Chapter 2:Harry's Perspective

Harry looked around the study and all sorts of memories came back to him, ever since he was a small first year all the way to his sixth year. He never went back for his seventh, but he had enough experience and outstanding O.W.L.s to get a job as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. And he was close friends with Headmistress McGonnagal, so she was thrilled to have him come to Hogwarts and teach. His first year of teaching was a bit nerve-wracking, he had to admit, and there were some habits he had to break-like coming into the staff break room sometimes when invited by Professor Longbottom, instead of feeling like a student being dared into breaking the rules and avoiding it altogether-but the year went by without major incident on his part. After his second year of teaching, he began to like his job and found enjoyment in it. Of course, the knowledge of Malfoy being a part of the teaching staff made the experience uncomfortable to deal with-if not intolerable.

The whole first four years of his career, Harry and Draco had chairs set far away from each other at the staff's banquet table in the Great Hall, they regard each other unwillingly and with iced detachment at the staff meetings, and aside from those necessary socialites that protocol demanded, they avoided each other altogether. Malfoy, however, avoided everyone of the staff unless it was a staff meeting, or sometimes he came down for meals. Most of the time he stayed in his chambers. No one knew what he did during those times he was alone. It was rumored he just mixed potions and was trying to discover a new mixture. But whatever was really going on in Professor Malfoy's chambers, Harry knew it must be something of evil intent.

Harry Potter, however, couldn't be any more wrong...

Author's Note: I know, I know. A short chapter here. But I assure you, most loyal readers, that I've been writing this story out long hand and there's definitely more to come! I just wanted to split this section off so I have some decent chapter bits for this story. R&R as always!
