Draco Malfoy and Ron Weasley stared at each other above the overturned closet. There was a terrifying glint in Draco's eye as he closed his hands into tight fists.

Earlier that Evening…

"Weasley"

"Malfoy"

The two enemies stared at each coldly. They had been unfortunate enough to meet at the entrance to the Great Hall before the first feast of their 6th year at Hogwarts.

"Have fun with the mudblood and the 'chosen one' over the Summer?" Draco sneered, then taking a better look at Ron, forgetting himself for a moment he added appreciatively, "Wow, have you been working out?"

Draco gawked transfixed at Ron's now muscular and perfectly tanned body, until he realised what he was doing and replaced his shocked face with a scowl.

"Actually, yes I have." Said Ron blushing, "You're the first one to notice, I-" Ron silenced mid-sentence. He had just remembered who he was talking to and replaced his look of gratitude with a scowl that matched Malfoy's perfectly.

They stared at each other for a moment longer before both abruptly turning their backs on the other to walk to their house tables on opposite sides of the Hall.

Shaken from his strange encounter with Draco, Ron absent-mindedly took a seat opposite his sister, Ginny, and grabbed two chicken drumsticks.

"Wow"

"What?"

"Wow," Ginny repeated.

"What are you going on about, Ginny?" asked Ron again.

"More like who," Ginny replied dreamily.

Confused, Ron turned around to find Ginny's line of vision, and saw-

"Why are you wow-ing at Draco Malfoy?" he demanded angrily.

"Ginny sighed. "I know he's horrible and mean."

Ron nodded in approval.

"And he's in Slytherin, " Ginny continued, "But you can't deny he's gotten really hot over the Summer."

Ron looked back at Malfoy. "Just because he's got that perfect blonde hair that never sits the same way and those perfect sparkling blue eyes that are deeper than oceans and that amazing smile and that tall, sexy body, it does NOT MAKE HIM HOT." As if to exaggerate his last words, Ron took aggressive bites of each of the drumsticks he was holding.

Ginny stared at her brother weirdly.

"What?" he asked through mouthfuls of chicken.

Meanwhile, at the Slytherin table, Draco was having a hard time convincing Millicent Bulstrode Gryffindors weren't attractive.

"Come on Malfoy, I know you hate them but it doesn't stop them being attractive," Millicent argued.

"Millicent, that has got nothing to do with it, I just feel-"

Millicent practically jumped out of her seat as a sudden idea came to her before saying excitedly, "But there is one guy in Gryffindor who is just drop dead gorgeous."

"Who?" Draco asked curiously.

"Ron Weasley."

Draco laughed. "Ron Weasley," he repeated, turning to stare at the 'drop dead gorgeous Gryffindor', "Just because his muscles have become so defined over the Summer and he has those cute little freckles that clash attractively with his new tan and his ears have that adorable way of turning as red as his hair when he's emotional and his smile reaches all the way to his eyes, it does NOT MAKE HIM DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!"

"Ok……" Millicent Bulstrode looked around in discomfort before pretending to pay close attention to her food.

On his first night back in the castle, Ron decided to treat himself by using the prefect's bathroom which he only knew the password to because he tricked it out of a 6th year at the feast.

When he reached the secret entrance, he muttered, "Bubbles," and a door was revealed.

Once inside, Ron excitedly turned on all the taps surrounding the pool-sized bath, but in a panic, he realised anyone might walk in on him while he was bathing. Using magic of course, Ron moved the closet filled with bubble potions to block the entrance and then began taking off his clothes.

* * *

Draco had overheard two fifth years discussing their prefect's bathroom on the Hogwarts Express. Draco had a strange fixation with bubbles so he thought he might check it out on his first night in the castle.

It took him a while to find the entrance – the fifth years hadn't been too clear – but eventually he did and whispered, "Bubbles." A door appeared. Draco leant forward and turned the handle.

Ron froze naked in the middle of the bathroom. He stood in shocked horror as he heard the twisting of the door handle behind the closet.

Draco grew frustrated with stubborn un-opening door so he used 'reducto' to force it open, causing the closet to flip over as he did.

Draco Malfoy and Ron Weasley stared at each other above the overturned closet. There was a terrifying glint in Draco's eye as he closed his hands into tight fists, attempting to control the strange urges he felt after seeing his arch-enemy completely naked in a bathroom.

Unable to control himself any longer, Draco launched himself over the closet at Ron and pinned him to the floor.

Ron's eyes opened wide but he made no attempt to escape as Malfoy forced his lips upon him.

Thrill passed through Ron's body as he and Draco kissed. And they didn't stop for a very long time…
