AN: I am so sorry for such a late update, I had actually planned on doing this earlier this week, because I wrote most of the chapter last weekend, but then when I left my mother's I forgot to send it to myself or put it up here on my documents page, and I asked my mother to send it and she wouldn't, so I had to wait, and I kept checking the Ron/Draco page and my story kept falling further down...AHHHH so yeah, here is the update for all of my wonderful reviewers...speaking of which thank you guys for making my story get 100 reviews, finally that hurdle has been reached and jumped. WHOOT!
Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to Harry Potter, I think all of you know this deal but I have to put it up here anyway, enjoy the story.
The next morning Ron woke up still excited, he hadn't slept too much, but he couldn't contain his happiness about Draco finally declaring his love for him. However, he was nervous about what Lucius was going to do. He looked out the window to see the sun was just barely coming up, so he got dressed and walked down to the Great Hall for everyone who gets early breakfast.
There was barely anyone in the Great Hall this morning. Everyone was still very tired from the dance. There were so few people there was only one table set out so far. Ron looked for someone he knew and then he saw Theodore waving to him. He went and took a seat next to the boy.
"Morning." Theodore said quietly.
"Mornin'." Ron answered tiredly.
"I bet last night was great for you." Ron nodded. "I'm glad. You know I had planned on if I kissed you he'd blow up, so I figured it was the best situation." Ron rolled his eyes.
"You're not making a whole lot of sense in the mornings, but I understand what you are saying." Ron answered as his breakfast appeared in front of him. "I'm excited sure, I'm just really nervous at the same time."
"Well I would be too, Mr. Malfoy is terrifying." Ron stared him with a 'no-duh' look. "As scary as he is, I don't believe Draco's going to back down from him this time, so I wouldn't worry too much." Ron gave a shrug and started eating.
When he was almost done with his breakfast he saw the sun peaking above the horizon and knew a few more people would be coming in soon. He looked over at the door and saw a very familiar blonde giving him a suspicious look. Ron smiled at him. Draco walked closer to the table. There was another boy sitting on the other side of Ron, but when he saw Draco come closer, he moved across the table and Draco took a seat. He shot a cold stare over at Theodore, then looked back at Ron.
"Don't worry, we've only talked and there's nothing between us and you should know that." Ron said with a mouthful. He had spit a few chunks of food and blushed when he looked over at the other students who were smiling and rolling their eyes.
"Don't talk with your mouth full." Ron blushed further. Draco poked his fork into his food and began eating. He quickly grabbed Ron's chair and scooted the boy closer. Ron looked over at him confused. Theodore chuckled, but Draco continued eating. Ron rolled his eyes at the blonde once he realized what the reason for it was.
The three of them had finished the breakfast just before every one else came in to enjoy theirs. They walked out, Theodore turned and headed back towards the Slytherin common room while Draco grabbed Ron by the hand and walked towards the outside. On the way they saw Harry and Hermione. Ron waved to them and they waved back cheerfully. Ron and Draco continued to walk towards the outside. Once outside Draco took Ron over to the lake and they sat down and looked up at the sky. Ron had been quiet the whole walk.
"Nervous?" Draco asked looking over at the red head. Ron nodded once. "Don't be. I told you over the holidays I wouldn't let him eat you and I'm still not going to let him." Ron half laughed and Draco kissed him on the cheek. "Come on, class is going to start soon and we need to still get our stuff." Ron nodded and stood up with some assistance from Draco.
Their first class of the day they shared. Potions. Harry, Ron and Hermione had walked in right as the bell rang. Ron saw the seat next to Draco open and he walked over to it. He sat down and Draco smiled at him. Harry and Hermione sat next to each other, and Snape was about to start class when the doors to the dungeon opened. Snape stopped and stared at the intruder.
"Lucius, I really don't think this is a wise decision." Dumbledore said gently. Ron sunk in his chair at Lucius' name; Draco rolled his eyes and crossed his arms across his chest. "Professor, I'm sorry, but it seems Mr. Malfoy can't control himself. He wishes to speak with his son." Snape shook his head at Dumbledore and motioned for Draco.
"It's not my son I wish to speak with." Lucius said coldly. Draco, who had stood up to leave, looked at him warily. "Mr. Weasley, won't you join me outside?" Ron, who was almost at the floor, felt his heart skip. Draco started shaking his head furiously at his father.
"No. He has nothing to do with my decisions, so there—"
"I will speak with you later, Draco, for now, Weasley." Lucius turned and walked back out of the room.
"Dumbledore, you won't seriously let him speak with Ron alone, will you?" Dumbledore gave Draco a reassuring look and turned his attention to Ron.
"Ron, I don't think you should leave Mr. Malfoy waiting any longer, his anger might multiply." Dumbledore said happily. Draco sat back in his chair angrily and slowly Ron got off the floor and walked out of the room after Lucius. Dumbledore shut the doors behind Ron and pointed Ron to the dungeon next to Snape's. Ron cautiously walked through the open doors. He saw Lucius Malfoy staring out the window. Ron turned to find Dumbledore closing the doors, with him outside, of this dungeon as well.
"Sit, Weasley." Ron quickly took a seat behind Lucius, who continued to stare out the window. "Tell me Weasley, how is it you, of all people, tempted my son back to dating you?"
"I didn't." Ron said shakily.
"Don't lie." Lucius said frigidly, coming right up to Ron's face.
"I'm not lying, sir." Lucius's eyes darkened menacingly. Ron leaned as far away from him as possible.
"Are you saying you had nothing to do with it whatsoever?" Ron hesitated. "So you were lying."
"No sir."
"Then why the hesitation?" Ron opened his mouth again. "Don't lie to me again, boy."
"I just got thrown off by your question."
"Then I'll ask you again. You had nothing to do with my son getting back together with you, in any way?"
"You know that no matter what I did or didn't do, getting back together with me was Draco's decision not mine. And I really can't influence him one way or the other."
"You're avoiding my question." Ron stared at the older blonde man. "Answer my question."
"I'm confused."
"And I'm pissed off now. You understand my question perfectly well, now answer it." Ron sat flat against the chair.
"I tried to make him jealous, but that was it." Ron said quietly.
"So you did originally lie to me?" Lucius said furiously, slamming his hands on the table in front of Ron and looking the younger boy in the eyes.
"I guess." Ron said shakily.
"Don't play dumb with me." Lucius' voice was colder than normal and full of malice.
"I'm trying not to, but you are really scaring me out of my wits."
"And tell me why."
"What?"
"Why am I so scary to you?" Lucius asked, cocking his eyebrow at the question.
"Because you're Draco's father."
"Why is that so scary?"
"I think we're venturing off topic aren't we."
"We will venture whichever way I so damn well please, now answer the question." Lucius said grimly.
"I don't know."
"Then why be scared." Lucius said leaning against the table. Ron opened his mouth to say something but found he was a little too confused. Lucius rolled his eyes at the boy.
"Well, it's not a secret that you'd kill me in a heartbeat."
"Your point?"
"That's scary." Ron said matter of factly.
"Doesn't matter." Ron threw up his hands in frustration. "What the hell is your problem?"
"I can't figure you out." Ron's voice was rising from frustration.
"Don't you dare yell at me!" Lucius said through gritted teeth. "You aren't supposed to be able to figure me out. I like it that way."
Ron stood up finally and confronted Lucius face to face. "Mr. Malfoy, I completely respect you in that you don't want your family name to die, but honestly it is not my fault that your son originally fell in love with me and in turn I fell in love with him. Furthermore, it isn't my fault that he came back to me so quickly and without any regret. I am very much guilty of trying to make him jealous in the fact I "dated" Theodore for a week, but that was to see if he loved me, and since he does I don't think you really have a right to control your son's love life." Ron finally took a breath. He stared at a completely shocked Lucius Malfoy. "Or is it possible that you are jealous of his choice."
"Excuse me?" Lucius had come out of his trance.
"I thought it part of human nature to experiment as a teenager, did you ever?"
"This is not an interrogation of my past life."
"I really don't care anymore. Answer someone else for a change Mr. Malfoy, did you ever experiment as a teenager."
"No." Lucius said disgustedly. "I saw no point. Men are supposed to be with women, and honestly if this is just an experiment between the two of you, you can stop it immediately."
"Mine and Draco's relationship isn't an experiment."
"The way you said it, it seemed that way to me." Lucius said crossing his arms across his chest. Ron rolled his eyes impatiently. "Don't roll your eyes at me. I will not be walked over by a child."
"I'm not a child."
"You're underage."
"And you're starting to sound like Hermione." Lucius froze and Ron, for the first time in 5 minutes, wished he hadn't said anything.
"You dare to group me in the same with that…Mudblood!" Lucius's voice was dangerous and it caused Ron to take a step backward, but since Ron was already so close to the next table, he tripped over the chair he'd been sitting in for the majority of the conversation. "What's wrong? Not so tough now are you? Get over here. I'm not done talking with you." Lucius hadn't moved, but Ron didn't dare to disobey him at this moment. He walked back over to the table and sat in the chair again. "Now, I'm going to leave you with one last thing." Ron nodded. "You don't have my blessing and never will, because you are a Weasley, not necessarily because you are a boy. Remember that." Lucius walked around the table. "Out." Ron let out of his breath and walked out of the dungeon.
Once he opened the door to Snape's he saw everyone putting things away. Everyone stared at him in amazement that he actually missed Snape's class. He walked down and picked up his bag and the bell rang. He slumped down in his chair. Draco gave him a sympathetic look and kissed him on the cheek. "Weasley, stay and make up the class." Ron huffed and rolled his eyes. "Don't get angry at me." Snape said before disappearing into his office.
"I'll see you after." Draco said standing up.
"After, I talk to you." Draco turned to see his father looking down at him. "Come with me, Draco."
Draco sighed and walked up the steps to go and talk to his father. Snape returned with Ron's things to do the potion and rewrote the instructions on the board and went back into his office. "Don't blow up my room, Weasley." Ron rolled his eyes and began to work. Draco walked out the door amused.
They walked back into the dungeon Ron and Lucius had just come out of. "So Father, did you enjoy your talk with my boyfriend that took the whole class period. Might I ask just what were you doing in here?" Draco asked still amused.
"You can wipe that smirk off your face, Draco." Lucius said looking sternly at his son. "Tell me the story."
"What story?"
"The story of Weasley and Nott."
"I don't know that story, Father. That is Ron's story."
"He only got together with Nott in order to make you jealous."
"And it worked. Father, I love Ron and I never want any other guy other than me to touch him, and as long as I have a say no other guy will."
"Is that all you have to say."
"Basically."
"Your mother doesn't want me disowning you from our family, so I can't, unless I wish to upset your mother. But I will not allow him in my house again. The two of you want to see each other, fine, but he's not coming into Malfoy Manor again while I'm still living."
"Very well. I can't do anything about that."
"Write to your mother."
"Why?"
"She wanted to hear if I disowned you or not, so write to her."
"Fine."
Without another word Lucius walked out of the dungeon. Draco sat back in his chair and smiled. Ron was finally his without anyone saying otherwise. He was able to deal with the people at school, it was his father he was a little worried about, but he had to thank his mother for his father not disowning him.
The door to the dungeon opened again and Ron came in sulking. "What happened, I know that potion took longer than that."
"Your father came in and blew up my cauldron, and Snape got mad at me and said I would just have to take a fail for the day." Ron said sitting in a chair across from Draco.
"I'm sorry. Well my father didn't disown me because of my mother, so he was probably really pissed and decided to take it out on you." Ron rolled his eyes. "Come here." Ron got up and walked over to Draco, who quickly took him in his arms in a tight embrace and locked lips with him roughly.
When they pulled apart Ron was smiling constantly and Draco just watched him admiringly. "Well, we've made it through everything and everyone, finally." Ron said wrapping him arms around Draco's waist.
"We finally did." Draco said kissing Ron's head. "I love you."
"I love you too." Ron said against Draco's chest.
Harry and Hermione had been standing outside the dungeon watching the scene in front of them, once they heard the final words from them both they walked away giving them their privacy. "Hey Harry, I don't think we ever found out what your paper said. Ron told us in the common room that his had said Draco and Draco's had said his own name, and that," She jerked her head back towards the door. "proves it. And I told you mine said Viktor, but we never heard yours." Harry blushed and laughed. "What?"
Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out a crumbled piece of paper. He unfolded it and handed it to Hermione. Theodore Nott "Are you kidding?" Hermione exclaimed; she then started laughing. "Go figure, the one person that makes out with Ron in front of you is your true love." They both laughed as they entered the common room.
AN: This is the end, sadly...hoped you all liked it.
Everyone wanted to know what Harry's paper said, and then I couldn't think of anyone, then Breanne and I talked about it and we decided on someone, as you see. It may not be the best choice, but yeah, so hope you enjoyed it.
I'll probably write another Draco/Ron story so watch out for a new one from me.
