Hermionie's P.O.V

"Oh! Well, of course!" she said enthusiastically

"Here are my qualifications, and recommendations, and I have a few other things." I said frantically trying to wrap my head around the answer. I never thought it would be this easy.

"Hermionie, I know all of your credentials, no need to show me. You are more then qualified to be headmistress. Why would you want the job now anyway?"

"I love my job, but this is something I have always wanted to do." I answered, reminiscing of my time at Hogwarts.

"Ok then , I'll look over all of these papers, and send them to the ministry, you should be a shoe in." she smiled widely.

"Thank you Professor." I smiled back

"Now off to your family! There waiting, and tell everyone to enjoy the rest of the holiday."

I nodded and walked out of the door, down three flights of stairs and to the entrance hall. I let out a sigh of relief knowing I could go and tell the others I was most likely going to get the job. I walked all the way back to Hogsmeade with a smile on my face.

Lily's P.O.V

Dinner and celebration for the next few days was same old, same old. Scorpious and Albus were still not on speaking terms, and Benjamin still looked upset about his girlfriend. Although I cared about both of these things I was waiting for an owl from Tommy. I hadn't heard from him in a few days I was starting to get worried. I shrugged off the thought when my mom called me.

"Lily, it's after two o'clock! Go upstairs and get to sleep, it's Christmas in the morning!" she added with a smile. I rolled my eyes and got up from the comfortable lounge positioned next to the fireplace in the library, and said goodnight to countless people while making my way through the enormous house to my bedroom. I finally got there only to find Benjamin sitting on a chair next to my bed stroking an owl.

"This came for you." he said unenthusiastically

I took it from him and plopped down next to him.

I read the front of the envelope

"Lily Potter" It had a picture of a Lily drawn on it, just as the last on from Tommy did.

"It's from Tommy." I said nervously

"Open it!" replied Benjamin seeming to care a lot more now.

"Lily,

That sounds great. January second, that's the day before school starts, s it'll be one last thing I get to do before I have to go back there. Well, all I need is your address now, send me an owl back. And tell everyone I said Happy Christmas.

Tommy"

I threw the letter onto the far endge of my bed and I sprang up to grab some parchment and a quill from my desk. Although it was the twenty first century my family was still old fashioned, as is Hogwarts. I wrote neatly and carefully triple checking to make sure there were no spelling errors.

"Tommy,

Great, and my address is as follows ; Twelve Coraggio Court, London England. You'll find it. And if you think you can apparate here, you can't. There are spells and enchantments. You're better off going into town and finding another way here. See you soon.

Lily"

I folded us my response and shoved it into an envelope. Benjamin was staring at me, I almost forgot he was there.

"Is he still coming?" he asked

"Yup." I answered

"Okay then. We have to make sure Albus doesn't kill him, it's only one day what could go wrong." he said very seriously

My head exploded with ideas of them fighting, and hurting each other.

"Alright, well I'm going down to the owl room to send this, do you wanna come?" I asked

"I would be delighted." he smiled not looking as sad as he did when I first walked in.

We walked quietly down the halls of the enormous home passing doors that were ajar only to hear the snoring of almost everyone else in the house. We came to the owl room and I picked up Albus's owl and tied the note to him.

"Bring this to Tommy, okay?" I patted him gently and let him fly away

"So when's he coming?" asked Benjamin while rocking back and forth on his feet.

"January second." I replied promptly

He nodded his head "That gives Albus time to calm down." he said

I nodded this time.

"Well, time to go to sleep, or Santa will know we've been naughty." I smiled

"Oh, I totally forgot tomorrow was Christmas." he said his eyes growing wide. "I didn't get anything for my mom." he said nervously.

"Well lets go find something." I smiled. "And Benjamin, where was your mom when we went to Diagon Alley?"

"She went home for a while, she was looking at private muggle schools for my cousin." he said casually

"Okay, well what did you want to get her?" I asked

"I don't know, jewelry will do." he said the nervousness in his voice returning.

"Well, let's go then." I said while grabbing his arm dragging him to my room.

"Lily, you don't have to do this." he said

"Benajmin, shut up." I smirked "Take whatever you want." I said pointing to the large section of jewelry in my enchanted closet.

He went up and down the shelves for a while until he came across and ring and necklace set that still in its little golden box.

"You can take that." I motioned towards the one he obviously wanted

"Lily, I can't take this, it looks expensive, and you haven't even worn it before, and it's magical." he said sadly

"Don't be stupid, it's from the muggle world, my great aunt Petunia got it for me for a birthday. I don't like her husband much, he's nasty hates magical blood." I said remembering all of the dreaded visits to their home.

He lifted the top of the box to reveal a beautiful rind that was silver with white and black diamonds along two opened hearts, the necklace was the same

"Lily, this is nice, thank you so much." he smiled at me leaning in to give me a hug.

I hugged him back

"Look at all of this, I don't even wear half. If you ever need anything I'm here." I smiled back

"Now get out of my room and go wrap that, it's Christmas in the morning."

He gave me one last smile and made his way out of my room shutting the door behind him.

I awoke early the next morning, not being able t remember one thing I dreamt about. I walked over to my mirror and brushed my hair quickly and ran down the hall to Benjamin's room. I banged on the door repeatedly and he moaned "Lily, leave me alone."

"Get up! It's Christmas!" I screamed like a little kid. Christmas was always my favorite holiday. The house was warm and inviting, it seemed less empty when it was Christmas. Because my das inherited it from his father it had to be large. The Potter's were a large family, and all of the children had their own space, and the Potter's were also were generous letting people stay all the time. I ran to the left again passing vacant hangout rooms before I got to Albus's door and banged extra hard.

"GET UP ALBUS!" I screamed.

I continued down the hall and turned left and then right making it to all of the other guest rooms banging on every door.

Everyone finally made it downstairs and were sitting by the largest Christmas tree in the house, it was in the living room off of the kitchen. My mom was making breakfast and serving hot cocoa to everyone

" There are a lot of us, so take turns opening presents, and say who they're from. Victorie you can go first." said my dad calmly

She smiled widely and picked a large silver package from under the tree. She tore it open to reveal new boots made by some muggle designer called UGG.

"Thank you mum and dad." she smiled and set the boots in the corner of the room.

Benjamin picked up a package and opened it and he started a chain. No one could wait any longer all of us just started ripping open presents. When we were done books, clothes, school stuff, games, shoes, and other things were piled high. Benjamin's pile was exceedingly smaller then everyone else's. All of the wizarding parents were very respected and highly paid for their efforts contributions, and in the Malfoy's case, inside information from the second large wizarding war. Benjamin's mother was a manager at a local store in their muggle community, therefore she could not afford a lot of the wizard stuff. His face turned red as he noticed everyone else's piles. Now it was time for our gifts to each other. We all opened an assortment of weird things, I got books from Rose and Hugo, clothes from Victorie, Dominique, Louis, Roxanne, Fred. Albus got me a new quill that was made from a peacock feather, Benjamin got me new Quidditch gloves. James got me a digital camera, and Molly got me a new journal. I smiled and thanked everyone around the room, as did everyone else. We all got up to bring our things upstairs when Benjamin got up and walked towards his mother with the tiny box from last night held behind his back. We stopped putting our stuff back on the ground.

"I got this for you." he said quietly handing the little box to her.

She opened it and her eyes started to tear and she smiled.

"Thank you Ben." she said happily putting the ring on her finger, fixing her hair out of her gray eyes, then wiping them. He blushed and joined the rest of us in picking up our stuff but there was another interruption.

"Lily, Benjamin come here for a moment." said my mother sweetly.

We both looked at each other and walked towards them, putting our stuff down once again.

"We got you both something we think you'll really really love." smiled my dad

I was still confused on what we would both like. My mom disappeared for a quick moment and returned holding something obviously heavy behind her back.

"Close your eyes." she said in an enchanting voice.

We both did as we were told.

"Now hold out your hands." added my father.

Again we did as we were told and I felt something in my hands. But it couldn't be, when I opened my eyes, it was.

"Oh my god." I said while smiling and hugging my parents. Benjamin was still standing there with his mouth open and his eyes wide. We were both handed new Star Bright's. There was something else etched into the broom in fancy silver lettering, "Lily, Gryffindor house". I smiled brightly and noticed said his name and Ravenclaw.

"Mr. and Mrs. Potter, this is so amazing, but I can't take this. It must've cost a hundred galleons, you should give it to Albus.

"Shut up Benjamin." said my mother and father at the same time. I smiled and everyone else laughed. Benjamin's mother, Mrs. Hughes, walked over to my parents and hugged and thanked them with a big smiled on her face.

"Thank you." me and Benjamin both said smiling.

"Hey Lily." he said still smiling

"Yes Benjamin?" I said smirking

"I'll race you." he smiled

We both ran past everyone and to the backyard. When we got on to a smaller version of the quidditch pitch we kicked off of our brooms and hovered for a few seconds.

"Person who makes it around ten times the fastest, wins." I said coolly.

He nodded in agreemennt.

"I'll go first." he said

"Fine with me." I smiled. Getting off of my broom and going into the Quidditch storage room to get a stop watch with not a care in the world.

Later that day…

Harry's P.O.V

"Harry, yesterday the uhh-" stammered Benjamin's mother Tammy

"Muggle school?" I said

"Yes, the muggle school was very nice, expensive none the less, but it was also not very populated, five hundred kids at the most."

"Okay, doesn't sound to bad, but if Hermionie does get the job at Hogwarts we should be okay. But if she doesn't, then I don't know what else to do." I said wearily

"I know, it's a good choice. And it's also a boarding school so they would be away majority of the year. Let's hope it doesn't have to come to this though" she said looking up at the sky light.

"I would hate to have to pull everyone out of Hogwarts, no quidditch, potions, transfiguration, defense against the dark arts. I honestly don't know wht they would do with themselves."

"I know, but it's for the best. I'll go tell Ginney." she said walking out of my office, down the hall and to the left. I put my head in my hands and started to think of life for them in muggle school. When they were younger and they didn't know anything we still sent them to a magical elementary school. Unless we catch the person behind everything, then their Hogwarts days will be over.

Lily's P.O.V

My broom rode like a champ. It was as if it could read all of my thoughts, and knew my desire to go fast. After mine and Benjamin's little race I went upstairs leaving my broom in the quidditch storage room to go upstairs put all of my things away and shower. When I finished my shower I braided my hair, got dressed and did my make up for Christmas dinner.

*DING DONG

"I'LL GET IT!" screamed my mom through the house.

I rushed downstairs to see who it was considering everyone was already here. It was Teddy and his grandmother Andromeda. I walked down the stairs and got a better look at Andromeda's eyes, she didn't look well.

"Andromeda, Teddy, come in." smiled my mother as if she was expecting them.

"Hi Teddy." I smiled

"Hi Lily." he replied

"Jame's will bring your things upstairs and show you to your room." said my mother giving him a small smile. James came not a second later lifting up Teddy's many things.

"I can help James." he said laughing as James was stumbling up the stairs.

"No, no, I can do it." he said sternly

I hid a smile and noticed everyone else had gathered around the movie room door to my left. I walked to join everyone and noticed the weird looks they were giving Andromeda. When they retreated into the room and onto the leather couches I noticed Scorpious was no where to be seen.

"What's she doing here?" asked Hugo.

"No idea." replied Louis.

"Me ezer." added Victorie

Rose, Roxanne, Dominique, Albus, Molly, Lucy just looked at each other.

"I dunno, but did anyone noticed how ill Andromeda looked? Or that she didn't have any luggage, and Teddy looked to have packed his entire house into all of his luggage. James was struggling, and it was only two bags." I said quietly

"Must've been enchanted." said Rose looking curious

"It is weird, normally they don't come until New Years…" said Fred trailing off into thought

"Let's just finish the movie." said Albus looking nervous.

Everyone returned their eyes to the gigantic screen suspended from the ceiling. The door creaked open.

"Lily, Albus, can I talk to you for a minute?" said a voice coming from behind the door

We both rose slowly and walked towards the door. It was my dad.

"Come here." he motioned to where he was standing, and then walked up the stairs. We both obeyed.

He led us into his study.

"I have something to tell you two." he said fixing everything onto his desk so it was perfect.

"Andromeda has asked me if Teddy could live here, permanently." he said sounding very sad.

"Why?" asked Albus

"Well…..Andromeda has grown ill, and she is going to…..well, die soon." he said shuddering

"Oh my god." I said whimpering and I just nodded and agreed that It was completely fine.

"Oh." said Albus

"Yes, so Teddy is going to be taking the room on the third floor down the hall and across from Lily's. It's not used for anything. We honestly have more room then we know what to do with. I'm even considering letting-" he stopped sentence. "Well, that's not important. Just make Teddy as comfortable and welcome as you can." he said

We nodded and walked out of the study together.

"I'll get Teddy." I said

"I'll go pick a funny, or happy movie." said Albus wearily

We parted ways and I continued down the hall, took a left then another left, passed my room, then went outside Teddy's room. I knocked three times.

"Teddy, can I come in?" I heard the door unlock so I proceeded in. He was sitting on the plush full-sized bed in the middle of the room.

"We're watching a movie downstairs, do you wanna come?" I said with a forced smile on my face.

"Yea….Sure." he said obviously sadly.

We walked out of the room together and proceeded to the movie room together.

The next few hours were the most awkward of my life. Everyone was being weird towards Teddy, giving him little reassuring looks, as if he needed those. What he needed now was to try and forget but that wasn't going to happen. It seemed as if no one would let him forget

Dinner was silent, unlike usual, until my fathers cell phone rang. He took it out of his pocket to check his called id, he had a muggle phone because his position in the ministry.

"Excuse me I need to take this." said my father instantaneously

Everyone stared at him as he got up from the large dining room table that was just conjured to accommodate all of us.

"Oh, Hello Dudley." we heard echo

Harry's P.O.V

"Dudley, what is it?"

"Harry, it's Stephanie."

"Yes, what's wrong with her?"

Stephanie was Dudley's daughter

"Well…..I think she's…"

"Just spit it out Dudley! I have family waiting for me!" I said a tad to rude

"Well, I think, she's, well, a witch…"
