Unexpected Changes

Most action is weak; all talk is feeble. I don't let words rule me. I do not sit idly by as some search for words. I get up and take action. This action is powerful and fierce. Join me and have your actions mean something.

Ron leaned against one of the trophy case, and stared at Draco, who was smirking at him.

"What you say Weasley, no Granger or Potter? Just you and me."

Ron shook his head and asked, "Why the bloody hell do you think I want it just to be you and me?"

"Come on Weasley, I know you want to do this," Draco told him, circling him.

"Sod off Malfoy," Ron responded, pushing Draco away.

"Oh I'm sorry," Draco said sarcastically, "I thought you weren't an uptight prissy Weasley."

"I'm not!" Ron yelled.

"You're just like Percy," Draco told him as the former headed for the door. Draco knew he had said the right statement. Ron was putty in his hands now.

"Fine, I'll do it," Ron said quietly. "One condition though."

Draco faced him with a smirk and asked, "What is it?"

"Hermione and Harry can never find out about this, and it can only be us, none of your bodyguards."

"Deal Weasley," Draco told him, extending his hand.

Ron looked at the hand with eyebrows raised. "I'm supposed to believe in your handshake?"

"Fine, what do you want to do?" Draco asked with a sneer.

Ron brought his wand to his hand, and made a small puncture wound. He showed it to Draco, and then Ron spit in his hand.

Draco looked at him disgusted and asked, appalled, "Are you serious?"

It was Ron's turn to smirk. "Dead serious, you can't get out of a blood and spit pact."

"This is barbaric," Draco muttered as he also made a puncture wound in his hand. He hesitated and whined, "Do we really have to spit?"

Ron nodded, making Draco groan. He spat and extended his hand. Ron took it hungrily and said, "If anyone finds out about this, I'm going to kick your ass."

"Relax Ron," Draco told him casually. "Everything is going to be fine. And your little Mudblood girlfriend will never find out."

Ron grabbed Draco, and pushed him against the wall. "First off, don't ever call Hermione a Mudblood again. Second off, she's not my girlfriend Draco."

Draco grinned at him, and pushed Ron off him. "It's no surprise you don't have a girlfriend. Who would want to date someone with nothing in their head?"

"And you would want to date some spoiled little rich boy?" Ron retorted, pleased to see anger rising in Draco's face.

"At least I can afford to take someone out on a date."

Ron snapped. He tackled Draco to the floor, and started throwing wild punches. Then Ron did something completely unexpected. He kissed Draco passionately.

Draco froze in shook, and then returned the kiss. He wrapped his arms around Ron, and let his hand wander through Ron's thick, curly, red locks.

Hermione stood in disbelief and then quickly started sprinting back to the Gryffindor common room. She stared at the fire and thought about what she just saw. Ron and Draco kissing, the thought made her shudder. If Ron had kissed anyone else, she would have been fine with it, but why his sworn enemy? He was really giving new meaning to the old proverb; keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Hermione started giggling, which turned into wild laughter. She didn't care if anyone heard her, it's not like it matter. She wasn't human anymore, and she could probably kill them if they started to annoy her. That thought made her stop.

She was different, and the only way to get back to normal would be to do as Roxanne wished.

Hermione's next Defense against the Dark Arts class had turned out to be more interesting and informational then anyone had expected. Roxanne had bewitched the classroom to look like the forest; therefore she could show her students a spell that allowed them to briefly look through solids items, such as trees. Her reasoning was this way they wouldn't be surprised if someone was going to jump out from behind a tree.

Hermione would have admired this kind of teaching style, if her mind wasn't so heavy with depressing thoughts. After class she went up to Roxanne, and waited for everyone to leave. "I've made my decision," Hermione told her quietly.

Roxanne smiled and said, "That's great. What is it?"

"I'll do, but you have to promise me you won't kill Snape," Hermione told her sternly.

"All right, I won't kill Severus." Roxanne smiled sweetly and said, "This is great. I'll give you your next class assignment now."

Hermione gave her a confused look and Roxanne just smiled broadly. "Your next class assignment is to make an attack plan for an attack against a certain magical creature. You're magical creature is going to be a vampire."

"You just love irony, don't you?" Hermione asked bitterly.

"You know, Severus Snape might be able to help with this project, I suggest you ask him for some help."

"I hate you."

Roxanne got up, and waved her wand. The trees and moss covered ground disappeared, leaving an empty, prison-like classroom. Roxanne winked and said, "Soon Hermione, very soon this will be over."

"I can't wait," Hermione responded spitefully, and stalked away.

A/N: first off, I know some of you will not like the Ron Draco slash. Second off, I will not apologize for it because I do not mind slashs. Thirdly, I would love reviews. Lastly, sorry for the rather long wait, I am very sorry for the wait (and that's the only thing I'm sorry for).
