"A plus" Draco jotted down in his perfectly scripted handwriting, Harry looked up from his cross-legged position on the floor, surrounded by papers and raised an eyebrow at his husband.
Draco had occupied the only desk in their tower and was currently marking homework,
"A plus?" Harry asked suspiciously,
"It was a very well written piece of work..." Draco defended,
"Give it here." Harry ordered, reaching his hand out, Draco gaped,
"Surely you cannot mean to tell me how to do my job" aghast the blonde looked into the eyes of the headmaster and saw that he was indeed, serious.
"As Headmaster it is my job to ensure all students are marked fairly"
"This is fair"
"Drake..."
"Really...it's a fantastically well written piece of work,"
"Draco."
"I mean-" at that point it appeared that Harry finally lost his patience and grabbed the parchment out of the pale hand. He then began to narrate,
"I think it important to have DADA so that we learn not to die,"
"That's a reasonable point..."
"It's more important than potions because Professor Malfoy told us it was"
"You can't argue with logic,"
"I'm sure Snape would find a way" Harry rolled his eyes "do I even need to read the rest?" Harry got his reply when Draco merely hung his head in shame, he nodded, "Draco, I think you should give this paper the grade it deserves, I really don't care what kiss arse comments are written in it."
Draco glared, "Yes Headmaster." He pulled the paper out of Harry's hands but instead of continuing to mark it, he merely glared daggers into the top of his partners head.
"Stop that." Harry spoke, without even looking up,
"Stop what?" Draco's voice was laden with mock-innocence,
"Glaring"
"Would I?" Harry looked up into silver-blue eyes and glared back.
Somewhere amidst the glaring Harry had moved so that he was sitting in Draco's lap. The pair where now kissing happily, Draco's eyes were still open, he refused to break the glare. Harry was revelling in the feeling of Draco's tongue massaging his own. The sensations where going straight to his groin. Unfortunately he was running out of oxygen, just before he pulled away he opened his eyes, to find Draco looking directly back at him,
"That's creepy"
"What is"
"Your eyes being open when we're kissing"
"Is it?"
"See" Harry leaned in and touched his lips with Draco's, they deepened the kiss but within seconds Draco was pulling away,
"You're right, that is creepy"
"See,"
"Eyes closed?"
"Definitely." They started kissing again, leisurely because they had all night. Draco was nibbling quite happily on Harry's bottom lip, Harry's hand where firmly around Draco's neck and unconsciously ground his bottom into Draco's erection, both moaned.
Neither Harry nor Draco were sure why they opened their eyed at that point, but the eye-opened kissing creeped them both out again and they broke apart.
"This isn't going to work" Draco realised,
"Why?" Harry pouted, Draco resisted the urge to suck that bottom lip into his mouth,
"Because right now I can't think about anything but opening my eyes." Harry nodded at Draco's explanation and moved off Draco's lap. He sat on the desk in front of the blonde and watching him, a smile playing on his lips.
"Do you think it'll be like this forever Drake?"
"Like what?" Draco tilted his head to the side,
"Passionate? Can two people live together for a long time and still be madly in love?"
"I suppose so, we've been together a long time and we're still all over each other" Draco winked and ran his hand up Harry's thy,
"Yeah, but do you think at some point, saying 'I love you' is just as meaningless as saying" Harry paused to think, and shrugged "'I want a cheese sandwich?'" Draco looked into the eyes of the person that he'd loved for the past thirteen years, probably more if he really stopped to analyse it and he couldn't imagine not feeling passionately in love with him,
"Maybe" Draco said, pulled the other man onto his lap and nuzzled his face into the long dark hair, Harry sighed. "Harry?"
"Hmmm?" Harry asked sleepily, his thoughts returning to all the paperwork on the floor,
"I cheese sandwich you," Draco kissed Harry's temple and Harry smiled.
Skyler rolled her eyes. Rulan was yet again telling some twisted muggle ghost story to the group currently occupying the common rooms. Skyler had to admit he had a gift for telling stories; even some of the higher years were paying attention. Skyler was so absorbed in Rulan's story she actually screamed when he made a grab for her arm.
"Get off me" she growled, pulling her arm roughly from the grasp of her sniggering friend,
"Jumpy Sky?" Ryan piped up from the corner, from his relaxed posture Skyler guessed that he'd heard this one before,
"No, not until people grab me" was the blonde's reply, sent with a prominent glare at Rulan who was still busy laughing. "Oh shut up." She growled, slapping his arm. He looked up and feigned a hurt expression,
"That wasn't very nice"
"You two fighting again?" Rebecca looked up from her homework, a 3000 word long astronomy essay. Skyler had tried to warn her that Professor Callaway had been in an incredibly bad mood, but her friend hadn't listened.
"We don't fight Beck. It's just the little'un here; she can't keep her hands off me"
"Oh you wish" Sky retorted, "Besides, who you calling little, I'm almost your size!"
"Sure you are," Rulan just nodded acceptingly and stood up of the floor, then sitting in a chair that had been currently vacated by an older student, when he saw the curious looks her was getting he grabbed his leg and raised his voice a few pitches "I had a cramp in my leg" everyone laughed.
Except Skyler.
She was busy glaring.
"Didn't sound anything like me" she muttered, Ryan patted her back gently and whispered in his most patronising voice,
"Of course not dear."
Skyler decided spring was her favourite time at Hogwarts. She was on her way to DADA alone because she was early. She hadn't meant to be fifteen minutes early but she had 'accidentally' missed all her morning lessons and had been to ashamed to go to lunch and face the angry faces of all her morning teachers. Her head of house included.
Now as she walked down the windowed corridor that led to her fathers classroom, she could hear the birds chirping outside, the smell of freshly cut grass wafting in and she was very pleased.
Rounding the corner to the classroom, she saw the doors were open, so she walked happily up to them, knowing that since they were her father had to be in there. It crossed her mind that she had not had a proper conversation with her parents in a very long while.
Standing in the doorway she saw that there was a student, must have been a seventh year standing at the front of the classroom, Skyler raised an eyebrow and watched.
Said student was leaning casually against Draco's desk, her robes open and the first four buttons of her school shirt undone. Her school shirt was the shortest Skyler had seen. Skyler could tell by her robes that the girl was a Ravenclaw.
"I apologise Miss Whitby, I cannot change a grade based on excuses," he handed her a piece of parchment,
"But I've never gotten anything below a B before, professor," she looked up, shifting slightly so the she was closer to Draco.
Skyler had to try hard to keep from scoffing.
"Again I'm sorry, may I suggest the library" he looked apologetically towards her,
"But I don't understand the sudden drop in marks" she bit her bottom lip gently, Draco's eyes flickered of the lip momentarily but the focused themselves back onto her eyes,
"I'm afraid that although a lot of your comments are very," he coughed, "flattering, I fear you are not learning very much"
"Then maybe" she smiled sweetly, "some extra tutoring would help," her smile faded into a slightly more suggestive grin "I mean NEWTS are coming soon, you wouldn't want me to fail would you?"
"I wouldn't wish any of my students to fail Miss Whitby"
"Well then, I don't mind giving up my time for studying" she stepped closer to him, so that now Draco was looking down on her. She pulled at a strand of her dark thick hair that hung passed her shoulders, "and please call me Faye...?"
Skyler coughed and Draco's eyes snapped to her. He automatically took a step back from his student, "We'll see Miss Whitby" he replied forcefully, she looked slightly crestfallen "I'll take it up with the headmaster. Now go I wouldn't want you to be late for your next lesson."
She sighed "Goodbye Professor" and walked out of the room, glaring daggers at Skyler when she passed. Skyler walked into the room, dropping her stuff on her regular desk and hopping up to sit on it,
"What was all that about?" Skyler asked suspiciously,
"Nothing." Draco answered defensively. "You're early."
"Sorry if I broke up your little flirt-a-thon" she glowered, looking down, Draco looked up and instantly his features softened, he walked over to his daughter and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Skyler, you know I would never cheat on your dad. I love him very much" he paused and stared at the door, "Miss Whitby is however, a very determined student."
Skyler looked up, "Oh my god, you fancy her?" he lips curled up into a disgusted grimace,
"No!" Draco defended, looking scandalised at his only daughter,
"Yick, that's gross. She's half your age"
"Skyler"
"No, that's....oh my gosh....does dad know?" she looked up frantically,
"Skyler. There is nothing for dad to know? Understand?" he grasped his daughters hand "honestly, I love dad and in case if you didn't notice, I like boys remember?" Skyler nodded reluctantly,
"I guess" there were tears in her eyes, Draco kissed her forehead,
"Why don't you come up to the tower tonight and have supper with Dad and me? We haven't seen you in a while" Skyler smiled and nodded gently, she really did miss her parents. They always seemed to be so busy lately. Draco pulled her into a hug,
"Right, be there about seven thirty? Unfortunately he still has to make an appearance at the official supper." Draco rolled his eyes exaggeratedly, "Now, get ready for lessons, and Skyler?" he threw of his shoulder as he walked back down to the front of the room,
"Yes father?" she asked, pulling her things out of her bag,
"Don't sit on the desks" at this Skyler jumped off sheepishly,
"Yes father." She laughed.
Yey, another chapter. I hope you all like it! I hope you all don't kill me because of Faye. I have to throw somebody in there to spice things up, don't I?
I saw POA last night, I won't even begin to rant about all the parts they missed (how can you go through the whole film without explaining moony, padfoot, wormtail and prongs?). I don't like the new set makeover. In fact, I'd go as far as to saw I hate it.
Some parts are great though, I'm still going to see it again. Teehee.
See ya next chapter people.
