Summary: Harry goes to work and Ron is there waiting for him.
Harry stepped into the office he shared with Ron and was not at all surprised to see his best friend leaning on his desk with a rather stern expression. Harry took a breath as discreetly as possible while he closed the door. Before Ron could start giving Harry all the reasons he thought dating Draco was a bad idea he held up a hand.
"Don't try to convince me that this is a bad idea, Ron," he said, as he put his things down. He sat in his chair and continued. "Look, I know you and Draco don't get along. Hell, Draco and I never got alon-"
"Exactly!" Ron said, as he walked around Harry's desk. "You and Malfoy don't get along at all."
Harry gave Ron a rather pointed look for interrupting him. "As I was saying, we never got along but we were kids and it was a long time ago. We've gotten over it. If Draco– don't make that face. It's not as if I'm going to call my own boyfriend by his last name. Stop over reacting, Ron. If Draco can get over my almost killing him in sixth year and I can get over his tricking me that there were dementors at that Quidditch match, then you can get over it all as well. Besides, from what I heard Hermione didn't have a problem with us dating."
"That's because Hermione and Ginny are being blinded by... I really have no clue what. Maybe he... hexed them... or slipped them a potion... or something. "
"Ron, really, Draco's changed," he said. He smiled a bit to himself as he remembered Draco's stubbornness and shook his head. "Well, not completely. He's still stubborn and likes to plot things." Like wonderful ways to torment me in bed "But he doesn't believe in blood-prejudice and all that tripe any more. Do you really think I'd be dating him if he still thought of Hermione as a Mudblood?"
Ron crossed his arms and muttered, "I don't know, Harry, it is still Malfoy..."
"I wouldn't," he said. "Trust my judgement would you?"
Ron glared at Harry a moment before sighing and scratching his head. "I reckon I can... give him a chance."
Harry grinned. "Well, now that you know everything. I had one of the best shags of my life last night."
"Harry! Don't," Ron bellowed, as he glared at him.
"If I have to listen to you going on and on about Hermione, you can tolerate my speaking about Draco. It's not as if I'm going into detail. Unlike some people."
Ron's face became tinged with pink right on cue and Harry continued his story.
