A/N: Here it is, an epilogue. Mostly because even when I write endings (as I attempted to in my last chapter) I leave all these loose ends hanging around. Like Luna, and Harry, and Will, and Ron….So this chapter is more for them. Just so you know.

It wasn't as if the four of them- that is, Blaise, Hannah, Draco, and Hermione- announced to the school that they were, respectively, officially couples, but the word got around fast and there were numerous copies of the note they'd left on the Slytherin bulletin board that circulated around the school.

"Now don't you wish you'd thought your response through?" Hermione asked Hannah in a reprimanding way as they walked through the halls.

Hannah rolled her eyes. "You don't have to act like my mother, you know. I can get by."

Hermione gave her a look, but found herself smiling all the same. "I don't suppose the Slytherins mentioned that this note was left on their bulletin board?"

"No, I think that if they'd done that the entire Slytherin reputation would just go down the drain."

"What, you mean more so than it has from a Slytherin dating a Gryffindor and another Slytherin dating a Hufflepuff?"

"Which one do you think they think is worse?"

Hermione raised her eyebrows at Hannah. "Can I have a map to that sentence?"

Just then Ron came barreling down the hall and skidded to a halt in front of the two girls. "WHAT?" He screamed, sounding oddly high-pitched for the tough young man that he was.

Hannah looked at her friend. "Where did he come from?"

"Something about reviewers and a serious lack of Ron-ness…." Hermione muttered as she stared at her red-headed friend.

"YOU!" Ron said, pointing to Hermione. "YOU!" Ron screeched once again, this time pointing at Hannah. "ACK!" And with that, he ran off again.

"Hmmm," Blaise began from behind them. "The Ron-ness is strong in that one."

Malfoy rolled his eyes while Hannah burst into laughter. Hermione was still staring down the hall that Ron had run off into.

"Hermione!" Harry called as he ran up to her. "I have something to tell you. And Hannah. Without them."

Hermione looked back at the two boys and made a flippant 'shoo' sort of gesture with her hand. Both boys backed away obligingly.

"Yes?" Hermione said, turning to Harry.

"I'm gay," Harry stated.

"Really?" Hannah asked, only look half disbelieving.

"Yes?" Hermione asked, clearly not shaken by that information at all.

"YOU'RE WHAT?" Ron asked, suddenly appearing once again.

"Ron, we've been over this- he's gay. Now please-" Hermione said, and repeated her flippant hand gesture. Ron skidded away once again.

"This is what I needed Hannah for- I'm dating Will," Harry said. He waited anxiously for their reactions. Hannah looked like she was trying not to laugh, but as soon as both Malfoy and Blaise did behind, she burst out laughing.

Hermione looked at her friend. "That's wonderful Harry. I'm sure you'll be very happy together."

Harry grinned at her and walked off in the other direction.

"I can't believe I didn't see that coming!" Malfoy said through his laughter. Both Hannah and Blaise were laughing too hard to respond at all, and Hermione sent them all very reprimanding looks.

Luna Lovegood sat in a small alcove, watching the events unfold. It was rather curious to her that a Slytherins, any Slytherins, would dare to branch away from their own house. Not that she hadn't seen the chemistry between Hermione and Draco and Blaise and Hannah long before others had, just that she hadn't been sure that they would 'take the plunge,' as it were.

As for Harry Potter- well, she wasn't surprised that he was gay. She wasn't surprised that he hadn't felt romantic feelings towards a certain Seamus, but she was mildly (only mildly,) that Will had turned out to be gay.

"Hello Luna," Hermione said, waving a hand in front of the other girl's face and breaking her out of her reverie.

"WHAT?" Ron said, skidding in front of them once again. "SHE'S LUNA LOVEGOOD?"

"OK, now you're just being ridiculous," Hermione said, trying to regain some form of normality. But her three friends were already in complete hysterics and Luna had gone back to thinking deep thoughts.

Hermione gave up.

I'd like to say that Malfoy dating Hermione and Blaise dating Hannah caused a revolution at Hogwarts, in which dating between Slytherins and other houses wasn't so unheard of, but it's not true. The Slytherins continued to be evil and kept to themselves in terms of dating. Fortunately, Blaise and Malfoy were not shunned by their house-mates, nor were Hannah and Hermione.

Well, actually, that had never really been a worry- Blaise and Malfoy didn't care and Hannah and Hermione were regarded as heroines for being able to snag two of the hottest guys on the list of Hogwart's Hottest Guys.

So, in the end, the four of them walked off into the sunset. Well, no, that's not true, they walked off into the Great Hall to cause an uproar and sit with each other, but you get the idea.

A/N:Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it, and Happy Holidays for those who celebrate something else. Hope you enjoyed this chapter- don't forget to drop me a review,all wrapped up pretty, and I'll give you some of my Christmas baking.
