Ron just couldn't believe it. Harry Potter, his best friend since first term had kissed Draco Malfoy the Slytherin bad boy right in front of him. Of course Harry hadn't known that Ron was there at the time, but still he felt betrayed. Thinking it over he had come to the realization that Harry couldn't be under an ordinary spell, but then what was it? Harry couldn't have done it of his own free will, and no one had come to arrest Malfoy for using the Imperious curse, so what could it be? Hermione would probably be able to tell him, but she was with her parents for the break and therefore unreachable. Who else was left? Dumbledore? Nah, though the older wizard was very wise Ron couldn't see himself confiding his worries to him. He sighed. There was no other option. He would have to get Malfoy alone somehow and confront him. But how? In his present state Harry had become very protective toward the slimy git. Whatever Malfoy had done it was undoubtably very powerful. Even his parents were acting oddly now he thought about it. The first night he was home he'd slapped Malfoy hard across the face and his mother had jumped all over him about it. She had even forced him to tell Malfoy he was sorry even though he didn't feel sorry.

"Hey Ron, what's up?"

He turned to see his best friend coming towards him, a smile on his face. He looks happy, Ron thought to himself, but it's probably part of whatever spell Malfoy has him under. "Hi Harry, not much really. Wanna go to Diagon Alley this afternoon? Fred and George have been waiting to give you the grand tour of their new store."

"Sure thing, just let me get Draco." Harry hurried off.

Draco. Always Draco. What had happened to calling him Malfoy? He sighed. Harry wasn't responsible for his actions. Of that he was sure. He'd have to find an excuse to search Harry's belongings. There had to be something in there that would explain what was going on. The problem of course was how to do it? He couldn't just walk in, open Harry's trunk and start pawing through stuff. Or could he? A plan started to form in his mind. Yes, yes it might just work.
