Prologue:
The day of the Wedding of the Century
By Hermione Annie Potter
I now pronounce you Husband and wife, you may kiss the bride announced Dumbledore as Harry Kissed Hermione in a very passionate way. I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Harry Potter. With those that had assembled to witness their wedding cheered. Some of them where crying because of the great happiness they had for the young couple. As Harry and Hermione where walking down the aisle to leave, you could see that they both had tears rolling down their checks. As they got to the end of the aisle they turned around to take a last look of Hogwarts and also of all the people that had come to witness their wedding. With a wave goodbye they both appreated back to the weasly's front lawn.
Once there they hurried through the front door and up the stairs they went towards Percy's old home. Where they locked the door behind them and Harry and Hermione decided it was time to give each other their wedding presents. Hermione went first and gave Harry a picture of them and Ron on their graduation day a few weeks ago. Also she gave him a very rare book on Prophesies. Harry gave Hermione a special necklace that matched a ring on his hand. That would let the other one know when the other one was in danger. Just then they heard a rap on the window and when they looked over they saw that Fawkes was sitting on a branch of a tree outside of the window. Hermione went over to the window and let Fawkes in. Fawkes landed on the table next to Harry as Harry untied the piece of Parchment from his leg. As soon as the piece of parchment was untied from his leg, Fawkes bowed low as to say goodbye and flew out the window back to Hogwarts.
Who is the letter from asked Hermione as she closed the window? It's from Hogwarts and I wonder what they wanted Harry said as he opened the letter and he begun to read it out loud to Hermione.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter,
As you may know Professor Lupin has retired this year from teaching here at Hogwarts. This leaves his position empty. We know that you just got married and that you are getting ready to go on your Honeymoon as you read this letter. But, we wanted to extend the position of teaching the Defense against the Dark Arts class here at Hogwarts to both of you. Which means that both of you would be in charge of teaching. We hope that you will both consider out offer and send your answer no later then Aug 15.
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts

Staff of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizarding
Well what do you think Hermione; do you think we should accept it?
I do not know if we should but I have always wanted to teach there. But, I am not sure about teaching students that are younger than we are and that the ones that we went to school with and also that we know so well from our days there.
I think that most students at Hogwarts respect us and would love the change to be taught by some of the best students that have come out of Hogwarts even though we graduated a few days ago. Let's take the job and help the students there pass their Owl's and their NEWTS.
Ok, let's take it. We can tell Dumbledore at dinner tonight. Which we should head down to since it should be starting anytime now Hermione said as she opened the door to head downstairs.
Harry joined Hermione as she was starting down the stairs and as they got closer the kitchen they begun to hear the voices of the friends and family that they had invited over to dinner that night before they left for their Honeymoon.
When Harry and Hermione entered the room everyone got up and congratulated them on their marriage and then each one took a seat at the table. Mrs. Weasly and Mrs. Granger had fixed a very delicious dinner for their guests. Once everyone had arrived and congratulated Harry and Hermione dinner was served.
Once dinner was served and everyone had his or her fill, Dumbledore got up out of his seat and raised his hand in the air to single sinianlce.
I would like to make a toast to Harry and Hermione. Harry I have know you since you where just a little child even though once your parent s where killed and you where taken to the Durley's. Though we never met again until you where 11 yrs old and started to attend Hogwarts. Since that time, you have had many adventures and have grown to become an honorable and loving person. You have many of the traits that Godric Gryffindor himself had, I hope that as you continue through you life Harry. That you continue to improve those traits of love, compassion, understanding, etc. You are very lucky in finding a wife such as Hermione.
Hermione though I have not know you as long as Harry, I would not trade the time I have know you for anything. When you first came to Hogwarts you seemed to be a know it all, but then you meet Harry and Ron. I believe at first they both thought that you where a bit stuck up, but that all changed during Halloween your first year. When Harry and Ron came to your rescue even though they had hurt your feelings. They saved you that night from the mountain troll, but I think that you have saved Ron and Harry many times over. By helping them with their homework, helping them keep their sprits up when they where down. You where a true friend to them as I am sure that they are to you. Hermione you are a very detriment person and very perceive when you need to be. That is why I knew one day that you would become one of the brightest students I have ever seen at Hogwarts. It's been great to see you Harry and Hermione to grow together as you have been going to Hogwarts.
I would like to wish you all the sceuss in the world and Harry and Hermione make each other happy. For you are both just started a journey of sorts called Marriage. It has many hills and even some mountains but if you stay together and work to help each other you will come though on top.
Best wishes, to you both and with that Dumbledore sat back down in his chair. When he had sat down you could here sounds of cheers and also of glasses hitting each other.
Soon Harry got up out of his chair and asked for everyone to quiet down. For Hermione and I have an anncoment to make before you all leave. But first we would like to thank Professor Dumbledore for his kind and very thoughtful words.
After the Wedding Ceremony Hermione and I had come back here to the Weasly's home to exchange gifts and to get ready for our honeymoon. When we had a surprise visitor. We looked towards the window to see who had made the sound and we saw that Fawkes was sitting on the tree branch outside our window with a letter tied to his leg. So Hermione went and opened the window to let Fawkes in. He flew in and landed on the table next to me and after I untied the letter from his leg. He bowed very low and then he flew out the window. So we opened the piece of Parchment and read the letter. We would like to annocue that we have accepted the offer to teach Defense against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts.
There where cheers and also as each guest left they gave Hermione and Harry their Wedding presents. Soon everyone had left expect for Professor Dumbledore and as he was leaving he gave them the wedding present from him and also he gave Harry a piece of Parchment address to both of them and then he left to go back to Hogwarts.
After Harry and Hermione had said goodnight to the to the weasly family they headed back to their room. Once there Harry locked the door and Hermione asked. What was the piece of parchment that Dumbledore gave you?
I don't know what it is but I bet it has to do with our new duties at Hogwarts replied Harry as he broke the seal on the piece of parchment. It read
Harry and Hermione I presume that you have a few questions concerning you new post at Hogwarts and I hope that this letter will answer those questions. First off, you will need to select a book off the list included for this year's class. As soon as you decide, please send back your answer by owl as soon as possible. Secondly, I would like at least the first week of lesson plans by Aug 20 and the last thing is that if you wish you may come with the students on the Hogwarts Express. If you have any other questions, you may send them by owl or you can floo over to my office.
Best Whishes,
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
