Hot for Teacher (A Harry Potter Fanfiction--Dramione)

Nefarious Parenting Practices

Hermione Granger sighed heavily as she addressed the stack of third year essays on her desk waiting to be graded. Today had been a test on her patience.

After spending over ten years in the Auror Department, Hermione had wanted a new challenge. Last year, she accepted the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, excited to see what new adventures lay ahead.

She did not imagine those adventures would have included being the recipient of indecent proposals from horny little brats and then having to confront their idiotic, potentially sociopathic fathers in a parent/teacher conference.

Make no mistake, Scorpius Malfoy was a great kid. She was pleasantly surprised to find that he was absolutely nothing like his arsehole of a father. He was polite, attentive, engaged in the material. Although looking back she wondered if Scorpius actually did have a hunger for knowledge, or if his supposed interest in her class had anything to do with the embarrassing crush he apparently had on her. Either way, he was a nice boy and she wouldn't let this incident color her opinion of him moving forward. No matter if his father happens to be an infuriating prat.

Malfoy. There's one who hadn't changed a bit. He was still the same arrogant, smug, sneering little Ferret he had always been.

Well...I mean maybe he changed a bit. He had grown even taller over the years, and his form had matured from the lean, wiry frame he had as a Seeker in school to the more masculine, muscular build of a grown man. His stupid, smirking face sprouted a bit of stubble. And he wore his hair in a different way. It was more casual now, and it made him somehow look more...rugged.

She sighed. Fuck a duck he looked good, which infuriated her all the more. How dare he walk into that meeting all sexy and single-dad-like and make light of the fact that his son drew that disgusting picture of her? Granted, he had apologized for the whole thing. And he said he would talk to Scorpius. But still! To him, this was probably some huge joke. No doubt he thought it was hilarious that his son would objectify her like that. She could just punch him (again) in his smirking, stupid, sexy...stupid face!

"Professor Granger?" a small male voice broke her from her violent fantasy.

"Mr. Malfoy! I didn't see you there. How may I help you?"

"I just wanted to apologize for the note. My dad explained to me how inappropriate it was and I'm humiliated that I did it. You were always just so nice to me and I thought...never mind. Please accept my apology."

"Of course, Mr. Malfoy. Consider it forgotten."

"Thank you Professor. Although...you should know...I still do think that you're the most beautiful woman I've ever met. I don't care what my dad says."

"That's kind of you Mr. Malfoy but I assure you...wait. What did your father say exactly?"

"Only that he knew you in school. He said you didn't look then the way you do now and that I probably only thought I was in love with you because you were my teacher. And that you were...bossy, knew too many things, and that you were 'absolutely off limits' I believe were his words."

"Uh huh. Well, thank you very much for your apology Mr. Malfoy. I will see you in class tomorrow."

Scorpius nodded and left the room.

So the Ferret thought she was bossy did he? That she was unworthy of being the object of affection?

That little shit.

Of course she had no wish for her students to lust after her. That was gross. And weird. But for him to say that she was 'absolutely off limits'...she wondered if it was because she was a teacher, which was correct, or if it was because of her blood status, which was disappointing.
