A/N: Few people liked my ending and several people were confused. So...I write one of those 'alternate ending' things that movies are so fond of making. That way you can pick your favorite ending and stick to it! Whoo! I'm bored! Blame that! That...and the caffeine I had about twenty minutes ago. Just for the record...this is try number fourteen...x.x Answers to reviews at the end.

(Set right after chapter five.)
"Severus! I...what are you doing here?" Draco stuttered, pulling me in front of himself as if to hide what I was sure he'd seen already. I grinned seeing the Potions Master with his hands over his eyes childishly. As if he hadn't seen any of that before.
"I came to ask two things. One: When's the wedding, and two: have you found a replacement Potions teacher yet?"
"The wedding is in a week. And I was about to write to someone else about the job. I'll owl you when I have a replacement teacher, Severus."
"Right! I'll just go then." With a pop, he apparated away. I snickered.
"Well, that was embarrassing." Draco passed me my pants and I tugged them on. "Thanks."
"I have to go write those letters," he muttered hurriedly getting dressed and racing out of there. I shook my head. That guy was so nuts you just gotta love him. Woah. I sat down on the couch after grabbing my shirt. Did I just admit to loving him?
Naw.
I shrugged and pulled my shirt back on, not bothering to button it up. I walked out of the room and worked my way down the hall after Draco.
There were too many questions to answer without him. I found the study in less time then I thought it would. It only took me half an hour! I knocked on the door and it flew open. I smiled seeing Draco hunched over his writing.
I gaped at the thing I saw resting on his nose. "I didn't know you wore glasses, Dray." He turned around fast enough to nearly knock him out of his chair.
"Harry!" I snickered. He pulled the glasses off his face and stared at me. "I only wear them when I read really small print." He held up the paper, showing how really tiny the writing was. "Johnny said he wouldn't do it. I'm writing this next one to Lupin."
I walked over and picked up his glasses. They looked like those glasses teenagers wore in America when they wanted to look 'cool.' I never liked them, but on Draco...I put the delicately back on his face and smiled. Cute.
He blinked and went to take them off. I grabbed his hands and leaned down, kissing him softly. "I love you, Dray," I whispered into his ear. His grip on my hands tightened and he kissed the side of my neck.
"I love you too, Harry." I couldn't stop the smile that spread across my face. He let go of me and turned back to his writing. "I have to get this done..." I grinned even wider when I saw that he was blushing.
"Merlin, you're so cute!" I kissed his forehead and walked out. I had my own questions to answer that I was sure Draco couldn't help me with. I found my way back to the living room, in less then an hour too, and hopped over to the fireplace.
I took a bit of floo powder and stepped into the fireplace. "Headmaster Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Flames shot up and I stepped out of the headmaster's fireplace. "Harry! So good to see you." I nodded. "Lemon drop?"
"No thank you." He shrugged and waved his hand at a chair in front of his desk.
"Would you like to sit down, my boy?"
"Thanks." I sat down and looked at him.
"What can I help you with?"
"Oh. Right. I was wondering if I could see the letter from my father...the one that said how I was to be married..."
"Of course." He dug around through the drawers in his desk until he pulled out a thin piece of parchment. He held it out to me and I took it delicately. I pulled it open and looked over the green curvy handwriting. I read it silently to myself.
'Albus Dumbledore,
I know this is a completely insane thing to ask of you, but I mould be much appreciated if you would do this one thing for me. I also know that this might be breaking a few rules, but since I have given my consent...Dead or otherwise, I am still his father.
I hope that you will do this, despite your wishes and most importantly his own. Do not try to ask me how I might have come across this information, but I know it to be true. Harry will fall in love with the one who wins. Just make sure the guy's cute.
I ask that in his eighteenth year he be auctioned off to be married. Also, tell Snape he's a greasy git for me.
Signed,
James Potter'
I laughed softly and looked up at Dumbledore. "'Tell Snape he's a greasy git for me'?" A smile creased his face and I laughed.
"Now do you understand the auction, Harry?" I nodded. "Yes, well, we never did take that money from Mister Malfoy. You can keep that letter and show him if you wish. So do you finally forgive us?"
I laughed looking over what my father wanted Dumbledore to tell Snape and nodded. "Yeah. I guess I do."
"You better be getting back, then, Harry. You have a wedding to plan." Dumbledore winked.
