A/N: Hey everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your week. This is chapter seven and it is pretty short compared to the others, but it answers a lot of questions. I lined the time up as best as possible, but i hope it isn't confusing. Enjoy. Later Munchkins.
Chapter Seven
Ron sat at the picnic table and rested his head on his arms.
"How could this happen? Just minutes ago Draco was holding me and now-" Ron stopped and let one more tear roll down is cheek before getting up and walking back to the house, expecting it to be empty by now.
"NO, I have had ENOUGH of your meddling Molly. Just leave us be and let us live our life as WE see fit." he heard Hermione say as he entered the kitchen. He couldn't have been more wrong. Draco and Hermione stood side by side, equally red faced and fuming.
Draco almost passed Molly completely, but she stopped him.
"It wasn't supposed to be this way." she said dreamily. He stopped dead.
"What do you mean? There are lot things that probably shouldn't have happened today." he subconsciously pressed his fingers lightly to his lips.
"I wasn't paying attention and I let it get out of hand, but it was supposed to vanish." Of course, this made very little sense to Draco, but he didn't have much time to ponder. Hermione flew through the door and nearly knocked him over.
"Hermione, you might want to stick around for this." he said softly, pointing to Molly.
"Why would I want to do that?" She spat.
"Why couldn't I just concentrate instead of getting all excited? Ginny looked so upset, but it worked." she was still technically talking to herself, since no one else in the room knew what she was going on about. Hermione, suddenly, saw the reason to stay.
"Molly, what did you do?" the back door swung open and Harry entered, looking sheepishly from one person to another.
"I just wanted everyone to be happy and for everything to go as planned, but it was supposed to vanish." she finally looked up at the three, expecting them to have understood what she just said. "The cup my dears, the cup was supposed to disappear once Ginny drank from it, but it was still there for Harry to drink." Light bulbs went off simultaneously. Hermione and Draco stared at each other. It all made sense.
"Please forgive me. I thought I was doing the right thing." Molly whimpered under their gaze.
"NO, I have had ENOUGH of your meddling Molly. Just leave us be and let us live our lives as WE see fit." Hermione screamed as Ron entered through the back door.
"What's going on here?" Ron said loudly.
"Your mother gave my boyfriend and your sister a love potion! Apparently, it was only intended for Ginny, but the vanishing spell on the cup back fired." Ron blinked madly at her.
"Are you- you mean that Harry isn't really in love with Draco?"
"Yes, well at least I don't think so, and Ginny never meant what she said earlier."
"No." Harry said from behind Draco. "I know what I am feeling and this is no potion. I DO love Draco." he stepped up calmly and put his hand on Draco's shoulder. Hermione had to hold Ron back.
"Ron, he doesn't realize what he is doing. He won't until the potion wears off. Molly, how long did you set the potion to last?"
"Four days. I figured that was long enough to have lasting effect and maybe give them a push in the right direction. I was going to give this one to Harry after desert." she pointed at a mug on the counter. "It was the only time I cold ensure that Ginny would be the one he would see." she looked at her hands in defeat. "I still think I was doing the right thing. Hermione was meant to be with Ron and Ginny with Harry. It's the way I always thought it would turn out."
"Mum, how many times do we have to have this conversation? I am gay, therefore Hermione would never work. The fact that she is madly in love with Harry could put a damper on it as well. I am with-" but he stopped abruptly and felt tears form in his eyes.
"He is with me and there's not a whole lot you can change about that, Molly" Draco walked away from Harry and put his arms around Ron's waist, placing his head on Ron's shoulder. "If you will still have me." Ron turned around in his arms and looked in his eyes, praying for sincerity.
"You- you kissed Harry." he looked down at his feet. "I don't want you to stay with me out of guilt. If you want to have a chance at what you have always wanted, I guess I can't really blame you. You told me from the beginning that you still loved him and I accepted that. What ever choice you make, I will always be your friend." Ron finally looked up from his shoes to see Draco smiling.
"Do you know what I felt when he kissed me?" he subconsciously ran his hands through Ron's long, red hair. Ron shrugged. "Nothing compared to what I feel when you kiss me. I may have been in love with him, but I can't imagine being with anyone else now." Ron looked down at Draco and smiled his goofy, happy smile. Ron felt another pair of hands on his shoulders and glanced backward in time to see Harry's jet black hair. He felt himself being pulled back and onto the ground. Harry pinned him to the ground.
"Don't ever touch Draco like that again. I know that he was with you, but he loves me. So hands off." he stood up again and walked over to Draco, who was standing in utter disbelief. Harry made to touch his arm, but Draco moved it swiftly and rounded the other arm to meet Harry's face.
"Don't ever touch my boyfriend like that again. Understood? I know you aren't yourself right now, but I don't have much of a choice. Stay away from me for a few days, I promise you will thank me later." Harry looked quite put out and clenched his jaw.
"Now that everyone has had a go at me and my face, I think I will just leave." he walked around Draco and almost made it to the fireplace.
"Harry, what about us?" Hermione spoke softly.
"Apparently, you need to come see me in four days, but I doubt anything will have changed. Just give me some time." he didn't turn to look at her, he couldn't. He finished his journey and flooed home.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed. There will probably be two or threemore chapters left and i'm thinking this will be my one and only attempt at slash. Let me know what you think.
