Weasley's and Trust
"I am tired of your antics." William Weasley said as he glared at Ron and Ginny.
The Headmaster of Durmstrang, Igor Karkaroff, gave him an empty classroom to talk to his two youngest siblings. The two youngest Weasleys had been causing trouble in their new school. They had been calling their fellow students evil and mini death eaters. To most, the mini Death Eaters comment did not bother the older students. Many of them thought being a Death Eater would be an honor. It was the evil comment that bothered them. They weren't evil. They just wanted to preserve their culture; was that so bad?
"We haven't done anything wrong." Ginny pouts, crossing her arms.
William looked at his youngest brother and noticed a difference. The redhead was squirming slightly and looked somewhat remorseful. It would explain what Lucius told him, who Heir Black had written. According to Heir Black, Ron had been spending time with one Alexandra Moody, the youngest child of Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody and his husband, Alexander Moody, and she had been educating him on the reality of what all had been happening and what the Dark stood for.
It was honestly a culture shock when William learned about it, so he knew what his brother likely felt. Funnily enough, it was Heir Ajax Moody who helped him learn. He internally laughed because it amused him that the Light honestly thought the House of Moody was Light when, in reality, they were Grey.
"Gin," Ron started softly. "We shouldn't be judging anyone here. None of them have done anything to harm us or others. Much less they are students like us."
"Ron is right, and if this behavior continues, I will be forced to discipline you the way I see fit, and Gin, you will not enjoy what I have in mind," William warns.
"What will you do?" She asks smugly.
"First, I will be, regardless, disowning our parents from the House of Weasley." He begins, causing her eyes to widen. "Secondly, I will force you to go to Aunt Muriel's Lady Lessons. She has been requesting I make you attend. Thirdly, I will no longer allow you, either of you, to owl Granger any longer."
"What! No!" Ginny exclaimed, standing. Her eyes trailed to Ron, who shrugged, his eyes downcast. "Ron, He can't do that!"
"He can. Besides, I stopped writing to her months ago. She couldn't understand why I was suddenly defending Malfoy."
"You defended Malfoy?" William asks without letting much give way to his emotions.
"Erm, well, she, that being Granger," Ron began nervously. "She wanted me to tell her about the ongoing of Malfoy and essentially spy on him. I told her that was ridiculous to do. She said he was evil incarnate and needed to be put down. I I may have sent a copy of the letter to Madame Bones and even shown the Headmaster here so he was aware as well..."
"You did the right thing, Ron. I am truly proud of you," William said softly. "I will now monitor your owls, Ginny, and you are not allowed to owl Granger. I am sure I do not have to inform you what will happen if you attempt to contact Molly or Arthur No-Names?"
"No."
"You can't do that!" Ginny shouts, standing.
"You will find that as your Head of Family House, I can! Do not contact them unless you wish to be disowned, Ginerva! Am I clear!?" William said with a raised voice as he stood.
"Yes.." She sighs, sitting down once more.
"Malfoy!"
Cygnus turned to see Ronald Weasley running his way. When he caught up to the blonde, the redhead looked flushed and out of breath. Cygnus stood tall and stoic-faced as he looked at his former friend.
"Yes, Weasley?"
"I," Ron sighs before bowing before him. "I, Ronald Billius Weasley, hereby apologize for all offenses caused by myself and all harm I have caused to Cygnus Malfoy, Heir Black. I offer myself in service to right any wrongs and accept any punishment the Malfoy Family hands me."
"You mean it..." Cygnus says in realization. A smile grew on his lips. "Y-You mean it!"
"Yes, I do," Ron says, not looking up.
"Dray! I have my first friend back!" Cygnus yells in childlike glee. He pulled Ron up and hugged him. "I missed you, Ron!"
Ron, although in shock, hugs back. The hug is awkward and full of surprise before the two boys hold each other tightly and tearfully. Draco smiles happily for his twin. Even if Cygnus never vocalizes it, he knows that losing Ronald Weasley caused his brother great turmoil. He is wary of the youngest male Weasley's apology and its sincerity. Yet, he concedes to watch them for a time.
"He is just going to accept it?" Blaise asked his friend in worry and shock. "Just like that?"
"Unfortunately, it seems so," Draco answered, watching with Blaise as his brother and the redhead caught up. "I cannot deny the seriousness of Weasley's apology, however."
"Wait, did he do one of the pureblood apologies?"
"He used the servitude apology," Draco admitted. "I do not think Mother and Father have gotten that far with Cygnus in their lessons. I will write them and have them explain it in full next lesson."
"That would be a good idea." Blaise sighed. "Hopefully, that means Weasley won't hurt him again."
"He better not, " the blonde sneers, "or I will personally deal with him this time."
"I would help," Blaise mutters before smiling as Cygnus approaches and kisses his cheek. "Hello, Love."
"Did Dray tell you the good news?!" The blonde asked, bouncing on his heels excitedly.
"He did. I am happy for you. If he hurts you again, though, tell Draco and I immediately, and we will take care of it, ok?"
Cygnus nodded sharply. "Of course. I trust you both with my life."
Both Blaise and Draco smiled in appreciation. They were happy to have his trust, especially after all he had been through. They knew his trust was hard to earn, so earning it and having him say it aloud meant everything to them.
