A/N: I know that unnormal is not a word but I could not think of the actual word so I'm sorry.

Chapter 1: pleasantries

"Potter!" Yelled an angry sounding Draco Malfoy one day after potions

Harry potter whom had been walking with his friends spun on his heals and glared at Malfoy- albeit half-heartedly but glaring all the same.

"What Malfoy" Draco seemed to relax

"Did we have any herbology homework?" he asked with a smirk playing on his lips

Hermione and Ron both stared at Harry who himself looked 'stunned' then they proceeded to look at Malfoy. Ron recovered from this completely unnormal moment. He stood in a fairly offensive position which signalled he predicted a fight was about to commence. He looked Malfoy square in the eye and informed him "Gryffindor's and Slytherin's don't have Herbology together idiot!"

"Actually Ronald Malfoy is right we share Herbology Dumbledore thought it would be better for inter house unity" at this Harry and Draco smirked at each other "therefore he has put the houses that..."

"Ok 'Mione I get it" sighed Ron

"Erm anyway yeah Dra...Malfoy we had to write that essay on the magical properties of Lavender it has to be 2 feet" Ron looked at Harry as though he was an alien I mean being pleasant to a Malfoy was like telling Voldermort his eyes are nice!

"Thank you Potter erm... if you ever need any help in potions just say the word and I'll help" and then Draco did something no one had ever seen him do before, in public anyway, he smiled, genuinely.

"Thanks for the offer Malfoy and the same goes for you. If you need any help in defence just say the word." With that they went there separate ways. Malfoy to the Slytherin common room and the golden trio went to the Gryffindor common room.

"Harry" Ron shouted upon arrival "What the HELL was that! Being nice to Malfoy! What in the world where you thinking?" Ron was panting heavily by the time he finished he was very agitated after all.

"Because Ron, I'm giving what Dumbledore wants a go. Inter house union could be very beneficial during the fight against Voldermort. Mal... No...Draco is obviously willing to give it ago so I think the least I could do is I try as well. If you are not willing to try then fine but I am. And I hope it wont affect our friendship." Ron just stared at Harry

"Harry, he thinks I'm a...a mudblood how can you possibly want to try and befriend him?" Hermione wanted to know

"Hermione he's only doing it to please his death eater of a father? And I am not going to befriend him, I do not need to! I am going to let Draco take this were he wants it to go. After all the ball is in his court as the muggles, say." This was not a lie per say because after all Harry had let Draco make the first move two years ago and also Draco did only do these things he did to please his father as if he did not his life would be forfeit.

"How do you know that Harry?" asked Ron when Harry did not answer but just looked puzzled. He continued "you said he was only mean to us so he could keep his father happy. How can you possibly know that?" questioned Ron

"O well, I just meant that I think that's the reason not that I know or anything, well I'm tired, I'm going to bed for a bit wake me up at dinner. Laters" with that Harry left.

A/N: By the way, im sorry if, my summary implies certain people are dumb. That is not my intention I just liked the saying. And also am sorry if I am making Ron seem to clever or not so clever let me know and I will try to fix it in the next chapter. Let me know if I should continue.
