Hermione decided to have a talk with Ron. She needed to straighten things out between them. Now it was a battle between her and Ron, not Ron and Draco anymore.
She knocked on the door.
"Come in." said Ron
She opened the door and Ron looked up and his face fell, "Oh, its you."
She still held the smile; she knew this was not easy for Ron.
"I just wanted to talk to you about something. About us.

"There is no us, unless I'm mistaken, you made it very clear that there will never ever be an 'us'."
"Ron, don't be like this. I need to explain and you're just making this more difficult for me."
"Then don't say anything at all. It's that easy. I know you and DRACO have a THING and I'm not going to get in the way if that's what your worried about. I may not be as smart as either of you but I know when I'm not wanted and I stay away." "Ron, that's not what I meant. Draco, Draco is someone very special and I want you to see how special he is with me. Everyone else has accepted him, why can't you?"

"Because Hermione, this is not something that's easy for me." Said Ron, he had given up the fury that was building in him. He didn't want to yell at Hermione anymore. He saw no reason to it.
"Then how can I make it easier for you?"
"You can't. Look, Hermione, Draco is someone who has always had everything. He's got power, he's really good looking, he's got the brains, he's got money, who wouldn't want him? I don't blame you."
"Ron-"
"Look, he's everything anyone would want. I understand why you would choose him over me. He even gave Harry back his godfather. How can I compete with that?"
"Ron-"
"You don't need to explain. I'm sorry I was such a pest. It's just so hard for me to see the one person I ever loved go off with someone else. And there's not one God damned thing I can do about it."
"RON, LISTEN WILL YOU?"
He looked up at her in surprised but he also shut up.
"Ron, its not that I chose Draco over you, its that he makes me feel something no one else has ever made me feel. Ron, its nothing against you, this is not a war between the two of us. This is just a change in my life, and I know that Draco will forever mean something very important to me. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, but-"
"There is no 'buts'. Just accept it. There are going to be many other girls out there for you Ron. I'm not the only girl although it DID take you up until our 4th year to see that."
Ron smiled at her. "Your right. I'm sorry though."
She opened her mouth to say that he shouldn't be sorry for anything but instead she said, "It's okay."
She turned to leave but then she turned back "Tomorrow night, my room, everyone's meeting there and don't mention anything about Draco's mother. We've already tried to think of ways to help her but we can't find anything and its just making him feel more depressed."

Ron looked at her for a moment. He looked like he was going to add to that but he just shut his mouth and smiled at her.
After Hermione left the room he made start to the plan. If there was any way he was going to make it up to Draco it would be to rescue his mother. And to make sure no one finds out how it happened, he was going to have to rescue her himself. If he left it up to Draco, Ron didn't put it past Lucius to not use Veritaserum on his own son to find out his mothers whereabouts.
After an hour of planning he hid the parchment he had written away. He was going to have to wait a while to bring about the plan. The problem with this plan was that if he didn't get a chance to do it at the exact right time, he would get Draco into a lot of trouble. And that was not what he wanted, not for Draco, maybe to Malfoy but not to Draco. Ron was glad that Draco was making Hermione so much happier. He thought for a while and realised that maybe, he himself would not be able to make her so happy. He smiled, 'I'm glad at least she got what she deserved.' He thought and fell asleep. Things were going to be okay if he could get the plan to work.
