Author's Note: blah blah blah, all the J.K. Rowling stuff. Oh, Ron and
Harry are NOT having a relationship. Its just the way I portray their
friendship. Open and overly caring, cause, umm, that's they way my
friendships are? SO I'm sorry if innocent loving friendship is new to
ya.... maybe I'm just weird.

Harry woke up next to his best friend who was snoring softly. At some point in the night they had managed to crawl back to bed half asleep. Harry slowly and quietly pulled out of the sleeping boy's hug, pushing him self out of bed. Harry walked over to his bed, finding his glasses on the table. Harry changed into his robes for school. Harry ran his fingers through his hair trying to tame it a bit.
"Blargh.... Mondays...", Ron yawned behind him. Harry turned around to see Ron already putting on his shoes.
"Didn't hear you get up. Yeah, Mondays , well, Monday mornings are always hard. But Mondays do make up one seventh of our life you know." , Harry replied, smiling sleepily.
After meeting up with Hermione, the trio walked down to breakfast. Just as Ron was piling bacon onto his plate, Hermione saw something odd.
"Have you guys noticed what's happening over at the Slytherin table?", Hermione asked, inclining her head in the direction. Harry and Ron looked up to see. All of the Slytherins were as far over to one side of the tables as possible. All except one, who was sitting by himself, all the spaces around him empty.
"You guys, its that Draco?", Hermione asked. All they could see was blonde hair, who ever it was that was bowed over the table.
"Couldn't be...", Ron said, scanning the rest of the table. The trio watched attentively as Professor Snape walked over to the huddled form.
Snape taped whoever it was on the shoulder as he sat down by him. The trio's eyes widened in surprise as they saw Draco's face appear as he began talking to Snape. Their conversation was brief and ending with Snape squeezing Draco's shoulder before walking off back to the head table to watch over breakfast. Glaring at students as usual.
Harry had to make himself turn away and began staring at his empty plate instead of Draco. Harry listened in as Ron and Hermione swapped guesses about what was going on. Harry looked around the Great Hall, studying all the different house tables and students. He noticed several people were interested in the goings on of the Slytherin table. Looking up at the Head table, Harry jumped in surprise as his eyes met Dumbledore's calm gaze. Dumbledore nodded as him, smiling sadly. Harry smiled back, inwardly wanting to scream at Dumbledore to do something. To make things right again. Harry turned away before Dumbledore could see the anger in Harry's face.
Up at the head table, Dumbledore noticed the quick flash of emotion on Harry's face.
"Dumbledore?"
"Yes, McGonagall?"
"I know Draco Malfoy isn't my student and its none of my business. But what are we going to do about this?", she asked, motioning down towards the Slytherin table.
"I'm having a talk with Snape about it as soon as possible. Don't worry.", Dumbledore replied, putting his fork down and standing up. "Now if you'll excuse me. I've suddenly lost my appetite." , Dumbledore said, smiling at McGonogal before walking off. He dared one more glance as Harry before exiting the hall.

Draco sat alone at the table, trying not to notice the other Slytherins. Draco sighed, resting his hands in his lap. Draco went over what Snape had said to him. He needed to meet him for a conference at lunch. Easy enough, better than coming back here only to be ignored. Draco pushed his plate away, ignoring the untouched food. Standing up, he gathered his books and papers into his bag before turning to leave the Great Hall. He hadn't taken more than five steps when a second year "accidently" tripped him. Draco snarled at her , stumbling, trying to ignore the laughter. He made a mental note of the girl's face before walking off, fists clutched by his sides. Draco went to march out of the Great Hall ,but before he could, some one bumped into him.
Hermione fell to the ground along with Draco, dropping her back and landing rather hard on her butt.
"Sorry Granger, didn't see you...", Draco began, not even wanting to say some smart ass remark. But before he could finish his apology, he was cut off by two forms stepping around him to defend Hermione. Draco looked up from the ground to see Ron and Harry looming over him. Fearing a fight, Draco quickly began to try to explain.
"Really, I swear I didn't see her there. Please don't..."
"Its ok Draco, I'm fine.", Hermione broke in, gathering her things together. Ignoring the other two, Draco began helping Granger pick her things up, muttering apologies. The girl looked up at him, tucking her hair behind her ear and smiling.
"Really, it was an accident...", Hermione said, taking Ron's offered hand to stand up. She brushed her self off, smiling at Ron with a hidden message in her stare. Suddenly a hand was in front of Draco's face , confusing him before he realized what was going on. Draco took the offered hand, eyes widening when he realized it was Harry's after being pulled up. The trio walked towards the door leaving Draco behind before Hermione stopped and turned around back to Draco. "Well? Aren't you coming? We have Care of Magical Creatures today first thing together. Might as well head down."
"Yeah, come on Malfoy.", Harry said, smiling back at him.
"Umm, ok.", Draco said , a confused expression on his face causing Ron to laugh. Draco walked along with the friends down to Hagrid's cabin.
