Hey everyone, here's the 3rd chapter to my story, thanks for the reviews. I
really enjoy them. Anyways keep reviewing, no flaming!
~*Disclaimer*~ Unfortunately I don't own any of the characters in this fic except for Deimos. Phobos and whatever other person I may make up. So sad, but I'll survive, somehow. = (
Chapter III
Mum, We miss you terribly. We've never been separated from you for such a long period of time. Even when we went to Beauxbatons you were a Professor there. I know you probably bored without your two little devils running around causing havoc. So on that note... mum I have great news! I've heard that Headmaster Dumbledore is looking for a new DADA teacher, it just so happens that the current DADA professor, Professor Castor, wants to settle into an early retirement and agreed to stay on only until they find someone to fill the position. Why don't you think about it! We'd love to have you as a teacher, mum. The mini concert for the start of term went off without a hitch, I hope you won't be sore about this, but we sang Thru It All as one of the songs. I thought I should tell you. It's such a beautiful song mum. Anyways we have to go, Jameson and Piper are being gits and won't leave us so we can make this letter longer. Hahaha they read that and now they mad!!! Well now we really have to leave so we can apologize! Love you!
Your loving children, Deimos & Phobos
Hermione wiped the tears from her eyes as she put the letter back in it's envelope. Her children knew her well. She missed them, she was not used to being away from them for so long. She thought about being a professor at Hogwarts. She smiled as she thought of all the memories she had created there. Lavender Weasly was the Divination professor there, it would be good to be able to talk to one of her best "girl" friends on a daily basis. She agreed with her children, she would write Dumbledore about the position immediately.
Professor Dumbledore, My children, have recently informed me of a position as a Defense Against Dark Arts professor that I am interested in. Please owl me, if the position is still open, as I would like to apply.
With immense gratitude, Your former student Hermione Jade Cemberdrake
She sent her letter by owl and anxiously awaited a reply. "maybe I should tell Deimos and Phobos that I have applied." she said to herself picking up a quill, immediately shaking her head and placing back down on the desktop. "no... I want it to be a surprise." she smiled as she thought up all the activities she would do.
(THE NEXT DAY, LATE AFTERNOON)
Hermione was ecstatic, she had been owled by Professor Dumbledore, and his letter simply stated:
Ms. Cemberdrake; I am happy to inform you that the position as Defense Against Dark Arts professor is indeed, still available. I myself was going to owl you to see if you were interested in the job. But I see that your children saved me the trouble. I would like you to start tomorrow if possible, you see Professor Castor is getting rather impatient. So I expect you here tomorrow morning ready to begin your new job.
Gratefully Yours, Professor Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts
As she finished the letter, she began to run around the house pulling out things to bring with her to Hogwarts. "I can't believe that I'm starting so soon. Good thing I began those lesson plans earlier or I would have nothing to do when I get there!" She looks at the bag she had packed. "One last thing..." she said as she walked over to her dresser drawer. Pulling it open she pulled out a worn picture and stared sadly at it. It was a picture of Draco and her at their happiest. They had gotten Colin Creevy to take the picture, obviously putting him under 'Obliviate' after it was developed. They were looking at each other and totally ignoring the camera as they kissed sweetly and smiled. "Oh, Draco... I miss you" she let a tear fall as she packed the photo at the top of her bag and set off to bed.
(THE NEXT MORNING) Hermione was in a rush, running around making sure that she had not left anything she would need while at Hogwarts. When she was sure that everything was taken care of, she flooed to Hogwarts to begin her first day.
She sat by Dumbledore's office waiting for him to appear. Looking at all the odd items that had been collected in his numerous years as Headmaster. "Hello Ms. Cemberdrake!" he said shocking her from her reverie. "Oh! Professor! You gave me quite a fright!" she said still trying to calm her heart rate. He smiled at her with his familiar twinkling eyes. "I'm so glad that you decided, to teach here. As you know you will be replacing Professor Castor as the new DADA professor. I have no doubt in your ability to teach so you may go up to the classroom now. You remember where it is, don't you?" he asked. "Yes of course professor, my memory is not that bad." she smiled as she walked away and down the halls to her new classroom. She began to set everything up for her classes. She was in the back room when she heard voices in the classroom. She would recognize those voices anywhere. "I heard that the new professor arrived this morning. Do you have any clue who it is?" said Piper Weasly. "No clue at all! I hope whoever it is, that they are nice. I was getting really tired of Professor Castor, he was always so crabby all the time! We've had him for 4 years already!" exclaimed Jameson. "Well, anyone is better that Professor Castor! He always seemed to smell of old socks or something of that sort. I thought that if I had to stay in another of his classes, that I would have passed out from the smell!" laughed Phobos. Deimos nodded in agreement, "but I wish mum had applied, she was always a brilliant teacher at Beauxbaton, it would have been great fun to have her as a teacher again."
Hermione smiled at that comment and stepped out of the supply room behind them. "And it will continue to be great fun, my dears, I promise." "MUM!!!!" yelled Deimos and Phobos, running to hug their mother. "Aunt Hermione!" exclaimed Jameson and Piper to hug one of their parents' best friends. She embraced them all happily and let them go will a wink as everyone began to file into the classroom.
She had started off with an exercise to learn everyone's names, declaring that she would begin killing them with homework tomorrow. As normal all of her students loved her, amazingly even the Slytherin students she had, liked her. Famished she rushed downstairs to the Great Hall eager to get food in her stomach.
Unfortunately for her, she wasn't watching where she was going. "Goodness, I don't remember eve being this hungry!" she thought aloud to herself. She turned a corner and WHAM!!! ran into someone.
Hermione quickly stands up dusting herself off. She stares at the man she ran into. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry for running into you like that! I wasn't paying attention to where I was going! Do you need any help?" She says hurriedly. "Oh no I'm fine, are you?" the man asks her. She takes the time to examine the man before her and gasps in shock... "Draco?" she says. He looks up at her and feels all of his feeling for her rushing back to him, unaware that she is experiencing the same thing. "Hermione Granger?" he asks amazed. 'She looks good.' he thinks to himself. She smiles as she says, "actually, It's Professor Hermione Cemberdrake." She watches as his smile slowly turns into a scowl, "Cemberdrake Huh? So what did you do? Marry into a pureblooded family and give his last name to OUR children? Oh and yes one more thing... when exactly were you planning to tell me of their existence?" by now Draco is fuming. " They are my children too Hermione! I would have liked to know them! Do they even know who their father is?!?!?! Do you even bloody care?!? Let me ask you something Granger, when in the 15 years we were apart did you become so bloody heartless?" By this point Hermione had turned her back to Draco to hide the tears that were currently streaming down her face. He steps out of his rage to look at her. 'Look what you've done now Draco! Smooth move!' he thinks to himself.
He takes a step towards her and places his hand in her shoulder. She angrily jerks away and spins around to face him in tears. "First of all MALFOY, no I did not marry into a pureblooded family and give their last name to our children, but they are both pureblooded as you are. You figure it out you bloody git, since I did nothing wrong and you're bloody mad if you think it's all MY fault that you never knew about them!" he stared into her eyes amazed that they changed from a purple color to the color of liquid silver. She continued to rant staring straight into his eyes, hers blazing. "You never even tried to contact me did you? NO! Never in 15 years! Remember the day that we broke up Draco? I was already 4 months pregnant by then! I was going to tell you that day, but after you basically told me that your ruddy reputation was more important than I was, how was I supposed to tell you that I was having your children?!? Huh! Oh! Maybe I could have just said, 'hey Draco I know you're a future deatheater but, hey I'm having your mudblood children!' And of course they know about you! I would never ever keep you from them! They've always been free to contact you, but they never seemed interested and I'm glad for that! Go to hell Malfoy, you bloody belong there." she finishes. She steps away and he tries to pull her back. She waves her hand and he flies across the corridor and slams into the wall. Hermione glares at him and continues on her way to the Great Hall dabbing at her eyes with her robe. Draco is left slumped on the floor thinking about all she had just said and wondering how she threw him off her without using her wand.
