AN: I realized that this chapter was easier to write than the holidays with the Malfoys. I think it's because Ron has siblings, giving you more things to do. But anyway, I really did like this chapter, hope you guys like it too.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, or any of the characters in this fanfic, sadly enough...T-T (those are my tears of sadness).
The next morning Ron woke up before Draco. He looked over and saw the clock said it was only 5:30. He decided to wake up Draco anyway; he was more than ready to go home. Draco, however, wasn't in the mood to be woken up. He accidentally hit Ron in the head when he rolled over. In return for being hit Ron smacked Draco on the head. The blonde snapped out of his sleep and sat straight up. He looked over at Ron with an icy glare Ron hadn't seen in a long time. Draco wasn't one to be hit in the morning, even in retaliation. Draco reached behind him; he stared at the young redhead the entire time. Ron was about to say something when Draco hit him with a pillow. Draco plopped his pillow back on the bed and laid back down. Ron sat on the bed stunned. Draco hadn't hit him in a long time. Ron picked up his pillow and turned to his boyfriend and hit him as hard as he could with the pillow. Draco sat up in bed, his hair now disheveled from the hit with the pillow. He looked over at Ron who was still holding the pillow in hand. Draco picked up his pillow again and smacked Ron with all of his force. Ron fell against the bed, Draco thought of laying back down, but he knew Ron, he knew the boy wasn't going to stay down. Sure enough Ron got up. This time Ron stood on the bed so he towered over Draco. Draco quickly tried to unravel himself from his covers, but was smacked with a pillow before he could. Draco glared up at Ron.
"That is it." Draco grabbed Ron by the ankle and pulled. Ron landed on his back on the bed so hard he bounced up a little before he stayed on the bed. Draco got out of his covers and grabbed on of the throw pillows. He straddled Ron before Ron could get up. He smacked Ron upside the head on one side and then on the other from the backswing. Ron threw up his arms to protect his head. Draco got in another hit before Ron grabbed one of his wrists and flipped him onto the bed. Ron topped Draco quickly, pinning Draco's wrists to the bed. The boy beneath him looked nothing like the normally well-composed boy with his hair neatly done and his clothes looking nice. Ron smiled at the disheveled Draco. His hair was sticking up in all directions; his shirt had come unbuttoned half way down from the struggle, and looked angrier than normal. Ron leaned down and pressed his lips to Draco's. When the kiss broke Draco struggled to get out from under Ron. Ron let go of the blonde's wrists and got off of the boy. Ron looked over at the clock, 6:05, 35 minutes of struggle.
"What the bloody hell was that all about?" Draco asked in a tone a little under a scream.
"You hit me when I tried to wake up, so I hit you, the you hit me with a pillow and I think you know the rest." Ron said.
"You tried waking me up before the bloody sun was up. I don't wake up early."
"I just want to go home." Ron said softly, a little ashamed of his actions. Draco sighed.
"Come on." Draco got out of bed and walked over to his dresser. Ron perked up. He ran over to Draco ad wrapped his arms around the boy's waist.
"Thank you." Ron whispered in Draco's ear. Draco turned his head to face Ron. With a smile he kissed the boy. Ron blushed. Draco motioned for him to get dressed as well. Ron turned around and got dressed as fast as possible. When he turned around he saw Draco completely dressed and getting their things together. Ron smiled causing Draco to smile as well.
"Let's go." Draco walked over to the fireplace in his bedroom and turned to Ron. You go first so I know what to call out and I'll see you when I get towards that area. Ron nodded and walked over to the fireplace. He reached into the bag beside the place and picked up some powder. He threw it into the ashes and shouted 'The Burrow', green flames shot up and Ron walked into them hanging on to his luggage as tightly as possible. Draco took a deep breath. And re-enacted Ron. In a second Draco found himself in the living room of a shabby house looking at Ron.
"Welcome to my home." Ron said happily. He heard footsteps running down the stairs, he'd hoped it was his parents, he wasn't sure if he was ready for his siblings. Flaming red locks of hair showed themselves in a minute, on top of the head of a plump woman who let out a heavy sigh when she saw who was standing in her living room. "Hi mum."
"Hi sweetie. I wasn't sure what was happening, I just heard a loud bang and then came running down."
"Sorry to scare you mum." Ron turned back and looked at Draco who was staring around the room in amazement. Ron wasn't sure if it was good awe or bad awe, but he didn't care. He turned back to his mother.
"It's fine sweetie, just glad to see you home safe and sound and on time." She smiled happily as she wrapped her arms around her youngest son. Once she finished hugging him her attention turned to the stunned teenager in her living room. "How nice to see you again, Draco." Draco gave her a smile and stood awkwardly in one spot. "Ronald why don't you show Draco up to your room and rest some more, the rest of the family won't be up for a little while longer, unless you woke them up too." Ron blushed. "Breakfast will be in a little while." Ron nodded and walked over to Draco and grabbed the boy by the wrist and led him up the stairs.
Half way up the stairs Ron stopped when he saw one of the doors on the second floor open. Ginny walked out of her room and looked at the two boys on their way up to Ron's.
"Morning Ginny."
"Morning." She eyed Draco suspiciously, of course Draco looked out of place in the Burrow. Draco looked back at Ginny with a look that rivaled hers. She stepped onto the stairs without taking her eyes off of Draco. She began walking down stairs still eyeing Draco. Ron rolled his eyes and started to pull Draco up the stairs again.
"I think your sister has something up her sleeve for me." Draco said as they passed another floor.
"Believe me, she's not the only one." As if on cue the twins hopped onto the staircase blocking the two boys from advancing any further.
"How lovely lckle Ronniekins brought home the amazing bouncing ferret." George said to his twin. Draco sneered at the two older boys; Ron rolled his eyes at his brothers and tried to move further up the staircase.
"Awe, Ickle Ronnie is already trying to get away from us, after leaving us for a week. I feel hurt." Fred joked.
"Then so be it. We just want to sleep some more before breakfast, now move." Ron said trying to walk past his brothers again. Fred and George stayed still on the staircase. "Are you going to move or do I need to go get mum?" With a sigh the two stood on either side of the stairs to let the boys walk through.
"We were only joking Ronniekins." George said as they walked by. Ron gave him a stern look and rolled his eyes. Fred kept a close eye on Draco as Draco walked by. The twins and Draco really never got along and neither of the twins had forgotten. Draco stared just as hard at Fred. The twins gave one last look at their brother and the blonde then walked down the stairs to join their sister.
Finally the two reached Ron's bedroom. Ron opened the door and let Draco walk in first. "Sorry about all of them." Ron said as he closed the door. He saw Draco looking around his room. "I know it's not like your room, but I like it." Draco turned to face the redhead.
"I think it's cozy." Draco saw a bed that had been placed in the room for him. It was the only thing not covered in Chudley Cannon things. Draco put his trunk at the end of the bed and sat on the soft mattress. Ron noticed Draco's eyes closing ever so slowly. Within seconds Draco was asleep on the bed. Ron laughed quietly. He walked over to Draco's bed and kissed him gently on the head. "Thanks for coming early." Draco moaned and rolled over. Ron smiled and walked over to his bed and got under the covers. With one last look at Draco he went to sleep as fast as Draco had.
After an hour Draco woke up by rolling off of the bed. He hit the floor and the thud made Ron wake up. Ron turned over and stared at the blond struggling to get out of his covers on the floor. Ron giggled and when Draco finally got out of the cover he stopped as if he hadn't ever laughed. Draco glared at the other boy. Ron smiled down at him. "Hungry?" Draco nodded. "Smells like breakfast is done, so let's go."
They made the long trip back down the stairs. When they reached the bottom they saw the twins still sitting in the living room with Ginny talking excitedly. When Draco came out they stopped talking and stared at him. Draco glared at them hatefully. Ron grabbed his wrist and walked into the kitchen to find his mother busying herself with breakfast and Harry sitting at the table. Harry smiled at the two of them, Ron knew that Harry was smiling just to make him happy. Ron sat down across from Harry and Draco next to him. Mrs. Weasley called in everyone, from her husband to all of her children that were there. Draco sat at the end of the table near where Arthur sat. Ron was next to him and then Ginny sat on Ron's other side. The twins came in and booted Harry out of his regular seat and scooted him down one more, so they could sit in front of Draco, who definitely wasn't thrilled to see them. The twins grinned deviously as they stared at the blonde. Draco shifted in his chair. Ron looked over at his brothers.
"Would you two stop?" He asked his voice strained from his anger. The twins continued to grin and stared at the blonde boy, who just stared back at them with narrowed eyes and pursed lips. Fred turned to George who was already staring at his twin with a goofy smile on his face. Fred leaned over and whispered something in George's ear, George's smile increased immensely. Fred finished his sentence and returned to he seat where he looked over at Ron. It was then George's turn to lean over and whisper something to Fred. This time they both gave a laugh and went back to looked at Draco. "What the bloody hell are you two plotting?" Ron nearly screamed.
"Nothing. We promise." They said together. Everyone around the table knew they were lying. The boys continued to smile as they continued to whisper things at each other, then looked back at Draco and their grins widened or they laughed. It was making Draco uneasy in his chair. He shot cautious looks over at Ron. Ron tried to give him a comforting look but Draco knew Ron wasn't going to be able to stop any of this. What made Draco even more uneasy was he knew the twins were of age, 18 to be precise,and could do magic whenever they pleased now.
"Boys stop whispering." Molly said as she walked behind them. She waved her wand and plates of food starting moving towards all of them. A plate landed in front of everyone and Molly sat down in her chair. With a look down at Draco who was taking up his fork and started poking at the food. "Don't worry dear, it doesn't bite." Molly said happily. Part of her wanted to take offense, but the other part knew it wasn't worth it. Draco gave a nervous laugh.
"I'm sorry, it's not that, I'm just worried about the two of them." He said jabbing his fork in the twins direction, who looked up innocently. Molly gave him a look of understanding. Draco put the food into his mouth and began munching. It was actually some of the most heavenly food he'd ever tasted outside of Hogwarts. His worries faded a little as he ate. Draco noticed that Ron's parents didn't give him cold looks, like his parents had given Ron. The only thing that did bother Draco was the twins and from this morning, even though she hadn't said anything to him, he also had a bad feeling about Ginny. He looked down the table and saw Ginny eating peacefully. She must have noticed Draco looking because she looked down at the blonde who quickly looked away. She gave her brothers a smirk and their grins widened again.
Breakfast finished and the kids all went into the living room. Draco really stood out in the living room. His white-blonde hair majorly stood out against all the flaming red heads and Potter's dark hair, which at least fit in a little more. He was also dressed nicely, while the room around him was shabby. Ron went and sat on the couch and motioned for Draco to sit next to him. Draco sat uncomfortably on the couch and looked over to find Fred and George over in a corner talking in hushed voices. Ginny was staring at him with a happy look on her face, which made Draco nervous, he'd never seen so many wicked smiles since he went with his father to a Death Eaters meeting and they were plotting death upon muggles. Ron grabbed Draco's hand and gave him a confident look this time.
"Ronniekins, we must ask a favor of you." Ron looked over at his brothers in the corner, he didn't like the looks on their faces. Ginny's smile even increased.
"What?" He asked tensely.
"Leave the room for a few minutes." Fred said.
"I don't think so."
"Oh come on Ronnie, I'm sure Draco's mummy and daddy made him leave the room for questioning." George answered.
"Still. NO! I don't trust you guys."
"Don't tell me you trusted the Malfoy's. Being left alone in a room with either of them would not be the best idea, if you know what I mean."
"I said NO."
Fred gave a flick of his wand and in the next second Ron was on the other side of the living room unable to hear anything. Then Fred's attention returned to Draco, who sat staring at the three redheads ready for anything they threw at him. Then he realized Potter was still in the room.
"Is Potter staying for this?" Draco asked no one in particular.
"I'll be asking my own questions Malfoy." Harry answered. Draco glared over at Harry.
"Whatever, let's just get this over with." The other four looked at each wondering who was going to start, but before anyone said anything, George conjured up a table and placed it right in front of Draco on the couch. The four each had a chair behind the table and they went to sit in one, so it was the four of them staring at the one Draco. Draco took a deep breath and waited for someone to speak. For a moment no one said anything, then all of sudden four voices shouted ten different questions and Draco sat confused. Ginny called for silence and everyone shut up.
"I say we go oldest to youngest, which would qualify George to be first, then Fred, Harry and finally me." She said.
"You volunteer to go last?" The twins asked her stunned. She nodded happily as if it was the only thing she'd thought of and it would be absurd if she didn't go last. The twins shrugged and George took a moment to compose himself then turned to Draco.
"Malfoy."
"Weasley."
"What the hell are you doing with our brother?" He asked almost in rage. "The two of you share nothing in common, nothing at all and yet you somehow think that the two of you can have a relationship. How can you possibly believe that?"
"I love your brother, doesn't matter if we have anything in common or not, I love him." Draco said in a matter-of-fact voice, that made George narrow his eyes from the boy's arrogance.
George was about to say something when Ginny held up her hand. "One question from each person at a time, and we'll rotate through." George slumped in his chair and looked to Fred.
"Malfoy, it is quite commonly known that you will lie about anything to get whatever you want, with no remorse. So how do we know this isn't some act to get something out of Ron?"
"What possibly could I want from Ron?"
"Sex." Fred said bluntly. Draco sat on the couch in amazement at Fred. Fred of course took it as his answer. "So that's all you want, sex? Go find someone else to be your play toy Draco."
"I don't want him for sex." Fred wanted to continue, but he'd be asking another question, so he shut his mouth and passed it onto Harry.
"What do you want him for then?" Harry asked playing off of Draco's answer. It wasn't the question Fred had wanted to ask, because Harry knew Fred wanted to be the one to ask the question, and Harry wasn't sure if he could bring himself to be as blunt as Fred was.
"To be my companion, why else would someone take on a significant other?"
"Sex." Fred said slamming his hand on the table.
"I don't want him for sex. How many times am I going to have to tell you that?" Draco said angrily.
Ginny cleared her throat and Draco turned his attention away from Fred. "Why did you start going out with our brother?" Draco paused. He was stuck, he couldn't tell them that he started seeing Ron because he'd been having erotic dreams, he could imagine Fred screaming it was all about sex already, but he couldn't lie. Ron didn't lie to his parents' questions and he didn't want to lie to Ron's siblings and Potter.
"Because I was attracted to him." It wasn't a lie, it just wasn't the whole truth and that was what Draco like about it.
"What attracted you? After all, as I said before the two of you have nothing in common."
Now Draco was stuck. What had attracted him to Ron wasn't something he wanted to tell them. He couldn't just say that it was the sexy way Ron had acted in his dreams that made him want to kiss the boy in the corridor to see if his dreams had been lying. "His innocent nature, I mean he's not innocent, but just the way he saw everything." Draco said. For the most part it was true now, Draco liked the way Ron was rather naive about things.
"Have the two of you had sex?" Draco had been expecting the question since Fred had brought up the topic.
Draco took a deep breath. He was ready for the outburst that was about to come, at least he hoped. "Yes." For a moment there was nothing but silence and the four in front of him blinking rapidly.
"I KNEW IT!" Fred shouted. Then the rest of them started screaming about something. Ginny was trying to get everyone to calm back down, but was unsuccessful. Mrs. Weasley heard the explosion and rushed in the living room to hear them screaming, she made a loud cracking noise with her wand and everyone shut up. Draco sat on the couch looking at the floor.
"Now what is going on?" She asked. Ron ran in after his mother and looked at the otherWeasleysnervously.
"Sorry mother, it's nothing, we just got carried away."Ginny said smiling. Her mothergavea heavy sigh andslumped out of the room. Ron ran over to Draco.
"I thinkthat's enough. What the bloody hell was the eruption about?"
Fred made sure thathis mother was out of ear shot."The two of you havehad sex?" He asked his younger brother through gritted teeth. Ron looked over at Draco.
"I didn't want to lie." Draco said. Ron turned back to the panel of his siblings and Harry.
"Yes, we have, but it was only once."
"Once, you've still had sex with each other, that was the point." Fred's voice was taut with anger.
"Fred, we love each other, I don't see how it's so wrong then."
"You're too young." George interjected.
"Are not. We're almost of age."
"But you're not of age yet." Fred retorted.
"And your point is? People have married younger than we are?"
"Yeah five hundred years ago, it's modern day now." George said.
"Why the hell are the two acting like mum and dad? It's not your choice who I see or for that matter who I have sex with. It's mine, now please, just let it go."
"You're are little brother Ron." Fred started.
"And no matter how much we mess with you we do care for you." George finished.
"We just want to know that your in good hands."
"And safe." The twins sat in their chairs looking at their younger brother sympathetically. Ron gave a heavy sigh.
"I know, but I'm smart enough to choose the right people for myself. I'm not going to go off and have sex with the first person that comes along."
"See you two. I told you he was able to use that brain of his." Ginny said from the end of the table. The twins stared down at her. "Besides, outside of the fact that they've had sex it seems as if Draco does care very much for Ron, after all he did tell the truth knowing the explosion it would create."
"I always thought you were the sensible one." Draco said to Ginny. A faint tint appeared in her cheeks. The twins gave another sigh.
"Fine, alright." George said.
"I guess he passes." Finished Fred.
Harry hadn't said anything. Even Ron was sure that nothing Draco had said had convinced Harry. Ron smiled at Harry. Harry smiled at him as well, then turned his attention to Draco. Draco was staring at him as well, Draco wasn't dumb, he knew nothing would change Harry's mind about him, so he wasn't even going to waste the effort.
"Thank you." Ron said. "Now can we please do something fun?"
Everyone perked up at the thought of something fun to do. "How about we play some Quidditch?" Ginny offered. Everyone said yes to that idea.
AN: Yeah, it's a crappy ending, but hey there will be more to come. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and stay tuned for more Holidays with the Weasley's. It can only get more interesting.
