Ron sat with Malfoy during lunch and dinner. Harry tried to ignore it. But Ron constantly had a gaggle of Slytherins following him for some odd reason, so it was hard to miss him.
And whenever Ron returned from his nightly fly at the pitch he would smell like cigarette smoke. Harry knew Ron could have been right, maybe he wasn't smoking and just smelled like it.
Finally one night Harry decided to go see what Ron and Malfoy actually did. Instead of going to bed he threw on his Invisibility cloak and rushed downstairs to follow Ron.
Ron walked all the way to the broom shed, but instead of getting a broom he went to the side of it.
"Hey, Ron," Malfoy said.
"Hi," Ron muttered.
Malfoy was smoking.
"Oh don't get all pissed because I'm smoking again," he said with a laugh, "Sure you don't want one?"
"I'm sure, Malfoy."
"Oh, you're pissed. Back on last name terms are we?"
"You have no reason to smoke," Ron said, "And you're getting Harry pissed at me."
"Why does it matter? And do I have to have a reason to smoke? I just feel stressed."
"Harry's my friend, or he used to be. I never wanted it to end up like this. Me turning against Harry just because I'm your friend."
"He said it, he said that you had to choose one of us."
"And you automatically felt that I would choose you?"
There was a silence. Harry covered his mouth so it wouldn't be easy for them to hear him breath. Malfoy used his wand to make his cigarette vanish, then he stepped up to Ron.
"Why would you choose Potter over me?" he hissed.
Ron stared him down and replied,
"Because he actually likes me for me. He doesn't befriend me to make his other friends get pissed off, unlike you."
"Go away," Malfoy snapped, "Just leave!"
"Gladly," Ron snapped, then turned on his heel and began stalking back to the castle.
Once inside with Ron, Harry removed the cloak.
"Did you really mean all that?" he asked.
Ron stared at him, then said,
"Yeah."
"So do you regret anything? As in, being Malfoy's friend?"
"Not everything."
"Like what?"
"Like the Slytherin common room, and the beds are really comfortable."
"Excuse me?" Harry asked.
"No, I didn't mean it that way!"
Fin? I know it's not really 'M', but that was just for the languageI guess.
