Warning: slight Hermione-bashing in this chapter and maybe others!

#########################

For a week after the Umbridge detention, the Slytherins wouldn't let Ron go somewhere alone (especially his cousin). Sometimes Ron's 'brothers' would randomly appear to make sure Ron was alright. They could never say it but even though Ron wasn't theirs by blood they always thought of him as a brother! Slowly all the Gryffindors got over the change of house and went back to laughing and joking with him when they passed in the hallway. Now the snakes didn't exactly like this but one glare from the king of Slytherin (Draco) and his new prince (Ron) and all protests died, looks like there was going to be a truce if this keeps up!

Hermione was the only one that wasn't nice to Ron; she felt betrayed that whatever the reason he changed houses he couldn't confide with her because apparently she lectured! Everyone even agreed with him when he said that! Harry tried to stop her from getting into trouble but she wasn't about to stand down in this matter! This was going to be interesting.

That morning was warm but everyone was like they normally were: Ron laughing and making jokes that all of them actually appreciated, Draco laughing at his cousin's jokes and on look out to see if there was any threats to his house, Zabini staring at Ron knowingly, Pansy flirting with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle stuffing their faces, Fred and George planning whatever big thing that they wanted to do, Harry talking to Neville Dean and Seamus about what they were going to do to annoy Snape in Potions that day. Hermione marched up to the snake house and stomped her foot tersely speaking, "Ron."

All his housemates stared at him as he calmly answered with a soft, "Yes?"

"What is up with you? Before you were fighting with the snakes, and you hated Malfoy with a passion! Now you're all buddy, buddy with him like you have been all your life!" she screamed getting the attention of the other houses. Hufflepuff moved uncomfortably in their seats at the conflict, Ravenclaw started to get up to help settle this argument before it really began, and Gryffindor got ready to separate the two who would start any physical fights.

"I am a Slytherin now! I only hated them because I didn't understand them! And yes I have befriended Draco is there a problem?" Ron was devoid of emotion while speaking this.

"Yes there is a bloody problem, I want a real reason because you aren't acting like the Ron Weasley that I know!" She continued to screech in a annoying and high-pitched voice that grated the red-head's ears.

"Well then I guess you don't know me as well as you thought you did because frankly I haven't changed at all these last few years, matter of fact the only one who has changed around here is you!" he finally lost it and growled.

"Oh and how is it that I have changed Ron give me your opinion and don't keep anything back!" she hissed.

"Oh I know you wouldn't want to know some of the things I could say to that! Lets just stick with the basics, since when in the name of Merlin's bloody beard did you ever curse? Or better yet when did you start to take notice of anyone other than Harry? Don't give me that shocked look I see it every time you talk to him you just want to be by the boy-who-live or better yet hey Harry can I re-name you?" he glanced over to his best friend who snorted and nodded. "Ok this isn't meant to offend you mate, but Hermione you only care about the boy-who-just-won't-die-and-stay-dead!"

Draco snorted his drink at the nickname that Ron thought up, Harry grinned and laughed, Fred and George nodded at what Ron was saying about the mouse-haired girl. Draco finally decided to intervene and stood up.

"Listen mudblood." He started. "I know this is going to be hard to comprehend with your mind but GO AWAY!"

He gasped and when she saw nobody going to defend her she ran out of the Great Hall.

The whole school went back to what they were doing before the interruption, totally ignoring what just happened.

OK if you like Hermione don't kill me please, she might get nicer later in the story if I feel like not bashing her anymore (slim chance). I was laughing so hard as I wrote some of this imagining all the faces and what some of them could've said but I didn't want to put! I also loved re-naming Harry he is no longer the boy who lived in my eyes, because he is always so close to dieing when some help randomly appears! And when he really does die he gets another life! What the heck? Err anyway off topic please Review!
