Hogwarts and Letters

New York - University of Avalon

The next morning the four housemates all work up feeling hung-over and slight nauseous. Alyssa had thrown up four times already and Daniel had been holding her hair trying not to through up himself. Kyle was laid on the sofa with a cold flannel over his forehead trying to get rid of his headache.

Hermione walked out of her bedroom wearing old jogging bottoms and a tank top. Her head was banging and the thought of food made her feel sick.

'Morning.' She mumbled as she sat down in the arm chair.

'Morning.' Kyle mumbled back as he tried to move. 'I feel awful. I didn't think we had drunk that much.'

'I think it was the cocktails which finished us off.' Hermione said as she put her legs over the arm of the chair. 'Have you got classes today?'

'Yes unfortunately. My class starts in an hour; I don't know if I'll make it through though.' He said.

'I'm so glad I have Friday off. I'm going to recover and then write thank you notes to my friends.' She said.

'Writing love letters to your Professor Hermione.' Kyle said smiling.

'No.' she said as she rolled her eyes. 'I'm writing him a letter to say thank you for the book he sent.'

'Sure.' He said as he stood up. 'Right I'm going to have a shower and see if that makes me feel better. Have a good day writing your love letters, oh sorry I mean thank you letters.'

Hermione rolled her eyes and watched as Kyle walked away into his room. Ten minutes later Alyssa and Daniel walked out their bedrooms both looking as bad as each other. They both fell onto the sofa and said a quick hello to Hermione.

Hermione went back into her bedroom and cleared up her clothes from last night. She chucked her dress and underwear into the washing basket and put her shoes away. She then sat down at her desk and got out her letters.

The first letters she wrote was to Harry and Ginny.

Dear Harry,

Thank you ever so much for my lovely jumper, I've already worn it once; please thank Ginny for me. I wish you were both here to celebrate with me. As soon as I'm back home will have to go out.

I'm glad work is going well before you know it you'll be running that place. Harry Potter senior Auror I can see it now.

As for proposing Harry James Potter, I think it's a wonderful idea. You and Ginny are made for each other. I only wish I could find love like you have with Ginny. I look forward to hearing wedding bells in the near future. I know Molly and Arthur would love you to be an official Weasley as such.

University is going well. Professor Snape came to visit a couple of weeks ago. He took one of my lectures. We went for coffee after, he seems different from the last time I saw him; well the last time I saw him he was unconscious and nearly dead but he seemed different from how I remembered him.

I hope to be home the second week of December so get my room ready! Missing you loads.

Love Hermione.

PS: Give Ginny a hug from me.

The second letter she wrote was to Ron. She kept it short and sweet and made sure he knew she would get that drink off him.

Ronald,

Thank you for the birthday wishes. I'll keep you to that promise.

Hope you're doing well. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Love Hermione.

She then wrote to Minerva thanking her for the book on charms.

Dear Minerva,

Thank you ever so much for the book n charms; it's been helpful already. University is going well although I know this year is going to be stressful. Professor Snape came to Avalon a few weeks back I'm sure you've heard he took one of my lectures.

The students in my lecture were very amazed at Professor Snape's skills and teaching style. He even awarded me ten points to Gryffindor which I don't think he ever did when I was at school.

I don't know if you know my Professor Snape has offered me to be his apprentice after I get my degree. I am seriously thinking it through. I would love to come back to Hogwarts; it's like coming home. I miss it terribly.

I finish this semester at the beginning of December and will be back around the 10th. I hope to make a trip to Hogwarts as soon as I'm home.

Look forward to seeing you soon.

Love Hermione.

She then wrote a short note to Molly and Arthur thanking them for winter hat and mittens and told them she would be home for Christmas and she would join them like always for Christmas lunch.

Since the end of the War, Hermione had been an honorary Weasley. She was like another daughter to the Weasley's. Without Molly, Hermione didn't know if she would have coped. She loved Molly like a mother and she knew if she ever needed help or advice she was there for her.

Her final letter was to Severus. She started the letter to only through the first one in the bin. She then started a second one to through that in the bin. Finally her third letter seemed to be okay.

Dear Severus,

I would like to thank you for the book. It has been most helpful and I have already started to read it. I'm thinking of trying one of the potions for my final assignment. I may be asking you lots of questions when you come back to New York.

I have been thinking about your offer to be your apprentice and I really would like to do that. I have asked Professor Glover to owl you my last year's assignments so you can see my work.

I will be visiting Hogwarts hopefully in the second week of December before Christmas break; maybe I could sit in one of your seventh year classes. When are you coming to New York do you know a definite date?

Thank you for the birthday wishes; how did you know it was my birthday?

Anyway, thank you again.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hermione.

Hermione sent all the letters by her owl and then went back into her bedroom. She went into her bathroom and took a long bath soaking in the hot water; this was exactly what she needed after a hard night out.

Hermione laid back in the water wetting her curly hair. She ran her hands through her wet hair and then sat up letter the water drip down her back. She reached across and grabbed her strawberry shampoo and squeezed some out into her hand. She rubbed the shampoo into her hair and massaged it into her head. She then washed it out and repeated with the conditioner.

After washing her hair she got out of the bath and applied her silk moisturiser. She then put on her black jeans and a white t-shirt and lounged about on her bed surrounded by books for her latest assignment.

Hogwarts School

'Finally Severus.' Minerva said as he walked into her office. 'I've been waiting nearly an hour for you. Your last class finished ages ago.'

'I'd had other things to attend to Minerva surly you know that.' He said as he sat down. 'Now what is it you wish to discuss?'

'Hermione Granger.' She said with a smile. 'She wrote to me today; I hear you are going to take her on as your apprentice. You've never taken an apprentice, well there was that once student Mr...'

'Matthews.' Severus grumbled. 'He was awful. He was more interested in the seventh year pupils than his work.'

'Well I don't think Ms Granger will be interested in seventh year teenage boys.' Minerva said with a slight smirk. 'So you'll going to take Hermione on as an apprentice?'

'If she gets the grades.' He replied.

'Of course she'll get the grades. Have you forgotten she got the highest potions marks since yourself?' Minerva said smiling.

'She didn't beat me she got exactly the same.' He said like a stubborn child. 'Like I have told Ms Granger, if she gets the grades that I have asked for then she will be my apprentice.'

'Well I for one can't wait for Hermione to be back at Hogwarts. She wrote a lovely letter to me this morning. I can tell she missing being here.' Minerva said smiling. 'I sent her a lovely book for her birthday. Twenty one; if only we could be that age.'

'I'll have you know I am not over the hill yet Minerva. I am only forty.' Severus said as he crossed his arms.

'Oh I know that Severus but don't you remember how you felt when you were twenty one. It was like your life was just beginning. I started here at Twenty one and I met Albus again.' She said with dreamy eyes.

'I don't wish to know of your personal relationship with Albus.' Severus said feeling slight sick.

'Oh Severus.' She said as she laughed. 'You're still young, you could find the one.'

'The one.' Severus said as he rolled his eyes. 'I don't believe in such things Minerva. You sound like Sybill.'

'Maybe you should go see Sybill she might be able to predict if a witch is in your future Severus.' She said smiling.

'I have no need for an annoying Witch.' Severus said as he crossed his legs and his ankles. 'I am fine as I am and I do not need you to match make Minerva. Albus did that enough of that.'

'It was for your own good son.' A voice said from behind Minerva. 'Good Afternoon.'

'Afternoon Albus.' Minerva said as she smiled up at him.

'So did I hear correct Miss Granger is coming back to Hogwarts?' He asked.

'Your heard correctly Albus. Hermione will be coming back to be Severus's apprentice in hopes that she will become the new Potions Mistress when he becomes Headmaster.' Minerva said smiling.

'What a wonderful idea.' Albus said smiling from his portrait.

'I'm afraid I'll have to leave you two to it.' Severus said as he stood up. 'I have a class to teach unlike you too.'

'Have a good day Severus.' Albus said as he waved.

'See you tonight for our staff meeting Severus.' Minerva said as she watched him stalk out of the office.

Severus walked out of the Headmistresses office and walked through the hallways of Hogwarts. He made his way down to his classroom in the dungeons. His last lesson of the day was his seventh years.

'Sit down, silence and open your books to page 345.' He said as she swept into the classroom though the tables of students. 'You will read the whole chapter, make notes and then give them in. If I deem them correct you will start on the potion if not you will begin again. No talking.'

The students like they had done for many years quickly opened their books and started to work. Severus sat at his desk and looked around the room. His eyes stopped in the middle of the room; nearly five years ago Hermione Granger sat in that exact seat, she sat writing as the students were now.

He imagined her in his head. She wasn't as she was when she was student. She was no longer a girl but a woman, a young adult. Her unruly hair was now tamed; he wondered if her temper had been tamped but he suspected it hadn't. She was still petite, well against him anyone was petite.

Ever since he had come back from New York she had been on his mind. He went to sleep thinking about her and he woke up thinking about her; he even dreamt of her. He had never in his entire working life ever fantasised about a student but she had changed all of that.

The night he returned to Hogwarts he dreamt of Hermione. He dreamt that he took her on his desk in the classroom. He woke up with a hard on and stalked off to the shower to stand under freezing water.

At the age of forty he was ashamed to say that he was have dreams about a twenty one year old woman. A young woman who he taught and probably thought of him as a mentor not a lover.

'Sir.' a voice said which broke him from his thoughts. 'I'm done.'

'Really Ms Redbook?' He said as he pulled her work into his hands and quickly looked over it. 'It's seem you have. Get your ingredients and caldron and start work.'

'Yes Professor.' The peitie girl said as she rushed off to the store room.

After class had finished Severus walked through his personal office and up the stairs to his private Quarters. Most people thought Severus lived in dark dungeons however his Quarters were very different. His living room was decorated in creams and chocolate browns; it was homely and comfortable and Severus liked it.

As he walked into his living room, he went straight to his coffee table where the house elves normally left his post. He picked up the few letters and sat down in his arm chair and started to open them.

The first letter was from Professor Glover in New York asking him to come back sooner than December. He quite liked that idea of going back to New York; he would have to speak with Minerva after the staff meeting to see if he could get some time off.

The second letter was from Lucius. Lucius wrote reminding Severus that Draco's stag do would be on the 15th and that he was definitely coming along. He would not be leaving Lucius alone with Draco's friends. Severus smirked at the idea of pulling out last minute and leaving Lucius alone with Draco, Blaise and Marcus.

The third letter was from Hermione. He read the letter quickly and smiled slightly when she thanked him for the book and wondered how he knew it was her birthday. He looked at her writing; still the same as he remembered.

He stood up from his arm chair, letter in hand and walked to his office. He sat down and grabbed a new parchment. He grabbed his muggle pen and started to write to Hermione.
