~~3rd person’s POV~~
Professor Longbottom was very excited to hear the results of the Valentine's Day competition. And it wasn’t just him, all of Hogwarts was bubbling with excitement. Couples had been seen showing excessive displays of affection, trying to earn the title of Cutest Couple. Teddy had even pecked Victoire on the cheek in their Herbology class. It was one of the most adorable little kisses that Neville, the teacher, had ever witnessed, although Teddy looked as red as a tomato after Victorie kissed him back.
All of Hogwarts had finally gathered together in the Great Hall for a ball of epic proportions. Red, pink, silver and gold ribbons hung from the ceiling, as little paper hearts fell and disappeared on the ground. Hagrid had gotten the Thestrals to give rides in carriages of white for the couples. Each house table had removed their usual decor in favor of lighter colors, even the Slytherins tried to make their table more inviting by roping some Hufflepuffs into sitting there. A pair of girls, dressed in dark blue and purple, had gotten on stage and sang beautiful and jazzy songs as some students danced with their special someone.
The tables off to the side held cakes, cookies, tarts, candies, cupcakes, pies and hundreds of other sweet treats for this holiday. Fred II was spotted later in the night as he tried to bewitch the Strawberry Pie to sing “Honey Pie,” by the Beatles, as a red-headed ghost guided his hand to help with the spell.
But after what seemed like YEARS the time of announcement came, at just after 11:30 pm. Headmistress McGonagall held out a piece of parchment, squinting to see the final verdict.
“The winner of the first annual Cutest Couple award goes to….” McGonagall had to hand over the slip to Neville, as she stifled a laugh.
“D-Dairy? No, wait, Drarry? DRARRY HAS WON THIS YEAR’S COMPETITION!”

Later in Mcgonagll’s office, Neville asked her about what ‘Drarry’ was.
The old teacher laughed.“Oh, Neville. You can’t possibly be Sirius.” (A/N2: No, he’s Neville, you said it yourself)
“Drarry is the shortened name of a relationship between Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy.” She laughed under her breath, remembering when she was the Transfiguration Teacher and how the pair hated each other. (A/N2: Fun fact, Draco Malfoy’s original name was Draco Spinks. Just saying)
~~Harry’s POV~~
After my DADA class I walked towards the staff room, watching the new students and returning students hurry to lunch. I saw my longtime friend fellow professor, Draco Malfoy also walking to the staff room. As I closed in on the door I could hear voices poor out of the room.
“Professor Longbottom, is it true that Professor Potter and Professor Malfoy are dating?” Teddy Lupin said. I was tempted to go in but listening to the rest of the conversation was something I couldn’t pass up.
“Yes, have you seen the way they look at one another?” Nevilles voice, full of happiness, carried out of the room and evidently Malfoy had come close enough to the door to hear the final remark.
He rushed past me, opening the door wide, “What are you talking about?!” Draco was bright red. I slowly walked away, making a mental note to talk to Headmaster Mcgonagal about Neville letting children into the staff room and talking to Draco about stopping these rumors before they kicked up.
~~Rebecca Skeeter’s POV~~
It was the week after Valentine's Day, and I was determined to get answers. So I did what any sensible person would do, I ‘accidentally’ tripped into Prof. Potter’s hands, effectively shoving him into a broom closet to interrogate him.
“I am terribly sorry, Professor. Silly old me, always a clutz. But now that I have you here, can I ask you a few questions regarding your relationship with Professor Malfoy?”
Prof. Potter seemed to seize up at the mention of Prof. Malfoy. “So sorry, but I have a class right now, an-”
I put on a fake smile that I had learned from my grandmother. “Now, now, I’m sure that can wait. It will just be a second?”
He put his bag over his legs and leaned back. “Get on with it then.”
“Wonderful! Let me just get my pen,” I smirked quickly before composing myself and rummaged through my bag. I pulled out an ancient pen, and spoke in a commanding tone to it. “Rebecca Skeeter, age 12.” The pen wrote down Rebecca Skeeter, age 12, beautiful blue eyes, golden hair, extremely smart.
Perfect.
“So, Professor, what’s the story about you and Malfoy?”
Potter gazed warily at the pen. “Don’t call him Malfoy. He is a teacher, and you will treat him with the respect he deserves.”
Harry Potter, Long Time Hero and Boy Who Lived To Defend Retired Death Eater Draco Malfoy.
Potter looked outraged at the pen. “Don’t call him a Death Eater! He was forced to take on the Dark Mark!”
“He’s innocent! My darling wouldn’t hurt a fly!!”
“I didn’t say that!” Potter stood up and tried to push open the door before looking again at my pen, “Wait, where did you get that?!”
“What?” I grabbed the pen, which was furiously writing, out of his grasp.
“That pen! I’ve seen it before..”
I raced to pack my bag before he could connect the dots, and was just about to barge out of the closet when he grabbed my arm.
“Skeeter, Skeeter… Are you related to, one, one Rita Skeeter by any chance?”
Instead of answering his question, I pushed open the door. “Sorry to waste your time, Professor. I have to go to class now. Bye!”
He looked dazed and every so slightly annoyed as I ran out of the room.
~~Victiore Weasly’s POV~~
“Professor, I don’t understand the homework. If you were to add Essence of worm root to beetle-eye powder, you would get a simple drought of the sky, not the earth?”
Prof. Malfoy waved me away as Prof. Potter burst through the dungeon doors, “Dr-Professor, one of my students,” he paused for a second before continuing, sounding unsure, “wrote on my favorite... piece of parchment... I need your help immediately!”
My teacher seemed to sigh at the obviousness of his lies, but left the room anyway. “Young Miss Weasley, you’re in charge.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time skippity~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, in DADA, Prof. Potter came in looking very flustered. “I’m sorry kids, Professor Malfoy, um, spilled… ‘Drought of the Flying… Cats’ on Mcgonagall, and now she is stuck on the roof of the astronomy tower. Young Mr. Lovegood is going to be teaching you the counter curse for a full body bind today.”
I raised one eyebrow as he raced out into the hallway, and joined Prof. Malfoy as they walked down the hallway together. It didn’t look like they were even going in the right direction to get to the astronomy tower but I didn’t question it as I turned my attention to Lorcan as he began to teach us.

“Mr. Lovegood, Mrs. Weasley, where is Prof. Potter?” Headmistress Mcgonagall said, leaning into the classroom as Lorcan and I practiced showing the spell.
“Um, he said that he had to help Prof. Malfoy with getting.... you off… the astronomy… tower,” And that was when I realized that she was never on the astronomy tower to begin with.
“Oh good, they were very helpful,” Mcgonagall winked as she turned, presumably going to find out two professors.
~~~~~~~~~Timey skipy of true awesomeness~~~~~~~~
~~~Rose Weasley POV~~~
As I walked with my Cousin, Fred II, down to the lake we could just hear the laughs of our two professors who were rumored (Mostly by Teddy and Alice) to be dating.
“Fred, come here!” I whispered and ran to hide behind a big tree.
“I am,” He grumbled, not noticing the two men by the lake.
“Look, they are so cute!” I whispered back to him.
“Ohhh, I’ll go get Teddy!” He whispered back, as he started running back to the castle.
“What are you even doing Potter,” Professor Malfoy laughed at his companion as Prof Potter balanced a chip on his nose.
“Being adorable,” Prof Potter laughed as he ate the chip and leaned his head on Prof Malfoy’s shoulder.
“Indeed you are,” Prof Malfoy said as he pulled out his wand, “Expecto Patronum!”
“What's your happy thought?” Prof Potter looked at Prof Malfoy.
“You!” Malfoy leaned in and kissed Potter just as Teddy, Fred II, Alice, Victiore, and a few others (Including the headmistress and Professor Longbottom) sighed.
“I knew it,” Prof Longbottom laughed as Prof Malfoy’s non-corporeal patronus looked like flowers upon his dated head.
“How long have you been there,” Malfoy jumped at us as Potter tried to hide his face. I stepped out, holding in a laugh as I heard Alice and Teddy whispering about some dumb bet that they made about how long they would date. Clearly Alice had underestimated their cuteness.
“We all saw you too,” Victoire piped up.
“Fine,” Malfoy said, annoyed. Slowly Prof. Potter stood up and walked over to Prof. Malfoy grabbing his hands.
“It's too late,” They kissed again as the sun set perfectly on the lake behind them.
Any and all suggestions are wanted!!
