Chapter 2- What made it all happen

Ron had never been happier in his life. His dad had been steadily progressing through the Ministry of Magic and had finally become the Minister! The Weasly family was able to move out of the Burrow and move right into the same neighborhood as the Malfoys.

November slowly turned into December and it was time for Christmas break. Ron and Ginny went home to their manor for Christmas, while Harry and Hermione stayed at Hogwarts.

While Ron was exploring his new neighborhood he passed right across the Malfoy Manor and saw Draco, "Hello Weasley. I heard your dad was promoted," he sneered.

"Yah he was," Ron answered proudly. He even thought about taking off his coat to show Draco his new robes.

"Where's scarface?" he asked. His eyes glinting in the winter sun, "surely you're not hogging your manor to yourself and not inviting your friend?"

"He's no friend of mine. At least not when he's hanging out around Granger." Ron retorted.

This caught Draco off guard. After he recovered he replied, "So you finally dropped him and little miss-know-it-all as friends?" Ron nodded quietly, as Draco went on. "Well, I think you made a good decision," Draco retaliated, all the sudden very serious. "If you'll let me, I can show you how good life can be if you join me." He held out his hand, and without a moment's notice Ron took Draco's hand and shook it.

For a moment neither of them said anything, but then Ron started laughing. "I was just imagining what dear old Potter and Miss Head Girl would say it they saw us!"

"Oh, you mean scarface? I don't think Potty-wee-potter will have any authority over you now! You know I've been made Head Boy so even if that mudblood gives you trouble I'll give her hell!" They both shared a good laugh.

For the rest of Christmas break Ron and Draco went to each other's manors and bad talked Harry of Draco taught Ron good insults and comebacks. By the time Christmas break was over Ron was so like Draco. He couldn't believe it. If this had happened a few months ago he would be upset, but now he was proud to be like Draco for some odd reason.
