Notes: Prequel of sorts to my Three ‘verse. No explicit slash onscreen. If you’ve read this ‘verse, you know that they’re polyamorous in later installments. If that’s a squick, don’t read these. Now with a continuation: Three Picnic

Written for: hogwarts365 Prompt #90- Birthday Candle; Helmet; Shoe Box

Summary: Harry’s planning a birthday surprise for Draco, and Ron is jealous.

Three Celebrate

“Harry, have you seen a shoe box anywhere?”

“No. Did you check your closet? That’s where you stuffed everything when your mum came to dinner.”

“What would I do without you?”

“Learn to keep track of your own things? By the way, I found your bicycle helmet in the kitchen. May I borrow it? Draco and I are going bike riding.”

“Somehow, I can’t picture Malfoy as the type to have fun outdoors.”

“I wish you’d give him a chance, Ron. You might actually like him if you did.”

“Don’t bet on it, Harry.”

Harry sighed. “Do we have any candles, or did we use the last of them for Charlie’s party last month?”

“A birthday candle?”

“Yes, it’s Draco’s birthday. I’m planning a picnic, but I need candles for his cake.”

“I’m surprised the ferret even eats cakes. I thought he’d be worried over spots or some such thing.”

“What is it that you have against Draco, Ron?”

“He’s Malfoy. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten that he tormented us for years in school.”

“As I recall, that was a two way street. I remember us giving as much as we got. Need I remind you, it was Draco’s wand that helped me defeat Voldemort for good?”

“I know, but he’s still a git. And I don’t like it that you’re going out with him. You’re supposed to be my best mate.”

“Does that mean I’m not to have other friends?”

“Of course not. But it’s Malfoy. With his perfect hair and perfect manners. He annoys me.”

“Wait. You like him, don’t you? You like him and you can’t stand it.”

“That’s not true. What I can’t stand is that you seem to like him more than me. “

“Ron, you are both my friends. I love you both equally.”

“How is that fair? I’ve been your friend for years, and suddenly Malfoy means just as much to you. I…just…forget it. Go and have fun with Malfoy. Tell him I said ‘Happy Birthday’.”

“Come with me and tell him yourself.”

“I can’t do that.”

“Not even for me? There’ll be food. I put a refill charm on our picnic basket.”

“You know me too well.”

Oh, my poor Ronnie! He's so conflicted! He's hated Malfoy for years and now he's sort of beginning to like him, which is definitely confusing, and at the same time he's a bit afraid he'll lose Harry to him. Oh, my... I can definitely see where he's coming from, he's afraid of being replaced.
Ronnie, I'll have you if no one else will!!! :D <-- And that's a lesson in being royally pathetic! :)
Lovely story, do go on! :)

I am so happy you enjoyed this. The prompts this week just demanded that I write the beginning of how these three got together. If they cooperate, I have every intention of writing more of this. Poor Ron is always conflicted where Draco is concerned, but that's what makes the two of them so fascinating to write. And you aren't pathetic, you are fangirling, which is perfectly fine. :)
