Disclaimer: I do not own any of this but the plot

AU: This is an AU it starts in the first book and will continue on, it's what would have happened if Ron hadn't sat with Harry. This story's all about the Ron.

Threw out the feast Ron talked eagerly with his new friends about his up and coming classes, the professors, and mostly their house. About mid way threw the second course Draco Malfoy and his goons came back around.

"Hello again." Draco said.

Marcus rolled his eyes witch made Ron giggle and Malfoy frown.

"Hello Malfoy" Adrian said threw clinched teeth.

Draco put his very forced smile back on.

"Can we sit with you now that we're Slitherins?" he asked looking hopeful.

"Yeah just don't annoy us." Marcus said.

"Thanks" Draco said and he and his friends sat next to Ron and his friends.

"Hey Ronnie," Adrian said with a smile,

"Yeah" Ron said nervously picking at his food.

"You know if you go to Snape he can make so you can change your classes to the ones you want" Adrian finished.

"I thought the heads of house didn't do that," Ron said thinking of the way Percy had complained his first year at school.

"Most don't but Snape's cool, heck we'll even help you pick what classes would be best for you" Terence threw in.

"Thanks" Ron said his whole face bright red with a blush.

Ron noticed Draco was glaring at him pretty hard and dissuaded he wasn't very hungry.

Ron yawned and rubbed his eye.

"Ahh is the baby sleepy?" Draco said mockingly.

Ron blushed and looked at his feet.

"Shove it, Malfoy" Marcus growled, Terence and Adrian looked pissed too.

Draco looked shocked that they'd snapped at him and stood up for Ron then he put on a fake smile.

"I was only teasing calm down." he said and the others let it blow over.

"So what classes do you think I should take?" Ron asked his friends softly.

"I say pick one or two classes you really like then try to get the rest of them to be easy classes" Adrian said.

"Can I do?" Ron asked.

"Yeah as long as the ones you want to take are challenging" Terence said.

"What classes are there to choose from?" Ron asked and the rest of the feast the boys disgusted the classes Ron should try for.

The meal cleared and the headmaster gave his speech then everyone headed to their common rooms.

Ron was impressed by the Slytherin common room it was sparse but nice, everything was silver, green or stone there weren't any windows and it was cold though and Ron was sure they were under ground.

"Wow" Ron said but his teeth were chattering.

"Yeah it's chilly down here at night some times" Adrian said softly and dropped his cloak over the one Ron was already wearing.

Blushing Ron gave his friend his best smile. Most people were going to there dorm rooms but Marcus and the other two led Ron over to one of the couches. Ron was still shivering when they sat down so Marcus pulled him into his lap and closed his cloak around them both and Ron was sure he'd never blushed so much.

"So Ronnie you sure these are the classes you want?" Terence asked holding the list they'd made at the feast his voice was kind of tight though and Ron wasn't sure why.

"Yeah" Ron answered.

"Well we'll talk to Snape for you but don't get you hopes up okay you might only get some of the classes you want" Adrian said his voice to was tight.

"Thanks guys"
