Chapter 3: Love fight
It wasn't until the Great Hall was cleared that Ronald Weasley dragged Draco Malfoy to a near by corner and slammed him up against the wall, in vexation, both hands around his collars
"What are you thinking, Malfoy?" Ron hissed through his gritted teeth.
Draco simply looks down on the hands and smirk "Now? That really hurts, love-" seriously, that's whAt he was thinking
"SHUT UP!" Ron demand. Honestly from being gross out and freaked by the idea of them being together and trying to prevent Dumbledore from announcing them, Malfoy had admitted that they were together and people actually believed him….why is he doing this? What made him change his mind? AND WHO WAS HE TRYING attract using Ron as bait!
"Why are you doing this, Malfoy?" Ron ask again this time his gripe around the collar tightens a little as he rise Malfoy's feet a little higher from the ground.
"Hmm…" Draco pretend to think hard, "I don't know… because it's fun to call you 'Ronny bear', Ronny bear"
Ron grew impatient
"Don't 'Ronny bear' me!" his face was as purple as a plum…he is really pissed off.
Malfoy noticed this and snickers.
"Let me down and I'll tell you," Draco said calmly much to Ron's surprise…Malfoy is not the type that you could easily slammed against the wall and assault him and not fought back…he's up to something…something evil…something that needed Ron's help…
Ron exhaled as he tried to calm down and slowly lowered Malfoy to the ground and finally let his collars go
Well it's the only way to get Malfoy talking…
"Talk" Ron murmurs and Draco glee "Not here," he whispers so low so no one can hear him (well…there's no one there except for him and Ron) and grab Ron by his tie and pulled him behind the forest green curtains and completely out of sight, even with no-one in the Great Hall, but someone is bound to walk in at any time…Hello it's a Great Hall…anyone can come in any time they wish…
Draco let Ron's tie go and push Ron back a little so they're not too close to one another….Draco wants to talk to Ron face to face not fact too face…not so close up…
"Can we talk NOW?" Ron asks not liking the idea Malfoy acting all secrecy about this…it's not like they're really dating each other or something…
Malfoy pretended to looked uninterested as he examines his nails "Of-course" he began
"Weasley, how about we make a deal-"
"What deal?" Ron frown, his voice filled with suspicion as he cut in.
Seriously what deal? Isn't this all a joke to freak one another out in the beginning… now it's becoming a deal?
"You'll be my boyfriend-"
"WHAT!" Ron shouted
"Shh… think about Weasley if you're my boyfriend and I'm your boyfriend-"
"Is this because I slapped you before?" Ron snap and Draco pretend to ponder, "Hits means love, doesn't it?"
"SHUT UP!" Ron demand
"Is it really bad being my boyfriends? Why don't you give it a try and-"
"No WAY, Malfoy" Ron argued "N-O W-A-Y!"
"No, really if we're together-"
"What will you get out of this, Malfoy?" Ron fumed…honestly what WILL he get?
Ron crossed his arms as he awaits the answer….Seriously if Malfoy isn't gonna give him a good enough reason he would just walk off.
Draco huff and bite his lower lips…he usually do that when his thinking…
"I don't have to… marry Pansy?-" Ron dropped his arms, oh so0o0o she was the person he tries to attract "Great, I'm leaving!" he push past Malfoy and as he did Malfoy grab him back by his arm. "Think about it, Weasley. If you're my boyfriend…I don't have to marry Pansy and me and my friends won't pick on your friends anymore…we're all winners… no one loses," Draco whispers and for the first time he sounded so serious in his life that Ron couldn't believed that it's Draco Malfoy who's talking to him.
'Maybe…, Malfoy's… only like this… when he's asking you a favor…Maybe I should…No! Never!" Ron thought
Ron jerks his arm out of Draco's grips "NO WAY, Malfoy! Not in this life!" and ripped open the curtains and was about to leave when "You want to reconsider that?" Draco huffed in his mockery voice
"No!" Ron groans and walks off…
"Weasley, if you change your mind…I !-"
"NO WAY MALFOY!"
"He's sick, sick, sick, sick, sick!" Ron repeated for the 70th times as he make his way up the Gryffindor Common room's stairs and enter his dormitory. Honestly, what is Malfoy thinking trying to seal a deal with him? Ugh…this has gotta be his worstest day yet!
Ron was too busy cursing under his breath about Malfoy being a 'jerk' that he was caught rather off guard when someone grab him by his collar and slammed him against the wall violently…so this what Malfoy feels like? It dose hurt like hell…
"YOU BETTER EXPLAIN YOURSELF, RON!" the furious voice spat at him.
Ron blinks his eyes several times…seriously under this dimly lilted room he's as blind as a bat, "Harry?" Ron said faintly as he's sight is focus on the 'thing' that attacked him…he couldn't believe it, why would Harry approach him in such a violent manner? "Is that you, Harry?" Harry seems to be in a very bad mood…
"NOW- you don't even remember me!" Harry snaps, angrily
"NO, Harry it's not that I forgotten you mate…its-"
"Oh, really? I thought all you could think of is MALFOY! That's all you could remember, right Ron, Malfoy?" Harry shouted all red in the face.
Ron flinched at Harry's reactions. Harry had never raised his voice with him, why now? And why would he think of Malfoy? He's a jerk.
"No, Harry let me explain-"Ron pled but Harry interrupted him once more "No, you listen to me!" Harry argued "Ron… how could you? How could you go out with Malfoy, of all the creeps in the world and never told me?"
Ron finally acknowledge what Harry was angry about, he was upset about Ron and Malfoy being together…but it's not true they're not together…
Ron tried yet again to explain this misunderstanding "Harry, it's not like that! We're only-"
"Since when Ron, since when are there secrets between us?" Harry yelled and Ron was offended by this…it's true they're friends but that doesn't mean that Ron has to tell him everything that goes on in his life…he lived his own life!…And yet he thought that Harry would be the only one who understands this whole situation, that he's not with Malfoy! How could Harry ever consider him being with Malfoy?
Ron pushed Harry's hands off him so that he's no longer pin up against the walls.
"I lived my own life, Harry. I need my privacy; I don't have to tell you everything that goes on in my life!" Ron's voice rose a little
Harry huffed in a doubtful manner "I bet YOUtell Malfoy everything-"
Who is this?
"Honestly Harry, what's gotten into you?" Ron yelled angrily… now he's pissed off…isn't Malfoy enough? NOW Harry TOO! Everyone is pissing him off because he pissed them off!
"More like what's gotten into you; you dating Malfoy? What does he got?" Harry yelled in an equal tone…
"Nothing, we're not dating!" Ron asserted
"Oh, really? What's happen to the 'Ronny bear' and 'Malfoyie' before in the Great Hall? Gone? Honestly Ron I'm not an idiot! So don't treat me like one," Harry's fist was shaken so bad that he could barely control them…all he feel like doing that moment is to find Malfoy and beat him to a pulp.
Ron inhaled deeply and exhaled…honestly no matter what he said it just won't soak in to Harry, why would he bother to explain himself?
It was several minutes of silent before Ron say something "I thought Harry, that you knew me better enough to know that I won't go and date Malfoy-" Ron began softly but Harry huffed at this…was Ron really expecting him to buy this? After THEIR SHOW in the Great Hall!
"It doesn't look like that to me in the Great Hall," Harry hissed through his gritted teeth.
That's it…no more explaining!
Ron just huff angrily at Harry…Honestly the guy is hopeless and it's just hopeless explaining to a hopeless person! Ron feels like he wants to be somewhere else but here! He doesn't want to be here, no one believe him here!
It's hopeless being here!
In deafening silence Ron went over to his bed, pick his bag and swung it over he's shoulders, he starts to gather his textbook into his arms and stuffing his pillow under his arms…
Harry stared at him in silence… "What is Ron doing? Is he packing?" Harry thought silently
"What are you doing? Where are you going?" Harry asks in his ungrateful tone at that moment Seamus and Dean walk into their dormitory.
Ron sulks in his gloomy mood and make sure that he had everything he wants with him.
Seamus and Dean saw this and said "Ron, Harry what is Ron doing, where's he's going?" But they were ignored.
Ron finally got all the things he need with him and look up at Harry.
"Honestly, Harry if you could be a better friend…-" Ron hissed through his gritted teeth
"Why would YOU need a FRIEND when YOU got Malfoy?" Harry snap
Ron huffed at this, eyes all bleary and all…
"Honestly, Harry… Act like someone who cares and stay out of my life!" Ron shouted and starts to walk away but when he made it to the door Harry shouted "Great, Ron! Just go! Go and stay with MALFOY!" he didn't mean it though, he was just too upset and hurt with this revelation
Ron on the other hand was not in a good mood either. He closed his eyes, forcing the tears not to fall… "No, no, no you must not cry" Ron said to himself, he must not show Harry how wounded he is.
"It's better than staying here with you…" Ron confessed and left their dorm...leaving the very shock Harry, Dean and Seamus…Honestly, how could Ron said that Malfoy is better than him?
Harry is 100 times better than Malfoy! 100 times plus 1 even
'Do god please…Ron don't go and stay with Malfoy, I was just upset when I said that….please come back", Harry pray silently…he never meant those angry retort he made earlier, he doesn't know what's gotten into him. His eyes clouded with sadness as he watches Ron disappearing down the stairs and out of their common room…
Ron sign in relief as he climbed out of the portrait with all his stuffs… Honestly, now he had a row with Harry and he can't stay at their dorm anymore because he chose to move out. Now he hasn't got anywhere to go…What is he going to do?
…
Suddenly it clicked; the answer was so obvious… why doesn't occur to him before?
"Who is it?" complained the sleepy Draco Malfoy as he open the Slytherins portrait.
"Hey! Malfoy," Ron began happily and Malfoy stared at him strangely.
"Did I bother you?" asks Ron nicely…too nicely.
Well…its 1 o'clock in the morning and Malfoy does looks a bit perturbed with Ron disturbing his 'beauty sleep' or whatever he was doing that… makes… him looked so tired.
And before Ron could open his mouth to say anything Malfoy seems to have notice his ruffle appearance and quickly straighten out his pajamas and runs his hand through his hair to tame it down, he fixed his collar and lean his left hand to the door's frame looking more alive…or is he trying to more charming to Ron?
There are times, when Malfoy can be very eccentric…
"So0oo-," Draco cooed… damn Malfoy is such a jerk at times! "You've changed your mind?" Draco added and smiled warmingly.
Well…Ron hates to admit it but he had…
Ron nodded, his face fell in defeat and Draco smirks at this "Malfoy, is the deal still on?" Draco nod at this
"Well, okay I'll be your boyfriend,-"added Ron
"Great! That…that you finally… think it though, thoroughly," Draco exclaimed delightfully.
"Well, we're not going to do lovey dovey stuff, are we?" Ron asks uncertainly "No," Draco answered surely…of course why would they act as lovers? They're just pretending to be a couple…Duh!
Ron's eyes fixed to the ground "We're not gonna hold hands…and stuff?-,"
"Nope, on my mother's life, we're not," replied Draco…
"Okay, you got your self a deal," Ron exclaimed but before he shook his hand to seal the deal with Draco he added "BUT on ONE condition"
"Okay," Draco snickers "What's that?" Honestly… what is it? It can't be something horrible?
"I'll have to move in with you," Ron murmurs and Draco's hand slips off the door frame
"WHAT!"
