Ok, this is like, the shortest chapter of all time of mine... but just cause it's short it
doesn't mean I'm gonna post chapter 14! To many chapters within 2 days if I did...
I was having a creative writing block at the time of writing this, so this is THE shortest chapter ever... might not even need it really...
No wait, I do... considering a chapter a fair ways after this one kinda mentions what this is about.
So yeah, here'ye go!
Uh... i was gonna say something and I... oh ya! THIS CHAPTER IS THE HALFWAY MARK TO THE END OF THIS F.F SEQUEL BTW!
Chapter 13
Tea Time
“So, what are you going to do about the offer of Potions teacher?” Ginny asked Hermione casually over their tea time a few weeks after the announcement of Hermione’s engagement.
“I... really don’t know, Gin,” Hermione responded honestly. With everything happening lately, she had no idea what to do anymore. For a long time now, she’d wanted to get a legitimate job, like working at the Ministry in one of the departments if she had to, but she really wanted to be a teacher at Hogwarts, or one of the other schools if she had the choice.
“Well you’re going to have to decide soon, it’s already early August, and school starts up in two weeks...”
“I know!” Hermione exclaimed in frustration. Ginny looked surprised and taken aback for a moment, but then dropped the subject and expression a moment later.
“So have you decided to start making any wedding plans?” Ginny asked in a similar casual tone.
“No place or anything yet if that’s what you mean,” Hermione responded in a blunt way. “Just been thinking of bridesmaids and who would be the maid of honour...”
Ginny tried to look indifferent, but Hermione knew she was hopeful.
“So who do you have so far?” Ginny asked as she took a sip of tea.
“So far... I was thinking of owling Parvati and Lavender...”
“Aren’t you supposed to have 3 bridesmaids, traditionally?” Ginny pointed out. The hint was so obvious, Hermione resisted the urge to burst out laughing.
“Well one of them has to be Maid of Honour, but if you don’t want to be...”
“No!” Ginny squeaked. “I’d be an honour!”
Hermione smiled as she finished her tea.
“So I was beginning to think about dresses for bridesmaid and our maid of honour...”
