Lavender and Parvati walked into the hospital. A tall man with vibrant red hair was arguing with the witch behind the desk. She rolled her eyes and stood up. "I win!" called the boy. The two girls grinned at the sound of the familiar voice.
"RON!" they yelled. He spun around dot face a hug from each girl.
"Hey," he said. "What brings you here?"
"We're coming to visit my uncle. He got a bad snake bite," said Lavender.
"What're you doing here?" asked Parvati.
"I work here," Ron said. "Oh, shit, I forgot to change!" He waved his wand and was suddenly in the hospital robes of pale blue. A silver trimming adorned it.
"So you accomplished becoming a Healer?" asked Parvati.
"No need to sound so surprised," Ron said, glaring at her.
"Who wouldn't be?" asked the pretty young witch that had just vanished. She handed him a vile.
"HANNAH ABBOTT!" exclaimed Lavender.
"Hey guys," Hannah said. "Go work, Ron."
"I've got to bring this potion to Arnold Carter," Ron said. "You can come."
"That's who we're coming to see," Parvati said.
"He's my mother's brother," Lavender said.
"This way then," Ron said. He led them through the white doors of St Mungo's waiting room to a hallway filled with doors. One of them opened and a girl with wavy brown hair came out, carrying a basket of bed sheets.
"Mione?!"
"Hey!" squealed Hermione. She hugged her two friends.
"You're a nurse?" asked Lavender.
"Yeah, I thought you owned a book store!" Parvati said.
"Well, they're short a few nurses so I'm helping out. As for my store- Marauder's Books- Remus, Sirius, Ara, and Aimee are looking after it. Besides, end of August and I'll be setting up MY Transfiguration room at Hogwarts!" Hermione said happily.
"That's so cool!" Lavender said.
"Ron's going to take over for Madame Pomfrey," Hermione said. "She and McGonagall have had their turn at Hogwarts."
"Come on, we've got to get this to your uncle," Ron said. Hermione followed them up to the second floor where they found Ginny carrying towels to the third floor.
"It's great to see you," Ginny said, hugging them.
"Helping out?" asked Parvati.
"Yeah," Ginny said smiling. "I get to be librarian at Hogwarts for a year though. By then they should have another one and I'll get Flitwick's job."
"God, is everyone going to work there?" asked Parvati.
"Yes," said Draco. He was leaning on the doorway of Arnold's room. "Thanks for the towels." Ron gave Arnold the potion and sat down to rebandage his arms.
"What are you going to do?" asked Lavender.
"Snape's training me to be potions master. He's going to open a shop in Hogsmede," Draco said. "Arwe-"
"Arwen can tell them her own news," Arwen said. She stood there in a nurse's uniform as well. "I'll be teaching Muggle Studies."
"And guess who's going to teach Herbology?" asked Hermione.
"Who?"
"Neville Longbottom," Harry's voice said. He hugged the two girls and kissed Ginny. "I'll be teaching defense as the four lovers will be running the book shop."
"Ruining is more like it," Hermione said.
"Rope up, Watery," Draco said. She rolled her eyes at him.
"Stop quoting the seven habits," Hermione said.
"Serpent, she's right," Ron said.
"Bloody annoying," Harry added.
"Anyways, Dumbledore as his ghost self will be headmaster," Hermione said.
"I love knowing things my dear fiancé Seamus does not," Parvati squealed.
"Here's some more, Cho is going to take over for Madame Hooch!" Ginny said.

"I would like to welcome you all to another fine year at Hogwarts," said Dumbeldore, floating above his usual chair in the Great Hall. "I am sad to say that many of our teachers have retired or found new positions. However, I am pleased to add quite a few new teachers to our staff.
"Madame Hooch has left to train the Chudley Cannons. Here to take her job is Madame Chang." Applause went through the hall as Cho waved. "Madam Pince has as well left. She's been hired by the Ministry as their new librarian. Miss Weasley will be in her place for a year. Then Professor Flitwick has said he shall also depart and Gin- Professor Weasley will take over the job."
The new teachers grinned at the headmaster's mistake of addressing Ginny by her first name.
"Professor McGonagall felt her time was done here and Professor Granger will be handling our Transfiguration department." Applause. "Madame Pomfrey has also left and Ron Weasley will be our school's Healer. He wishes to be called Ron and nothing else." Applause was made for Ron as well.
"Professor Snape is training Professor Malfoy to take over his job once Professor Snape has his potions shop in Hogsmede." A loud cheer rang through the hall. "Professor Rivenport will be head of Hufflepuff as Professor Sprout leaves her jog to Professor Longbottom. Professor Rivenport is our new Muggle Studies professor."
"And finally, with great sorrow we had to say good-bye to our Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers," Dumbledore said. Groans filled the hall.
"Where did the blokes go?!" called seventh year Dennis Creevey.
"To run a book shop!" answered six voices. They grinned.
"Okay..." Dennis said.
"But Professor Potter has taken over the position and will also be head of Gryffindor." Cheers rang through the hall.
"I'm sure you noticed these new staff members contain the six lead dancers from the original Hogwarts dance company Rivendell Dancers. They will be leading our dance company from now on as Madam Viller has gone to teach for the International Dance Academy." Cheers rose the loudest at this time.
"Please welcome our new professors once again!"
But as Dumbledore said this Filibuster's Fireworks went off everywhere. They formed four words in the center of the Great Hall.
The Marauders Are Back!
The six friends high fived.
