It was Dawn's first class of the day, it said "7th years- Gryffindor and Slytherin" on her schedule. Dumbledore had explained the basics of Hogwart's names and procedures, etc. but she was still trying to get the hang of it. She watched as her class began to filter in. There was a large amount of salty goodness in the school so far, she thought. She wondered if she was allowed to date the students, considering she was their age, even if she was teaching them. Then, the hot blonde from earlier came in. Damn, she thought, this is going to make up for any second thoughts she had had about this job.

"Hi" she said awkwardly as the students took their seats. She noticed the hot blonde moved to sit in the front row. He smirked at her discomfort.

"I'm Dawn Summers, and I'm going to be your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher" She introduced herself with a wry grin. Wow, it just hit her, she was a teacher. The Powers certainly had a sense of humor.

"I'm seventeen, just like most of you" she replied with an amused look at their shocked faces.

"Isn't that a bit young to be teaching?" The bushy haired girl called out.

"You're American?" A redheaded boy shouted above the voices of the eager students.

The class chuckled at the redheaded guy.

She pointed at the girl and replied:

"I guess not, I was hired wasn't I?"

The girl blushed, and she almost felt bad for responding so harshly. Almost.

"As for you, Blondie, I'll think about it," She said with a saucy wink at him.

"My names Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" He called out in response.

"I think I'll call you Blondie"

"You can call me whatever you want, Professor" He said with emphasis on Professor. She smiled; he was flirtatious little shit wasn't he? Well, two could play that game. This job was looking up
