Summer Love - Ron Weasley

1 - Malfoy Manor

- Viewer discretion is advised

Growing up in Malfoy Manor wasn't as luxurious as most people thought it to be.

My father being a wealthy, pretentious asshole and my mother fawning over his every move, too scared to go against what he says.

They barely gave a care to me and my twin brother, Draco.

Even though he's only a few minutes older than me, he acts as though those minutes are years.

He's always been protective over me but it's gotten worse ever since I've gone through puberty.

"I like your outfit, Elena." Neville tells me.

I smile in response. I open my mouth to properly thank him, but Draco cuts me off.

"Well if you like living, I suggest you walk away Longbottom. Quickly." Draco threatens him.

Neville gulps nervously before speeding down the corridor. I glare up at Draco and he shrugs.

"Neville? You're going to threaten Neville?" I query.

"A guy's a guy. I know what he really meant." he replies.

Nonetheless, I love my "big brother". He looks after me and I do the same.

My father and mother always tried to instill pureblood supremacy into Draco and I, but we weren't having it.

Draco and I never paid too much attention to where a wizard or with came from.

If you were a good person, good enough to be our friend, that's all that mattered.

Then again, we never had friends before Hogwarts. We grew up in the manor. It was just us.

That's not the point of this story, though.

Let me take you back to where it all began to go to shit...

2 years ago

"I still can't believe they allow filthy mudbloods into Hogwarts." Lucius spat.

"Father." I mumbled.

He looked at me with disgust in his eyes before he hissed.

"I don't suppose you're standing for those filthy creatures, are you?"

"No, father." I lied.

I tried to tune him out as he droned on and on about how mudbloods shouldn't be associated with purebloods or whatever nonsense was spewing from his mouth.

I flipped through the pages of my Potions textbook as I heard someone descend the stairs.

There's a really interesting section about the Draught of Peace in here.

If Hermione and I had our own little lab, we could make Harry a bunch of this. Ron, too. Oh and especially Neville.

Now that I think about it, we could make a fortune off this at school. A lot of people could use this and I might be the one to help them.

"Wouldn't you agree Elena?" someone asked.

I remove my head from the book and I look up and see Draco is the one that joined us.

"Wh-. I'm sorry. What's the question?" I queried.

"Draco here says that mudbloods earned their place in the wizard world just as much as we did and they deserve our respect. To which I countered and said I wouldn't give those bastards the gum off the bottom of my shoe." Father guffaws.
