Oh look! Another photo of Tom Felton! Oh and by the way sorry about how late this update is, I've had to deal with a lot of stuff and pretty much my parents found out I was suicidal... That's always fun 😅😅 Enjoy xx by the way I don't know who teaches what after the war so I'm just going with my instinct.

"Goodbye Ginny, Bye Albus" I said to my family, I kissed my family both on the heads before waving goodbye and got onto the Hogwarts train. I smiled as I saw the familiar surroundings, I remember sitting here for 6 years with Ron and Hermione, the train was empty as the students hadn't arrived yet and wouldn't be for another half hour. Looking up I saw a familiar face, one i hadn't seen in years; Neville.

"Neville! It's been so long!" I greeted him and shook his hand, let's just say that Neville cleaned up alot since I'd last seen him, he was more... Put together and quite frankly he was much better looking, he looked happier. Neville smiled at me and shook my hand back. "Are you a professor?"

"Hey Harry, I'm teaching Herbology. I'm guessing defense against the dark arts? You were always spectacular at it" He guessed and I nodded. We sat down at the train and talked for a bit while we were going to our destination, it was like old times all we needed was Luna, Hermione and Ron.

"A few teachers to look out for, Professor Harfwood, she's really cranky, the divination professor. The transfiguration teacher can be a bit... Creepy, Professor Lockston, avoid him for sure. The rest of the teacher are fine, Hagrid is still teaching magical creatures and Professor Malfoy is teaching potions" he told me.

"Malfoy? Draco Malfoy?" I ask with curiosity, I sure hoped not, although we sorted things out everything was still a bit awkward, I guess all those years of bullying and tormenting each other really has an impact on the way you act towards each other especially with the rivalry we had. The last time I saw Malfoy was at the end of the second war, a tragic time we do not speak of.

"Yeah, don't worry though he's changed since you've last seen him, still an annoying git that's for sure but he's tolerable at least" Neville told me and I bit my lip and nodded, still a bit wary. I don't think I could ever tolerate malfoy, even now many years later. As the train ride commenced I saw the familiar castle, I smile; Hogwarts had that affect on me.

---------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------

"Ah, Harry Potter, Neville Longbottom, come on, time to meet the rest of the staff" Professor Mcgonagall told us and showed us inside. We arrived in the Great hall and I could already see a bunch of familiar faces. "This is Harry Potter, our new defensr against the dark arts professor."

"Arry Potter!" Hagrid came walking up to me with a massive grin on his face, I shook his hand then he pulled me into a hug. "Long time no see 'Arry, ah I've missed ya, 'Asnt been the same without ya"

"Its nice to see you too hagrid, ive heard you're still the Magical Creatures professor" I told him and he nodded and started rambling on about different sorts if creatures. I felt a pair of eyes on me so I look up and saw Draco Malfoy, he was eyeing me up and down. He looked wonderful, his pale blonde hair was no longer gelled back but it was natural, his eyes looked so much more blue and he wore a smile instead of a sneer.

Draco Malfoy was hot.

Then he made his way over, eyes still not leaving mine, I suddenly felt nervous. I wonder if he'd be nice or if he'd just start teasing me again. He stopped to the side of hagrid who'd just run up to say hello to Neville, Malfoy stood in front of me. We were both speechless, we didn't know what to say, still taking in how much we've both changed.

"Uh... Hello Malfoy" I greeted him and he looked into my eyes, it was awkward, the tension in the air seemed unbreakable. "Hello Potter, how've you been?" he asked and I was shocked, he has never asked me that before.

"Alright I guess, not much to do lately as I just quit being an Auror. How are you?" I answered hoping I didn't sound like I was showing off, he kind of just nodded, he was about to reply when a professor I hadn't seen before walked up to me and shook my hand.

"Harry Potter! Nice to meet you, I'm professor Lockston" he told me and I shook his hand and greeted him back I looked beside me to see that Malfoy had infact left and went to talk to some other teacher. "Professor Potter, isn't it a wonderful thing! I've got your autobiography and I made my daughter paint a life size painting of you!"

"Time to get seated now, the students will be arriving very shortly" Professor McGonagall told us and I made a mental note to thank her for getting me out of the conversation. I saw seated next to somebody I didn't know and Malfoy, I was looking over the four tables I sat at not to long ago when I heard a bunch of students coming in; first years.

Next came in the second years, then the third, then the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh. "You see the two boys with brown hair, Ravenclaw table, next to the ginger? Troublemakers, better keep an eye on them" Malfoy whispered to me and I nodded.

"Welcome all first years to Hogwarts! And to others welcome back! We have a few announcements to make. First of all we have a new defense against the dark arts teacher, Professor Potter" I gave a nod and everybody clapped, a few girls giggled from all tables mostly from Hufflepuff though. "Now for some bad news, a dragon escaped and made its way over here so the Quidditch Pitch is broken, it might take some months to repair. Now onto the choosing ceremony!"

Students went up one by one and sat on the chair with the hat on their heads, memories flooded into my mind of when I sat on that chair being sorted into Gryffindor. Every time someone got sorted everybody clapped, after everyone was chosen Professor Mcgonagall told everybody that the feast had started. I looked over at the hufflepuff table where a blonde haired girl and a black haired girl giggled.

"They're in fifth year, Lora and Genova. Giggly pair, hufflepuffs if you couldnt tell, they flirted with me a little while back so just ignore them" Malory told me and I looked up into his eyes again. It was all so familiar, being around him, except now he wasn't so cold and cruel.

"Yeah, I guess. What subject are you teaching? You've always been good at potions so I'm guessing that but who knows, you could've been good at a class I wasn't in" I rambled on a bit and he chuckled.

"Potions, got any classes tomorrow Potter? I've got third years third period, that's gotta be fun. I've also got seventh years fifth, they've matured alot so I don't have to deal with their nonsense" Malfoy told me and I took out my timetable from my pocket.

"Second years first, third years fourth and fourth years fourth and fifth period" I told him and he peeked over to look at my timetable. I saw him examine my schedule "you've got an excellent Thursday, I think my Wednesday is the best" I tell him as we look at each other's timetables.

I think this will be a good job for me.
