I simply must go (But baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (But baby, it's cold outside)
Your welcome has been(How lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (Look out the window at this dawn)
My sister will be suspicious (Gosh your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door (Waves upon the tropical shore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Gosh your lips are delicious)
But maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before)

"I can't believe he's gone," I say to Draco, on our way to breakfast a week later. Draco shrugs and wraps one of his beautiful arms around my shoulders. We go and take our usual seats at the Gryffindor table. We're eating our meal when the morning post comes in. A gorgeous owl drops a white envelope with a neatly scrawled address on Draco's plate. He picks it up gingerly with one of his elegant hands. He opens it carefully and pulls out a medium length letter.

"Who is it?" I ask Draco, as a slow smile breaks out onto his face. "It's my Mother, she is coming to Hogwarts." I gasp, "Why?" I ask him. He looks at me excitedly, "Well, since McGonagall is Headmistress she can't be a teacher anymore. Mother was an amazing transfiguration student and she actually has some teaching experience, she has the job!" I hug him and he hugs me back his face so alive. Then he sits back and regains his composure, same poker face as usual. Except for this time, his eyes are shimmering, the grey and green in his eyes are swirling.

The past week has been absolutely hectic. We walked out in our true forms and it was absolutely crazy. The Minister had to come back to Hogwarts and record it in books. Questions were coming left and right from absolutely everybody. But, everyone got over it eventually, well mostly everyone. We still get the occasional strange or awed look. Who can blame them? Draco looks absolutely stunning.

"When will she be arriving?" I ask him, after swallowing a mouthful of golden hash browns. "Today!" He says. As soon as he says that, Lady Malfoy walks into the room. The Great Hall notices her, and everybody quiets down. Headmistress McGonnagal steps up to the podium, "Quiet please," She calls out, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to introduce you to your new transfiguration teacher, Professor Malfoy." Lady Malfoy stands up and a light applause breaks out. She takes the Headmistress' place at the podium.

"Good morning students," She begins, "I'm very excited to begin teaching you. Now, before you have to listen to me teach stuff most of you will unfortunately forget, I believe Mister Malfoy wanted to put on a little performance for you, along with Mister Potter." I look at Draco in surprise. He smiles at me, and I know exactly what song he wants to do. (A/N Draco is in parentheses both is in bold.)

I really can't stay (but baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go away (but baby, it's cold outside)
This evening has been (been hoping that you'd drop in)
So very nice (i'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)

My mother will start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry?)
My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (beautiful please don't hurry)
But maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)

The neighbours might think (baby, it's bad out there)
Say what's in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell (i'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)

I ought to say, no, no, no sir (mind if I move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (what's the sense in hurtin' my pride?)

I really can't stay (oh baby don't hold out)
But baby, it's cold outside

The Great Hall breaks out into applause. I kiss him softly on the lips, and he smiles against my mouth. We go grab our bags and head off to our first class. We're almost there when we get pulled out of the hallway into a dark classroom. "Um, what?" Draco says. A light goes on and I can see Snape and Remus. "Hello, boys," Greets Remus, "I have gathered both of you here to learn how to use and more importantly, control, your new magic. You will both work on wandless magic, elemental magic and combat magic." Remus says we nod. "Meet me back here tonight for training after dinner." We nod and then quickly rush off to Charms.

Charms was absolutely dreadful, Draco and I couldn't stop blasting things, or are spells being way too strong. We were doing Cheering Charms, let's just say a couple walked a way with their mood altered for at least a week. We quickly eat dinner, and head up to the room where we will be meeting them. "Good evening, you have to read the first chapters of these books and then we will go over some techniques." He says, and our first lesson begins.
