Harry Potter and the Founder's Power
I do not own Harry Potter or anything related to the franchise, owned by J.K. Rowling and Warner Brothers.
Thanks for the reviews, keep them coming :)
Chapter Three
"First name Edward," said a nervous looking short balding man. "Last name King. I'm applying for the Defense Against the Dark Arts job."
"And your OWL and NEWT scores?" asked Harry.
"An Outstanding in OWL, and Exceeds Expectations in NEWT," he said.
"Any prior experience?" asked Harry.
"Yes, I was able to help students through their OWLs."
"How exactly?"
"Um..."
"If you cannot answer, this interview is over," said Harry coldly.
"Umm...alright, I was able to tell them the answers through telepathy, and get them good grades."
"You are aware of the illegality of your actions? I have no choice but to turn you in to the Ministry."
Harry cast a spell on the man and he disappeared. Hermione walked in. Harry got up and gave her a kiss on her cheek. "Any good applicants?"
"None," said Harry. "What about asking someone from the Order? Like Bill Weasley?"
"Of course!" squeaked Hermione. Harry threw some Floo powder into the fireplace and said, "Bill Weasley!"
Soon Bill's head popped up over the fire. "What is it Harry?"
"Would you be willing to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts?"
"I would be honored," said Bill, smiling. "Although Ron doesn't want me to have any interaction with you."
Harry got annoyed at the mention of Ron's name, but was happy to have found a teacher. "Alright, just come to Hogwarts tomorrow then."
"Sure," said Bill, disappearing from the fire.
"Harry? Do you mind if I teach Muggle Studies too?" asked Hermione.
"Are you sure you can handle it?"
Hermione's eyebrows were raised. "No, I don't mean you're not capable, it's just...you'll have a lot of work to do."
"I can manage that," said Hermione.
"Then sure," said Harry.
At that point, Draco walked into the room with a tall man dressed in green robes following him. "You're Harry Potter. Do you remember me?"
"Um, sorry, no," said Harry, trying to remember where he had seen that face before.
"Adrian Pucey," the man introduced himself. "You beat me in your first Quidditch match against Slytherin. I was the Seeker."
Harry remembered now. "He's here for the Potions job, and I think he's fully qualified," explained Draco.
"Well, welcome to the Hogwarts Staff then," said Harry.
Just then, Bill's face came up in the fire again. "Hey Harry, do you need another teacher? Fleur doesn't want to be so far from me, and she wants to teach."
"Can she teach Transfiguration then?" asked Harry.
"I can do zat," said Fleur, in her French accent.
"Then, let her come tomorrow as well," said Harry. "We have all our teachers."
The next day, Harry, Hermione, Draco and Luna all went into the Great Hall and sat at a table. Slowly, the new teachers arrived. First was Professor McGonagall. She shook their hands and said, "Thank you for giving me my job back."
"You will also be Deputy Headmistress under us," said Harry kindly. "Since you were to be the Headmistress."
"Thank you," she said, and went to her seat.
Next was Professor Flitwick. He told Hermione that he would be delighted to teach with her. After that, Bill and Fleur walked in. "Bill, you'll be teaching with me," said Harry. "And Fleur, you'll teach with Professor McGonagall."
Fleur went to sit by McGonagall as they began to talk about Transfiguration. Neville and Professor Sprout came together and sat down together as well. Adrian Pucey came in after them. Professor Vector and Professor Sinistra came in following Adrian. Hagrid and Professor Grubbly Plank came in after that. Hagrid burst into tears because Harry had given him a job at Hogwarts. Professor Trelawney and Firenze came in too, arguing about their methods of Divination, like always. Last, Ginny walked in. She was staring at Harry. She was furious that him and Hermione had gotten together. But she didn't care too much about that, she knew she could seduce him.
"Right, we're all here," said Harry. "Welcome to the new Hogwarts. Hermione will give you all maps to the layout so that you will know where everything is. The houses take our names- Potter, Granger, Lovegood and Malfoy. We are the heads of the Houses. Sorting will be done at random, with no stereotypes about the Houses. If you will all line up and sign your names on this parchment. This is your contract, the contents of which are on the back of your map."
The teachers came up one by one to sign the contract.

Everyone then dispersed into the castle, exploring it and then heading to their offices and setting up their classrooms. At the end of the day, Harry called everyone back into the Great Hall. "School begins at the beginning of September, like usual. Please arrive here the day before the start. You will be allowed to connect your fireplaces at your home to the fireplace in your office by Floo Network. From next summer onward, you will be allowed to remain at the school to stay if you wish."
The teachers all left, but Ginny stayed. She walked up to Harry and forced him into a kiss. Harry tried to fight his way out, but Ginny held him tight. Hermione saw what Ginny was doing, and took out her wand. Draco saw the danger and quickly held Hermione's hand away. "Stop that right now!" she screamed.
Harry finally was able to push Ginny away. She was furious. "You have to choose Harry. It's her or me. If you choose her, I will leave!" shouted Ginny.
Harry looked at Hermione and Ginny. He walked towards Hermione and placed his hand on her shoulder. "I love you."
"You can't...but she's a horrid bookworm! I've won beauty competitions. I've loved you since my first year!"
"I love Hermione," declared Harry again.
Ginny drew out her wand, but Draco was quicker with his, and he shot a spell at her. She covered her face and ran out of the hall. "Draco!" said Luna disapprovingly. "What did you do?"
"She loves her beauty too much. So now she doesn't have it," said Draco. "She has a bunch of boils and pimples on her face. Temporarily, of course."
Hermione smiled at Draco. "Thank you."
Then she turned to Harry. "Did you mean that? What you said?"
"Yes," said Harry.
Hermione drew him in for a kiss. Draco and Luna smiled at each other as they watched.
"I guess we need a new History of Magic teacher then," said Draco. "I'll find one," he added when Harry and Hermione had still not drawn away from their kiss.
Luna and him left the Great Hall and into their offices. Soon, Harry and Hermione did the same.
"Ginny! What happened?" asked Ron.
"Malfoy, Harry and that Mudblood!" yelled Ginny, through sobs. "Harry loves the Mudblood!"
"Hermione is mine!" said Ron. "And Harry was to be for you. We'll get our revenge. We can become the most powerful people even Harry can't destroy. We'll become even more powerful that Voldemort."
