Prologue – Birthday Surprise
Sitting among the rest of the Hogwarts staff the newest Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher smiled at some of the memories that had occurred during his seven years here. Granted that there was a year when he had not been here, but hat to take another year to make up for it. As had a lot of others, who parents had taken them out for their own safety, but after Voldemort's defeat people deemed it safe to bring them back. Now a year after the dark wizard's attack Harry was once again at Hogwarts, the first place he'd ever felt at home. Only instead of being a student he was a teacher who was taking the summer to make sure he was fully prepared for September when the students arrived.
Today just happened to be Harry's 20th birthday so the new Headmistress McGonagall was having a feast with all the teachers present. Even Professor Trelawney had come down from the tower to join them. Snape who had survived the attack by the skin of his teeth sat, sneering at his once again lost job, until the blonde haired boy next to him elbowed him sharply. The Malfoy's had once again been cleared of all charges due to Mrs. Malfoy's helping Harry in the end. Draco had taken over McGonagall's class, having become a dragon animagus himself.
A clinking of glasses brought everyone's attention to the head of the table.
"A toast, to Mr. Potter on his birthday, also to welcome you and Mr. Malfoy to Hogwarts as teachers. Please do try not to fight while in front of the students," McGonagall said, raising her glass.
Harry laughed, his eyes catching silvery-blue eyes which were filled with amusement. The two had become friends when Narcissa had continually invited Harry to tea, dinner and parties over the last year.
"I think we can refrain ourselves," Draco said, his Malfoy smirk in place.
Harry laughed before feeling something feather light crawl up his back and rest on his shoulder blades, a shiver rand down his spine before pain spread through every nerve. Harry did not scream, instead he fell out of his chair, the last thing he saw was the concerned faces of the teachers before darkness took over.
