"I just hope it'll work."

"You will! It'd be great! Because Professor McConagall is the headmistress now, they'll be needing a new teacher, and who knows?-You could become the head of the Hufflepuff house or something!"

Kelsi's cheeks glowed. "Yeah! And the papers DID say it needed at least a year for the school to be repaired, so by then they'll have the job interviews in the summer, and I'll have graduated by then, and I'll be the teacher! Oh, this is GREAT!"

Rachel looked concerned. "But Kelsi. Just be really careful. You're so young, and if you think about it, some of those kids will be only a couple years younger then you."

Kelsi stared at Rachel for a few seconds. Then she burst out laughing. And she laughed, and laughed. Soon, she cooled down, and wiped her eyes. "You're thinking I'd hit on them?!"

Rachel stared at the laughing Kelsi, looking completely shocked. After a moment of staring, she spoke up over the laughter. "Oh, I didn't think of THAT! I honestly thought that some of them might bully you because of your age."

Kelsi smiled. "Oh, they won't."

She smiled at her again. "Yeah, because they will see you kidnap one of their classmates in the middle of the night and you'll chain them to the wall of the Great Hall for all to see the next morning."

Kelsi gasped. "Oh, that's a good idea!"

"You wouldn't!"

"Hmm... No. But I have better ideas."

She giggled. "Like what?"

Kelsi laughed, and shook her head. "Transfigure their clothes into something pathetic in front of the class, and other things."

"Oh gosh!" she laughed. "I feel bad for my kids who are going to have to take your class."

Kelsi smiled. "I bet your kids will be wonderful. They'll get good genes from both parents."

"Nah... I bet they'll be weirdos." she laughed, and pat her belly. "It's kind of a pain to be pregnant though. It seems like I'm always hungry."

Kelsi nodded. "I bet it must... I'm so amazed, though. You're pregnant."

"There's nothing amazing about it! Everyone is going to call me a whore... oh especially Serenity!"

"No, they all won't. Serenity won't care, but she might hold it against you for later on. We're all adults now. We shouldn't fight. If she's matured properly, she wouldn't bring it up ever.

She nodded. "You're right... Kelsi, you're pulling a smart one!" she teased.

"... Hey, I am!" Kelsi began to laugh, and sighed. "But, you know. I hope it doesn't hurt you too much."

"It won't! But Kelsi, I just realized something. In addition to being pregnant, I'm going to have to give birth to it! That's disgusting!"

"That's what I meant! I mean.. won't it hurt?!"

"I guess... but maybe they'll have some pain killer or something!" she said hopefully.

Kelsi nodded. "They will! But still... I'm scared for you."
