About a week later Hermione received a letter from Hogwarts. It was from Minerva McGonagall. Dumbledore had passed away and she was now headmistress. The letter told Hermione that Professor Flitwick was retiring and she wanted to know if Hermione would be the new Charms Professor. Hermione's eyes shone with excitement as she finished the letter.

"What is it Mommy?" Emma asked.

Hermione picked Emma up and placed her on her lap. "Emma," Hermione said, "How would you like to go live where Mommy and Daddy went to school?"

Yeah!" said Emma, excited. "But why?"

"I was offered a job there." Hermione replied.

"Okay." said Emma.

Hermione took Emma over to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley's house. Hermione told them about this new step in her life.

"We'll miss you dear, but I'm sure you will love teaching," said Mrs. Weasley as she gave Hermione a hug. "I know Ron would be proud." Tears came to Mrs. Weasley's eyes.

Hermione nodded. She was too choked up to say anything. Hermione also made her teaching announcement to Ginny, Fred, George, and their families. Like Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, they supported Hermione's new career.

**************************************************

Hermione reread McGonagall's letter. It told her to be at Hogwarts on August 1st, a month before the first day of school. Two tickets for the Hogwarts Express were enclosed.

Hermione packed up all of her and Emma's belongings to bring to the game. On July 31st, the Weasley's had a going away party for Hermione and Emma. When Emma cried that she would not see her grandparents for almost a year, Mr. Weasley presented her with a small brown owl. He explained to her that Hermione could help her write letters to them and the owl would deliver them. Emma was excited about this.

Hermione and Emma had a great time at the party, but it was soon time to go because they had a big day ahead of them. After a round of hugs and kisses, Hermione and Emma left to spend the last night in their house for a while.

************************************************* Author's Note: I hope everyone likes my fanfic so far. This is my first time writing one, and I'm trying my best. Sorry the chapters are so short, but I have finals this week, they will get longer sooner!
