A/N Hey guys. I think Ron is going to start talking to Harry in this one. This is also in HARRY'S POV! I sort of switched main characters. But I think it will go back to Ginny after this one. Anyone willing to be my beta-reader just review and ask.
Thanks to all my reviewers, I love you all.
After the Ball, I walked Pansy up to the Slytherin house to say goodnight. As she went in, Malfoy came out. I started to walk away.
"Uh Potter, come here," he said nervously. I never heard Malfoy nervous before. There must have been a good reason for it, so I turned around and asked,
"What?"
"Well, actually this is Ginny persuading me to do this, I would not have ever done this on my own will just…" he babbled.
"Your gibbering Malfoy," I smirked. Malfoy glared.
"Anyway, I say we should have a truce to tolerate each other, for Ginny and Pansy's sake I guess," said Malfoy.
"Wow Malfoy, never thought you could care about anyone to do such a thing," I said, as a half insult, half compliment.
"Well? I don't want to stand out here all night with you Potter," Malfoy said.
"Sure, for Pansy and Ginny's sake," I answered, and held out my hand for him to shake. He took it quickly, and let go quickly.
"See you later Potter," Malfoy said as he went into his common room. I walked back to my own, thinking that it must be some kind of joke; truce just wasn't a word in Malfoy's vocabulary.
As I stepped into the Gryffindor common room, it was pretty much vacant, except I saw a clump of fiery red hair sticking up from behind a chair.
"Ginny?" I asked, thinking about what Malfoy just said. It would probably interest her.
"No, it's Ron. Come sit down Harry," Ron's voice came from behind the chair. I took of my dress jacket and sat down beside him. His face looked blank.
"I was waiting for you. At first, I thought it was a joke. I didn't believe you. But when I saw you tonight…" he started.
"Thought what was a joke?" I asked.
"You and Pansy. But when I saw you tonight, with her, you looked so happy, and I felt like a total loser for getting mad at you for it. It's just like with Ginny. I saw her and Malfoy tonight, and they looked happy. Even Malfoy. So, I have some apologizing to do, so I started with you? So, do you forgive me?" Ron asked, with a small smile on his face.
"Yeah, 'course I do Ron, you're my best friend!" I smacked him friendlily on the shoulder. He grinned, and so did I.
"I'll talk to Fred and George if you'd like," Ron offered. I nodded.
"I'm going to bed, are you coming?" I asked, standing up.
"Not now, I'm not tired, see you in the morning Harry," Ron said.
"See you," I answered. I climbed up to my dorm, and fell into bed.
"Hey Pansy," I greeted my girlfriend. It was the next day; I slept all through the morning and now, late afternoon, i finally got dressed and went down to find Pansy.
"Hey Harry, what's up," she said, kissing me.
"Hold on," I kissed her again. She giggled, but kissed me back. I heard barfing noises in the background. I broke away from Pansy reluctantly and looked around. There was Ron and Hermione, Hermione smiling and glaring at the same time, if that's possible, and Ron making the gagging sounds.
"Shut up," I said, smiling. Pansy smiled as well and wrapped her arms around my waist and put her head on my chest. I rested my hands on her back.
"Hi," Ron said, grinning, approaching Pansy and I, "I believe we haven't been properly introduced. I'm Ron Weasley," Ron nodded to Pansy. She stood up straight and I saw her smile widen even more.
"Pansy Parkinson," she answered, sticking out a hand. Ron shook it.
"Well, we're heading up to the common room, you coming Harry?" Hermione asked.
"In a bit, see you there," I answered, smiling. They both nodded and walked away. Pansy watched them leave and turned to face me, grinning like a pixie.
"Ron and you made up?" she asked.
"Yup," I answered, kissing her on the forehead.
"That's wonderful!" Pansy said. I nodded. She smiled mischievously.
"So, wanna make out," she winked slyly. I grinned. How did I know that was coming?
"Sure. But do you want to come to my common room with me? There is beds in there!" I asked. Her smile faded.
"Won't I be, like shunned out of there, seeing that I'm a Slytherin," asked Pansy.
"Malfoy comes in with Ginny a lot. He gets some scowls, but that's about it, and everyone hates Malfoy," I emphasized on the 'everyone', "And besides, if they do anything to you, I'll beat the shit out of them," I added, making her laugh.
"Alright, let's go," I took her hand and I led her to the common room. We went through the portrait hole and found Ron and Hermione sitting with Malfoy and Ginny.
"Hey Pansy, hey Potter," Malfoy said as we sat down. Ron raised his eyebrows.
"Hey Malfoy," I answered, putting my arm around Pansy.
"You got a letter Harry," Hermione passed a piece of parchment to me. It was from Sirius, replying to my last letter, confirming me as his best man.
"Thanks," I answered as I took the letter from her hands. I unfolded it. It read;
Harry-
I'm glad to hear you will want to be my best man. Actually, I'm ecstatic. We're planning to have the wedding after your birthday. And then we will go on our honeymoon ands be back before we send you and Draco off to school again. I'm working on the custody papers, I'm sure it will be easy. Narcissa and I decided to live in Malfoy Mansion, seeing that it is a very large house, and we know that you and Draco aren't the best of friends, so it will give you both space while you are getting used to your new family. Anyway, about the adoption, I'm quite certain, that (no offense) your Aunt and Uncle will sign them straight away. But, seeing that I'm marrying Narcissa, I was wondering if you would like me to put her as your adoptive mother? Of course you can keep Potter as your last name, because I'm sure you like that better than Harry Malfoy or Harry Black, but Narcissa will be overjoyed if you would like that. Give it some thought. Talk to you soon,
-Sirius
"Ahhh!" I jumped up, just realizing something.
"Malfoy, Sirius is adopting me, and your mom and Sirius are getting married!" I said loudly to Malfoy.
"Yeah… so?" he asked, as though questioning my sanity.
"That means we're going to be brothers!"
(A/N How I'd love to leave it here as a cliffie, but I won't.)
Malfoy jumped out of his seat as though he received an electric shock.
"Ahh! Your right! Oh my god," he gaped at me.
"Well, duh you guys, how stupid are you?" Hermione sighed. Malfoy and I both turned to face her.
"What?" we said together.
"No wonder Mione is at the top of the class and you two aren't," Ginny commented.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked Hermione. She rolled her eyes.
"I thought it was obvious!" she answered, exasperated.
"We got to do something Potter, I don't want you as a brother! No offense," Malfoy added, as an afterthought.
"None taken, but what can we do? They are in love, Malfoy," I added, sitting back beside Pansy. She put her hand on my leg.
"You guys, this is crazy, you are going to be in the same family, at least call each other by first names! It's crazy listening to you two talk to each other using each others last names!" Pansy exclaimed.
"We're not going to be in the same family Pansy!" Malfoy said sharply.
"Face the facts Malfoy, sorry Pansy, habit, Draco, we are going to be in the same family," I said. Malfoy opened and closed his mouth many times, and finally said,
"Harry, what does Sirius say in the letter?" I opened the letter again and read the letter to everyone. After I was finished, I looked around at everyone's facial expressions. Pansy was biting her lip, staring at me. She smiled as I looked at her. I smiled back and looked at Ginny. She was smiling at me as well. Draco was staring at his hands, frowning. Hermione was staring at Draco with raised eyebrows. Ron looked blank. Draco was the first to speak.
"My mom wants to be your mom too?" he looked up at me.
"It doesn't say that exactly, but, yeah I guess," I shrugged. He shrugged as well. Hermione looked away from Draco and at me, smiling like Ginny.
"Aren't you excited that Sirius and Draco's mom are trying to adopt you Harry?" she asked.
"Well, it's better than living with the Dursley's I'll tell you that much, I'll just have to get used to the fact of having you Draco as a sort of brother," I declared.
"I can let you know that it will be different, having you in the house," Draco looked at me.
I wondered if I was the only one who was wondering if it was weird that I wasn't as worked up as I thought I would have been. Nor, surprisingly enough Draco wasn't worked up either. Maybe it was just shock. As Pansy put her head on my shoulder and tangled her fingers with mine, I looked around at our little group. I was the only one who noticed that Ron was gone.
A/N ooh where did Ron go? I was planning on this being loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong but I really wanted to get this out so you wouldn't complain. This chapter is called What's my age again? By blink 182. I'm using this song title because it sort of explains Harry and Draco's stupidness for not realizing that they would be brothers. Review please!
