This is one version of what would happen I am in the process of writing another. Hope you enjoy I apologise if there are spelling or grammar mistakes I regularly check my own work but perhaps miss a few. I have re-red the previous chapters and changed what I can see hope they were better. Have a fun read :D

A few people who had stopped to watch the duel gasped waiting for Harry to fall to the floor and scream in pain, but the now fully grown wizard with full auror training and almost potions master never moved a muscle.

"Ouch Malfoy that hurt"

Draco starred at Harry in shock no one could stand that curse he fired again but still no reaction. Harry showed no sign of pulling out his wand instead flicked his wrist and Malfoy yelled, many people watched as his skin began to peel of and bleed unknown to them it was a skin-tearing curse. Harry feeling rather satisfied turned around to head towards Severus at a slow pace just as he noticed Draco point his wand at his lover who was in fact stupidly not looking his way. Harry jumped in front of Severus putting up a shield that was unfortunately weak as he had just fought the Cruciatus curse twice just as Draco shouted the killing curse. Severus spun around as he heard the curse being mentioned thinking Harry had been hit, instead he watched as everyone gasped seeing Harry's magic repel the killing curse and throw it back to Draco. With a scream Draco went limp on the floor and died as Harry fell backwards into Severus' arms all his energy drained. Harry awoke 10 minutes later to find himself still at Hogwarts station in Severus' arms and stood up instantly followed by Severus who literally squeezed him so hard he couldn't breathe.

"Harry thank you for saving my life I love you"

"No problem lets go I love you too Sev"

Severus looked at Harry and kissed him on the lips only to find the younger man teased his bottom lip forcing Severus to open up. After a few minutes of exploring each others mouths Ron shouted at them to get a room so they both pulled away laughing before heading for the castle. Harry and Severus walked along hand in hand, as did Hermione and Ron; this is going to be the best year ever Harry thought to himself.

"So Harry Severus said you have completed auror training but how is that possible I mean like doesn't it take like 5 years to complete"

"Yes Hermione it usually does. I was determined to be an auror officially, mind you I'm on a special auror thing because normally I would be classed as too young, but anyway I wanted to be an auror by the time term started and I am it took me 5 weeks."

"Don't you have to be an animagus and be able to apparate"?

"Yes Hermione you do, I am and I can. My animagus form is a lion well actually I have two the other one is a serpent."

"Wow Harry that's totally wicked well done Harry mate. Show us Harry"

Finally getting the chance to show his friends what he had learnt over the summer he changed into his Lion animagus form and growled at Severus before changing into a Serpent. The best one of all which, Harry loved but rarely got the chance to do was apparating. When Severus, Ron and Hermione finally caught up with Harry he laughed saying they were far too slow.

"Harry you are such a show off. You forget though I can apparate a lot quicker than you can."

"Yeah I know you tart. Oh and I am not a show off"

"Are too"

"Fine but you still love me"

"True but you are still my show off"

Following the rest of the students both Severus and Harry made there way to the head table. Although it seemed strange to everyone else who had not yet been informed of the relationship between the two although the news was traveling extremely fast, to Harry he was simply complying with one of Albus' requests. Sitting in the seat he had come to love over the summer being next to Severus and having Albus on the other side meant a lot, he had learned how close the two older men were and how much fun they had. Smiling at the many students who looked at him curiously he carried on filling his plate with food. Although Severus had helped him eat more he was finding it difficult to put any weight on, you could still see his ribs. With all the necessary exercise and such he had put on 2 stone making him 7 stone in total since arriving at the school at the beginning of the summer. Feeling a pair of well known eyes on him he looked up to see his Severus starring at him, placing the biggest smile on his face that he could he beamed at the man not content until he got one back. Leaning over he whispered I love you but was interrupted before he could say anything else. What does the man want anyway? Well thank goodness he has finally decided to make a speech not that I'm complaining about being able to eat my dinner with Severus just I'm confused now. Ooooooooo I wonder why my Owl's are so important? Well Harry if you shut up thinking you will find out.

"A few moments of your time please. I suppose many of you are all wondering why Mr Potter is sitting with the staff. The easiest place to start in this type of conversation is at the beginning. Harry Potter here has been present in this school throughout the holidays completing some training for me. I understand there is gossip flying around concerning the new friendship between Professor Snape and Harry but that will be left to you own judgment until further notice. Give me a moment please I just need to confer with Harry here."

Not having a clue whether Harry was going to accept or reject his offer he bent down close to Harry's ear. Knowing that he could easily persuade the younger man simply by his love for Severus and he need to make the man happy Albus bluntly told Harry of his biggest request yet. Well why not get Harry to do it he is the best Potions master I have ever seen and he would also, be fantastic for defence against the dark arts but so is Severus. Besides it will make Severus happier and that's what we all want to do.

"Harry I have a request. Since completing you Potions master exam and beating Severus I have come to a small conclusion. You will easily fly threw your NEWTS this year and although I still want you to attend classes I was wondering how you would feel about being my new Potions master. My reason is you are the best I have seen since Severus and I would love to make Severus; dream come true and allow him the Defence against the dark arts position. I will pay you and everything; you can live with Severus if you like."

"Albus you know I would do anything to make Severus happy I would love to. At least I know this way I won't have to leave the school and I have basically passed my NEWTS just haven't sat the exams yet. I would love to take up the position Albus."

Many of the students, Professors and even Severus himself were looking curiously wondering what secrets were being told. This had something to do with him he knew it, he could feel Albus' stare on him and it wasn't bad he knew that much otherwise Harry would have been depressed. What on earth is going on?

"My apologies for that short but important interruption. Now as many of you sixths years know the owl results were sent out this year. It is a tradition for any new records made to be spoken in assembly. As many of you may be thinking it was Hermione Granger who broke the record but you are mistaken. None other than Harry Potter received a total of 8 Outstanding's in practical and theory: Potions, Charms, Defence against the dark arts on which he received 100, and Transfiguration. He also, received a total of 6 Exceeds Expectations in Practical: history of magic, care of magical creatures, Herbology, then on the Theoretical side: history of magic, astronomy and Herbology. Leaving him with an Acceptable in practical astronomy and theory care of magical creatures. Therefore he received a total of 16 owls. Next on my list still involving Harry is the fact that he is going to be your new Potions master, having completed his Potions master exam with 99 I believe he is more than qualified plus he will still be sitting his NEWT examinations. This means that one Severus Snape is your new defence against the dark arts Professor."
