I don't own KHR, HP, Sherlock, or Ranma 1/2!

Quick Note: It's been a very long day, already. However, I did managed to get the dog license for next year, just need to get the dog park one next.

MayaHikari: Yes, but you have to remember that Ron is still young, and he's not used to having to share Harry with anyone but Mione. There's the Weasley-Malfoy feud... This will be a learning experience for Ron.

FANactic Writer: Things may get slightly smoothed over, but I wouldn't count on the dust settling, just yet.

D C JoKeR H S: Glad you're still enjoying it! Truthfully, I'm not a big Draco fan, but I don't hate him. Dislike his behavior, but that's the way he was raised. This experience gives him a chance to change for the better before getting too mired in the dark. And yes, there will be some blow-ups of epic proportions when we finally get the missing kids in the picture. I just haven't decided how epic.


Opinions Vary


Nana sighed as she hauled Ron, Molly, and Arthur into yet another room, "Ron, I get that you're having issues with this. I've been there. I've dealt with this issue of new friends before, and so have you, if you'd just think about it."

"What are you talking about?!" Ron scowled angrily at Nana, "You just brought a Junior Death Eater into your house!"

"He is not a Junior Death Eater. He's the abused son of Lucius Malfoy, and my cousin. Much like you are, through the Black family line. Technically, I bet if you looked back far enough, you'll find that he's your cousin too," Nana pointed out. "Scratch that, I know he is."

"But he-!" Ron began to protest.

"RONALD BILLIUS WEASLEY! ENOUGH!" Arthur glared at his son sternly, "You are acting very like Lucius Malfoy, right now. Petty, arrogant, and pig-headed. Draco is a child that was hurt by adults. He's had to act a certain way to make sure that he was never struck, after a ministry employee witnessed it once. Lucius bribed them into silence, but not before they told me about it. He is just another scared boy, just like you. I want you to think about your actions, Ron. He isn't his father, even if he was forced to imitate him, for a while."

"Ron, I know that you think we're all completely against you right now, and fooled by his act, but we're actually worried about both of you. For one thing, it isn't healthy to get your blood pressure up that often, even at your young age," Nana knealed down to Ron's height. "If you are ready to listen to me, I want you to think about how you felt about Hermione, before she became your friend and Harry's. Isn't it similar to what you feel about Draco?"

"It's not the same! Hermione is Hermione! He's Draco Bleeding Malfoy!" Ron growled out in exasperation.

"Ronald, you're acting like a dog with his favorite chew toy, and you're trying to make Harry choose. If you do, I can almost guarantee that he won't choose and you will loose a friend. I've seen it," Nana cautioned Ron.

"Harry wouldn't do that! I'm his best mate!" Ron stared at Nana in horror.

"Ron, that's what someone else did to my friend and me. They weren't considered a friend for much longer. Now, there was a different group, where I was in your position. I wasn't sure of the person, and I was scared I'd loose my friend. Do you know what happened?" Nana asked Ron gently, noticing that he was unwinding a bit.

"What?" Ron sulked a bit more.

"I ended up with two best friends. That snowballed into three or four, just in that year. So, what can you take from what happened to me?" Nana asked him.

"Making someone choose is a great way to loose mates, and agreeing to be friendly can get you more?" Ron shook his head in annoyance. He really didn't like the fact that his dad had yelled at him, or that Nana had flipped the tables on his thinking, but things the adults were telling him were sort-of making sense.


On the way to Draco's new room...

"Do you think he'll be okay?" Draco asked Harry worriedly.

"Who? Ron? Nana is just going to talk to him. I haven't seen her harm anyone since she took me in. I've talked to Tsuna and the others and they said that she only fights to protect them. I think Nana is a good person. I will admit that I think everything has been so confusing the last few weeks. I just don't know what's going to happen next. I mean, I know that they're hiding something from us, but I think she's protecting us," Harry shrugged as they entered the adjoining room to Narcissa's.

"Sorry I was such a prat," Draco mumbled sheepishly.

"Apology accepted. But you should really apologize to Hermione, when Nana gets her here," Harry informed him.

"I will. So... Does this make us friends?" Draco asked curiously.

"I think it's a good start," Harry smiled in relief. "By the way, I've been dying to tell someone, but I'm not used to so many people being around all the time. Do you think I should tell Nana? I don't want to worry her, but she's more responsible than Sirius and-"

"Harry, if she's as great as you're telling me she is, then you definetly should, mate," Draco yawned tiredly as he slipped into the bedroom.

"Thanks. I'll wake you for the next meal, okay?" Harry smiled.

"Sounds good, thanks mate," Draco sighed tiredly as he closed the door behind him, and opened up the adjoining room. "Who are you and why are you with my mother?"
