Fanboy Draco Malfoy Convinces Harry Potter to Marry Him!

Brawls & a Sphinx-the Third Task (Part One)

Cedric peeked around the corner before hiding in a group of Gryffindor's passing by.
"Did you piss off Malfoy again?" Lee Jordan asked curiously and he heaved a sigh.
"He's really going to kill me this time." Lee cackled before clapping him on the shoulder.
"I'm sure it will be fine!" He spent twenty minutes hiding in the halls as he tried to get to his Common Room. He would be safe there. His Housemates wouldnt rat him out to the Slytherin boy. He finally made it to the entrance and climbed in. It was silent as he set his bag down. The chair by their fireplace slowly turned around and Malfoy was sitting there with Snappy on his lap. He gave his Housemates a betrayed look.
"Sorry, Ceddy! He threatened to cut off our cookie supply! I was going through withdrawals just thinking about it." Tonks shouted from the sofa as she passed out their weekly plate of cookies from Lord Malfoy.
"Diggory, we have some things to discuss." He sent a quick prayer to wizard Jesus and sat in front of him.
"Just to be clear, Harry challenged me! If I didn't accept, Helga Hufflepuff's ghost would haunt me." He wasn't sure if that was true but he wasn't going to take the chance. Draco rolled his eyes and said "I'm not here about Harry kicking your arse. I am a little annoyed that I didn't get to see it." Cedric slumped over and thanked every deity he could think of. He still might die in the Tournament but it would be quick, unlike what Draco would put him through.
"I've been thinking of a way to out the Headmaster for his trickery and I want your opinion." Draco explained his plan and Cedric gave a whistle.
"Do you think it will work?" Cedirc knew the Headmaster was always ten steps ahead of everyone. Draco gave him a feral grin.
"It doesn't matter if it does. I just need to create enough doubt to have him investigated." Cedric hummed.
"But why are you asking me?" Draco sighed before saying "I needed an average person's opinion. If you read this in the paper, how would you feel? We need the public to side with us."
"I would feel betrayed." He said with a smile and Draco matched it.
"Exactly. We are going to cut off Dumbledore's fanbase."

Neville read the paper and spat out his tea. The headline blared "Albus Dumbledore, Defeater of Grindelwald, Was Actually His Lover?" There was an old picture of the two holding hands and Neville had to hold back his gag. Gross, he didn't want to think about the Headmaster shagging anyone. He saw it was by Rita Skeeter and knew Draco had something to do with it.
"My Dear Readers,
I recently received a tip that I had to investigate! As you know, Albus Dumbledore has been a beacon of hope in our community for over fifty years. He has survived two Wizarding Wars and even has our esteemed Minister's ear! To say I was shocked is an understatement! I did some digging and this poor reporter for something simply staggering! Albus Dumbledore was in a romantic relationship with the very man he defeated! I had always thought it was odd that he had waited so long to take action. He must have been at war with himself. No wonder he imprisoned Dark Lord Grindelwald instead of killing him! After all, how could he murder his former lover?" Neville peeked over the paper and saw that the Headmaster was missing from his seat. He skipped towards the bottom and let out a gasp.
"This writer understands that this might be hard news to hear and I would hate to accuse someone unjustly! So I traveled all the way to Nurmengard to speak to the feared Dark Lord myself. It seemed he didn't get any visitors because he was rather befuddled to see me. It was hard to grasp that this harmless old man was once a terrifying wizard right behind You-Know-Who. After I explained why I was there, he seemed almost joyful to speak to me.
GG:"Thank you for visiting, my dear." He shuffled his feet as he pulled the blanket higher on his lap.
RS: "Thank you for seeing me on such short notice!" He laughed before narrowing his eyes on me. I can almost see a glimpse of the man he was before.
GG: "So you've come to talk to me about Albus. He always was such a firecracker, so full of life. I regretted that we had become enemies. We had spent a year together in our youth. We were both so young and so in love. I'm sure you would understand." He gave me a cheeky wink.
RS: "Oh my! Stop it, my good sir! I am married to my job. How did you two become foes? It's mind blowing to think Dumbledore was even capable of standing beside you, no offense." He waved his hand.
GG: "I don't get worked up at my age, dear. Some rather unfortunate circumstances happened to lead us to where we were. I had begged him to stay with me but he refused. Albus had a way of sensing when the tides would turn. It would be two short years later that I would be defeated by the same person I thought I would spend the rest of my life with." I handed him a handkerchief to dry his eyes with.
RS: "And what do you mean "sensing when the tides would turn?"
GG: "Well Albus and I had thought of my beliefs together! Muggles were beneath us and they needed a guiding hand. I have obviously seen the error of my ways but it was too late. Albus had always been sly, quick witted and clever. His mind is his greatest weapon. Once he realized it was mostly Dark families that supported my cause, that is when he left me. He knew that the Light families wouldn't stand still and he was right. Perhaps I should have listened to him."
We chatted for a little while longer before I left the cold and dreary prison."
There you have it, my dear readers! Albus Dumbledore is part of the very reason Grindelwald was able to get so much power! If not for his positive influence, he might have been just another Dark wizard spouting nonsense. Why has Dumbledore never addressed his relationship with the former Dark Lord? Did he think the public was too stupid to figure it out? Is this the type of person we want teaching our children? This reporter isn't so sure!" Neville looked around and saw every student and teacher was glued to their copy of the paper. He knew the owls hadn't come yet and could recognize Herm's handy work. He spotted Draco at the Slytherin table and raised his cup to him. He was curious as to how the Headmaster would retaliate.
