XXX (Later that day)

Bill and Ron took a stroll, catching up with each other. Bill had been away from the family for so long and Ron had been at Hogwarts so they hadn't seen much of each other.

"So, how are you really? I know you're putting up a tough front for mom and dad. You really loved Fleur."

Bill nodded. "I thought I would marry her," he replied softly. "I will be better, but it will take some time."

Ron looked seriously into Bill's eyes. "Be careful of Malfoy won't you?"

Bill chuckled. "I assure you, as lovely as he is, Draco Malfoy is far from my idea of a lover." He might make a good friend, was thought but not spoken aloud.

"I'm glad to hear it."

"Come on. Let's take a swim at the pond," Bill suggested.

Ron agreed and they made their way down.

They reached the bank just in time to see Draco Malfoy's pale, lithe, and completely nude body perform a perfect dive into the water. Ron froze, watching as Draco emerged from the water, shaking droplets from his hair.

"Actually, I just remembered some urgent Order business I need to discuss with father. I'll leave you to it." Bill pat Ron on the back before leaving.

Ron frowned as he noticed Draco's expensive, designer clothing folded neatly on the river bank. Grinning impishly, he snatched the items.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Ron turned to face Draco. "Do what?" He asked innocently enough.

"Take my clothing. That's what you were doing. Don't bother denying it." Malfoy put a hand to his hip. During his speech, he had waded to water that lapped low against his hips.

"Why shouldn't I?"

"Because..." Malfoy stalked closer, the water moving dangerously lower on his body, "Then I must retrieve them from you like this."

As Draco approached him, Ron felt as if he had been hit with Petrificus Totalus. He couldn't move, except for his traitorous eyes that roamed the uncharted territory that was Draco Malfoy.

When Draco touched him, he was suddenly mobilized. He practically threw the clothes at Malfoy.

"Put your clothes on."

Draco shifted his weight lazily. "Mmmm...I think not. I feel like swimming a bit more. Care to join me?"

"No."

"The water's so refreshing. Come on," Draco petulantly ordered, hands moving to unbutton Ron's pants.

Ron immediately put his hands to Malfoy's wrists.

"Don't."

"Ron..." Draco called him by his first name to get his attention. "Swim with me."

"You're such a spoiled brat! You will keep bothering me until I agree won't you?"

"Yes," Draco smirked, stepping closer. "So take off your clothes and get in the water."

"It's not going to happen," Ron leaned in to whisper in Draco's ear.

Draco was surprised by the pleasurable sensation of Ron's warm breath against his ear. He pouted and contemplated what action to take.

Suddenly, he leapt onto Ron, shoving him into the pond.

Ron spat water out of his mouth when he reached the surface. He pulled himself on the shore, his clothes sopping and sticking to his body.

"I'm soaked! Malfoy, you're such an arse!"

Draco took on an "innocent" expression. "Now you will have to take off your clothes and let them dry. In the meantime you can swim with me."

Ron sighed in defeat. "Fine Malfoy. You win." He began to strip.

Draco paid rapt attention as Ron slowly divested his clothing and his body was revealed. His skin looked so warm, all golden and freckled. As Ron's hands moved his boxers down to his feet, Draco couldn't help staring.

"Is that why Weasley's have so many children?" Draco's voice was slightly huskier as he appraised Ron's prick.

Ron felt his body blush. He had been constantly told that he was well hung, but coming from Malfoy with that intense expression on his face...Ron couldn't understand it, but it was different.

He stepped into the water to avoid further scrutiny.

Struck with an idea he said, "Swim under the water and follow me."

"Why?"

"You'll see," was his response as he dove underwater.

They swam down low and through a rock tunnel, until they broke the surface of the water and were in a cave. They pulled themselves out of the pool of water and walked along the tunnels.

"This is beautiful," Draco murmured as he put a hand to crystals growing on the walls.

"Yes." Ron paused. "I brought you here so we could talk without being interrupted.

"Oh?" Draco raised and eyebrow as he stepped closer.

"How long do you plan on bothering my family?"

"Until you complete the simple favor that I asked you to."

"I already told you I wouldn't. Why don't you find someone else?" Ron suggested.

"There is no one else. Don't you think I've gone through all my options? Besides..." Draco touched Ron's shoulder. "It would be a bit more enjoyable than fighting."

Ron slid his hands down to cup Draco's smooth, round backside. He grinned at the shocked expression on Malfoy's face.

"Hmmm...I don't think your arse is quite nice enough."

Draco looked appalled. "My arse is lovely! You are lucky I even offered it to you."

Ron couldn't help a smirk. He could feel Draco's interest in their proximity stirring against his thigh.

"You'd be lucky if I accepted your offer."

He turned and dove back into the water.

Draco followed him.

XXX (Bill)

Bill smiled as he observed the two youths in the water. He knew that Draco felt something for Ron.

If it was just about shagging, Draco could have found another classmate or a prostitute, but he still insisted that Ron take his virginity.

As Bill entered the house, he heard voices from the kitchen.

Remus Lupin was in the house.

Bill vaguely knew Remus from the Order of the Phoenix. They talked together a little at the meetings. Since Sirius's death, Remus had requested every mission that was away from Grimmauld Place. Sirius's death/disappearance was still devastating him, especially since the two year anniversary of the incident had just passed.

Remus appeared tired and more withdrawn than usual, but greeted Bill pleasantly enough.

"It's good to see you again Remus," Bill spoke sincerely as he shook the other man's hand.

"Bill, you must convince Remus to stay with us for dinner," his mother persuaded.

"But I couldn't impose on you and your family Molly," Remus protested.

"Don't even try to argue with her," Bill said with a grin. "She'll bully you into getting her way."

"I do not bully anyone William," Molly replied sternly.

Remus's dry chuckle of response sounded well out of use. "Then I shall stay."

Bill flashed him a smile. "Good."

XXX (Ron and Draco)

Ron's clothing was still a bit damp, but he put it on anyway. He didn't know how much longer he could stand to be around a naked Malfoy. It was kind of disgusting if he thought about it, someone he hated being aroused by him, and he had to admit, he could see more than a little appeal in Draco's body.

Draco didn't seem to notice Ron's haste in dressing until he realized that Ron was heading up the hill and he only had pants on.

"Wait for me Weasley!" He commanded.

"I'm sure you can find your own way Malfoy."

Draco watched Ron's back as he disappeared over the hill, wondering if any progress had been made.

XXX (Malfoy manor)

"You incompetent idiot!" Lucius Malfoy backhanded the wizard in front of him. "I gave you a simple order! Tell me, how could you lose track of one boy?"

"I'm sorry sir, it won't happen again," the figure groveled.

Lucius looked down with unimpressed eyes. "It shouldn't have happened in the first place. Redeem yourself by finding him."

The servant babbled reassurances that he would before apparating away.

Taking a sip of brandy, Lucius said to himself, "Where are you hiding Dragon?" In annoyance he flung the glass against the wall, smirking as it shattered into a million pieces.

XXX (TBC)

I thought this chapter seemed a bit awkward, but I decided to post it anyways. I was thinking of doing Remus/Bill as a sidestory, but I don't know if people would like it or not, so advice is needed! Hope you liked it!
