Bill and Harry sat cuddled next to each other in front of the blazing fire. Bill's arm was around Harry's waist, holding the body close to his, not that Harry was complaining about the proximity.

Christmas dinner was finished, and both Bill and Harry were feeling lethargic. All they really wanted to do was go to sleep wrapped in each other's arms. They couldn't leave yet so sitting next to each other in front of a fireplace would have to do for now.

Ron sat across the room, far away from them, and a glare aimed at the two. He remembered when Harry had been his best friend and Bill was his older brother. He knew technically that was still true, but lately, Ron was the odd man out.

He was forced to watch the two stare longingly at each other before they got together. And after they finally admitted their feelings, Ron thought everything would get better, but he was wrong. Now they were always together, and it left Ron feeling bereft.

He wanted his best friend back. He wanted things back to the way they were when they were at Hogwarts. Minus Voldemort of course.

But, as long as Harry and Bill were in their little bubble of love, Ron didn't see that happening any time soon.

Don't get him wrong. Ron was glad that Harry and Bill were so happy together, but did they have to be happy together all the time.

When would they have time for Ron? When would Harry have time for a chess game or Bill have time for Gobstones? It just wasn't fair.
