Chapter Four

When Hermione got up that morning, she felt quite refreshed and couldn't wait to teach her 1st class, even though technically it wasn't. She had a shower, got dressed and found Draco waiting for her sitting on the sofa. He looked tired, he obviously hadn't had a good night sleeping on the sofa, it probably wasn't that comfortable.

"Good morning. Are you ready to go down?"

"Yes. I just want to start teaching, this is really exciting!" Hermione beamed.

They walked down to the Great Hall and took their respective seats at the teachers table. As Hermione walked down all the Gryffindor's said hello and asked how she was as though nothing had really changed. As it so happened, Professor McGonagall was waiting until she was here to tell everyone what had happened. She stood up after everyone had eaten and called for attention.

"Good morning students. I have a small announcement to make regarding one of your Professors. As you can all see Professor Granger is back and has made a full recovery, however when she awoke it appeared that she has lost all her memories of the time she has been working here with us. So, I would like to ask that everyone respect that she may not be the same as she was when you last saw her. She probably won't remember anyone's names, so please be patient while she tries to remember them. I've just remembered, I have one other announcement to make. Professor's Zabini and Weasley are both back from there personal time, but won't make any of their morning lessons. That is all, you can all go to your first lessons. Have a good day," and she sat back down and watched her students as they dispersed.

Hermione took this chance to have a look around at some of the students to see if it triggered anything, but unfortunately it didn't and some of the students looked at her sympathetically which made her think that maybe they liked her.

Draco just watched his wife as she peered around the room and then realised it was time for them to start teaching.

"Where do I teach?" Hermione asked as they left the hall.

"In McGonagall's old room. You remember where that is right?"

"Yeah. And all my lesson plans are in there?"

"That's what McGonagall told me," Draco replied as he went to walk towards the dungeons, but Hermione stopped him.

She pulled him around and gave him a surprising hug.

"Thank you. I don't know what i'd do around here if you weren't there to help me," she smiled and then continued towards her classroom near the courtyard.

Hermione's first lesson was with the 3rd years. Gryffindor's and Hufflepuff's. They were all sitting at their desks and stopped talking immediately when she walked into the room.

"Hello. Just give me a couple of seconds while I find out what you are doing today and then we'll get started. I suggest you take out your books and some parchment and quills," and she went to her office behind her desk and found her lesson plans for that day on the desk in there.

The third years were learning how to make an inanimate object turn animate. As she entered the classroom again she flicked her wand and the basic information about this particular spell appeared on the board for them all to copy down.

"Please copy what's on the board and when you are finished turn to page 245 in your books and read that chapter," she said as she sat down at her desk. On here she found seating plans with each student's name on, so she could tell who was who. She was studying her lesson plans for the rest of the day, when she realised she had given them the half hour she meant to give them to finish what she had given them.

"Okay class. I am going to ask you some questions to make sure you understand what you just learned. What is the incantation for this spell?"

A few students put their hands up, so she used her seating plan to pick someone.

"Yes, Miss Clarke, what is the answer?"

"Ápsychos émpsycha."

"Correct, 5 points to Gryffindor. Now can someone show me the correct wand movement for this spell?"

Again several hands went up in the air, so she consulted her seating plan again.

"Mr Barrett, please stand so everyone can see," and she gestured for him to come to the front.

He left his seat and once at the front used his wand to make a quick figure eight in the air and then a jab in the middle. Then he went back to his seat in the second row with some of the other Hufflepuff's.

"Correct, 5 points to Hufflepuff."

And the rest of the lesson continued this way and as it was a double lesson, she had them perform the spell on plastic cups for the last half an hour.

Hermione then had another double lesson, this time with the 2nd years. After she had finished this lesson, it was time for lunch, so she put all the things that needed to be cleared away in their proper places and went to the Great Hall. Once there, she found many students staring at her as she made her way to the staff table. Just as she was about to go up the few steps to the table the girl from her 3rd year class that morning came up to her with a couple of her friends.

"Professor Granger, we just wanted to let you know that we are glad you are back and that if you need anything we are here to help."

"Thank you girls. Is it Miss Clarke? Yes? It is nice to meet you again and I will make sure if anything comes up you three will be the first to know," she smiled at them as they made their way back to the Gryffindor table.

Hermione made it to the staff table and sat down next to Draco and started to eat a ham and cucumber sandwich.

"What was all that about then?" Draco asked referring to the girls.

"They wanted me to know they are glad i'm back and if I need anything to ask them," she answered with a smile. It was nice to know the student's cared about her.

Hermione took this opportunity to look down the staff table to see if the other absent professor's were here, but they weren't. And from the looks of it, they taught arithmancy and astrology, because she couldn't find those particular professor's that used to teach those subjects. As she was glancing down the table a Slytherin first year was making his way towards where she sat and when she looked up, she saw Draco glaring at the young boy.

"Professor Granger? I was wondering if I could have a word?" he asked as he reached the table.

"No, you can't Harley. You had your chance to apologise to me and you didn't take it, so get out of my sight," Draco spat at the boy.

Hermione looked at him shocked that he would treat a student like that and turned towards the cowering boy.

"Of course you can talk to me. Ignore him," she smiled warmly at him. "What is your name?"

"Thomas Harley, Professor. I wanted to apologise. I was the one that cursed you, but I swear I didn't mean to. It was an accident. I was aiming at my friend Jake, but he ducked and I got confused and it hit you, but I don't know what the spell turned into because I don't know any spells like it. I'm really sorry Professor," he said and looked down at his feet.

"That's okay Thomas. I'm fine now and that is all that matters. As long as you don't do it again, because even if you use a spell against another student you will be punished, which is why you will have detention tomorrow with me. Be in my classroom at 8pm and I will see you there."

"But Professor I got detention for a week from Professor Malfoy!" he complained.

"I don't care if Professor Malfoy gave you detention, because he wasn't in a position where he should have punished you, it is mine, so you will be there or there will be worse punishments to come. I'm sorry Thomas, but you have to learn what you can and can't do," Hermione said with an apologetic look on her face.

When he had gone back to his table, with a scowl on his face, Hermione turned towards Draco who was still annoyed by Thomas's appearance.

"What did you think you were doing? You had your chance to apologise? He did not have his chance to apologise, because I wasn't there! And how dare you punish him for something that was not within your duty! That was my decision, not yours Malfoy. And why in Merlin's name did you speak that way to a student? And a first year at that!" Hermione whispered angrily to him.

He looked like she had slapped him in the face.

"I didn't know if you were going to wake up or not. He did something wrong and as his head of house I was well within my rights to punish him. Plus he not only injured a teacher, he injured my pregnant wife! Also, I can talk to pupils however I damn well like, you don't tell me how to do things. I love you, but I will not be told how to talk to students who need to be spoken to in a certain way to know they are doing wrong. I'm not hungry anymore, i'll see you later," and he left the Great Hall in a huff.

Hermione couldn't see how she was in the wrong there, he shouldn't have done what he did, but maybe she shouldn't have had a go at him about it. She would have to find him later, but right now she was hungry and finished her lunch before going back to her classroom and into her office to mark some homework. She had a free afternoon and wanted to spend it learning where everything was and read through all her lesson plans. She was starting to feel more like a teacher and less like a student herself and it felt great.

Later that evening, Hermione ate dinner without Draco, because he didn't show up and neither did the other 'missing' professor's. So, after she had eaten, she went to find his classroom in the dungeons to see if he was there. He wasn't in the classroom, but she could see the light under the door of his office, so knocked and entered to see him marking a stack of homework. He had a relatively small pile left to do, but on his other side were three huge stacks, that looked to be all the homework for every year.

"Malfoy, are you still mad at me?" Hermione sat opposite him in one of the chairs facing his desk.

"No, not really. Only because I know its not really my wife saying those things. It's Hermione Granger, the girl I lived to torment back in school. That's not to say that I wasn't hurt by what you said, so I suggest if you don't want an argument, that you leave and don't bother me for the rest of the evening," he replied with a slight scowl on his face as he remembered that lunch.

Hermione was a little shocked at his words, she had expected a fight, but he seemed to be restraining himself quite well considering what he had been like at school.

"I just wanted to apologise. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did earlier. I still think you should have spoken a little less bitterly at Thomas, but I understand that you were upset and angry. Just please next time, don't tell a student to go away, when first they were talking to me and secondly they didn't get the chance to explain themselves," she stood and turned to leave, but Draco caught her elbow and turned her around.

"I'm sorry. I was being out of line, but when it comes to something I love, I don't handle things with clear head. I'll try not to do it again, but i'm not promising anything," he smiled at her.

"By the way, I was meaning to ask you why do they call me Professor Granger? Don't get me wrong, it doesn't bother me, but I thought since I married you that I would be Professor Malfoy as well."

"That's because whenever McGonagall was trying to talk to the students about one of us, they would get confused as to which of us she was referring to. So, you opted to stay as Professor Granger at school only. When outside Hogwarts you are back to being Mrs Draco Malfoy," Draco replied as he pulled her out of his office and classroom.

They continued walking up to the entrance hall, and then proceeded to walk up to the fourth floor where their suite was situated, but Draco turned them into the corridor of the third floor before Hermione could even lift her foot for the next step.

"Where are you taking me?" Hermione asked a little bit scared.

Draco just grinned at her reassuringly, "You'll find out soon enough."

When they got to where Draco wanted them to be, he paused in front of a portrait of a very cute little pug dog. He scratched its head behind his left ear and the portrait swung forward to admit them to another suite. This one was decorated in Emerald Green and gold, very similar to Hermione and Draco's, but the colours were different. There weren't any photo's here either, so Hermione could only guess who resided in this part of the castle.

"Malfoy? Why are we here? Isn't this somebody else's suite? Should we really be here?" she asked as she stared around the room.

"I wanted you to meet some people. They should be here relatively soon. This is one of their suites and offered to see us in here. In the meantime, is there anything you've thought of you want me to answer today?" He sat on the sofa and motioned for her to do the same, which she did.

"When is my next scan for the baby?"

"Next Tuesday. It will be your 16 week scan. Anything else?"

"Yeah, what is going to happen when I have the baby? Where will it go and will I be able to still teach or will I have to leave?" She asked with a worried expression.

"I believe McGonagall said that she will add an extra room onto our suite so that you could stay here with me. And I think you will be doing part-time teaching, so that you can stay with the baby most of the time, but when you are working, I will have free periods. But we've got until May to really worry about any of that. So, don't fret," as he finished, the portrait door opened to reveal the two mystery people that they were supposed to be meeting.

One was Blaise Zabini, "Hello, Hermione. In case you were wondering, which you probably were, I am the Astronomy professor. And she," he gestured to the woman standing next to him, "is the Arithmancy professor."

Hermione wasn't that surprised to meet Zabini, as she was certain he was Draco's best friend. What Hermione was surprised about, was who the woman standing next to him was.

"Hello, Hermione. As Blaise said I am the Arithmancy professor, but also I am Charlie Weasley's wife," and Pansy Parkinson, of all people thrust her hand towards her.

A/N: Hope you liked it. The next chapter will be up soon i did promise to put it up today, so it won't be long.
