Wrong Time (Drarry)

"Oh and Potter?" I turned around and looked back at the man, "yes Severus?" He pushed his lips into a thin line, thinking for a second before saying, "I think this friendship is good for Draco, take care of him." I nodded awkwardly again, shifting a bit under his gaze, "of course professor." He nodded again towards the door and I walked out confused.

Two things I never expected in this life time. An apology from Draco Malfoy, and a thank you from Severus Snape. This is quite frankly the weirdest year of my life, and it's the only one without a madman trying to kill me. Hilarious. I quickly made my way to the defense class. "You really aren't ever on time are you Prongslet." My head shot up and I smiled widely. "REM!" I shouted before clearing my throat at Hermione's warning look, "I mean professor Lupin. What are you doing here?" He shrugged, "they needed a new defense teacher and I decided it's about time I stop letting things affect me." I smiled and nodded, before a dog tackled me.

"Why did you bring Padfoot?" I groaned as Draco Hermione and Ron laughed. No one else knew who padfoot was and they were all probably confused. Even though Sirius was cleared after the war, he still was unregistered so I didn't need anyone finding a reason to take him away again. "He wouldn't sit still." Remus simply shrugged and I rolled my eyes at the overdramatic prat, "Padfoot get off you git." Sirius walked away curling back up next to Remus' desk. "Alright class, I'm professor Lupin. You may recognize me as I was your teacher in your third year. I'm glad to be back." Everyone smiled saying hello.

Remus began to explain the lesson plan as I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to the blonde next to me. "What?" I whispered trying to be quiet. "Do you guys want to hang out after dinner with me, Pansy, and Blaise? I figured we could go play some party games in the common room or something." I nodded, smiling at him. "Sure, I'll ask everyone else but that sounds like fun."

"Harry could you come up and give us an example?" I jumped at my name, looking at Remus with a confused expression. He was smirking between me and Draco and I glared, not him too. "Sorry professor, an example of what?" He chuckled, "not a problem Harry, can you come up and show how you cast the patronus charm? I do believe you're quite good at them."

I smiled playfully, "well I had a fabulous teacher, but sure." I got up infront of the class, "uh, well the moral of it is focus. Close your eyes and focus on a happy memory. It has to be strong. Once you've not only thought of a memory, but can feel the memory.. open your eyes and speaking very clearly, 'expecto patronum!'" My stag appeared very quickly, running in circles.

"Amazing Harry!" Remus said, and I nodded to him, still holding up my patronus. The class all gasped in amazement. "Now I'm sure some of you were in dumbledores army, and can perfectly cast this charm already, but I still want everyone to learn it. Up out of your desks let's go. Harry you can help, since I know you teach it well." I blushed, nodding. "Yes professor." Everyone got in a circle and continued trying to cast one.

Hermione, Ron, Neville, Luna, and Ginny got it pretty quickly. As did all of the other members of dumbledores army. Remus was helping a hufflepuff, and I walked over to Pansy, Blaise, and Draco. "You guys going alright?" Pansy nodded, "I think I've got it." She said as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and as she said the spell, a decent sized fox started running around her head. "Fierce, I like it Parkinson. Excellent. Blaise..?" I trailed off as I saw a big black panther running around Blaise. "Wow, brilliant Blaise."

Draco had a sad look on his face, as he tried again to cast it. I walked up behind him, putting my hands on his shoulder. I leaned in and whispered in his ear, "relax, you're too stiff. Just breathe, close your eyes and focus on your memory." He nodded, relaxing under my touch, I didn't let go of his shoulders. He took a few seconds, and finally raised his wand, shouting 'expecto patronum.' The whole class had turned to watch us. I just ignored them focusing on Draco.
