Hey I'm there again. And to anybody who's interestet: My holiday was nice, sunny, warm... But then if you're not interested don't read this.
Oh and this chapter is longer cause I wrote half of it in a car. Into a little notebook (well it calls himself wirting pad) and it took me 8 1/2 pages. Small pages. I've got to eat sry. I would have writen more...
3. One day after their trip to Diagonally Ginny decided to ask Dumbledore for a job, of course under a totally new name, because she had realized that with her children in Hogwarts she would be lonely and with a job as a teacher she could she her kids, even if they wouldn't know it was her. Therefore, she apperated to Hogsmead, went to the post office and sent a letter to Dumbledore asking him for interview. About 20 min. later a reply came back. She could come the same day, "since you're in Hogsmead", at 12 o'clock. After that she apperated back into a deserted street near her house, from where Ginny went to the backer to buy a loaf of bread. The twins shouldn't get suspicious, why she wasn't at home. On the way home, she thought up an excuse to send Jade and Tom to her best friend Mia for the rest of the day. However, Mia was a muggle. After breakfast, the twins did find it a bit funny that Ginny bought break again, since there was still enough left, Ginny dialed Mia's telephone number:
-„Hallo, wer ist da?" (Hello, who's there?)
-"Hi Mia, it's me Jenny." Ginny had changed her name Ginevra Weasley to Jennifer Serpenso. (And I don't think I'll write the whole conversation in German. That would take much too long.)
-"Mia, can you do me a favor and look after the kids today?"
-"No problem. But don't you think they are old enough by now to stay alone at home?"
-"Normally: yes but at the moment no. I'll explain later. We'll be at quarter to 12 at you're house, ok?
-"That's ok. I planed on being home all day. Just bring them when you have time."
-"Thanks, see you soon."
-"Bye"
-"Tschüss" (Bye)
Then Ginny went into Jades room since a lot of noise came from there. The room was a total mess. Most of the toys were broken, the lamp was smashed and Tom and Jade were just bending their pencils until they broke into a half. At that sight, Ginny got really angry: "What are you doing? Why are destroying you're room? Just because you don't live here anymore? Answer me. NOW!" Jade was the first to say something: "Sorry mum. We wanted to practice this new spell. Reparo. It's a spell to repair things. But they have to be broken to repair them."
"But you didn't need to damage you're whole room!"
"We wanted to make a competition out of it. Who can mend the most things." Tom said.
"Ok, you'll repair everything now. But if I see one thing in my house broken or damaged because of some stupid competition, I'll take you're wand and you won't get them back till we're on platform…"
"9 ¾, mum"
"Thank you, 9 ¾. And when you're ready we're driving to Mia, where you'll stay the rest of the day."
"You aren't staying with us by "Tante Mia"? Why?" Jade asked, while repairing a wooden horse.
"I'm
interviewing some people at 12 and after that I'm talking to my
boss because I want to work longer when you and Tom are at Hogwarts."
Ginny lied. The rest of the drive was quiet; everybody was lost in
his or her own thoughts. They finally arrived at Mia's house at 2
to 12. It was a small stone house with a tiny garden in front. Tom
and Jade had always loved to play the trees, Ginny remembered. But
now Mia was struggling to cut them down.
"Hey, there you are.
I've been waiting for you. Jade would you get me one of the blue
sacks, to put the leaves in, you which one I mean. And Tommy saw this
branch of, will you, while I'm holding it down. Hi Jenny, when are
you picking them up?" Mia shouted from the top of a ladder.
"It'll take a while. See you in a few hours. I love you don't forget." Shouting the last word Ginny went to her car, got in and drove to next parking lot and into a parking space. After she had made sure, nobody was watching she took her necklace off. Slowly she transformed from Jenny to Ginny, her hair became redder and her face looked younger and softer. But she wasn't finished yet, because she just couldn't walk into Dumbledore's office as Ginny Weasley and say something like: "I know everybody thinks I'm dead but I'm not and I'd like a job, please." Ginny mumbled a spell (I won't think of the right one now, I'm terrible in Latin but it should be something like muta faciem, change face or muta cupum, change body), then put the necklace back on, while concentrating how her new look should be. This time her hair turned into a mixture of brown and black, her skin was more tanned and her face once again looked slightly older but this time stricter. She checked her watch after that getting a shock. It was 12:05! Her meeting with Dumbledore was at 12. She would be to late, so much for a good first expression. At once she disapparated to Hogwarts. Well to the Hogwarts gates, since everybody knows you can't apparate onto the Hogwarts grounds (see Hogwarts, a history). The gates weren't open so Ginny rang the big bell hanging there, Professor McGonagall came some minutes later. She didn't look very happy.
"I'm Minerva McGonagall; I'm here to bring you to Professor Dumbledore. Follow me." She said and started to walk towards Hogwarts. On the way, Ginny tried to start a conversation;
"I'm Jennifer Aenigma. But I suppose you know that already." She laughed nervously. "I'm sorry I'm to late…"
"You're not too late, you're much too early. You should come at 12. It's 11:12!"
"But my watch says 12:12. I don't understand…oh, no I forgot the time difference. Germany is an hour beyond England. I'm really sorry Professor, if Professor Dumbledore is busy at the moment I'll com back in 50 minutes."
"Since you're here now, you might as well talk to him earlier. Bubble drops." She gestured up. "Dumbledore is waiting for you."
Ginny slowly went up the stairs. Memories of her first year came up, but she pushed them back. Dumbledore's office hadn't changed since that time. He himself didn't look so fine. He seemed to have noticed her thoughts. "I'm getting old. Perhaps I'll have to retire soon." He smiled sadly. "But now to something more pleasant: You came here because of the job as Defense against the dark arts teacher. Do you have any qualifications?"
"I'm sorry, no. I haven't worked as a teacher before, you must know. But I went to a wizard school. I had hoped that would be enough."
"Since nobody else wants the job and the school year starts in a week, you've got the job. I do hope you'll stay longer then a year. I had hoped it would end after Voldemorts death but every teacher leaves because of different reasons after a year. This parchment tells you everything you need to know. And it doesn't matter that you came too early. I'll see you in a week. Goodbye."
"Thank you. See you then." With those words, Ginny went out of his office. Professor McGonagall was already waiting for her to take her back.
"I assume you got the job, by the look on you're face. Perhaps you will stay longer than a year, but I doubt it."
"Is it really true that every DADA teacher left after a year?"
"Yes, so sad it is, it has been nearly 20 year like that now. The last few year no one wanted to take the job it's not like something dreadful happens to the teachers. But 2 (Quirrel & some other) of them died, 1 lost his memory, 1 went crazy and another disappeared. Of course, nobody knows about the other reasons like marriage, retirement or a better job." McGonagall stopped by the gates. "We'll see us in a week, I suppose. "
"Yes, we will. Goodbye."
"cu" The Professor said and walked back. Ginny waited until she wasn't able to see McGonagall anymore and then, with a last look at Hogwarts, disapparated back into her car. Her watch said 1:30. She still had much time till she had to get Tom and Jade but it was much nicer to spent the day with them and Mia, then by herself Ginny decided. So she drove back, after switching back with the necklace, to Mia's house. She told everyone her boss had a new job for her. To travel through the world and write articles. Mia was quite upset. Not only the twins going to a privatschool in England, Ginny wouldn't be there to.
Next chapter. Soon. I think. And I think about bringing Tom in. But that will take a long while.
