Chapter four: Metting the others

James ran gleefully through the quaters, while Harry and Hermione were getting their things unpacked.

"This is so wonderful of Albus!" Hermione said.

"Yes, your right. Look, it seems that James is happy, too!" Harry smiled at his wife.

"I think we've done the right thing" Hermione nodded towards James, who wasjust playing with fawkes.

"I'm courius what the other teachers will say, especially Snape!" Harry said with a grin on his face.

"So let's take James and the girls and get down" Hermione said while making the girls ready.

"James! Come! We have to go downstairs for dinner!" Harry jelled so that James can hear him.

"Ok, I'm here. Can I take one of my sisters?"James asked.

"Of course,take Vivian" Hermione gave him her eldest daughter.

When they all got downstairs, they could hear a vioce speak in the great hall:

"Hello! You all should at least know, that I am now Minister for Magic, and I suppose you wonder, who is going to be the new headmaster. Of course the simplst thing would be when Minerva will take the post, but I wanted her in the Ministry as my assistant and she accepted. There are also the postsof DADA and Transfiguration teacher to be taken. I have found two people, who will fit all our gaps. Some will know by now, but for those who don't know yet, I have a surprise for you. I hope all of you appreciate my lastdecition as headmaster..."

He was interupted by a knok on the door.

"That must be them. Please welcome back Mr.and Mrs. Potter and their children.

The Potters walked in and sat down.

"Harry will be the new headmaster and DADA prof., and Hermione will be Head of Gryffindor House and Transfiguration teacher!"

"Thank you, Albus!" Harry said and with that really everyone clapped their hands, including Snape.

"Now,these aremy children, James who is holding Vivian, the eldest one of my daughters, the second is Sianna,k who is on Hermiones arms, and last but not least, I'm holding Emily, the youngest!"

Again there was clapping.

"I hope I can differate them, when they are going to school" Severus Snape said with a grin "And congratulations Harry!"

"Er.. thank you" Harry said rather taken a back by the words of the Potions Master.

"Yeah, yeah, I know what you think. How can it be, that the evil git is so nice. I tell you something, I didn't mean to be mean to you, but I had to.I had to cover my Death Eater appriance, because of the many Death Eater children in our school, but now the Dark Lord is dead and I can show my real self! And didn't hate your father, after all he was one of my best freinds." Severus said.

"Ok, I think that we will have no problems!" Harry answerd.

Severus raised his glass: "To Harry and Hermione Ptter, the new staff members!"

All echod.

"Thaks to you all. The password to our quaters is "Children!" Hary said, and when everyone burst into laughter, he added "For the first."

After all people had eaten their things, the feast got very funny. Snape played with James, who reminded him so much at his grandfather, Dumbledore enjoed himself with the girls, and Harry and Hermione were talking to the other teachers.

"Mom, I wanna go to bed!" James said yawning.

"Ok, we are going upstairs, thanks for the happy welcome." Hermione said to the staff.

"I'm coming to help youget the children upstairs!" Severus and Albus said in a unison.

In the night, Harry and Hermione were talking a´bout who to make godparents for their children.

"I think we should take Severus for James" Harry said.

"Yes, and Dumbledore for Vivian." Hermione said.

"Ok, then Minerva for Sianna" came from Harry

"And at least Lupin for Emily," both said in a unison.

"I think we've made a good choice, let's talk to them tomorrow,good night sweetheart, I love you!" Harry wispred to his wife.

"Good night and I love you,too!"

A within minutes they were asleep, having dreams of the wonderful and eventful day.

Now here is my fourthchapter, I am so sorry that it took so long.
