Well, here's chapter 3! I want to thank all 3 of the people who reviewed, Lynn Wilson, tiia, and ner-zuh! Thanks so much. And Lynn Wilson is the one who gave me the idea to use Professor Guinevere as Jenny's name! YAY! On with the chapter!
I don't own Harry Potter!
Jenny had been in many horse drawn carriages in her life. In fact, Jake took her on one as a date, which was very romantic. But, on that ride, there was an actual horse pulling the carriage. On this carriage ride, however, there was no horse. The carriage seemed to move itself. She looked over at Jake and saw him studying the inside of the carriage, not seeming to notice how the thing was moving.
"You will notice many things are different here than in the Muggle World." McGonagall was saying.
Jenny stopped thinking how weird all of this was and started listening to the older woman.
"What am I to teach, Professor?" Jake asked.
The professor nodded. "Ah, yes. well, you see, before this year we had just one person teaching Muggle Studies and this person was usually a witch or wizard themselves. But, something happened over the summer and we were in desperate need of a teacher. The headmaster requested you, Guinevere, and it was decided. And you, Jake, came with the deal and we added a new subject, Sports of the Muggle World. That is what you will be teaching."
"Sports of the Muggle World, huh? I like that." Jake said, smiling.
"We thought you would." McGonagall went on. "We know that both of you have finished school and have degrees in the subject of teaching." With a nod from the couple she continued. "Well, here we are. Now, let's get your luggage inside and I'll show you your room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Dinner is in two hours. You shall meet the rest of the staff then." And with that said, McGonagall left the two in their room.
Jenny stared in awe at the room around her. It was huge. The bed was in the middle of the room and Jenny was sure she was going to have the jump to get on it. There were two desks in the room, one close to the window and the other was on one side of the bed. Both desks were very nice looking and reminded Jenny of desks that were probably used back in the 18th or 19th century.
Jake smiled at his wife when he noticed her wide eyes while she examined the room. "Pretty, isn't it?" he asked putting an arm around her.
"Beautiful."
He winked at her. "Well, we have two hours before we have to be at dinner. What do you wanna do?"
Jenny giggled and kissed his nose. "Mmm, I don't know. What do you want to do?"
Jake grinned and swiftly picked her up and carried her to the bed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Severus Snape growled under his breath at the two muggles that had just entered the room. Bloody Muggles coming to Hogwarts. They were going to cause the school to become even more degrading as it already was.
"Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Woodson." Albus Dumbledore said, walking up to them. "Welcome to Hogwarts!"
The young woman smiled gratefully and shook the headmaster's hand. "Thank you for allowing us to come. And giving both of us a job."
Dumbledore smiled and motioned them to their seats. The two sat down and jumped in surprise when food just appeared on their plates. Snape smirked into his food.
"The students will arrive on Monday." Dumbledore said as he started eating.
"Monday?" Jenny asked shock evident in her voice. "But it's Friday now."
"Yes, Guinevere," Dumbledore said, looking up. "You have two days to get everything ready. And don't worry, if you need help, any of the other professors will be glad to help you."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I hear we have two new professors this year," Hermione Granger said to her two best friends as they got settled in their compartment on the Hogwarts Express. "One of them being the new Muggle Studies professor."
"That's what I heard," Ron Weasley answered as he sat down. "Know anything about them?"
Hermione shook her head. "Nothing."
Harry Potter, the other boy in the compartment with them, frowned. "I wonder what happened to Professor Mannher." Professor Mannher was Hogwarts Muggle Studies professor the year before, the trio's fifth year. And now, they were starting their sixth and second to last year at the school.
Ginny Weasley, Ron's younger sister, spoke up. "Well, whatever happened, maybe they'll be interesting."
The other three nodded and settled back, all anxious to meet the two new professors.
When the train finally pulled up to Hogwarts, the four jumped out and got a carriage of their own. Of course, the ride up to the school was not very long but to Hermione, the cleverest witch in the school, the ride seemed endless. She was very excited about the new professors. She had heard that one was a young woman, around 25. Maybe she would be nice and the two could talk to each other.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jenny bit her lip and glanced over at her husband. He was quietly talking to Professor McGonagall, looking quite calm. She, on the other hand, was rather nervous. She sighed. She had been nervous a lot lately.
She suddenly felt someone take her hand. Jake was still talking to the professor but his hand covered hers and she knew that he was aware of how nervous she was. Jenny took a deep breath and gripped his hand, glad that they were so close that he could feel what she was feeling. One of her friends from high school had told her that Jenny and Jake were soul mates. At that time, Jenny had laughed, but now-well now she believed it.
The doors to the Great Hall opened and students filed in. Jenny took another deep breath as McGonagall got up and walked to the front of the professors' table. Jake turned to Jenny and smiled. "It'll be fine," he whispered.
"I hope so," she murmured back. She noticed that many of the students were looking at her and Jake with curiosity clearly in their eyes. She noticed four students in particular. The two boys, one with flaming red hair and the other with black hair, were talking furiously with each other and the two girls, one that had to be the red-head's sister and the other with bushy brown hair, were laughing about something. Then, the busy haired girl looked over at the professors' table and locked eyes with Jenny. Jenny smiled and the girl smiled back, excitement clearly in her eyes.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione felt a rush of excitement when one of the new professors smiled at her. And it wasn't a forced smile; it was a nice happy smile.
"What's with you?" Ron asked as they took their seats.
Hermione smiled. "I think I'm going to like the new Muggle Studies professor."
They couldn't talk anymore because the sorting had begun. But Hermione kept looking at the two new professors, anxious to know their names. It finally came time for Professor Dumbledore to make his annual beginning of the year speech.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts and welcome to Hogwarts to the first years. This year we have two new teachers, Professor Guinevere Woodson and her husband Professor Jake Woodson. Now, so as not to confuse people we shall call them Professor Guinevere and Professor Woodson. I think all of you can guess which is which. Professor Guinevere will be teaching Muggle Studies and Professor Woodson will be teaching Sports of the Muggle World."
There were a few excited whispers among the boys and Hermione saw Professor Guinevere smile and wink at Professor Woodson. Her husband smiled back and whispered something in her ear. Whatever he said caused his wife to blush and push him away, laughing.
Hermione sighed. It was so obvious they were in love. 'I want something like that.' She thought wistfully, glancing at Ron.
