Chapter 25: Conversations

"You're gonna hurt yourself one of these days Gena, if you keep pulling stunts like that."

"Oh shut up Goyle. Go back to your bluddering mess of a mind." Gena said, cradling her cut hand.

"What happened that you got that?" Draco asked.

Gena glared at nothing. "A stupid owl clawed me."

"She tried to kill it." Goyle told Crabbe and Draco. "She deserves to be cut."

"I wasn't trying to kill it!" Gena protested. "I was just-"

"Attempting to smash it into a wall." Goyle finished for her.

She childishly stuck her tongue out at him. "The bastard deserved it. He's out to kill me."

"An owl's out to kill you?" Crabbe asked disbelieving.

"Yes. An owl is out to kill me." Gena told him flatly. "And if you would please drop the subject I'd rather not explain." Her eyes suddenly gleamed wickedly. "'Sides, here comes Draco's boy toy."

"What?" Draco asked, looking up from his dinner. He looked around the Great Hall but saw no sign of Ron. "Liar." He accused.

"No. Watch the door. I tell you, here he comes." Gena said, pointing to the door.

Draco turned and looked at the door. "Oh yeah. He's walking through righ-" He stopped his sarcastic sentence when none other than Ronald Weasley came walking through the door. Draco quickly turned back to Gena and gave her a questioning look.

She grinned back at him and touched her nose twice. Draco turned back around and watched Ron walk towards his sister and Harry. Their eyes caught each other briefly and Ron smiled at him before sitting down.

"Who's the liar now, by-otch?" Gena asked. (^^; should stop listening to my sister...)

"Piss off, Gena." Draco said good-naturally

"Why that's no way to talk to a lady." Gena said with mock-indigence.

The three boys smirked and looked at each other before turning back to Gena. "Who said you're a lady?" They all said together.

She replied by throwing bacon at them.

Ron and Harry sat in the common room doing their homework together. After going over the same question seemingly a million times, they threw down the quills and agreed to take a break.

They sat in silence and let the usual flow of voices surround them. It was comforting to both boys, in an odd sort of way. First and second years were laughing over something. Fifth years panicking over O.W.L's. Seventh years freaking over N.E.W.Ts. Third years stressing over their added homework from their new classes. It seemed like only fourth years and their fellow sixth years were the only ones with time for fun.

"Let's go for a walk, Harry." Ron suggested after he'd beaten the black haired boy, for the fifth time, at chess. Harry shrugged and stood up. The two boys cleaned their stuff up and placed it in their dorms.

The two boys wandered the halls, chatting, not go anywhere in particular. They would have gone to see how Hermione was holding up if they hadn't been forbidden to visit. So it was just the two boys catching up on whatever little things they'd missed.

They'd been walking in silence for a few moments before Harry asked something that'd been on his mind. "Ron? Why do you like Malfoy so much?" He asked, quietly.

Ron stopped and looked at Harry, who was avoiding his eyes. "Why do I like Draco?"

"Yeah." Harry said with a nod.

"Blood Hell, Harry." Ron said. "You want me to actually tell you why I like him?"

"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to know." Harry said with a bit of irritation in his voice.

"True, true." Ron started to walk again as he thought. Harry walked in expectant silence next to him. Ron got a smile on his lips. "His eyes." He said. "I love looking into his eyes. They're always changing, like clouds. Sometimes they're so guarded I don't know how I could ever see in and other times, they're just so... Open. So full of emotion it just takes my breath away." Ron smiled wider. "And his smile." Ron laugh softly and shook his head. "You can just tell he's up to something by the way he smiles. You can just tell what he's thinking just by the way he's smiling."

Harry nodded and let Ron continue without interruption. It was weird to him, hearing about Draco in this light. He really only ever thought of him as an arrogant git.

"I know he can be a selfish, arrogant git sometimes. But once you get to know him, you really start to understand why he does the things he does. Besides, he's extremely loyal and never does anything outside his own, personal honor code. They're a lot of weird ways his mind works and how he sees things. You just have to get to know him. And once you start to get to know him and show your loyalty, he'll start to show you more of himself." Ron giggled and stopped Harry. "Swear you won't anyone?"

Harry nodded and smiled. "I swear."

"On your honor?"

Harry rolled his eyes. "On my honor." He insisted.

Ron shoulders started to shake with silent laughter. He looked down the hall to see if anyone was around. He leaned in towards Harry and whispered, "He likes to sing love songs." Ron broke out laughing.

Harry stared at Ron in shock. "Malfoy?" He asked, dubious.

Ron nodded his head furiously. "I swear it's truth! He even knows muggle love songs."

"You're lying." Harry said, still slightly disbelieving.

"Harry, I swear to you, I am not lying. He's a sappy romantic underneath his shell."

Harry started to laugh along with Ron. "That's.. That's.." He said but couldn't think of the right word.

Eventually they got a hold of their laughter enough for Ron to say more. "He even has a little kitten. Named him Alec. Treats the damn thing like a baby."

Harry looked curiously at Ron for a moment. "Why does that name sound familiar?"

"I got bit by it and it left a mark that Seamus thought was a hicky." Harry looked at him, confused. "You might have heard the story from one of the other guys. You weren't there the morning after I got it."

Harry nodded. "Yeah. I think you're right.

The boys started to walk again, back towards Griffendor tower. Ron was telling Harry funny little stories about Draco at Harry's request. Harry was finding it difficult to fit in what he was being told with everything he thought he'd known about the blond. It was a little unsettling that he could have known so little and thought he'd known everything there was.

Half way back to the Tower, Dean caught up with the two, and the three walked the rest of the way back together. The whole time they talked about Quidditch and nothing more about Draco was said for the evening.

I'm such a loser... I read my own stories and think "Wow I should write something like that." *bangs head on table* I soo need coffee.
