Fuh-Q-Fest at http/ \'Coming out\'

Harry Potter froze in his seat at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall as he looked at the most recent issue of the Daily Prophet. Thoughts of the talent show Dumbledore had just announced that would be held in two weeks flew out of his head as he saw in bold black letters, “The Boy Who Lived in love with a Deatheater!” Harry paled as he opened the newspaper and saw an entire spread on his love life with Severus Snape. Harry felt nauseous as the writer, Rita Skeeter, or the bitch as Harry now referred to her, wrote about how Harry had once again defeated the Dark Lord. However, he was once again in danger, this time from his potions professor, who according to sources, a.k.a. students, was a deatheater, and only claimed to be a spy for the light to keep from getting sent to Azkaban.

She wrote that while it was nice that Harry thought he was loved, the truth was Snape was only using him. She said that Harry was easily deceived and was foolish to think that Snape could love him. She also wrote that Dumbledore was a kind, trusting old man and although it was brave of him to stick up for the “deatheater scum” as she called Snape, he was being manipulated as well. She speculated that Snape had probably gotten Dumbledore’s support during and after the war by a potion or had the poor, sweet elderly man under the Imperius curse.

The part if the article that got Harry roaring mad was when Skeeter wrote that Snape deserved the Dementor’s Kiss and that the if the Auror’s didn’t begin an immediate investigation she would go to the Minister of Magic. Harry shook in anger as he put down the paper, he was about to go send Skeeter a howler when another article caught his eye, this one reading, “Deatheater in a Threesome Relationship! Is the boy who lived closest friends being forced to take a love potion?” Harry read that article, and saw red, she had written that Draco was a deatheater, that he was also using Dumbledore for his own purposes like his head of house, and that he was forcing Hermione and Ron to be with him using some kind of love potion supplied by Snape. She once again demanded an immediate inquiry by the authorities.

Harry only glanced up from the article when he heard, “That Bitch! How dare she write this… this filth; giving Ron and I a love potion my ass.” Harry watched somewhat amused as Hermione sitting next to Ron marched out of the hall. “Ron?” Harry asked in a whisper, “Are you okay?” Ron, red in the face, could only nod, “Yeah, I’m fine Harry.” Ron whispered back, “It’s Draco I’m worried about.” Harry glanced over at the Slytherin table to see a pale Draco slowly get out of his seat and walk out the door ignoring all questions thrown at him.

“Harry I’d better go. Hey! What she wrote about you guys is bullshit, she knows nothing. Professor Snape loves you very much. Don’t let her get to you. We’ll find out how she got wind of you and the Professor. It’ll be okay.” Harry nodded and whispered back, “Yeah, go, don’t worry about me I’ll be fine.” Ron stood up and walked out of the Great Hall, and Harry, having lost his appetite, left as well going to the one place that made him feel safe, Snape’s private chamber.

Ron stood outside of the Great Hall and looked left and then right. Left would take to him to the Room of Requirement where Draco was sure to be and right would take him to Gryffindor Tower where Hermione was sure to be starting a howler. Knowing he would need Hermione in comforting Draco he went right and minutes later (just as he predicted) he saw Hermione, howler in hand, getting ready to start. “Hermione, love,”

Ron said gently knowing that his girlfriend was a dangerous person to be around when she was angry. “Come on, I know you want to make a howler but you can’t, not right now. Draco needs us; you know where he is so let’s go. We’ll send a howler to that woman later. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about, and Draco needs to know that.” With that said Ron waited. He knew that he wasn’t the smartest one of their group, but surprisingly he had turned out to be the most empathic.

Hermione breathed in and out slowly trying to calm herself as she digested what Ron had just said. He was right; of course he was right, but that… that thing had said awful things about Ron, Draco, and her and Hermione knew she could not allow that to stand. But at the same time Draco was hurt and he needed comfort, ‘Draco now, beetle later’ she thought. Nodding her head at Ron she put down the howler and grabbed his hand.

She took off knowing that they had to get to Draco before he did something to hurt himself in his self-loathing and anger. They reached the room quickly and checking the corridors to make sure no one was around she whispered, “Cream savers.” Entering the room quickly they looked around. The walls were a dark murky blue color with long draperies that hung from the ceiling in the same color, making the room feel heavy.

There was a bed on which Draco was perched, curled in a little ball. The covers and pillows matched the color of the walls. Hermione could tell that Draco was upset; the slight arch in his back was the only indication that he was crying. Ron went behind Draco and slowly uncurled his body, and Hermione went in the front resting her head on Draco’s lap, waiting for the digits that would moments later start to comb through her hair for comfort.

“Draco,” Ron whispered, “It’s okay, she’s wrong, you’re not scum, disgusting, a loser, a coward, or any of the things she accused you of being. You are you, and I don’t want you any other way. You went through hell to keep Harry, Hermione, and me safe. She had no right. You are perfect just the way you are, and I love you.” Ron kissed his forehead lovingly and waited knowing that now Draco needed to hear the same thing from Hermione.

“Dragon, that bitch will pay for what she said, she just jealous because she couldn’t get laid even by a blast ended skrewt. You are wonderful and I love you to pieces just as Ron, Harry and Professor Snape do. Don’t worry, you are not your father, you will never be him. You stopped being like your father the day you came to Dumbledore for help. I’m so proud of you, we’re so proud of you; never be ashamed of who you are. You deserve all the happiness you can get.” Slowly Draco nodded before saying quietly, “Thanks I … I needed that.” Ron in response only tighter his arms and Hermione only snuggled deeper.

Harry barely gasped the password to Snape’s chambers before he began to cry. ‘It’s not fair,’ he thought ‘I’m always causing Severus problems. I just want to make him happy and instead I make his life more miserable. Damnit, why us? I killed Voldemort why can’t the world just leave me alone?’ Tears continued to fall from Harry’s eyes as he pondered why nothing in his life was ever easy. Strong arms slowly wrapped around him and he turned into those arms sobbing and repeating “I’m sorry, I don’t know how she found out but I’m sorry. She is way off base, I love you, nothing is wrong with our relationship. I’m eighteen, legal in both worlds; please don’t be angry, I’m sorry.”

Severus sighed as he looked at his young lover’s face filled with agony and fear of being left. “Shhhh… hush now, I’m not going anywhere Harry, but now that the world knows about us and Draco apparently precautions have to be taken for your safety, as well as Draco’s, Granger’s, and Weasley’s. Its okay; she’s just some stupid wench. Nothing to get upset about, now dry your eyes; you have classes soon.” Harry nodded and buried himself deeper into Severus’s chest. He breathing slowly became rhythmic as he fell asleep with his lovers scent around him.

Severus sighed again as he looked at Harry, still small from years of starvation, his black hair just as wild and untamed as ever. His eyes though were much livelier, mainly due to the fact that Voldemort was dead. Harry had defeated him with the help of the Order at the age of seventeen, missing a year of Hogwarts to do so. Because of this the mischievous four plus Luna, Neville, and Blaise were all graduating with Ginny’s class.

The fact that the wizarding world now knew of their relationships did not bode well for the five of them. It hadn’t when Sirius had found out and nearly killed Severus, and now it would be even worse. Severus growled knowing that Skeeter was going to get it from him. Harry was going to be a nightmare to deal with now, nightmares of his uncle and his abuse would come back, the world would be owling him telling him that they were ashamed, Black would probably do something to make Harry more upset, and Harry had to deal with the schools reaction. Severus looked at the clock and groaned, not even ten o’clock and the day had already gone bad.

Severus looked up to hear someone enter his chambers, covering Harry up he went to see who it was, Albus stood in the door way twinkle in his eye dead as he looked at Severus. “How is he?” Albus asked as he sat down with a cup of tea. “Not good Albus, this will result in a complete set back. The nightmares will return soon enough. Albus how did this happen? Harry isn’t fit to go to classes, and I doubt the sweet three will be either. Albus… if this dose anything harmful to any of them I swear I will not be responsible for my actions. What the hell was that woman thinking?” Dumbledore stood and said, “I’ll protect you five the best way I know how. Sirius will be here soon with Remus, do try to be civil for Harry’s sake. Naturally they are all excused from classes, will you be teaching?” Severus nodded his head, “Yes I’ll wait until the mutt comes to watch Harry.” With that Dumbledore turned to leave and stopped only when Severus said, “Albus, thank you.”

Severus didn’t wait long for Sirius; he arrived just as Dumbledore was leaving the room. “Where is he?” Sirius demanded, staring at Severus. Severus growled and went into his room to get Harry. Gently he said, “Harry, come on, wake up, your mutt and Remus are here. They will not be coddling you in my bedroom.” Harry looked up at him through blurry eyes and merely raised his arms. Severus glared at Harry saying, “No, I am not your servant; you can walk.” Harry only continued to raise his arms and an annoyed Severus picked Harry up and carried him to his godfathers. “Here now get out I have a class in ten minutes.” Severus turned to leave and a whimper stopped him in his tracks. Growling he turned and stalked up to Sirius, leaning down he captured Harry’s mouth in a soft kiss, stroking his cheek. Harry sighed and with one sharp nod to the older men Severus left them to sooth his lover while he went tormented the rest of the school.

The week was hectic filled with howlers, questions from friends, nightmares, and eventually the Minster of Magic. The howlers came from old classmates, Aurors, and regular witches and wizards; they were immediately sent to Snape’s chambers where they would not be heard, as Snape refused to upset the four. Molly came to visit during lunch on the day the article came out and she spent ten minutes crying while holding Draco, Ron, and Hermione. When she was calm enough she said that she was happy for the three of them, and that they would have some hard times but not to listen to Skeeter, who she had sent howler to as soon as she had read the article.

Then she turned to Harry and told him that she was happy for him and that she would support Snape and him all the way. She had even gone as far to say that she was happy it was Snape Harry was in love with, because she did not believed anyone else could take care of him the way Snape could. Snape later on in private thanked Molly profusely for her support, saying that her disapproval would have crushed the four. To this Molly simply replied, “I love all my children.” Of course all the rest of the school with the exception of Blaise, Neville, Luna and Ginny were against them, and between the eight of them at least two were in the hospital a day for a week before the attacks stopped.

Fudge came a week later on a rainy Tuesday, they were all tired, Luna, Neville, Ginny, Ron and Hermione because Hermione and Ron couldn’t sleep now that Draco was having nightmares about his father and Voldemort again and Blaise because he shared a room with Harry and Draco and between the screaming and sobs he could not get any sleep. Severus was exhausted, having to hold Harry and Draco who screamed for Ron and Hermione all night. Severus only made it through because of the help of Remus and Sirius.

Tired the eight sat together at a separate table eating and trying to stay awake. Draco was in the middle of Hermione and Ron being held by the former and holding the latter. Harry was leaning on Luna, not eating, making eyes constantly on Snape. Ginny held them both stroking Harry’s hair and Blaise was holding Neville, who looked worried. Severus sat at the head table with Remus and Sirius, three pairs of eyes all glued on the eight important children in their lives.

Halfway through breakfast Fudge came bursting through the doors and the entire hall went silent. “Albus,” he began, “Had to come, terrible business this is, I’ve been receiving howlers all week about Mr. Potter and Snape, I had to come you understand.” Dumbledore smiled and said simply, “Of course come Cornelius, Harry, Severus, Sirius, Remus to my office if you please.” Harry gave his friends a wan smile before following the Headmaster back to his office. Once everyone was settle Dumbledore asked, “Tea anyone?” Everyone shook their head no and Fudge began again, “Albus this can not continue. Whatever these two have going on has to stop.” Looking at Harry curled in Snape’s arms, Fudge glared.

“Actually, Cornelius, there are no laws against this. Harry is of age in both worlds, and since he does not take potions and has been discreet I see no reason for them to stop seeing each other.” Fudge looked at Dumbledore and frowned saying, “Regardless, this has to stop. It’s upsetting the entire school. The parents want Snape fired, and I see no reason not to comply with their wishes.”

With that said Fudge smirked and it dropped when he heard a low growl, “Then I’ll quit school and stay in Severus’s chambers Minster” Everyone in the room gasped as they felt energy slowly collecting in Harry, “Harry…” Sirius began, but Harry cut in, “No, if they have a problem with my PRIVATE LIFE, then I’ll simply disappear. Fuck them and fuck you Minister. I did what no one else could do, and this is how you repay me? I saved your worthless hides. Now leave me the hell alone!” With that Harry left.

“Headmaster, Minster,” Snape sneered the last word, “If the Governors of the school ask for my resignation I will give it without a fight. This has gone on long enough; both my godson and my lover have suffered more than enough over the last eight years of their life thanks to the wizarding world. If they don’t stop I will make sure Harry disappears and never returns. Good day Headmaster, Sirius, Remus.” Snape left going to the one of the only places he knew his lover would be.

Harry sobbed on Draco’s shoulder after he told his friends what had happened at the meeting. “It’s awful, oh gods why did this have to happen now? Why? Don’t I deserve to be happy? Severus is going to leave me I know he will. Oh Merlin, what am I going to do when he leaves me?” His grief had all the girls in tears and Draco clinging to him.

They heard the growl and realized that Snape was in the room, “Harry stop,” he whispered harshly as he pulled his young lover onto his lap, “I’m not leaving you ever. Yes, this is very tedious, but we knew it would be this way when word got out about us. I know it hurts, love, but you have to be strong. They cannot take you away from me; they cannot. You need to stay calm; it will be alright, I promise.” But Harry merely continued to sob until finally he fell asleep. With a sigh Snape motioned for them all to follow him.

Once in his chambers he placed Harry on the couch and with a kiss to his lips he said, “I expect my chambers to be as they are when I return. You may all come here as long as Harry is here. Do not go into my bedroom except to put Harry there. You have class in half an hour; I’ll send breakfast down to you, try and eat something. Oh and Blaise, Draco I need to speak with you both after potions class.” And with a flutter of his robes he left.

Days flew by and before anyone knew it, it was the day of the talent show. The school had become relatively calm, no one openly attacked the eight and to be safe they were never without each other. They took to studying in Snape’s living room; they joked, talked, and just laid with their loved ones in peace in that room. It became their haven. The howlers stopped coming the day before when the Minister of Magic made a formal announcement that there was nothing wrong with the relationship between Harry and Snape. The Minister had made his announcement only after Harry had sent both him and Rita Skeeter a howler about the article, and had then told her that he would do an interview so she could get her facts straight.

The interview had happened three days after the Minister had come to Hogwarts, and it had said that Harry was quite happy with Snape, that Snape had never done anything until he was legal at the age of 17, that he was still a virgin, and that the world should stay out of his business. He had done what they could not and the least they could do in return was stay the hell out of his life, they had fucked it up enough, and that because of what they had done, it would take years for him to properly heal. His life was his, not theirs, and if anyone even thought of hurting Snape, Hermione, Draco, or Ron he would personally hunt them down, and they would suffer the same fate as Voldemort.

Blaise, Draco, Sirius, Severus, and Remus were rarely seen the week before the talent show. They were preparing a surprise for their loved ones. They had been practicing for hours on end ever since the Minister’s visit and it was finally ready. The day passed by quickly, and by dinner everyone was buzzing with suppressed energy. After dinner the five disappeared once again, and Harry, Hermione, Luna, Ron, Neville, and Ginny were all seated front row saving seats for Blaise and Draco, who never showed up.

The show began without the others and they were all worried but watched as the acts. Dancers, skits, piano pieces and all went on. Everyone cheered, it was a great time. Glancing around every now and then Harry realized that students from his year had come, all the Weasley’s were there, hell even Rita Skeeter was, and Harry thought bitterly, ‘Wonder how she’ll make this into some sordid ordeal. Where are Blaise and Draco? I’ve barley seen them this week and they are not here where, could they be?”

His question was answered seconds later when Dumbledore came on stage and said, “Our final act is a five man band performing five love songs. These men have courageously battle slander against there family and have decided to show their lovers just how much they truly love them so for the finale I present to you, Dark Heart.” The curtain came up and there was Snape with a microphone head piece and a guitar in his hand front stage. He looked amazing and the entire school was drooling. Gone were the long bellowing robes, and in there place were dark black leather pants that had ringlets cut out all the way down his pale thighs, on his chest was a white silk shirt, and a black leather trench coat; he looked amazing.

To his left was a synthesizer where Draco sat looking absolutely spicy in his black shorts showing off his beautiful thighs. His shirt was a black short shirt that stopped after his nipples and he had on a blood red trench coat. Behind Draco and between Snape and him was Blaise looking decked out in dark blue jeans and a silver tank top. On Snape’s right Sirius and Remus were both dressed in dark charcoal pants that should off their firm posterior and white button down shirts; they looked elegant yet sexy, Sirius held a violin in his hand and Remus had a cello.

“The first song we will sing is called No Matter what.” With that said Severus nodded at the four on stage.

Draco began to play the synthesizer and looking at Hermione and Ron he began sang:

Chica cha ha ha, Chica cha ha ha, Chica cha ha ha, Chica cha ha ha, Chica cha ha ha, Chica cha ha ha

No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do

No matter what they teach us
what we believe is true

He then went down into the audience and pulled Hermione and Ron on to the stage.

Then Snape sang as he stared into Harry’s eyes

No matter what they call us

However they attack

Half way through Snape waved his hand and Harry floated on stage next to him
No matter where they take us
we’ll find our own way back
Remus and Sirius began to sing together as they smiled,

I can\'t deny what I believe
I can\'t be what I\'m not
(I\'ll know I’ll love) Draco, Snape, and Blaise all sang this as Remus and Sirius sang

I\'ll know I’ll love forever
(I know) Draco, and the others once again chimed in.

I know no matter what

Blaise then began to belt out the next verse to a smiling Neville, who walked on the stage

If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered (hear my prayers) the other sang sadly
Then we would hear God say

Draco once again began sing to his lovers with all his heart

No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach you
what you believe is true

Draco and Snape began together

And I will keep you safe and strong
(And sheltered) and sheltered from the storm
(No matter where) no matter where it\'s barren
(A dream) a dream is being born

Snape sang holding Harry tightly:

No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I\'ll be everyone you need

They all sang the rest together

No matter if the sun don\'t shine
(The sun don\'t shine) or if the skies are blue
(Skies are blue)
(No matter what) no matter what the ending
(My life) my life began with you

I can\'t deny what I believe
(What I believe) I can\'t be what I\'m not
(I know, I know) I know this love\'s forever
That\'s all that matters now
No matter what
That\'s all that matters to me

At the end of the first song, the crowd was speechless. Harry was bawling and Hermione and Ron were burying Draco in kisses, Neville had Blaise in a hug and Sirius and Remus were smiling blissfully at each other. Blaise came out from behind the drums and said, “The next song is dedicated to my boyfriend, whom I love very much. It’s called Everyday I Love You, Neville baby this is for you.” Neville gasped and then began to cry as he watched Blaise enchant his drums to play on their own as he began to sing

I don\'t know, but I believe
That some things
Are meant to be
And that you
Make a better me
Every day I love you

I never thought
that dreams came true Ohhh... The others sang
But you\'ve shown me
that they do
you know
that I\'ve learnt something new

Every day I love you

They all sang together:

\'cos I believe
That destiny
Is out of our control (Don\'t you know that) they sang softly
And you\'ll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul

Blaise continued to sing swaying with Neville:

It\'s a touch when I feel bad
It\'s a smile when I get mad
All the little things I have
Every day I love you
Uh, uh
Every day I love you more
Every day I love you

Once again the five began:

\'cos I believe
That destiny
Is out of our control (Don\'t you know that)
And you\'ll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul

Blaise sang the last two verses on his own showing his love for Neville in every note
If I asked would you say yes
Together we\'re the very best
I know that I\'m truly blessed
Every day I love you

And I\'ll give you my best
Every day I love you

When it was over the crowd cheered happily. Blaise kissed a crying Neville who had never though he would have such a caring lover. “I love you so much.” Neville whispered to Blaise. Blaise smiled before kissing his lover breathless. Draco took the microphone and said, “This next song is dedicated to three special couples and all the people who have been strong and supportive in the past two weeks. Remus, Sirius, Luna, Ginny, Neville, Blaise, Dumbledore, Weasley, clan this song is for you guys, thank you for being their for us, you’re the best friends anyone could ask for. This is Ben.”

Draco began to play the synthesizer while singing:

Ohhh….

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I\'ll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You\'ve got a friend in me (You\'ve got a friend in me) the others chimed in
Ben, you\'re always running here and there (here and there) the others said
You feel you\'re not wanted anywhere (anywhere) the others sang

Blaise then began

If you ever look behind
and don\'t like what you find
There\'s one thing you should know
You’ve got a place to go (You’ve got a place to go) they sang together

Severus sang

I used to say \"I\" and \"Me\"
Now it\'s \"Us: Now it\'s \"We\"

Severus, Blaise and Draco sang smiling:
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don\'t listen to a word they say
they don\'t see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I\'m sure they\'d think again
If they had a friend like Ben... (A friend) they sang
Like Ben (Like Ben) the others sang

Like Ben

There was nothing but applause and even Rita looked as though she had enjoyed the song. Draco took the microphone again and said “The next song is for my two lovers, I love you both and I know these last few weeks have been hectic, thank you for being there for me, I love you both so much, there’s no possible way to truly explain it. So this is for. It’s called Words”

Draco began to serenade his two lovers in his low soothing voice

Smile an ever lasting smile
a smile can bring you near to me
don’t ever let me find you gone
\'Cause that would bring a tear to me

Together they all sang:
This world has lost its glory
Let\'s start a brand new story
Now my love
You think that I don\'t even mean
A single word I say
It\'s only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

Draco began once again
Talk in ever lasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I\'m here if you should call to me
You think that I don\'t even mean
A single word I say
It\'s only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

Together again they sang in harmony
It\'s only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da

This world has lost its glory
Let\'s start a brand new story
Now my love
You think that I don\'t even mean
A single word I say
It\'s only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
It\'s only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

Draco sang the last part staring deep into their eyes
it’s only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away

The audience went wild and Draco merely smirked as his lovers attacked him with caresses. “This last song, “ Severus said, “Is dedicated to my lover Harry Potter, I love you and I don’t care what crap Rita Skeeter writes, you belong to me, and I will not let you go until you tell me to, so… Harry Potter… Will you marry me?” Severus got down on one knee and pulled out a box with held a beautiful ring. Set on white gold, it had diamonds, emeralds, and obsidian stones twirling around in a snake pattern. Harry hardly noticed the tears that poured down his face as he said, “Yes, of course I’ll marry you Severus, I love you and I don’t care who knows it, you complete me, oh Merlin yes, yes, yes, yes!”

Severus smiled and began to sing swaying with Harry.

I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And held the earth
You gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high
Upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me

All together they sang staring at their loved ones
I can\'t believe it\'s you
I can\'t believe it\'s you
I needed you

And you were there
And I\'ll never leave, why should I leave?
I needed you
I finally found someone who really cares
(You needed me)

Severus sang out with joy sparkling in his eyes
You held my hand
It was cold
And I was lost
You took me home
You gave me love
That I was at the end
I turned my life
Back into truth again
You even called me \'friend\'

You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high
Upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me

You needed me
You needed me
Oh, yes, you needed me
You needed me

The audience was in absolute awe, and with a smirk Snape said, “Thank you ladies and gentle, now to your rooms, it’s past your bedtime.” The curtain closed and Harry launched himself at Severus, “I love you so much, thank you. You just made me the happiest man in the world, take me to bed Severus and make love to me now!” Severus smirked, and picked Harry up more than happy to oblige. Sirius looked peeved at that exclamation but his own lovers’ body on his set his mind on other topics like fulfilling what his lover wanted right then and there.

Draco smiled as he felt Hermione hug him tightly and Ron say, “You are amazing and we love you so much.” Hermione nodded and said, “Ours always ours, no one else’s, Draco promise us, we can’t live with out you.” And with that said they both got down on one knee and showed Draco the rings they had bought with their families. Draco felt his world spin and breathlessly he said, “Yes, oh goodness yes, I love you both so much, till death do us part.” Hermione squealed in absolute delight and Ron grinned all over the place.

And so the world went on, Harry and Severus continued to be together much to the chagrin of the wizarding world, Hermione, Ron, and Draco were bonded that Christmas, Neville and Blaise, as well as Ginny and Luna all continued to date there partners and Remus and Sirius were bonded two months after the Granger-Weasley-Malfoy’s. They knew that the article that Rita Skeeter wrote had bound them in a way that could never be undone, and though it hurt, it also felt good, because they realized that they all would be together no matter what.
