We should be getting a letter any minute now. Either way, I've been doing some research on Salem School of Witchcraft and I hadn't found anything relevant." Hermione was quite upset, she hadn't been able to find anything else on their teacher, just some background information on the other Marie Matthews. She was a student in Hogwarts around the time Harry's parents were there, she was a member of the Order of the Phoenix like Marie had told them, but that was it. All the students records were sealed and she couldn't get to them.
Hermione kept walking holding Ron's hand and smiling at him while Harry was chasing Neville through the alley. They stopped when Neville bumped into Jean and started studdering. He had meant to ask her out since she came back from St. Mungo's but never got the nerves to it. It was pretty obvious she liked him too. She smiled at them and said hi to Neville while walking away. Harry stopped her and took her friend away for a moment, leaving Nev alone with Jean.
After two minutes or so they saw them smiling at each other and heard her "Yes! I'd love to." They started walking towards the Defense Room, only to find a surprise inside.
Remus was bringing a big muggle cake, and Dumbledore, along with Hagrid, Professor Snape, Minerva and Chris Matthews were singing Happy Birthday to Maggie. Harry felt like getting her a present but they couldn't get close from her.
Professor McGonagall asked them to leave and close the door behind them. They were shocked but agreed without making any comments. Harry was obviously upset about not being able to come in.
"Now, dear, this is our birthday present." Remus gave her an envelope from Hogwarts, written down by Minerva. "I'll take the polijuice potion here and there so no one suspects and you can change your eye colour, hair, wear glasses, I don't know."
Maggie was speechless. She just hugged him so tight he could barely breath. She whispered to his ear "I don't know how you convince them, but thanks" and she kissed him in the cheek. Then she hugged Minerva and also thanked her from the bottom of her heart. "I'll prepare the Potion myself and take it when Lupin can't." Maggie felt like insulting Snape and telling him to sod off, but he was doing her a favour. "Thanks Severus."
It was Dumbledore's turn to talk. "Now Magdaline Smith Matthews, you have to be very sure of this. Here are the conditions: you will keep being Marie Matthews and give the afternoon lessons in this classroom and the additional lessons, and when Remus cannot cope, then you'll cover both morning and afternoon classes. We'll make something up for Maggie Smith, there are tons of things that can happen to a student, but very little to a teacher. No one can suspect anything. You'll be sorted into one of the houses and will have to cope with whichever house you get sorted in. You will have to look radically different from how you look now. You will have to change your attitude as a student and still be resposible as a teacher. Do you agree to this terms?"
She did without thinking twice. "Very well then, we'll let the students in and you tell them a new student will be joining us next week and that Remus will be taking over the morning lessons."
One thing bothered her though "What are we gonna do about Hermione? I've been trying to avoid her, but she's bound to figure it out, if she hasn't yet."
A silent filled the room. They all knew Miss Granger's temper and attitude towards a mistery, though they had no idea she had sent a letter to Viktor. Ron didn't know this either, he thought she had sent a letter to his brother.
Minerva spoke "If she mentions anything, do all in your power to shut her up, suspend her if you have to and send her to my office. I'll explain her the situation without revealing much." They walked away.
***
As the 6th and 7th years walked into the classroom, Chris came out, bumping into Ginny Weasley. He smiled at her and kissed her softly in her cheek, almost in her mouth. She looked over the shoulder and saw Hermione and Harry looking at it with surprise.
She decided to take it further and kissed Chris fully on the lips causing a huge silence in that classroom doorway. Thankfully, no other teacher but Maggie was around, though she wasn't pleased.
Chris took off saying hi to the guys and looking at Harry with dismay. He stopped him. "What are you doing mate? You want to get suspended? You can't go around kissing girls in the doorway!" Harry sounded jealous but he wasn't, he was just worried about Ginny, and what she was becoming.
Chris told him that he was just jealous and warned him to get away from his sister or else he'd regret it and took off. Hermione told him to come in and gave Ginny a reproving look. When the red haired came in she could feel the piercing look of Maggie going through her skull.
"Miss Weasley, you and Mr. Matthews are getting detention. You know the school rules." Ginny meant to argue it but Maggie wouldn't let her. She came really close to her and almost whispering she said "If you are using him to make Potter jealous you'll regret it, understood?" Ginny's hatred towards her increased by the minute.
Maggie came back to the desk and told the 6th years to sit on the back of the classroom and paid no attention to them. She told the 7th years to pick a piece of cake if they wanted, since there was plenty for everyone. It didn't seem to end, the pieces would multiply themselves.
Hermione sat down and for a moment forgot about Ginny. She asked Professor Matthews a simple question: "So, how old are you now?" Maggie was perplexed. "Older than you Hermione, older than you. 22 if you must know."
She tried but couldn't stop looking at Ginny with despise. She had been dating her brother for the last month, but she knew in her heart Ginny didn't love him. She was using Chris to make Harry jealous, and it wasn't working.
Maggie started explaining why Remus was back at Hogwarts: there was much work with all these new schedule and she'd be coming back and forth from the Ministry figuring out who attacked the school during the Auror Testings. Besides, there were too many teaching hours due to the new plan and just one teacher wasn't enough.
Draco told her then that Professor Snape could take over the lessons and he mentioned again that Lupin was a werewolf. "I know that Malfoy, but thanks for the reminder yet again. As I said before, we are aware of that. I know what Remus is capable of, probably more than you, and I know in my heart he will never hurt any of you. Anything else?" The class remained silent.
"Okay well, there's something else before we start with the class. Or nope, let's do this first. I want you 7th years to team up with one of the 6th years that are NOT from your House, allright? You will teach that person something you've learnt in our classes and then both of you we'll write a report. We'll compare them and that will be your first mid term. You have until next monday. 20 pages."
They started pairing up, and when Ginny sat next to Draco, Maggie snapped. "Find other teammate Weasley" Ron thought she was talking to him. "Not you Ron, your sister. Come on, gettup." They all wondered why and Ginny was reluctant to follow her instructions. The red hair got up defiantly and asked why, after all Draco was a Slytherin and she was a Gryffindor.
Maggie turned all red with anger and the room started feeling cooler than usual. It was snowing outside. "Well, let's see, I could give you millions of reasons, like, let's see, you were possesed by the Heir of Slytherin once, so, a part of you was Slytherin like, but well, I don't have to give you any explanations on my decision, cos, that's a perk of being your teacher!" She had an evil smile on her face. "Unless you want more detention for not following my orders." Ginny kept insisting and Maggie finally told her something more understandable "I happen to care about Draco and I don't want YOU corrupting him like you've done with my BROTHER! NOW DO AS I SAY BARBIE!"
The room went silent. A teacher had not only abused her power but insulted a student. Ginny was paralized and Draco decided to get up and talk. He asked Professor Matthews for a word in her office and she agreed, leaving Neville in charge of the class.
Neville asked Ginny to find another partner and smiled at her giving her confidence, though he didn't approve her behaviour towards Chris Matthews. Then he came back to his place and paired up with Jean's kid sister Louise.
The Gryffindor friends were in shocked and didn't know what to say or think. Maggie had taken it too far but at a point it was understandable. Neville defended Maggie's position as usual and Harry wasn't sure what to think. Ron was completaly mad at her, until Hermione spoke. "Look Ronald, she snapped. How would you feel if Ginny was used by someone else to make some other girl jealous?"
Hermione placing herself in Maggie's shoes was more shocking than the whole scene they had just seen. Ron got very mad at his girlfriend, as he used to all the time lately. He sat down quietly and started talking to a 6th year girl from Hupplepuff.
They sat down as Maggie came out of the office with Draco, smiling.
"Allright guys, there's one more thing I'm supposed to tell you before you start with your mini lesson" they all stood silent and she kept staring at Ginny with hatred. "Allright, Hogwarts will have a new student next week." She breathed in slowly. "Her case is quite unusual and basically she's a 7th year that will be joining one of your houses. She's never been in a magical school in her life, so it's all very new to her, allright? Be patient with her." Draco asked her how come she'd manage to get into the school if she's never been to one.
"Well, she's been having magical tutors all her life, I was one of them actually. She's one of the smartest witches of her generation according to Dumbledore, no offense Miss Granger. Anyway, she'll probably get to Gryffindor or Slytherin due to her family line so..." she looked at Hermione and Draco "Please behave."
Draco smiled and nodded approvingly and so did Hermione, who asked her one last thing. "What's her name?" Maggie smiled "Magdaline Smith, rings a bell?" The guys knew there were on the right track, and that Marie didn't want to keep the secret from them.
Hermione smiled her l-know-it-all smile and started writing down in a quill. Harry wondered who this new girl really was...
Maggie started giving some lines for the lessons but she was interrupted by a noise in the window. She waved her eyebrow and the window opened, letting a lot of snow in, feeling up Ginny Weasley with snowflakes and letting an owl in.
Hermione recognized the own right away, it was Krum's... the timing couldn't be worse. She got even more frightened when the owl dropped something on Maggie's desk.
Maggie's face lightened when she saw the envelope. "Oh, a birthday card from Viktor and Charlie! How sweet!" Hermione a cold shiver and Harry felt sick. Maggie's face changed and looked straight into Hermione's eyes.
The room went colder than it was. "Well well well" Maggie got up, having two pieces of parchment in her hand. "So, I swear I really tried to like you Hermione. I tried to overlook your dismay towards my lessons, your know-it-all attitude that got in my nerves. You are a Gryffindor, I'm the co-head of Gryffindor, I had this stupid thought of us maybe liking each other. But no. You little brat."
Harry and Ron knew Hermione had never been in trouble like now. "What did you expect me to do? Sit here and do nothing? You ARE hiding something and I will-"
"You will SHUT UP, I'm not done." She waved her hand and Hermione's voice went away. Maggie started reading Hermione's letter outoud "Dear Viktor" So, you wrote to your ex, makes sense" she coughed. " -" It's been two months since my last letter and I needed to talk to you" - how touching Miss Granger." She knew perfectly well Ron would get upset about it and say something. "You wrote to Krum?"
"Oh, Mr. Weasley, I should've known. Did you know anything about this Harry? Neville? Any OTHER noisy Gryffindor?" She was irate. "Allright, I won't keep reading this sweet letter, is confiscated from now on. Well, That's it."
She shut up and went to her desk. She turned around and crossed her arms. "You really thought that Viktor wouldn't tell Charlie about this? Do you really think that if I have something to hide and Charlie knows about it he's gonna tell you? Charlie Weasley is my friend, is one of the oldest friends I have. If you want to know anything about me Hermione, you ask ME, understood? You don't go around sending letters to your ex or anyone else, you ask me or Professor McGonagall or even Dumbledore." She went silent again. She was upset about the whole situation but she also knew (as well as the teachers) that it wouldn't take long for her to find out the truth.
"If I have something to hide, you really think I'll be able to cheat Dumbledore? I'm here because he asked me to, and that's all you need to know. You are suspended for the next week." She waved her hand at her and sat on the desk. "WHAT? Me? Suspended?"
"Oh, you have a hearing problem? You... Are... Suspended... For a Week. You should've thought about it before sending this letter. Don't piss me off more or it will be two weeks. And you Weasley, you'll get Detention for the Next Month." Hermione started soaking.
"Please, don't make a scene here Granger, I'm trying to give a class. You've drawn this upon yourself. Now, go to Professor McGonagall's Office and beg for her mercy or whatever."
She run away crying.
Maggie felt bad, but she had to do it. She had to put an end to this and also this would help Harry to see her differently. "Anyone has any questions about me? I'm free to answer. None? Allright, class dismissed." Draco argued about not having classes.
"Now you want to have a lesson Draco? Gimme a break dude, its my birthday, I've just ruined Hermione Granger's perfect School Report. Go away, don't you have girls to chase, Gryffindors to bully, anything?" Draco laughed at this usual comment. Professor Matthews wasn't that bad after all.
Most of the students went away, except for Neville, Harry and Ron.
"I know, I was too hard, but she went over the line guys, honestly." Harry decided to speak "Professor Matthews, could you not suspend her? We all knew about that letter, you should suspend us all."
Maggie would have loved being Hermione then, having all her friends standing up for her. "Harry, nice try. If you want to take the blame not to ruin her perfect report, do it, but she wrote to Krum. You want detention? Fine, you'll all get detention. Now, go go go."
Harry was puzzled, didn't know what to think about her. What Hermione did was excessive, not to mention idiotic, considering she wrote to her ex, but what Marie had just done was cruel. He walked away along with the rest of the students. Neville talked to her about Auror training (he was too, giving her a reproving look) and Ron stood silent. "I'm not gonna suspend her for real. I just wanted to make a point. I AM her teacher and she HAS to respect me Nev, don't give me that look please." Neville understood and started walking away, but stopped when he saw Ron standing still.
"Professor Matthews, could I have that letter please? The one she wrote to Krum." Maggie asked Neville to go.
Hermione kept walking holding Ron's hand and smiling at him while Harry was chasing Neville through the alley. They stopped when Neville bumped into Jean and started studdering. He had meant to ask her out since she came back from St. Mungo's but never got the nerves to it. It was pretty obvious she liked him too. She smiled at them and said hi to Neville while walking away.

When they were alone, she started talking to him "Ron, Hermione loves you. She's a stubborn little brat but she does love you. If she wrote to Krum it was to figure out who I really am. She should have asked though." Ron kept asking for the letter and she kept refusing.
"You don't understand Miss, she lied to me, she told me she was no longer writing to Viktor." Maggie coughed a bit. "Well Ron, you've lied to her too. I've seen the way you look at Parvati and I recall seeing you last thursday outside with her."
Ron stared at her, he didn't know what to do or say. "I'm not gonna say anything. I mean, you shouldn't sneak out like that at night, the school is under constant attacks Ron. And you shouldn't cheat either. Specially not to Hermione, she's a nice girl."
At last, she gave him the letter. As he was walking away, she regreted saying who was the letter directed to.
"Happy Birthday Mags" she picked up a piece of cake and saluted her own reflection in the window. She was gonna be one lonely student...
