Chapter Seven:

HPOV:

"Hermione?" Min asked softly.

"How is my cousin here? How does she know about Hogwarts?"

"That's easy baby cousin. I am a witch. I graduated the year before you started here"

My head was spinning with this new information. True I never got to see my cousin Kaidyn except for Christmas and summer holidays but I just put that down to the fact that she lived 5 hours away from me and it was difficult to get there.

"I still can't believe this. How come my parents never told me?"

"Your parents aren't overly thrilled about being a part of our world Herm. They pretend because it makes you happy and they love you so much but I think it scares them to be honest"

That does make sense. They always seem to be overly cautious whenever I was home for the holidays but always made the effort to make me happy about being a witch.

"Oh" I whispered

"Anyway as I said I'm here to help you. I am a registered animagus and I can help you study and supervise your transformations when you are ready. I have a lot more free time than Minerva"

"Where will you stay?"

"I have a room at the three broomsticks and I can use the tunnel into the room of requirement when you wish to study"

This could be a very good thing for me. I have the best transfiguration professor and my favourite cousin supervising me for my thesis and transformation. I can do this!

"This is good" I said with a smile.

Kaidyn smiled back at me.

"Plus we get to spend a lot of time together"

"Which is always a good thing"

"Kaidyn can be here for your free periods that I'm on class. You are more than welcome to use this office, the one next to Albus, the room of requirement or your dorm room. I have gotten you a bag of professor's floo powder each that you can use in the castle to get from one place to another without being seen if you wish but if you are leaving the school I must be informed not that I will ever deny your request to leave it's just a formality"

"Ok Min" I said with a grin.

"Well I'll leave you to it" Kaidyn said standing up

"You don't have to go"

Min looked like she was about to say something but thought better of it.

"It's ok Herm. I will see you again real soon"

She hugged me and left. I turned to Min and pulled her into a hug.

"How was your first day my love?"

"It was great. I still can't believe this is my final year. I'm going to miss this place when I graduate"

"I was going to wait to talk to you about this but this seems a good a time as any. When you graduate I will be becoming the full time headmistress and that leaves the transfiguration position open I was wondering if you would be interested in applying for the position"

"Is that what this internship is for?"

"Yes it is. I would love to have you on staff so we can see each other all the time"

"I would love to apply"

"Have your application in as soon as possible"

"I will"

I took the parchment she gave me before rolling it up and putting it in my backpack.

"If I'm being honest it's kind of already yours seeing as I hire and fire all staff here as soon as I become full headmistress and I'm pretty sure Albus would hire you anyway"

I reached up behind her neck and pulled her face down to me before passionately kissing her. This day just keeps getting better and better
