Chapter 4: RONALD WEASLEY!

Hermione was just sitting back and relaxing as she watched Harry and Draco rush to get ready. 'I really have to do this relaxing thing more often,' she thought to herself, keeping it as a mental note for later. She was enjoying just sitting back and watching her two friends, especially Draco. Although they had always been enemies, there was something different about him. He was nice. He was actually sorry for what he had done to Harry and Hermione over the years. 'That is completely un-Draco,' thought Hermione. 'It's better this way though,' she reassured herself, 'I think I'd enjoy getting to know him better.' But before she could decide how exactly she would accomplish this, she burst out laughing.

Draco had just come back from the bathroom with his clothes changed. And he looked hilarious. Hermione had to admit it was an improvement on before, sure it was. It wasn't the clothes she was laughing at though. It was how Draco was wearing them.

Apparently, when Harry had said he would lend Draco some clothes, he had meant some old clothes. And those clothes were much too small for Draco. Hermione liked the view that it gave her of Draco's physique, but she could tell Draco was uncomfortable. He was waddling like a penguin in the arctic rather then walking the way a normal person would. On top of that, he was blushing again. He seemed to realize how much of a fool he looked like.

Draco responded to Hermione's laughs with a grunt. He replied pleadingly, "Hermione, you know I wouldn't be caught dead in these clothes had I the choice. So do us both a favor, and please don't laugh." With a last giggle and a smile, Hermione capped off her laughs.

"I'm sorry Draco…it's just…you know…" Hermione tried to say why she had done that and Draco understood.

"I understand. Just don't." He told Hermione, in a serious, yet understanding, tone.

Well, Hermione complied, but when Harry came into the room, he too broke out laughing. Draco shot a look at him, as deadly as bullet, right when Harry's laughing had commenced. Harry caught the look and he stopped giggling as soon as he could. But that wasn't too soon, to tell you the truth. When Draco was about to open his mouth to scold him, Harry finally felt the urge to stop.

"I'm sorry Draco," Harry replied, wiping away a tear of laughter from his bright green eyes. "It's just I had NO idea that those clothes would do that to you!"

"I know, I know. Do you have anything else I could wear?" Draco desperately asked Harry.

But before Harry could tell Draco his answer, Hermione interrupted him. "Oh seriously you two! You could just enlarge them you know. They're perfectly fine otherwise." And with that, she pulled out her wand and pointed it at Draco's pants. "Engorgio." And she did that for his top, too. Finally, Draco seemed comfortable.

That's not to say that Harry was comfortable. He thought to himself about Draco. When those clothes had been small, they hugged Draco's body in all the right places and Harry enjoyed that. But that's what made him uncomfortable… he had enjoyed looking at another man. 'It's okay…. I'll get over this…it's just a stage…' he told himself, trying to reassure his masculinity. Harry was quite distraught, but he broke away from the matter and listened to Draco and Hermione finishing their fight.

Draco asked her, "Why couldn't you just do that before? You totally embarrassed me!" He turned away from her, crosses his arms, taking on a mad look. Hermione couldn't take it.

She tried to appease him. She replied, "I just…well…enjoyed laughing. What is a laugh between good friends Draco? I'm sorry, alright?" When Harry saw Draco turn back to Hermione, he saw Draco smile, as though he accepted Hermione's apology.

Draco had gasped. He told Hermione, surprised at what she had said, "You called me a good friend Hermione!"

Harry smiled, and looked at the two. He said, "So I guess that's an apology accepted?"

"Definitely. Anyone who can accept me that quickly deserves to be forgiven," Draco said. Hermione jumped on Draco before he could continue. She was quite ecstatic.

"Before any other fights ensue, let's get going!" she told Harry and Draco, meaning business.

And before they could argue, Hermione grabbed their hands, and they all grabbed their things. They gathered in the middle of the room and all held hands, ready to side-along apparate. But before they left, it happened for the third time.

Everything around Draco and Harry stopped.

Their eyes were locked. All they could see was the other's gemstone eyes lost in theirs.

Harry felt butterflies fly into his stomach and his breathing picking up. This time he had enough time to know he was definitely interested in Draco. For a few more moments, he enjoyed looking into Draco's beautiful eyes and feeling Draco's soul.

Then the world twisted.

It was over.

When Harry was traveling with his to friends to the Burrow, he thought to himself, 'I have to figure out what is happening between Draco and me. Soon.' Harry knew he had to resolve his feelings as quickly as possible, because he was going to be spending a lot of time with Draco, and he did not want to be embarrassed in front of him. Harry knew he was going to be having some trouble if he didn't figure everything out. Too bad he wasn't the only one having trouble.

That's right. You guessed it. Hermione was having trouble. PSYCHE! Yeah, it was Draco who was contemplating what was happening, wondering what was going wrong with him. To avoid the problem, Draco wished he could just stay away from Harry. Sadly, he knew he couldn't do that, on penalty of death. So he would have to live with this problem resting on his shoulders. 'I hope it will get better,' Draco thought. Then he realized what he had just done. 'Since when I am an optimist?' he asked, a little taken back at how much he had changed.

'Staying with Harry will be tough. And even if I didn't stay and went to Hogwarts instead, I'd die! And I doubt any of the Slytherins would accept me after what I've done, if I did return. They don't accept people… like me,' Draco thought. He was content with the last thought; it was sufficiently pessimistic for him to stop thinking about things… for now. Anyway, he had to pay attention to the things around him. He had just arrived at The Burrow, which made him shiver. He did not like this hovel, but it would have to do. If Harry could go there, Draco thought it was good enough for him. Not like he had a choice.

Right when Ron was about to sit down to eat some peanut butter and strawberry jam on two large, delicious slices of bread, he heard something…

"P-P-Pop" he heard and when he looked up from his sandwich to the living room. There he saw Hermione and Harry standing there, with something behind them…

"Oh, hi Harry," said Ron, very uninterested in Harry at the moment. After all, Ron had better things on his mind. Like the wonders of food.

"RON!" Hermione screamed, mad that Ron had not welcomed them as she had expected him to.

Ron sighed and looked back up. After taking a bite from his sandwich, he realized who was in front of him. With his mouth full of food, he shouted, " 'Arry, is 'at ou?" And Harry shook his head yes at Ron and smiled at his friend's manners. Hermione, however, was not as amused. When Ron saw this, he decided it was best to swallow his food before greeting her.

"Hey, Hermione. How… are you doing."

Hermione looked pleased that he had at least some ounce of decency left in him. "Fine Ron. It's nice to see you too."

'Oops,' thought Ron. 'I knew I forgot to say something to her…' Ron blushed at his mistake.

Hermione continued, glad that she had made him blush. "Well, I think you should greet your other guest, Ron."

Ron could swear he had only seen Harry and Hermione there, but when they parted, there was someone standing behind them, in what looked like Harry's old clothes. Upon closer inspection, Ron realized who it was…

The bane of his existence! It was Malfoy! 'What was he doing here? In my house?' Ron asked himself, pissed off that Draco was standing right there in front of him, like nothing happening was out of the ordinary. Before Hermione or Harry could stop him, Ron got up to from the table and ran over to the Malfoy. Then Ron started pushing him towards the door. He wasted no time making sure Malfoy felt unwelcome.

He began yelling at Malfoy, "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE MALFOY! I DON'T EVEN WANT TO SEE YOU EVER AGAIN! NOT AFTER WHAT YOU DID, FERRET!" When Hermione opened her mouth to protest Ron, he would not stop. He kept pushing Draco out the door, whom, oddly enough, was not resisting Ron. In fact he seemed to be enjoying that he still had such a bad reputation with Ron, if that was possible. Ron saw this smirk on Draco's face and lost it. "WHAT ARE YOU SMILING AT, MALFOY? THAT'S IT!"

And Ron started punching Draco; much like Hermione had just done a few hours earlier. But Ron was much more brutal. Instead of just sticking to hitting Draco's face, once he had given Draco a bloody nose, he started massacring the rest of Draco's body.

When Hermione saw a drop of blood hit the floor, she started sobbing, but this did not break Ron from the trance he was in, punching Draco non-stop. Once Draco fell to the floor, Hermione had had it! She screamed like she had never screamed before. "RONALD WEASLEY! STOP IT! NOW! AND LISTEN TO US!"

The surprise from this scream stopped Ron in his tracks, like a deer that had just seen headlights. Not only did this sweep Ron off his feet so to speak; it literally did that to Harry. It would seem that just the force of the surprise made Harry lose his balance. And it didn't stop there; Draco, even in his half-conscious state, had heard Hermione's screech as well. He was wearing a sleepy look of disbelief upon his face. Never had Hermione exercised such power, amazing everyone in the room. And she was glad that she had done it. She had saved Draco from even more pain. However, Ron was a little peeved. He had a lot of thoughts in his head at the moment.

While Ron watched Hermione stride over to Draco and start healing his wounds, Ron wondered about that yell. 'Hermione shouldn't have done that to me,' he thought. 'I was completely right in doing what I was doing! Malfoy deserved it. He's been having that coming for years,' and he added on, disgusted with Malfoy, 'especially after he led the Death Eaters straight to Dumbledore…' But before he could continue defending his actions, another voice in his head started arguing with him. 'Ever think Hermione might have an excellent reason for bringing Malfoy here? Hmm?' but Ron could not answer. 'That's right. Now go over to Hermione and Malfoy and apologize.' Ron didn't move. 'DO IT' bellowed the voice, and Ron just went over to apologize…much to his disdain. But the voice in his reassured him, 'Believe me… It's for the best…'

Hermione could not believe what had just happened. When Ron had seen Draco, he just erupted in anger and began yelling at Draco. And then he started punching him, to boot. 'The nerve!' she thought. 'But wait, didn't I punch him too… Oh well… that's still no excuse. I at least listened to Harry first… But he… he just overreacted… and Draco did not need that,' she thought as she finished healing Draco's wounds. Since Draco looked as though he could properly think now, Hermione decided to ask him how he was doing. But before she could do so, Ron spoke to her.

"Hermione, I'm sorry I did that…It's just it's Malfoy… what was I supposed to do?" Hermione did not break the stone cold glare she was giving Ron, despite his apology. She was not the one he should be apologizing to, it should be Draco, she thought. Ron seemed to realize that, and through his gritted teeth, he muttered, "And I'm sorry Ma…Ma…Ma…Malfoy." Then her eyes broke their evil look upon Ron. She knew how hard it was for Ron to apologize to Draco, even if he did call him Malfoy. So she decided to thank him in the best way she knew how to: she jumped up and hugged Ron.

This hug was much different than the one she had given Draco earlier. That one had been a friendly hug. This was more of a…love hug. And as much as Hermione enjoyed, Ron did as well. He eagerly embraced Hermione and ran a hand through her hair. He rested his head on top of hers, and they both felt like they were the only two in the room. But, too bad-they weren't.

After the long embrace, Hermione broke away from Ron, much to both of their disapproval. Both Draco and Harry were happy that they had finally broken apart, however. It was just awkward for them, watching the Hermione and Ron show affection for each other. Hermione cleared her head of thoughts and spoke with an upbeat tone, "Now that you're actually met Draco…" Hermione paused when she saw Ron cringe. "Yes Draco Ron…" she added on curtly, " I think that it's time that you listen to what happened to him. But I think you're whole family should be there when he does that. So he doesn't have to repeat himself nine times…"

Even though he hesitated, Ron complied with what Hermione wanted. He ran around the house, checking upstairs and in the yard for his other family members. After fifteen minutes, they were all there (all except Percy that is, but that is understandable). All the Weasleys looked just as Ron had when he had first seen Draco; they all carried a look of disgust and anger. They, unlike Ron, did not jump poor Draco. So he was allowed to speak this time as the whole group sat down at the table. After a retelling of past events (again), it was time for dinner, which everyone was looking forward to. Even Draco, who had never had Mrs. Weasley's cooking,

From the looks of things, Draco had been accepted here too. For the most part, that is.

A/N: That took me a while to write, but I did it. It took me awhile just to get the Weasleys to accept Draco. Sigh… But the next chapter, (Chapter 5 already, I know!) Moving In will be sure to bring Harry and Draco somewhat closer. As for Ron and Hermione, that's probably the most emotion you'll see them exchange. You see, they'll be away at school most of the time. But Hermione will talk with Harry A LOT. She is doing the research right? Okay. I have to go eat lunch. Writing this made me hungry! Chapter 5 will be posted sometime Monday Night. My guess is 9 to 10, but it could be before or after then.
