Chapter 2
Harry and Hermione apparated to Hogsmeade. They got into a carriage with Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore. "That was a lovely wedding," said Professor McGonagall.
They all agreed. Hermione stared out the window of the carriage to the scenery of Hogwarts. How she loved the castle, with the people and ghosts inside it. Well except for Snape and Peeves.
The carriage pulled up to the castle, Dumbledore got out and helped McGonagall out, and then Harry helped Hermione. "Thanks," replied Hermione. Harry smiled. She thought to herself about his wonderful smile that made her go weak at the knees. What a minute this is Harry Potter her best friend! She couldn't be having feelings for him. Or could she?
Harry and Hermione followed Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall up to Hogwarts. Halfway up there, a voice yelled, "Harry, Mione, hold up!"
The four adults turned around to see Ron, Lavender, and their children. "Will see you later Professors!" said Hermione. They nodded and headed up to the castle. Hermione noticed after Dumbledore and McGonagall left, that as they walked up to the castle, they held hands together. Even Dumbledore and McGonagall had someone that loved them.
"Uncle Harry, Aunt Hermione!" squealed Ron's oldest daughter, who was 7.
Harry picked her up and put her on his shoulders. "How is my God-daughter, Isabella?"
"Good," she giggled.
Ron's youngest two, Kelly and Bennet, slept in a stroller, as his other two, Armand and Gabriella, came running up to Hermione.
"Hey you two mischievous children!" she said. The giggled as Hermione picked both them up. "Come on let's head up to the castle."
They all headed up to the castle. The walked up to the doors and headed towards the Great Hall. It looked so different without the 4 house tables and the professor's table their. Their were hundreds of little tables with beautiful center pieces on them, with a huge area as a dance floor.
Music wafted throughout the room and Ron's children went running out onto the dance floor and started to dance. Ron, Lavender, Harry, and Hermione, laughed at the children.
"May I have this dance?" asked Ron to Lavender. Lavender's eyes lit up and she smiled at her husband. She took his hand and the walked out onto the dance floor. Hermione watched as they danced, they love they had for each other was so strong and so deep that it couldn't ever been broken.
Hermione sat down at her table with a glass of wine. A voice suddenly said, "Do you always look this depressed?"
Hermione looked up and saw Amanda, Professor Snape's wife. "Weddings always make me depressed."
"Why is that?" asked Amanda. Hermione just watched the couples dancing out on the floor. "Oh, I see. Hermione, your guy will come and sweep you off your feet, before you even know what hit you. Just like Severus did." She smiled at the thought of her husband.
"Who knew Professor Snape had a heart," said Hermione.
"He does," sighed Amanda, "You just need to put him in his place. Don't worry Hermione, maybe the guy your looking for is right in front of you." Amanda smiled at Hermione and patted her shoulder as she got up. Hermione then turned her attention back to the dance floor where she saw Harry dancing with Isabella. Harry loved her just as if she was his. He loved all Ron's kids, and all the Weasley children.
The wedding went on beautifully. Draco and Ginny left at the end of it and headed to America for their honeymoon. Also everyone else was staying at Hogwarts over night. Professor Dumbledore thought it would be easy on everyone.
After the wedding, Hermione stayed in her professor's quarters. She laid on the couch with a cup of tea. She then remembered her conversation with Amanda. Especially when Amanda said about the guy she maybe looking for being right in front of her. The thought quickly left her mind when she heard a knock from the door.
She slowly got up, and walked over to the door. When she opened it Lavender stood there. "Hey Mione!"
"Oh! Hello Lavender, would you, uh, like to come in?" asked Hermione.
"Well actually I was wondering if you would like to come out to Hogsmeade with Ron, Harry, and me?" Lavender questioned.
"Sure," said Hermione, "why not?"

Harry, Ron, Lavender, and Hermione headed to Hogsmeade. Madame Pomfrey was keeping watch over the children, but they shouldn't have been any trouble. They were all sleeping.
The four of them sat in Three Broomsticks having some butterbeers. It brought back memories of their Hogwarts' days. "So when does your classes start?" asked Ron to Harry.
"Huh?" asked a confused Hermione. She looked at Harry, Ron, and Lavender. "What do you mean classes?"
Harry sipped his butterbeer and then said, "I'm teaching here at Hogwarts. I swear I told you." Hermione looked more confused than ever. "I'm teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"When…when were offered the position?" stuttered Hermione.
"Last month," said Harry.
As Harry told Hermione that he was also working at Hogwarts, Ron smiled and winked at Lavender. She winked back.
