Harry tried to calm himself down. he didn't like to talk to people after the war and now he's a teacher. He was about to cancel his job when his first class walked in., he knew most of them. It was a Slytherin and Gryffindor group. It was heartbreaking for Ginny when Harry told her they couldn't date anymore, because harry would be her teacher. Harry started to look at the list and stopped by the name; Draco Malfoy. he looked at the class and indeed there in the back on the left side. Draco Malfoy was sitting. With his book on the table his parchment and quill ready to write things down. "w-welcome class." Harry tried to speak. Damn why was it this difficult to speak. "I will be your defense against the dark arts teacher this year." Harry his voice was shaky. "You are allowed to call me Harry, I don't like the name professor Potter and you may now open your books on the first page." Harry said. His voice becoming shakier with the moment. "Can anyone read what is on the page?" Harry asked. "we've learned about Animagus in third year." Draco his voice from the back sounded. Harry looked at the boy. "Indeed. Animagus. We learn about it again because since what happened on May the second of 1998, we have to be more careful." Harry said, not wanting to speak out the word 'war'. Draco nodded. "So, what is an Animagus?" Harry asked. Ginny her hand shot in the air. "Yes?" Harry asked. "An Animagus is a wizard who can transform into an animal. The magic required is quite complex, and it can go badly if the wizard is not experienced enough to handle the transformation." Ginny answered. "Good." Harry said.

Draco decided to stay after the lesson. "don't you have other classes?" Harry asked. "I don't do that much classes." Draco answered calmly. Harry nodded. "Are you okay?" Draco asked. "Can you see there is something wrong with me?" Harry asked. "You sound like professor Quirrell. It's not something good. You stutter, you didn't do that before." Draco said. "I just don't like talking to people anymore." Harry answered. Draco nodded and showed he understand. "I was shocked when I saw your name on the list." Harry said. "I have to, otherwise I won't be able to make potions or casts spells." Draco answered. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear." Harry said. "it's fine, since you are one of the teachers it will be much more fun. We're the same age, I think we can understand each other." Draco said. Harry looked at Draco. "What do you mean?" Harry asked. "Never mind." Draco picked up his bag and wanted to leave. "No wait. Stay here." Harry said his voice shaking again. "You don't have to be afraid of me." Draco said and put his bag back down. "I enjoy talking to you actually. We've known each other since we got our hogwarts uniforms. You're the one of the first wizards I actually met." Harry said. Draco smiled at him. "So why don't you like talking to people?" Draco asked. "Especially wizards. Every wizard and witch knows my name. I'm not just Harry, I'm the great Harry Potter. I actually moved to a muggle village. A small one. everyone knows each other there and I'm good friends with my neighbors. It's just no one sees my real me, that's the reason why I don't like talking. I'm just scared that if I say something wrong it can be used against me. Like I broke up with Ginny because I'm her teacher." Harry said. "And everyone thinks you don't like her anymore." Draco finished Harry. he nodded. "I didn't believe that at all. I was thinking that you came out or something." Draco chuckled. "Is it that visible?" Harry asked. "What? You are?" Draco asked. Harry nodded a bit. "it's not visible. It was just something crazy I thought when I read the prophet." Draco answered. Harry nodded. "I think I have to go. Your next class will be arriving soon." Draco said. "How many classes do you take?" Harry asked. "Three the minister told me I had to take 3 I choose defense against the dark arts potions and care for magical creatures. That is all on the same day. The rest of the week. I work at a library in a muggle village." Draco said. Harry smiled. "See you next week." Draco said and left the classroom. Harry smiled. For the first in months he could talk normal to wizard.

Draco sat in the library and was reading something. When someone entered. It was quite a hot muggle. "Good morning." Draco muttered looking up from his book. "Do you work here?" the guy asked. "Yes. Can I help you?" Draco asked. "Actually yes. Do you know where I can find this book?" the boy asked he showed some strange muggle device with a picture on it. it was tangled. "Sure, follow me." Draco said walking with the boy towards one of the shelfs. "you're a bit young to work in a library." The boy said. "I'm nineteen and I enjoy it." Draco answered and handed him the book. "Is this for you?" Draco asked. "My younger brother." He answered. Draco smiled. "I'm nineteen too." The boy said. "I'm Draco." Draco said. "I'm Evan." He said. Draco smiled. 'You have a tattoo?" the boy asked. Draco looked at his left arm and saw that his shirt was a bit lifted up. "Yes." Draco said putting his shirt back down. "I have one too." Evan said pulling his sleeve up showing a name in Chinese. "who's name is this?" Draco asked. "My younger brother, Bryan." Evan said. Draco smiled. "And yours?" he asked. "I'm going to remove mine." Draco said going back to his chair. "Why?" the boy asked. "Because, I don't like him. it isn't what I am." Draco said. "Show me." Evan said. Draco sighed and lifted his sleeve up. "it's not what fits you." Evan said. Draco nodded. "Thanks for the help." Evan said and left the library. Draco smiled. The first person who didn't judge him on his dark mark. Draco felt really happy. When he was done at the library, he went back to hogwarts. "Hello Draco." Draco heard Harry voice behind him. Draco smiled and turned around. "Hello." Draco said. "How was work?" Harry asked. "It was fantastic." Draco said. "Looks like you had the best day of your life." Harry chuckled. "a muggle entered his name is Evan and I helped him find a book and he accidently saw my mark and he showed his tattoo, and he didn't judge because of my mark." Draco said. Harry smiled. "Looks like someone is in love." Harry teased. "I'm maybe crushing on him." Draco said; Harry chuckled. "See you tomorrow." Harry said. "Where are you going?" Draco asked. "Home." Harry said. "Okay." Draco said and waved at harry.
