Alexander and Hermione were having great fun at being Assistant Professors. Not only were they doing the first 3 years in Potions by themselves, after the first lesson with each class, but they had also taken over for Professor Flitwick when he was called off by the Duelling Guild for the day, and had helped Professor Grubbly-Plank with her classes when she showed off Nye, who basked in the attention that everyone was showing him and could now be seen trotting around the actual grounds instead of simply the forest. Bill had dragged them into his first class with the twins, he hadn't admitted it straight out but having them in the class allowed the man to turn his back safely; though he was still pranked somehow, not knowing that it had been by the demigods.

Their biggest endeavour though was the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of their second week into term; the day before, of, and after the full moon. Those days, they were split up, something they didn't enjoy at all; Hermione was doing Potions while Alexander had to oversee the DADA classes. By not being together, it deprived them of a second set of eyes, greatly more needed in the latter class than the former as wands weren't used often in Potions.

Things were fine, though a few of the 7th year Slytherins had issues taking class from a 3rd year Gryffindor, but they soon got over it after a hastily formed duel was done. Lex had earned their respect for now. He had taken many points off but also given them, not only to Gryffindor and the Slytherin who he had duelled had gotten 15 points for his correct duelling technique.

Severus volunteered to take over the potions lesson that coincided with the 3rd year Gryffindor/Slytherin DADA class, but Hermione had been adamant in stating that that was the one class she had no fear for Lex's safety in. Which was true as the second Weasley drew his wand to try and attack the wizard from behind, he himself was attacked from behind by Draco, who was given 10 points in defending AP Potter.

3 afternoons a week and on Saturdays, following lunch, the demigods held tutoring lessons for anyone who they had told to be there or wished to be there. Their classroom was consistently filled, all houses and years mixing together. It got to the stage that the couple were forced to create sign-up sheets for the classes, their room just wasn't big enough. Though Luna, Faye, Neville, and amazingly for most people, Draco were always on the list, permanent fixtures; Faye had organised with Oliver Wood about Quidditch practice, and even threatened to quit if he didn't approve of it. That had been funny to watch as she had done it in the middle of the Gryffindor common room, one day when the demigods were up there.

Every Saturday night the couple would sleep in the forest, then go straight into training the next morning. Grunhot and Thurhot were greatly impressed by the speed at which Alexander and Hermione caught onto different methods, they were adding in weapons to their forms in the morning, just to spice things up a little bit. When the two trainers said it was a shame they were essentially humans, the teens had blushed so deep they looked like tomatoes.

Remus had gone that first afternoon to visit his old friend. From what he told the teens the next morning, having gone to Severus earlier to get a Hangover Cure, the two Marauders had spent a couple hours talking about them and then gotten completely wasted the rest of the time So the werewolf joined in as one of the few people around who called the demigods their true names.

Hermione's given birthday flew past in a rain of gifts, classes, and a passionate kiss from her boyfriend the second she woke up in his arms, in their office of course as they had fallen asleep there. She was overjoyed with the reception she received at that afternoon's tutoring session, a banner and cake that Dobby had made for her, depicting the Greek Pantheon, though some had wondered what that was doing on the cake.

On the final day of September, Amelia walked into the Great Hall during breakfast; she was wearing her Wizengamot robes and a large grin on her face. Susan waved at her aunt but didn't bother her, knowing she would be there on important business. That morning, Lex and Mia had chosen to sit up on the Staff Table, and smiled down at the witch as she approached, "Good morning Madam Bones, what news have you brought us mere mortals of Hogwarts?"

The woman shook her head at the hidden joke before handing over the scroll from her pocket, "As of 2 freaking am this morning, there is a new Minister for Magic."

Gasps rang out over the Great Hall; all eyes were now firmly planted on the trio who were talking. Looking over the transcripts for the Vote of No Confidence, Lex and Mia smiled, "And who is the new Minister?"

"Oh, a nice wizard, I've known him for years, only flaw is his youngest son, can't seem to keep his mouth shut, and his third son, who's nose is destined to be firmly pressed against an arse," Amelia could see that Bill knew who she was talking about, his head nodding as he shook it.

"Ah, well congratulate Minister Weasley for us; we're very pleased to know that the Ministry is to be run by someone who knows what the hell they're doing."

"You've got to be kidding!" The twins called out together, unbelieving of their father being placed as Minister.

Amelia laughed softly, "That was your father's reaction when he was called in at 2am to be sworn in. I believe it is the first time we have sworn in a Minister whilst he wore his pyjamas."

Many people laughed at hearing that, though the young couple could see that two sets of blue eyes were gleaming with unjustified power and plotting. Percy and Ronald were going to try and use their father's new position for their own things; they would have to go and see the man, personally congratulate him on getting the position.

"Well thank you for tell us Madam Bones, please send Minister Weasley our congratulations and our hope to see him in the near future," Hermione told the woman.

Amelia tipped her head, and left the hall, throwing her niece a smile as she passed by. When she was gone, all of Gryffindor, and most of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw cheered, while Slytherin applauded politely at the replacing of an obviously incompetent Minister. Minerva didn't bother trying to call them to order, she too was overjoyed at the replacement of Fudge.

Once they were all settled, Minerva got to her feet, "The appointment of Minister Weasley is a step in the right future. For now though, all of you have classes to be getting to, so hop to it."

With many grumbles from the students and professors, everyone slowly moved from the Great Hall, though not many minds were settled on schoolwork that day.
