Chapter 3- Cambodia comes home
Draco was awake early the next morning, he wanted to see if there was any more news on the Cambodia camp. But there wasn't, he didn't think so, been top secret and all. But with the owl post, came an extra letter, sealed with the Hogwarts crest.
"I know there good but not that good" he mumbled, thinking of his daughters and when they would receive their letters to join Hogwarts. He looked as to whom it was addressed to and it was he. So he opened the letter –
Dear Mr. Malfoy,
As you may be aware Hogwarts had always had problems filling the defense against the dark arts position for longer then an academic year. We would like to offer you to position, Starting in September. Of course we want you to discuss this with Hermione and the children. But we would be very proud to offer this position to you.
You, Hermione and the children will of course all be welcome to stay at Hogwarts. Now, regarding Hermione's job, which im sure she will want to keep, there is two options, she could keep the job, but have to live in the muggle world or she could take over from Madame Pomfrey when she retires this year. I know Hermione has been keeping up to date with wizard healing methods, having passed on her exams to Madame Pomfrey over the last 10 years.
Please take some time to think and reply with your answer. We would very much like to have both of you, and little Bailey, Kara and Deacon amongst our midst at Hogwarts. Give our love to the children, Minerva is so looking forward to seeing your son, having not seen him since he was a day old.
Albus Dumbledore
Draco read the letter, just finishing as Hermione walked down the stairs and into the kitchen
"I got a letter from Dumbledore" he announced
"Really, is it about the Cambodia camp?" she said dropping the large washing basket she was carrying
"No, he wants me to be the DADA professor in September. He also wants you to take over from Poppy when she retires this year" Draco said passing her the letter, which Hermione read twice.
"Draco, you always wanted to teach" she said
"I know, but its not just my life I have to think about, what about you?"
"Yes" was all she said and before they knew it they had written a reply saying they would be moving to Hogwarts in a month's time so they had all the holidays to prepare for the students return in September.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Hermione, Draco" Dumbledore greeted as they flooed with all their luggage into his office
"Professor"
"Little Deacon, how nice to see him after 4 months, my how has he grown" McGonagall cooed over him, in a very paradox manor. Kara and Bailey went straight to Fawks and stated stroking him. A bird that they hadn't seen for about a year.
"Can I show you to your room" Dumbledore offered leading Hermione carrying Kara, Draco carrying Bailey and McGonagall pushing Deacon in the pram that He flooed there in.
"Hope its bigger than our head room, there's more of us now" Draco joked, making Hermione blush remembering what they got up to in that room.
"Stoma" Dumbledore said and the oh so familiar DADA teachers quarters opened up "I have had to make this room a lot bigger, since we do not usually have more than one person living here" he said showing them around and then leaving.
"Professor" Hermione called as McGonagall was leaving "Is there any news on the Cambodia camp's return home.?" She asked
"Sorry Miss Gra- Sorry Mrs. Malfoy, no" she said trying not to smile as much as she wanted to and then left too.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Mrs. Potter, please refrain your self" Snape said in Dumbledore's office later that week, Ginny Potter was hugging her worst teacher from the school as if he was her best teacher.
"Im sorry sir, just so glad to be back" she said
"Harry, I think were done here" Dumbledore said "Perhaps a trip to the DADA classroom would be beneficial"
"Sir?" Harry said
"Trust me, you too Ginny, Ron" he said ushering them out of his office with a smile as big as McGonagalls. Even Snape could have been said to crack a smile too.
"What was all that about? I swear the old man's crazier than he use to be" Ron complained as they took the long walk to their destination.
"You ok their Ginny?" Harry said putting his hand on Ginny's back as they walked
"Im fine, thanks, just kicked" she said patting her 5-month-old unborn child she was carrying.
"Don't worry Ginny, Eloise said it happened all the time" Ron said "Right little pain she called him" Ron said looking saddened
"Im sorry Ron" Harry said consoling his best friend. Ron was married to a lovely woman called Eloise. They had been working together since she left school, she was the same age as Ginny only she went to Drumstrang. They got on famously and got married after a year together, Harry and Ginny had never been so happy to see Ron happy, but all that turned to sadness when she found out she they were having a child. They kept it a secret for as long as possible because Eloise was very commited to what missions she was on.
The rules are that every pregnant woman must be confined to paper work with in the camp from the moment she knows about her pregnancy until she felt ready to go back. When she got pregnant they were in the middle of a dangerous mission and she didn't want to drop out half way through, like Ron and the rules said.
Sadly she never finished the mission, a death eater killed her when she was 6 months gone. Both died instantly. Ron insisted that the baby be identified as a boy or girl so he/she could have a real burial service, a little boy he was. Ron called him Nathaniel after Eloise's father who died a month before they married.
"Its ok, that was 5 years ago, its fine" he said "Where here"
They knocked on the door and a voice called from within "Come in". Ginny stepped forward first thinking she recognized the voice from somewhere. Harry and Ron followed after her closing the door behind them.
They were in the living room of the DADA teacher quarters, neither knowing why they were there, just that they were there.
"Just a minute" came the voice, still they didn't recognize it. Then Hermione walked into the living room from the little kitchen area, she didn't look at the company because she was too busy reading the book she had her nose in.
"Hermione" Ginny, Harry and Ron all said at once. Hermione immediately recognized their voices and looked up to see 3 old face's looking back at her.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
