AN: Well the update was late, but I didn't know what was going to happen, so yeah this chapter is long, not as long as last chapter, or the chapters coming, but yeah, it's longer than most of the other chapters. Lucius Malfoy loses his composure in this chapter...ooohhh. So yeah on with the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. I own nothing of the great story, but I do own this fanfiction, it is completely mine.

Ron ran into the Three Broomsticks and looked around for Hermione or Harry, he was panting from running as fast as possible. He spotted his friends in a corner, Hermione was trying to get Harry to calm down about something. Ron ran over to the table all thought out of his mind except of what was Narcissa Malfoy going to tell his mother.

"We were caught." He said exasperated. He didn't care if Harry was there or not. Hermine stared bewildered. Harry went to ask questions, but was interrupted.

"By who?" Hermione asked quickly.

"His mother." He sat in a chair. "She's going to tell my mother." He said.

"What?" Hermione was stunned.

"We were sitting in our corner and all of a sudden she came up and screamed at him and she insulted me, while he tried to convince her otherwise and she said fin I could come over for the holidays and talk with his parents at once, and when he said he doubts that I could she knew that my parents didn't know either and she said she'd contact my mother. What am I going to do?"

"I don't mean to intrude, but...WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"

Ron and Hermione looked over at Harry. Ron finally realized it was tme to tell Harry, there really was no way hiding it now.

"Harry, please don't get upset, but, well, um..." Ron began stuttering and looked at Hermione for help.

"Ron's been seeing Draco for months now." She said blatantly. Ron stared at her stunned.

"Did you have to be THAT foward?" Ron asked.

"Well you were just going to beat around the bush and probably make him even more confused."

"I was not. I just wasn't going to say it so BLUNTLY!"

"SHUT UP, both of you." Harry finally said. Ron gulped and looked over at his friend. "You mean to tell me that you have been dating our worst enemy for the past few months?" Harry asked. His face full of shock. Ron nodded. "What are you thinking?"

"Harry, he's not like what you've seen. He's different." Ron pleaded.

"No he's not different. He's probably just using you for entertainment with his friends."

"He wouldn't have stuck up for me in front of his mother if he was using me for entertainment."

"But...but..." Harry just sat there trying to think of something to say to that, but couldn't think of anything.

"See Harry. I know this is a hard thing to accept, but, please, I do love him."

"What!" Harry stared at Ron in amazement. "What did you say?"

"Harry, I do. I can't help it and hell I'm still not real sure how this even started, but I did fall for him. Please be accepting."

"I will, just give me a year or so."

"Oh Harry quit being so stupid."

"Hermione, think about it, he has terrorized us for years and all of a sudden he begins to be nice to Ron and they start dating and all is forgiven? It doesn't work like that."

"Harry! Ron is your friend, your best friend, you should be happy for him."

"I am happy that Ron has someone, but why must it be HIM, of all people?"

"Harry, I'm not going to fight you anymore about this, but do consider Ron's feelings." Hermione grabbed her stuff and grabbed Ron and they walked out of the Three Broomsticks. Harry slumped in the chair, he reached out and picked up the bag Ron left. A small piece of paper fell out. Harry picked it up and read what it said.

Ron,

I know this has been hard for you. I've gotten mad at you for letting Hermione find out, but I apologize because I know you couldn't help it. I wanted to tell you that I'm not mad and I'm trying to figure out just what is going on me, but if it makes you feel better I would consider us dating. I do love you and I hope you realize that. I got you this gift. I hope you like it.

Love Draco

Harry slumped further in his chair, now he really felt bad. He'd just berated his best friend over something stupid. He got out of his chair and went to find Hermione and Ron and apologize. He now knew just where Ron had been going for so long and why Draco had quit bothering all them. He wondered how upset Draco would be if he found out that he, Harry, knew. He didn't want to get Ron into more trouble with Draco, although Draco topped Ron, because Draco's mother found out instead of his friends. Harry walked along the street looking for his friends. He still had Ron's bag in his pocket. He found them in Honeydukes, knowing Ron hadn't stayed the first time. Harry opened the door and walked into the sweetshop again. He walked over to the two and tapped Ron on the shoulder.

"Here." He handed the bag to Ron. Ron looked nervously at Harry as he took the bag. "I'm sorry for the way I acted back there. I read the note and I realized just how much he does care for you."

"Wait, there's a note?" Ron looked through the bag and found the piece of paper. He tightened the bag again and read the note. He blushed a vivid red, Harry figured it was because he'd read the note too. Ron looked up at Harry and blushed more.

"Sorry." Harry said. "I didn't know what it was."

"It's okay, just wished I would've read it first." Ron replied. He and Harry smiled.

"So can I read?" Hermione asked beside him. Ron looked over at her. "What? I've supported you through out this whole thing and he got to read it. Why can't I?" Ron shrugged, he handed over the paper to Hermione. She let out a soft sigh and said "Awe." When she was done. She looked over at the boys. "It's just so sweet. Don't look at me like that." Ron snatched the paper back.

"I'm ready to go home." Ron took out another Choco Ball from his bag. The trio walked out of the shop. They walked down the street back towards the carriages. As they passed by the Owl Post, they saw Narcissa Malfoy walking out. She looked over at the three, stuck up her nose and walked off. Ron gave a shudder. "I don't like her telling my mother."

"Well if it makes you feel better, I don't think your mother is going to be angry." Harry offered.

"It's not her I'm worried about, it's my dad."

"Why?" Hermione asked.

"My dad absolutely hates Malfoy's father."

"But your dad loves you."

"Yes, but it's going to take some time for him. No matter what I say about Draco."

They rounded a corner and saw everyone else waiting for their carriage to take them back. Ron looked around him. He saw Draco a few people ahead of them. Ron saw Draco's mother walk over to him.

"Now, Draco I will be waiting for a response from his mother, then I will send you a note and it will tell you what we have decided. I'll see you soon." She kissed his head and walked away. Draco turned around and saw Ron. He gave him a weak smile. Ron returned the small smile.

They loaded the carriages and took off towards Hogwarts.

------------------------------

Narcissa appeared in front of Malfoy Manor. She was still fuming from seeing Draco, her darling son, with that horrible mudblood loving Weasley. She walked in to find her husband on his way out.

"Honey, I need to tell you something before you leave." Lucius looked over at her, then went to grab his coat. He put it on and walked towards the door. "Draco has been dating Ronald Weasley." Lucius had opened the door, but after his wife's news he slammed the door shut and faced his wife.

"What did you say?" He demanded.

"Our son has been dating Arthur Weasley's son, Ron."

"What the hell is he thinking?" Lucius took off his jacket. "I'm writing to Fudge that I'm staying here for a while. I'll be back." Lucius took off towards the back of the mansion. Narcissa stood at the door she heard a door click saying it was locked. Then without warning she heard her husband scream at the top of his lungs. She heard the door open again and she heard him walk further into the mansion.

A few minutes later Lucius returned. "Now. Draco has been dating a Weasley?" He asked calmly.

"Yes." Narcissa answered.

"What the hell? Does he not care about the Malfoy line? Hell does hi not care that it's Arthur Weasley's SON?"

"He says that he's different."

"He is no different than his father. Does Draco not see that?"

"I wrote to his mother, she will write back and then we will discuss what's going to happen, since I invited Ronald for the holidays, to see just how different he is."

"What? NO Weasley will step foot in this house. I need to knock some sense into our son is all." Lucius paused. "I think I'll make a visit to Hogwarts." Lucius opened the door. An owl flew in at that moment.

"Apparently the Weasley's have answered my letter." The owl flew to Narcissa's hands. She opened the note. "Mrs. Weasley will be here soon. Apparently Mr. Weasley is still at work." She looked over at her husband. "Might as well stay here." Lucius grunted and closed the door.

They went and sat in the living room and waited for Mrs. Weasley. A few minutes later a knock came. Narcissa opened the door to see the plump redhead ont he other side. Mrs. Weasley smiled. Narcissa just stared at her. She moved out of the way and let the woman enter. Molly walked through the doorway. Lucius shifted in his chair, he didn't want a Weasley in his house.

"Arthur will be here in a little while." She said taking a seat. She looked around at the huge living room. It was bigger than her kitchen and living room combined.

"Draco is just being stupid right now, there is nothing to discuss." He said angrily.

"I don't think it has anything to do with them being stupid, they may genuinely like each other." Molly said softly.

"They are both boys." Lucius spat back.

"They are also both purebloods, I figure if anything you'd be happy about that." She responded.

"I don't care...Well I do care that Draco's seeing a pureblood like he's suppose to, but I'm never going to have a grandson. The Malfoy line ends here, with him."

"It would be about time." The three jumped at the entrance of a new voice. They turned to see Mr. Weasley standing in the threshold. "The door was open so I just came in."

"How considerate of you." Lucius remarked.

"Look, none of us like each other but our kids do, so they are the ones we need to think of, not ourselves." Arthur said from his spot. Molly motioned for him to sit next to her, but Arthur wanted no part of the Malfoy's place.

"They are not going out, I refuse to have my son go out with yours. Hell I won't even let him go out with a boy, the Malfoy's will live on forever." Lucius insisted.

"Sooner or later you will have a girl in your family and then the Malfoy's will end there, why not just make it an early death of the name." Arthur said staring at Lucius with pure hatred.

"I never knew you were hateful, it is very out of character for you." He paused. "Or are you just spiteful that my name means something."

"Your name strikes fear in others nothing more, it holds no significant value, once your money is gone, or once we finally catch you working for You-Know-Who, your name will mean absolutely nothing."

Both men stared at each other. Finally Narcissa spoke. "How about the boys split the holidays between the two families and we will decide just how bad the boys are together." She offered.

"Sounds fine, but who gets them first?" Molly answered.

"We can always do what the muggles do and flip a coin."

"Seems fair."

Narcissa walked over to the table and found a galleon. The Malfoy's called heads and the Weasley's got tails. The winner got the kids first. Narcissa flipped the galleon and all four watched in turn over in the air and waited for it to land. It landed on heads, so the Malfoy's won. Narcissa got up from her seat. "I'm going to write Draco, since the holidays start the day after tomorrow." She walked to the back of the house.

"There is nothing left to talk of Molly, Draco and Ron will come to the Burrow the day after Christmas and that's it. Let us go." He said motioning for his wife. Molly stood. Lucius watched the two leave. He never wanted them in his home again. He would just have to deal with their son and make it impossible for their son to pass his test. Narcissa returned just as the Weasley's left.

"Well that's done, now you can go to work."

"Fine. I'll be home later." He stood and got his coat from the closet and left without another word. He was beyond angry.

---------------------------

Draco sat in the Slytherin Common Room, he waited for his mother's answer. He wasn't sure just what was going to happen, he was quite nervous about his father. His father's reaction was going to be bad, he was afraid of presenting Ron to him, and he was afraid of just how his father was going to be while Ron was there. Draco stared at the fireplace. There wasn't a fire, because Draco was waiting for an owl and he didn't want it to burn. Finally something flew down at him. Something dropped in Draco's lap and then the bird was up and out of the fireplace. Draco opened the note.

The two of you are splitting your holidays, you and Ronald will be here at Malfoy Manor for the first part and then at his house for the second. See you in a couple of days.

Draco stared at the note. His fear came back of how his father was reacting to all of this and how he was going to react when the two of them showed up at Malfoy Manor. He'd tell Ron tomorrow what was going on. He slumped on the couch and rested his eyes. He fell asleep soon after.

AN: Oh dear, Ron in Malfoy Manor for a week with Lucius Malfoy giving him a "test". What ever will happen...any ideas? I need some.
