"I can't believe I'm going to be a teacher." Harry said as they were flying home. "Yeah, I know how you feel. But there are two problems I can think of." Hermione said. "What are they?" Draco asked. " Well for one, we'll be working with Snape." Hermione said. "Easily avoidable." Ron sniggered. "Snape's not as bad as everyone thinks. He is very nice if you talk about stuff he's into. What's your other problem?" Draco asked. "Not mine. Actually, it's Harry's." Hermione said and Harry asked what she meant. "Quidditch. You have a responsibility to your team." Hermione mentioned and Harry smiled. "You think I haven't already thought of that. Well it just so happens, I have. We only have matches on weekends and practices from 5 to 7. Coach told me that I didn't even have to show up except on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays anyway. And unless they changed the rules, all classes except Astronomy end at four." Harry said. "Okay oh wise one, we get the point." Ginny laughed and Ginny flew under him, came up on the other side, and bumped him.
It was late when they returned, so Ron, Lavender, Harry, and Ginny stayed at Hermione's house again. When they woke up in the morning, Harry and Hermione went to Diagon Alley to get some supplies. They got new robes, quills, parchment, and other little things they would need. They stopped in Eeylops Owl Emporium to get Hermione her own owl, and Harry got a small owl, for speedy deliveries. Since he knew Hedwig would be jealous, he got her some owl treats. Then they went to Flourish and Blotts to get some books they might need. They also went to the local nursery so Harry got get some plant seeds and Quality Quidditch supplies so Harry could get a few things he might need. They also went to Ollivanders Wands to have there wands checked and cleaned. Finally, they bought a little Floo powder and went to the Ministry of Magic so Harry and Hermione could pick up some Animagus forms. After Harry found out how his Dad transformed, he talked Hermione and Ron into doing it as well. Hermione could turn into a auburn colored, tabby cat, with a mark in the shape of a book on her left side. Ron, could turn into a bat with red streaks threw his fur, and Harry could turn into an eagle, black circles around his eyes, like his glasses, and a streak on his head that looked like a lightning bolt. If they didn't register themselves and someone found out what they were, they could be fired, arrested, or both. They had to fill out the forms, make an appointment, and prove they were an Animagi. They did so and got their licenses.
It was 2:30 when they returned and there was a note on the door that said that everyone had gone out to lunch and they would return around three. "Well, let's find something to eat." Hermione said and headed toward the kitchen, setting down her packages in the living room as they went by. They made a vegetable soup-like dish and Harry said it was very good. It was after three when the four of them returned from lunch. Harry and Hermione started making sure they had everything that they would need for school. Draco and Ginny helped, while Ron and Lavender went to the stationary shop in town to look at wedding invitations. Harry and Hermione finished their checklist and were still lacking a few things, but they waited for Ron and Lavender to get back before they went shopping again. They returned about ten minutes later, with sample invitations. They all looked at the invitations and decided on one with fancy green lettering. They sent Ron and Lavender back to the stationary shop to order the invitations and the rest of them went to Diagon Alley. They shopped for almost an hour and decided to go to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink. Ginny volunteered to go get her brother and future sister-in-law, so they could join them.
Harry, Hermione, and Draco entered the Leaky Cauldron and found an empty table, big enough for seven. They had only been sitting there for only a minute when Harry heard a familiar voice. "Harry? Is that you? I haven't seen you for almost ten years." Harry smiled and turned around. "Well hello Oliver. How have you been? Come join us." Harry offered and pulled out a chair out for him. Oliver Wood came over to their table. He sat down in the chair, across the table from Harry, next to Draco. He didn't even notice who it was until he said hello to Hermione. "Malfoy? What are you doing here?" Oliver asked. "These two are engaged." Harry said, pointing a thumb at the two at the end of the table and rolling his eyes. Draco stuck hand out and waited for him to shake, "No hard feelings. About how I acted in school and all." Draco said. Oliver shook Draco's hand and said apology accepted. The three others arrived and they all talked about what they were doing now. "Well, I've been the seeker for Ireland for 5 years. And now I'm the new Herbology teacher and quidditch coach at Hogwarts. Hermione's the new Transfiguration teacher. Draco's the newest keeper for Ireland and works in the ministry. Ron is working with Ludo Bagman at the ministry. Lavender's a reporter and Ginny's a photographer for the Daily Prophet. What are you doing?" Harry asked. "You're going to be working at the school? I'll see you there then. I'm the Charms professor. So how are you all connected? I know about you," Oliver said and pointed to Draco and Hermione, "And you two." he pointed to Ron and Ginny, " And you three." and pointed to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, "But there's got to be another connection."
"First, weren't you there yesterday? Dumbledore introduced me and Hermione to the students." Harry asked. "No, I had to go to the ministry with a package from Dumbledore. It was too important to be sent by owl. He told me since I knew how to ride a broom, he trusted me to take it." Oliver said, looking smug. "Second, Ron and Lavender are engaged, and me and Ginny are also engaged, but you'll be at the weddings, or wedding. We're having it at the school, on May 23rd." Harry said. "Congratulations. All of you. I'll be there." Oliver said. They talked for nearly four hours about everything that had happened. They finally left around 10 o'clock and decided to go to their own homes for a change. When Hermione and Draco got home, they were so tired, they just pulled the maters out of the couch and slept downstairs, without even putting their pajamas on. Draco respected Hermione's wishes and just slept beside her, without getting to close.
