PERFECT UNIVERSE:

Auror H. J. Potter sprinted up the steps of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in a blind panic. He had received orders from head auror Kingsley Shacklebolt to investigate a disturbance at Hogwarts involving Draco Malfoy and his parents, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy and if the reports were correct quite a few Weasley's. Harry groaned to himself, it was going to be one of "those" days.

Sometimes Harry Potter just really hated the whole universe.

He and Draco had been aurors for three years now and they had been together for a little over two. He couldn't imagine what could possibly be going on. True, the Malfoy's and the Weasley's had been enemies for years but everyone had seemed to be getting along so well lately and they all seemed to have accepted he and Draco being together.

Not stopping to speak to anyone Harry barreled into the great hall.

It was true, they all were there and from the looks of it the battle lines had been drawn, the Weasley's standing with Hermione and Dumbledore and Mcgonagall looking surly on one side, while directly across from them stood a scowling Lucius Malfoy, his wife Narcissa and Severus Snape. Harry glanced around but he didn't see Draco anywhere.

What the hell was going on?

Ignoring everyone else in the room Harry rushed to the front to intervene between the two warring factions. Stopping in front of Dumbledore Harry said quietly, "Albus, what in the world is going on here?"

"Going on?" Dumbledore boomed, "Why, its all their fault!" he said pointing at the two Malfoy's , "Them and that brat son of theirs!"

Harry stared at the headmaster in horror, this was NOT good.

Before he could even say anything to try to control the damage Lucius Malfoy spoke up. "All our fault is it?" he snarled, looking down his nose at Harry, " Ill have you know that my son NEVER did anything like this before he started being involved with "certain" big headed boy wonders!"

Harry recoiled in shock. Lucius had been so agreeable lately, he could not believe his ears.

Molly Weasley crossed her arms over her chest and stuck out her chin. 'Harry is a good boy, its not his fault that Draco did this."

Narcissa Malfoy sneered at her. "My Draco would never have even considered any of this if it wasn't for him!"

She pointed accusingly at Harry.

Harry felt his head spin, what in the world had Draco done? He opened his mouth to ask but before he could get a word out there was a loud "CRACK" and there stood Kingsley Shacklebolt and what looked like every auror in the ministry.

"We're here for Draco Malfoy." he growled.

Harry gaped at him. This couldn't be happening, Draco was an auror!

Severus Snape stepped forward, "We're here for Draco too!"

Harry's head swiveled back and forth between the two men. "Whuh?"

"Yeah!" somebody yelled from the tables that Harry had ignored until now. " Were here because of Malfoy too!"

Harry's mouth fell open as he finally realized that almost his whole graduating class (Gryffindor and Slytherin) sat at the first table.

What the fuck?

Hermione stepped up to the stunned auror, "'I'm afraid its true Harry, it really was all Draco."

Harry goggled, it looked like everyone he and Draco had ever known was here.

Shacklebolt spoke up, "Well then, since we're all agreed that this was all Malfoy's doing I think its time he answered for it."

"Yep," Ron Weasley said gleefully, "He's guilty alright!"

Harry stared at his boss and his best friend in disbelief and then suddenly he had his wand in his hand and it was pointing straight at the other aurors. He had no idea what Draco had done, all he knew was that no one, NO ONE! was going to take Draco away from him and he didn't care if he had to hex everyone either of them had ever met to prevent that from happening.

Harry opened his mouth to tell all of them just that but before he could utter a sound he heard a soft voice behind him say, "They're right you know Harry."

Harry whirled around to find his sheepish looking boyfriend standing behind him.

"Right about what? Draco what have you done?" he sputtered.

"Well,' Draco grinned, "its not so much what I've done as it is what I'm GOING to do."

Harry had never felt so confused in his life.

"Going to?" o_0 "whuh?"

Draco reached out and took one of Harry's hands in his.

"Lower your wand Harry." he murmured.

Reluctantly and still keeping one eye on the aurors Harry slowly lowered his wand.

"Explain yourself NOW Malfoy!" he hissed.

Draco had the nerve, the unmitigated gall to smile at him.

"Well Harry, its just that…. Well, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and I've come to some conclusions."

Harry was staring at him like he was a mental patient.

"Whuh?"

Draco grinned even wider.

"You see Harry, I realized that most of the things I've ever considered important really weren't and most of the things I thought I couldn't live without really dont matter to me."

Draco stared into his eyes and there was so much love there that Harry swore he could feel his bones melting.

"You are the only thing I cant live without Harry."

Harry's jaw dropped as Draco dropped to one knee before him.

"Harry James Potter…. Will you marry me?"

"Whuh?" 0_0

Draco smiled at him with tears in his eyes.

"Marry me Harry."

Harry vaguely noticed that Molly Weasley and Narcissa Malfoy were weeping all over each other and Lucius Malfoy had Arthur Weasley in a bear hug and Severus Snape was actually grinning and Dumbledore was twinkling so wildly it was a wonder he didn't blind them all and Ron and Hermione were both smiling and nodding at him and everyone in the great hall was sitting on the edge of their seats.

He was only dimly aware of any of it though because he could barely see through the tears streaming down his face.

He dropped to his knees so he was level with Draco and flung himself into the blonds waiting arms screaming "YES! YES! YES!" as the great hall erupted in thunderous applause.

Later that night he lay in Draco's arms exhausted from the drama of the day and a rousing bout of absolutely brilliant sex. He nuzzled the tender skin on his fiancée's (grin from ear to ear) neck.

"Awfully sure of yourself asking me in front of everybody weren't you Malfoy?"

Draco hugged him tightly to his chest.

"No Harry," he murmured, "awfully sure of us."

Sometimes Harry Potter just really loved the whole universe.
