A/N: Thank you to everyone reading and reviewing this story. I really appreciate it. Characters are OOC in some aspects or it wouldn't be fanfiction. :) Enjoy.   I answered the reviews at the bottom. Harry and Draco will have their first kiss coming up in the next couple of chapters for all those wanting more Harry/Draco. :)
Warnings: A few sweet moments and one crazy fangirl moment.

Ron looked up to see Blaise standing over him. He was curious to how long the Slytherin had been close to him, but no one was around when Ginny left. It was most likely that Blaise had come out there within the last five to ten minutes. An odd feeling found its way into the pit of Ron’s stomach. He shouldn’t have this reaction to Blaise’s presence even after the strange compliment last night.
“Stalking me now?” Ron asked with a bit of a lazy smile. Another part of his strategy had fallen into place and he wasn’t ready to give up the feeling of victory, but he still had to get more interaction between Harry and Draco. Maybe he should lock them in a closet….
“Hardly.” Blaise said as he sat down next to Ron. Normally, he wouldn’t do such a thing, but unfortunately they were partners and needed to work together. He was assessing whether or not he’d be doing all the work or if Ron would pitch in and if the work would be adequately done. “Still, you are out here smiling like a cat that got extra cream for breakfast. As I said last night, it is very off-putting. I want to say you are scheming something, but the other two parts of the Golden Trio seem to have no idea of it.”
Ron snorted. “I am not planning anything really, but even if I was, why would Harry or Hermione need to be a part of it?” he asked looking at Blaise.
“Are you serious? You doing something completely on your own would not only be showing some odd, latent Slytherin traits, but isn’t Granger usually the brains of the operations?” Blaise asked keeping his voice neutral though Ron had piqued his interest. Was the other planning something and what did it involve?
“Perhaps it was all just strategy to make others think I wasn’t as smart as either of them.” Ron said still lying on the grass. Just because Blaise came out here and sat next to him didn’t mean that he had to suddenly sit up. He was sure that Blaise didn’t want to get in trouble for hexing him and risk possible expulsion in his last year of school.
Blaise looked away thoughtfully. “I suppose that could be the case, but I think you would have slipped up by now. There is no way for anyone not in the Slytherin house to hold up such a strong pretense.”
Ron chuckled a bit. “So you say. After all, how exactly would you know Zabini? The Slytherin house is not known for its warm and fuzzy attitude towards students from other houses. I am typically around Harry and/or Hermione most of the time. You rarely ever see me on my own without others from the Gryffindor house. They have made their names more prominent than mine. Consider this. My reputation is that I am a short-tempered hothead who doesn’t care much about school and has issues with your wonderful band of snakes.”
Blaise frowned a bit. “So what you are telling me is that you are nothing like that?”
“What I am telling you is that you see what you want to see.” Ron answered with another smile. “Why is it that hard to believe? I am part of the so-called Golden Trio and we have done many things that grown wizards shied away from, like facing off against Death Eaters and the Dark Lord before this year. It really isn’t that much of a stretch to realize I could have been hiding how I really think or feel.”
There was silence. Neither one of them said anything as they mulled over this new information. Ron was still enjoying his peaceful victory and Blaise was processing what he just learned. A quick look around the place showed that they were outside alone.
“If what you are telling me is true…” Blaise started before he turned and bent down a bit in hopes of getting Ron to confess due to being uncomfortable and to try and catch a lie in his eyes. A Slytherin would use any means necessary to obtain information. “What are you scheming?”
Ron leaned up until he was only an inch and a half from Blaise’s face. “Wouldn’t you love to know?” he said keeping eye contact as their breath was mingling. “Time for class.” Ron moved and got up going off to their DADA class. Snape had to teach some remedial classes and decided the seventh years could be moved to another two hours during the week.
He felt a bit strange as he walked through the halls because he truly had been very close to kissing his class partner. What on earth was he thinking? Then again, why did he want to repeat such an action? It felt fun and a bit like an adrenaline rush. He had already admitted to himself that the other was rather attractive, but it wasn’t part of his strategy to get Harry and Draco together.
Ron toyed with the idea of possibly asking Blaise to help him with it later on. While they had that rather close moment just now, he didn’t know the other well enough to want to think of anything more. They could use their study time for both plotting and studying should he invite the other to help him with his strategies. In fact, the closeness that could be developed between him and Blaise as friends, at least, could encourage Harry and Draco to admit their secret feelings for one another.
He could just imagine it now. Those two would be all happy and everyone else might need a few moments to see his fantastic vision as wonderful, but it would provide for not only the happiness of his best friend, but also the wonderfulness of his planning coming together. The excitement of the year would be complete and by graduation, Ron would be dancing with success. He was pretty sure the Great Hall tables could survive his victory dance. He would even come up with a full routine for it.
In the meantime, he had to think of a way to get another interaction between Harry and Draco. They were partners for this class, but that didn’t mean they would work together. For all he knew, they would each research part of the project and then owl each other notes on how it should be completed never talking to one another for more than five or ten minutes.
Maybe he could get them to sit together in…. class….
As Ron walked into the room, he saw that the seating arrangement had changed. Everyone was now sitting next to their Defense Against the Dark Arts partner. Ron’s eyes lit up momentarily before they went back to normal. If Remus wasn’t so old, he’d kiss him right now because this was absolutely perfect.
He found his seat behind the two rivals and thankfully the seats were a bit more towards the back of the classroom. This means there were quite a few Slytherins and Gryffindors so it wouldn’t look as obvious that a spell came from him should he choose to cast one. The class started and Remus began explaining that the project would involve an oral presentation as well as a report that both parties had to work on.   The oral presentation was to include a demonstration of the curse, creature, and/or counter curse used.
It was advised that they get started on the project as soon as possible and to take advantage of unused classrooms, the grounds, and more to practice their oral presentations to make sure the spells were performed perfectly. Lupin stated that he would be taking away points for improperly performed spells and incomplete presentations. He expected to see actual cooperation on the project even between the inter-house groups. Lupin walked back to his desk and waved his wand using a light spell to give each student a list of pre-approved topics. They were allowed to suggest their own topics as long as they ran the topics past him first.
Ron was looking over the list but secretly glanced at Harry and Draco. The two rivals seemed to be in a nice little debate over which project to do. He glanced at his partner and noticed Blaise was checking off topics and searching for them in the book to judge how much research they would need to do outside of it for each one. Ron’s attention went back to the soon to be couple and he quietly whispered a compulsion spell that would make Harry go along with anything Draco wanted to do for the project.
The slight frown on Harry’s face shined when the other had agreed to Draco’s topic choice of Dark and Light spells being interchangeable. Ron would pretend that glare only held the undying respect Harry had for Draco’s brilliant choice of topics regardless of the spell that was cast. He glanced over to see Blaise packing up his things.
“Come on. Let’s go to the library and start getting research done. I figured we can do the project on dealing with several different creatures and the spells to deter and kill them.” Blaise said as he packed up his things.
Ron nodded and packed up all of his things as well. Different creatures might involve a bit of transfiguration for the project in order to show everything properly and a lot of spell practice if they were going to show how to get rid of the more dangerous ones. He noticed Harry and Draco getting up to leave as well and decided they could all walk together.
“Hey Harry… Wait up!” Ron called out as he reached his best friend. “What are you guys doing for your project?”
Harry looked at Ron with an almost pouty look. Draco would love to kiss those lips, Ron thought as he waited patiently for Harry to speak. “We are going to do our project on dark and light spells being interchangeable. I don’t truly think they can be, but Malfoy insists.”
“Of course I insist, Potter. They can easily be interchangeable and used for either the dark or light in a negative way. If you would actually take the time to use what little brain you have then you would see this.” Draco said rolling his eyes.
“I would see that you are trying to claim that light spells that are used mainly for protection are also dark and can also be used to truly hurt people. If that was the case, why hasn’t there been a dark wizard who has used nothing but light spells in order to take over? I am pretty sure Voldemort used mainly dark spells to take control of everyone.” Harry countered as they all left the classroom.
Draco took a deep breath even though it seemed he was just being quiet a moment. “That is not how people think. If you aren’t seeing the logic behind using both light and dark spells in the opposite way, then why do you expect that the damn Dark Lord saw it that way? Seriously Potter, it is a very simple concept that you will realize when we actually begin to research the spells.” Draco said seriously wanting to bang his head off of something.
Ron was biting the inside of his lip not to smile as those two talked more. Wonderful! Draco could show Harry that these things were interchangeable and could be used for both purposes and then Harry would basically fall for Malfoy’s intelligence. Draco would see that Harry was a bit stubborn, but easy to teach and he would fall in love with Harry’s inability to bend to his very will. A perfectly opposite match made in heaven.
As he was lost in his thoughts, he accidentally bumped into Harry, which in turn caused Harry to lose his footing a bit and tumble slightly into Draco. This was an unplanned part of the strategy at this stage, but as he saw Harry basically cling to Malfoy’s robes instinctually to stop himself from falling, he had to admit it was perfect. The two just looked at each other for a moment as if they were not sure who would speak first and if Ron was a fangirl he’d be squealing right now. Ok. He would mentally squeal at the picturesque moment.
Unfortunately, Harry straightened up blushing in embarrassment and apologized. Draco just seemed annoyed by the whole thing and they continued walking together to the library albeit talking quieter than before so people wouldn’t overhear their conversation. Ron followed wondering how he could make this better when…
“Interesting.” Blaise said from beside him in a low whisper. He had forgotten Blaise was there at the moment somewhere around the time, Harry and Draco were asking him to be their best man in his head. “I think your little scheme involves them. Actually I am about 95% sure that it does.”
Ron opened his mouth to say something before Blaise cut him off.
“No worries, Weasley. I don’t plan to tell them. I am merely curious as to why them, but I suppose that is a question for another time.” he said continuing into the library.
Ron wasn’t sure what to think but he may need to figure out a way to get Zabini off his trail if the other seemed like he was going to betray his plan. As he was about to follow Harry, Draco, and Blaise into the library, Ginny came up to him.
“Hey Ron… could I talk to you for a minute?” Ginny asked nervously fiddling with her thumbs.
Ron wondered what was wrong. Did Harry and she actually do more than she let on? He sincerely hoped that didn’t happen. His plans included basically serving Harry up to Draco on the virginal silver platter by the end of this and Harry not being a virgin really threw the proverbial wrench into that plan.   “Sure Ginny… what is it?”
“Well I was… well I was thinking about what you said… and” Ginny looked around as she shifted on her feet. “I realized that Harry may not be opening up because we are just dating and so I decided to fix that problem.”
“How did you plan to fix that problem?” Ron asked slowly not sure he wanted the answer. He had prepared for her to try and talk to Harry and him to push her away. He had even prepared for her to fight for Harry, but this didn’t sound much like the ways he thought she would.
Ginny smiled brightly. “I’m going to ask Harry to marry me!”
Bloody Hell.

SlythindorMalfoy: Thank you very much for reviewing. Sorry but it is too late for Ron/Hermione considering most people voted for Ron and Blaise. As much as I love Hermione and Pansy, I am not sure about putting them together or how to fit that in there. Feel free to suggest another person for her if you would like.

Tommy-Lane: Thank you very much for reviewing. Honestly, I think Ginny is going about this completely wrong. lol. She will be out of the picture soon though. I always hated how they never seemed to have any real intimacy or well... talk much at all. Snape is weirded out by a lot of things. :) As for Blaise helping Ron well you will probably get your wish. Ron needs to know somethings that Draco might like and why not have a sexy Blaise along the way. ;)

delia cerrano: Thank you very much for reviewing. I think I am having too much fun writing a Ron that actually has brains and truly uses his full strategic potential along with his um... "Drarry fangirl" moments. lol. He is still a bit iffy about more with Zabini but that will change. Ginny will also be gone soon because I don't like her or Mrs. Weasley much either.
