A/N: Very short chapter. The next one should be up on monday at some time.
Harry had finally caught up with Ron in Griffindor Common room. Harry was happy to find it empty. Everyone was probably outside enjoying the sunshine. Something Harry wished he could be doing right now, with his two best friends.
"Ron."
"Harry, tell me the truth. Please?"
"Sit down." Ron obeyed, fearing what Harry was going to say.
"It started a couple of months ago. Hermione and I we're feeling a bit down. We we're doing that charms essay. We enjoyed each other's company and before you know it we we're kissing. Well, one thing led to another…" Harry paused. Ron had a look of disbelief, his two best friends, doing it, behind his back.
"At first we ignored the fact that it had happened. Yet we let it happen again. We let the heat of the moment get to us. That's all it was Ron, heat of the moment. No feelings. Before we knew it, it was becoming a regular thing. We would meet at various places around the castle, between lessons, lunch, late at night. It was becoming an addiction. Then all my old feelings for Ginny came back. I asked her out, and ended things with Hermione last night. That's why she was so upset."
Ron didn't want to be angry at Harry, but he had no idea how to react.
"You were screwing MY girlfriend behind MY back." Harry nodded apologetically.
"Harry you have everything, fame, money, girls left right and centre all wanting to be yours. If you wanted a fuck buddy why did you have to choose my girlfriend?" Harry knew Ron had every right to be angry, but he was not going to make this Harry's entire fault.
"Firstly Hermione came onto me. Secondly, I told you. Your not quite so perfect girlfriend still wanted to lie to you. When I saw your face yesterday, I realised what I had done. How much we had hurt you. You trusted us, and we threw it back in your face. For that, I am truly sorry Ron. You have to believe me."
Ron wouldn't let Harry come near him. He couldn't look at Harry. What he had done was wrong, just wrong.
"Why are you telling me this now?"
"You had to know. I couldn't lie to you forever. I care about you."
"If you cared about me so much you would have never done it in the first place."
"I know. I'm sorry Ron. What can I do to make things better?"
"You could reverse time?"
"Sorry, we broke all the time turners at the ministry in our fifth year."
"Well nothing. I need to be alone Harry. Just go. Leave now."
Harry stood there transfixed to the spot. He knew he should do as Ron asked. He couldn't leave his friend. Ron wouldn't look at Harry. Although Harry knew he knew he was still there. Harry's body finally managed to do as Ron asked. With one last glance at his best friend Harry left and the portrait to Griffindor common room slammed shut. Ron was left alone, filled with the thoughts of everything that had happened. His whole world was crashing down around him, and he had no idea how to stop it.
