A/N: This is my response to the Adoption Act challenge on WIKTT. This is my first challenge response, so please r/r and tell me what you like/don't like, etc.

Hermione spent the rest of the day at the Ministry helping to assign children to the professors and other adults who had sent in their applications. After the argument with Snape, Hermione set out to find the right children to piss him off.

She herself adopted a beautiful 4 year old girl named Janey with big blue eyes and light blonde curls. Janey's parents had been muggles targeted by Voldemort, but as it was obvious that Janey had magical abilities, she was brought to the wizarding orphanage instead of the muggle orphanage. Molly Weasley, who had taken the job running the orphanage, knew that they were a perfect match and brought Hermione to meet her. They had fallen in love with each other immediately.

Seeing Mrs. Weasley brought back to Hermione all the feelings of sadness for the Weasleys that had been lost in the war. Fred and George had stood bravely along with the members of the Order of the Phoenix but they had fallen at the hands of Lucius Malfoy. Lucius, himself had been defeated by Dumbledore.

Bill's wife, Fleur Delacour had been killed in a raid on Diagon Alley, leaving Bill with a one year old son, Andrew. Ron's wife, Luna Lovegood had been killed in an attack at the Burrow.

After the Final Battle, Ginny and Harry had finally married and were expecting their first child, a little girl. Molly and Arthur finally came into some money and decided to add two more children to the family by adopting Dena, a nine year old and Arija, a five year old.

Ginny Weasley-Potter arrived at the Ministry holding the hands of her charges, brothers, six year old Joey and four year old James. Both had dark brown hair and Joey had hazel eyes, while James had dark blue eyes. Hermione had been holding Janey on her hip while finishing the paperwork. Once Janey saw James, she begged to get down. Hermione set her on the ground while she talked with Ginny.

When Hermione finished the applications, she gave it to the receptionist who read through the applications, but stopped when she reached Remus Lupin's.

"Excuse me, Miss, but there is absolutely no way that Remus Lupin can adopt a child. He is a werewolf!! What if he eats the child???"

"He is not some wild animal—besides Rory is at Hogwarts when Remus works." After Hagrid had resigned as Keeper of the Keys and Professor of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts to be with Madame Maxime, Professor Dumbledore had asked Remus to take over.

"Still, I can not allow it!"

At this point Ginny turned to the receptionist and said, "Jasmine, you get my father down here now!"

Jasmine looked scared, but hurried off. A moment later, she returned with Arthur Weasley following her.

"Hermione! Ginny! What seems to be the problem here?" He greeted each of them with a kiss.

"Well, father, Jasmine here will not approve Remus' adoption because he is a werewolf," Ginny answered.

"Jasmine, as Minister of Magic, I approve this adoption"

"But Minister—"

"No buts" Jasmine or you will find yourself without a job!"

"Yes, sir," she answered with a sneer.

Arthur must have missed this because he turned around with a smile and spoke to the girls, "Well, I must be back to work. I hope to see you soon. Please stop by for dinner some night." He kissed them both again and walked towards the stairs.

Jasmine finished the paperwork, grumbling the whole time.

Finally everything was ready and two portkeys were set up to bring the children along with Ginny and Hermione to Hogwarts. They gathered around each laying a finger on the two old shoes. They felt the familiar tug at their navels and when they landed, they found themselves in the rooms that were set up as the daycare center. The children who were currently attending Hogwarts were already at the rooms.

Professor Dumbledore entered followed by the other professors including a sulking Snape. The children had taken seats on the floor in the front of the rooms. The professors sat in the chairs that were facing the front of the room.

Hermione and Ginny stood in front of the children, but facing the professors. Hermione spoke up first, "Good evening, everyone! Ginny and I will be introducing you to your new adopted children tonight. When I call your name please stand up and meet your child or children and then sit back down to wait for us to finish with everyone. Thank you!"

There was a murmur of assent around the room and a scowl from Snape.

Hermione started by calling "Professor Dumbledore" and he stood. Ginny beckoned for a young man with sharp features, blue eyes and red hair, who also stood up. "This is Ian Daniels. He is, as you know, a 4th year student here in Hufflepuff." Professor Dumbledore walked towards Ian and gave him a big hug. They both sat down again together.

Ginny called for "Professor McGonagall" and she stood. Hermione beckoned two identical looking girls with black curls and green eyes to stand. "This is Amelia and Lauren Williams. They are 10 years old and will be starting school here next fall." Professor McGonagall smiled and there seemed to be tears in her eyes at the prospect of having children.

Hermione called Professor Sprout who was still Herbology Professor and head of Hufflepuff. Hermione nodded towards a young boy around 8 years old with bleach blonde hair and grey eyes. "This is Malcolm Lewis. He is 8 years old." Professor Sprout smiled at him and he tentatively walked up to her and held his hand out to shake hers. They sat together behind Professor McGonagall.

Ginny then called "Professor Weasley" and Bill stood up still holding little Andrew. Ginny nodded at a girl seated next to her with shoulder length blonde hair and grey eyes. She stood and Ginny said to Bill, "This is Aleah Flaming. She is 9 years old." Aleah walked shyly towards Bill and he introduced her to Andrew. She started to giggle when Andrew grabbed on to her finger.

Hermione next called "Professor Lupin" and Remus stood looking a little nervous, obviously because of his condition. Hermione motioned to a young man behind her with blonde spiky hair and bluish-green eyes, who also stood looking relieved. "This is Rory Piers, he is 15 and he is a 5th year student here in Gryffindor as you obviously know." Remus looked visibly relieved at the fact that Rory was already a student and that he already knew about his condition. They both sat down together.

Ginny called next for her husband, "Professor Potter" and Harry stood. Ginny then introduced their children. "Harry, this is Joey and this is James, our two children." He smiled a big smile and came forward to hug them. He took them back and sat at his seat.

Hermione came forward again and was a little nervous at the next name she was to call, "Professor Snape." He stood very reluctantly with a sneer. Hermione stood her ground though and beckoned forward a girl around 5 or 6 with wide brown eyes and black curls to her chin and also a girl about 11 with straight black hair down to her waist and dark blue eyes that showed sorrow in them. "This is Daniela Vance. She is six years old and this is her older sister Sierra. She is 11 years old and a 1st year student in Ravenclaw." Snape looked up and down at the two of them, recognizing the name Vance. Their mother Emmeline was a member of the Order and had died fighting the Dark Lord along side her husband, William.

Snape sneered again and said, "I don't want even one child and you bring me two? Are you screwed over in the head? I do not want children!!" Snape screamed the last part to make a point. Then he stormed out of the room.

Sierra stared after Professor Snape as he stormed out of the room. She knew this would happen. Nobody wanted her as a daughter. Her parents had been out all the time when she was younger helping the cause and what did it get them—they were dead! She shook her head and sat back down wrapping her arms around her knees.

Daniela on the other hand watched Snape leave and her bottom lip started to quiver and she burst into tears. Hermione bent down and picked her up and held her close trying to stop her crying. The rest of the staff and children just stared in disbelief at Snape's outburst. Albus stood up and excused himself from Ian, telling him to meet him in his office the next morning. He then followed after Professor Snape.

Slowly the rest of the professors and children walked out of the rooms and Hermione continued to calm Daniela down. Eventually she was able to and Daniela looked up at her and asked, "Will you be my mommy?" Hermione did not know what to say and instead just gave Daniela a kiss on the forehead.

She carried Daniela and Janey to there private rooms and asked Sierra to follow along. She entered her rooms and walked straight into a huge common room. One the right was two bedrooms and on the left were a playroom and a bathroom. She walked into the smaller of the bedrooms and placed both Daniela and Janey on the bed. She took off their shoes and they promptly fell asleep.

She then walked back into the common room to find Sierra fast asleep on the couch. She did not want to wake her up and instead flooed Bill Weasley, the head of Ravenclaw to let him know where Sierra was in case someone reported her not in the dormitory. After saying goodnight to Bill, she entered her own room, changed into her pajamas and fell asleep once she hit the bed.
