I woke up around 8 PM and sat up. The family was all together in the other room. I heard them talking about me.
"Ma, he can't stay here! How do we know that he's telling the truth?" whined one of the twins.
"Fred, I know he's telling the truth. I just know" I heard her pause "Motherly intuition, you can call it. I don't know; what I do know is that Draco is telling the truth and he's welcomed here as long as he wants, besides You and George don't even live here anymore."
"Yeah, but I do, Mum" Ron cut in.
"And we don't want our little ickle Ron to get hurted by the big bad Slytherin now do we." Again one of the twins said this but I couldn't tell which one.
"Oh shut up you guys!" Ginny chimed in "You know I never really liked him I heard some of the story" Oh shit I thought "Unless he's the best actor in the world... he's not kidding" Ginny said.
"Well, what are we going to do with him" One of the twins said.
"He has a name, George!" Mrs. Weasley said.
I smiled at myself. Wow... who would ever imagine this is insane...
I laid back pretending to sleep as I heard footsteps a half an hour later. Someone nudged me and I sat up.
"Humph..." I fake grumbled.
"Are you all right dear?" It was Mrs. Weasley.
"Yeah" I choked out "I'm fine.
"Well, there's dinner on the table if you want any help yourself." She smiled and went upstairs. "I'm goin' to bed"
I slowly got up. Fred, George, Ginny, and Ron were all looked at me and the food they had on their plates and sneered.
"Wow, How does it feel to go so "low" and come to us? Irony, ah Fred?" George said.
"Oh yes I think so, George. The tide has turned for Mr. Draco here." Fred started.
I ignored them as they all laughed. I didn't care.
Ginny looked at me and smacked both Fred and George in one easy swift motion. Ron spit out his chicken laughing. Ginny turned to Ron "Shut up or I'll do the same to you" Ginny said.
I grabbed some food and put it on a plate. All was quiet. George and Fred said they had to go and they slowly crept out of the room and then out of the house. Ron soon followed their lead and went upstairs to bed.
"Thanks Ginny" Draco said humbly.
"No problem... I heard the whole story. I'm sorry if I eavesdropped but I couldn't help it" Ginny said.
"It's ok" I said. Man was one of those twins right when they said "the tide has turned".
"I never knew someone could be so heartless, I mean I thought you were bad." She stopped abruptly.
"No continue. "I nodded.
"Well, I thought that you were bad, when you picked on Ron and Hermione and Ha-ha-Harry" she barely got the words out wen tears filled her eyes. "Sorry, Draco. I mean, you didn't help their lives get any better at Hogwarts" She waved good-bye and went up to bed.
"Yeah, I know." I mumbled.
I scraped my food into the garbage contraption and put my stuff into the sink. I laid back on the couch. I guess I'm staying here for tonight. I thought about what Ginny said. Although it was fun to pick on kids and humiliate them, Ginny was right. I wonder what would of happened if I didn't harass people. Nah... I'll save that for future thinking. Remembering things like picking on Weasel, Mudblood and Potter bring me back to a happier time... before all of this.
