In which after the war Harry and Draco both become Hogwarts professors. Draco takes Snape's spot as the potions teacher, Harry teaches DADA.
Harry's POV:
"Now, can anyone explain to me how Dementors are brought into this world?"
I looked around my classroom. This period I only had the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw third years, yet neither of them seemed able to answer my question. Well, that wasn't entirely true.
There was one boy, Matthew Hawkins. A Ravenclaw, but he was practically the male Hermione, always knowing the answer when no one else did. I looked around the room one more time to see if any new hands went up. Alas, I was disappointed. "Yes, Matthew?"
He stood up. "Dementors are born when there is so much pain and suffer in the air that it can materialize it's self. That's why Dementors can only be destroyed by the Patronum summoning charm."
"Very good, Matthew. Ten points for Ravenclaw. Now-"
I heard the door open behind me. I didn't even bother turning around. I knew exactly who it was from his rosemary scent.
"Malfoy."
"Pottah."
A few girls in the back of the class snickered. Even though we acted like we didn't know, almost half of Hogwarts have bets riding on our relationship. Some say we're married. Some bet we've been dating since the war. Some say we're just enemies that like to bother each other. We never give them the time of day.
Draco sashayed (yes I mean sashayed. He's so dramatic) over to my desk. I watched him, waiting for him to leave. Draco started rummaging through my desk drawers. He looked up upon realizing that the room had gone silent. "Well, Pottah? Don't stop your very important lesson because of me. I mean, I know I look fantastic today by no need to stare."
The entire class giggled. I shot Draco a look and turned my back to him. "Right then, now- yes, Sasha, do you have a question?"
Sasha Waybright, another strong-headed Ravenclaw stood up. "Professor, is it true that you defeated a Dementor when you were only 13?"
I couldn't even answer before Draco interrupted, that prat.
"Defeated? Pottah here was a whole Quitdditch field away from the Dementors and he still fainted with fear."
"That's absolutely not true." I turned around to face Draco. "Don't you have a class to be watching?"
Draco (and his dramatic arse) placed his hand over his heart and pretended to look hurt. "Is Saint Pottah, the great savior of Hogwarts asking me to leave? Oh the horror! And we've been friends for so long. How could you!"
"You pushed me into the lake this morning and told the giant squid to eat me."
"Well, yes, but I did it out of friendship"
The class was apparently invested in whatever act Draco was putting on.
"Professor Malfoy, were you and Mr. Potter really friends?"
Draco beamed. "Of course we were! Don't you remember all those fun times we had together? Like when Hagrid sent us off to the woods to hang out."
"That wasn't to hang out, that was detention."
Another student stood. "Mr. Malfoy were you being serious when you said Professor Potter fainted? Like, actually fainted?"
Finally, thank Merlin, the dinner bell rang. I rushed everyone out the room and turned to draco, who was sitting at my desk looking smug, feet propped up on the table and all.
"Why do you insist showing up in the middle of my classes?"
Draco's eyes twinkled a bit. "Is it so impossible that maybe I just wanted to see your stupid face."
I smiled a bit and walked over to him. He kissed my lips, and then the hand that I kept my ring on.
"I can't wait to finally marry you."
"I can't wait either, ferret"
"Draco rolled his eyes at the nickname. I just kissed him again.
"I KNEW IT!"
We both jumped and looked at the doorway. Sasha and Matthew were there. "I told you, Hawkins. They were engaged!" Matthew sighed and handed Sasha and handful of coins. She turned and called to some kids in the hallway. "You lot here that? You all owe me fifteen galleons each!"
There was an unanimous groan that swept the hall.
I rolled my eyes. "Alright, alright, big secrets out. Pottah is, in fact, madly in love with me. Now go to dinner." Draco said, waving them all off. Mostly of them looked utterly defeated having owe Sasha so much money. One the other hand, Sasha was beaming. She's was probably ready to tell the whole school about us if it meant getting more money.
Draco closed the door and I raised an eyebrow at him.
"I'm 'madly in love' with you now?"
"Well it's like it's not true. Remember, you're the one that got on your knees for me."
I smirked at him and moved closer. "And I'll do it again tonight."
Draco shoved me away, blushing wildly. "Oh, piss off Harry! You know that not what I meant, you prat!"
I laughed as we left for dinner together.
...
I completely made up Matthew Hawkins but Sasha is from Amphibia.
I wrote this before All In and The Hardest Thing aired and now I'm crying help
