How To Correctly Break Rules

AN: Sorry all this stuff seems choppy. I've been trying to go as fast as I can cause my Husband has been threatening to lock me off the computer. So, the presentation of my ideas (and those who've helped me) isn't as good as it could be.

Chapter Twelve: Ron Has An Idea!

Spring was one week away. They would be leaving in Seven days.

Hermione hung out with Harry and Ron as much as possible, fearing that they would die while she was hiding like a coward.

She was beggining to regret going into hiding. She was one of the most gifted witches and she was taking two other very gifted people with her when she ran.

In the end all she could do was go into hiding.

And feel guilty.

"Don't." Draco said looking into her eyes from across the library table.

"Don't what?" She asked shaking her head.

"Don't feel guilty. I can read you like a book even without the Legilimency. Which I was using by the way. Your thoughts were out there for anyone to see. You need to control them, even when you aren't in danger. Anyone could walk by and look in your eyes. I'm not the only one here who can do it you know." She huffed, but nodded.

"I can't help it. I feel like we should be doing something to help other than hiding out." He opened his mouth but she cut him off. "I know why we have to. But it doesn't stop the guilt. Come on." She said gathering her books and standing. "We're gonna be late for Care of Magical Creatures." He groaned.

"Ugh, do we have to? I really do hate that class! I haven't liked a single monster he's brought in seven years! And what was that Hippogriff's name in third year? Buttcrack?"

"It was Buck Beak, and you deserved the thrashing you got! Hagrid was very specific about how to approach him, saying he was proud and stuff. But, oh, no, the classy Draco Malfoy can't show anyone or anything respect that doesn't either have pure blood or lots of money. You know you deserved it."

"I did not!" He pouted. She grinned at him.

"Oh, and for the record, I noticed at lunch you had your right arm in a sling, correct?"

"Yeah, so?"

"It was your left arm that was hit. You're such a Drama Queen!" She said and flounced out of the Library.

He stared after her with a smile.

He should have known better than to go into a rant about that stupid critter. The fact that she had noticed that was amazing. No one else did, well, if they did they didn't say anything about it.

She could have ratted him out in third year.

Draco wondered why she didn't.

"This 'ere's a critter called a Moke. It's a lizard that can shrink itself at will." Hagrid was saying. Hermione picked up the small lizard and it shrunk itself to the size of a thimble. When she put it back into the box it resumed it's natural size.

"Too bad we can't shrink ourselves." Ron said standing beside her. "Then we could just sneak up on Voldemort and kill him." Draco grinned and nudged Hermione in the side.

"Reducio!" He said pointing his wand at Ron. Ron shrunk to the size of the lizard before he had shrunken himself.

"Draco!" Hermione yelled. "Put him back!" Draco grinned at Hermione and Harry and carefully bent over and picked up the obviously cursing red head.

"He's actually kinda cute like this." Draco grinned looking at Ron who was trying to bite Draco's thumb. However, he couldn't get his small teeth around any of the taut skin, so he stuck to cursing and scratching.

Draco laughed and slipped Ron into the pocket of his robes.

The other students had moved over towards Hagrids hut so they didn't see the tiny red head.

"Draco, please put him back! You are going to get into trouble!" Hermione pleaded.

"Malfoy, come on, undo the spell." Harry said.

"Alright, but I just wanted to see something." He pulled Ron out of his pocket, being careful not to hurt him. He wrapped his hand around Ron's waist like he was a stick.

Pointing his wand at Ron he said "Engorgio!" and Ron started growing, quickly. He out grew Draco's hand. Since Draco had positioned his hand so that Ron was vertical, when He got big enough his feet hit the ground and he didn't stumble or fall.

Whipping out his wand he pointed it at Draco's head.

"You ever pull a bloody stunt like that again and I'll shrink your hands. You'd never be able to wank off again." Draco just smirked at him.

"In case you didn't notice, Weasley, your idea was a good one. And I just proved that it would work. It took you no time to get big and have your wand ready. Just imagine if we were in front of The Dark Lord? And what if instead of one foul-mouth weasel I had a dozen Aurors in my pocket?" They stared at him.

"Oh, my god! That might work! Why hasn't anyone ever thought of that before?" Hermione said.

"When Harry is brought to the Dark Lord, Snape can have his pockets full of Aurors. Cause Harry will probably be too busy battling to enlarge them."

"Well, why can't they enlarge themselves?" Ron asked.

"Well, I don't know if they can. See, when you are small like that, your magic is really small too, so attacking someone who is normal size when you aren't would be like hitting a Whomping Willow with your fist. It won't do much except make it mad. But if a shrunk person uses magic on theirselves it might work cause to them their magic is the size it's always been."

"Why don't you try it Weasley?" Draco said. Ron glared at him but cast the 'Reducio' on himself. He shrunk again. After a few seconds he cast the 'Engorgio' on himself and he came back to his regular size.

"Well, at least we'll have help." Harry said.

"It's about time." Ron said.

The night before The Trouble Trio were to leave, the five friends sat down in the Head's Common Room.

"Why don't we make a pact." Ginny said. "That we'll be friends no matter what happens."

"I can do you one better." Draco said pulling out a knife. "I say we make blood bonds with each other. That way there's no more pure blood, or mud blood, or rich, or poor, or anything between us."

"Are you sure, Draco?" Hermoione asked. "I mean, that's some really Ancient Magic."

"Do we have to actually drink the blood?" Ginny turned up her nose.

"You're such a girl!" Ron teased her. She glared at him.

"Yeah, see, we get a cup." Draco conjuring a silver goblet. "Then we each put some of our blood into it. Swish it around to make sure it's mixed really good then each of us drinks some of it."

"You really want us to all be blood brothers and sisters?" Hermione asked.

"Well, I'm an only child. I've always wanted a brother or sister. How about you, Harry?" Draco grinned at him. Harry smiled and looked into his eyes.

"Does this mean I get to pick on you? I think I'm a few months older than you." Draco rolled his eyes.

"Like you don't already pick on me."

"Alright I'm in." Harry said.

"How about you, Ronnie?"

"Don't call me that. I guess i'm in." Ron grumbled.

"Uh, uh, you're either in one hundred percent or zero percent. This isn't something to do cause we earned merit badges together on a camping trip in the muggle boy scouts. This is a lifetime of brotherhood. Me swearing to give my life for you and you swearing to give yours for me. There is no 'I guess'." Draco said seriously. Ron looked at him.

"Alright, if you're in a hundred percent, then I'm bloody well in too." Ron grinned.

"Ginny?" Draco looked at the red-head.

"Do we really have to drink blood?" She whined. Draco nodded. She groaned. "I already have a boatload of brothers! I don't need any more!"

"Well, what about a sister?" Hermione said with a smile. Ginny looked at her and grinned.

"Well, I've always wanted a sister. Okay, I'm in."

"Hermione?" Draco looked at the little Gryffindor he'd fallen in love with.

"You know I'm in." She kissed his cheek.

"GAG. Come on, lets get on with it!" Ron grumbled. Hermione giggled. "What?"

"Nothing, it's just that I had a friend in London that I went to elementary school with. She used to say 'Gag me with ruffage!' "

"Um, what's ruffage?"

"It's kinda like healthy green foods, like lettuce and spinach and stuff."

"ANYWAY," Draco glared at his girlfriend. "Do always go off on crazy little tangents, like that."

"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" Hermione glared back at him. His glare slipped into a sweet adoring grin.

"No, I actually think it's cute. Of course the first few years of school it was all I could do not to grab Longbottom's toad and shove him in your mouth. I was hoping he was bigger than your mouth and that you wouldn't be able to talk around him." He smirked. Her eyes narrowed and she smacked his arm.

"Okay, are we ready? Do we have to say anything?" Harry asked.

"I don't think so. This is one of those that our magic in our blood know's what we desire. And the blood makes the magic for the bond. But we really have to mean it in our hearts and stuff." Draco said slicing his wrist and letting the cup fill about an inch.

He passed the knife and cup to Hermione and she did the same.

The cup was passed around to all five of them till Harry, who was last finished.

Hermione performed a healing spell on everyone's cuts, then used her wand to stir the blood.

She handed the goblet to Draco.

He closed his eyes and drank about an inch of the blood.

It was once again passed around till it was empty.

"I don't feel any different." Ron said.

"You aren't really supposed to feel any different. It's Ancient Magic. It won't let us know it's there till it's ready." Draco said

A few hours later, Ron and Harry left.

Ginny, Draco, and Hermione had shrunk all of their belonging and had put the miniture trunks into their pockets.

Their parents had already been notified and were already safe. There was only one thing left to do.

The stood in a circle, holding hands, looking at each other.

"Stargate." Hermione said.

The Portkeys activated and the three teens disappeared.

AN: I got two chapters out today. My 20 mo. old daughter is running around with a leopard pillowcase on acting like a giggling ghost attacking and tickling her brothers. My little sister was the one who used to say 'Gag me with ruffage' when she was about 10. I think she made it up but I'm not sure. Please review!
