Chapter 2: The Surprise

15 years Later

"Ron, Panamala, Alexia! Get your butt down here!" I yelled upstairs. It was the first day back to Hogwarts. Ron, my husband, and I worked there. I was the History of Magic teacher and he was the librarian. We had been married for 14 years and had 2 children.

Panamala, our oldest, was 14 and going for her 4th year at Hogwarts. She had long blonde hair ( her natural hair color was brown), she was tall and slim.

Alexia, our youngest, was 12 going for her 2nd year at Hogwarts. She had red hair to her shoulders, she was tall and slim.

"Mom, hold your wands. Gosh." Panamala yelled. Panamala and I always got into fights. It was a regular thing. Ron and Alexia came down stairs and put their bags down.

"Panamala Weasley, if we are late I will keep you back 2 years and make you be in the same year as your sister. Now get your ass down here." I yelled. She was down stairs in a heartbeat.

"Alright, gosh. Are you happy now?" she said.

"Don't take that tone of voice with me. Just because I'll be your teacher doesn't mean I can't punish. Do you understand me?" I said. She rolled her eyes. "And don't rolled your fucking eyes at me." I said.

"Sweetheart, don't curse. At least not in front of the children." Ron said.

"She probably does. I did when I was her age." I said. If you knew Ron and me when we were younger, you wouldn't believe how much he's changed. He doesn't cuss, which is really shocking because he used to cuss more than Harry and me put together.

"I understand mom. We go through this every year." she said.

"Can we continue this in the car? We are going to be late if we don't hurry up. I will be everything in the car with my wand." Ron said as I was just about to say something. He put everything in the car with his wand and we loaded into the car. As we drove Alexia talked about how excited she was and Panamala listened to her portable CD player. I listened to Alexia talk about Hogwarts and thought about the last year I was at Hogwarts.

Flash Back- 15 years ago in the Astronomer Tower

"Draco Malfoy stop it." I said laughing. It was midnight and Draco was tickling me. He shook his head and kept tickling me. He did this for another 5 minutes. When he stopped he held me in his arms.

"Hermione?" he said. I looked up into his beautiful grey eyes. The same grey eyes that got me to do anything he wanted me to. The same grey eyes I trusted.

"Yes?" I said. He took a deep breath and sighed.

"I love you." he said. I stared at him and smiled.

"I love you too." I said. He smirked and kissed me. When we pulled apart, I smiled. "I can't believe that a Malfoy has feelings. Especially for me. Muggle- born haters." I said and sighed.

"Hermione you know I don't hate muggle-borns. I never did. You know that." he said.

"I know. I just don't know how your dad is going to take it." I said sadly.

"I don't care how he is going to take it. Nothing could ever make me stop loving you. Nothing could ever take me away from you. I swear.' he said. I kissed him and I stayed in his arms for the rest of the night.

End of flash back

"Mom! Mom! Are you there?" Alexia said. I stopped daydreaming.

"Don't yell at me. What?" I said.
"I was wondering how your 2nd year was." she asked.

"Well, what Daddy, Uncle Harry, and I did was solve the mystery of the chamber of secrets." I said. She nodded. Harry and Ginny got married 10 years ago. Harry was the flying teacher and an aura part time. Ginny worked at the Leaky Cauldron. They had twins named Janise and Janet who were both 12. They had the twins before they were married.

When we arrived at Kings' Cross, Harry, Ginny, Janise, and Janet were right beside us. It looked like Harry and Ginny were having another fight.
We got out and ran to the platform. We went through the platform and got on the train. We seated Alexia with Janise and Janet and went to the front of the train. Panamala went with her friends Choga, Kawren, and Olola.

When we got to the front Harry was there. He was looking out the window. Ron and I sat facing Harry.

"Harry, what happened?" Ron asked.

"Ginny and I got in another fight. We have been fighting a lot ever since she told me that she was having an affair." Harry said still looking out the window. Ron and I were shocked.

"With who?" I asked. Ron looked at me and shook his head.

"Colin Cleavey." he said plainly. "For 5 years she was cheating on me. Half our marriage she was cheating on me." he started crying. I sat next to him and held him while he was crying.

It took 1 hour to get to Hogwarts. Harry cried himself to sleep. I meant to ask him if he was going to divorce her. I decided not to. I woke Harry up and we walked to the Great Hall. We sat down and waited for the 1st years to arrive.

After they were sorted Dumbledor made an few announcements.

"The Forbidden Forest is off limits to everyone. Detention we be given to students who break the rules. The Third Corridor is also off limits to anyone who doesn't want to die a painful death.

And now that that is finished, I would like you to welcome out new Potions master." Everyone looked at the door. In came a blonde hair man with grey eyes. I thought he looked strangely familiar. "Welcome Professor Malfoy." he said.
