Draco was feeling totally out of place.Hermione had gone with Ginny,Angelina and Fleur for a private chat about what god only knows.Mr Weasley was talking with Harry and Bill.Mrs Weasley was cooking.He was tye only one alone.

He went near the kitchen.

"Hello Draco!Want anything?"Molly asked sweetly,to Draco's surprise.

"Nothing Mrs Weasley."he answered.

Molly smiled.

"You do seem to chave changed,Draco.I am so happy for you.Hermione always makes the right choices."Molly said,smiling.

Draco was surprised.He had thought that the Weasleys were uncivilized people with on manners.This was exactly the opposite.

He went to the hall and was called by Arthur.

He sat with them.

"So,Mal....Draco,what work are you doing?"

"Working in the Auror's office,Mr Weasley"

"Ohh,then you must know Harry!!And Ron too!"

"No,Mr Weasley.Draco works in the higher deparments,he is the soo to be head of the Auror department."said Harry.

Arthur looked surprised.

"That is great.And Harry,i wanted to ask you about your quidditch life.What is your aim?"

"Well,i want to join the Red streakers and will go for the try outs soo.The famous seeker Colombus Sickleknut just left."

"And why not the Swizzing Snakes?They are a popular team too.They have won a pot of international matches too.And the producer of that team must be minting galleons,you know"

"Dad,Draco here is the producer."said Bill.

Arthur looked surprised again.

"Huh?I thought that the Magical green produced that team!!That is the most successful businesses company for ages..."

"For which Draco here is the owner....I have the gringotts records dad.With his three vaults fully filled up,he has opened a fourth one.You know a vault can hold millions of galleons..."said Bill.

"My my!!All these achievements in such an age!!Marvellous!!"Arthur patted Draco.Harry smiled.

Draco gave a surprised grin.He started answering to Arthur's questions while Bill and Harry talked.

I am flying Jack!!I am flying!!

"Ohh yess!!"sniffed Ginny beside Hermione and Angelia and Fleur.

They were watching titanic.

"Leonardo looks cute right?"asked Hermione."Yess!!So hawt that i don't mind leaving Harry!!"said Ginny.Hermione was shocked.Ginny laughed.

"'wat do 'yeh all think 'about eatin 'opcorrn??"asked Fleur,her eyes sticked to the t.v. that Hermione had conjured.

With a flick of Hermione's wand,all the four were munching popcorns in a moment.The movie went well.They all cried in the end.

Even after the movie ended,Hermione couldn't console the trio.They were crying like hell.

"Awww!!!Wawawa!!Jack!!Jack!!"

"Sniff!Sniff!Rose died too!!"

"Ahh!!What love !!"

Hermione thought they were a bit over reacting.After she had managed to stop their wailings,all the four apparated down to the snow filled garden and played a lot in the snow.

Draco excused himself from the three and headed upstairs to the girls' room.He wanted to see Hermoine.He opened the door and immediately regretted it.

George,Charlie,Percy,Ron were laughing and talking.An awkward silence fell over the room when the door was opened by Draco.

"Sorry!!Im..I'll leave"said Draco,flushing.

"Come in Malfoy!!Join us dude!!"said George.The others were silent.

"Um..are you sure??"asked Draco,seeing the others silent.

"Sure!!"said George.He closed the door and entered,sitting beside Ron who had a sour look.

"We are playing Dauntless or Candor"said Charlie.

"Uh..what?"Draco asked,confused

"C'mon Malfoy!!Haven't.you read Divergent?"asked Ron in a snotty voice.

"Nope!"he said,popping on p.

While Percy explained,Ron was glaring at Draco.He never liked him.He uad only one theory about him.

Once a Malfoy,always a Malfoy.

He disliked him being with Hermoine.It was not out if jealousy he had thought so.From the time he had laid his eyes on his beloved,his love for Hermoine became a brotherly one.

And he thought that he was getting close to hurt and fool her.Taking revenge for what had happened.He did not believe him.

After everything was explained,there was a wand in the middle and it rotated and a few words appeared above it.

Percy and George.

Everyone roared.

"Candor,i suppose bro?"asked George.

Percy smiled.

"As always."he said.

George thought for a moment...

"How many times did you make out with Penelope during your fifth year?"

Percy's face became as red as his hair.

"Um...well...a few times."he stammered.

"Eighty six-to be precise...saw.in you dairy!!"said.George.

Percy started talking about privacy and decency and stuff.

George mocked at him.The wand rotated again.

Draco and Ron

Shit thought Draco.He knew that Ron would try and get back to him.

Bloody hell!!thought Ron.He had wanted to end the day without andy hassels and here it was,on its way.

"Candor or Dauntless?"aaked Ron in a dry voice.

Draco thought that if he chose dauntless,then Ron would give him a dangerous task.

"Candor"

There was silence.

Ron had never seen this coming.

"Um....whom,in this world,do you love more than yourself?"he asked.He smirked.

If he lied,the wand would know.He would be exposed.Ron knew that he would say Hermione and get caught.

"Hermione Granger"

The wand stayed silent for a moment and spinned again,showing

Charlie and Percy.

No one said anything."This wand doesn't work.It did not find the lie Malfoy just said."cried Ron.everyone was startled.Draco was baffled."Ron!!What are you playing at?"asked Percy in shock."Ron..ask sorry to Malf...Draco."said Charlie.

Ron was very angry.He couldn't belive that his own brothers were fraternising with the enemy!!

He got up and held Draco by the collar.But was unable to pull....even move him.George sniggered."You wanna lift Draco Ronnekins?"Ron's face flushed.He got allhis power and punched Draco on his face.All of them got up and pulled Ron back,who was screaming at the top of his voice.

"You bloody bouncing ferret!!Filthy pureblood!!"he went on.Hearing the sounds from above got Molly,Arthur,Bill and Harry up.They were shocked to see Ron fuming and Draco with a swollen Eye.Harry went to his rescue.He cast a few spells and the swelling reduced to a purple scar.

Molly was furious.She heard the incident from Percy.From that,she knew that Drco truly changed and lived Hermione more than anything else.Not that she did not believe before but that just got confirmed.She turned,dead angry,and faced the scared Ron.

"RONALD BILLUS WEASLEY!!I am soo upset by you BARBARIC BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS OUR GUEST!!And that too...ON CHRISTMAS!!From tomorrow,YOU ARE GROUNDED!!FOR A MONTH!!Now....OFF TO YOUR ROOM NOW!!!"

Ron was scared to death.He scambled to his room.Molly's face turned from anger to concern on seeing Draco.

"I am soo sorry dear!I apologize for Ron's behavior.I hope you are all right..."she said.Draco managed to smile.

"I am fine,Mrs Weasley and you don't need to apologize.Ron thought i had bad intentions towards Hermione.He was concerned for her.And it is wholly my mistake.If i had not,in the past,behaved in a way that made him think that i was fooling people,why would he do this?And i am fine.Thank you."

Saying this,he dashed down.All of them in the room were shocked by what Draco told.

"Marvellous change."said Percy.

"Hermione is lucky."was all said by the damp eyed Molly.

Draco went through the back door to a bench.He cleaned off the snow and sat in deep thought.He himself couldn't believe what he had said to Molly.He got so angry when ron doubted his love for Hermione.He wanted to punch Ron on his face but couldn't,just thinking of how sad hermione would be if she knew.

He thought about how molly had scolded her own son in a very rude way for him.He thought ofhow kind the Weasleys had been from the time of his arrival.They were a good and united family who had all the fun and enjoyment,despite the fact that they were purebloods.

Draco liked the Weasleys...they had not been as bad as he had thought...
