*Sorry this is so short and boring

Draco blushed to an unnatural shade of puce as his son and daughter continued to stare at him.

"Uh, Professor Granger, ahem -"

"Professor Thomas to you, Malfoy," Hermione grumbled.

"Yes, Professor Thomas wanted me to tell you that I will be taking up the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, starting immediately." He stopped, meekly waiting for a reaction.

"Ok!" Layla said grinning. "It'll be fun with you here."

"Erik, what about you?"

"Yeah, whatever. It's fine with me. Can I go back now? I was beating Brad at Wizard Chess!"

"Of course," And with another swish of Hermione's wand they were back in exactly the same positions they had left.

"I'll show you to your living quarters and classroom. Professor, you may return to your duties," McGonagall ordered. As they climbed the changing stairs towards the Dark Arts Department McGonagall began speak,

"Plenty has changed since you left. Many... things have happened and we have been forced to change. You'll get used to it but if you need any help, please come to me. Also, just ignore Hermione's rather open hostility. She's very touchy these days. She lost one of her daughters during the war and is very edgy towards anyone who still has all of their children. She has another son and daughter who just started here. Twin! Jeanie and Patrick. They're lovely children but Hermione is opposed to showing them any sort of affection at all. Anyway here's your room. I'll let you get settled and I'll see you at dinner. I trust you remember where your seat will be." McGonagall finally stopped speaking and left the room. Draco looked around and thought to himself about how lucky he was to have a job but how happy was Erik really about it?
