The next morning Hermione awoke to a tapping at the window, a small tawny owl was tapping excitedly at the glass. She sighed and got up to put her robe on before opening the window. The bird flew in and landed on the footboard of the bed and stuck out his leg with a letter attached. The Hogwarts emblem flashed on the front and it was addressed to her.

Dear Hermione,

I hope everything is well with your new child, congratulations! I am very excited to ask you this, but there has been a new job created at Hogwarts, Assistant Headmaster/Headmistress. The Ministry and I decided that it should be a fairly young person that will understudy me and, at the event of my untimely passing, will take over Hogwarts as a new Headmaster or Headmistress. I find you completely capable of this job. As I'm also sure you know, Harry Potter has taken the new Defense Against the Dark Arts position, and I have also made a new position for your husband if he would like to come as well. Potions apprentice to Professor Snape. I would love to have you both come and stay with us for the year, and you are welcome to bring your daughter, after all, she is the future of Hogwarts! I hope to hear your reply soon.

Yours,

Albus Dumbledore

"Oh Merlin!" Hermione gasped, running over to the bedside. "Draco! Wake up!" She squealed shaking her still sleeping husband.

"W-what? What's wrong?!" He sat up quickly thinking something was wrong with the baby.

"Read this!" Hermione beamed, thrusting the letter at him.

Draco read over the letter, a smile forming on his pale face. "Oh Hermione, this is wonderful!"

"I know!" She jumped up and down like a little school girl, and then there was a knock at the door. Draco got up to open it to see his mother standing with a sleepy eyed Haley in the doorway.

"What's the noise all about?"

Hermione gave her the letter to read as she took her daughter and sat on the chair next to the desk and pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill. "Well Draco, should we?"

"If you want to sweetheart, we don't need the money, but I know how much you want to."

She smiled and began to write a return letter accepting the jobs and tying it to the bird's leg before it flew out the window. Narcissa finished reading the letter and hugged her son.

"You could still stay here mom, unless you want to go home. But you could keep the house for us for 9 months." Hermione asked, hugging her mother-in-law.

"I'd love to, I'm sure they won't mind doing a few more renovations to the house, and I can stay here while they build there. But, what about Haley?"

"Dumbledore said we could bring her." Hermione said.

"You're going to take her? But what if you both have classes at the same time and you can't watch her?"

"I'm sure Harry wouldn't mind watching her and neither would Dumbledore." Draco thought aloud.

"You could leave her here with me, leave me some company." Narcissa frowned.

Hermione thought for a moment and looked at Draco, then at her daughter. "I don't know if I could leave her for 9 months, I'm sorry." She said.

"Why not buy a dog mom? You've always wanted one," Draco asked, looking at his downcast mother. She seemed to smile as he said this.

"Yes, that's what I'll do!"

There was another tap at the window and Hermione looked up to see a snowy owl tapping at the window. "Hedwig." She smiled.

The letter read,

Hermione,

I hope you accepted the job at Hogwarts, and Draco too. I can't wait to see you all, because I know you wouldn't pass up an opportunity like this! I decided not to become an auror, and let Ron take that job, even though it was my dream, Hogwarts is my home and always has been. I'll see you on August 1st!

Love,

Harry

"August first, well that's in a week! You two had better get packing!" Narcissa said as she took the baby from Hermione and left the room. They ate breakfast before beginning to pack all their clothes and things they would need.

Later that evening another letter came for them, again from Dumbledore.

Draco and Hermione,

I'm overjoyed to know that you have accepted, please be at the Hogwarts Express with everything you wish to bring at 7AM on August 1st.

Yours,

Albus Dumbledore
