Chapter seven:
Ron.
*****
It was a cold night and Ron was laying on his bad with his eyes closed but he couldn't fall asleep. He looked down and saw Harry asleep.
Finally, some quiet, he thought to himself.
It was a while since Srius left and Harry fell asleep almost immediately after. Ron on the other hand was to troubled to fall asleep he had just found out what was troubling Harry.
If you asked him a few days ago whether or not he wanted to know what was troubling Harry he would have said yes in a heart- beat. But now, after he heard it with his very own ears he doubted the answer would remain the same.
He was definitely upset. It wasn't the fact that Harry was gay that troubled him he had suspected it for a while, it's just that he always thought of himself as open minded person and conveyed that massage to Harry.
Suddenly realization came to Ron's mind. He felt betrayed.
While Ron was analyzing his life, Harry's, Draco's and what's in between, the door opened slightly.
Ron heard a familiar voice calling softly for Harry to wake up. At that moment Ron wished to be anywhere but there.
Oh dear god
He thought to himself.
Why me, what have I done to disserve this torture.
But his fear of hearing something he would later have nightmares about was in vain. He realized Draco put a sound prove spell around Harry's bed.
Ron, whose mind refused to take a brake stayed awake 'till morning.
He looked occasionally down on Harry's bed, which was a mistake.
He occasionally spotted arms, legs, well more then he ever wanted to see from either Harry or Draco.
In the morning he spotted Draco sneaking out of the room. Strangely, or maybe not so strangely without his shirt.
Ron lay back on his bed. He felt torn between a variety of feelings. Guilt for eavesdropping to a very intimate conversation between Harry and Sirius, anger towards Harry for not telling him about his relationship with Draco. But the most confusing one was envy, which he couldn't explain.
Ron took a look at Harry who was lying in his bed with his eyes closed with a smug spread on his face.
How can I stand between that?.
*****
Harry got up feeling extremely happy he went to wake up Ron, but Ron was no longer in his bad.
Harry looked at Ron's empty bed and thought:
I wonder if he knows
He dismissed that thought and continued his morning ritual.
As he got down for breakfast and noticed Ron wasn't there either. He went to sit next to Hermione.
He sat quiet for a while, but then he suddenly turned towards Hermione and asked:
"Have you seen Ron today?"
"Yea, he got out just a few moments before you came in", said Hermione with as much innocence as she could master.
"You're not telling me something", said Harry.
Hermione sighed and muttered "He found out your little secret"
"Oh shit", Harry exclaimed.
"Harry, watch your language", Hermione said.
"Herm', it's Ron and it's not a little secret" Harry lowered his voice noticing that people began to stare.
"Can you really blame him" said Hermione and continued "it's not enough that your best friend is gay. There is also that little thing of your lover being Ron's greatest enemy and to top that you didn't tell him because you were to scared he wouldn't understand, which comes to show that you don't trust him"
"You're right". Harry got up turned around and walked out of the great hall.
*****
As the day went by Harry discovered Ron was constantly trying to avoid him.
The last two classes before lunch were double Potions.
They were working with extremely dangerous and rare ingredients, and had to sit in quartets to perform the potion.
Hermione who sat next to Ron joined Draco and Harry with an unsuccessful attempt to make peace between Harry and Ron.
They were working quietly and Harry was throwing stolen glances at Ron, who was shooting suspicious glances between Snape and Hermione like he was trying to decide which one to kill first.
Yet he never once looked at Harry.
Harry decided he would find Ron after lunch and clear things out.
After double potions was over every one gone to lunch. The silence was unbearable and so were Hermione's pathetic tries to make Harry and Ron talk to each other.
As the dinner ended Ron got up and went outside the great hall. Harry got up and followed him outside.
Ron knew Harry was following him and quickened his step. As they neared the lake Harry came close enough to Ron and yelled:
"Ron wait up, we need to talk"
"We have noting to talk about", yelled Ron coming to a stop and turning around.
"Yes, we do, and you know it. You can't just get up one morning and say what a beautiful morning, what should I do on this glorious morning, oh, I know won't talk to Harry for starters".
"Oh, so now you care but when it comes to telling your best friend your secret it's I can't trust him"
"Ok, you know what, I'll talk to you later. It's clearly that you are in no state to listen to a voice of reason" Harry yelled back, turned around and went to the Gryffindor common room.
Ron waited for a while and then headed back as well.
Neither of them had noticed eyes watching them from a far.
