Summary: AU Draco's surrounded by people who are holding their loves over him. He just wants to find someone to make that possible for him to. But all he has is a shabby tabby cat, Ron. But what if Harry has another plan.

The weekend finished with the boys thoroughly falling for, Ron the human. He was one of them now. Only they realized he was no wizard, he was a cat. But he really wasn't even that now and no non-wizard or witch that was not a cat, toad, rat, or owl could visit Hogwarts. They didn't even have a parent's day like most boarding schools! Although, Mr. Malfoy tended to visit, way too much, Harry drew to the conclusion if anyone found out that he was here they would toss him out. Ron had really no place to go, and he would never make it alone in the human world so soon.

"I don't want to leave him all by himself." Draco whinnied desperately. Blaise stood at the door to the dorms keeping an eye on the scene and on the Minions waiting for them in the common room. They had classes now and seeing as Ron couldn't go to them he had to stay here. To all of the boys' dislike especially Draco. Harry tugged at Draco's robes trying to pull him out of the room. Well sort of trying. But seeing as the two were equally matched neither tugged too hard.

"I know you don't want to but you have to. We're going to be late for potions. You'll see him this afternoon." Harry said in almost a coddling way. Draco and Ron were so close now; Draco hadn't left the room on Sunday so as to keep his kitty company all day. They had strength the bonds they had already made after so many years of being, pet and owner. And even though Harry knew they hadn't had sex yet the love was so strong it hurt Draco knowing that they'd be a part even for such a small amount of time.

"That's forever Harry. Just say I'm sick or something," Draco begged him practically on his knees and he would have been only Harry had a hold of his cloak. "He'll be lonely, and he doesn't understand all this human stuff then."

Harry shook his head, "How long can you pretend you're sick Draco? The longer it takes to leave the hard it will be and someone might come looking for you? We don't want them to send Ron away, or change him back."

The redhead watched them from Draco's bed his feral eyes locked on to his love. He did not want Draco to leave, but he knew that he had to. As his cat he knew that Draco had to go to school it was just something boys his age did. But as his lover he wanted him to stay forever in his arms. "But Harry, I'll miss him."

"He'll be here when you get back," Harry scolded not falling for that sickeningly cute pathetic look, "We. Have. To. Go." Harry dragged him with him to the door. Draco glared down at the floor, why was life so unfair?

"Bye Ron, see you tonight!" Blaise waved the redhead smiled back his eyes not leaving his master for a moment.

"Bye Ron," Harry agreed walking down to the common room with Blaise.

Draco glanced back up over to his lover, "Good-bye Ron," he sniffed softly, Gods Draco get a hold of yourself its only a few hours. But I miss him already. "I love you."

He quickly left the room not noticing the continuous feral look that he had gotten, not knowing that Ron continued to stare at the spot for a good two hours, whereupon he did not hear him softly cry out, "Master."

Twitch.

"Harry, Harry stop," Blaise said as the giggling boy leaned over the desk the blonde saw their head of house shooting death glares at the boy. Not because he hated Harry, Harry was his favorite next to his Godson, but because Harry was giggling in his classroom. That's not how potions were supposed to be. It was suppose to be poised, precise, refined not the funny joke Harry was making of it.

The second reason he was glaring was because his favorite was taking on his own glaring as an art. As he used his knife to massacre whatever it use to be Snape could not tell, and listened to the-most-annoying-voice-ever-to-be-created squeal on about something or other. Pansy was pissing the already upset boy up and Snape could already see tobkects begin to shake.

Twitch.

Harry hiccupped from the intensity of his giggles as they died down and he leaned in closer to see what Blaise was putting into the potion. He hiccupped again his face still rather red from his giggling fest, "Blaise hic mmm…hehe I hic…"

Blaise looked at his boyfriend pointedly and then smiled magically before kissing his nose. The other boy smiled brightly and sat back on his stool putting his pounding head on the blonde's shoulder and sighing contently.

Twitch.

Draco's hand hit the ingredient with the knife more persistently every time. His glare fixed at the front of the room. He was beyond mad, way the hell passed angry and furious he had just passed enraged and going for the full Monty. His potion began to bubble uncontrollably from his angry and even Neville who was at the desk behind him knew it wasn't supposd to do that. It wasn't that Pansy was talking about something that made him upset she was talking about what she had to wear to the party her family threw last Christmas. Going into detail about the shoes, and how long it took to paint every fingernail. No, that didn't really bother him. It was just her being their talking to him like she mattered. While Ron sat up in his room mattering, she was ticking him off because she thought she was his friend, she thought that she could curse his cat and play between his friends. But what really made him made were Blaise and Harry flirting away right in front of him while he had to suffering being lonely with the most frustrating girl in the house, and perhaps the school.

Twitch.

"So what happened to that boyfriend of yours? Oh, wait for you to actually have a boyfriend someone would actually have to fall in love with you." Pansy stated as if it was not the cruelest words on the face of the planet. Shrieks were heard as every potion in the room exploded minus Harry's whose own wandless magic had blocked off Draco's furry. But it didn't block off the objects flying off tables and the ingredients flying out of the cabinets towards their dog-faced comrade. Blaise hardly had the time to grab Malfoy out of the way from his own attack it didn't help that he was standing right by his target and he wasn't really in control of anything that was happening.

Harry pulled the two closer to him as Draco burst into furious tears from having to restraint himself for so long and from the stringing words his potions partner had said. He buried his head into Harry's chest silently soaking the other boy's shirt. Harry wrapped his arms around the two boys tighter holding them closer. He glanced up as the rest of the class was seeking cover or exiting the room.

Snape had to save Pansy from the majority of the attack because he was obviously a teacher and so in charge of them. After which he looked around at the remaining students with a grim look on his face.

"Class dismissed," he growled out placing his hands on Harry's shoulders to keep the three boys there. No one had to be asked twice as they rushed out of the room. "Miss. Parkinson," he said lowly before she quite exited the door as well. "Mr. Malfoy if you please?"

"I know what happened professor!" Harry explained knowing that his best friend wouldn't want anyone to know that he had been crying. Snape glared down at him and then nodded. "Pansy said that no one could ever love him and sir that's just not so." Snape's ice glare landed on the girl who glared right back and walked forward.

"All I asked is where that bloke he was with all Saturday went off to. But obviously he can't handle anything more then a one-night stand. He can never be in a real relationship because he only loves him fucking self and he's the only one who can."

Draco let out a loud strain sob, "It's not impossible for someone to love Draco! It just takes someone with more devotion then you!" Blaise snarled his heart throbbing at his friend's sound. "You fucking little bitch, stay away from him because I swear if you ever think…"

"Blaise," Harry shook his head violently at his boyfriend's efforts.

"Perhaps, we're due for a partner change?" Professor Snape insinuated. "Seeing as you two seem to be so unfocused in class," he nodded to Harry and Blaise. Blaise blushed Harry glared daring him to try and split them up. "Blaise you will work with Draco. Kay, and Pansy you'll work well with Harry?"

"No she will not, Professor!" Harry complained, "All she ever does is try to split the three of us up! She's a nasty flirt and I refused to work with her." Snape opened his mouth, "If you pair her with Blaise I would watch what you eat." He viciously snide the two glared at each other for everything they were worth.

"What do you suggest Harry, because you are certainly not being paired with him for the rest of the year," Snape's snarled partially giving in he really did not want to break Harry and Blaise up or isolate either from Draco.

Harry racked his mine thinking quickly as he possibly could, "I'll work with Neville, and then Pansy and Hermione can annoy the hell out of each other and not us or you. Plus it would cause for less explosion in the class."

"You would rather work with Longbottom, then with Pansy who is much better then Neville at potions. You will probably be spending more time in the hospital wing and you're grade will probably drop."

"I don't care. I don't want anyone treating my friends like that." Snape sighed what could he do if Harry wanted to help Longbottom in class and help his friends, and keep the annoying know-it-all busy then what could he do.

"Gee, it looks like a tornado hit this place," a bright light flashed as a picture was taken. The fourth years were arriving for there class.

"Hey Colin," Harry said excitedly letting go of the boys and rushing to meet up with him. The two had become fast friends in Harry's second year after the boy was revived from spending most his first years as a stone. "How come you haven't come to visit me?"

"I tried to yesterday, but Vincent said that no one was allowed to go in and see Ron. Is there something wrong with the Malfoy cat?" He enquired as he moved over to his desk putting his bag down. Harry followed him over to continue talking as Draco and Blaise spoke to their head of house and Pansy was put on cleaning up the mess.

"Not really wrong per say, but I can't tell you what's going on. Sorry, Colin I would tell, you know I would, its just it could be dangerous to Ron's health." Harry cringed at his bad lie sometimes he was good at it but other times he was terrible at it like now he knew he could trust Colin, he just knew that Draco would be upset if told anyone.

The younger brunette smiled, "Its fine Harry, I don't want anything to happen to Ron, he's the only cat that keeps Crookshanks from messing up everything. You would have never saved Cedric if Hermione's cat had clued the girl in just a bit more."

Harry flinched without Ron the cat around the other animals were going to be changed greatly within the castle, he knew very well that sometimes the animals knew more then the wizards around here. Like how Ron knew Peter when he saw him and for that he was thankful he would have to thank him later.

"So…how are your twin lovers then?"

"They still don't know I exist! Harry I know they're going to leave soon, sooner then they're supposed to and I'd just be heart broken if they left me behind. Besides, George is still with Lee, how am I supposed to compete with that!"

Harry wrinkled his nose, "Well, first thing you have to understand Fred and George are not like other twins, they're like two halves of the same whole, and if Lee can't seem to have both halves then how can he possibly love them. The twins will realize that Colin they have to, eventually they'll come to you. I just know it."

The younger boy sighed depressed, "I hope you're right Harry. Hey how are you and Blaise?"

"I don't know," Harry said softly glancing over to Blaise, "I love him I really do but we've kinda lost the energy we use to have. You remember how we were."

"I think most people are glad that they don't have to worry about whether or not they should open a door just in case you and he decided to use it that hour." Colin said lowering his voice as well

Harry laughed loudly only getting one look from his lover because of it, Draco just rolled his eyes and Snape glared at the wall for it. "That's not what I mean. I mean we sort of taken it for granted. We've taken us, it was so exciting before the two of us in love, but not its just like oh yup I still love him that's good I wonder what there is to eat. Before it was like a thirst-quenching, undying, never ending, I couldn't sleep or eat my body was being electrified I couldn't be away from him, I couldn't get enough, I couldn't keep my hands off of him."

"I said that part Harry." Colin smiled saucily earning a swat from the other boy. "Well, why don't you do something to make it like it use to be? Surprise him or something, because bored old couples cheat."

Harry gasped tears welling up in his eyes at the thought his heart twisted in his chest. It made him physically sick to think about his lover cheating on him. Colin snapped his fingers in front of him. "He's not cheating on you! Not yet!"

"Oh," Harry croaked as he started to hyperventilate. "I…I…" he clawed at his robes they were way too tight.

"God, Harry you're having a panic attack!" Colin patted his back roughly. "It's Ok, just breath in deep breaths in that's it. Just breath there is nothing to worry about."

The other boys, Pansy and Professor Snape glanced over to them as the sudden lack of oxygen and then the breathing exercise made tears rush from his eyes. His friends rushed over to see what was wrong and Harry just buried his head in the crock of Blaise's neck holding onto him like a life line.

"What do you two talk about? One minute he's laughing the next he cannot breathe," Draco enquired as Blaise pacified his lover. Colin laughed nervously giving an innocent smiled.

"Relationships." He sighed as the rest of his class began to file in and the three boys plus Pansy had to leave.

"Shhh Baby," Blaise rubbed Harry's back as they made their way to Defense of the Dark Arts where their next class and Harry's favorite professor and his lover lived well actually they lived in the werewolf's corridors but that didn't stop the bright smiled that radiated off of him when he saw the pair. Technically, in between Double Potions and DADA the Slytherins had a double break. They spent the first half with Snape usually helping clean up Neville's mess and then spend the second half with the other two because the three liked the pair.

Pansy, rolled her eyes in disgusted, as she set up her book to read until class started.

"Hi Harry, how are you?" Sirius asked after the boy gave him a hug which was not always normal usually when Harry was upset or Sirius did something he liked he earned a hug. So he had to ask the youth how he was feeling.

"Everything is so hectic!" He complained. "But, I guess I shouldn't complain because I haven't had anyone who's wanted to kill me yet. And am I going home with you this summer, and can I invite Blaise and Draco over?"

"Yes, Yes of course Harry to all those things," Sirius ruffled his hair smiling brightly. After Harry had found out about Peter, he instead of going to Dumbledore like Remus did went straight to Lucius Malfoy probably with his friends coaxing and he had gotten his name completely cleared. Sirius had never liked his cousins very much but he was starting to reconsider the fact at least the male Malfoys were willing to be friendly. "You look a bit flushed Harry are you sure you're not worse then hectic?"

"He had a panic attack," Draco informed the adults interrupting his conversation with the werewolf. He had been afraid of the fact when he first learned it, but there was just a thing about boys and monsters, so his curiosity won over his fear.

"A panic attack!" the two exchanged looks, "Whatever would you do that for?"

"I didn't do it on purpose Professor!" Harry said giggling Sirius and Draco had to laugh with him. Remus huffed lightly but Blaise was too worried to find this amusing. "I heard something that really scared me."

"Oh, more then Dementors?" Sirius asked cocking an eyebrow at them running a hand over his godson's still flushed face.

Harry thought about this for a long time glancing Blaise over silently. What if he did get too bored what if he decided he wanted to have a little more fun. What if he didn't want him anymore? And that just did it for Harry he started up all over again. Both men were on their feet trying to calm the young Potter down. Blaise backed away he had seen Harry look at him he knew it had to do with him. What had he done? Was Harry mad at him or something? His heart twisted watching Harry as he tried to regain himself; he hated seeing Harry in trouble. He really hated to see Harry in trouble because of something he did.

Slowly the men got Harry to calm down no one noticed the smirking Pansy in the back of the room. He sipped on some water as he rested against Sirius's former chair. Blaise stood over him running a hand threw his hair so maybe Harry wasn't mad at him but it was obviously something that bothered him. Remus and Sirius decided to skip the questions as long as Harry was feeling better they didn't want to start him up again.

"I hope Ron's all right." Draco said allowed earning four, well five but he only noticed four glances.

"Ron, you're cat?" Remus raised an eyebrow. Sometimes the cat would disappear for weeks at a time like normal cats did but that's the way Draco liked it. He didn't want to have a cat that stuck about so much it annoyed him. No, Ron knew just how to be had by Draco. The roamer would laze about the castle or the grounds, the forest chasing mice and warming up to people but he would always, always end up going back to Draco. It was like the cat could sense things about him because whenever Draco really needed something he would show up that or when he really wanted to cuddle up with his master again. Remus really liked that cat sometimes he would slip into his chambers on the full moon days (Werewolves change for three days after all) and cuddle up with him. Padfoot usually couldn't join him because he taught Remus's classes when he was 'sick.'

Sirius laughed, "I don't think you have to worry about that cat, he runs the school. I swear one time I went down to the kitchens for a midnight snack and he had the house elves pouring him cream and tuna."

The hazel eyed man nodded, "Usually it's the owls that are the dominate pets, I've seen a student's owl crawl out an eye from someone's cat once just for looking at him wrong, which I believe was your owl Mr. Malfoy but as a werewolf I can tell just whose in charge in this school. And it's not Dumbledore."

Harry giggled, "Yes, I've seen the bed Dumbledore has set up for Ron up in his office."

The blonde frowned; he kind of missed his cat being a cat now. He wondered if Ron missed being a cat too.
