"What's was up with that sneezing thing you put around your bed?!" Seamus asked as they sat at breakfast that next morning "I went to wake you up and I nearly sneezed my brain out . . . really, Madame Pomfrey said so"

Harry aimlessly stirred his apple cinnamon oatmeal "Sorry Seam. I just wanted some privacy. I'll warn you next time"

"You okay mate? Dean asked

Harry nodded, but no sooner had he put a spoonful of the oatmeal in his mouth Malfoy walked in. He felt the bile rise up and mix with that he had in his mouth. It was disgusting, but yet he swallowed it down.

"Hey Potter" Draco said nonchalantly touching the other teen's shoulder, Harry jerked away and Draco gave him a stern look.

"What gives?" Ginny asked "You two seemed almost like friends yesterday"

"Nothing, okay?!" he snapped getting up to get some more juice

"O . . . kay" Ginny said

"Aren't you going to go after him?" Neville asked

"No, he's been in a bad mood since practice this morning. I don't feel like dealing with that today"

"Oh, hey Gin um . . . do you mind helping me with these potions?" Neville asked. Ron saw that he was looking very nervous as he asked. "If you know, you're not busy"

"Um . . ."

"I'd ask Hermione but you know no one's seen her since yesterday and . . . yeah"

"Oh sure Nev, no problem. How about" she stopped to drink the rest of her pumpkin juice "Now?"

"Sure" he said

"Later Ronnie" Ginny called as they left, not even looking at Harry who was making his way back over.

"Later" he sighed

"Fairy!" Goyle yelled out as Harry sat down

He turned around and went red in the face, then promptly got up and left. His hand was over his mouth and he looked as if he were about to hurl. Ron saw Draco get up and follow him, then got up himself. He'd missed what Draco had whispered in Harry's ear, but whatever it was sent Harry almost running upstairs to the portrait of the fat lady. He kept slipping up on the password, but finally he got inside. Ron right then felt the rage from the night before run through him.

"What are you looking at Weasley?!"

Ron walked slowly over to the blonde "What did you do?" he asked through clenched teeth

"None of your business faggot"

He grabbed him by his robes and pulled him into an empty classroom and pushed him into the chalkboard "I'm hardly the faggot here"

"You'd better leave me alone" Draco uttered shakily "I can ruin your future . . . or what future a Weasley can get"

Ron slammed him again "Fuck you" he hissed

"You could . . . Potty did"

Ron then threw him into the set up desks "You shut the hell up!"

"Potter's weaker than I thought, and you" he panted "Tougher than I thought"

"Harry isn't weak"

"That bitch folded when I threatened to tell his 'not so subtle secret' to the world" he spat standing up "I must say I enjoyed him throughly even though he was a bottom, I need a forceful top . . . You look like a forceful top Weasley"

He looked the lean teen up and down licking his lip's, Ron shuddered.

"How about it?" he asked "Indulge me . . . and your secrets safe with me"

Ron almost seemed like he would do it, he walked slowly up to Draco who licked his lips again and leaned in for a kiss. He was met with a punch right to his nose which sent him toppling back into the desks. Ron dropped onto his knees and took him by his robes again "Fuck you, you're not going to blackmail me!"

"You're making a big mistake!" Draco yelled as Ron let him go and left the room "A huge fucking mistake!"

Ron didn't even look at him, but instead stalked upstair's feeling more superior than ever. Draco watched, hate in his eye's Ron had only reached the front door of their dorm when he felt a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. It was then that he felt unsure that he'd made the right decision.
