Little Brother1

Something was up. Ever since about one week into fifth year, Ron had been calmer, cooler, and less prone to react to Draco's aggravations. And though that was odd, Draco had been acting just as strange. The Slytherin fifth year had concentrated less on Ron's poor state of life, though with good reason. The Weasleys were an upper income family due to the fact that Cornelius Fudge had been impeached, and Arthur Weasley was now Minister of Magic. This brought great relief to Harry, Hermione, and everyone else who knew of the now arisen Voldemort.

Back to Draco. When "fighting" with Ron, he concentrated more on, well, he didn't really concentrate on anything. He would, well, I take that back too. They didn't fight, except for that first week. A couple people saw Draco and Ron entering the same room once, and rumor spread that they had private fight sessions, and one horny fourth year said they were homosexual, and they went there to have steamy make-out sessions. Of course none of this was true, yet Draco and Ron did nothing to squader these outrageous accusations. Truly, both wallowed in the attention they were getting.

Now while everyone was concentrating on Ron and Draco, no one noticed Snape, who, as it may seem, have given a point, just a single point to Ron. At the time, no one heard, except Ron, and maybe Millicent Bullstrode, but she was picking her nose at the time, so it was very unlikely that she had, due to, er, her present activity.

Ron and Draco, Ron and Draco, it was the talk of the school. Any outsider who came might think they were the newest couple. All that was needed was Cho Chang's posse to start screaming "Scandalous!" every time Ron or Draco walked by.
