Harry potter is jealous. Jealous of Ron. He just admitted it to himself. He took one more gulp of firewiskey looking into the window dozed out in his own thoughts. He is sitting in the living room in his flat which he bought three months ago. Snow is falling outside and so many thoughts are riling up in his mind. He looked at the two empty bottles of firewiskey he never drinks that much. He occasionally takes firewiskey, but not that much. But today all the suppressed feelings he was holding back are surfaced. He is the bloody boy who lived who gone through a war, ended Voldemort, an auror, a celebrity who is recognized in the whole wizarding world and here he is, jealous of his best friend who is just recognized as sidekick to the famous Harry potter. He recalled all the events that led to his current state of his mind.
It all started after the end of the war. He along with Ron and Hermione told everything about their whereabouts of the past year and about horcruxes to Kingsley who was made temperory Minister of magic, to the weasleys and the rest of the order. Then they faced the media and retold the events skipping about horcruxes part. Then they attended a full month of funerals of the people who lost their lives in the battle including Remus, Tonks, Colin creevey and Fred weasley.
Then they are back to the Burrow. It started then, Ron became suddenly so matured that he was the one in the family who brought back George from the grief of Fred's death. He also helped his mother to recover. And then along with Hermione he went Australia and helped her tracking and bringing her parents back. Harry never seen Ron so matured, understanding and well wised up. He got control of his emotions, he became more patient. And the reason for all these was of course Hermione. Since from the time they got together Ron became very much confident. He got over all the insecurities which he carried throughout his life.
On the other hand Harry after returning to the Burrow seeing the grief stricken faces of the weasleys who are like his family in everything except blood was immersed himself in blaming himself for everything happened to the victims of the war for first few days until he was set straight by Ron and Hermione. Then he went to Ginny and cleared the air between them and he too tried to help the weasleys. In the meantime they got offer from Kingsley for the auror training which Harry and Ron accepted. Hermione decided to return Hogwarts and they expected that and their future plans were made.
After Hermione and Ginny gone to Hogwarts he and Ron moved out of Burrow. Ron moved into Fred and George's flat above the Joke shop where he worked there in between his time during auror training. Whereas Harry thought of buying a flat but decided it could wait until Ginny returns from Hogwarts and he rented a flat. In the auror training, Ron who leaves the work till the last minute surprised Harry even more by actually taking the training very seriously and was very passionate about it. And his skills improved very much that he can give Harry run for his money.
That was the first time he was truly jealous of his friend. Ron has got everything Harry wished to have. He have family with mother and father, brothers and a sister, he didn't had a dark wizard on his back to kill him , he was getting his dream job and importantly he would have normal and peaceful life which are all harry wanted in his life. He hated his celebrity status, he hated people gawking at him and at his scar, old habits doesn't change fast. Ron has also have a fair share of celebrity status but not as much annoying as harry. And harry started hating the fact that Ron has became so perfect and confident. All the weasleys are so proud of Ron, how he helped George and stood as the backbone to his family and helped them. Hermione was also so proud of him that she always talks about him. Harry started to feel he was being neglected. He wanted the attention of weasleys on him, he wants Hermione mothering him, he want to play quiditch with weasleys and chess with Ron. But all are giving more and more attention to Ron even in the training the mentors are so impressed by Ron. Harry was also recognized but since he defeated the Voldemort all his skills were over estimated and it didn't help at all. The jealousy was growing steadily in him.
After Hermione and Ginny returned from Hogwarts Ginny moved into his flat and Hermione and Ron together got a flat. Ron saved money from the auror training and working in the shop and surprised Hermione by buying a flat. Harry also took the flat which was rather expensive and larger than that of Ron and convinced himself that it was not due to any competition just for more comfort.
And the final straw was today when Harry went to meet his godson Teddy along with Ron, Hermione and Ginny. Teddy took liking for Ron instantly and he was more comfortable with Ron then himself. The jealousy in Harry took its peak. From there they went to the Burrow for the dinner. Ginny stayed there for the night and Harry returned to his flat. As soon as he reached his flat he started drinking firewiskey.
Harry got up from the comfy chair he was sitting. He made a decision. He will prove Ron is not perfect. He will prove Ron is still immature. He will bring the old insecure Ron back. For that he has to break Ron's confidence and Ron got his confidence because he got Hermione. He thinks he is special, since Hermione is with him. An evil smile appeared on Harry's face. He got a plan. First he had to meet Viktor krum…
