A/N: So, I know this one is short but that's why I'm updating three chapters at once XD
Also, I wanted to take this moment to thank every reader out there. I love you all so much for reading this and taking the time to sit through chapter after chapter 3
I especially wanted to thank those that commented, favorited and story-alerted this little creation of mine. the feedback really put a smile on my face every single time. ^_^
So here you go ;-)
After Harry had left the room, or barged from it, they sat in silence for a while.
"Well, seems like he's serious alright." Mr. Weasley said. Then they continued the conversation.
Draco and Harry were sitting across the room. Hermione had left some time ago and Ron seemed to have calmed down enough to come down because he was arguing with his sister about exactly how horrible the very idea of a Malfoy staying in their house was. Ginny claimed that the world was coming to an end but Ron shouted that it was like the sun had imploded and was sucking the earth through a time loop so that they had to experience the earth's destruction over and over again until eternity, "and every time we go through that loop, the apocalypse becomes even worse than the one before!" he ended his incredibly long and insulting rant.
Ron was making sure that they were in the same room. Not to be close to Malfoy in case he wanted to attack Harry, but to make sure that the twit knew he was definitely NOT welcome in the house. Draco looked ready to give in and hit him, whether Harry tried to stop him or not . Either way, Harry was almost looking the same. When the rest of the Weasleys entered they immediately got all the attention.
Ron's mother was looking very tired. Still, she smiled gently and told Harry that, if he really thought that it was the only option, and if he really trusted Malfoy (this earned her an angry look from Harry), that he could stay.
Harry stared at them in shock. He couldn't believe it. His face broke to a huge grin and without thinking he hugged her and thanked her profoundly. He then turned to Draco, who seemed happy … and slightly worried. Probably wondering if the floor would really hold him or something. Still, he smiled and mumbled a thanks.
Luckily though, nobody heard (except for Molly, who saw) because Ron was too busy screaming angrily. "What the hell? How can he even stay here?" Ginny seemed ready to break something, or someone's leg. Preferably Malfoy's. The rest tried to calm them down when suddenly Ron screamed "why?"
Everyone turned to the two boys that were keeping their distance. It was the one question Harry had refused to answer. He didn't think it right to tell them something Draco obviously didn't want them to know. He looked at the blond, who was just staring back at them defiantly. Draco knew full well he couldn't tell them to shove it because they had just allowed him to stay in their house for an indefinite time. Still, he didn't want them to know. He looked back at Harry.
"It's …" Harry started.
Thank God for the angel that is Molly. "That's all right Harry." She said supportively. "You don't have to give us a reason to have a friend stay over, we wouldn't ask Fred or George why they wanted Seamus to stay either." Harry just looked at her, incredibly grateful. He wondered if it was possible to owe one person anymore without exploding under the debts that you had to repay. Instead of exploding though, he just smiled.
Everyone else was just annoyed by their mother. Draco was somewhat perplexed that he was actually called Harry's friend (by a weasel!). He rather liked the sound of that. Maybe the mother hen wasn't so bad after all. But she was the exception that confirmed the rule, clearly.
