***start***

Parvati came running down the hall to the Gryffindor Common Room. She had the pictures developed, and she needed Lavender to see them. Then suddenly, she bumped into someone.

"Oh, sorry Miss Patil." Came Professor McGonagall's voice. Parvati dropped the envelope, revealing the incident between Harry and Hermione together a while ago.

"Sorry, Professor." Parvati apologized. But McGonagall wasn't listening. She was looking at the pictures. 'Oh my gosh.'

"Miss Patil, where did you get those?" McGonagall asked, smiling.

"Umm.er.I."

"Don't worry Miss Patil. I won't be mad at you." McGonagall said.

"Umm.. You see Professor, Ron caught that a while ago in the Gryffindor Snowball Fight." Parvati answered.

"I see.. Sir Nicholas, if you please." She said, turning to the wall. Nick came gliding through the wall, picking up the pictures.

"Glad that I may be of service. Goodbye."

"Thank you, Sir Nicholas. Now Miss Patil, I would like to talk to you later after dinner at my office." Professor McGonagall said as she walked away, leaving Parvati clueless.

***Gryffindor Common Room.***

"And she even smiled." Parvati finished explaining what just happened. Lavender was listening intently.

"Wow.can I come with you tonight?" Lavender asked.

"I don't know."

"Well, why don't we tell Ron?"

"No! What if he tells Harry or Herm?" Parvati defended.

"Well, it's up to you." Lavender sighed as they went out of the Common Room and into the Great Hall.

***Great Hall***

They passed Viktor Krum who was looking sulky as ever. His friends were speaking to him in rapid Bulgarian, probably encouraging him.

Neville, Dean and Seamus were already at the Gryffindor Table. They were eating quite peacefully until Neville put his spoon in his soup and a very noisy wizard cracker exploded in front of him. They laughed very hard.

They finished eating dinner and went to Professor McGonagall's office. After some time, Professor McGonagall came striding towards them.

"Good evening, Miss Patil. I expected you'd come too, Miss Brown. Follow me." Professor McGonagall said. They followed her into her office and sat on the two chairs in either side of her table.

"Well, I clearly see you are trying to fix Miss Granger and Mr. Potter up. I and.um.Professor Dumbledore are.er.doing the same. We want to consult your help since you know them better than us."

Lavender and Parvati was shocked. Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore, play matchmaker?

"Okay!! We'll be happy to help!" Parvati shrieked.

"Um.okay." Lavender said.

"And Miss Patil, Miss Brown, this conversation, never happened." McGonagall added.

"Right."

***The next day.***

Lavender and Paravti quickly turned into Colin when they went crazy, clicking anytime they saw Hermione or Harry or Harry and Hermione together. Meanwhile, Professor McGonagall kept working silently while she let the class play (which is never possible in the book). She kept glancing at Hermione and Harry whom were busy chatting with each other and Ron, too busy blushing because of Lavender. Anyway, holidays were just a week away.

Lavender and Parvati had a charm on themselves to hear people's conversation. And they used this charm to eavesdrop on Harry and Hermione's conversation, then writing it down and sending them to the scheming Professors.

Every teacher in Hogwarts who was teaching Harry or Hermione can be seen observing them. They wrote what they saw on rolls of parchment, and then would give it to either Professor McGonagall or Professor Dumbledore. Then they would read these reports and make them into a fully plotted and schemed plan, therefore consulting Parvati and Lavender. Nearly Headless Nick made reports too, when they are in the common room.

***

Professor Flitwick, on day, glanced and saw scripted H's and Harry's in Hermione's book. He glanced over at Harry's book and saw scripted H's too, but only Hermione's. Professor Flitwick grinned and hurried to his desk.

Professor Trelawney was still blue, still frozen. Professor McGonagall decided that she would rather freeze Trelawney than listen to her 'predictions'.

Professor Binns still droned about whatever he wants to drone on. Snape still loathes Harry, but was writing things like 'He should get expelled' and 'He's stupid, just like his father' on his observation paper. Professor Sprout was teaching them about ingredients or magical plants needed to make a love potion. And, she was observing the two.

*

Harry and Hermione felt a tad bit weird, like the whole school was watching whatever they did. Ron was very inattentive just because Lavender's there.

*

Draco however, remained silent. Weird, isn't it? Well, Dumbledore spoke to him (and you don't have to know what he said.).

Professor Dumbledore paced his office, waiting for their reports about Harry and Hermione. He could remember it just like it was yesterday because it just happened yesterday.

***flashback***

"Headmaster, why did you call us here for?" Snape said. They were having an emergency meeting in the staff room.

"Yes, yes.well, me and Professor McGonagall held an important meeting-"

"For the sake of matchmaking." Professor McGonagall ended Professor Dumbeldore's sentence.

"Matchmaking? Who are we going to make the match?" Professor Flitwick squeaked out.

"Um.Snape, I think you wouldn't like this. Mr. Potter and Ms. Granger." McGonagall said.

The teachers said what they have to say.

"Potter and Granger?"

"That would be nice!"

"Exceptionally perfect!"

"I should say, very important!"

"What are we going to do?"

"Use charms!"

"No, plants!!"

"No, no, no. Love potions, more like it. Snape, can we trust you on that?" Dumbledore said.

"No." Snape said flatly.

"Yes. Love must not be tempered with potions." McGonagall sighed.

"What should we do?"

"What about ask Vladimir then?"

"Vladimir Karkaroff? Well, I think we can manage." Dumbledore said, writing the information down.

"Yes, yes. Well, hand me the paper, Albus. I'll be the one to write it down.." McGonagall said, writing the suggestions on the scroll of parchment.

***end***

It's like one tough job, even if it wasn't in the job description. Albus Dumbledore smiled as he peered into his orb, now showing the three, Ron, Hermione, and Harry, laughing on their way to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

A fire was lit up in Dumbledore's head. Lupin! Remus Lupin, who was back teaching at Hogwarts, can tell him what he should do! Remus was around when he and Minerva McGonagall match Lily and James up. Maybe he could tell them.

Author's notes: Sorry if it's a bit short or boring. I was a bit sleepy when I started it but I promise, the H/Hr Romance will come to life in the later chapters. Meanwhile, can you guys give me ideas? I don't have any right now. (Don't even think of any disgusting ideas or killing someone here!) I'll try my best not to have writer's block at this moment.
