At 21, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy never expected to end up back at Hogwarts—let alone as professors. With Harry teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts and Draco taking over Potions, all is fair in love, war, and wizard academia. At 21, Harry walks into the Hogwarts staff room, ready to start his new job—only to find Draco Malfoy already there. Their eyes meet, expressions mirroring the same horrified realization. They are both professors. They are both stuck here. And if Hogwarts thought the war was over, it clearly didn’t account for this.

Harry’s first lesson goes off the rails when Draco, planted in the back row, turns his entire lecture into a personal comedy show—complete with eye rolls, fake note-taking, and “helpful” interruptions

After too many disruptions in class, McGonagall decides to punish both Harry and Draco—by forcing them to co-supervise detention together. Their task? Sorting through the cursed objects storage.

When a cursed Malfoy heirloom nearly takes Harry down, Draco saves him without hesitation. When Harry, for the first time, asks where he’s been since the Battle of Hogwarts, he realizes Draco isn’t just banished—he’s orphaned, just like him.
