After quitting the Auror department at the ripe old age of twenty two, Harry Potter finds a nice, uneventful job in an apothecary. At least, it's uneventful until his old rival Draco Malfoy comes into the shop. They strike up an unlikely friendship, which evolves into an increasingly convoluted scheme, which then snowballs spectacularly out of control into a tangle of lies and blurred lines. They'd agreed to a fake relationship ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ̶ in Harry's case, to get the wizarding world to take him off his 'perfect saviour' pedestal, and in Draco's case, just to be given a chance in wizarding society at all ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ̶ but neither of them expected just how difficult that might really turn out to be. Especially when the stakes grow ever higher, and they both start falling for each other. Just a little bit. ______________________________________________ •Written March 2017 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ̶ May 2020• [Complete, 52k words] The first 5 chapters were beta'd back in early 2018 by @ItsATwix, @SimonTheVampir, & @drarryislifeforme; the first 7 in autumn 2019 by my friend @CoraWritesThings.

When Harry Potter arrived to Hogwarts six years ago, he was sorted into Slytherin by the sorting hat. To say the professors and headmaster were shocked, along with the students watching, was an understatement. Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, was now rumored even more so then before to be a dark wizard as Tom Riddle once was. Meanwhile, when Draco Malfoy arrived at Hogwarts, he was sorted into Ravenclaw unlike the many lines of his family whom were almost all sorted into Slytherin. He made friends with Hermione Granger and Pansy Parkinson who had also been sorted into Ravenclaw. During their sixth year at Hogwarts, a bet ensues between Harry Potter and Hufflepuff Ronald Weasley; Who can score the best date to the end of the year Christmas party? When it begins, it's all just a game, when it ends, who will the joke be on?

Harry and Draco are both starting as Hogwarts professors at the same time. Their students quickly start to get a slightly different impression about their relationship than Harry and Draco have.
