The four Slytherins made their way to the field where they would be having their flying lesson at. Ron was there looking smuggly at Harry.
"That's called a broom, hope you muggles know how to use them for more than sweeping." Ron smirked. Even in his defeat, his arrogance still came through when Harry was around.
"Weasley, unlike you, we spent the summers on Nimbus 2000s, so I'm sure we can handle these just fine." Harry said back.
"Ya of course, the little rich orphan can have whatever he wants. Unlike you, I was raised proper. How's it feel, muggle, to know your parents died just to get rid of you to those muggles. Guess they didn't love you enough to stick around and raise you proper." Ron smirked.
In a flash, Draco was on top of Ron, punching, and yelling.
"How dare you, do you have any idea what he went through. You arrogant arse, how would you like if it was your family." Draco shouted as he blocked and punched. Ron was swinging at Draco as the rolled and Ron ended up on top of Draco.
Madam Hooch came rushing out onto the field to break up the two boys. Her robes flying out behind her.
"Boys, you will stop at once!" She demanded in a voice as stern as McGonagal. Neither boy stopped and when Madam Hooch tried to break them up, was knocked backwards by Ron. Draco was able to wiggle his way out and soon both boys were standing. Crabbe restrained Ron, while Harry restrained Draco. Soon after , Snape and McGonagal appeared as if summoned.
"Mr. Weasley, I have had enough. You are to follow me to professor Dumbledore at once." McGonagal said in a voice of shear threat.
Snape went to examine Draco and Harry let him go once Ron was a safe distance enough away.
"A black eye, a broken nose, and a fractured jaw. Mr. Malfoy, go see Madam Pomfrey, Mr Potter please escort him." Snape said after examining Draco's injuries. "Hermione, help him excort please. And stay with him until I meet you there."
Harry and Hermione put Draco's arms around their shoulders and led him to the hospital wing.
"It's ok Draco, we got you." Hermione comforted Draco as he was fading in and out of consciousness. Ron had really done a number on him. Draco was fast, but Ron was built muscle wise. Trying to lift Draco up the stairs was a challenge, but thankfully Professor Flitwick appeared and magically lifted Draco to the hospital wing.
"Thank you, professor." Harry said as they got Draco into the hospital bed.
"What happened?" Pomfrey asked.
"Ron was wailing on him hard and Draco lost consciousness on the way up here." Hermione said with a shake in her voice. "Is he going to be ok?"
She could see the concern in Hermione and Harry's eyes in regard to their "brother".
"Your brother will be ok, he will need rest and mending." She began to wave her wand over Draco and the fractures began to heal and the black eye looked less purple. "You two best return to your lesson."
"We were told by Snape to stay with him, until he arrives." Harry told her. She nodded and continued working over Draco. She took notes on her small pad and continued examining him.
"How long until he wakes up?" Hermione said, looking at her best friend lying unconscious before her.
"He sustained a concussion and it would appear he was slammed hard on the head, I suspect his head was slammed into the ground." Madam Pomfrey said as she finished.
"Oh Draco, please wake up soon." Hermione cried as she sat in the chair next to Draco's bed and held his hand. This was her god-brother . Her family. Her best friend.
Harry stood next to Hermione and put his arm around her, "It will be ok, Hermione, Ron will be punished for this."
"That he will." Snape said as he appeared behind the young snakes. He could see the fear and concern for their best friend and brother. Snape was as well concerned over the state of his god-son. Lucius was going to be in a state once he arrived at the castle.
"Harry, I have flooed your dad, and he is on his way as well as your mum." Snape told Harry. "Now, I have heard testimony from everyone on the field and all are reporting that Mr. Weasley started the fight, is this correct?"
"He started by insulting Harry, about his abuse, and Draco was defending him." Hermione sniffled. "Ron started it, all Draco was doing was sticking up for him, as any good brother would do."
"Well, as all accounts match and Mr.Weasley sustained no injury's, I will see to it that Mr.Weasley will never do this again." Snape was pissed. How dare someone insult his children. Especially in regard to the horrible abuse Harry has suffered from. This was uncalled for.
"He has a concussion, will he be ok?" Harry asked him.
"Draco will be ok, he will wake up, when he has healed from his injuries. He simply needs rest." Snape reassured Harry. Hermione was watching Draco, still holding his hand while rubbing circles with her thumb.
"Where is he, where is my baby!" Narcissa's scared voice echoed as she entered the wing. She relaxed some upon seeing Draco. She dropped beside him and looked at her sleeping son. She hadn't even acknowledged any of the others yet. Just grateful Draco was there. After a few moments she stood up.
"Harry, sweetie, your not hurt are you?" She said looking for any injuries.
"I'm fine, mum." Harry said. She hugged him tight and looked at Snape and Hermione.
"You must be Hermione. Severus told us about you. I am sorry we have to meet under these circumstances, but nonetheless welcome to the family Hermione." Narcissa smiled at her.
"Thank you, it has been rather overwhelming but Draco, Harry, and Pansy have been by my side the whole time." Hermione said as she looked back at Draco.
"Narcissa, where is Lucius?" Snape asked her.
"He is in with Dumbledore. Arthur and Molly Weasley have arrived as well, but they look distressed. Mollys first question was if Draco was ok, not even asking about her own son." Narcissa replied. "They seem to be very displeased with their son's actions. They feverishly apologized and asked that we not hold them in contempt for their son's awful crime."
"Mr. Weasley is certainly not going to be met with any kindness from anyone over this. I have suggested expulsion, and Dumbledore is heavily weighted towards it. He is outraged at what has happened." Snape said.
Meanwhile in Dumbledores office...
In the office were, Ron, McGonagal, Dumbledore, Lucius Malfoy, Arthur Weasley, and Molly Weasley.
"Upon reviewing the facts, and testimonies of classmates from both houses, I must impose that Mr. Ronald Weasley is herby expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In light of this, Mr. Weasley, your wand please." Dumbledore said. His hand was outstretched to Ron.
"No." Ron said with anger and arrogance.
"Mr. Weasley, you are ordered to hand over your wand, now. You are expelled for causing great physical harm to another student. Your actions have led you here. You and you alone are responsible for what has transpired." Dumbledore now stood.
"I'm not getting my wand snapped over a fight, No!" Ron tried to stand up, but was quickly pushed down by his father.
"You can either hand it over, or it will be taken by force." Dumbledore said, trying to hold back his anger towards the events of the day.
"So what, I no longer get to be a wizard. I will not go about being a muggle! It's not fair." Ron said. Looking smug and arrogant, daring anyone to do anything.
"I am merely confiscating your wand, should you make drastic changes, then we can discuss you possibly being allowed to have your wand returned to you." Dumbledore said, giving Ron a chance seeing as he was only 11.
"So what, I sit at home and 'think' about what I've done." Ron asked with attitude.
"You will be sent to a reform school for the remainder of the school year, at which point we will determine if you are allowed back at this school." Dumbledore explained. Ron looked at his parents in shock hoping for some leniency.
"Ron, your behavior has led you to this. In a matter of a week, you have managed to get yourself kicked out of school and hopefully there are no legal proceedings in light of what you have done." His father said emotionless. He was disappointed in his son. None of his children had ever caused him such grief and embarrassment.
"Ron, why? Your brothers never —" Mrs.Weasley started before being cut off.
"I AM NOT MY BROTHERS! NOR DO I WANT TO BE!" Ron screamed at her, making her cry. "Geez, woman, I'm sorry I'm not as perfect as Bill, Charlie, or Percy! Or your precious Ginny!"
"Ronald Bilius Weasley, you will never speak to your mother that way. We raised you better than that." Mr. Weasley said with stern voice.
Ron stood up to face his dad, "Why is it always be more like my brothers, I have been ignored and treated like the unwanted so for so long, and if that's how it's going to be, then fine." Ron sprinted over to the fireplace and flooed away before anyone could stop him.
"Where did he go?" Mrs.Weasley exclaimed.
"That is what we have to find out." Dumbledore said with a sigh. "
