Together [HP]

The sorting ceremony was the same as before. Whenever a new student joined Gryffindor, Hermione would take the lead in applauding to welcome the first-year freshmen.

Ginny was sitting next to Hermione, with a plain ring on her finger, but she still had a happy smile on her face.The main thing is not what she is wearing, but who gave her that ring.Hermione looked at the ring, she was really happy for Ginny, she knew very well how much Ginny admired Harry since she was a child, and how much they had experienced between them.

But Hermione's eyes would always look at the Slytherin table involuntarily. This was the first time Hermione tried to spend a full school year without Jacqueline's company.What should she do?Hermione asked herself, if no one looked at the same book with her, discussed homework with her, and looked at her with a smile...

Hermione shook her head, stopping herself from thinking any further.She looked up and continued to watch the sorting ceremony, if, um, if her and Jacqueline's child...

Hermione blushed. If they got married and had a child, where would the child be allocated?Slytherin or Gryffindor?If the kid was more like Jacqueline, maybe he'd be sorted into Slytherin, but...

Hermione chuckled, like one of Jacqueline's children?As smart as she is, so juggling?With dazzling blond hair and a smile?

Hermione looked at the blank cutlery in front of her, and grinned softly.A kid like Jacqueline?The 11-year-old Jacquiline appeared in front of Hermione's eyes. Perhaps that child should be younger and cuter.Of course, if she could, Hermione felt that she must change Jacqueline's goddamn, mocking smile.She would never allow their children to inherit that smile.Although, that smile on Jacqueline's face is so... well, harmonious, appropriate?

The applause on the Gryffindor table suddenly resounded, and Hermione was brought back to her senses. She quickly followed suit and applauded. A chubby, round-faced boy walked excitedly onto the Gryffindor table. , I kept thanking the people around me.

Hermione was separated by several people, she got up slightly and stretched out her hand to the boy, and said softly, "Congratulations, I'm Hermione Granger."

The boy looked a little flattered at the Head of School badge on Hermione's robes, and his eyes were very familiar to Hermione, quite familiar, the way she'd looked at Percy herself when she was a freshman in her first year.

Soon, the pale-haired Professor Flitwick was out carrying the Sorting Hat, rolled parchment, and a three-legged stool.

Professor McGonagall tapped her glass lightly, and the whispers in the auditorium gradually died down. Professor McGonagall stood up, and Hermione looked towards the teacher's desk, only then did she realize that there were some people on the teacher's desk. strangeness.Professor Flitwick was already sitting next to Professor McGonagall, Slughorn was sitting on the other side of Professor McGonagall, and the seat between Sprout and Professor Hodge was vacant, and there was obviously another The new teacher did not come.

"Welcome everyone to return to Hogwarts in the new school year." Professor McGonagall slowly scanned the entire hall. "Before the school starts, I hope everyone can pay attention to the following points. First, the Forbidden Forest is absolutely forbidden for students to enter. Whether it is the first grade or our old classmates, I hope you can firmly remember this point .”

Hermione straightened her back, and she looked at Professor McGonagall with determination in her eyes.Although the creatures in the Forbidden Forest fought side by side with them in that great war, whether they still accept wizards like them is still a question mark.

"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, wants me to remind everyone that magic is not allowed in the corridors between classes. In this regard, I hope our two student council presidents, and the prefects will do your part. "

The corners of Hermione's mouth curled up slightly, and she looked at the long table of Slytherin again, she knew very well that if Jacqueline was still there, she would just roll her eyes.

"There is another piece of happy news," Professor McGonagall paused. She glanced at the teacher's seat, and frowned dissatisfiedly when she saw the empty seat.

"This term, there are many new teachers coming to Hogwarts this year."

"First of all, Professor Wollaston Arnold will take over from me to teach the Transfiguration course."

There were some sparse applause from the audience.

"A second new teacher, Professor Celeste Campbell, is about to start teaching Muggle Studies."

There was still not much applause in the hall. Obviously, as long as they were normal students, they would not have much favor for those who would give them marks in the future.As for the 'know-it-all' Miss Granger sitting upright in the hall, looking intently at the new teachers, it was another matter entirely.

"As for our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, O'Connor Cecil will be in charge."

This time the applause was a little louder, and many old students had playful smiles on their faces. Obviously they were more interested in seeing if the new professor would break Hogwarts' yearly change. Tradition of a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"And as for the last professor..." Professor McGonagall frowned, she looked at the empty seat, very dissatisfied, "We can..."

"I'm sorry." The door of the auditorium suddenly opened.A person came out from the outside and walked quickly to the teacher's seat.

Hermione looked over, the black robe rolled, but the familiar blond hair, and her side face...

Hermione couldn't help opening her mouth, and whispers echoed in the hall.

How is it possible, Hermione felt butterflies flying in her stomach, she, why did she come here?

"Delayed by some things." Under the gaze of a group of people, Jacqueline walked quickly to the teacher's seat and sat next to Professor Sprout. She bowed slightly to Professor McGonagall, "It should have been two hours ago We'll be there."

Professor McGonagall snorted softly, "Jacqueline Graham, she will teach Potions with Professor Slughorn."

The auditorium was even quieter than when the first two professors were introduced, only a few uninformed first-year students clapped their hands there.

Hermione was completely stunned, Jacqueline is here!She is a little happy that finally, she will not spend this year alone.But, Jacqueline, she, how could she?

Hermione stared blankly at Jacqueline, who had a lot of questions she wanted to ask her.

Jacqueline looked at Hermione, who chuckled and blinked mischievously.

"Well, now, eat." Professor McGonagall said succinctly, and sat down.The plates in front of them were already piled high with food.

Hermione didn't have a chance to talk to Jacqueline, to ask her such a plethora of questions.After dinner, she had to fulfill her responsibilities. Together with the chairman of the male student union, she maintained order in the auditorium and let the students from the four colleges line up to walk out of the auditorium. When she looked at the teacher's seat again, she wanted to find Jie By the time of Guilin, Jacqueline had long since disappeared.

Hermione was a little bit disappointed, she thought that Jacqueline would wait for her to explain to her why Jacqueline appeared here.Hermione looked at the empty teacher's bench, she sighed slightly, and walked towards the Gryffindor common room.Professor McGonagall said that Jacqueline would be teaching Potions with Professor Slughorn, and Hermione walked slowly up the stairs, where the head of the Boys' Council said good night to her on the landing.

But Hermione, lost in her own thoughts, didn't seem to answer him particularly politely.

But which grade will she be teaching?Can she really teach well?Hermione was a little vaguely worried.She knew Jacqueline.Jacqueline is smart, really smart. She can research such a powerful potion by herself, but can she really teach students well?

Hermione bit her lower lip lightly, she walked up to the portrait of the Fat Lady, gave the password and walked in.

However, since Professor McGonagall can let Jacqueline become a professor, it proves that Professor McGonagall believes that Jacqueline has this ability.but if……

The Gryffindor common room was very quiet, and almost all the students went back to their rooms to rest.In the huge lounge, there was only one person lazily leaning on the sofa in front of the fireplace in the lounge. Her eyes were closed, and her long golden hair was scattered on the back of the sofa.

Hermione was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't realize that there were other people in the lounge, so she went straight to her room.She really needs to rest. Tomorrow is a new semester. Even if Jacqueline is not around now, she can become the first grade without any suspense, but she still has to work hard.She had to let others know that Jacqueline did not give her the first place in her grade.

"Hermione." A familiar voice called Hermione, syllable by syllable. Hermione woke up from her own thoughts, and she turned to look at the back of the man on the sofa.

"Jacqueline!" Hermione called softly, she walked over quickly, Jacqueline stood up, and she looked at Hermione with a smile on her face.

"Good evening, Miss Granger. Would you like to congratulate me on being your new professor?"

"Why did you come here?" Hermione strode forward, she hugged Jacqueline tightly, "You didn't tell me about this."

"But I hinted at you." Jacqueline lowered her head, and she kissed Hermione. "As I said, Professor Graham would like it very much if you sneaked into her room."

"You are really..." Hermione smiled and shook her head, she leaned on Jacqueline's shoulder, "But how could Headmaster McGonagall agree? Did you get a certificate for Potions class?"

"Of course." Jacqueline said softly, "If I don't, the ones who put up the question will be ashamed. I am the one who developed the potion for seriously injuring Voldemort and destroying Horcruxes by my own ability." Man, if you can't even get a certificate." Jacqueline chuckled lightly. "That would be great fun."

"Then why are you late?" Hermione raised her head, she looked at Jacqueline curiously, "Where did you go after you sent me away?"

"I thought you didn't ask." Jacqueline laughed nervously. She let go of Hermione and took out a photo from her pocket.On it was a newborn baby.

"Come, meet my godson."

"Merlin!" Hermione whispered, and she took the photo from Jacqueline, "is it Chapman and Tess' child? Merlin, he really looks like Chapman, Chapman and Tess Se must be very happy."

"I've never seen Chap so nervous." Jacqueline said with a smile, "You really should have a look at the scene. Little Claude came out two hours late, and Chap was going to die outside the room. Constantly asking me to reassure him that Tess and the baby will be okay."

"I can understand his mood, Jacqueline." Hermione looked up at Jacqueline. "He's just too worried about his wife and children."

Jacqueline looked at Hermione, she understood what Hermione was talking about.Jacqueline put Hermione in her arms, "Tess and Chap said I would make a good godmother, what do you think?"

"You must be."
