Author's note: Thanks to all those who have given such nice crits on this
story so far. No one obliviated Draco's memory. He lost it for other
reasons that will become clear as the story progresses. I can't say more
now because I don't want to ruin the surprise. Aren't I mean. :)
7. Ron
He was in the kitchen eating one of Molly's homemade chocolate chip cookies when he heard the voice.
"Malfoy! What are you doing here?"
He turned to face the voice. It was the mean visitor that had scared him. What was his name again. Oh, yeah Harry had called him Ron. Why did he seem to hate Draco? Before he could ask what he'd done wrong Ron walked up to him and slapped him across the face, hard. His eyes filled with tears and he began to sob.
"What is going on in here," Molly Weasley asked. First she saw her youngest son. Then she noticed the hand print that had appeared on Draco's face. "Ronald Weasley did you hit him. I require an answer young man."
Ron blanched a bit, but he told his mother the truth. "Yes mum, I hit him."
"Why? "
"What do you mean mum. He's Draco Malfoy the bane of mine and Harry's existance. The one who calls Hermione a mudblood when he sees her at school."
"There is no excuse for mistreating a guest in this house Ronald. Now I want you to tell Draco that you're sorry." She said handing Draco a tissue. "Here love dry your eyes love. He won't hit you again, I promise." She turned back toward her son. "Well Ron are you going to apologize to him, or do I call your father at work?"
"I, I'm s-sorry Malfoy."
Draco didn't think he looked particularly sorry, but he trusted Molly. Ron wouldn't hurt him again.
When Ron reached his room he was in a really foul mood. They had been given a spring break from school and Harry had owled him that he would meet him at the burrow, but he'd failed to mention that Malfoy would also be there. He'd been surprised to see him sitting at the kitchen table having an afternoon snack, and when he'd broken down into tears Ron couldn't have been more shocked if Peeves had appeared in a cover story in the Daily Prophet about friendly ghosts. Had the whole world gone mad?
He had a feeling that this would be a very long spring break.
