Chapter 18: The Truth

A/N: Disclaimer in first few chapters!

As soon as The-Boy-Who-Lived heard the roar, he was in the living-room in a flash. The sight that met his emerald eyes rendered him speechless. Molly Weasely, mother of seven, was pointing an accusing finger at his best mate and trying to reach up to his throat as though she wanted to strangle her son. Molly, eventually, settled for Ron's shoulders and gave him a good shake having realized that she was too short to reach his throat.

"HOW DARE YOU?!" Molly raged, spittle flying from her mouth."HOW DARE YOU CHEAT ON HERMIONE?!"

As spittle landed on his glasses, Harry decided that this was heading into dangerous waters.

"Mrs Weasely!" the raven haired man cried as his mother-in-law gave her son another good shake.

With great difficulty, Harry managed to peel Molly Weasely away from her red haired son.

"HARRY POTTER!" she shrieked. "LET ME GO!"

"N-o" Harry panted as he struggled to hold her back from murdering her son. Molly kept fighting against his grasp but she turned her attention back to her son.

"HOW DARE YOU CHEAT ON HER?!"she hollered repeatedly.

"I didn't mean to!" Ron blurted out. His face paled under his too many freckles as he realized what he just said. Harry let go of Molly and she collapsed into a nearby chair-out of breath.

"What did you just say?" The-Man-Who-Saved-The Entire-World said in a low, dangerous voice.

"N-nothing," his friend tried to act casual but the tremor in his voice gave him away.

"You cheated on Hermione." It was a statement, not a question but the red head still felt obligated to provide an answer.

"Y-y-es," Ron stated while nervously licking his lips. No point in lieing now.

"You spouted all those lies to me about Mione cheating on you, didn't you?"

Again, the reply was a stuttered yes.

He didn't even see it coming but suddenly he was on the floor with a red hand print on his cheek.

"I trusted you, Ron," Harry seethed from above him. "I TRUSTED YOU! Yet you still lied to me." Harry paused, looking down at his soon to be ex best friend. "Consider this the end of our friendship," he added pleasantly.

With that, Harry Potter turned on his heel and left the burrow, leaving Ron Weasely gaping after him.

Reviews!

gentledove2~Thank you so much for all your reviews! I just love reading them! Please keep it up...your like my own personal teacher! I love it! And you never know...I might just do what you ask!

marshmallow~Thanks for your review! Glad you like it so much!

Guest~OK...I get all that. But think about it. Draco was only young when he was forced to be come a Death Eater. He didn't know what was going to happen. All he knew was that if he didn't complete his tasks, a member of his family or himself would be killed. Could you imagine someone threatening your life or the life of loved one when you are only 16? You would immediately rush to do what that person told you, wouldn't you? As for him standing around and watching Hermione get tortured, what was he supposed to do? Stand in front of a Crucio from Bellatrix? He would have only gotten hurt. He was only surviving, something you have to do in a war.

augustine~I'm sorry this isn't living up to your standards. Remember: Draco has been forced to think all this things. He was brainwashed at a young age to think that everyone under a pureblood status is dirt. My theory is that when he grew up, he stopped thinking all those things and started making amends in his life. Of course, this is my opinion and you are perfectly entitled to yours. but this is my story and if you don't agree with the plot line, maybe you should stop reading it.

XxLiveFreexX~Indeed! The cat is out of the bag!
