"It seems this is the last meeting of The Two Idiots because the two finally got their shit together."

No one in the room seemed happy at Pansy's announcement. After all, Draco and Harry were both utterly miserable, and the negative attitude was wearing off on their friends. The castle itself seemed to be in a foul mood since the other day. The clouds in the Great Hall had stayed permanently cloudy and no amount of effort by the professors could reverse it.

"This isn't how I wanted it to end." Daphne blurts abruptly.

Me neither, Pansy thought. The group just wanted them to break up, not become husks of themselves once they stopped interacting. No explanation was forthcoming from either boy after last week's...incident, only the sullen line of, "We broke up." Draco had uttered it with a twisted smirk.

The two were completely ignoring one another, and it was affecting the rest of the school. Everyone was confused by the sudden fallout after the fake proposal. It seemed the whole school became out of sorts when Draco and Harry did.

Pansy clenched her fists in frustration, "I don't know where to go from here."

The five sat in silence once again, with only Ron looking ready to say something.

"Maybe…we have to get them back together. If they really do like each other, then we have to help them get over being such idiots."

"That's exactly right, ."

Hermione was the first to bolt up from her chaise lounge, followed swiftly by the others.

"Headmistress McGonagall!"

The elder witch was taking in the confusing decor of the room. She shook her head, choosing to ignore the minor thought and focusing on the bigger issue.

"Before you ask, I'm the Headmistress—it's my job to know where you guys all are. There are two reasons I'm here, and their names are Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. Both boys have ignored my letters telling them to come see me. I need the five of you to help me corral them to my office. It's time...to get them back together."

McGonagall looked resigned at the last statement, like she just sold her soul to the devil. While it was quieter without Harry and Draco's relationship, it was almost too quiet—leaving a somber air throughout the castle. That's what pushed McGonagall to find the two boys' friends to help her get them back together. The castle's happiness was more important than her continued sanity.

"Just a few more months," she whispered under her breath. And then the school would be peaceful and happy. She looked at the mixed group of Slytherins and Gryffindors with a small smile. At least some good things came out of this prank war. Friendships between houses, especially Gryffindor and Slytherin, was always something to celebrate.

"Ms Parkinson, Ms Greengrass, Mr Zabini, you three will obviously deal with Mr Malfoy. Ms Granger, Mr Weasley, you two will take Mr Potter. Have them in my office in ten minutes."

All five stayed where they are, still shocked that they were receiving help from the Headmistress. Impatience started to color the lines of McGonagall's face.

"Well, what are you all waiting for? A written invitation? Go!"

The five quickly scurried past McGonagall, leaving her alone in the large therapist office. She sucked in a deep breath, knowing that after she leaves this room she will have to deal with her first significant incident at Headmistress. What she wouldn't do for a drink right now. A bar suddenly popped into existence on her left, filled with her favorite scotch. She looked at the wsall before quickly making her way out of the room and towards her office. She was a professional; she wouldn't drink on the job. Even so, McGonagall stares at the door she just exited longingly. After she got the two idiots sorted out, she would pour herself a tall glass in victory.

It took a bit longer than ten minutes. Harry arrived mostly on time not saying a word. Draco, however, was over twenty minutes late. Excellent, a blatant lack of respect was precisely what McGonagall needed to start this conversation. Now two sullen boys sat in front of her. Minerva stared at the two boys from across her desk. Draco had his arms crossed over his chest in defiance while Harry was looking to the side guiltily. Even when they were angry with each other, they couldn't stay far apart. Without realizing it, the two had moved their chairs as close as possible to each other. Every so often their shoulders would brush and both boys would shiver. McGonagall stood up and stayed still for a moment before starting to talk and pace.

"When I agreed to be Headmistress, I knew I would witness many obstacles and conflicts throughout my time in charge. I planned for everything. Voldemort's sudden return again? Covered. A house-elf uprising? Covered. Hogwarts being magically teleported to the bottom of the ocean? Covered! But I didn't plan on one thing: you two, Draco and Harry, ending up together."

"We weren't—"

"Silence, Mr Potter," McGonagall cut in smoothly. "No matter what you two were calling it, it was a real relationship. I have two working eyes and anyone could see you two are in love. Even Mr Weasley caught on. I was a bit surprised myself, but that just shows how bloody obvious the two of you were being."

Both Harry and Draco sputtered at this. McGonagall forged onward.

"As it is, the school seems to benefit from your union, as do the two of you. To rectify the situation, I've called in some reinforcements. Draco, make your way down to Professor Snape's portrait in the dungeons—I know you're aware of its location. Harry, you stay here. You will be talking to Professor Dumbledore. You may go back to your dorms after speaking with them. I suggest both of you two stop acting like complete idiots and instead show me the competent wizards you are. Honestly, men..."

Minerva started making her way out of the office. It was time for that drink she promised herself. Maybe she could get Poppy to join her for a nightcap. She waved a hand over her shoulder.

"You can thank me later."
