CHAPTER 5!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione groaned rolling over in bed. She sat up and looked over to see that Harry wasn't in bed anymore. She vaguely remembered him waking her up to say good bye to her. Frowning slightly, she switched her thoughts over to school.
"Well at least I'm 21 now, maybe the 7th years will realize I'm not just 3 years older than them anymore!" Hermione laughed, "yea right"
Sometimes Hermione couldn't believe Dumbledore, he hired her when she was 20 making her the Transfiguration Teacher and head of the Gryffindor house. The only job he didn't give her that McGonagall had was being Deputy Headmistress. Snape was now the Deputy Headmaster, which always makes her, Ron, and Harry laugh.
Looking at the alarm clock it was now 5am in the morning, Harry must of left at like 3am or earlier. Hermione had to be at Hogwarts at 7, then she would be living there for awhile, since that is what all teachers did.
Rolling out of bed Hermione got ready to go, most of her stuff was already at Hogwarts. So just taking a shower, and packing a few items, she was already to go.
------------
Hermione appeared in a midst of trees not to far from the Hogsmeade Station. (A/N - Not sure if you can apparate in Hogsmeade, So she apparated like off in the outskirts where you can for sure! Lol) She couldn't wait to get to Hogwarts, she loved it so much, but it just wasn't the same without Harry and Ron.
When she got to the Hogsmeade station there was a carriage that she assumed was pulled by an invisible horse, like they took back when they were in school. She smiled vaguely remembering the first time Harry and Ron rode in one, being so scared Harry would faint again.
-------------
When she reached Hogwarts, Dumbledore greeted her at the entrance.
"Mrs. Potter! You're early. Did Harry leave safely this morning?"
Hermione bit her lip, "Yes Professor, I think he did, I wasn't fully awake."
"Well, why don't you go get something to eat, the House Elves just finished fixing breakfast. Its good to have you back Hermione, Sirius isn't the best of a Transfiguration teacher."
Hermione smiled and said excitedly, "Sirius is teaching here now? For how long?"
"Yes him and Remus. They started just after you took your week break."
"Remus was allowed to teach again? But what about all the parents knowing he is a werewolf?"
"Everyone has taken on a new light since he helped get Voldemort to where he is now."
Hermione flinched, not because he said Voldemort, but Harry is back to looking for him.
"Alas, I must be off, I hope you will be settled in nicely?"
"I will Professor."
Hermione watched him walk off then turned to head to the Great Hall.
----------------
"Sirius! Remus!" Hermione called running up to them at the teacher's table, ignoring the strange looks she was getting from the students and other faculty. She hadn't seen them since her and Harry's wedding; Sirius had walked her down the aisle.
Sirius had just stood up when Hermione threw her arms around him.
I missed you two so much!" Hermione said after hugging them both.
"Really? It was hard to notice." Sirius said jokingly.
Hermione smiled.
"So how are you and Harry doing?" Remus asked after the three sat down.
"We're doing good I guess."
"You guess?" Sirius questioned helping himself to more bacon.
"No, its just I am not going to see him much anymore…" She said solemnly, while placing 2 pancakes on her plate.
They both nodded with some understanding.
"So, what classes are you guys teaching?" Hermione asked.
"Well, I was teaching transfiguration… but someone, who shall remain anonymous took over that" Sirius began
"Hey, I was teaching it first!" Hermione said laughing.
"Right, well anyway, I'm now teaching 'A History of Magic'" Sirius said sounding professional.
"What happen to Bins?"
"He got fed up with the job, He is now just a resident ghost of Hogwarts.
Hermione laughed and turned to Remus "And I guess you are the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher?"
"Yep."
"That's good, you were my favorite one!"
Remus beamed. Hermione knew if she said that in the presence of Harry or Ron, they would've made a joke about Lockhart. Hermione sighed silently.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile…
"Mr. Potter, Its about time you came back." Moody said turning around in his chair. (A/N – He isn't retired anymore, he came back... okay?? lol)
"Yea, so, what information do you have on where Voldemort is?"
"Not much, we have had some information on that he is near Bristol, but that is not for certain."
"What is anymore?"
"Hermione is safe, isn't she?" Moody asked ignoring Harry's sarcastic remark.
"Yea, she is a teacher at Hogwarts,"
"Then she certainly is with Dumbledore there."
"You don't think that Voldemort will…"
"Yes, he may try to accommodate your wife, as bait for you."
Harry frowned, he didn't want to put Hermione in danger.
"But she is as safe as she will be, Dumbledore, Lupin, and Black are all there to help her in anyway if needed.
"Remus and Sirius are there?" Harry asked surprised.
"Yes, they are now teachers there."
"Can I go see them?"
"You were gone from work for a week, and before that like 2 weeks, you haven't been here very much, we need you."
"I know, but I haven't seen Remus and Sirius since August."
"Its only September 20th… that wasn't that long ago."
"I didn't get to spend much time with them."
Moody sighed.
"It won't be for long, just a couple of days, or even just a day."
"You can go up Saturday. But just for that day."
"Thank you."
"For now can you go down to Tim (Changed 06/24/02 – lol), and give him this message?"
"Sure."
Moody handed him a note and Harry was off on his way.
Harry hated playing messenger, everyone knew he was probably the only one who could finish Voldemort off, but since he is the youngest on the staff, they make him do errands. It didn't make much sense.
