"Ginny, wake up darling, we have to get ready for the students today" It was the first day of school. We were all exhausted, and by we I mean every professor. We would be doing our last-minute preparations for the arrival of the students, because it was already September 2nd! I would be busily checking and re-checking lesson plans, I had the first 2 weeks done. Suddenly, Ginny was in the bathroom, puking. We thought it had stopped last week! I was instantly by her side, holding her hair and rubbing her back. When she was finished, she got changed and we both headed down to breakfast, because the house elves made meals year round because some of the professors lived in the castle even during the summer holidays.
We were greeted by the aroma of French toast and bacon, and Ginny ran to her seat at the High Table and started loading her plate. She had been worse than Ron these past 6 months! We were happy to see Hagrid, who cooked or ate out in Hogsmeade all summer. Professor Slughorn was also back, teaching Potions. There were plenty of new teachers though, who I soon met and learned the names of. They were Professor Longbottom (Neville was teaching Herbology – surprised I didn't recognize him!), Professor Trayarus who taught Astronomy, Professor Liliano who taught Divination and Professor Dame who taught Transfiguration. I also was glad to see Professor Binns from History of Magic, Professor Flitwick from Charms and Professor Grubbly-Plank from Care of Magical Creatures.
Breakfast was soon over and ther reunion had ended. Ginny and I have walked back up to our classroom and done our own inspection of the room. Everything was in order and that was about half the day gone. It was time for lunch, but Ginny didn't feel like going down, so I walked to the Great Hall and brought up food for both of us. We then stopped in McGonagall's office to get our schedules for hallway-watch, but she informed us that we would not be participating as we would probably be up anyway because of Ginny being pregnant. Yay for us?
With it now being late afternoon, Ginny and I took a walk around the grounds. We were quite happy with what we had done, and were very excited about the upcoming schoolyear and the due date which was quickly approaching.
A/N - I couldn't resist updating! Do you like the chapters switching POVs? Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter (though how cool would that be?)
