Chapter 18

The rest of the week went good for the kids unfortunately for the adults it didn't go as well. Snape was still trying to convince Hermione that he had "only said it to piss off Potter." Harry and Ginny were back to getting along the way they did saying "Hello" in the morning and "Goodnight" before they went to bed there might be a few awkward conversations in between but, other than that nothing. Along with that Harry had to see Dumbledore daily to try and figure Gabby was having trouble finding a cheap apartment in Hogsmeade that was suitable to her standards of living. All the while though in the back of her head she kept thinking about the weekend and what she would be telling RJ. Of all the adults Ron had it best the only worry he had at the moment was telling RJ he was his dad other than that and the prophecy things were great. After only a week of being at Hogwarts Ron was already the favorite teacher to have History of Magic for the first time was the most favorite class.

Snape, Hermione, and a few other professors were sitting in the teachers lounge.

"Ugh" Hermione said "I feel like the students don't like me. I mean the boys sit there and stare at me while the girls just roll their eyes at me"

"I would've stared at one of my professors too if they had worn a shirt like that to class" Snape pointed out to her.

"I forgot I'm not talking to you" Hermione humphed.

Yes her shirt might've been a little low cut and possibly the tiniest bit tight but she had always been allowed to wear shirts like that at her old job. Oh, well at least it'll give Severus something to miss Hermione thought to herself.

"Hey Mione!" Ron said as he walked in smiling and sat himself down at the table.

"Hey Ron! You're first week go better than mine?"

"My first week was great! The kids seem to love me. I mean I never thought I'd love teaching so-"

"Ron?" a student had poked his head into the room form outside.

"Yeah?" Ron turned around "Oh, hey…Dan?"

"Yep that's my name. Um I was-"

"No students in the teacher lounge" Snape yelled at the student he was in a fowl mood now that Hermione wasn't talking to him again.

"I-I'm sorry I just w-w-wanted to ask Ron something"

"Ten points form Hufflepuff" Snape said.

"No, it's alright I told the kids that if I was in here and they needed me they could poke their head in the room to talk to me" Ron said trying to keep his cool he was actually pissed that Snape was yelling at the kid.

"Well I didn't" Snape said "Ten points Weas-"

"You can't take points from me any more Snape" Ron laughed in glee.

"Fine then 10 more form Hufflepuff"

"Oh no you don't 20 points to Hufflepuff"

"Fine 30 from Hufflepuff"

"40 to Hufflepuff"

"50 form Hufflepuff!" Snape said.

"Cut it out both of you!" Hermione said "60 points to Hufflepuff. Now Ron why don't you go out there and answer Dan's question?"

"Fine" Ron got up and left the room to talk to Dan.

"Why do you insist on being so mean?" Hermione asked Snape

"I don't wan t students in here while I'm in here I come here to get away from students."

Hermione hmphed at Snape as Ron walked back in the room.

"So, you're letting the students call you Ron?" Hermione asked him.

"Yeah, I mean why be so mean and uptight? I'd rather them call me Ron and be comfortable in my class and pass then be uncomfortable and fail. Like some other teachers but, I won't name names." Ron said glaring at Snape.

"You know Weasley it's not a popularity contest." Snape said "Just because you give them fun homework and are nice to them doesn't mean they'll pass."

"I don't give homework"

Hermione gasped she never thought anyone could do such a terrible thing. Snape rolled his eyes.

"You will soon enough. When they start to annoy you you're gonna assign double homework wait and see."

"Whatever Snape. Hermione I gotta go tonight's the night we tell RJ. I'm really nervous, but hopefully it'll go well."

"Oh don't be nervous just be yourself trust me, I've been through it." Hermione smiled at him.

"Thanks, I'll see you later" Ron said as he got up to leave.

Hermione nodded and waved as Ron left.

"I don't like that son of his he's a little to friendly with my daughter."

"Your daughter?" Hermione said

"No, Hermione I didn't mean it like that it's just that. I mean-"

"I have to go I have a student coming to me for some help" with that Hermione left.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

RJ was nervous after getting a letter from his mom on the first day he had received another the next day. It had said that he was to meet his Professor Ron or "Ron" as they all called him at the main entrance at 7 it was 6:45 now. The girls had asked him where he was going but he just told them that he had a detention he had to go to. Looking up at the clock in his room RJ got up and left he figured it'd take him 15 minutes to the main entrance since he didn't have Izzy who knew all the secret passage ways going with him. He got up and walked down to the main entrance there was Ron waiting on him. Why did his mom choose Ron to be the one to take him to her?

All his mom had said was that she had to tell him something important.

"Hi RJ" Ron said nervously his ears were turning red.

"Hi" RJ said back

"Well I guess we better get going your mum is going to meet us at a place called the Three Broomsticks." Ron said as he opened the door.

They walked in an awkward silence for a few minutes.

"So…" Ron said trying to break the awkwardness "how was your first week of school?"

"It was good I guess. As good as school can get anyways" RJ responded "So how many years have you been teaching here?"

"Actually this is my first year teaching here. But I went to school here when I was kid, I had some of the best times here and some of the worst but this is where I met my two best friends." Ron said

"Are you still friends with them?"

"Yes to this very day one of them is Professor Granger. Do you have her?"

"Yeah I like her she's nice she's my friends mum"

"Look we're here" Ron said as he opened the door to the bar.

Inside Gabby was waiting at a table she wasn't sure how they were going to do this. The two guys walked over to the table RJ hugged his mom and then sat down across from her. RJ got another shock when his professor sat down as well.

"Thanks for bring RJ" Gabby said to Ron.

Ron nodded back in return.
