AN: I really hated the last chapter, but it had to be done, gah, and then I put myself in a bind, because now that I've broken them up, I've got to figure out how to put them back together. Ahh, I'm such a loser. Anyway, it's a new chapter and it's interesting.

Ron woke up the next morning, his eyes still puffy and red. He rolled over in his bed, he noticed it was still dark outside and that no one else was awake. He sat up and pulled his covers off of him. He tried to stand, but fell right back on the bed. His mind wouldn't stop replaying the scene in Transfiguration. He thought everything had been going great and then Draco made it all come crashing down. He fell back on the bed again.

'If it really is just because all of the Slytherins won't leave him alone, I'm seriously going to hex every single one of them.' He groaned and tucked under the covers again, to go back to sleep.

A few hours later he woke up again. He sat up and saw the sun outside. He didn't want to get up, he never wanted to see the world again. He just wanted to hide for the rest of eternity. He rolled over to go back to sleep, but instead fell out of bed. Harry woke up at the sound of the fall.

"What are you doing down there?" He asked rubbing his eye.

"It's not like I did it just for the hell of it."

"You know you've been really moody lately."

"What?"

"Moody, you know, kind of like you are now."

"Shut-up."

"I don't even know why I talk to you in the mornings." He walked out of the room without another word.

Ron laid on the floor. 'If only he knew why I was moody. I can't believe he broke up with me yesterday. As far as I know I didn't do anything, of course, I can't expect that we could go far, after all we've hated each other forever, but I thought he'd changed.' He groaned again. 'How could I ever have trusted a Slytherin anyway, he's known for being conniving, a liar, and only in it to better himself, it's as if I was just some toy to him. Hell I probably was. I hate myself for believing he had genuine feelings for anyone. He doesn't even show compassion to those that love him.' Ron tried to conceal himself under the cover.

Harry came in a few moments later and pulled the cover away from Ron. Ron reached up and grabbed his cover back, but Harry pulled on the other end and wouldn't give it back. "GIVE IT BACK."

"Ron, it's time to get up."

"JUST GIVE ME MY COVER."

"Ron what is your problem?"

"I don't ever want to leave my bed again." The redhead said softly.

Harry sat next to Ron on the floor. "Ron, you're my best friend, and I can tell something's wrong. I just want to help." Ron looked over at him.

"There's nothing you could do about it."

"You could at least tell me, then you could get it off your chest."

"That's just it, I don't want to tell anyone. Ever." Both boys sighed and let the subject drop.

"Come on, you can't hide forever, they'll kick you out if you don't come to class." Ron shurgged and tried to get to his feet, but really had no strength to stand up and fell onto the bed again. Harry pulled Ron out of bed and they walked out of the common room.

When they walked into the Great Hall Ron's eyes immediately shot to the Slytherin table and right at Draco, who was smiling and laughing about something. Ron was so angry that Draco could easily move on. Ron's anger built up so much, the Slytherin table cracked in two right where Draco was sitting. The Slytherin boys were stunned. Draco looked up from the broken table and his eyes caught Ron's. They both knew it was Ron's anger that had broken the table. Ron stared into Draco's eyes for a moment and then turned and walked over to his own table.

Draco's eyes never left Ron as he walked to his table. He hadn't even notice the table was fixed until Zabini shook him and what he was looking at. Draco told him it was nothing and continued eating. When breakfast was over Draco made a move to talk to Ron about his anger, but Ron stuck by Harry and walked out of the Great Hall quickly.

They headed down to the dungeons. Ron knew Draco was a few people behind him, but he couldn't stand to look at him. Ron took his seat without even looking around. Harry took his seat next to Ron and noticed that Ron was shaking.

"Hey, you alright?"

Ron took a deep breath. "Yeah. I'm good." Ron felt someone watching him, and he was positive it was someone other than Harry, and sure enough when he looked around he saw Draco's icy gray eyes staring directly at him. They were full more of anger than anything else. Ron looked away as Snape came into class. Snape started his lecture and Ron relaxed.

'I need to calm down, I just can't believe he could just go back to normal without any hesitation. Why am I so hurt anyway? I've hated him for how long now? A month and half and all of sudden everything's alright, that can't be right.' Ron slumped in his chair. 'I wish Snape would just shut up, I mean I'm not even really listening, but god, I can't stand his voice at the moment. I can't even stand to think of anything Slytherin right now. I hate this. I shouldn't feel this way. Oh shit Snape's looking at me, I hope he doesn't know I'm not paying attention.'

"Weasley, do you want to sum up the instructions for everyone who wasn't paying attention." Ron opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it in defeat. "Well, I'm not repeating myself so I hope Potter paid attention, or the two of you are failing today." Ron gave a side-glance at Harry, as Harry gave him a weak smile, which told Ron, he didn't know what was going on either. 'Great.' He looked down at the table and saw the materials where already waiting to be used. "Oh and Weasley, for not paying attention in my class for the second time, 25 points from Gryffindor." Ron rolled his eyes and slumped even more in his chair. He heard some sniggering and looked over to see the Slytherins laughing at him. He saw Draco look at his fellow Slytherins and smile, but when he looked back over at Ron the smile was gone.

Ron felt his anger building up again. 'He's gone back to being arrogant so quickly.' Ron thought hatefully. Everyone started working. Harry and Ron stared at each other, unsure of what to do, they didn't even know what potion they were doing.

"What's wrong Potter, don't know what everyone else is doing? Maybe you should've paid more attention to Snape than your boyfriend Weasel." Zabini laughed out. Draco shot an evil glance back at Zabini, which Zabini didn't see. He went to look at Ron, but something else caught his attention. Ron's anger had gotten the better of him again. The viles shattered, spilling their contents everywhere, some of them even poisonous. The cauldron burst into thousands of pieces. Both Zabini and Goyle were being scratched by what seemed invisible claws. Everyone's attention was on the scene in front of them, including Snape's. Draco snuck out of the crowd and saw that Ron was still in the same spot. He walked over quickly, not wanting to be seen.

"What are you thinking?"

"Shut up and go away."

"Ron, don't be like this." Draco shot a cautious glance over to the crowd to see if anyone was watching. "I told you, it was only for a little while, I promise you, we'll get back together, just give me a week to get their--"

"Shut-up." Ron kept his eyes on the table, never looking at Draco.

"Look at me, you'll see that I'm not lying." Draco shifted, the crowd's attention was waning. "Ron, just please calm down." Draco noticed Ron had quit shaking. With another look over at the crowd, he returned his attention to Ron. "I love you." He whispered. With that Ron looked up shocked at the blonde boy in front of him and saw he was serious.

"I love you too." The redhead whispered back. Draco smiled, but saw the crowd moving and quickly walked back over to his table without another word. Ron sat back on his stool, noticably calmer. Harry noticed it right away.

"What happened, you're calm again."

"Just need a comforting thought." Ron said. He looked over at Harry and smiled. Harry gave him a smile back. Ron sighed and the bell rang to go to their next class.

Both boys stretched. "We no longer have crazy lady, thankfully." Ron said as he grabbed his book. They walked out of the dungeon, meeting the Slytherins on their way out, they stuck up their noses and walked out. Harry and Ron shrugged and followed the Slytherins. "I'm ready for a nap in the common room." Harry laughed and noticed he finally had his old best friend back.

They were on their way up to the common room when they saw Hermione step in front of them. "Harry will you excuse Ron and I?" Both Ron and Harry looked at each other confused, but Harry agreed to leave them.

"So what's up Hermione?" Ron asked curiously.

"What was that with Malfoy?"

"What do you mean?" Ron began to grow nervous.

"I saw the two of you talking while everyone was paying attention to the accident. I just wanted to know, what the two of you where talking about, considering, we are enemies with Slytherins." Hermione was getting way too close for Ron's comfort.

"Hermione, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Ronald, quit playing. You know exactly what I'm talking about, now just quit beating around the bush and tell me. It's not like I'm going to hex you about it or anything. Although, if you don't tell me I may have to put a spell on you in order to find out the truth."

"Hermione, would you just--"

"Ron." Hermione was looking hurt.

"Hermione, it's nothing."

"It is. I know it is. Please, just tell me, I promise that I won't tell anyone what's going on, if it's something that you don't want anyone to know." Hermione gave a heavy sigh, and saw that she wasn't getting anywhere this way. "What is it? Does he have some kind of blackmail on you?" Ron shook his head. "Was he threatening you, because even I know, you were the one that made everything shatter." Ron shook his head again. "Did you do anything to him, that he's still angry about?" An shaken head. "Oh Ron, I don't know anymore, the two of you had some fling." Hermione just smiled at the thought, but when Ron didn't move, he just looked at the ground. "That's it." Still no movement. "That's it, oh my god, that's where you've been running off to, you've been seeing him." Ron continued to look at the ground. Hermione just stood back shocked. "Wow, I never would've imagined you and Draco as a couple."


AN: OMG, someone knows...ahhh what is going to happen now?
