CHAPTER 5
Hermione had now been teaching Transfiguration for two years now after the battle ended. She had accepted her father's offer of Head of House, which he now proudly told Gryffindor students. Today was lunch with her mother in her mother's old quarters which were now her own.
Minerva was waiting for her daughter noting all the changes her daughter had made, she looked over the photographs… Most were of family, Jean, John, Minerva, Poppy and Hermione in the middle. Others were with Hermione and the other members of the golden trio. She stopped at a photo on her daughter's desk. It was a picture of Hermione with her arms wrapped around Narcissa Malfoy, to say she was upset about the relationship was an understatement, but she had grown to accept it after a talking to from Godric. Their daughter was happy, had a partner, a job and was safe at the castle never far from her parents.
The younger witch entered her quarters watching her mother trace the frame around the picture of her and her girlfriend. "She won't bite." She teased causing her mother to snap back into reality.
"I know, sweetheart. Your father already talked to me about it when you first told us you were trying things out." Minerva sat down in her old chair and opened her arms for her now adult daughter who happily sat on her mother's lap.
Hermione rested her head on her mother's shoulder as she was held close. "Good, so I won't have to remind you that she lied to Voldemort and saved Harry."
Minerva sighed with a nod and kissed her daughter's hair. "I will try to be nicer to her." She promised.
2020.
Today was the day she would be standing down from being Headmistress of Hogwarts, Filius had retired a few years before so Hermione took up the deputy position and now was become Headmistress after her own children had graduated and her first grandchild was born. Minerva retired to spend more time with her family, each one of her grandchildren had been Gryffindors beside's having Narcissa Black as their other parent, but the woman made her daughter happy.
Now it was time for the ceremony in which Hogwarts transfers power from Minerva to Hermione. All the students had gone home for the summer and it was just the staff left. Minerva and Hermione were in the Headmistresses office with massive smiles on their faces.
"Let's go home and spend time with the family at the Manor." She told her mother with a smile before turning to the portraits of the past headmasters and mistresses. "Harry James Potter, Professor of Charms, will be my deputy." She told them firmly before turning back to her mother.
"Yes, Headmistress." Minerva teased her daughter before Hermione apparated them to McGonagall Manor where the family would spend most of the summer, and that is what they did. Hermione and Narcissa's children were grown their eldest had married and now had a daughter, their middle child was working at the Ministry and their youngest had just graduated school and wanted to take a year off, or study his mastery with his great-grandmother.
