The new Supreme Leader calls Hux before him and asks him what he's willing to do to gain the title of Grand Marshall. Hux is willing to do anything and says as much. Kylo asks him, "What about love?" Hux thinks he's talking about sexual favors and is about to agree when Kylo reiterates, "Would you have dinner with me?" Hux tells him he didn't need to offer him a promotion to ask him out on a date. Kylo goes red knowing he's caught. He was planning to give Hux the new title ierregardless.
Rita Skeeter was writing down the last of her thoughts on the newest Hogwarts Professor when a group of kids came walking by all chattering excitedly. It as two names that caught her ever opened ears.
“No,” One gasped. “Potter and Malfoy? Are you sure?!”
“Oh yes,” Said the second one smugly. “It’s been happening for the last year apparently!”
“Well, that explains it all,” A third one spoke with a laugh. “Who would have thought though? What would their families say?”
“They took it rather well! Didn’t you see today while the parents were visiting? They told them! I would have been shocked but it went well.”
They continued on not noticing how rapidly she was writing that her pen might have just burned through the parchment. She turned hurrying to the great hall just in time to see the people she was looking for.
“Mr. Potter! Mr. Malfoy!”
“Bugger, it’s Skeeter!” Harry looked around. “We need to get outta here!”
“Agreed,” Draco watched as Harry tried to figure out what to do before rolling his eyes before grabbing the twit’s arm. “We’re wizards, Harry!”
A pop later they were gone.

Harry had this feeling that everyone was staring at him. No, wait, he was sure they were. The second he had entered the Ministry People had turned to glare to him before whispering amongst themselves.
Frowning Harry went to his office pausing as he heard two women giving him an odd look. Closing the door he went to his desk to look at all the paperwork he had to do. Sighing he got to work when someone knocked on his door.
“Come in,”
“Hello, Harry,”
“Oh, Luna, Hello,” Harry smiled before sitting back. “How are you?”
“Good, good, so, um, I heard about what happened at Parents day at Hogwarts.”
“News travels faster than I thought,” Harry was surprised. “Does it bother you?”
“No! No, its just… is Ginny, okay with it?”
“She knew before I did,” Harry looked up in thought. “She said she suspected it in the first year.”
“From the beginning?! Why didn’t say, uh, say anything?”
“She said she knew it would happen on its own and I’m glad she did. Had I known I would have tried to figure it out from the start… might have made it worse, you know?”
“Yes. Well, congratulations, Harry. I’m glad you’re happy,” Luna smiled happily. “Well, cheers to you! Hope it all works out for you two,”
“Thanks, Luna,”

“Draco?” Pansy stepped into the office. “Is it true?”
“What’s true?”
“At Hogwarts? Everyone’s saying that-”
“I know what you’re going to say it’s true,” Draco smirked a bit. “It’s actually funny. Who would have thought? A Potter and Malfoy together.”
“Yeah, it’s a bit shocking,”
“Really?” Draco frowned, looking at her with a frown, “I thought it was obvious.”
“Wait… how long have you’ve known?!”
“Since the winter break I mean, honestly it’s all that was talked about, Potter this, Potter that, I knew where it was going,”
“Uh, well, this is surprising…Well, at long as you’re happy?”
“Well, of course, I’m happy, why wouldn’t I be? Bitter?”
“No, I suppose not,” She smiled. “Well, I’ll see you later,”
“Alright, until then.”

Harry was sitting down at the family dinner table. It was the first day of Winter break with everyone home. As they all passed around the food Harry smiled at Albus who smiled back with easy.
Ever since Albus had come out to him a week ago at Parent’s day, they had gotten along a lot better than before. Now that Albus told him and Draco that both he and Scorpius were gay and dating his son seemed to just seem to be…. Complete.
Just as they were drinking some hot chocolate Lily had turned on the radio so they could listen to some music when Rita Skeeter’s voice announced loudly.
“THAT’S RIGHT WIZARDS AND WITCHES! HARRY POTTER AND DRACO MALFOY ARE IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER. ACCORDING TO KEY EYEWITNESSES THEY TWO HAVE BEEN IN LOVE SINCE the FIRST YEAR OF THEIR SCHOOL YEAR! OH HOW COULD HAVE NO ONE HAVE NOTICED AND YOU HEARD IT HEAR THEY ARE ALSO ENGAGED!”
Harry’s mouth fell opened in shock.
–
Draco spits out his tea all over Scorpius who screamed in shock.
