after the whole commotion is done."
"Yeah, with the new teachers, stuff like that..." Hermione nodded, agreeing. "Then we'll see." The look in her eyes, though, warned Ron to save up some money to get a wedding together.
"So, whose going to fill in the new positions for librarian, flying instructor, Potions teacher, History teacher Astronomy teacher, DADA teacher and Arithmancy teacher?" Luna asked.
"Well, Neville's going to do History, for one. I think Hermione would do perfectly well as librarian..."
"No, Latanya should do that." Hermione interrupted Harry's thoughts. "Then she'd have plenty of time for Nathaniel." She said.
"Good idea." Harry nodded. "Ginny would do well as flying instructor, Hermione seems to kill me if I don't give her the Arithmancy part and I guess that Draco would like the Astronomy job...?" Harry smirked.
"Hell yeah." Draco smirked.
"Good idea, Harry-kins." Ginny nodded.
"Then I know just whom I'm going to put in for DADA." Harry said. "Seeing as Luna's going to do Potions..."
"No." Ron said immediately, noticing where this was going. "I will not be teaching Defence. We both know what happened- OUCH! Mione, what you do that for?" He groaned as his wife's elbow makes contact with his stomach.
"Ron, you're the best for the job." Hermione flashes him a smile. "Don't you dare disagree."
"Fine." Ron sighed, throwing his hands in the air. "I'll do it."
"Now we've established that," Harry smirked, "It seems we'll have to sit at the teachers' table from now on." That was met with groans from all parties involved.
"Harry." Latanya smiled tiredly at her husband. "How's things going?"
"Very well Lat." Harry smiled, giving her a kiss on her nose. "You look quite different. Short hair, you know." He smirked.
"The only thing that changes over the years." Latanya giggled.
"It suits you, though." Harry said, his hands going through her shorts locks. She blushed.
"Thanks. I think so too." Latanya nodded and shifted Nathaniel in her arms. "Do you want to hold your little devil?"
"So now it's my little devil?"
"If he does something stupid, Nathan's your son. If he's doing something great, he's my son."
"Women." Harry rolled his eyes with a lopsided grin before taking his little baby in his arms.
"So what are the plans?" Latanya asked.
"You're going to be the librarian." Harry told her. "The rest have their own spot. They're planning another wedding, so that we also have a wedding in this time." Harry smirked. Latanya's eyes started shining immediately. "Enthusiastic much?" He grinned. Latanya rolled her eyes and smirked to herself.
"So, Potter, we haven't seen anything white or sticky in a few days." She said, a grin on her face. Harry raised an eyebrow. "It seems to me that the world is now unbalanced. We should all be balanced, of course." She continues, her hand going through her hair.
"Yes, of course." Harry nodded immediately. "Especially now that your body is a virgin and we have a son together. That's shamefully, don't you think?"
"But of course it is, Mr. Potter. So, what are we going to do about it?" Latanya pretends to think about it.
"I've got an idea!" Harry smirked. "I'll be bringing Nathan towards his bed and put a silencing charm on it..."
"And then...?" Latanya purred. Harry smiled lustfully.
"Then I'll show that body of yours what grownups do with it." He said softly and Latanya almost pounded on him. Harry grinned before walking towards Nathaniel's crib. "Now do be silent Nate, give mommy and daddy a bit of practice over here." He whispered and then he casted a few silencing charms before returning towards his beloved wife.
"That..." Latanya said, out of breath. "Was really nice."
"Think so?" Harry smirked, pulling her closer towards him. She nestled within his arms, her head resting on his chest.
"I know so." Latanya muttered, falling asleep.
"Hello students of Hogwarts!" Harry smirked the next morning, standing up from the Headmaster's chair. "Due to unforeseen circumstances, Miss Umbridge had to leave Hogwarts. I can assure you that she won't be returning." He told the students who started clapping immediately, if what confused. "Yes, I had a feeling you'd all like that bit of news." Harry smiled. "I'm sure you've all heard the rumours about me being the new Headmaster... well, as you can see that is quite accurate."
"That's preposterous!" Someone yelled.
"Five points from Gryffindor for talking out of turn!" Harry snapped and indeed, the points were being taken. Everyone quieted down. "Now, there are more changes. Such as the marriages between Ginevra and Draco Malfoy, Hermione and Ronald Weasley, Luna and Neville Longbottom and, of course, me and Latanya Potter." He told the students. "As I'm quite sure it also reached your ears, I am the very proud father of Nathaniel Potter. Should any of you have the splendid idea to find a way to hurt the baby, be assured that I'll ensure you'll be having a very pleasant time with Mr. Filch, who has quite a few detention forms from the old ages." He said happily. "Apart from that, you'll see that Madam Pince, Professor Vector, Professor Sinistra and Professor Hooch have left Hogwarts. Now, in replacement for Madam Pince, we have Latanya Potter, the replacement for Professor Vector is Hermione Weasley, the replacement for Professor Sinistra is Draco Malfoy and the replacement for Professor Hooch will be Ginevra Malfoy. The DADA instructor spot goes to Ronald Weasley. Despite the age differences, you must all respect them as they are now your Professors. Professor Snape has also left us, as has Professor Binns. Luna Longbottom will be teaching Potions whereas Neville Longbottom replaces Professor Binns." Harry told them. "As for Head of Slytherin House, that'll be Draco Malfoy." Harry added and smiled to the students. "Soon there will be more changes, but this is it for now. Enjoy your meal." He said and sat down.
"Harry, do you think they'll take us seriously?" Hermione whispered towards him.
"Of course not!" Harry said, smirking. "That's why you've all got to be really strict towards them. Stand your ground and you'll earn their respect soon enough. We've all taught people before, haven't we?" Harry asked and the others agreed.
The students had no idea what was going on, but Susan Bones immediately vowed to herself that she'd write her aunt about the whole ordeal. Perhaps she'd understand what was happening.
The Minister of Magic was furious. What did that Potter boy think he was doing? Hogwarts was supposed to be in his hands, not in that attention-seeking liar! Pacing through his office he was wondering what he'd do now. He needed help from his right-hand man, Lucius Malfoy. And he needed it now.
Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but it seemed that Malfoy Sr. had some troubles with a certain other lord that required his immediate attention. And if he was done with those problems his body would suddenly be very sore and his throat hoarse from 'screaming'. Somehow, Fudge thought it had to do with the fact that his son might've teamed up with Potter.
Malfoy knew very much it was because of Draco's treachery, but then again, he couldn't very well explain that, now could he?
Molly Weasley was pacing in the living room, waiting for a reply from her children. She knew they'd beg her for forgiveness, to find a way out of those faked marriages. They'd stay with her for a very long time from now on. Molly thought about the punishments she'd give them when an owl flew in.
"Ah, Hedwig, give me that letter right away." Molly scolded at the owl of the influence that probably came with the whole marriage idea. They must've married someone just so Harry Potter wouldn't look bad with his marriage. The marriage to cover the whole baby thing. Molly opened the letter before Arthur could warn her it was a red envelope – a howler.
"Hello Molly." She heard the pleasant voice of Harry Potter. Molly scowled. "Such a pleasant letter of yours, though I should warn you that you must stop these at once. They might give your heart some troubles later in life. Besides to that, I must also inform you of the fact that insulting the Lord of an Ancient and Noble House while you are the Lady of an Old House, might get you into some real trouble. Especially when you insult the Heir and the Lady. Things normally don't tend to look too good for you." The voice continued talking, making Molly pale. "While normally I wouldn't bother informing a Lady of this because I'd be too mad to actually give said person time to apologize until they had no voice left – mostly because said Lady should know better as an adult and because you should know the responsibilities that come with some actions – your children happen to be under my care. Therefore I'd like to make an exception for you. Talking about said children, Lady Weasley, here they are."
"Molly." Ginny's sugar-sweet voice came in, making Molly shiver. "If you ever insult my husband, my brother or my Lord again, I shall do everything within my power to make you suffer." Her icy voice did more to Molly than her mother's screaming ever could.
"Hello Molly, the same goes for me, along with the fact that Draco is a very decent man and I won't stand for what I do when you insult my brother-in-law again. Goodbye."
And then the howler ended, with Molly crying in Arthurs arms.
