Summary: Ron has a crush. So does Harry. Unfortunately, neither of them has a clue.

Someone Else’s Name

“Will you go with me to the party, Ron?”

“Harry, I can’t. She’ll be there.”

“Of course Hermione will be there. The party is at her parents’ summer home.”

“We haven’t spoken since the night she broke up with me.”

“Why did she break up with you? Neither of you’ve ever told me.”

“She caught me wanking and playing with a vibrator. I called out someone else’s name when I came. She called me a bastard and ran out.”

“May I ask whose name you called out?”

“I’m not drunk enough for this…I need more firewhiskey.”

“Is it that bad? Your face is redder than your hair.”

“It’s bad.”

“So bad you can’t tell your best friend? I thought we were mates.”

“We are. That’s why I can’t tell you. You’d hate me.”

“I could never hate you, Ron.”

“Don’t be so sure, Harry.”

“Try me. It’s not Malfoy, is it mate?”

“Eurgh…no. Just no.”

“Then who is it?”

‘I just can’t, Harry. I’m sorry.”

“You don’t trust me to keep a secret? Is that it?”

“No! It’s not that. Never that. I-I—“

“You what?”

“I—Merlin, this is so hard! I’m starting to sound like I belong in a bad Celestina Warbeck song.”

“All she writes are bad songs, Ron. Get to the point, would you?”

“I love you, all right. It’s you.”

“Hermione caught you wanking over me?”

“Go ahead and laugh. I know I’m ridiculous, Harry. You’d never look twice at me. You could have anyone you wanted.”

“Do you hear me laughing, Ron?”

“No.”

“Do you know why?”

“Because you’re my best mate and don’t want to hurt my feelings?”

“Ron, you are clueless sometimes, you know that?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“That I love you, too, even if you are an insecure prat. Did you miss the part of this conversation where I asked you on a date?”

“Wait, you want me to come to Hermione’s party as your date?”

“What did you think I meant, Ron?”

“Not that.”

“Will you go with me?”

“On one condition.”

“What?”

“Kiss me like you mean it.”

“Gladly.”

“Gods, Harry. I feel like I’m dreaming.”

“Not a dream, Ron.”

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

Oh, that's super sweet!:D It has Ron in it and he's my favourite! :) That's actually my second favourite pairing I you did them credit! Not that I'm an expert, no, but I enjoyed it very much. To me this pairing is much more believable than Harry/Draco (and, admittedly, also more than my favourite Ron/Draco). Hugs for making my Sunday!

[my_thestral]

Not dissing anyone, heh, this LJ owner is a proud Drarry shipper herself and if we were to count ourselves, I'd probably be feeling like that movie "300" (Spartans against a gazillion of Persians). But if you feel sending an army onto this lone ranger - bring it on, I may stand alone, but I fear no one (see my post on the creepy crawlers for reference ;)).
But just to clear the record - I also said this ship was more believable than my own favourite, didn't I? I actually think mine is the most unbelievable of all three - but I can definitely see all it's advantages! :)

[my_thestral]

:) know, I could see you winking from where I sit! ;) I don't diss other pairings, they just don't work for me and I'm aware that I'm the minority in not liking H/D - I was just happily embracing the fact that someone can ship Harry with someone other than Draco and not die of shock! ;)
I could hardly speak of using my R/D icons, I don't have too many lying around, and let's see if I can even find the one I do have - just to make a stand.;) Sorry indeed for journal spamming, bleedingangel, we'll take that into a different ring, that's a promise! *puts her boxing gloves on and calls upon her army of spiders* ;)

[my_thestral]

I know... :) I don't play nice, I play to win - Slytherin here. ;)

[my_thestral]

Ronald Weasley!!!! Get here THIS MINUTE and apologize to your biggest fan! I never...! Don't make me tell your mother you were rude! That's it, you'll be getting a howler a day until you apologize! ;)

[my_thestral]

Oh,don't bother, I'm sure he'll notice when he gets his first spider-shaped Howler who makes lovely hissing sounds. I'm sure he's reading Drarry with his arms wrapped around Draco, laughing at all those silly people who got it wrong.;) Stil waiting for apology... :)

[my_thestral]

Lavender, love - yeah, I know it's you, no one else calls him Won-Won - I strongly suggest you stop feeding Ron a love-potion or I may have to inform the ghost of our beloved Professor Snape that someone's been stealing from his Potions cabinet. And that, my darling, will not be a pretty sight.
Well, I put the lovely Bill up to be jealous, of course! I'm glad to see it worked. And in case he's not *quite* jealous enough - he's got another dragon-tamer of a brother... That's what you get when you ignore your Slytherin fan-club, Ronald! Howler is set to show up at 6 AM, darling... still time to apologize. :)

[my_thestral]

Ron would have nothing to fear with the big mean Slytherin here to protect him. *gives him a promising and inviting kiss on the cheek* Not in Mordor, not anywhere else. Come on here, darling, I can give you the world entire.;)
I know Ron doesn't read my stories (which is a good thing, cause they're really that bad) - he's not much of a reader and too busy doing what the stories says he does.:) But if he did, he'd know he's hardly ever a bottom - it says that explicitly! A Gryffindor, a bottom... what a ridiculous thought. They live high up in a tower, while we Slytherin's slyther in the dugeons - a Slytherin bottom is a natural! ;)

[my_thestral]

Oh, I can feel the resistance fading even from where I sit! Must be the love potion losing its effects. Nothing dirty about it, Ronald, all fun for you! C'mon, come to the dark side, we've got cookies - you know you want to. Leave that boring Gryffindor to her illegal devices and come have fun with a certain sexy silver-eyed Slytherin. :)

No need to behave. Seeing this back-and-forth between you two is giving me a giggle fit when I really needed a laugh. As long as it's all in fun, which this clearly, is, I don't mind. :D

[bleedingangel84.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad this makes you happy. I know I usually write Drarry, but I've been wanting to do something that was out of my comfort zone for a while now, and the prompts led me to this. I'm pleased that you appreciated it so much. <3 *hugs*

[my_thestral]

You know what they say at the rock concerts when the show is over: We want more! We want more! :) You're doing to well, you need to make another one of these! :D
(And sorry about me and Praevarus soiling your journal a bit - we "root" for different pairings and we kind of fell into it, but we're good friends in real life, mind you, she's one of my favourite LJ people!:))

[bleedingangel84.livejournal.com]

Oh, no need to apologize for the "soiling". I was literally sitting at my computer giggling like a looney reading your comments to each other. I could tell you guys are good friends. Only good friends would tease each other like that, so no worries. I really do not mind at all. I may do more of this pairing at some point. I liked doing this one, and it's nice to do something different from Drarry every now and then. Though, I'd never say that to Draco.

[my_thestral]

No need to say anything - what goes on in the Gryffindor dorms, can stay at the Gryffindor dorms! ;)
Do write more, do! :) I'll read it all!

[my_thestral]

Heey, you're the one who started with Won-Won, you dug the hole yourself! :) That was just too much of an insult to my healthy Slytherin snarkiness! ;) And if food doesn't do it - what would. Know thy enemy... erm, I mean, lover, of course - this R/D thing doesn't work without a hefty dose of animosity for a spark! :)

[my_thestral]

I absolutely agree! We'd have something in common, yikes, what a thought! :)
Wow - we agree on something, better leave it at that! :)
(BTW - that was good fun! :D)
