Harry Potter and friends (or enemies depending on how you look at it) is the sole work of JK Rowling.

This is a response to offlamurk's WIKTT Snape's Teaching Style challenge. The conditions of the challenge are below

In her twenties, Hermione returns to Hogwarts (reason for return is up to you.) Well there, she has a little time traveling accident (how, is entirely up to you, but, preferably not silly). Snap, crackle and pop, she's at school during Snape's seventh year. Dumbledore, helpful old fart that he is, gives her a job as a teacher, while researching a way to get her home. Being just a few years older than the oldest students, Hermione resorts to a teaching style that would stop anyone from harboring "inappropriate feelings" or to try her authority, namely Snape's.

Rules:

1. The story must contain a Hermione in billowing grey robes.
2. One person must have a body part fetish.
3. Heaps of jealousy must be found in it.
4. Hermione can teach any subject you like, but, if she's to be the potions teacher, she may not steal Snape's speech.

Prologue

For the last time the seventh years sat with their houses. Professor Dumbledore stood up, his deep violet robes fluttering with the sudden movement. The hall fell silent as the Headmaster spoke. "The end of another year," he said heavily looking at each table, "but this year ends in sadness; too many young lives have been lost." His eyes lingered at the Slytherin table which had suffered the most losses, losses caused by both internal and external friction.

"When Lord Voldermort attacked last month, he hoped to over power the school and he nearly succeeded, but the houses united and managed to hold him back until the wards could be renewed." Here the old wizard's blue eyes traveled from the Slytherin table to the witch sitting between Harry and Ron and then to the Ravenclaw table.

"While certain students took it upon themselves to defend the school," his eyes focused on the Gryffindor table briefly, "others felt it necessary to protect the younger students and care for the injured and leave the fighting to the proper authorities." Here the Headmaster smiled as he looked upon the Hufflepuffs. He paused, glancing along the Staff table, where several seats were vacant. "Regardless of where you were, you all showed strength of character, and I hope that strength will carry you through these dark times." He said and sat down, signaling the start of the feast.

When the feast ended, the students started floating out, however several students remained behind. Professor Snape glared at them. "Follow me." He said softly as he turned, and strode to a door behind the Staff table. He led the handful of students to the Headmaster's office where several Professor Dumbledore stood near the fireplace waiting for them. "I'm glad you four have decided to join the Order." He said as he picked up a box of powder and offered it first to the Potions Master. Mutely Snape took a handful of powder and stepped into the fire. "Number Twelve Grimmauld Place." In turn he offers the box of Floo powder to Harry, Hermione, Ron and Neville before taking a handful for himself.

Professor Dumbledore brushed the soot off his robes and smiled at the four new inductees who had been seated at the table. Molly had passed out wine to the adults and Butterbeer for Harry, Hermione, Ron and Neville. Professor Dumbledore smiled at the four young adults. "The induction is nothing, major; all you need to do is sign this paper." He said removing a quill and scroll from his robes. "The quill is a special one,' he said his eyes twinkling as he looked Harry's way. "Much like Dolores Umbridge's it uses your own blood except for the fact that it doesn't open a wound and doesn't hurt. By signing your name you are agreeing to work for the Order in any way possible." He said offering the Quill to Harry who signed the parchment. Harry passed it to Ron who signed it and then to Hermione who also signed it and then to Neville who's hand shook as he signed to parchment. Neville might have gained much in confidence in his last couple of years, but it still frightened him, remembering what happened to his parents.

Professor Dumbledore rolled the scroll up and looked at everyone. "I believe we should discuss what the new inductees are going to do with their life and how they might help the Order" He said looking at the four new members of the Order. "Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley have both been accepted into the Auror program. Neville Longbottom has agreed to enter a Herbology Apprentice with Professor Sprout. Hermione Granger hasn't chosen what she wants to do but has been offered and several as well as being offered the chance to become an Unspeakable." He said looking to the older members of the Order to see what they thought of it.

Ron and Harry exchanged a glance, wondering why Hermione hadn't chosen. They knew she had turned down a chance to become an Auror after the battle when she had realized her abilities were better suited for research and experimentation instead of fighting.

Remus looked thoughtfully at Neville. "Perhaps Neville remaining at Hogwarts would be best; some of the students might feel better at confiding with someone closer to their own age." He smiled at his former students, before looking at the other two boys, "With Ron and Harry at Auror training they might be able to convince other to join the order."

Dumbledore nodded at this assessment and looked at the others. He noticed that Hermione seemed to be deep in thought. Harry and Ron seemed to be excited, after all it was their first official meeting, and Neville still looked nervous although he did blush at the thought of people confiding in him.

"Perhaps Miss Granger would be best situated as an Unspeakable after all we don't have anyone in that department at the moment..." Kingsley Shacklebolt said calmly. Mad Eye nodded in agreement, his magical eye spinning while his normal eye focused on the young witch.

"I am leaning to that path… but I will have to swear an oath of silence, I will be unable to say anything about what I do." Hermione objected.

Ron looked at her. "Why not?" He asked, "It's not like they would know."

Snape sneered at him and was about to say something when Hermione answered. "A magical Oath of Silence, I will only be able to speak about what I do with other Unspeakables and certain Ministry officials.

Ron nodded. "Oh."

Professor Dumbledore smiled. "True but there is a little known ceremony that if preformed before the Oath of Silence is taken that will allow you to speak of what you are doing to others."

Hermione's eyebrows furrowed as she thought. "Then it nullifies the reasoning behind the Oath?" She asked out loud.

Professor Dumbledore shook his head. "You would only be able to speak of your job to those who participated in the ceremony." He explained.

Mad eye looked at them, "Should we get on with it?" He demanded gruffly.

Professor Dumbledore nodded. "Hermione, are you willing to take this path?" He asked already suspecting an affirmative answer.

"Of course. What do I have to do?" She asked.

Dumbledore removed his wand and cleared a ten foot circular area. "Hermione is to stand in the center and everyone is to form a ring around her. I will speak the words of the ceremony and the energies of those around her will connect briefly with her own, forming a bond similar to how the bond that forms when one wizard saves another." He explained. "That bond will allow you to bypass the Oath."

Hermione nodded and walked to the center while the other members of the Order formed a loose circle around her. Professor Dumbledore held his wand and spoke the words of the Bonding Ceremony. "Superare nostra ingarus facile comitis monitus condifere." [A/N: Very rough translation for: To overcome our unawareness easily, our companion advises us in trust] There was a gold glow of energy that faded to silver before disappearing. "Let us return to business." He said after the glow faded.

After the meeting ended, everyone returned home. Harry, Ron and Hermione when together to the Burrow, in the morning the three of them would go to the Ministry to enroll in the training for their respective careers. Then they would go back to the burrow to celebrate their graduation before Hermione returned to her family.
