His cheeks were burning hot in a matter of seconds, and he eventually had to look down, too flustered to meet Draco's smile.<br/>"I, hah -" Harry stuttered in half a laugh, his eyes still firmly fixated on the cup before him, yet seemingly unable to see it. "I'd say it's more nature than nurture," he eventually dismissed the compliment, his voice soft in an almost apologetic matter, as he finally dared meet Draco's eyes. However, the sight that met him took his breath away, leaving another silent, awkward moments between once answer and the other.<br/>"Um, basically since I graduated college," Harry finally managed to say, still sounding completely disoriented by everything. "- when I got a permanent position as a teacher."
