One Week

Chapter 3

Disclaimer: DO NOT OWN!

Ron felt betrayed. Betrayed and frightened. Scenes from the day before kept playing in his mind: Harry rushing over to Draco's aid as he doubled over in pain. Harry taking Draco's side even though he knew he would turn them against their will by the end of the week. He shouldn't have to share Harry – he deserved to have him all to himself. The part that frightened him the most was that his own heart and mind were betraying the redhead as well.

At the beginning of the school year, he couldn't help but notice the attractiveness of the blonde. Ever since he discovered he was gay, Ron always had a bit of a thing for the Slyterin's most eligible man. But he would never pursue it- Harry was always put first. Harry was the one who loved him unconditionally and kissed him goodnight. But now that he discovered he was destined for both Harry and Draco, Ron's whole world got turned upside down.

Was it even ethical to have two lovers? Homosexuality wasn't frowned upon in the wizarding world but he wasn't so sure about polyamority. Could his heart really be big enough for the both of them? Could he even trust Draco? One thing that was for sure was that Ron knew he did not want to lose his free will, and he would have to find good things about being a vampire before the end of the week, even if being with Draco forever wasn't one of them.

The blonde in question was having breakfast with his father as Ron contemplated and Harry slept. "How did the explaining go Draco?" his father asked between sips of coffee.

"Not so good," Draco replied uneasily. "Harry is more trusting because he has a bit more of a Slytherin mindset than Ron but Ron is difficult." He decided to leave out the part where Ron verbally abused and hurt him.

"Well it's not going to be easy after being under Dumbledore for almost six years."

"I know, but I don't wasn't them to be like mum." Draco sighed.

Tom sighed as well. "I know. It breaks my heart that she told me she was ready and she wasn't, but I try very hard to make sure she only does was she wants to do. I'm sorry though, Draco, I really can't risk my life with Harry here, you know that."

"I know Father. I don't want him to hurt you either but I don't want his spirit broken."

"Just be patient with them and try to show them how wonderful it is to be one of us. Make them want it."

"I'll try, dad. I really will."

Harry yawned and stretched, his arm bumping into Ron's chest. He jumped. "What are you doing here?" he questioned.

"Sweetie, I know that it's hard for you in the morning but try to remember where we are." Ron replied.

It slowly dawned on Harry that he wasn't at the Burrow and Ron wasn't sneaking into Ginny's room. "Oh right." Harry sighed. "How are you this unfortunate morning?"

"Freaked out." Ron truthfully replied. "I'm not sure how this is going to work out in all honesty. I don't think that I can get used to this."

"But Sirius is a vampire, and you always thought that was kind of cool."

"Yeah, but Sirius isn't a part of the Riddle clan."

"Isn't he?" said a voice at the door. It was Draco with a breakfast tray.

"What do you mean, 'isn't he?'" Harry asked, taking orange juice off of his tray.

"Well, he may not be my brother but he certainly is my cousin. Wasn't as strong willed though, Dumbledore got to him for a while, but he's back. He's our spy."

Ron shook his head. "I can't believe it. Sirius, really?"

"Want me to bring him here later? He lives with Remus, obviously, but he visits quite frequently."

"Of course," the two Gryffindors replied.

'This might not be so hard after all,' thought Draco as he left to make the phone call.
