hi guys! ty for all the support recently it's been so amazing :)

- Harry and Draco purposely get detention together and Dumbledore finds out - 

Dumbledore strolled around the halls, lost in thought. He liked to walk about the castle at night, it was calming. He passed by a classroom and peered in through a window, and was slightly taken aback by what he saw.

Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy were sworn enemies. They fought and argued nearly every day. Their fights often escalated to the point of disturbing class, landing them in detention. They were in detention together at least twice a week. If those two were in a class together, it was almost confirmed that there would be some ruckus. 

So when Dumbledore saw the two boys basically wrapped in each other's arms, it was just short of shocking. They had been sent to write lines, probably along something like 'I will not bicker in class'. They were writing the lines, but not at separate tables, sending glares at each other as one would expect. Harry sat writing the lines with his right hand and Draco's head was rested on his right shoulder. Their chairs were pulled close together, and Draco's left arm was wrapped tight around Harry's waist as he wrote lines with his other. Dumbledore couldn't hear into the classroom, but the two boys spoke to each other, smiling contently. Feeling odd staring, Dumbledore stepped away from the window and turned away. He continued his stroll, deep in thought. Everything started to make sense. It was almost comical how often they were sentenced to detention together, as it must be on purpose. They wanted detention so they could spend time together. Dumbledore smiled to himself and discarded the thoughts, as it wasn't his business. He respected the privacy of young love.

A couple days later, Harry and Draco 'found themselves' in detention again. They were to polish the trophies in the trophy case together. They were happy about the fact that it was after hours, because that meant privacy. Harry got to work polishing the trophies as he waited for Draco. Shortly after, he heard footsteps from down the hall. Harry looked up and grinned, laying eyes on Draco running down the corridor. Harry put down the trophy and held his arms out to Draco. The Slytherin wrapped him in a warm hug and pressed his face into Harry's hair. 

"Hi." He said with a smile. Harry pulled away from the hug and smiled back.

"Hi." He breathed, pulling Draco into a kiss. Draco kissed back softly, sliding his hands into Harry's dark locks. They broke apart and got started on the trophies, talking about their days. They were in no rush to finish the work.

Their detention-earning stunts continued, and Dumbledore told no one of his findings. However, one day a couple of weeks later, they went a bit over the top. They shot spells at each other during potions despite the shouts from the teacher, and Draco lit the curtains on fire with a missed hit. Nobody had gotten hurt, luckily. However, it was a major disruption to the class and had endangered the other students. They had been sentenced to detention for the next two weeks. Dumbledore knew that it was his duty as headmaster to put a stop to this. 

That night, Dumbledore strode from his office down to the potions room, where Harry and Draco were given detention. They were to scrub all of the cauldrons until they were spotless. Dumbledore gazed through the window quietly. With the sponges for cleaning the cauldrons, Harry and Draco were flinging water at each other and laughing. Draco ducked behind the desk as Harry lobbed soapy water his way, both of them grinning like idiots. Dumbledore smiled fondly, a bit sad about what he was there to do. He moved away from the window and knocked hard on the door. He heard some shuffling around inside, and waited a few seconds before opening the door. Harry and Draco scrubbed the cauldrons in silence, not looking at each other. Harry looked up at Dumbledore.

"Hello, sir." He greeted. Dumbledore shut the door behind him and made his way to where the boys were cleaning.

"Good evening, boys." He said, nodding his head. "It seems we've gotten ourselves in a bit of trouble, yes?" He said, and the two hung their heads in embarrassment. "Now what number detention is this in the last month, hm? It seems like you're here every week." He said, tutting. "That sounds to me like detention isn't an affective punishment." Harry and Draco's heads snapped up and they shared a look of slight panic. "Perhaps something else would sort you two out." He continued, watching their faces.

"I don't think that's necessary, sir." Harry said, face slightly red.

"Oh, you don't?" He said, raising his brow. "So you think that these detentions have been successful in stopping the fuss between you and Mr. Malfoy here?" He asked. The two looked away shamefully. They felt a bit guilty now. "Maybe if you two were to be supervised, you would be more motivated to comply." He suggested, watching their faces carefully. He could sense the sadness. "Boys, this is all in your best interest. You have got to stop disrupting your classes, it's affecting the other students." He said truthfully. The two nodded sadly. Dumbledore thought for a moment. "Let's try something, shall we? Perhaps the detention only makes you angry, defeating it's purpose. I declare no more detention for the two of you, lets see how this affects your behavior." He finished, seeing the disappointment evident on their faces. He didn't want to be mean, but he did what had to be done. He turned to leave the room, pausing before he left. "You two have heard of the room of requirement, yes?" He asked, and Harry blushed, nodding slightly. Dumbledore smiled at that and exited the classroom, leaving the two alone.

"So, that just happened." Draco said, slightly stunned.

"He knows. He definitely knows." Harry said, burying his face in his hands. Draco let out a small laugh and snaked his arms around Harry's waist.

"So about that room of requirement?"
