Ron watched Juliet oddly as she sat under a tree, a sketch book in hand after she'd picked up the hobby over the summer. He watched her looked to Slytherin, back down at the book for a moment, then back at them again. Anger rushed through his veins, he could imagine Malfoy would have destroyed her drawings or tore her pages. The youngest Weasley boy stormed over, chest heaving, wanting to see the damage before nailing him in the nose.
When Ron got close he expected Juliet to look at him with sad eyes, ones that always broke his heart in two. But instead he was met with shiny, dazzled chestnut orbs that blinked behind her lashes, "Ronnie."
"What are you doing?" he asked, taking a breath to calm his anger he had just moments before, sitting next to her quickly. Juliet tilted the book toward him, pushing the pencil behind her ear to show off the drawing. Ron cleared his throat as he stared down at the outline of the fours faces, she'd captured their features so perfectly from so far away. Ron didn't understand what she had drawn Pansy, Blaise, Theo, and Draco for.
"I wanted to use watercolors to paint the green in but Professor Frog Face wouldn't let me go into the art room to get them." Juliet said with a roll of her eyes, leaning back on the bark to glance toward Ron, "Bloody moron she is."
"Yeah." Ron agreed as he looked down again, not wanting to ruin her mood by questioning her, knowing his words would come off rude and jealous. He was jealous, very, "So... you guys are friends now?"
"Not friends." Juliet said with a shrug, "Just not enemies."
"Why's that?" there was the tone he was scared to say anything for, the angered and snappy tone. Juliet snapped her head to him quickly with a look of disbelief.
"Don't you speak to me that way." Juliet spoke calmly as she stare at him, "What's your problem?"
"Them, they're my problem." Ron spoke annoyed and angrily as the two stood on sync, "I don't understand why you're all of a sudden hanging around them."
"I'm not hanging around them." Juliet snapped back at him defensively and angry, "Because I draw a picture we're all of a sudden best friends?"
"It's not just the picture, Juliet, it's everything. You left the Great Hall with Pansy, you took a walk around the lake with Blaise." Ron spoke annoyed, watching Juliets face fall considering she hadn't thought he noticed, "You're acting all secretive but get mad at me when I do."
Juliet blinked, she didn't know what to say, she hated keeping things from him but telling Ron wouldn't just be effecting her, "I-I can't tell you."
Ron's face fell slightly before he put on the angered and annoyed expression to hide his hurt, "Thats the problem then, isn't it?"
With that he walked away, leaving her under her tree as she huffed, "Ron! Ron, come back."
But he was long gone, and all she was doing was making a scene.
