"I think he would have to, you excel in every class you are in, and if you show genuine interest in the class, then I don't think he would have a problem with it."
"I think he might." said a voice from behind them. It was, of course, Dumbledore. "I am already going to have enough work because of the two of you. I have to move your personal effects to the engagement dorms, and that is a task I would not have a house elf do, last year a house elf found some rather , umm, interesting things in one of the engagement rooms."
"Proffessor, we were just talking about you." Harry said, to which Dumbledore just smiled and replied, "I know. You see, it is a rather interesting little tale, but when your parents were killed, and I decided to place you with your aunt and uncle, i placed a charm that would allow me to monitor you, and you me. That means any time you, Harry say my name, I have to make it known that I heard you, and since I had nothing better to do, I decided I might as well drop by here so i can discuss a few things with you. Hermione, The other teachers and I have discussed this long and hard, and MOST of us agree that since Mrs Trelawney has decided not to teach this year as she is pregnant, that you would be the best choice for the job, as you already have experience with time travel and most other forms of divination.
"Proffessor, I-I don't know what to say." Hermione managed to croak out. "That would make two times today that this anomoly has happenned." was the only reply Dumbledore made before leaving the room to have a cup of tea with Mrs. Granger.
"Freaky, he is." said another, much more familiar voice from the other doorway. "Ron!" exclaimed Harry as he ran up to give his friend a hug. "When did you get here?" "Well, my mum and me came with Dumbledore, because he said it would be quicker to talk to Hermione's and my mum and dad at the same time if it was ok with them, and of course my dad jumped at the chance to see a decent muggle house, since your aunt and uncle are, well, to tell the truth, wankers. No offense Harry." "None taken Ron, but I am going to have beg your forgiveness, I told hermione what you told me right after summer vacation started"
Ron just chuckled. "Why do you think I told you? I knew you couldn't keep a secret from 'mione, and from what Dumbledore says, you two are engaged now, so you should tell each other everything." He laughed again. "Besides, we are the trio of the century, you think I would hide the fact that I am gay from one of our own? Seriously Harry, sometimes I wonder how you survive in this world."
Hermione finally spoke up."You know though Ron, we are going to put up with even more bludgeoning from malfoy once he finds out. Oh, and by the way, you have a new divination teacher this year." Ron moaned, "Did Dumbledore tell you who it was? He only told me that I had already met the person. Do you think that it's Lupin?" Harry smiled and said, "It's not Lupin Ron, it's Hermione."
Harry thought that Ron's jaw would fall off, with how close to the floor it was dropping. "Blimey, Hermione, I thought that you hated Divination, that it was a load of rubbish." "No,"came Hermione's smooth, silky reply."I simply think that it is rubbish the way that Proffessor Trelawney was teaching it. I truly feel that Divination could be an intruiging subject to teach, given the right material, and that we all could benefit from some decent teaching methods, don't you Harry?"
Harry, who had been thinking that Hermione was very beautiful when she was lecturing, had been paying no attention at all to what she had been saying. "Huh, oh, yeah." was about as pathetic a reply as he could muster, and he did. (Harry, do you think we should tell Ron about the fact that we can communicate with eachother through our minds?) Hermione thought at Harry. (No, not yet, I am sure that he already feels left out as it is, since we will be in different dorms than him.) He replied. (I think that is the most well thought out reply I have ever heard out of you, and I disagree, I mean if we don't tell him, he will find out anyways, and be pissed off that we didn't tell him.) "Well, ok then, if you say so." Harry replied. "If I say what?" Ron asked. Hermione looked at Harry with an "i told you so" look, and walked out of the room.
"Well Ron, see the thing is, uh..." Harry started. "Come on man, out with it." Ron interjected. "Well," Harry started again, "Hermione and I can speak to eachother with our minds." "I was wonder5ing when you were going to tell me." Ron casually replied. "It's common knowledge that when two wizards meet their soulmates, they can hear eachother's thoughts.Duh."
