Chapter three

"I don't understand Ron, you hated Malfoy." Harry shook his head.

"I know but he needed someone to believe in him. And I know, at first I put up with him but he is actually pretty funny, and he has defiantly changed. I can see it. He needs to be given a chance, Harry." Ron looked over to Draco who was standing at the other end of the corridor. He paces for a few seconds before sitting down on the floor, knees raised, elbows rested on them with his head in his hands.

"But what about everything he has done?" Harry asked.

"That wasn't his choice it was that or Voldemort killing him and his family. What would you have done?" Ron asked knowing he would have done the same had his family been threatened.

"I guess so. But...I... its j-just it's Malfoy."

"I know. It took some time for me too but he's a nice bloke. He deserves a second chance." Ron pleaded he felt sorry that all of Draco's friends had forsaken him.

"Fine, I guess if you can forgive, I can try." Harry gave in before yelling to Draco. "Oi, Malfoy I guess if Ron Weasley can forgive you, I should try. You get one chance."

"Thanks mate, I won't waste it." Draco said walking over to them.

"You better not." Harry shook Draco's hand and began walking to the great hall.

Draco walked over to where Ron and Harry were sitting by the lake. They were both in howling with laughter. Draco stood awkwardly off the edge. As Ron fell on his back clutching his sides he noticed Draco's upside down figure.

"Yo Draco, come join us. Harry just told me the funniest thing." Ron laughed as he sat up. Draco sat in front of them.

"Ready?" Ron asked and Draco nodded. "Right here goes. Why do Slytherins cross the road twice?" Draco gave him a blank look. "Because they always double cross." Ron waited for Draco reaction but was left with stony silence. So silent in fact that had it been a cheesy film crickets would be chirping. "Ok not a fan. What about, I got detention last week for talking in class, apparently 'I have heard every possible joke about Oliver Wood's name is not a challenge.'" Draco raised his eyebrows. "Fine, what about, I will not use Umbridge's quill to writ 'I told you I was hardcore.'" Harry was trying to bite back his laugh. Draco looked on if this had been a few years ago he would have been smirking at them.

"What's with Umbridge's quill? Why would it be hardcore to write with?" Draco asked confused.

"You didn't know about her quill?" Ron said shocked.

"Of course he bloody wouldn't have, he was in the inquisitorial squad." Harry scoffed. Draco looked down in his lap.

"I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry." Harry rubbed the back of his neck and Draco nodded.

"So, what do you call a Hufflepuff with one brain cell?" Ron asked nervously. Both Draco and Harry turned towards Ron. "Gifted." Harry burst out laughing and Draco cracked a smile.

"What do you call a Hufflepuff with two brain cells? Pregnant." Harry was letting out deep booming laughs and Draco started chuckling.

"What has fourteen legs and can't fly for toffee? The Hufflepuff Quidditch team." Harry and Draco now became uncontrollable.

"Why did Crabbe and Goyle cross the road? Because Draco did." Ron laughed. Draco's mouth gaped ad he stared at Ron. This only caused Harry to laugh harder.

"Oh you think that's funny? Why did the Weasley cross the road? Because someone threw a sickle!" Draco smirked.

"Hey!" Ron shouted. Harry was clutching his sides with tears rolling down his face.

"So Harry, how many Quidditch players does it take to change a light bulb? Seven and one seeker to take all the credit." Ron snapped.

"Hey I'm a seeker too!" Draco shouted. They all sat silently for a second before exploding with laughter. They were all rolling all over the floor, faces wet with tears. Once they calmed down Harry asked Draco.

"So, Draco some of us meet in the Room of Requirement for a little shindig and I wondered if you wanted to come?"

"Um, yeah sure. I mean if you don't mind..." Draco mumbled.

"Yeah sure, come along. It will be fun." Ron grinned.

"Yo guys listen up." Ron called to the group sitting in the Room of Requirement. Ginny, Luna, the Patil twins, Neville, Seamus, Dean and Hermione were sat in a rough circle. "You aren't going to like this but Draco is going to join us." Some of the group huffed. Draco was stood behind Ron and Harry behind Draco.

"Come on mate, it doesn't matter I'll just catch up with you later." Draco patted Ron's shoulder.

"No wait," Neville stood up and walked over to Draco, Ron and Harry. "Look guys, if Ron Weasley can forgive him there has to be a good reason for it." Neville chuckled. "He may not have made the best decisions in the past but he made the right choice in the end and that can't have been easy. And neither could have been coming into the lion's den, bar Luna of course." Luna smiled brightly at him. Neville held out his hand to Draco. "You have got my trust, had to have taken a lot to do what you did in the war." Draco grabbed his hand and shook firmly. He followed Harry and Ron to the circle sat on the floor nodding and shaking hands as he went. Once he sat down people resumed their conversations.

"I can't believe you are all accepting this! He's not one of us! Think of what he had done to us! He's not one of us! Think of what he did to us! I can't sit by and watch!" Hermione shouted before storming out of the rom. Ron got up to go after her.

"I should go; I am going to have to talk to her eventually. I want to apologise. She needs to shout at someone and who better than me right?" Draco coughed nervously.

So there we are, hope it wasn't too bad. The next chapter hold the big confrontation between Hermione and Draco, let me know what you think, much love :)
