Dealing with Ron
Chapter 21
Someone persistently shaking his shoulder awakened Harry. Swatting the hand away, he mumble, \"Go ‘way Dray. ‘M tired.\" The shaking still didn’t stop so he lifted his head and glared at the culprit. Unfortunately, this didn’t faze said culprit in the slightest. In fact, the offender just grinned unabashed at the sight of the grumpy elf.
\"Get up, elf. We have double potions this morning, remember?\" he said brightly. \"If you don’t hurry up, you’ll miss breakfast.\"
\"Fine. I’m up. Happy now?\" mumbled Harry irritably as he climbed out of bed and made his way to the bathroom. Quickly stripping and climbing in the shower, he leaned his head out of the shower and yelled, \"What time is it, anyway?\"
\"It’s 6:30,\" called Draco smirking in anticipation of the response.
\"What?! Why in the hell did you wake me so earl? I could have slept for another hour,\" he yelled.
Shampooing his hair and muttering about irritating morning people who have no business being up at this ungodly hour, Harry about jumped out of the shower when he felt hands slide down his back and grip the curves of his arse. He immediately moaned when said hands traced the crease of his arse before one adventurous finger stabbing in and hitting his prostate.
Draco could look at his elf’s wet, glistening body all day. Adding a second finger into Harry’s tempting little hole, he scissored and thrust them before adding a third. Watching his elf fuck himself on his fingers was almost too much for Draco. Pulling his fingers out, Draco ignored the protesting whimper from Harry and thrust his cock quickly inside.
\"Yess… so good,\" cried Harry rocking his hips back into the thrusts.
\"Gods, you’re so tight. You feel so good,\" moaned Draco steadily increasing the pace until he was pounding the tight little hole. With one hand, he pinched and twisted his mate’s nipples, while with the other he grasped and stroked his elf’s cock in time to the frenzied thrusts. He loved hearing the moans, gasps, and pleas for more that his elf emitted but what he really wanted to hear was his elf to scream in pleasure.
Harry cried out pitifully when Draco withdrew and stepped back, but he was immediately spun around and lifted off his feet. Wrapping his legs around Draco’s hips for balance, he cried out when Draco quickly shoved his cock back inside him. Harry grabbed a handful of his mate’s hair and shoved his tongue in Draco’s panting mouth. This new position allowed Draco’s cock to ram his sweet spot with every forceful thrust. Harry’s wails soon became continuous screams of \"harder..faster..more..Draaayy.\" Harry finally tensed screaming Draco’s name as the friction of his cock against Draco’s stomach brought him to release.
The contractions around his cock proved too much for Draco and he thrust hard one last time screaming \"Elf\" and shot his seed deep into the hungry channel. Barely able to stand, he leaned against the shower wall weakly. Harry was still clinging to him like a limpet, but with a nudge of his legs he finally unwrapped himself from around Draco and stood on his own two feet.
\"Now that’s how I like to start the morning,\" said Harry rather hoarsely.
\"Of course, now we have to hurry if we still want to eat breakfast,\" said Draco huskily.
After washing and dressing, Harry put the glamour in place. They managed to arrive at the Great Hall at 7:30 giving them only fifteen minutes to eat if they wanted to make it to the dungeons for class on time. Harry was a bit miffed that they had to sit at separate tables, but hunger eventually quelled all protests and he began to eat like a starving man.
Hermione was absolutely shocked at the amount of food her friend had already consumed and it didn’t look like he would slow anytime soon. Actually, every seventh year Gryffindor was staring at Harry eat. None of them had ever seen Harry eat this much at one sitting.
\"Harry? Are you alright? Didn’t you eat enough last night?\" said Hermione in a worried tone.
\"I’m fine. I’m just hungry this morning. Besides, I was a little upset last night and didn’t very much,\" he reassured his friend. Of course, that work out this morning also helped my appetite quite a bit he thought to himself. But we don’t need to tell Hermione that part.
He took two more bites and pushed his plate away. He saw Draco stand to leave and grabbed his bag and stood saying to Hermione, \"I’m going to head to class. You coming?\"
\"Yeah, just let me grab my bag,\" she said. She quickly stuffed the book she had been reading into her bag and picked up as she stood. \"Okay, I’m ready.\"
\"You don’t mind walking with Draco, do you?\" asked Harry as he hurried to the door.
\"Of course not,\" she said trying to keep up. \"I might be able to walk with you a little more easily, though, if you would slow down.\" She was almost jogging to stay apace with him.
Harry blushed and mumbled, \"Sorry.\" He slowed to a more sedate pace to appease Hermione and searched the corridor for his missing mate. He was looking off to the right when he felt someone tap his left shoulder. Turning to the left, he came face to face with Ron.
\"Did the ferret dump you already?\" he asked spitefully.
\"Just ignore him, Harry. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about,\" said Hermione soothingly. She didn’t want her friend to get in trouble because Ron was being a prat and trying to cause problems.
\"I could never dump this gorgeous creature, Weasel. Now get lost,\" said Draco from the shadows. He stepped up beside Harry and wrapped his arm around his shoulders. \"Sorry, elf. Didn’t mean to leave you behind.\"
\"That’s okay. I was walking with Hermione anyway,\" said Harry. He looked at Draco and raised an eyebrow with a positively mischievous look on his face.
Draco suddenly remembered the conversation from the night before about ways to torture the Weasel. He smirked and leaned down to kiss Harry making sure the redhead had a clear view of his tongue invading Harry’s mouth. He almost smiled when Ron spluttered in indignation and started to pull away. Ron screamed in rage when Harry’s tongue chased Draco’s coaxing it into thoroughly satisfying open mouthed kiss.
Hermione was panting when they broke apart; Ron was still screaming; Ginny, who had come across them unexpectedly, was crying; and those who hadn’t seen them on the train were staring in shock. Harry just blushed slightly from all the stares while Draco just had a smug look on his face. They continued down the corridor and entered the potion’s classroom leaving everyone else still standing in shock. That is until they heard Snape’s voice coming from the classroom. That was enough to jolt them out of their stupor.
\"And may I ask why only two of my students were on time for class?\" he asked silkily.
\"It’s their fault,\" yelled Ron pointing to Harry and Draco.
\"Ten points from Gryffindor for not taking responsibility for your own actions, Mr. Weasley,\" said Severus.
\"What?! If they hadn’t been molesting each other in the corridor, we wouldn’t have been late,\" yelled Ron.
\"Ten more points from Gryffindor for yelling at your teacher. We will be brewing a simple healing potion. I suggest you get to work, Mr. Weasley, unless you want more points deducted,\" said Snape before walking back over to his desk.
The class went to work, silently gathering necessary ingredients and setting up a usable workspace. Harry had his potion started before anyone else. He carefully read over the instructions twice before adding the first ingredients. Twenty minutes until the end of class, Harry looked up to see Ron glaring at him hatefully. Looking away from the hate-filled eyes, he didn\'t see the gingerroot flying towards his cauldron until in was too late. Harry heard something hit his potion with a plop and quickly set up a containment shield. The potion exploded spraying the shield but not harming any of the students.
\"What happened here Mr. Potter,\" said Severus walking up to the destroyed remains of Harry\'s potion.
\"Ron threw ginger root into my potion and I couldn\'t catch it in time, sir. I only had time to erect a containment shield to prevent anyone from getting splashed,\" said Harry quietly.
\"Why that little weasel,\" said Draco before starting in Ron\'s direction.
\"Mr. Malfoy, get back to your desk,\" said Severus forcefully. \"I will handle this. Mr. Weasley you have detention with Filch every day for a month. Be thankful Mr. Potter managed to prevent any other damages or it would have been longer. Everyone get back to work,\" he snapped before vanishing the mess in front of him. The rest of the class immediately turned back to the task at hand and silence reigned once again.
Harry was releived once class ended. He quickly grabbed his bag and walked out the door, not even waiting for Draco or Hermione. He was absolutely fuming and needed to get away from Ron before he completely lost his temper. He still had three more classes and Ron was in two of those three.
\"Harry, wait,\" called Hermione running towards him with Draco following at a more sedate pace.
\"What is it Hermione?\" he said a bit impatiently.
\"Don\'t take that tone of voice with me. I just wanted to know if you were all right,\" she said huffily.
\"I\'m sorry, Hermione. I\'m extremely pissed off but I shouldn\'t be taking it out on you,\" said Harry contritely.
\"I can still rip him to shreds for you. I wouldn\'t mind. Really, I wouldn\'t,\" said Draco helpfully.
\"That is quite all right. I have another plan for him,\" said Harry with an evil smirk.
\"Oh, what is it?\" said Hermione excitedly. She wasn\'t at all happy with Ron at the moment. His irrational jealousy of Harry\'s life was getting out of hand.
\"You\'ll see. I\'ll just say that lunch should be very entertaining,\" said Harry with an another enigmatic smile before entering the classroom and sitting in the back of the room. Draco, of course, sat beside him with Hermione at the neighbouring desk.
Professor McGonagall entered the room and said, \"Quiet down. Class has begun. Today we will be studying animagi. I will cast a spell on each of you to see if you are capable of becoming an animagus. Let\'s begin.\"
McGonagall went down the rows casting the spell on every student. The first three students had no animal form. Ron was next in line and eagerly waited for her to cast the spell. McGonagall cast the spell on Ron and the whole class burst out laughing; Ron was an ass.
\"Oh how fitting. Now I can call him an ass without it being an insult; it\'s just the truth,\" smirked Draco enjoying this new revelation immensely.
Hermione\'s animagus form was an owl and Draco\'s form was snow leopard. Professor McGonagall tried the spell three times on Harry but no animal form was revealed. She was disappointed at this. She had thought that with as much power as Harry contained, he would be assured an impressive animagus form.
\"Ha ha, the great Harry Potter doesn\'t have an animagus form. How pathetic,\" sneered Ron. Harry doesn\'t have an animal form while I do. This is great he thought vindictively.
\"I don\'t need an animal form. I can just control them,\" said Harry calmly inspecting his fingernails.
\"What the hell is that supposed to mean?\" snapped Ron.
\"It\'s rather self-explanatory. I can control predatory animals,\" said Harry sarcastically.
\"Whatever. You know I\'m better at this and you just don\'t want to admit it,\" said Ron with a smug smile.
\"Yes, you truly are better at being an ass,\" said Harry. He smiled when he heard Draco and Hermione snicker. Soon the whole class was once again laughing at the irate redhead.
\"That\'s enough you two,\" said McGonagall sternly. \"Ten points from Gryffindor for disrupting my class.\" She completed her spells and found two cats, one fox, and one snake. Out of a class of fifteen, only seven had an animal form. \"I want a three-foot essay on animagi ready for class next Monday. Class dismissed.\"
\"Are you ready for lunch. I\'m starving,\" said Harry starting towards the Great Hall. \"Draco, do you mind if Hermione and I sit with you today?\"
\"I don\'t mind. Why?\" said Draco.
\"I just don\'t want to sit with the Gryffindors today. Hermione, you don\'t mind, do you?\" he asked.
\"No. I don\'t really want to deal with Ron anyway,\" she said.
\"Good, that\'s settled then. Let\'s go eat,\" said Harry brightly.
Reaching the Great Hall, they immediately made their way to the Slytherin table. Ignoring the squawks of protest from Pansy and the threatening glares from the over half of the occupants, they calmly sat down and started to eat. Severus eyed them curiously and Dumbledore had his perpetual twinkle in his eyes.
Several owls flew through the Great Hall with letters and parcels. Harry rubbed his hands together and quietly said, \"Let the games begin.\" Unnoticed by everyone but five people, a red glow surrounded the owls. The owls suddenly swooped down around Ron\'s head. They grabbed his robes with their talons, lifted him several feet in the air, and dropped him on his arse. When Ron tried to run from the dining hall, they owls chased him down. By the time the owls flew out of the Great Hall, Ron\'s clothing had several rips and he had owl droppings littering his hair.
\"Why didn\'t any of the teachers help him?\" asked Hermione.
\"Divine justice I\'d say,\" said Draco with a smirk. \"He\'s probably already pissed off several of the teachers. Why should they? It\'s not like they were really hurting him.\"
\"Why did the owls suddenly attack Ron?\" asked Blaise unexpectedly.
Draco, Hermione, and Harry all turned towards him in surprise. He had been quiet the entire meal. \"What? It was just a question,\" he said after a moment with them still staring.
\"I didn\'t think you would be seen talking to me,\" said Draco. That\'s the closest he would get to a public apology.
\"I don\'t know why I should talk to you. You left me in the dungeons by myself to go shack up with Golden Boy,\" he retaliated. \"It\'s a pain in the arse to have to deal with that group every day.\"
\"You\'re welcome to come visit us at any time, Blaise. Just remember the cardinal rule: you hurt me, you die,\" said Harry. \"Before you even ask, I\'m not threatening you. Draco has a protective streak a mile wide.\"
\"Just tell everyone, elf. I don\'t think Gryffindor table heard you,\" said Draco sarcastically.
\"Oh hush. I didn\'t tell everyone, just Blaise. But since he\'s your friend, he should already know that side of you, right?\" Harry pointed out.
\"You\'re really not upset with their relationship?\" asked Hermione.
\"I\'ve known for a long time that Draco had a thing for Harry. There is no way that much energy directed towards him could just be hatred. I\'ve always seen it as a little boy picking on the person he likes,\" said Blaise. He laughed when he saw the light blush covering Draco\'s cheeks.
\"That is so cute. I can totally see that now, though,\" gushed Hermione.
\"I need a nap,\" said Harry out of the blue.
\"We still have two more classes, Harry,\" said Hermione looking at the class schedule.
\"I know. I have Care of Magical Creatures and History of Magic. What do you have Draco?\" he asked.
\"Arithmancy and History of Magic,\" replied Draco.
\"Hermione?\" he asked.
\"Arithmancy and Ancient Runes,\" she said.
\"Let\'s go then. The sooner classes are over, the sooner I get my nap,\" said Harry grabbing his bag. \"I\'ll see you later, Hermione. Bye, Dray.\" Harry quickly kissed Draco on the lips and started for the door.
\"Wait up, Harry. I have Care of Magical Creatures, too. I\'ll walk with you,\" said Blaise hurrying to catch up with the Gryffindor. \"You\'re different from what I imagined. Of course, I only really saw you when you were fighting with Draco.\"
\"Give it time. You\'ll see me in an entirely different light before it\'s all said and done,\" laughed Harry.
Someone persistently shaking his shoulder awakened Harry. Swatting the hand away, he mumble, \"Go ‘way Dray. ‘M tired.\" The shaking still didn’t stop so he lifted his head and glared at the culprit. Unfortunately, this didn’t faze said culprit in the slightest. In fact, the offender just grinned unabashed at the sight of the grumpy elf.
