Draco has plenty of professor Granger fantasies

Against Nostalgia | Chapter Three

Summary: Fifteen years after the end of the second war against Voldemort, Hermione Granger is invited to Hogwarts for a one-year appointment as the professor for History of Magic, forcing her to take a break from a successful career at the Ministry of Magic. Draco Malfoy, meanwhile, is Hogwarts’ Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. He’s a former Auror, despite the fact that he still bears the Dark Mark. Though there’s mutual distrust between them, sparks quickly fly between Hermione and Draco…sometimes literally. And although the war is long over, it doesn’t take an interest in History of Magic to see that history is intent on repeating. Between them, Hermione and Draco have the power to shatter the world they know. Or, maybe, the could make it into something new. (Imagine if they fell in love at the same time.)

Pairing: Dramione

In this chapter, we see Professors Malfoy and Granger in action... in the classroom. Because that’s what we look for in dark academia, right?

The first years in particular always stare at him, and so Draco starts the first day of the school year the way he’s started the past three: by shoving up the sleeves of his robes and revealing the Mark on his forearm while the Gryffindors’ and Hufflepuffs’ eyes go round as saucers.

“I can tell you about defending yourself against Dark magic from experience,” he says, once he hears the first student squirm in the silence, “both as the good wizard and the evil one. I’ve met many of the creatures we’ll be learning about in your course of study, and called them friend or foe at different times. And what I know is this: what seems very clearly evil to you now will not always remain so. Goodness and evil may seem, at different moments, like their own kind of traps.”

One of the Gryffindors, Alfie Prewett, scowls at this. Draco stares at him until the boy is forced to meet his eyes, his lips nearly the scarlet of his tie.

“I am not here to instruct you in morality,” he continues, “rather my goal is to ensure you’re prepared for whatever you might face. But I will tell you that your fears are instructive.”

The Ministry and McGonagall would have him finish his opening salvo with a paean to light and goodness, but they’re not watching this class and Draco’s frankly not in the mood. Not when he’s playing Dark wizard on their orders.

Instead, he tells them about the origins of Dark magic and the creatures they know as monsters.

“You need to know that there are times when you may use these spells and feel as if you are causing harm to someone or something that doesn’t deserve it. Trust your instincts and keep going.”

A witch with deep brown skin and close-cropped curls raises her hand into the air, her Gryffindor tie catching the light with the motion.

“So if a vampire is bent on sucking our blood, we should think about offering our necks?”

The tone of her question, the certainty in it, reminds him so strongly of Hermione that Draco has to bite back a smile.

Nowhere else to turn Chapter 85: Profession

“Gussie… please promise me you’ll be careful?” Blaise stares intently into her topaz eyes, threading his fingers through hers. “You’re a total kick-arse, cool-as-a-cucumber killer cat, and I have the utmost confidence in you – but I worry about you, darling.”

“I’m not sure about your mixed metaphors there, but I’ll take all that as a compliment,” Gus jokes. “I promise I won’t take any silly risks, Blaise. You don’t need to worry about me, orsacchiotto.” Eh, I hope I pronounced that right…

“’Teddy bear’?! I’m your teddy bear! Oh, Gussie!” Blaise actually picks her up and dances them about his office as she clings to his neck and laughs helplessly. 

“Your teddy bear Blaisey is always going to worry about you – I guess that’s part and parcel of wooing a cop,” Blaise stops gallivanting as he processes his own words. “Cazzo– I’m dating a cop,” he breathes in astonishment as he settles her atop his fancy desk.

“Mmm… I did wonder when that was going to sink in. Do you have something to confess, Mr Zabini?” Gus teases.

“Yes, I’d like to report a crime – Auror Gilmont has stolen my heart,” he clutches at the named organ as she groans. “Too cheesy? Nah, too much is never enough with me.” Blaise links his hands behind her waist, his beautiful, generous lips drifting to within a few millimetres of hers.

“I should go… Kiss me, Blaise,” Gus closes the maddening gap as he happily acquiesces. She experiences a profound, primitive tug that resonates throughout her yearning body, her nerves immediately held in thrall to his touch and taste and smell… even his voice, as he hums in pleasure. Their tongues sensually tangle, their hands avidly stroking exposed skin and gripping strong young muscles...’

Why do I feel like Professor Granger (the professor Alison is the TA for) is orchestrating this whole thing? Like what if he/she paid Nolan to fake his death? Nolan gets an easy A for that class, gets out of all his other classes and off the crew team, gets away from his mother, just gets away from the Hotchkiss name and all its pressure entirely? Jeremy could be in on it too. Why? Idk, but when has reason really mattered in this PLL universe?

So far we haven't seen Professor Granger at all. I don't even know if they're a man or woman. Whoever they are, we don't know anything about them so theories are wide open. I think they wanted an experiment to see how a real life murder mystery would pan out. I think they also want to bring light to the ridiculous amount of pressure these kids are put under.

I started this theory a couple nights before Enter the Professor came on Hulu. I put it in my drafts when it felt like I was reaching. But come on, a villain named The Professor?

We don't know what Professor Granger looks like, sounds like, we don't know anything about him/her. But Alison was assigned to TA their class. Nolan, Ava, Caitlin, and Dylan were all in the class. Their summer assignment just so happened to be a murder mystery by Alison's favorite author. Coincidence? Nothing is coincidence here.
