Draco's pov:

I felt sort of bad for Harry. Between me, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Seamus, Dean, Pansy, and Blaise.. well we all kind of started switching shifts as his bodyguards. He was getting fed up with it very quickly and I could tell. "Harry we just care." Hermione said apologetically. "I get that Hermione, but I defeated the greatest dark wizard of all time. I'm not scared of a little twit." I chuckled, playing with Harry's fingers. "He's right Mione, we should probably lay off, he can handle himself."

"Thank you Ron! Merlin, you guys are driving me mental. Don't get me wrong, I love each and every one of you very dearly, but the next person who tackles me out of the way so they can smell my pumpkin juice is getting avada kedavra'd." We all laughed, and I just smiled fondly kissing Harry's cheek. I knew he could handle himself. I just worried, if I ever had to see him kissing anyone else ever again I may not be able to keep as calm as I did with Tori.

"Well as lovely as it's been here, me and Harry are taking a nap." Harry looked up at me, "we are?" I chuckled kissing his nose, "yes love let's go." Half of our friends gagged while the other cooed at us. I waved at them all before dragging Harry to his dorm. As soon as we got into the room, "can I kiss you?" He nodded smiling, "I knew you didn't want to nap."

I smirked, shrugging, and pushed my lips down onto his. I moved us so I was sitting on the bed and he was in my lap. It was a nice kiss, not rough or overbearing, just calm and passionate. There was no where I'd rather be than right here. Merlin, I am turning into a bloody hufflepuff.

"Potter." I said pulling away from the kiss, "yes Malfoy?" He asked teasingly, rolling his eyes at the use of the last names. "You're turning me into a bloody hufflepuff, it's complete rubbish." I whined, laying back dramatically. He just chuckled and poked my stomach making me laugh, "it's alright darling, as long as you're only a hufflepuff for me."

I smiled at his words, leaning up and kissing him again. This time much softer and shorter. "You want to take a nap for real?" I asked smiling sweetly at him, "sure love." I laid down, pulling him into my side. Luckily we were both already in loungewear since it was Saturday. He snuggled up into my chest and pulled the blankets over us. I kissed his forehead, and he looked up. "What?" I asked softly, he just poked his bottom lip out in a pout. "Oh who is the hufflepuff now." I said sarcastically, leaning down to give him a quick kiss. He smiled brightly and leaned back down onto my chest.

We slowly drifted off to sleep in each others arms.

After we got up, we headed to the library with Hermione and Ron. "Alright I get Harry, and you get Ron." I looked at Hermione, "and why is that?" She just rolled her eyes, "because everytime I try to study with Ron it just ends up as a snogging fest and I believe that you two are no different." I chuckled and nodded my head, "truthfully that's a brilliant idea, let's go weasel."

Ron huffed, "they treat us like children." He mumbled to Harry, who just patted his shoulder. "We did it to ourselves my love." Ron nodded, and hugged Harry, "I'll miss you my darling." Hermione and me broke out into a laugh, "oh the bromance is sickening, alright alright, Weasel love you're with me let's go." Ron rolled his eyes at me but followed me over to a table. "Is there anything you actually need help with?" I asked eyeing the redhead who shrugged sheepishly, "I don't think so, I get most of it." I sighed, "look Ron, you don't have to be embarrassed, I am going to ask Harry for help in defense against the dark arts. I may be a decent student but even I have weaknesses, it's alright."

He smiled, lightening up a bit, "you called me... well.. uh.. actually can you help me a bit with transfiguration, I'll never understand that bloody class." So we worked on transfiguration, Ron has a bright mind, you just have to find it. He's easily distracted, so I just had to make things interesting the way he could easily understand it. Ever since the trials, me and Ron had struggled with friendship. I knew deep down he was still holding some sort of resentment towards me. I liked being able to bond with him. I wanted to get along with everyone now, I didn't have it in me to live up to the Malfoy name anymore. I was proud to call myself a blood traitor nowadays.

We finished studying an hour or so later and went over to Harry and Hermiones table. "Alright Harry, now you gotta help us all with the dark arts." Harry sighed, "Merlin, you all just use me for good dark arts marks huh." We all chuckled at his sass and fake overdramaticness. (A/N I am aware that is not a word, leave me alone.) "Blimey Harry, you've been spending way too much time with Draco here." Ron said and we all froze looking at him.

"What? Do I have food on my face?" He asked sheepishly, "love, you just called him Draco. You've just never done that before." Ron shrugged, smiling at me, "I think it's about time we moved on from the last name bit, he's an alright bloke." I gave him a half hug ruffling his hair, "not too bad yourself weasel." I said winking at his glare.

We all laughed together. It was nice to finally be friends with the golden trio. Though I wish it was sooner, final exams are in a week, and who knew where we were all headed now. All I knew is with Harry by my side it was going to be amazing. I looked at him fondly, watching him laugh with his friends. "What?" He questioned eyeing me suspiciously. "I love you, that's all." He blushed kissing me quickly, "I love you too, darling."

A/N Unknown number will be shortly coming to an end. Not sure how many more chapters, I'm thinking of going to 25-30 somewhere in there. I am slowly running out of ideas and I don't want to drag it out.

I love the idea of a RonxDraco bromance though :)
