Notes: This was written for slythindor100's Double Entendre tagging game. I was given the prompt "Were we ever like that?" by the lovely faith1922. Special thanks to gabe_speaks for the quick beta and facecat for the title. *squishy hugs to you both*
Minerva smiled at the couple sitting at her desk. Never in her career as a teacher nor as Headmistress of Hogwarts would she have ever guessed that Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter — or Harry Potter-Malfoy as it now was — would move past their childhood rivalry to fall as deeply in love as they did.
War does make strange bedfellows, she thought.
“If someone had told me six years ago that we would be sitting here together, having tea and discussing your curriculums, I would have had them immediately committed to the wing at St Mungo's for the Mentally Disturbed,” she said with a smile.
Harry winked at Draco before turning his attention back to the Headmistress. “I’m quite certain I would have found myself there when we started going out, had the world not needed me to kill Voldemort.”
Draco smirked as he cuffed Harry gently in the back of his head.
They got down to business and before too long they were heading towards the Great Hall to meet the students. Their students.
Harry leaned towards Draco and whispered, “Want to go for a walk after the Feast? Maybe we can find an empty alcove to snog in.”
Draco tried unsuccessfully to look shocked by his husband’s thoughts. “I’d suggest we go and christen our classrooms, but we already did that last night.”
“Yes, and any other classroom we could get into over the past fortnight,” Harry said with a smirk.
They sat through their first Sorting and first Welcoming Feast as professors, and stood as Headmistress McGonagall introduced them, nodding politely. Harry was introduced as the new Charms professor and Draco as the new Potions master.
After the Feast had ended, Harry and Draco began a leisurely stroll back to their rooms in the dungeon. Harry had turned down the opportunity to be the Head of Gryffindor House, in favour of Draco heading Slytherin. The Malfoy family was steeped in tradition and Harry understood the importance of it to Draco.
Stepping aside to allow the first year Slytherins to pass, Harry leaned in and whispered, “Were we ever like that?”
Draco chuckled softly. “What? Small, nervous and unsure? Probably.”
He nudged Harry and directed his attention to the alcove beside them. Inside, just visible in the shadows, was the outline of a couple in the midst of a heated snog.
Draco smirked as he prepared to separate the couple — “But I’ll guarantee we were never like that!”
For next Friday, I tag gabe_speaks with a prompt of "Well that's a unique use for that." Have fun!
