Prompt: 068 – Brother
Pairing: Harry x Ron
Length: 221
Things just weren't that simple anymore. Then again he was Harry-bleeding-Potter; of course things weren't going to be simple. It was an accident really though… and experiment gone wrong. Well, not quite wrong as far as Harry was concerned. It was born of sheer desperation really and it was obvious how desperate they were that the two fourteen year-olds had come to the conclusion that if they couldn't find dates to the Yule Ball then they would damn well take each other.
They were going as friends and people knew that even if they laughed at Harry and Ron as they walked past, heads held proudly in the air. The plan was just to get through the mandatory dance then sit out and wait for The Weird Sisters. However their plan hadn't quite worked – but it was Ron's fault. If he hadn't decided to lean down as the final note of their one dance rang out to capture Harry's lips in his own in what turned out to be a kiss almost as fiery as the instigator's hair – in front of the entirety of the upper years – they could have just gone on their way, but no. Ron just had to let it be known that they were far from brothers anymore and he clearly didn't care who else knew either.
