A/N: So, I am finally updating. I'm really sorry for the long wait. I got home from holiday on Friday and couldn't get back into my normal routine but now I am back and I have returned with an update!

Recap of chapter 11:

"Do you remember what happened last night?" she asked him, afraid of what he would say.

"No. I don't remember anything except playing exploding snap."

They stood there quietly, thinking about what could have happened while they were under the effects of the potion.

"Oh no," Hermione moaned. "You don't think they used a love potion with moonstone do you?"

Malfoy snorted. "I'm sure they did, seeing as how nearly all love potions contain moonstone."

"What I meant to say was you don't think they used a potion with moonstone and holly

do you? Because that would mean that some of the effects would not wear off."

Malfoy's eyes opened wide.

"I'm going to kill those twins."

Chapter 12: The Result of Everything

"Draco, you need to calm down."

"No way! They shouldn't have done that."

"But killing them isn't going to solve anything!"

"Yes it will. It will stop them from doing something like this again."

"But would it really be so bad if the effects were permanent?" Hermione whispered softly.

Malfoy pretended not to hear her and continued to walk down the corridors, searching for the Potter twins.

"Malfoy wait! I have a brilliant idea!"

That night, Draco and Hermione walked down to the Great Hall for dinner hand in hand. Seeing Ollie and Violet, Hermione led Draco over to where they were sitting.

"Hi you two! We haven't seen either of you all day!"

"Er, hi Draco, Mione," Ollie said, giving Violet a strange look.

"So, how was the Halloween ball? We looked for you two but couldn't find you anywhere," said Violet with a glint in her eyes.

"Well, we went but we decided we would rather be alone so we went up to the Astronomy Tower. We talked for a while, among other things, and it was just great," said Hermione, smiling lovingly at Draco.

"And while we were up there, we made a very important decision that we think the two of you should be the first to know," said Draco, who gave Hermione's hand an affectionate squeeze.

"We have decided to get married as soon as we return home."

The twins looked at each other, their mouths hanging open in shock.

"You- you have to be joking."

Draco frowned. "We aren't joking at all. We decided that life is too short to waste on arguing and that we should do whatever will make us happy right away. Oh, and once we have children, we have decided to name them after the two of you. You guys really are the best friends we could ask for and we always want to remember you both."

Ollie and Violet were speechless. How could one little potion change two people so drastically?

"Now, even though we will be home for the wedding which means you two won't be able to attend, we want you to both help us with all the arrangements. Now, I was thinking of having the wedding here at Hogwarts but Draco wants something a little more-"

"Stop!" Violet exclaimed, causing several students to look up from their dinner.

"What ever is the matter Violet? Aren't you happy for us?"

"We would be happy for you two but we have something to confess."

"What could possibly stop you two from being happy for us?"

"Well, you see, we sort of slipped you two a love potion before the dance," said Ollie, unable to look Draco and Hermione in the eye.

"But even if you slipped us a love potion it shouldn't matter. The effects of love potions are temporary," said Hermione, pretending to be confused.

"Yeah, well about that. We sort of added moonstone with holly."

"So you mean to tell us that you gave us a love potion that would have permanent effects?"

The twins both nodded, guilty looks on their faces as they stared at the ground.

"Well, now that that's all settled I think I would like to go work on my charms homework," Hermione said, standing to leave the Great Hall.

"That sounds like a brilliant idea."

Draco and Hermione left the Great Hall, leaving the twins looking guilty and confused.

When Draco and Hermione returned to the Gryffindor common room, they both collapsed in front of the fire, laughing hysterically.

"That was brilliant! I can't believe it worked!"

"I must agree, it was a brilliant idea you had," said Malfoy, trying to stop laughing so that he could get a breath of fresh air.

"Granger, you've got something in your hair."

"Oh, what is it?" Hermione asked, raising her hand to her hair to try to get whatever was there out.

"Here, let me get it for you."

Draco raised his hand to her hair and easily disentangled a piece of lint that had gotten caught in it. As he did so, he caught the scent of her hair. Without meaning to do so, he noted to himself that her hair smelt good, like cinnamon.

"Did you get it?" Hermione asked, her voice sounding squeaky.

"Yeah," Draco said, clearing his throat. "It was just a piece of lint."

"Oh. Well thanks for helping me get it out."

Draco nodded, feeling uncharacteristically shy.

They sat there like that for what felt like a lifetime before Draco jumped up.

"I forgot! I have to work on that Charms essay and I haven't even started it yet!" and with that, he bolted from the room and up to his dormitory, leaving Hermione alone and confused.

Draco ran up to his dormitory and slammed the door shut behind him.

What had just happened there? He couldn't possibly be falling for Granger could he? Sure, she had grown much more attractive since they had started at Hogwarts and she had a scent that seemed to make him want to kiss her but she was a Mudblood! She was everything his father had taught him to hate. But his father wasn't here was he? And there was no telling when they would be sent back home. And it's not like they completely hated each other any more right? And when he saw a glimpse of the future, it did show the two of them together. Maybe he should just go for it…

Meanwhile, back to the Potter twins…

"I told you we shouldn't have used a love potion with moonstone and holly!" Ollie yelled at his sister.

"Well you wanted to see them together as much as I did! What's the big deal if they want to get married?"

"What's the big deal? They are only 17 years old!"

"So what? They are legal and once they leave Hogwarts they can do whatever they want!"

"But Violet, don't you understand? They wont be doing what they want. They will be doing what the love potion make them think they want!"

"Well I think it's all good idea. And they didn't seem to mind after we told them that the effects would be permanent."

"Why did you have to go and mess with them anyway? They would have fallen for each other eventually."

"Don't you go blaming this all on me. You wanted this as much as I did."

"Yes, I wanted them to get together but I didn't want them to rush into things because of a silly little potion!"

"Well, it doesn't matter anymore. The effects are permanent and there is nothing any of us can do about it," Violet said walking away from her brother.

"Not if I can help it," Ollie said to himself. "I'm going to do everything I can to stop the two of them from doing something stupid," and with that, Ollie went to find the only person who could help him do that.

A/N: Oh! Can you guess whats going to happen? Can you tell who Ollie is going to get help from? Anywaythis chapter only took me about 15minutes to write (but you can probably tell because its really bad) so it isnt that great but the good stuff is coming so hang tight :-)

Oh, and that one-shot is starting to turn into a story so it will be posted eventually lol
