Chapter 63

Eleven years later

I let out a sigh as I ran my fingers thru my hair. Teddy was talking with Harry and his sons, while I helped Ginny cook.

"So have you thought about having any kids yourself?" Ginny asked as I turned to look at her.

"Me? Oh no. I'm to busy these days. Don't really have time to start a family. Not to mention I'm to old." I said with a laugh.

Ginny placed her hand on her hip and sent me a look. I let out a sigh and set the knife down.

"Ginny, I don't think there is anyone else out there for me. Fred was... my best friend. I don't think anyone could replace him." I said sadly.

"No one is ever going to replace him, but maybe someone can help fill that hole back up. Maybe a certain Herbology professor? Or perhaps a certain brother of mine, you know the one that gave up the ministry for you?" She asked with a smile.

"Are you talking about Percy?"

"Yes I'm talking about Percy, everyone knows he loves you."

I let out a laugh and shook my head.

"There is no possible way that Percy loves me. And even if he did, I need to focus on me and Teddy, you know my godson." I said with a laugh.

"Of course... though heads up, Harry invited Neville over." She said with a wink.

"What!"

Ginny rushed out of the room and I let out a groan. I shook my head and finished dinner, by the time is was finished there was a knock on the door.

"Wonder who that could be?" Harry asked standing up.

"I'll kill you." I mouthed as Albus walked over to me.

I placed my hand on Albus' shoulder and smiled down at him, right as the door opened to reveal Neville.

"Sorry I'm late." He said as Harry took the bowl from him.

With him was non other than Hannah Abbott, which wasn't surprising.

"Hannah, I didn't know you were coming." Ginny said in surprise.

"Of course she came, Ginny didn't you know that she and Neville are dating?" I asked with a smirk.

Ginny's eyes went wide and Neville and I both let out a laugh.

"Was she trying to set us up?" Neville asked walking up to me.

"Of course she was." I said as I hugged him.

We pulled apart and both let out a laugh as everyone stared at Hannah in shock.

"Guys, Neville told you all he was dating her already. Don't you listen?"

"Not really." Ron mumbled, causing me to laugh.

We all set down and Albus set beside me, picking at his food. I had always had a strong connection to Harry's younger son. He reminded me of myself at times.

"Hey have you happen to hear from Draco any?" Neville asked with a frown.

"Not since the battle. After it ended he left with his parents. I heard he was married." I said with a frown.

"Had a son I think four years ago." Hermione said with a frown.

"That's wonderful. I'm glad he finally moved on from me. I might go and see him sometime. It be good to catch up with him."

"MoMo why don't you catch up with him?" Albus asked looking up at me.

"MoMo?" Neville asked with a smile.

"George got him calling me that. Tried my hardest to get him to stop, but I'm MoMo now. And to answer your question, I don't even know where to begin with talking to him." I said with a laugh.

"Okay moving on, how about you write to Draco and see if he wants to catch up? I know he must miss you. You guys were best friends!" Ginny said with a smirk.

"Ginny, I am fine and happy with just Teddy." I said shaking my head.

We finished up and then I felt Neville's eyes on me.

"What?" I asked sending him a look.

"I didn't just come here to catch up. As you know, McGonagall-"

"Oh no, no and no. I already told her that I am perfectly happy never stepping foot in that school again." I said with a laugh.

"What?" Harry asked looking between us.

"Slughorn is leaving Hogwarts and McGonagall wishes for me to take over his position, which I already turned down." I explained shaking my head.

"Why?" Harry asked in shock.

"I don't know-"

"No, why are you turning it down? You're bloody brilliant, if anything you are the best person to teach." Harry said with a frown.

"I have Teddy-"

"Who is starting school soon. Come on, you know as well as I, you have no reason to not teach. You'd be amazing at it." Neville said cutting me off quickly.

"Neville-"

"You always wanted to be a teacher and now you have the chance. Besides Slytherin, could use a good role model." Harry replied with a small smile.

"I'll think about it." I said with a chuckle.

"Thank you."

"You should do it, you would be a great teacher. And you'd get to be there for me." Teddy said with a smile.

"Okay! I will think about it and maybe, I will accept the position."

James and Teddy let out a victory screech as I shook my head and laughed at them.
