Life after the War

It's good to be back at Hogwarts

Today is the day. Today is the day I go to work. It's funny, I always thought I'd work with Fred and George at the joke shop. But now, I'm married to George and working at Hogwarts. 

"I'm gonna miss you so much!" George said, hugging me tightly. I hugged him back. 

"I'll miss you too. But I'll see you soon. Both of you. And I'll write to you all the time." I promised. I then picked Adam up, who was sitting on the couch. I held him close to me. "I love you. Both of you so much."

----------------------

I sat at the teachers table. I sat between Professor Flitwick, who sat at the very end, and Hagrid, who sat beside Madame Hooch. Mcgonagall sat at the head of the table, her being Headmaster and everything. Professor Slughorn was still going to be a potions teacher. But what surprised me was Neville Longbottom was the Herbology teacher now. He was siting beside Madame Hooch and Mcgonagall. I smiled at him and waved. He did the same. 

I looked out into the tables of students. I noticed Hermione and Ginny and I waved at them. I saw Luna Lovegood sitting beside a Ravenclaw boy at the Ravenclaw table. She had her hair pulled up in a bun, which is a first. I waved at her and she waved back. 

Mcgonagall stood up and waled outside. A few moments later she brought in a bunch of nervous looking first years. The sorting hat sung a song about new friendships between the Houses and studd like that. Mcgonagaal then started calling out names. 

"Mackenzie, Anner." 

"Gryfindor!" Shouted the Sorting Hat. The brown haired girl walked over to Gryfindor table, which erupted into applause. 

"Johnson, Emily." 

"Gryfindor!" 

"Fabian, David."

The Sorting Hat took a while before shouting out his answer. "Slitherin!" The Slitherin table clapped and congratulated the new Slitherin boy. Time went by and finally, the last person was called up to the Sorting Hat.

"Winegar, Savannah. 

 The timid girl hoped up on the stool and squirmed in her seat. Mcgonagall placed the Sorting Hat gently on the girls head. The Sorting Hat took very little time to decide on which House she should be in. 

"Gryfindor!" Said table burst out into applause, happy that the last student would be in their House. 

I clapped with the rest of the teachers and students. Then Mcgonagall stood up to start the speech before we start the feast. 

"Welcome students to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now that Voldemort is gone," Everyone burst out in applause, including me. It was quite a celebration that the darkest wizard of all time is gone for good. "There is no need to worry about cursed job positions. So I would like to welcome Mrs. Lexi Smith. She will be our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher." Again, a round of applause. "An our new Herbology teacher is Mr. Neville Longbottom." A few students snickered at his last name. It was somewhat funny but Neville is my friend and I would never laugh at his name. I clapped along with everyone else. 

"And now, I would like to begin the feast." Mcgonagall waved her wand at the tables and food magically appeared. She turned around and did the same to the teachers table, and then sat down at her spot. 

" 'his some gerd chicken, eh Lexi?" Hagrid said, his mouth so full of chicken. I giggled and nodded my head. Hagrid swallowed his food down in one gulp. " 'member when you were the one out there, with all the other kids?" He motioned towards the students before us. 

I smiled up at Hagrid. "Yeah, I do." I answered. 

------------------

Teachers and students live in different parts of the school. The students stay in their Houses. The teachers on the other hand, stay in rooms all around the school. Neville and I's rooms are right beside each other. Mcgonagall stays in her office-apparently theres a bedroom in there. And I don't know where everyone else is. 

After the feast, Neville and I walked down to our rooms. It was close to the Great Hall. I always thought these extra rooms were closets or something, but apparently their like bedrooms and stuff. Well, most of them are closets but still. 

"It's good to see you again Neville!

"Yeah, you too. It's weird that tomorrow we're going to be teaching our friends." Said Neville. I nodded my head. It was weird. Us teaching our friends. 

"Well, I'll see you in the morning then." I said, waving at Neville. He waved back and we went our seperate ways. 

I couldn't wait to teach in the morning.
