I still don't own Ron. Or anything else but the plot. Sorry this chapter's so short. I just don't like Draco and didn't want to dwell on this chapter too long. I quite like him as a frog. :D


Just Friends? :: Chapter Right- Draco

Draco walked into the Great Hall to see Hermione and Ron hand in hand. He laughed at the sight, two of the three people he hated most, together. He wondered, although he couldn't care less, how Harry felt.
"Look! The Weasel's gone and got himself a girl! And the Mudblood no less! How does Wee Little Potter feel? Now that his best friends have abandoned him for each other?" He teased, with a smile on his face.
"Sod off, Malfoy!" Harry said. Both Hermione and Ron turned a deep red. Draco took notice of this, "Embarrassed of each other are you? I would be."

Draco was enjoying the torture he was in charge of, "Mudblood could only get Weasley; Weasley could only afford Mudblood." This comment hit Ron hard. He jumped to his feet, "Take it back!" he yelled, his hand on his wand, "You DO NOT insult Hermione in front of me!" Ron lurched at Malfoy. Malfoy was ready for this move, and slid quickly to the left. Ron fell to the floor and slid.

Draco laughed, "Can't fight, can you Weasel?" It was Hermione's turn to get angry. She grabbed her wand, and muttered a spell. A stream of teal light sprayed from the end of her wand and hit Draco. He flew back several feet, and green smoke was clouding any view of him. When the smoke cleared, Draco was nowhere to be seen. Instead of the Slytherin boy, there was a frog.

"Ron!" Hermione ran over to were Ron was laying. He had still not come around. She looked very worried. Harry saw Hermione's discomfort, and helped her carry Ron to Hospital Wing.

Sitting at the House table, Hermione was upset.
"None of this would of happened if I hadn't gotten so upset when Ron kissed me the first time."
"I think, that even if you wouldn't have, Draco would have made some kind of taunt. And Ron would have jumped to your rescue. That's just how Ron is."
"Poor Ron. I wish those things didn't bother him so much."
"He loves you, Hermione. Of course he's going to get upset."
"Yeah, I know." Hermione felt a sense of love towards Ron for wanting to defend her and also of embarrassment. When he got upset like that, it was kind of unnerving for her to see him get that angry.
