Draco cleared his throat as he approached Ron, both boys heading towards the Great Hall for breakfast. Ron didn't look at him.
"Ron Ron." Draco quietly called out his name. Ron continued to walk, glancing in his direction. "I need to talk to you NOW."
Ron looked up and down the hall to ensure no one was watching them before stopping. "What is it?"
"Look we need to, um, find someplace private to talk. It's important." He looked as if he was almost pleading with Ron to follow him, as he walked straight past the Great Hall.
Ron did follow him, continuing to make sure that no one was watching them as they went. After a few minutes they arrived outside a door he did not remember being there in the first place. Draco touched the handle, pushing it open. The room was spacious and comfortable looking, and no one else was inside of it. They walked inside quickly and closed the door behind them, locking it.
"Well." Ron said, one hand on his hip, looking quite impatient indeed. The bruises on his face had yellowed slightly, and his cuts were beginning to heal.
"It's Crabe and Goyle, they've found out about some things about us."
"No really? How did you guess?!" Ron looked almost venomous as he pointed towards his own face.
"You know Ron, I had no idea what even happened to you! One day things were fantastic between us, the next day you're face is black and blue and you're not speaking to me! It's not like I sent them after you! They spied on us and they think we are friends, but I told them that I'm just getting inside information from you about the Ministry of Magic."
"And they believed it?"
"I think so."
"I hope so. They told me if I ever tried to talk to you again they would kill me. They don't even give a damn it's you who won't leave ME alone."
Draco's face appeared slightly hurt, and Ron took pity on him for a moment.
"Look I just don't know what we are going to do. If you and I keep things up between us your friends are going to murder me and then there will be no more me to be with!"
"Yes I know. But you see that's just it!" Draco looked like he had just said something fantastically brilliant.
Ron looked at him, puzzled. "What's just it?"
"You see, why I asked you to talk with me was because we are going to have to plan a way to meet without my friends knowing which means YOUR friends will have to know so we can what's wrong?"
Ron's mouth had fallen open.
"So you want to tell my friends that we are together, but you are so afraid of your own friends that you want to hide me from them?"
"No I'm not afraid of them I just just don't want them to hurt you"
"You can't fool ME with that act, Draco. Maybe those block head friends of yours, but not me. I'm not ashamed of myself, I've already told my friends."
It was Draco's turn to have his mouth fall open. "You already told them?"
"Why do you think Harry didn't curse you to bits that night you tried to sneak into my room? Harry has never liked you, but when I told Hermione and him about us, even though they were surprised, they figured if you could care about me someone who you seem to have hated since you were born you must not be too foul a person. So they decided they would at least be civil with you, although, they will not allow you to break rules so severely in order to come see me especially when I was in such bad shape and in need to rest."
Everything was dawning on Draco. People knew about himself and Ron and they were ok with it! Maybe everyone wouldn't be so kind but this was a good first sign.
"So where do we go from here, Ron?" Draco had a look on his face that would make you suppose he had just lost a battle, but gained extreme confidence in himself over the course of it.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, your friends know and and when are we going to tell mine?"
Ron straightened up, a smile spreading across his pink lips. "We we don't have to do it immediately." He took a step towards Draco, unconsciencly licking his lips.
"Yeah not immediately" Draco began repeating what Ron
had said until their lips found one another.
