Chapter 13 Ron's Breakfast Warnings

Harry and Draco walked into the Great Hall holding hands, ignoring the looks as they went and sat together at the Gryffindor table near Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred and George.

"Where were you last night?" Hermione asked Harry.

"Yeah," Ron interjected. "We were all worried about you."

"Sorry," Harry said, glancing at Draco with a sweet smile and soft green eyes. "I just had such a good time hanging out in the Slytherin common room with Dray that I didn't want to leave, so he asked me to sleep over, and I did. It was nice. I'd like to do it again sometime."

Draco smiled at him, leaning over to press a kiss to his cheek, his smile widening when Harry blushed in reaction.

"Whenever you want, baby, and maybe I could stay over with you sometime?"

"Of course. It would be fun."

Ron leaned closer to Harry, eyeing Draco nervously even though he was focused on his food now, making sure that nobody was listening to them.

"So, what happened?"

"Huh?" Harry asked him in confusion. "With you and Malfoy, of course. Did you, you know, do it?"

"Oh," Harry said, coughing a little as his face turned red at his friend's inquiry. "Um, no. I think that some of the other Slytherin's expected us to, but no. I'm not ready for that yet, and I want it to be special. Besides, when we do, you'll know. Everyone will, even if they don't know exactly what it means."

"We will? Why?"

"Well, um… in my other, uh, shape, my hair is really long. Like, a little bit past my waist long. And, when Dray and I bond, my hair will become like that in this form to reflect it."

"Really? Well, that'll be interesting, I suppose. Do you think that you'll mind much?"

"Not really. I kind of like it. And anyway, Draco seems to have a thing for my hair as well. It'll definitely be interesting."

"I'd say that's an understatement," Ron joked, but his eyes were serious as he studied Harry.

"What is it, Ron?"

"Well, you know that my sister kind of has a crush on you, right?"

"Yeah, I know."

"Well, I'm starting to think that it might be more then that. Hermione says that she broke up with Dean, and that she's been avoiding water like the plague. Sound familiar?"

"Um, yeah," Harry answered, looking wary.

"I'm not saying that she'll do anything, I honestly don't know anymore then you do. I know that you're with Draco, even though you haven't bonded yet. I'm just telling you so that you won't be surprised if she comes to you asking for more then friendship."

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind, just in case, though I hope that she doesn't. I don't really want to hurt her feelings."

"I know that you don't, Harry, but I'm not sure that you'll be able to prevent it if she does. You know how Ginny can be when she wants something."

"I know…"
