Blessing in Disguise

Hogwarts Huh?

** Charlie's POV**
RECAP : Clearly what ever McGonagall was about to tell me was good news. What ever they agreed upon made them both happy so that was a relief.
  I looked back at McGonagall to let her know I was ready to hear what the plan was that her and Rodney had come up with.
   I was met with a response I wasn't prepared for. "I want you to come teach at Hogwarts this year."

**End Recap**
  I just stood there in shock with my mouth hanging open. "Excuse Headmistress, but it sounded like you just asked me teach at Hogwarts?"
"I did indeed Mr. Weasley, just ask you to come
teach at Hogwarts."
"I didn't understand Headmistress, what exactly would I be teaching?"
"Care of Magical Creatures, Hagrid was the one to kindly offer up the position when he heard about the predicament you and Mark. Anderson are in. In fact he told me not to return until you took the position. Hagrid insist that Groundskeeper dutys keep him plenty busy as is."
I was still so stunned I couldn't even really begin to process what she was offering up. I couldn't believe it was real until Rodney decided to speak up. I almost forgot he was here with us and that we were seated in his office.
"If I may Charlie, Minerva here came directly to me to ask for my permission and to see if I thought you fit for the position. I know these last couple of weeks have been hard on you, and you've been so out of focus lately I couldn't agree more with Minerva about you taking this position.
Your the best person to take on this responsibility, and besides you owe it to Ms. Anderson to go about this marriage the right way, no matter how strange these circumstances may be. Besides, after a year if you and Ms. Anderson decide it best you, are always more than welcome to return here to the reserve in your current position. I'd be a fool not to take back my best Dragon tamer if he found his way back here." I could tell he was sincere by the way his smile reached his eyes when he spoke to me. Meaning he really want me to make this this whole situation work.
"I just wow...I can't believe this I told them. I don't know what to say, I'm still in shock by this proposal."
"Just say yes Charlie, you'd be a fool to do other wise" he told me and threw a wink with a smirk in my direction.
"Well Headmistress if it's really this easy, I think we best tell my future wife our good news!"
I couldn't help but let out a laugh, this all seemed so impossibly crazy and maybe I wasn't thinking this threw fully but I didn't care. I'd be back with the girl of my dreams in no time.

**Lauren's POV**
RECAP: "Slowing down as I reached the living room, I took two deep breaths to try and calm myself down. It has been three weeks since I've seen Charlie and I couldn't wait to wrap him in a hug. Only when I entered the room the first person I saw was Headmistress McGonagall. "Headmistress what are you doing here?"

**End Recap**
  "Now that's no way to great your fiancée now is it?"I heard someone ask. I turn around it it was non other than Charlie!
"Charlie! what's going on?" I asked as I ran towards him. Jumping into his arms and knocking him backwards a little as he lost his balance.
  "Miss me love?" Charlie asked in an amused tone, his eyes shown bright with mischief and humor.
  "Ahem" came a voice from behind us. "Sorry to interrupt, but I have a few matters to discuss with yourself and Mr. Weasley if that's all right?" Asked headmistress Mcgonagall.
  I turned around in Charlie's arms, a light blush sweeping across my cheeks. "Oh umm yes, sorry about that Headmistress."
  "Oh that's quite all right my dear, I've been told you and Mr. Weasley haven't see one another in quite some time."
"To busy to even respond to my letter he was" I replied back seriously.  But when I looked back at Charlie, I just grinned at him to show I was only joking with him (well sort of any ways).

I turned back around to face Headmistress Mcgonagall, "what is it that you came here for headmistress?" I tried asking as politely as possible. I was rather curious as to why she and Charlie were both here together.
"Well Ms.Anderson, I'm here to discuss a very impossible matter concerning Mr. Weasley, yourself and this marriage law. I've already talked this over with Mr.Weasley, but we need your cooperation with the matter as well. As I've already discussed with Mr. Weasley, you to are an a unique case. All other ministry pairings are within one year of each other.
With that being said, all returning students and their matches are to return to Hogwarts together for this final year as you will all be introduced to a new class that I can not discuss at further right now. Once I learned of you and Mr. Weasleys pairing, I knew this would be a tricky situation to navigate and that is why I have asked Mr. Weasley her to be our newest teacher at Hogwarts" She finished.

"He's going to be what!?" I sputtered out foolishly. I couldn't quite grasp what I had just heard come quite clearly out of my headmistress mouth. I turned to Charlie for to make sure I had just heard everything correctly.
"I was just as shocked as you love, when she asked me to accept the position. I thought she was crazy but I may be even crazier for accepting her offer" Charlie laughed. "Can you believe it, I Charlie Weasley a professor at Hogwarts School of Witch craft and Wizardry?!
"Now nothing is officially quite yet Ms. Anderson"headmistress Mcgonagall assured me. "We wanted to make sure this is something you are comfortable with as well."
"I just don't know what to say headmistress, this all seems so crazy." My gut is shooting off a million reasons why this arrangement could never work. I spoke aloud for the first time since Charlie confirmed that what Mcgonagall had just told me was in fact true and not some joke Fred and George we're trying to pull on us.
I let out a large sigh, this could never work. A student engaged to a professor! How crazy does that sound. I'll get made fun off, people might not take Charlie seriously! "Headmistress are you sure this is a good idea? Have you really given this enough thought?" I asked her seriously.
"My dear, The minister and myself both agreed this is the only way to make this relationship work, and still treat you like all the other pairings. But if your still worried, I'll have you know that any sort of bullying or intolerance from other students due to this matter will not be tolerated. Besides we've just been through a war, rules are meant to be changed. Besides I highly doubt anyone will see fit to argue against this, after all you and Charlie are soulmates. Paired together by law and magic, no one will dare argue that."
I took a moment to think about what Mcgonagall had just said. I looked between her and Charlie, and could hardly contain the smile that pulled at my lips when I saw the excitement in Charlie's eyes at this new prospect.
"Well Charlie looks like we're going to Hogwarts huh?!"
