Chapter 4: Snake's Rule!
Ron had gone up to the Astronomy Tower again. Hoping to come to a proper conclusion as to how to approach his feelings towards the most feared Potions Master. He didn't have anyone he could think of who would understand. Let alone anyone he wanted to know he was into men not boys, but men.
He heard a noise behind him and grinned thinking it was the one and only Professor. "Hey you know we can't keep meeting like this." he humorously exclaimed.
"Well then let us discuss how and when we shall meet." Neville said a little miffed, still riding on the fumes of earlier.
"Oh, Neville" Ron turned and looked worried that Neville may not be kind to him since him and Harry had a falling out.
Neville realized he was giving off the wrong impression to Ron, "um.. I had an argument with Harry. He is being a right git and wanker he is." Neville approached the rail by Ron carefully.
"yeah... sorry Neville." he rubbed the back of his head.
"Why are you apologizing for him Ron. He doesn't need your defense. You're much better off without his pansy arse." Neville smiled at Ron, and Ron returned it halfheartedly. " besides he is exclaiming to others that you could be becoming a death eater." Ron immediately clenched his jaw at that defamation of character by his once best friend.
"Is he now." Neville nodded "well I guess that definitely ends the golden trio then." Neville chuckled and saluted the end of an era.
"Looks like your in need of a friend. After all I did claim to be joining you on your plans to be a death eater." Neville smiled to a shocked Ron.
"I guess I'll take you in. I mean as long as you have my back. That and a mean avada kedavra."
"Of course Ron. I think my Girlfriend would love to join as well. If she could get past the pain of the tortures they dish out."
Ron sighed. "All right"
"Whats up Ron?" Neville questioned knowing Ron had always been kind to Luna.
"I…" he contemplates.
"You can trust me I never really enjoyed Harry and his superior attitude." he waited patiently after for Ron's choice.
"I am contemplating how to approach a person and if I should let them know how I feel about them or leave it be."
"Well how long have you been around them?" Neville stares off.
They both stared out to the grounds now in contemplation of the words between them.
"We have been spending time for a few months now and I find my feelings grow everyday but I'm not sure how they feel for me."
"Then you of all people need to take your time. Dude, if you don't know and aren't sure. Being as delicate as you are about things. Then wait let them see you and make it apparent to you their feelings for you. Just get to know each other." He smiled at Ron.
"I see your point, with them it's probably best at this time." Neville frowned concerned for Ron but knowing he would reveal everything in time and make the best choice for him.
Severus Snape walked to class stopping in front of the door to make his dramatic entrance. 'Weasley, weasley, weasley.' but thinking Ron had such intriguing and beautiful reactions to making potions, of course once he began to learn from him.
Slamming the door open he walks in seeing what his class looks like. He noticed Neville and Ron sitting together one row behind Blaize and Draco in the pit of snakes. While Harry and Hermione glared at them, and the rest of the slytherins staring in shock and not knowing what to do for once.
"Everyone follow the instructions on the board." He swished his wand the chalk floating to scribble them.
He saw the students begin to move sluggishly, " MOVE YOU DUNDERHEADS!" They picked up the pace.
He sat behind his desk working on his journal being attentive to the interactions in class. He was sure something would go awry this time.
Ron went to get things being careful to avoid the Gryffindor house. Ever since he and Neville went back to their house, after returning Luna to hers, it's been nothing but hell so much so he thought about requesting a change in houses or a room he and Neville could share. Even so far as to possibly get the room of requirement to be his room this year and take his tests early. He knew he could even help Neville to study for them. Ron was so distracted in thought he didn't notice Severus Snape vanish his cauldron.
"WEasley!" Snape vanished the cauldron as he noticed Ron about to place boomslang skin in the mix of instant explosive if he had. " you are done and shall have detention with me tonight. I trust you know when to arrive by now." he didn't like seeing the hurt face but it would be fine once he explained and found out Ron's reasons for being distracted.
"Everyone class is over bring your potions up those who are done and leave my sight. Ron Weasley you stay." Snape said Ron was scared he lost his respect by being so absent minded today. He realized after what he almost did, but he didn't know how he got the boomslang when it called for crushed beets. Then as he waited he noticed Harry laugh and grin. Giving away how it had happened.
The rest of the slytherin shook their head at the development they witnessed. Their house may have enemies and some animosity and disagreements in it. They kept it in the house behind their walls and never tried to kill each other. They at least supported each other. Their house protection on another from the rest of the houses. Not even having respect for Harry and the rest of the Gryffindor house anymore. They went out and decided to use their cunning to help ?Ron and Neville any chance they got against at least Harry.
Once everyone left Snape noticing his snakes protecting Neville subtly in Ron's absence. He looked at Ron, studying him. Snape locked and warded the classroom door, then opened his hidden room door for them. He walked in knowing Ron would follow.
Ron noticed and followed sighing as he placed his bag and robe on his shoulder.
They arrived at the sitting room at the same time Snape did with a tea set ready and snacks, making Ron's correctly, two sugars and a fair amount of milk. He gestured to the couch in there and sat on the other end from Ron. When they are both settled and have sipped some tea. Ron feeling slightly calmer in his presence. Snape stared at Ron waiting for him to begin as always.
"It wasn't my entire fault Se-Professor."
Snape grinned and set his teas down, " I know Ron." Ron looked shocked at snapes offer of first names to be used.
"How Severus?" Severus raised an eyebrow as if Ron had to ask.
"You know how, but if I must explain. Potter is not such a sneak as he thinks. Besides Ron." He takes Ron's tea from him and sets it on the table and pushes his chin up. "My snakes have decided to give up even their respect of Potter after his actions." he grins at Ron, showing a bit of himself he doesn't often.
"Severus.." Ron whispers. Severus lets go of his chin realizing his actions.
"so ….when were you going to tell me you were changing sides." he playfully says.
Ron shakes his head and smooths his hands down his pants. "You know those are rumours. Though i was thinking snakes aren't so bad." He chuckles and smiles to snape.
