Harry tentatively opened the door and entered the dorm. Ron looked up from where he was sitting on his bed, however so did their other three roommates. They all greeted him and he responded absently while walking towards Ron who was determinedly not looking at him.
"Ron." He said, no response. "Ron! We gotta talk." He urged.
"Really? Now you want to talk to me?" Ron said angrily standing up, forgetting the rest of their dorm mates presence.
"Look I don't really know why you're so angry," Harry began.
"Why? Because you don't tell us anything anymore! Why didn't you tell me about her?" Ron asked.
"You didn't exactly react well this morning! And there was nothing to tell, until this morning." He said.
"Harry, you were gone all night!" Ron exclaimed.
"She was upset!" Harry said angrily.
"And you were there to comfort her?" Ron asked disbelievingly.
"Yeah I was." He said, Ron scoffed. "Just ask Fred, he knows we're just friends!" Harry said desperately.
"You probably were in the holidays, but once Fred was out of the picture you jumped at the chance!" Ron ranted. Harry sighed in exasperation.
"How many times? I am not, and was not seeing your brother." Ron glared at him and shook his head, but said nothing else. Seamus was the one to break the silence, making Harry jump because he'd forgotten they were there.
"How do you tell the difference? Between them?" he asked.
"It's in their mannerisms." Harry said absently, still looking at Ron who was staring determinedly out of the window. "Like the way they walk, George sort of plods. Fred's more graceful." They all raised their eyebrows at him and Harry rolled his eyes. "Oh and Fred's half a centimetre taller, has slightly less freckles and his eyes have a hint of green in with the blue." He continued.
"Ugh." Ron said, "Next you'll be telling us how his lips are silky soft." He said mockingly.
"More velvet really." Harry said absently, and then for the second time in barely ten minutes clapped his hand over his mouth. What was it with him blurting things out today?
"And how the hell would you know?" Ron said, almost shouting. Harry just gaped, unable to say anything. "I knew it! That's another to add to the list of things you haven't told us!" he growled angrily.
"I didn't exactly have a choice in it." Harry said finally regaining his voice.
"What?"
"The kiss, he kinda took me by surprise, and then he ran away and didn't speak to me for a few months. We talked at Christmas and are back to being mates again, so you've got nothing to worry about there." Harry explained, there was a silent pause, Ron appeared to have no response for that. "So, are you still mad?" Harry asked tentatively.
"Yes!" Ron exclaimed. "But I don't know why." He frowned.
"I'll talk to you more I promise, it's just some things, I dunno, I want to keep to myself. But I promise to tell you the important stuff." He said. His stomach twisted guiltily as he said this, knowing he still hadn't told them about the prophecy.
"Promise?"
"Yeah." He said, and forced a smile. "Shall we kiss and make up?" he asked innocently.
"I love you like a brother Harry." Ron said smiling.
"Damn it." Harry muttered making the others laugh. Harry turned to Neville, Dean and Seamus. "If you enjoyed this show, stay tuned for similar viewing." He said taking a small bow. Dean and Seamus laughed but Neville and Ron frowned in confusion.
"Muggle thing." Dean explained.
"Shall we go downstairs so Ginny and Hermione know we haven't hexed each other?" Harry asked.
"Sure." Ron smiled, but then frowned again. "No, hang on." he said, "You still haven't explained this thing with that Poliakov chick." He said, Harry sighed.
"There's nothing to explain." He repeated.
"But you were there-"
"All night. I know. Look she was upset and I stayed with her. I ain't gonna tell you anymore because it's her business and not yours." He said bluntly. For a moment Ron looked like he was going to argue again but instead he shrugged.
"Whatever." He muttered, and they started downstairs again, if less enthusiastically than before.
