Comments: Snape finds out about Draco and Ron....uh oh! did most of the chapter very late at night.......
Chapter Five: Snape's good side shows
Hermione smiled all the way to the library as her best friend told her everything that happened earlier that afternoon. So far Ron had told her up to the part when he had the coughing fit.
"After I said hello, I felt this tickle in my throat; you know, my cold. I started to cough, but it got so bad that I had to lean on a chair to stay standing." Ron started to say.
"Yeah, I tried to tell him you were sick, but he practically ran out of Advanced Potions. I got no chance."
"Oh, well thanks for trying. I'm fine now, but it was really embarrassing at the time. After I stopped coughing Draco asked me if I was alright and, well, he really cared how I felt!"
"On first name terms now, are we?" Hermione teased, and saw Ron smile too. The duo walked into the library and sat down at an empty table. Ron sat down across from Hermione so he could see her, and continued retelling his afternoon.
"Then I told him how I felt about him and that I was glad he was on my side. He told me he wasn't on my side, and I felt just terrible. At first I thought he had planned all this just to laugh at me, but then he did something I never even hoped he'd do."
"What? What did he do? Ron tell me, I'm your best friend!"
"He kissed me."
Hermione stared at Ron (who looked extremely nervous) then smiled. "Are you serious? Congrats!" Ron seemed to relax, and continued his story.
"Thanks. Well, after he kissed me we left the library and found an empty class. Then...oh Hermione, it was amazing!" Ron said as if he had just won a million dollars. The boy sighed and looked at his friend, his eyes half- closed, obviously somewhere else.
"What exactly did you do?" Hermione asked quietly, so as not to be overheard.
"Oh Hermione please! We only kissed, but Draco kisses me like nobody else ever has." Ron blushed and grinned sheepishly at the girl across from him. "I didn't mean to say that..."
"Don't worry, I don't mind. I think you and Draco will be happy together." Hermione smiled, but it was a forced smile and Ron knew it. Her eyes were filling with tears as she looked the other way. Ron knew exactly what was bothering her and he felt terrible about it. Hermione had loved him more than anything, but he would never love her back.
"Oh Hermione, I'm sorry. Come here." Ron said. Hermione stood, he chair scraping back on the wood floor. She walked to the other side of the table and slid into Ron's outstretched arms. Hiding her face in Ron's jumper, he could feel her damp, cold, silent tears. He cooed softly to her, slowly rocking back and forth and stroking her hair.
Many minutes passed before Hermione brought her head out of Ron's now soaking maroon jumper. She blushed and started to look away, but Ron's hand stopped her. She risked a glance in his eyes and saw love, but not the love she wanted. "I'm fine Ron, really-" she started, but couldn't go on.
"I may never love you the way you love me, but I will give you something you want."
"Give me what?"
"This." Ron leaned towards the beautiful girl beside him, and let his lips brush against hers. Hermione closed her eyes as the man she loved kissed her.

Draco Malfoy sat in one of Professor Snape's luxurious couches. He had come just a few minutes ago, and was now waiting for his godfather to bring out dinner. He heard the door swing open, and saw Severus, followed by a trolley. At the flick of his wand, the food levitated and settled on the dining table. Nodding towards the blonde, they both took a seat, and started their private feast.
"So Dray, are you going to tell me what this is about or not? You still haven't told me why you were so eager to get to your spare. You asked to talk with me, so talk with me!" the professor said, calling the boy by his pet name.
"Well Sev, I'm happy to say that I'm in love." Draco said smiling.
"Is that so? Congratulations." Snape said, also smiling. "Who is she? Do tell Dray, you know I'll be happy as long as it isn't Pansy." He saw Draco chuckle, and had to laugh himself. They both knew that the boy hated Pansy very much.
"Well, actually, it's not a girl at all. Sev, I'm gay."
"Are you really? Your father won't be happy when he hears."
"You won't tell will you?!?" Draco asked frantically. Lucius was not very forgiving with homosexuality. None of the death eaters were.
"Of course not Dray, I'm not stupid. Actually I brought that up to ask if you wanted to stay with me this summer. If not, at least promise you will if anything gets out of hand."
"I promise Sev. I'll probably come, but I want to get some thing at home first."
"Right. Well then, who's the lucky man?"
"Uh..." Draco had to tell his godfather, but wasn't sure how to say.
"Dray, you can tell me. I would be happy no matter who." Snape said calmly, a smile playing across his lips.
"Fine then, I'll tell."
"Good."
"I...uhh...umm..."
"Spit it out!"
"Ron."
"Weasley?!" Snape asked leaning in, arms on the table.
"The one and only."
"Well that's a shock." Snape said sitting back. "I was expecting at least a Slytherin."
"But your not mad. Your alright with Ron aren't you Sev?"
"With what? The fact that my rich, snotty, pureblood godson will be snogging with a filthy, poor Gryffindor?" Snape asked, one eyebrow raised.
"Yeah, with that." Draco said, cringing.
"If that will make my rich, snotty, pureblood godson happy, then sure, I'm alright with it."
"Really? Sev are you serious? Thanks!" Draco cried as he ran to his potions master and hugged him. Snape yelped in surprise as the usually serious and quiet boy knocked him off his chair. They fell back in a heap, laughing. Snape was sitting upright, while Draco had landed with his back on Snape's knees. He cocked his head to the side and grinned at his godfather. "Hello Sev." Draco said, but a knock on the door brought them back to earth.
"Severus?" Professor McGonagall's voice could be heard from the door way. The two saw from under the table cloth as she made her way to the back of the table. When she found them, her eyebrows raised inquiringly.
"Hello Minerva." Snape said coolly, as if having a sixteen year old boy sprawled across your lap was natural. Even if said boy was trying very hard to suppress a smile, but was failing miserably.
Frowning, McGonagall told Snape that Dumbedore wanted to speak with him straight away. "I'll wait for you outside." She said, glaring once again at Draco.
"Why thank you."
They waited until McGonagall was gone before getting up.
"Sorry." Draco said, still grinning.
"S'okay." Snape replied, matching the young boy's smile. "But you better go back to the common room."
Draco nodded and headed for the door, followed by his godfather. Greeting McGonagall when he got out, Draco turned the corner, but stayed there. He was sure his Professor only wanted to talk about him.
"Severus, what was that about?" McGonagall asked her fellow teacher while he locked his door.
"What was what? Oh, Draco? We were just having dinner." Snape answered off handedly, waving his hand. But McGonagall wasn't going to let this go.
"I ask you again Severus, what were you doing with that boy?" She said, a bit more dangerously.
At this, Snape turned to look at her, looking somewhat hurt. "Minerva! Draco is my godson, not my sex toy. Do you really believe I would do anything to him?"
"He's your godson?"
"Yes. Who did you expect? Harry Potter? Lucius doesn't trust many people, Minerva."
Yes well, I know that!" McGonagall spluttered. "It's just not really the most common scene, Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy tangled on the floor giggling madly. Not one you see every day at least, and I couldn't help but think it Severus. It did look like that from where I was standing."
"I guess. I'm also guessing there is no top secret meeting with Albus?"
"Not with Albus no, but there is someone who wanted to speak with you. He's in my office."
"Alright then, thank you for letting me know. I will be up in one moment. I have one last thing to deal with. It should only take a few seconds."
"Alright Severus, I'll see you in my office."
Draco swallowed; that one more thing had to be him. Professor McGonagall left, as Snape unlocked his door. "Come in Dray, I won't kill you." the man said when Draco stepped out of the shadows. They walked into the room and Snape sat on one of his couches, motioning Draco to do the same. The boy sat next to Snape, leaning on the potion master's side, the older man's arm around his shoulders.
"So Dray, I have a few minutes. Please tell me more of your love life."
"Like what? I said all there is to say. I'm in love with Ron, and he loves me."
"Did you kiss him?"
"My god Sev, you really are the nosiest person ever!" Draco said, smiling. Snape laughed a deep throaty laugh.
"Yes Dray, I am. So...did you kiss him?"
"Yes actually, I did. And I do have to say, for a Griffindor, he's really good." Draco said in a very matter-of-factly voice. Snape's eyes grew wide with the thought, and Draco had to giggle.
"That is truly disgusting young man! I can tolerate you doing it, but I don't need to know about it! Now, go to bed!" Snape said, snapping his finger and apperating to McGonagall's office for his secret meeting.
A/N: yes, Ron's still gay...but he had to do something for Hermione! As for Draco, he seemed close to Snape, so I made them "related"...I put that scene in for laughs only...
