Comments: I broke my wrist when a horse kicked me on Saturday so my writing is pretty slow (one hand) that's probably why it took so long to write this chapter :S
Chapter Three: The Forbidden Tape
It was 4:30 when Draco Malfoy found out. He had been curled up on one of the leather chairs working on Advanced Potions when Blaize caught his eye. He watched Blaize leave and look at him once more before closing the door. Malfoy knew instantly that he should follow, but lowered his head towards his work once more. Almost thirty seconds passed until Malfoy stood too. Telling Crabbe and Goyle to stay and that he was just going to get a treat from the kitchens. He shut the door and faced Blaize.
"Alright, now what do you want?" Malfoy asked suddenly. "I told everyone I had gone to the kitchens and I can't be gone too long. I may even go to there anyways."
Blaize shook his head and smiled. He wasn't going to tell that soon. He grabbed Malfoy's arm and started to walk, and motioned Malfoy to do so as well. 'Fine,' thought Malfoy 'just as long as I don't have to talk to Potter!'
They walked up to the third floor and, after making sure they were alone, entered an empty class room. Blaize ventured behind the desk and picked something up. To Malfoy, who was still at the door waiting impatiently with his arms crossed, it looked like a pair of binoculars. As Blaize fiddled with one of the knobs, Malfoy saw that it was like the binoculars he had used at the Quiddich World Cup. Blaize stopped playing with it and walked back to Malfoy. "Watch." Was all he said, and left the room.
Malfoy was confused, but stuck his face into the gadget and pressed a button that started the recorded moment.

A/N: The rest of the chapter is going to be a flash back to the night when Ron told everyone he was gay. It explains what happened after Harry left.

"Hermione, Fred, George, I think you should get back in here." Ginny said after poking her head out from behind the door to the boy's dormitory. "Apparently Ron didn't tell you everything."
George, still glaring at the door nodded curtly and they stood up. Hermione unfolded her arms, but still looked pale as ever. Fred almost ran into the room; it seemed he was determined to cheer Ron up. Ginny opened the door and they came in to sit near Ron. Hermione on his left, Fred on his right and George leaning against the wall. Ginny shut the door after them and, much to Hermione's dismay, managed to squeeze between her and Ron.
"OK Ron. Spill! What was so important that you didn't tell us?" George burst when Ron made no move to give the information freely. Ron looked up at his brother, opened his mouth and closed it again and swallowed.
"Ron, you have to tell them. You can't hide forever. Their your family and Hermione's your best friend. You need to tell them." Ginny cooed softly. She held his hand and smiled encouragingly.
"I-I...umm...I...like..." Ron trailed off muttering to himself.
"Who?" Fred asked.
"..."
"Who? I can't hear you."
"Malfoy."
"What?!?"
"Malfoy!"
-- -- --
Malfoy's jaw dropped as far as it would possibly go. He let the binoculars clatter to the ground as he slumped into the nearest desk. Many thoughts rushed through Malfoy's head. 'That's impossible. Blaize must have charmed it to say those things! But what if it was true? Does Weasley really like me? He did stare at me funny when I punched Potter, but I just thought he was stunned at what I did. What if he loves me? Could someone love me? I-I hope so...'
Disgust overcame surprise at this thought. "What am I saying? I DON'T love Weasley and I DON'T hope he loves me!"
Malfoy looked around angrily and saw the clock. 4:57. He had been there for almost half an hour! He lunged for the door, wrenched it open, and raced to the dungeons.

It was three days since Malfoy had found out about Ron's secret feelings for him. Every time they were in the same class, Ron's ears went pink and Malfoy was suddenly very quiet. He was suddenly very interested in what the teacher had to say (even if the teacher wasn't talking). Malfoy's friends weren't the only ones to notice the change either. Hermione had seen him go red when he met Ron's eyes. Finally she couldn't take it any longer. After class, she stayed behind and followed him.
"Hey Malfoy! Wait up a second, we need to talk." She yelled after the blonde Slytherin. She saw him cringe and turn to see her waiting. He said something to everyone around him and left to talk. "Come with me." She told him when he got closer to her.
They went down a corridor and Hermione stopped. "OK Malfoy. Spill. What have you heard?"
"Nothing..."
"Bullshit."
"Well, someone did let me watch a video of something..."
"What Malfoy?!? Christ! You have to tell me!"
"No."
Slap! Hermione hit Malfoy's right cheek. He lifted his hand to touch it and looked at Hermione in awe. No one had ever dared hit him before. She was breathing heavily and frowning at him. When she spoke next, it was shakily. "Tell me what you saw."
"I saw Weasley talking to you about...about...me." Lowering his head in defeat, Hermione gasped. He looked at her face again and said in an almost whisper, "please don't tell anyone."
What Hermione saw surprised her. Here was Draco Malfoy, looking at her, Hermione Granger, with complete trust. 'He almost seems human.' Thought Hermione. She shook her head. Now was not the time. "Alright. But can you do one favor for me?"
He nodded.
"Talk to Ron."
A/N: I did it! Now officially Ron/Draco slash! Yay! runs around yelling
