They eventually got dressed and went downstairs for dinner.
Severus looked wide-eyed at the two who looked like they had been shagging for days.
Sirius and Lupin smiled at them. Hermione couldn't help but produce a little smirk of her own.
Their hair was all over the place, although Harry's hair was always all over the place. Both of their cheeks were flushed and their clothes had been haphazardly put on.
"Glad to know that two of the more intelligent graduated population of Hogwarts is able to groom and dress themselves." Commented Severus who started smiling as well.
They both blushed and took a seat at the table. Chatter broke out amongst the table again.
"So, What are Draco and Severus going to do with all this extra free time without Death Eater duty?" Asked Hermione
Draco shrugged. He really hadn't thought about it. He usually just hung around the Order but he couldn't possibly keep doing that all the time.
Severus looked put out, "Now it means I have to spend more time marking student's work."
Hermione smiled at her old potions professor. He loved teaching and she knew it, he always had to put up this barrier to pretend he didn't.
"Draco, why don't you apply for being an Auror for next year? Or maybe even this year?" Suggested Harry
"No, if I see any more of you during the day I don't think I'll be able to hold myself."
The entire table hollered with laughter. None of them could imagine the reaction of the ministry if they caught them 'practicing' on their own.
"How about becoming a Healer?" Suggest Hermione
"No, that's not something I would do."
"Well, what would you do?"
Draco shrugged. "Well, its not like I can do anything as long as Voldemort is still alive right?"
"Yeah, he is still a pretty big problem." Said Harry
"Well at least you wont be going to Azkaban for sure." Said Hermione "Arthur knows what to do."
Draco nodded and smiled at the thought.
"Oh, perhaps I could be a teacher at Hogwarts!"
"Yeah, they are planning on getting a new Defense Against Dark Arts professor." Said Hermione
Draco smiled over at Severus as Severus glared at Draco.
"No, if I do I don't think I'd live very long."
A small sound of chuckle's came from the group, even Severus managed to laugh at the joke.
"Hum, if Severus becomes the new Defense Against Dark Arts professor then you can teach potions."
Draco shrugged, "Or maybe I could just help Severus with the work he's doing."
"That would be a great idea Draco, you're hired." Said a voice behind Draco.
Draco quickly turned to see who had spoken to him and saw Albus Dumbledore standing there.
"My, Draco, what have you and Mr. Potter been doing?" Asked Albus with a raised eyebrow.
"You don't want to know Professor." Said Severus
Albus chuckled at the humour that had begun to build with his potions master.
"Oh, one request please, when you report to work, please do not look as you do now, the students might get ideas."
They all laughed. As if they weren't already doing that within the school.
When they had all calmed down Albus cleared his throat. "I am quite serious Draco, I would like it if you came to teach at Hogwarts, I would give you the position as the new Defense Against Dark Arts position but we already have one, at the moment, so if you would be so kind as to assist Professor Snape around the school it would be very much appreciated."
Draco smiled at Dumbledore, "Thank You."
"Oh, no, no. Thank YOU Draco." Said the Headmaster, "I'll leave you to your dinner then."
"Oh, how rude of us, would you like to join us professor?" Asked Hermione standing up.
"Oh, no no, its okay. I already ate at the school." Said the Headmaster as he apparated away.
Hermione took her seat again and shrugged at the others who were looking at her.
"Well Draco, that solves you problem doesn't it?" Asked Sirius.
"Yeah, hey, what are you and Remus doing during the day?"
"Arthur lifted that stupid decree Umbridge had placed in about Werewolves and Remus was able to find some work within the ministry." Said Hermione
"Oh?" Remarked Draco with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, they hired me a few days ago. With the ministry of protection against magic."
"Really?" Asked Draco again with interest.
"Yes, its quite interesting. I learned a bit more about myself and they know I will be unable to attend work for a few days each month." Replied Remus
"Oh, and you?" Asked Draco eyeing Sirius.
"They've stopped looking for me. I've been cleared. Arthur has done a lot of work trying to make up for what his son had done."
"Oh, was it in the Daily Prophet?" Asked Harry
"Yeah, it was in the issue this morning actually. Apologizing for Fudge's mistake. Made old Fudge look like very much of an idiot."
They laughed, "Gave him a taste of his own medicine did he?" Asked Draco
Dinner went on with conversation amongst the individuals. Even the tension between Severus and Sirius had lessened to nothing but friendliness.
Harry sat there in silence looking at the group who was obviously enjoying themselves quite well. If dinner was like this everyday then life was worth saving and the world was worth living.
