Ron hardly slept that night, still laying on his bed fully clothed he didn't even bother getting under the sheets. His anger towards Harry had gradually faded into disappointment. They were best friends, best bloody friends, and Harry had gone after Hermione knowing that Ron liked her.

And seriously, what girl wouldn't choose Harry over Ron? Sure, Ron wasn't the same as when he was fourteen (thankgod!) and no one would consider him hideous, it was just up against Harry he didn't stand a chance. Ron was attractive in a subtle way, his once orange hair now faded to a dark auburn and always slightly messy and tousled in that cute I-just-got-out-of-bed-way. Quidditch playing had done good things to Ron as well as Harry, Ron was just naturally skinner and it didn't tend to show as well as Harry. And Ron didn't tend to go for that designer look of faded denim and black leather. He preferred whatever pants were comfy and well-worn t-shirts of his favourite muggle sports and bands.

Ron sighed and turned over. He just couldn't get past the fact that Harry knew that Ron had liked Hermione and had still done what he had done. He knew Harry had a tendency to always have a girl hanging off him, but how could he treat Hermione, Mione, like another attractive accessory to been thrown away when something better came along? It wasn't right.

The noise of the front door opening caught Ron's attention and turned over to check the time on his alarm clock. 5:07 am. Good thing he didn't have to work that day. Harry walked into their shared bedroom and noticing Ron still awake said 'Good morning, what are you still doing awake?'

'Couldn't sleep' Harry didn't seem to notice the coldness of Ron's tone and continued to chat.

'Mate you wouldn't believe the hottie I met tonight'

Through gritted teeth Ron replied 'I thought you were there with Hermione'

'She left early' Harry gave a small chuckle 'And you know how it is mate, never pass up a golden opportunity'

'No I don't' Ron responded icily

'God she was gorgeous, really leggy you know? And the things she could do with her tongue…'

Ron interrupted 'I don't want to know'

Harry finally noticing the more than frosty attitude of Ron asked 'What's up with you tonight?'

'What's up with me? What's up with me?' Ron's voice rose slightly, 'I'm not the one dating our best friend and then kissing some other girl'

'Whoa, dating…it was just one party a couple of kisses'

'You kissed her?' Ron practically yelled. Lowering his voice to a whisper in case of waking Hermione he repeated 'You kissed her?'

'What's the problem?' Harry seemed genuinely confused.

'Oh, you are kidding me right? Apart from the fact that Hermione certainly seems to think that you're dating and then you went and…did whatever you did with another girl. On top of that do you not remember a particular little conversation we had a couple of weeks ago?' Ron asked in heated whispers.

'Conversation…what?' Harry had no idea why his best friend was so mad at him.

'The conversation where I told you about my feelings for Hermione'

'Oh yeah, I figured you'd taken so long doing anything about it that you were over it' Harry tried to explain, 'anyway, it's not like Hermione and I have a relationship going, we're just having a bit of fun'

'Well maybe you should clear that up with Hermione before you go around with other girls behind her back.' Ron practically spat.

'God, settle down a bit will you. If it means that much to you I'll back off'

Ron was quiet for several moments and then sighed. 'No, I believe you that you honestly weren't trying to hurt me and Hermione seems happy, so just…just don't hurt her will you mate?' Ron looked deeply dismayed. 'I just want her to be happy'

'Yeah, sure…but we're not anything serious, just a bit of fun'

'I seriously think you should tell her that first' Harry rolled his eyes at Ron 'Anyway, why Hermione, why now? You never seemed interested in her like that before'

'I wasn't. It was just, that day, you know, I hadn't had a girlfriend for a while, and Hermione and I were in the kitchen and one thing lead to another…'

Ron seemed to become quite heated again. 'So what you're saying is that you were horny and she was there!'

'Well, I wouldn't put it quite like that…'

'God Harry, you hurt her and I'll kill you. Best friends or not', with that Ron rolled over on his bed to face the wall and shut his eyes leaving Harry staring at him in bewilderment. He honestly thought he had done nothing wrong.

Two friends having a bit of fun.

What was Ron's problem?

Sorry this one is a bit short, more coming soon...
