hogwarts365 Prompt #95-“Music gives color to the air of the moment.”-Karl Lagerfeld; Absinthe; Scooter
Notes: Angstier than my usual fare. Not my typical pairing either, but this is where the prompts took me this week. I hope that any who read this enjoys. If any of this seems out of character, please do remember that both the boys have been drinking some rather potent alcohol.
Summary: Ron and Harry are helped out of long-kept secrets by the green fairy.
Green Fairy
“Welcome to the Green Fairy. Do enjoy yourselves this evening.”
“The name of this place is The Green Fairy? I’m not sure we should be in here.”
“Ron, relax. The name refers to the alcoholic drink absinthe.”
“Wasn’t that banned for causing hallucinations?”
“For years, yes. Until they learned that it actually doesn’t. Now would you just loosen up and dance with me?”
“I’d rather just get on my scooter and go home, mate.”
“Ron. Listen to me, okay? You’ve been moping about for weeks, and it has to stop. Hermione will be fine, and so will you. Now, do I need to tie you up and drag you to the bar, or will you come willingly?”
“You win. I’ll come.”
“Well, that was enthusiastic.”
“Harry...”
“Would you like to try some absinthe? It has a sort of licorice flavour.”
“How do you know?”
“I’ve drowned my sorrows here more than once. The barkeep and I are quite good friends.”
“Potter. Back again I see. I was able to buy that new telly thanks to you.”
“I’m surprised that you of all people would want one.”
“They’re fascinating. Like our wizarding portraits, but better. Shall I bring your usual bottle? I see you have company this evening. Hello, Weasley.”
“Malfoy? You own this place?”
“Yes. And I want to thank you for finally agreeing to go out with our Harry. He almost wore a hole in my barstool with his bottom.”
“Draco, I really should hex you right now.”
“But you won’t.”
“Just leave the bottle, yeah?”
“As you wish, Potter.”
“That was very weird. Was it some parallel universe? You and Malfoy are friends?”
“We are.”
“He’s not your…is he?”
“Boyfriend? No. He offered, but I was interested in someone else.”
“Good. It would be odd to think of you dating Malfoy.”
“Why? He is quite fit.”
“Harry, that’s just not on.”
“It’s true. But it doesn’t matter anyhow. I don’t like him in that way.”
“Who is it that you like, then?”
“I think you know the answer, Ron.”
“I want to hear you say it.”
“I’m not drunk enough to do that yet.”
“Why did you bring me here, Harry?”
“To cheer you up.”
“Why do you think I need cheering up?”
“Hermione broke up with you.”
“She did. And I do miss her, but it was time.”
“Time? Why?”
“We both knew we were just together because everyone expected it. That’s not something to build a marriage on.”
“Then why have you been looking so gutted?”
“Because I realised that I actually am in love with someone, and it scares me. There, I said it. Please don’t make me do that again.”
“Ron, what are you saying?"
“Don’t make me, Harry. I can’t. God, I couldn’t…”
“What would be so horrible about it? We’ve already done it once.”
“It was a long time ago. We were eleven, and I was curious. That’s all there was.”
“Don’t you want to find out what there could be between us now? I do. I want to dance with you, to feel your body against me. I want to know what it’s like to get beyond a kiss with you. I want to take you in my arms during a sad song and let you know that you’re safe. Loved. Gods, Ron. Please.”
“What if it didn’t work? Harry, I couldn’t bear to lose you.”
“That’s exactly why we should be together. We fit. It’s a full moon. A time for making new beginnings.”
“I don’t know, Harry.”
“Dance with me, please? This song is perfect. Music gives color to the air of the moment. This moment was built for romance.”
“Harry…you aren’t making this any easier.”
“Love isn’t meant to be easy. Love is worth too much to ever be easily gained.”
“Who knew drinking would turn you so philosophical? I think you’ve had enough.You aren’t even sounding like yourself.”
“I’d be anyone you wanted if it meant there was a chance of you loving me back.”
“Harry, mate, there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re perfect. Eyes as green as that damn absinthe you’re drinking. I could drown in you and die happy.”
“Take me home, Ron. Take me to bed.”
“I can’t. I’m sorry. I don’t want this to be just because we were drinking.”
“I hope you know I’m not going to give up on you.”

Ronald Weasley, NOW! You kiss Harry Potter now or there will be a Howler every morning to wake you up until you come to your senses!
*big pleading eyes and tiny voice: Could you write one with a happier end now, please? I think someone's come to their senses...*
Heh, sorry for the fit of madness, I get those sometimes! :) Lovely work, I just wish that stupid Weaselby didn't take Harry's love for granted! ;) Erm... I guess I got a bit too invested into characters, huh? ;)

Thanks for making my morning! :)
