During dinner, Draco was anticipating but loathing the detention session with Jenine. At one point, he actually considered obliviating Melany and Jenine.

But he knew he had to get this done sooner or later. So he chose sooner.

Down the table, Jenine was blankly staring at her plate.

'What am I supposed to say?' she thought.

Melany then nudged her and said, "Come on, it's time."

"Do we really have to do this?" the other girl complained. But all she got was a glare.

"I guess we do," she muttered as the both stood up and excused themselves from the table.

Melany nodded at Draco to signal him, but he simply looked away.

"I know you saw that," Blaise said.

"You know about it?" Draco said, surprised.

"Of course I do. Everyone in the group does."

"And you support it?"

Blaise nodded and gave him a stare, which made Draco sigh and stand up to follow the other two girls.

They walked without saying a word to the classroom. When they reached the door, Melany let Jenine and Draco go in first as she cast a charm on the door.

"What's the charm for?" Jenine asked after she was done.

"It's so that you guys can have a true and sincere make up," she explained.

"And what will happen if we do?"

"It will let you guys out," she said simply as their jaws dropped.

"You mean," Draco started, gulping, "we'll be locked in here until we solve this whole thing out?"

"Exactly. Have fun!" Melany said with a smile as she walked out and closed the door.

"Just bloody brilliant," Draco muttered.

Then the room became quiet as both were deep in their thoughts.

As much as he wanted to say the first word, something was holding Draco back. He was still so angry at her for blowing him off like that. But then again, he still loved her more than anything.

Meanwhile, Jenine was also wondering whether or not she should have the first say. As much as she wanted him to commit, she also wanted things to go back the way they were before all this.

"This is stupid," she finally said.

Draco looked at her and said, "What?"

"This whole situation. It's stupid," she repeated.

"Well finally we're on the right page," he said, but she gave him a look and he mumbled a sorry.

"It's alright. I just feel really bad for forcing this all on you," she said, tears forming in her eyes.

He saw this and pulled her into a long hug.

"And I'm sorry for accusing you of ever cheating on me," she said, breaking into a sob.

"It's alright, love," he said.

She suddenly broke the hug and asked, "Can I ask you something, though?"

"Anything."

"Why are you scared?"

Draco sighed and though for a moment before saying, "It's just, well, this is the first real relationship I've ever had."

"How about Pansy?" she asked, trying not to laugh.

"Don't even go there," he said, while she burst out laughing, "As I was saying, since this is my first real relationship, I just wanted to take things easy. If not then this whole relationship might have been over in a week."

"So let me get this straight. Your other relationships were over because you decided to shag them in less than two days?" she asked, jokingly.

"I guess you can say that," he said, smiling back.

"Alright, I understand now. And again, I am really sorry,"

He again pulled her in and they locked in a kiss, the first in a long time.

After they broke, Draco said, "I don't know about you, but I really want to get out of here."

Jenine laughed and nodded before they both walked over to the door. To their relief, the door opened easily and they walked back to the tower hand in hand.

When they entered, they were shocked to see Melany, George, Blaise, and Ginny knocked out on the couches.

Draco cleared his throat loudly, which awoke the sleeping figures with a start.

Melany looked around before seeing the couple standing there laughing. She stood up fast and ran to them while saying "Hooray!" before giving them both a big hug.

"So are you guys over this problem already?" Blaise asked.

They both nodded as George snuck behind Draco and gave him a big hug.

"Was that really necessary?" Draco said gasping for breath after he let go.

"Yes, my friend, it was," George said as he hugged Jenine.

"Well that didn't take as long as I expected, though," Ginny said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jenine asked, offended.

"I mean, judging the situation and how stubborn you two are, you know," she said, turning red.

"She does have a point," Blaise said.

"Oh don't suck up to your girlfriend, Zabini," Draco said, making Blaise turn red as everyone else laughed.

"Well it's getting kind of late and there are classes tomorrow, so I think we should go to bed now," Melany said.

They all agreed and said their goodnight's before going back to their dorms.

The girls were surprised to still find everyone else awake.

"What are you guys still doing up?" Ginny asked.

"Well we were wondering what happened between my daughter and her boyfriend," Charlotte said.

"Did you guys make up yet?" Arianne asked.

"Sure did," Jenine said and all the girls smiled and gave her a big hug.

"So what happened?" Lily asked.

Jenine explained what had happened in the classroom and it left the girls in smiles at the end.

"I just have one question, though," Arianne said.

"Go for it," Jenine replied.

"Do you still want to get married?"

Jenine thought for a moment before saying, "Yes I do, but I respect his decision on taking things slow for now."

The girls nodded before getting ready for bed and turning in for the night.

Meanwhile at the boys' dorm, everyone was still wide awake.

"So after all that, you still end up with her?" Fred asked, teasingly.

"Well it wasn't that hard," Draco said, shrugging.

"So when will you actually get the guts to marry her?" James asked.

"Soon, very soon,"' the blonde replied, laying down on his bed.

"Which is translated, 'Oh in about 50 years or so,'" Sirius joked, which made everyone laugh.

On that note, they all got ready for bed, said their goodnights, and slept.
