Sorry it took so long for me to update...first week of school, kinda busy. Icky.
Thanks for the reviews! I wasn't sure where it was going personally (Ariel S) so I'm glad I wasn't being predictable or anything. c[R]ud[E]dly- are you saying I should or shouldn't make it more racy? Or have a warning?
What do you guys think? Supposing more might happen between the two...you smut mongers! Hehe...I'm the one who wrote it so I'm even more guilty!

Chapter 18
A spike of black hair emerged from the folds of the curtain, enclosing the 4-poster bed. "Ron..." the all too familiar voice drew out.
"Um hmm?" Ron responded airily, who was in the bed, thumbing through his Transfiguration text.
The face and shoulder of Harry peaked though, "Could I have a word with you?" he asked.
Ron sat higher up on the bed, making room for his friend. "Sure, what's up?" he posed, as if he didn't just full out ravish his male enemy right in front of half of their respected houses in public.
"You know you are absolutely mad," the raven-haired head shook. "You should of seen Malfoy's face as you walked out."
Ron smiled sheepishly and laughed, "I can only imagine...I don't know what came over me. What did he do?"
Harry splayed across his half of the bed; residing on his side, head being supported by his elbow. "Well he stood there totally in shock, actually blushing and strolled back to his friends oh so casual before properly slamming his head down on the bar."
Ron's smile grew wider, "Brilliant!"
"But you are sure of what you just did, Ron? I mean everyone in the school is going to know and think you two are a couple or something," Harry continued warily.
"I know. I didn't think it through at all," he replied, scratching his head. "Now it's like...what to do?"
A voice cleared itself outside the bed and a boy slowly peeked his head through, "Um...Ron?" The voice slightly shook. Upon seeing Harry he cleared his throat again, "Oh sorry...didn't know you were in here, Harry. Am I interrupting?"
"Of course not Seamus. Come on in," Ron instructed to the boy in front of his bed. "I was right about to change the subject and ask if Hermoine cooled off yet."
Seamus laughed, a bit more relaxed, and situated himself so the three boys were in a triangle.
"Haven't seen her yet, but I'll have to make up some apology if I'm getting any tonight," Harry sighed jokingly.
Seamus looked at his watch, "Well you should find her soon. It's already 6."
"Oh shit, seriously? Okay well I guess I should. Bets as to what she's doing?" Harry asked, checking his watch.
Ron suggested with a smirk, "Slacking off, shopping her frustration away as any other girl?"
"Actually I did see her heading down the corridor to the right of the Great Hall," Seamus responded.
"Duh, library..." Harry nodded, rolling his eyes.
"That's where that leads to..." Seamus acknowledged forthrightly.
Ron pushed the Scot slightly, "Ah Seamus, you're worse than me," he joked. They two waved to Harry and wished him luck for his sake.
Seamus smiled and readjusted his position to stretch out his legs, "So Ron...um..."
Ron laughed, knowing already what he was alluding to, "Yeah?" he said with a smile.
"Are you and Draco like a couple or something?" he asked cautiously. "Harry said you weren't just taking the mickey out of him."
"No. There is...was...something going on but we're definitely not a couple," Ron informed him. "Are you alright about all of this?" Ron replied a little weary, "I understand it was quite an awkward way for me to come out."
"Oh me? Gods no. Don't you remember the way it was for me? During fucking truth and dare," he scoffed mocking the incident.
Ron's mind searched for that past confession, which came from Seamus a year ago. "Oh right, shit. Forgot. You never made a deal about it."
"Yeah and I figured it was best to keep it that way," he replied, looking down to focus on the bedspread.
Ron nodded, "Didn't exactly follow that path myself." They both snickered. "Have you been in many relationships?" he asked, already cursing himself for being so blunt.
"Well I'd been with this fifth year for a while, since the beginning of this year so about six months...but we just broke up last week," Seamus answered.
Ron's eyes dropped "Wow, sorry."
Seamus just shrugged in response; "He wanted to be with someone his own age instead."
"Shit, that sucks. Although I can sympathize; Draco didn't want to continue because...well..." Ron started.
"He's an asshole?" Seamus finished.
Ron snorted a laugh and nodded, "Yeah."
"Well then, what I want to ask of you isn't considered a favour then..." Seamus suggested. Ron looked at Seamus with bewilderment so he continued, "Suppose we make both of our interests jealous..."
"Hold it. I am not interested in Malfoy and I for one am not jealous," he stated slightly infuriated.
Seamus looked aback, "Alright, alright. Cool it Weasley, didn't say you were jealous."
Ron shook his head, "Course not. I'm not," he said indignantly.
"Right..." he looked back to his friend. "Well can you hear me out?" he asked.
"I already can guess what you've formulated and since I need to prove that me and Malfoy aren't a couple and I'm so nice...as well as extremely good looking," he said with a slight laugh, grinning proudly. "I'll play along and be your fuck buddy for a few days so your older man will get jealous," he consented.
Seamus was surprised at Ron's willingness but smiled and held out his hand to seal the deal, "Thanks Ron!"
Ron smiled and shook the hand. He always secretly considered Seamus attractive, mainly because the accent is what he decided.
"...And you never know, maybe Malfoy'll want another go as well?" he suggested.
"I am not jealous!" Ron said again, sitting up, angry and annoyed.
Seamus smiled and held back a laugh at Ron's defensiveness, "Okay, okay...let's start tomorrow. Looking forward to having meaningless sex with you!" he said with a wink before exiting.
Ron lay back on his bed and smiled at the thought. Now with Seamus he could get his mind off the silver eyed Slytherin who infiltrated his every thought process since he exited Hogsmeade.
He so was jealous.
