!$!$! Okay...I was distracted by summer work, but now that I've handed in two more essays, I'm back to writing. I totally want to get this story done because although this is sweet, the sequel is going to be more adventurous, exciting, and hott! Plus there will be a lot of new characters and that will be fun! Well...here goes the next chappy...!$!$!
As the days went by things seemed to get better. Mr. Weasley was openly having conversations with Draco, getting to know him better. Mrs. Weasley still didn't approve of him, but she kept her mouth shut. Bill had calmed down and, although he was still protective, he admitted that Draco was a pretty cool guy. Charlie, being the more sensitive of the brothers, was always there for Ron if he needed to talk about it.
The twins teased the couple constantly. They made it a point to appear in their room suddenly to catch the boys kissing, and make all kinds of jokes and rhymes about them. Ginny would follow them everywhere staring at the couple and drooling at how cute they were together. She also kept complaining about how lonely she was, and it was really starting to piss everyone off.
Harry and Hermione's relationship was also growing. They had proclaimed their love for each other to everyone besides the other. Although, Harry was trying to work up the guts to do so. Harry was still pretending to be friends with Draco, but each day he loosened up little by little.
Hermione and Draco were becoming the best of friends. She had always seemed a little pushed to the side. Ron and Harry always chose to hang out with each other over her, and although Ginny was her friend, she was younger and not as fun. Draco was like the best friend she never had, and she was the same to him.
On the morning before the ride on the Hogwarts Express, Ron woke up to find Draco wrapped in his arms. Although he had fallen asleep in a different bed then the blonde, he smiled and kissed Draco's neck before letting go of the boy and beginning to pack his things.
By dropping his potions kit and breaking everything inside of it, he woke the two boys in the room up. They would have needed to get up soon anyway. After all of the children in the house were packed, they took the bus to the Leaky Cauldron. "I've never gotten so many dirty looks in my life!" Draco complained as they got off the bus.
"That's what we get from dragging owls onto a Muggle bus, especially yours! It's huge!" Ron laughed.
"It's an eagle owl, they're supposed to be big!" Draco defended and walked into the pub.
"...Yes, I need three rooms for the night." Molly said to Tom behind the bar and he guided them to their rooms.
"Wow, it's amazing that this place is actually cleaning then our room back there." Draco joked, but got a glare from Harry, who didn't appreciate anyone talking ill about Sirius' house. "Sorry..." Draco whispered and laid down on one of the beds in the room. "Oh Ron, look there's only two." he said winking and patting the bed.
Ron knelled on the bed and crawled over to Draco, kissing him on the nose. "We've got to go buy our things, Draco." The blonde frowned, but got out of the bed and followed Ron and Harry into Diagon Ally. "I've got to go to Gringotts." Harry said as they walked along.
"Me too." said Draco.
"I thought you had money on you?" Ron asked.
"Not nearly enough." Draco complained. The other friends could tell it was going to be a shopping spree for the spoiled Malfoy. After stopping at Harry's vault, they took the long trip to Draco's. "Does it have to be so far away?!" Hermione complained, looking at her watch.
"The biggest volts are more protected." Draco said and crawled upon Ron, he was used to the long ride into the depths of the dungeon bank.
"Vault 10,664." the goblin spoke and the friends all got out of their seats, in order to stretch their legs. Draco pulled Ron into the vault to help him collect his gold. Ron nearly had a heart attack when he saw it all. Looking around the vault that was the size of his dormitory at Hogwarts, he exclaimed, "This is all yours?!?"
"Just mine. But there is still my parents next to this, it has more. I've inherited it all now that they are locked away. They always have a vault in Switzerland and Italy, just to be safe." Draco smiled broadly at how cute Ron looked when he was embarrassed at how poor he was.
"And I thought Harry had a lot of money..." Ginny said walking up to her brother.
After they had bought all of their basic things for school Ron walked over to his mother and started complaining that he needed a new potions set. "Ron, we just don't have the money right now, maybe you can share with someone." his mother said and walked off helping Ginny find her last book.
"I've already taken care of that for you, baby." Draco said, coming up behind Ron and handing him a new kit. Ron smiled quickly before it turned into a frown. "I'll pay you back..." he mumbled and put the kit in one of his bags.
"Ron, you know you don't need to." Draco said, but Ron walked away from him. "Baby," Draco said, running in front of Ron so he couldn't go any further. "you know I love you. Why should you have to pay me back? I have more money than I know what to do with, and I'd like to share it with you." Ron merely nodded and walked away again.
Draco stood gaping at how rude Ron was being. "Probably the most important thing you need to know about Ron," Harry said, coming up next to Draco and resting a hand on the blonde's shoulder, "is that his pride means everything to him. I too have tried to give his family money, but they simply won't accept it. Just buy him something expensive for Christmas, he'll accept that." he laughed and went to catch up with Ron.
Later that night, after dinner, Draco was packing away his new robes, broom, and school books, when Ron came up behind and wrapped his arms around Draco's waist. "Hey baby." Draco said and turned around, kissing Ron.
"Sweetie, I'm sorry. I love you too, and I shouldn't have walked away like that."
"It's okay, Harry explained everything, apology accepted. Now, can you help me fit all this junk in here?" Draco laughed. He still had to put his new potions kit, sweaters, and quill set away, and the trunk was already too full. Ron laughed and helped Draco situate all his things better.
"Now is the right time for snogging." Ron joked when they were done and pushed Draco onto their bed. He flipped Draco over so that he could be on top and ran his thumb alone the blonde's jaw line. "You know, after tonight, we might not be room mates anymore." Draco said sadly.
"Then, we'll just have to make the best of it." Ron smiled and pulled Draco into a kiss. When the kiss started to deepen Ron's free hand moved to Draco's back. It ran down his spine and slid over to his side before following down to his thigh. Draco twitched, fore he was ticklish. The hand then back tracked and found it's way to the blonde's ass.
Draco let out a small moan and felt himself starting to get aroused when Harry walked in. "Oh please..." he said rolling his eyes and lying on his own bed. "Don't you two ever give it a break?" he flipped through 'Which Broomstick' fro the millionth time as the other two boys sighed and got under the covers to go the sleep.
The next morning the students stood at platform nine and three quarters with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. "Ron, Ginny behave this year!" Mr. Weasley scolded and hugged his children. Mrs. Weasley held back her tears and gave them both a big hug and kiss. "Harry, Hermione!" she ran over to them and did the same to them too, as if they were her own children.
Draco had never had an experience like this before. He stood off to the side, hurting with in for the lack of parental love in his life. He wiped away a tear before anyone could see that he was crying and began to walk towards the train. "Draco..." he heard his voice called.
He turned to see Mrs. Weasley staring at him with open arms. He stared at her for awhile until she nodded at him. He smiled and ran towards her. As she embraced him, all of his troubles seemed to subside, and he let his tears run out freely. "Any friend of Ronnie's is okay with me... just treat him right." Molly whispered in his ear.
"I will mam." he said when she let go of him. The five friends put their things in storage and searched for a place to sit. They came across a compartment holding Neville, Seamus, Dean, and Luna. They entered it and the four friends inside nearly fainted.
"What's -he- doing here?" Seamus sneered. Neville curled up in the corner, avoiding eye contact with Draco. Dean and Luna threw him dirty looks.
"Let's show them what you're doing here, Draco." Ron said with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Okay!" Draco exclaimed and sat on Ron's lap, pulling the redhead into a passionate kiss.
"Disgusting!" Dean yelled and ran out of the compartment, trying not to throw up. Ginny ran after him to "comfort" him, but everyone else knew she wanted to ask him back out. Neville uncurled himself and smiled, happy that Draco wasn't there to hex them all.
"Kind of...odd... but hey, I'm used to odd being friends with you lot." Seamus declared and shook hands with Ron before practicing his silencing charm on Neville for fun.
"I think it's excellent." Luna said proudly. "You two make an adorable couple."
"She's been hanging out with Ginny too much." Harry said.
"I can still think for myself, Harry. Besides, it's true." Luna said firmly.
"She has a point." Hermione said, giggling.
"Not you two! What is this world coming to..." Harry shook his head and leaned on Hermione.
Just then the compartment door opened and four people walked in; Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy, and Blaise. "So it's true then," Blaise asked, "what Dean Thomas was complaining about, Malfoy's gone fag." Very unexpectedly to everyone else, Harry pulled out his wand and hexed Blaise to have purple and green boils all over his face, and he was passed out on the floor.
"Get out of here! And take him with you!" Harry yelled. Crabbe and Goyle, being dumb scaredy-cats, picked up Blaise and ran for it. Pansy glared at Draco before elegantly walking off. "Thank you Harry." Draco said, hugging Ron tightly.
"No problem, what are friends for..." Harry said with a smile. "Hermione, I think Draco's finally proved himself." the boy who lived whispered into his girlfriends ear.
"How's that?" she asked, kissing Harry on the cheek.
"I've been thinking... he presented himself nicely to the Weasleys, he bought Ron something but didn't rub it in his face that he's rich, he won Mrs. Weasley over, and he chose us over Blaise and his body guards." Harry continued kissing Hermione's lips. "Maybe he really has changed..." he finished and started kissing Hermione passionately, for they had finally completely made up.
Draco wasn't allowed at the Welcome Back Feast, instead he had to sit in McGonagall's office listening to all of the rules and agreements that went along with his trading houses. Ron paced worriedly around his dormitory after the feast, waiting for word of where Draco was sorted to.
"Would you SIT!" Harry complained, and pushed Ron onto his bed before lying back down on his own. "Sit?! Harry, I'm too anxious!" Ron screamed. The other boys in the room laughed.
"What if he gets put in Hufflepuff, he's caring enough! Or Ravenclaw, he's so smart..." Ron sighed and continued you. "What if he's put back in Slytherin!?!?!" He stood back up and started pacing again. "They'd kill him!" He stopped as he heard and noise and he looked across the room.
A new bed stood on the other side of the room, and trunks and a bird cage appeared magically.
"Looks to me like he got Gryffindor." Harry joked. "Now can you finally calm down?! I need to sleep sometime tonight!"
A few minutes later Draco walked in the door. "I'm so proud of you sweetie!" Ron said jumping off of his bed and running over to Draco. He hugged him and gave him a kiss.
"Oh yippy..." Dean said sarcastically.
"I'm just relieved..." Draco said almost sadly but kissed Ron and smiled.
"Looks like we're still room mates." Ron confirmed and helped Draco unpack his things before going to sleep that night.
