This is going to be Draco/Ron unless I change it (not likely)

#############################

Ron was barely breathing as each student went to the hat to get sorted. What would he get? He wasn't smart, or brave, or cunning and he didn't want to be in Hufflepuff. He watched as the smart girl was out in Gryffindor along with Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom. Finally he was the one being called. The hat was placed a top his head.

Hm are you a Weasley? Really! Interesting!

I know I am surprising and barely a Weasley.

I would have to agree, but that isn't a bad thing either.

I don't think I have a house.

Really! Everyone has a house, some just need some time to unlock their real traits and not be forced to believe them. Family can only get you so far when it comes to beliefs you hold dear.

I know that. I don't always agree with my family but I am too afraid to tell them my opinion. I don't think that muggles are weak but I don't think that they need to be worshiped like dad because they are 'fascinating'!

So I see from your mind, I believe that I have the perfect house for you, so when you get there don't be mean try to make some friends this is where you will strive.

Alright

"SLYTHERIN!" the hat cried out making the entire school gasp. Slytherin?

Ron stepped down from the stool and walked over to the table that he would now be residing in. The house was staring or glaring at him from their seats but that didn't matter soon he would have to get along with them. The feast went on like normal except he was stared at for the longest time. Then they snorted an 'a Weasley lucky enough to be Slytherin never thought it would happen'.

When dinner ended the Slytherins were marched down to the dungeons were the rules were set.

"Number one outside of this common room no matter how much you dislike someone here you will defend them our house is always united and it won't change because you hate blood traitors!" Snape started.

"Next I expect you to all look down on the other houses, Weasley is the only exception because he shouldn't be here. I don't care if some Gryffindor is trying to seduce you, got that? Good! Lastly if I hear that you got us to lose the house cup or the quidditch cup you will have a big problem is that understood?" he got many nods and gulps.

"Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, Zabini, and Weasley are going to be in a dorm together than. . ." Ron zoned the rest out he had died a little inside.

When they were dismissed he quickly followed his roommates to where they would be staying this year. When he got in there he got the bed closest to the fall wall. He sat down on the bed silence still following them like a plague.

"Weasley stop moping! You were given the chance to do something with your life!" Draco Malfoy scoffed slightly, "A chance you didn't have before!"

"What do you mean?" Ron asked ever being the naïve younger sibling that was never told anything.

"You are poor, you are not influential in the least, and you are a Weasley that being said now that you are in the right house, no one would ever say you are a bloodtraitor and you might get somewhere with whatever skills you may unlock. And like I said this is a maybe and a might!" the blond explained.

"Oh," was the red-head's quiet reply.

"Oh? Are you only able to listen speak up already!" Malfoy growled angrily.

"What do you want be to say Blondie? I am in a house that is supposed to unlock my abilities with people who hate my family for our believes! We are still on the same level as you even without money! I don't know what goes on in you guys' minds but I can tell you that you really need to back off!" he hissed standing up but when he realized what he had said and to whom he squeaked and sat back down trying to move away in fear.

Draco clicked his tongue in disapproval. "If you are going to be in this house you will gain confidence and you won't talk back to me. You should be grateful that I have even taken the time to talk to a bloodtraitor such as you, and am preparing you for what lay ahead. So instead of yelling at me you should be down on your knees thanking me!"

Ron bit his lip so that he wouldn't do something that he would regret. This gained a smirk from the blond that finally walked to the bathroom and shut the door allowing the four others to sit there.

Ron jumped when a hand was shoved in to his view. He looked up to see Blaise Zabini (he remembered from the sorting) standing above him.

"You need allies in school, no matter what their status. And you won't survive without someone their behind you so I will back you up if you back me up." He spoke with indifference. Ron knew that it was better to have one than none so he shook hands with the Italian, not noticing the blond in the bathroom looking out whispering, "The second right move you make Weasley! Listening to me was your first! Maybe there is hope for you!"
