"Hagrid? Hagrid!" Harry called, racing down the hill towards the hut on the fringe of the Forbidden Forest.
"Harry!" Hagrid beamed as Harry skidded down the last bit of the hill and came to a stop in front of him, "What brings you here so early in the morning?" Then the half-giant bent down and looked at Harry closely. "I think you have not been in bed! Look at you! You're a mess."
"True, I didn't make it to the dorms."
"Harry!" his friend was appalled, "were you with that Chang girl?"
"Who?"
"The girl who, just yesterday, you were crying over saying that your heart was broken, that you'll love her till the end-"
"Oh her… no of course not. I gave up and I am as free as a bird."
"Good lad, good lad. So where have you been?"
"I went," and Harry paused for dramatic effect, "to the Slytherin's party last night!"
Hagrid gasped but Harry pushed on. "I originally went there with the purpose of seeing Cho but… I forgot her the minute I saw another."
"What are you babbling on about?"
"I have met my soul mate, the love of my life. It's Draco Malfoy, the heir of Slytherin!"
Hagrid nearly collapsed. "Are you barking mad? Have you finally lost it? Did you drink anything last night? Quick, tell me, what's your name? You may have amnesia or something."
Harry laughed, "My head is fine, my name is Harry James Potter, just to make you happy, and I remember last night as clear as anything. And what a night- we danced, we kissed, we vowed to love each other forever… And now comes to the point of my visit. I need your help. I love Draco and he loves me… so we want to be married this afternoon."
Hagrid really did collapse this time and had to be brought around by Harry slapping his face. "Married?" he muttered weakly.
"Yes and I am going to ask Remus to perform it. However, I need you to let him inside the gates. Please Hagrid."
"But-"
"Hagrid, I love him."
"He's a guy-"
"Does that matter?"
Hagrid looked deep into the young man's eyes and saw only love and hope. "I guess not. Go and send for Remus. I'll tell him to meet you in the Room of Requirement about three this afternoon when he arrives."
"Thank you!" whispered the teenager, giving his friend a hug before running off. Hagrid sighed as Harry ran up the hill in leaps and bounds, happiness showing in every movement. "He looks so happy… but how long will it last?" he thought as he strode off towards the main gates.
