Chapter 2: Hogwarts
It was September first, and Harry and Hermione, along with their children and Ron and Ginny Weasley, were on their way to Hogwarts. They got to ride in the Head Compartment on the train, and Hermione read books to the children all the way there.
Once they reached Hogwarts, they went straight to the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall. Many people whispered as they looked at them and their kids, and they blushed as they sat down by Ron. Harry looked up at the staff table, and saw that all the faculty were there. One thing Harry didn't know yet was that Snape was teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts this year, and that Lupin, who had become Harry's godfather when Sirius had died, was back at Hogwarts and teaching Potions class.
When the welcome feast was over, Harry and Hermione got called to the staff table, where they were instructed to follow Dumbledore, Lupin, and McGonagall to the Headmaster's office. Their kids went along with them, and were the topic of conversation among the faculty. None of the professors had known, of course, and Remus asked how old Harry and Hermione had been when this had happened.
"Fifteen, the both of us," Hermione said.
"Fifteen!" Remus was absolutely furious with Harry. "When we are done here, young man, you and I are going to have a little chat, do you hear me?"
"Yes, Remus," said Harry.
Professor Dumbledore spoke up then; "I think it is time to show you your living quarters."
Harry and Hermione said good night to Lupin and McGonagall, and followed Dumbledore out of the office. Harry was grateful that it looked as if he wouldn't have to "chat" with Lupin that night, after all.
