Chapter 59: Tonks
"Oh, this is going to be a long pregnancy." Harry groaned as he woke up on the thirty first of August.
"You will enjoy it anyway." Ginny smiled. Harry had spent the last week getting a large office ready. He normally just did all his work in his classroom office, but that was given to the new defense against the dark arts teacher, Professor Tonks. The two had not met yet, but it was rumored that she was a good friend with his mom.
Harry pulled himself out of bed, and looked at his stomach. Where at this time (9 weeks) the last time he was pregnant, he was looking forward to start showing, he was now looking like he was at least fourteen weeks pregnant. When he stood up he could still see his toes, but that was about it. His wife looked about the same, just a little smaller.
"So I hear, Tonks is making an appearance this morning at breakfast." Ginny looked anxious.
"Yeah, I look forward to meeting her. Apparently she only knows she is coming to teach DADA, she has no idea who else works here. She is an Auror who has been on a field mission since before the fall of Voldemort, keeping the dark creatures from going to Voldemort's side, she was just finishing up when Malfoy went into power so she stayed. Now someone else has replaced her so that she can do other things, like teaching here. Should be interesting." Harry smiled.
"Yeah, what's her first name again?" Ginny asked.
"Umm, it's a weird name hold on...N-Nymph...Nymphadora! But never call her that, I hear people have lost appendages. She hates the name, oh and there is one other thing you should be aware of, she's a Metamorphmagus."
"Seriously?"
"Yep, so expect anything." The two nodded and went out of their room to wake the kids. Lily was already awake and banging on her brother's door.
"Wake up, Daniel!" Lily yelled.
"I am!" A young male voice yelled back. The door opened and Daniel walked out yawning. The two adults split up and each got a child dressed, before they left for the great hall. There was no one unfamiliar in the great hall when they all went up to the head table to eat breakfast.
"Tats my toast!" Daniel yelled grabbing the toast from Lily's hands.
"Not!" Lily yelled, grabbing it back.
"Too!"
"Here you go, now you both have toast." An unfamiliar voice said in front of them, holding two pieces of toast.
"Hello." Harry said, smiling. The woman in front of them had hot pink hair, they had no doubt about who was she was. Tonks stepped back mouth opened.
"Ja...Harry?" Harry rolled his eyes, he had long since gotten used to being told he looked like his father.
"Yes, glad to meet you. This is my wife, Ginny Potter and our two kids Daniel and Lily Potter." Tonks held a giant smile as she shook everyone's hands. "I hear your taking over my position for a year." Harry smiled.
"Your..." Tonks started looking confused, Harry held up his hands to shush her.
"I'm pregnant with triplets, I can't teach it this year, don't worry. I will just have to settle with my deputy job and going to school myself." Harry smiled.
"Your pregnant?" Tonks asked wide-eyed.
"For the second time. Believe me, neither were planned. My wife here is the Arithmacity teacher and she is pregnant for the first time with twins. Let me introduce you to the rest of the staff. My best friends Hermione and Ron Weasley, there kids John, Julie and Soroush Weasley. Draco Malfoy and his daughter Tina Malfoy. Neville Longbottom, and his soon to be wife who is also pregnant Lavender Brown." Tonks eyes got wide at the sight of Neville. "You already know Hagrid, Flitwick, Binns, and Minivra is not here yet." Harry sat back down to eat.
"Well, as everyone here more then already know, I am Tonks, and I can't wait to work with you."
"Harry, may I speak with you for a minute?" Minivra asked sticking her head in from the door behind the staff table. "Oh Tonks, you made it here alright, I am so glad. Welcome back to Hogwarts!"
"Thank you." Tonks smiled. Harry got up and walked into the back room.
"Harry, I just received word that my friend has taken a turn for the worse. I need to leave and I doubt I will be back in time for tomorrow's events, so you are in charge. Appoint someone to do the sorting, as you will be active headmaster. Everything you need, is now on your desk and if you need anything from my office the password is quintuplets." With that, she left with a pop. Harry just stood there gaping like a fish, before sighing and walking back to the great hall.
"I'm active headmaster tomorrow." Harry moaned.
"You're kidding! Who is going to do the sorting?" Ginny asked.
"I will!" Tonks said bouncing up and down. Harry smiled at her.
"Done, though I have to warn you, there is quite a lot." Harry said in all seriousness.
"I can handle it." Tonks grinned as her hair turned bright blue.
"Famous last words." Harry smiled.
