And for those of you wondering how long Harry and Hermione were together...never fear! You'll find out in this chappy! I'm glad you all like that Hermione is more understanding about it... but it's that way because she is just happy that Draco doesn't really think all those bad things about her, and it makes her feel a lot better about herself. So... on with the story!!$!$!
"Harry..." Ron said gently waking his friend from a nap.
"Mmmph..." Harry rolled over opened his eyes. "What?"
"I need to talk with you."
"Fine..." Harry sighed and sat up. "About what?"
"What do you think?" Ron laughed.
"I don't want to talk about Draco. If that's all, I'm going back to sleep."
"Fine, then let's talk about you and Hermione."
"What about us?"
"How long have you two been together?"
"Not very long... after Sirius died she comforted me in a way that no one else could." Harry began to explain. "I wouldn't open up to anyone else. All that ever came out was anger. But with Hermione I felt free to cry and let her know everything that was going on in my head. Then two days before summer break she held me, and everything just felt amazing. I looked up at her and kissed her... and we've been a couple since then. I wanted to tell you, I really did. Hermione said it would be a bad idea. She thought you would hate both of us. I thought she was right. I didn't want to loose you, you're the best friend ever. It all seems childish now..."
Ron watched as Harry laughed and sighed. He wanted to talk about Draco but he didn't want to force Harry into it. He needed Harry's help. They were best friends, he needed his acceptance, blessing, and advice. He couldn't handle it any longer. He would burst if he couldn't just announce his love for the blonde.
"Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"Can we please talk about Draco."
"Are you going to try to force me to accept him?"
"I'll never force you to do anything, Harry. I just want to talk."
"Fine. What exactly do you want to talk about?"
"I'm not sure... I just want to feel like friends again. We used to be able to share our feelings. I want you to know exactly how I feel about him, and why."
Harry sighed and faced Ron. He nodded and the redhead smiled. Ron explained just how great and wonderful Draco was. He told Harry all of the crazy feelings that were going on inside of his head and his heart. He tried his best to explain it all while still keeping Harry's attention.
"So, are you going to tell your family?" Harry asked when Ron finally took a break.
"I would love to... but I'm scared."
"You could at least tell Ginny. She'd understand if Hermione does."
"True... but I'm not sure if she can be trusted to keep it a secret. Especially from the twins."
"Well, whenever you're ready. I'll be there for you."
"So you're okay with it now?"
"Ron... I still don't like Draco, but you are my best mate. No matter what you decide, I'll be by your side." he said with a smile.
Down stairs Draco and Hermione were having a similar conversation. Hermione had told the blonde all about her and Harry's relationship. Draco too explained his feelings for Ron, which were nearly identical to Ron's feelings for him.
"Do you think Harry will ever understand?" Draco sighed, laying back on the couch.
"I think he does understand," Hermione said, "He just likes to hold grudges."
"I hope that's all." he sighed again and smiled at Hermione. "I'm so glad that you and I have become friends. You have no clue what it was like only having friends that liked me merely because I was rich. Ron is so lucky to have you and Harry and all of his other friends. You're the best Hermione!" he kissed her on the cheek and they walked upstairs together.
"Hey sweetie." Ron said when he saw Draco enter the room.
"Are we interrupting something?" the blonde responded, seeing that Ron and Harry were sitting on the same bed facing each other.
"No, we were just talking. We're done though, come on in." Hermione and Draco stepped further into the room and made themselves comfortable.
Draco sat on his bed. Hermione sat behind Harry and rested her head on his shoulder. Ron walked over to Draco and laid on the bed, his head in the blonde's lap. "Hey sexy." Draco joked and bent over to kiss Ron's forehead.
On the other side of the room Harry was pretending to throw up. Hermione slapped him lightly and kissed him before embracing him tightly.
"Draco, can we take a walk?" Ron asked, looking up at him.
"Outside?"
"Where else, silly?"
"Well I'm not really allowed out, remember?"
"I trust you. Besides, no one's home. They never have to know."
The two boys smiled and walked out of the room, hand in hand.
When the got out of the House of Black the boys walked down the street, further than the telephone that had used before. They turned onto another street, where a small meadow was. Ron led Draco to the center of the meadow and they laid down together.
Meanwhile back at the house Hermione was laying on Harry's bed, with him on top of her. They were kissing passionately, but Hermione pushed Harry off of her, gently.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked.
"I want to talk to you."
"Okay." Harry laid down next to Hermione and hugged her close to him.
"It's been almost three weeks since you first got here. Why can't you accept Draco yet?"
"I don't trust him, he has got to have a plan up his sleeve."
"Harry, he's so sweet. I really think that he and Ron have a future together."
"He's done too much to us for me to forgive him so quickly. He needs to prove himself!"
Hermione sighed and kissed Harry before getting off of the bed and going to her own room.
"Are you okay baby?" Draco asked Ron, while playing with a flower next to him.
"I'm better than I've ever been in my life. I just needed to get out of that house."
"Ron, would you consider us a couple?"
"Well, gosh... if we're not I don't know if anyone is!" he joked and rolled over to face Draco.
"So then... we're like... boyfriends?"
"Of course! Well... I mean, if you want that title. But that's all it is, a title. No matter what... I'm in love with you Draco." Ron couldn't believe those words came out of his mouth. Draco's jaw dropped, but he recovered quickly and smiled.
"Ron... I love you too, I am so relieved to hear that!" he reached out for Ron and pulled him in closer, engaging in a passionate kiss.
!$!$! Will Harry ever forgive Draco? Will Draco prove himself? Will Ron gain the courage to tell his family? Where the hell is Remus when they need him!?!? Tune in next time to find out!!!!!! lol REVIEW!
