My Magical Hogwarts: Friendship Is In Your Veins

The Second Potions Teacher

A week later, they were eating breakfast in the Great Hall when Headmistress Celestia stood and got their attention

"Due to the number of potion classes, I have hired a secondary potions teacher. I would like to introduce you to Professor Malfoy, who will be taking a class in the second dungeons classroom. The first, second, and third year potion classes will now be taken by him." she said.

Rainbow looked at the Professor. His skin was pale, practically white, he had blonde hair, and silver-blue eyes.

They could see Professor Potter glaring at Professor Malfoy, who caught his eye and smirked, eyes cold, glaring right back. The two exchanged looks of hatred the whole breakfast. They had Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions that day, and saw that Professor Potter seemed furious as he conducted the lesson. He was polite enough not to take it out on them, but as they left for Potions, he pulled the Gryffindors aside and whispered to them.

"I want you to tell me if Malfoy tries to favor the Slytherins." Rainbow, Daring, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, and Soarin nodded, saying that they would.

"You've been studying Potions under Professor Zecora, who has a rather different manner of teaching." Professor Malfoy said after they'd started class, waving his wand and making the fires under their cauldrons flare up. "Your first task is to make the Draught of Peace, instructions are in page 24 of your books." Professor Malfoy directed, and they all grabbed their things.

During the lesson, Lightning Dust tried pouring Syrup of Hellebore down Blaze's shirt, while Blueblood, Uppercrust, and Jet Set shoved Fleetfoot so that she almost fell into her cauldron, but luckily Spitfire grabbed her in time

"Lightning Dust, Blueblood, Uppercrust, Jet Set, twenty points each from Slytherin." Professor Malfoy snapped, turning to them "Are you alright?" he asked

"Yeth thir." Fleetfoot said

"Yes Professor Malfoy." Blaze responded

The four friends met Professor Potter outside the Room of Requirement after dinner, the others joining them; they were going to make their clubhouse in the Room.

"Well?" Professor Potter asked

"Professor Malfoy didn't show any prejudice, he helped Lightning Streak when he added the wrong thing to his potion, and even took twenty points each from Lightning Dust, Uppercrust, Blueblood, and Jet Set when they misbehaved." Daring said, and Professor Potter looked surprised

"Probably just trying to put himself in a good light with those of us who aren't sure about him." Professor Potter muttered

"Yes, that's the only reason." a drawling voice said behind them, and Professor Malfoy sauntered up "Nice beard Potter." He smirked

"What do you want Malfoy?" Professor Potter asked, they saw his hand drift to the pocket of his robes.

"Mind your temper Potter, I'm just here to find something." Professor Malfoy emphasized the word 'find' as he spoke

"It wouldn't happen to be the cabinet, would it?" Professor Potter asked, and he glared at him

"As a matter of fact, it is. Still scared of the mark you've never seen?" Professor Malfoy said teasingly

"Not quite, Malfoy, just suspicious." Professor Potter replied, drawing his wand

"Relax Potter, I'm not going to do anything." Professor Malfoy began pacing, and a door appeared

"You kids stay out here, I'll go in." Professor Potter said, following Professor Malfoy in. Rainbow and Daring went in after them, however, seeing a huge room filled with stuff.

"What are you even planning to do with that thing?" they heard Professor Potter ask

"This, and you might want to duck." Professor Malfoy replied as Rainbow and Daring rounded a corner. "Reducto!" they heard him yell, and a huge cabinet burst into pieces, the fragments splintering and going everywhere. The two men ducked, as the twins hid behind a stack of objects.

"Y-you destroyed it?" Professor Potter asked, straightening up

"Of course. I don't want anyone sneaking in and harming the kids." Professor Malfoy explained

"Since when did you care about that?" Professor Potter seemed shocked

"I'm not the same boy I was in our school days Potter. did you honestly think I haven't changed? it's my parents that have stayed the same." Professor Malfoy asked, sounding hurt

"I'm sorry...Draco." Professor Potter said after a moment.

"I'm sorry too, Harry." Professor Malfoy added, and Professor Potter strode forward, placing a hand on his shoulder

"Draco, what exactly is different about you?" he asked

"Rather a lot..." Professor Malfoy said, almost shyly

"How about we discuss it in my office? We can get some food from the kitchens." Professor Potter suggested, and Professor Malfoy nodded

Daring and Rainbow raced back to the others before the Professors saw them, and told them what happened.

"From what Professor Potter told us, I wouldn't be surprised if they become friends. he said people changed after the war, so the Professors should be willing to change their opinions on each other." Twilight commented, as the two Professors left the Room.

"You can go in now kids, just conjure a nice room for your clubhouse after I shut the door." Professor Potter said, closing the door, then heading towards his office with Professor Malfoy
