Chapter two Feast with the Headmaster

A/N: So that was just a rip-off of my story...hehehe Ü.... I really do hope you give out those reviews! And please read my other fan fictions... If you have the time...

Summary: Two years after the war, most of the D.A. had been happily having their own lives and that almost only Luna and Ron were the ones who still haven't got a lover. Then Ginny, Hermione and Draco were asked by Dumbledore to take up the vacant posts at Hogwarts even for one year only, so out of fun, they all agreed.

As the castle stood magnificently silhouette through the moonlight, Luna and Ginny simply sat looking at it very awed while Ron sniggered in his seat, amused to their reaction.

"Gosh...I never thought how soon we are going back here after our lives in the war." Ginny said as their carriage drew nearer to the front gates of the castle, flanked with statues of winged boars.

"Yeah..." Luna agreed.

"I will really miss Harry though..." Ginny sighed.

"Aw...don't worry lil' sis! You'll see him in the holidays!" Ron said putting a comforting hand around his little sister's arms.

"Yeah, he's right you know... and by the way Ronald—"Luna started.

"Just call me Ron alright? You just make me feel so formal!" Ron said sounding a bit offhand.

"—Okay, Ron, well... Ginny here told me you also teach here at Hogwarts by the request of Professor Dumbledore I believe?" Luna said looking a bit embarrassed though still not taking off the usual signature attitude that she always use in the public.

"Yup! Been teacher for almost two school years already." said Ron.

"Two school years?" Luna asked blankly.

"Yeah...why?"

"Nothin'..."

"Oh... I forgot to tell you about that too! Well, you see, after my brother hadn't passed the test for the Auror job like Harry, Ron here worked for the Gringotts for a while as junior charm breaker like our older brother Bill." Ginny said looking apologetically at Luna.

"Yeah... the test was pretty hard mind you! And speaking of Bill, I have forgotten to tell you two—"He looked at the two occupant of their carriage. "—That this winter holidays, Fleur and Bill are going to be married!" Ron said as their carriage stopped in front of the oak front doors of the castle

"What?" Ginny almost shouted.

"Really?" Luna said vaguely as though she already knew.

"Yeah... It was a surprise that Fleur really took Bill seriously." Ron chuckled.

The three went down from the carriage; Ron, being the only guy, went out first and offered his hand to the two ladies to help them get down and trying to be a gentleman. When it was Luna's turn to get down, her cheeks went so red, that she tried to avoid Ron from seeing her face.

"Why, thank you big brother! Its irking to see that your being quite a gentleman today!" Ginny said.

"Har! Har!" Ron said sarcastically.

Luna looked at Ginny and smiled, apparently amused at her friend for trying to be like their older brothers: Fred and George Weasley, owner of the world famous joke shop, the Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes.

As they climbed up the steps of the front door, Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger shortly joined them. . Both wearing awed faces as they stare at the Entrance Hall while Ginny and Ron tried to wear a straight face. Luna, on the other hand, didn't mind it at all.

"You all wait here okay? I'm going to alert the staff that you had arrived." Ron said as he dashed off toward the teacher's table. After a while, the four followed Ron to the Great Hall where their old Headmaster stood affectionately, together with the other teachers and Ron.

"Welcome, my dear old students, to Hogwarts!" Dumbledore greeted them, walking serenely across the hall with the other teachers.

"Its nice being back here Professor!" Hermione exclaimed, walking towards the headmaster and hugging him. Ginny and Luna followed the suit, trying to show how they missed their dear, old headmaster while Draco simply beamed and shook Dumbledore's hand, who beamed him back.

"Ah...well we also missed you! And all the great things you had done for this school for the past years that you were here." Dumbledore said.

"Well... now that they are already here, Headmaster, should we start the feast?" Ron suggested.

"I'll be glad to" Dumbledore replied.

As they all headed off to the Great Hall, Luna noticed that the Great hall had something missing in it.

"Um... Professor?"

"Yes, Ms. Lovegood?"

"Could I ask you a little bit stupid question if you don't mind?"

"You already did my dear but then fire away!"

"Well, I just noticed that the usual House tables are missing and that there is only one table in the middle of the Great Hall." Luna asked looking around.

"Well, you see Ms. Lovegood—"

"Oh...do call me Luna"

"Okay, Luna...well, you see, this is a welcome feast for all of you new teachers and that it would be quite silly to look if we are going to eat at the teachers table without any students to look unto." Dumbledore chuckled.

"Oh...I see..." Luna said as she sat near Ginny.

-- After Dinner--

"Now that we are all finished, Let's all tuck in to have the energy for the Opening feast tomorrow" Dumbledore announced as he stood up.

"Hear! Hear!" Ron, Ginny and Hermione chimed.

"That was a great dinner! Don't you think?" said Ginny.

"huh?" Luna said.

"Never mind!" Ginny sighed as she smiled at her friend.

"Well, see you all tomorrow!" Ron said as he proceeds to his office.

"Night!" Luna and Ginny waved.

"Now to lead you to your knew home" Dumbledore said gently as he strode toward the four new teachers.

"Oh! Really? Our own dormitories?" Hermione asked.

"Yes Hermione, your own dormitory" Dumbledore smiled.

"let's go then" Ginny said.
