Hi everyone! I'm soo sorry that it took me so long to update. I just restarted school on the 2nd so I was just getting used to all of my new classes. Every one of my teachers are the scary kind of nice. But they're really great I learned that, I DON'T ANY OF THIS BUT THE PLOT AND SOME CHARACTERS!
It was the next morning during breakfast when Caden and Marco came walking into the Great Hall tiredly. Tina had made them stay up to write their papers, then she had to check them. And if they didn't have something right, she made them rewrite the whole thing over. She honestly was a younger Hermione.
"I'm never going to postpone on doing my work ever again. Especially when you're around." Said Marco, taking a scone.
"Well I did it for your own good. Do you want to pass or not?" asked Tina.
"If it means more nights like last night, I'd rather be expelled." Said Caden, grabbing a scone and marching out of the hall.
Marco nodded and followed his other best friend. Tina didn't think much of it, she knew they would thank her when they got to class.

"Good morning my darling." Said Harry, when Hermione opened the door.
"Hi sweetie. Where did you get that stroller?" said Hermione, letting them in.
Annabelle was sitting in a little pink stroller; the type for baby dolls but hers was bigger. She clapped her hands and started chewing on a little pink ice cube.
"McGonagall turned an extra chair into one for me. Annie's getting bigger and I can't carry her all the time." Said Harry, ruffling her light blond curls.
Hermione smiled at him and gave him a kiss. Harry quickly backed away; he knew those types of kisses. It was when someone wanted to ask something they knew they shouldn't, or if they did something wrong. Alyssa did just that when she died her hair trying to make 1 year old Caden stop crying.
Hermione was shocked.
"What's wrong?" asked Hermione in a sugary sweet voice.
"You want something right, or you did something that you know you shouldn't have. Out with it." Said Harry, scooting over still.
"I'm not up to anything. Can't I just kiss my boyfriend because I want to? It's not a crime is it?" asked Hermione, advancing on Harry.
"Alyssa used to do this. She was trying to make me not mad at her for dying her hair neon blue. Then she did this when she was pregnant with Caden; she had a really bad addiction for chocolate frogs. So she went and found my priceless edition of Muggle videotapes and traded them for a box of 50. So I'm used to this, what do you want to ask or what have you done?" said Harry.
Hermione turned her lips into a little frown that Harry thought looked very cute, but wouldn't admit that right now while she was trying to persuade him into something.
"Alright, alright. I was wondering what's up with all this sneaking around the school talking to teachers and some selective students? I really want to know, It's driving me nuts knowing that I'm not in on any of this." Said Hermione, pulling a bit of her wavy hair behind her ear.
Harry, quickly wanted to change the subject. He was trying to plan the best Valentine's/birthday/engagement party ever. He wanted this to be kept a secret so he kissed her. When they pulled apart, Hermione looked dazed but also very happy at the same time.
"Alright, so you won't tell me but at least I still get to kiss you." Said Hermione, hugging him and smiling.
Hermione got dressed and then, she, Harry and baby Annabelle went to the Great Hall for a quick breakfast. Annabelle ate a small bowl of porridge and honey, Harry had honey oats and some tea and Hermione just had chipped beef and milk. When they were done they quickly separated and ran for their classes.

"Good Morning. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Please all of you pass up your homework and if I get your work then you get your test scores back. I'll call you up one by one so that we can discuss your over-all grade in this class." Said Harry.
The class was very happy to hear that they were finally getting their scores back.
"Today we shall be learning about Kappa and Kelpie. Who can tell me what either or both of these things are?" said Harry looking around the room as he picked up the papers.
Of course Tina's hand shot up in the air and much to theirs and everyone else's Marco's and Caden's hands shot up. Harry was very proud of his son.
"Alright, Miss Gonzalez what do you think they are?" asked Harry.
"A Kappa is a water demon in Japan who lives on human blood but can be persuaded not to by giving it a cucumber with that persons name carved into it." Said Tina happy with herself.
"Very right you are. 5 points to Hufflepuff, Mr. Potter do you know what either one of these things are?" said Harry, smiling broadly.
"A Kappa also lives off of the water resting in its hollow which is located on top of its head. If you can get one to bend over and all of the water falls out the Kappa will loose all of its power. A Kappa also resembles a monkey with fish scales instead of fur." Recited Caden, surprised himself that he knew so much.
"Very well said. Another 5 points, I can make it 15 if Marco knows what a Kelpie is."
"A Kelpie lives in British or Irish waters. It can change to any shape but mostly takes the form of a horse with bulrushes for a mane. It is also well known for taking the shape of a sea serpent in Loch Ness, Scotland. Extremely dangerous to be around when you're tired. It will allow you to get onto its back and devourer you under water allowing your remains to float to the top." Marco said, as though he had practiced it for weeks.
"Very excellent work from all three of you. Another 5 points to Hufflepuff for pure knowledge and raising your hands first, now please while I call you all up, work on your two ten inch papers on the dangers of swimming in a lake and other water creatures. This is individual work. First person up, Marco O'Reilly." Harry stated, sitting down at his desk with his grade books open.
"Well Marco, it seems that you are passing my class. You're on the thin line between A and B so if you finish your homework before the due date I think I might be able to bring that grade of yours to a 90 % A." said Harry handing him his notebook and his test.
Marco nodded and looked inside of his book and saw that he had gotten a 340. He gave Caden the thumbs up to show that he had passed. Five other people went up then it was Tina's turn.
"Of course you know that you have the highest grades in any of my 1-5 year classes. But I would please advise you to stop writing 'Jeremy Temmer Tina Gonzalez', or 'I love Jeremy Temmer'. It gets a little confusing after a while." Said Harry giving Tina her notebook.
She looked inside and found that she had gotten a 360. Caden went up next.
"So Caden. I'm very proud of you. It seems that you actually do listen in class. You've got a 350 on the test, which is passing. And I really hope you're not copying off of Tina's homework." Said Harry.
"Of course not da- professor. She checks over it for us." Caden said in a hurry.
Harry nodded and gave his son his notebook. He was keeping his test to send to his grandparents. Class ended shortly. The Charmers said goodbye to Annie and went to Charms. Hermione was waiting in the door way with light pink robes, a white ankle length skirt, powder pink heels, her hair was in nice curls that looked as though they were wet. And she had on her ever so famous mood gloss. Right now it was light pink for pure love.
"You look really nice Professor." Said Tina coming in.
"Thank you." Hermione replied.
When everyone was inside she walked pass and left behind a soft smell of roses. On her desk were a dozen red roses. A girl with black pigtails raised her hand.
"Professor who sent you the lovely roses?" she asked.
"My boyfriend," Hermione said dreamily, "Let's not get side tracked. Ok Erin can you please go around and collect the homework from every row."
A hansom boy with shoulder length brown hair and faded blue eyes got up and picked up the papers. The girl with the pigtails looked at him with dreamy eyes. It seemed as though he was like a little Draco. Every girl wanted him, but in Hermione's case, Harry. He handed the papers to her and sat back down.
"Thank you. Ok today we will be learning about what makes brooms fly and how are they stopped. Does any one know?" Hermione stated walking around the room, when there was a knock on the door.
"Excuse me a moment. "
When she opened the door it was Harry and Annabelle. She smiled.
"Hi babe. I was wondering, could you please watch Annabelle until class is over. My 7th years are going down to the lake today. And I don't want her to get in any type of danger." Said Harry pleadingly.
"Of course sweetie. I'll have her sleep when you come and get her. And thank you so much for the flowers." Said Hermione.
"I thought you'd like them. Be good darling." Said Harry giving both of his girls' kisses.
When Hermione walked back in all of her students' heads snapped back. She had a feeling they were listening and watching. She shook Annie's bottle and sat on her desk.
"Ok, back to business students. I'll talk to you about this when I'm ready. So who can tell me about brooms. How about you Ryan." Said Hermione, putting the bottle in Annie's mouth and rocking slowly.
"Broomsticks have automatic brake charms on them to keep players from riding with no stop. And there is also a charm used to make it fly. I think it's like a permanent 'Leviosa'. "Said Ryan, with a doubtful look on his face.
"That is almost perfect. Indeed the charm helps the players from flying continuously but what is the correct incantation for what makes the broom fly?" said Hermione placing sleeping Annie into a play pin.
"How about we have a debate session. The topic for today is: 'Are having brooms bad or a good cause.' You shall be spilt up on my accord. I'll be the director. Ok I'll give you a number and that will be your team." Said Hermione writing the topic on the board.
She went around and gave students their numbers. Tina and Marco were on the same team; Caden was on a different. (A/n: Poor Caden. ï). Ok, the left side of the room is for the cause and the right side is for the rebuttal. Ok, left side begin. Why is it good to have brooms and why is it a good idea?" stated Hermione, checking on Annie.
"Having a broom is a wonderful thing. They provide fast and easy transportation and they also provide a good entertainment cause." Said a girl in Hufflepuff named Elizabeth.
"That was a good answer. Do you right side have anything negative to say about that? Why is it bad to have brooms?"
"Having a broom may be good a all, but they could also be dangerous to smaller children. What if a small kid got on a broom and went to high up. They would eventually fall causing themselves and or others to get injured." Said Ryan.
"That is very true. Tina, what do you have to say going with the idea that Ryan just said." Said Hermione, writing all of these statements down.
"Well some brooms have locks on them, so even if a small child did get hold of one, they wouldn't be able to fly or much less hurt themselves and or others." Tina shot back.
"That's a strong remark. Does any one have anything to say against her?" asked Hermione, going around the desks.
When no one raised his or her hand. She tapped the board with her wand and it said: TONIGHTS HOMEWORK IS TO COME UP WITH 10 STRONG ANSWERS ACCORDING TO YOUR TEAMS SIDE, ON IF USING AN UNFORGIVABLE IS ALLOWED FOR ANY REASON.
"In easier terms. Remember what team you were on because next week we shall have another debate on if using an Unforgivable is all right, even if it's in self-defense. And now we shall begin what we should be learning." Said Hermione, while the students' desks went back to normal.
"Ok, we shall learn how to make an ordinary object dance. I learned this when I was in school; it's pretty easy once you learn the basics. Ok, Marco please pass out the cups for me. Thank you darling." Said Hermione, sitting on her desk cross-legged.
Marco handed out the cups with a worried expression on his face. He had a feeling that he wouldn't pass this part of class.
When class was over Harry came back to get Annabelle. He walked in and saw Hermione sitting down at her desk, trying to concentrate on some work she had to get done for her next class.
"Hi beautiful." Said Harry.
Hermione looked up blushing. He leaned down and gave her a sweet kiss and conjured a chair to sit down on.
"How was class today?" Harry asked.
"It was alright. We had a debate about brooms and then I taught them how to charm their teacups to move. It was quite successful. And if you wanted to know Caden and his friends are all passing my class with flying colors." Said Hermione, happily.
"They're passing in my class too. I'm really proud of him. Was Annie good for you?" asked Harry, looking towards his daughter.
"She was an angel. I gave her a bottle and she fell asleep. After next class do you want to walk to lunch together or after dinner we could have a walk. I haven't had any time with you alone in a while." Said Hermione, making her eyes glint in the sun.
"Sure. I'm sorry I haven't spent that much time with you. I've been kind of busy working on something that needs to be done in two weeks. And I'm under a lot of stress." Said Harry, ruffling his hair.
"I understand. If you can't eat lunch with me, that's fine. You need to get your work done." Said Hermione, smiling sadly.
Harry noticed the sad way she was acting and kissed her. Hopefully that made her smile whole-heartedly again. It did, her face was a lot brighter.
"I love you." Said Harry walking out and down the hall.
Hermione smiled and blew him a kiss. She walked over to the door and watched him walk around the corner.
'I love you too.' Hermione said to herself, as the bell rang for her to go on break.
