blaise x ron platonic - "I don't think I would be able to seduce a cabbage, never mind another human"

"So, what happened on your end this week since our previous victory?" Blaise asked Ron, raising an eyebrow.
"Harry's still continuously stalking Malfoy," drawled Ron. "And fiercely denied anything when I mentioned the Amortentia. Your end?"
Ron and Blaise had been enemies ever since the first year, but they'd developed an alliance when they were forced to work on a project together last year - and noticed that their respective best friends showed signs of being obsessed with each other.
'Project Drarry,' they had called it. The aims were very simple. Get Harry and Draco to realize that their obsessive stalking meant they were into each other, and give them the extra...encouragement needed to get together. They'd gotten nowhere with that until last week, when Slughorn had them brewing Amortentia. Draco and Harry had basically told Blaise and Ron respectively that they smelled each other. They had the proof.
They'd reported it back to each other with triumph.
"Well, Draco said I was ridiculous when I tried to bring up Amortentia," said Blaise. "He didn't care. There's nothing much on my end, besides him thinking Potter's an obnoxious stalker."
"Not that Malfoy was any better in our early years," scoffed Ron.
"I always thought he insulted him a bit too much," winked Blaise. "And the one time last year when people in Slytherin thought it'd be funny to give Draco a love potion that made him fall for Potter, and absolutely nothing happened."
"Younger me would have thought the idea of Harry with Malfoy would've been completely mental," mentioned Ron. "And yes, the idea's still mental, but -"
"Completely reasonable at the same time? Not to mention all the bloody innuendos they keep giving each other without knowing," said Blaise, rolling his eyes.
"How did they do that?" asked Ron. "I don't think I'd be able to seduce a cabbage, never mind another human."
Blaise snorted at that statement. "You're doing good with Brown, though."
"Lavender's getting annoying by the second," shuddered Ron, shaking his head. "I'm considering ending it with her."
"So you can get in Granger's pants?" chuckled Blaise, raising an eyebrow.
"I knew there was a reason I didn't like you," glared Ron, his face turning red.
"Feeling's mutual, don't worry. But honestly, what should we do about those two?" asked Blaise.
"Lock them in a closet together and force them to admit it?" suggested Ron.
"Yes, thank you for your input," Blaise said sarcastically. You always suggest that."
"And you always dismiss it as too simple and drastic of a plan," retorted Ron. "There were obvious hints before, but now we know for sure they like each other because of the Amortentia. They'll be stuck together, meaning they'll have no choice to talk to each other. And isn't that the whole point of us tolerating each other in the first place?"
Blaise still thought the closet idea was ridiculous. It seemed like it'd work. It also seemed too cliche - and there was no telling what kind of harm they'd do to each other before getting to the 'calm down and talk' phase. As of the current moment, they were both tense around each other. This wasn't one of those muggle movies.
He just wanted to prove the Weasel wrong for once in his life.
"Alright, Weasley," he drawled. "I'll humor you. Let's try the closet plan. I'll get Draco to go to the seventh floor closet, and you get Potter to come too," he said. "We'll just see what happens."
(The plan ended up working. Draco and Harry ended up a couple. And Ron had been so smug about it that Blaise had threatened to throw him in the Black Lake.
He couldn't deny that the Weasel was growing on him, just a little bit.)
